The defenders of the Tru3ta m this country tell us that there are trusts in- eyerv country, and that there were trusts centuries ago When they talk that way they sim ply mean that there are business combinations in every country, and that business combinations existed centuries ago, both of which are doubtless true. But these are not the kind of trusts which are now attracting attention in this country and are beginning to attract atten tion in some other countries. There are only two countries in the world which have trusts that bear any resemblance to the trusts as we have them. These countries are Russia and Germany, both tariff protection countries. The trust de fenders say free trade England has them too, but the organizations which they call trusts in England are quite different from our trