There has been much boasting o: the great accumulation of wealth in this country, of the number of our millionaires, the magnitude of our business combinations, the immen sity of the business they do, and the great incomes they have. There is no country in the world, in this or in any other age, which has accumu lated wealth so rapidly, or in which so many colossal fortunes have been amassed in such a short time by in dividuala and by so many. This may be a cause for self-congratula lation and for boasting, but it is also a cause for concern to the thinker and well wisher of his country. Whether this wealth so rapidly accumulated becomes a curse or a blessing, a curse or a blessing to those who own it and to others, depends altogether on the use that is made of it. Senator Lodge, of Massachu setts, is one of the most scholarly of our Senators. He is a student, a moralist, a thinker and a philoso pher, more of these than a politician. He made an address at the dedica tion of Clark College, at Worcester, Mass., last Thursday, when he thus referred to the responsibilities of wealth: "If the holders of immense fortunes lose sight of the responsibilities which this great wealth brings they became, in my judgment, the greatest source -of danger which our modern times afford. If these great fortunes are ad ministered with a due sense of respon sibility to the community, whose laws have made their accumulation possi ble they will not only be beneficient, but they will be a bulwark of liberty, of order, and of progress. "When wealtn expends in a single evening upon a vulgar, brainless en tertainment an amount of money the income of which would mean affluence to thousands of families; when it is used to promote corners in the neces sities of life, or for desperate gambling in the stock market; when it is engag ed in an effort to debaunch elections or control legislatures ; when it con aiders that everything is for sale, leg islatures and courts, public offices, the honesty of men and the honor of women, it is hard to overestimate the peril which it portends. "When so used and bought only for its own sake it puts weapons into the hands of those who through envy, malice, ignorance, or misfortune seek the overthrow of society and to pro dace the anarchy which would return men to tfie savage state from which they have so painfully climbed up ward. "But when wealth realizes the re sponsibilities it is a protection and a strength." Who will gainsay the truth of this or its appropriateness? When has there ever been such a vulgar pa rading of wealth, or so much of it ac quired by questionable if not abso lutely dishonest methods? We are not as old as Noah Raby, but we re member the time when there were not two millionaires in this country, and when a man who was worth a tenth of a million was considered rich. A person worth no more than that now would feel like a beggar at a feast if he got into fashionable so ciety, if he could get In at all. To mingle with the bon-ton, the elect, he has to spend, whether able to do it or not, from $20,000 to $30,000 a year when his father, perhaps, cob bled shoes or peddled clocks and mouse-traps. If that were all it would be bad enough, but it isn't all, for these people are the leaders of fashion and of customs and those with smaller fortunes ape them, as the elect - ape the aristocracy of other lands, and thus it goes until the whole land,' aa far as those are concerned who - aspire to being any. & UiUiD Vllrt III' J w" " folks' becomes more or less . demor- alized.drift away from the landmarks of demooratio simphoity and so lidity towards the lines that hedge in the aristocracy of dollars, with out character or brains to add to their claims to recognition or supe riority. But it doesn't stop here for it is felt in church and state. If this new man of wealth connects himself with a church the probibilities are that he does it as a sort of patron and claims the right to hold a sort of supervising eye over it to see that it comes up to his standard. He contributes liberally to its expenses and the salary of the preacher and thus becomes a sort of pillar al though from a moral standpoint he may be a very rotten one. He makes himself felt in affairs of state for his money is used in conventions to secure the. nomina tion of his tools for office and then goes into the campaign fund to elect the tools nominated, and then through these tools in office he shapes and secures the legislation which he desires to give him more power. To such an extent has this become the case that in the North it is only men of more or less wealth who aspire to high offices and to congress, and when a candidate for the United States Senate is men tioned about the first question asked is "how many millions is he worth?" Bight here is the cause of so much of the unjust, class legisla tion which has marked the past few decades, the cause of the rapid ac cumulation of many great fortunes, and much if not most of the popu lar complaint and unrest that pre vails and has prevailed for some time. It is the history of nations, re publics as well as monarchies, that it is the few who will be wealthy and the many who will be poor. It is also the .history of nations that the rich become richer whether the poor became poorer or not, for money makes money, and those who have it in sufficient quantities know how to make it do that, how to make ways to do it, especially when they have their agents in the legislative departments, national or State, to enact the laws which they wish enacted. Of course much of this is done honestly, legitimately, and fortunes are added to in the regular way of business as the re suit of enterprise, ability, industry and thrift, but more are made by taking advantage of the favoring legislation inspired by schemers, with whom morals and conscience do not count when weighed against dollars. There are said to be in round numbers about three thousand mil lionaires in this country, while over one half of the wealth of the country is owned by some thirty thousand families, thirty thousand out of about one -million five hundred thousand families, one hundred and fifty thousand people out of seventy six millions. This is the power which to-day controls in public affairs and shapes public policies, and this is the power which sets itself up as supreme and virtually claims the right to rule, the divine right by which coal magnate Baer claims to operate and rule the an thracite mines, and what's more, ex ercisea it. It apparently defers to public sentiment, while through its organs and speakers and manipu lators it essays to control public sentiment, which for some years it has succeeded in doing, and never more so than within the past ten years, during which time such im mense combines have been formed, every one of which is more or less of a factor in our state affairs, and is a factor now. This is one of the conditions against which the many patriotic Americans are contending to-day, in the effort to wrest some of the usurped power from these com bines and give it back to the people rom whom it was stolen and to whom it belongs. It is a hard fight be cause the combines, strong in their colossal wealth and backed by leg islation, have become so firmly en trenched; but the people will win in the end. In the meantime well may Senator Lodge, and otherthinkers who wish their country well, reflect upon and discuss the responsibilities of wealth. THE PAKE LUMBER TARIFF. The salient points in the admira ble speech of Senator Simmons, de- ivered.inthe Court House Monday night, were noted in the Stab yes terday. There were some of those points which had particular bearing upon Eastern North Carolina, one of which is the tariff duties on lum ber, over which Senator Pritchard made so much ado in his speech here, and in other places in the east ern portion of the State, claiming that North Carolina, and especially Eastern North Carolina, has been incalculably benefited thereby, and that to this in a great measure our prosperity is due. There is nothing so effective in exposing fraudulent claims as facts and figures. Senator Simmons pre sents In his speech these facts and figures, which effectually disprove of Pritchard's groundless, fraudu- ent claim, thus. We are told tht nmtvtlnn htm grcaUr lncreaied the price of lumber; to Kind oa Haw Always Thoroughly eradicates the excess of Uric and Lactic Acids from the system, Lr the kidney, into healthy action, cures const.pat.on and mdigestion.

Price $i.oo prepaid express, Bobbltt Chemical Co., - that lumber sold for $9.00 a thousand under Cleveland and the Wilson bill, and is now selling under the Dingley bill at $ia00 a thousand. The duty upon yellow pine lumber is only $3.00 and only $1.00 on white pine. If the manufacturers of lumber should get the full benefit of this protection, it would only increase the price of lum ber $2.00 per thousand. If protection has added that, what has added the other $7.00 increase in the price of lumber! If that other thin, what ever it If, has increased the price $7.00, why may it not have increased it the full amount, or $9.00? How does a duty of $3.00 a thousand exclude Canadian lumber when the price has increased? Can not the Canadian manufacturer pay the $2.00 tax and still have a profit of $7.00? The absurdity of the Republican contention that the present high prices of our lumber is because the Dingrley tariff excludes from our markets the lumber of other coun tries is shown by the fact that under the Dingley tariff, in 1900 there was imported into this country $20,591, 908 worth of wood and the manufac tures of wood, while under the Wil son tariff in 1895 there was imported into this country only $17,814,117 of wood and the manufactures of wood. This shows that it is not the Dlngley tariff which has made our high mar kets, but that our high markets have made the Ding ley tariff of no effect in checking foreign competition in the products of our forests. Toe truth is. the tariff has had noth log to do with the increase in the price of North Carolina lumber. It does not o.mDete with Canadian lumbsr. Theirj is the white pine and the hemlock We have no white pine to speak of, and our hemlock is not considerable merchant able and is not being manufactured for lumber. There are two cu3es for the increase in the price of lumber in this country. First: the return of a great er condition of prosperity, which is a world-wide and not a local condition, be getting in turn greater activity in build ine.and thereby increasing the demand. Secondly, the rapid exhaustion of our supply or lumber. The timber supply of New England ann of the north west is already practically exhausted, and for that reason twenty years ago the lumberman turned his attention to the South. Our supply is also being rapid 1 consumed, and in less than twenty ave years will be exhausted. Under these conditions, the price of lumbar will continue to rise, and will eventu ally be as costly for building as once or sheet iron. Our cotton and our lumber mauufacturea constitute our two most importaat industries. Their combined output represents nearly one-half of our entire manufactured product, and neither of them is bene fited by protection. Even if protection did benefit our lumbermen and North Carolina, it would be bad policy, for it is simply stimulating the destruction of our forests, which will be immensely more valuable, from a commercial standpoint, than they are now. "Killing the goose that lays the golden egg" is not a sensible thine to do. Our forests will be one of our great sources of future wealth if properly cared for, and any policy which hastens their destruction is a bad policy. TRYING TO THROW THE ONUS ON THE MINERS. After having in the late confer ence with the President, bluntly re fused to accept the proposition made by Mr. Mitchell, for the strikers, that is that the President appoint a commission to investigate the strike, by whose decision the strikers would abide, the press dispatches inform us that the mine operators have now made a s imilar proposition, the difference being that they prescribe conditions, fa vorable to them, while Mr. Mitchell, as President of the Miners' Union, presciibed no conditions at, all, leaving the personal and the char acter of the commission entirely to the President, and leaving the commission free to act and report its findings. They adhere to their resolution not to recognize the Miners' Union, because one of the conditions Is that the commission appointed must in vestigate each mine separately and the relations between the managers of that mine and the men employed in it. They say they are not dis posed to increase pay as they believe the pay the miners have received is reasonable and fair and as much as the mine operators can afford to pay. Bight here are two of the es sential points of difference, over which all this contention has been. Yet if they bind themselves to abide by the findings of the commis sion this is not material, but read between the lines it looks very much aa if this proposition was made with the expectation that objection would come from the representa tives of the Miners' Union, who are practically ignored, and thus the onus for further continuance of the strike be thrown upon the striking miners. It is to be hoped, however, in the interest of the suffering public, that the miners will take them at their word, agree to their proposition and look to the Legislature of Pennsyl vania, which - has had Borne very or from your Druggist. - .

Tha Kind Yod Have AlwayfMght SOME TOBACCO FACTS. How Wilmington Loses by Not Befog s Tobacco Market. Wilmington, Oct. 14, 1902. To Editor Star. Dear Sib I have so many reports from the different farmers, ss they come into my store, relative to the tobacco crop of Eastern North Caro Una that I would thank you for space in your paper to relate a portion of a conversation I had with a gentleman from Maple Hill this afternoon. I think the great quantity of tobacco sold this year in Goldsboro, Kinston and New Bern ha3 done our city harm this season. One of my regular cus tomers, Mr. A. E. BurtOD, of Maple H 11, Pender county, says his neigh bors have all traded at Wilming ton, as this was their nearest market.' but this year they have done their Fall shopping at Kinston. He said they not only carried their to bacco to Kinston, but took with them their hams, eggs, chickens and all manner of produce to sell in that mar ket and brought back in their cirts and wagons merchandise of every class from -the Kinston stores. He came here in a cart to-day and stopped at the regular cart house as usual He said last night there were but two carts in the house, while last year there was hardly room enough. The man ager of the cart house says he is hardly getting enough from it to pay his rent this year. Mr. Burton says heretofore the far mers through his section have barely made a support on the poor sandy soil. This year those who raised tobacco sold on the average over f 100 per acre. Next year they will plant twice as much as they did this year, and Wil mingtoa will get every dollar of it ii we offer them the ssme inducements as to market as other plaees do Wil mington being nearer and goods much cheaper here, they would prefer this as their market. I then asked him if he thought the farmers in his section would take stock in our warehouses. He said he would and thought all his neighbors probably would. With their experience and success with tobacco this year in other markets be said Wilmington would permanently lose their trade unless we could give them a market for tobacco equal to other places. On his way here he travelled 15 miles on the main road to Kinston and while he did not like to exaggerate be thought he could truthfully say he saw 150 carts and wagons loaded with tobacco and other produce on their way to Kinston and he said those peo ple all lived nearer Wilmington than he did. His home is 11 miles , from Wilmington. Having heard so much from the farmers and traveling salesmen about the great boom the tobacco business has given other towns, I am more than ever anxious that Wilmington would wake up and realize what it is losing. I believe that I am prepared to say that we can safely pro nisa- every farmer who reads the star lht our city will be in a position to take care of their tobacco crop better than any new market ever started. I think in a few days I may have the pleasure of fully describing to your readers the first step taken as to establishing our warehouse, the loca tion and dimensions. But 1 will prom ise now and stake my business reputa tion as a guarantee to the farmer that we will have warehouses here, also atemmeries and prizeries and plenty of stablea and sleeping room by next season. We want the farmers to build their barns for curing their tobacco now, to prepare their plant beds for the seed by gathering to gether a goodly amount of dry wood and thrasb, to burn it off on the spot where they intend to have their seed bed. I am in hopes that the Chamber of Commerce of our city will see fit to furnish all the farmers with seed. One tablespoonful of tobacco seed contains eighty thousand. It should be planted on a bed 20x20 feet square. which will produce plants enough to set out four acres. We will soon be in position to furnish booklets on the planting and raising of tobacco, and also on the proper way of curing it. One gentleman living on Top Sail Bound says tobacco has been a great success in his neighborhood, and that he intends to plant next year at least fifty acres. Similar reports come in from everywhere. Mr. W. E. Worth and I, after visit ing the other, towns and seeing their success, will not be satisfied in the way of warehouses, prize houses and stemmeries with anything but the beat, with all the modern appoint ments. We will build two warehouses now and more as the trade increases. Let us revolutionize this county and city. Where land was not worth $5 an acre before tobacco was introduced, it is now producing $100 in one year's crop. What might not this great east ern section, with its thousands of acres of the best tobacco producing land on the globe, dot Flant tobacco, farmers, and we will build warehouses. We will do away with the ox and cart and all will ride In buggies. We will send our chil dren to school, and we will become a prosperous and enterprising commu nity. Yours for the tobacco warehouses.

I have lately secured the agency for this city and vicinity of a preparation which is reliable and certain in clearmg away troubles of the skin. Many forms of skin affections which have been considered incurable are conquered by this medicament as easily as a cough is stopped by the proper soothing and healing" influences. This preparation is now in use among skin specialists, and many large hospitals have adopted it for eczema and kindred cases. It stands among the most useful medical agents now known. I have evidence of its work to show which will interest any sufferer. Call and investigate same. Since I have been handling the remedy known as D. D. D. its work proves so effective I guarantee its efficacy. In all cases of skin affection I will refund the price of a bottle ($1) if the sufferer does not consider it literally a Godsend after trying. It is curing the worst kind of cases every day.A It seems a pity any one should suffer the torture of skin troubles when so dependable1 a curative agent can be bad so cheaply. - - COM Mfeft iAL.

Tbe English mar ket was up some four or five points when a rise of only one point had been expected. The better ruling of the stock market seemed to give color to the strike reports. The advance, how ever, failed signally to enthuse the speculative public and after room snorts bad covered, the whole market lowly eased off under pressure of long cotton from commission nouses and bear selling, Working against the cables were fine weather reports from the entire belt and an improve ment in tbe private crop reports. There were few orders to buy cotton from the foreign contingent after the call and the South as a general thing sent selling orders. The trade was Suite certain in Its mind that the week outh had been favorable to late cotton and when the regular government re port made its appearance at midday it nortraved quite the conditions expected. The scalping element - sold freely on the report and forced Janu- p. MIL Wftm R. BELLAMY, WILMINGTON, N. C. nrv off to 3.61. The rebt of the list . off ered little resistance to selling pres- ure and while there were slight rallies Uter in the session on profit-taking by room trader?, the market at best was heavy and favored the bears. - The close was quiet with prices net two to four points lower. Total sales wera estimated at 200,000 bales. The re ceipts for the day were much larger than expected and export clearances were barely 2,000 bales. Reports from Southern spot markets told of less ac tive demand and some disposition on the nart nf holdflra trt orant tho nnr . cessions demanded by exporters and domestic spinners. Nw YOBK, Oct. 14.
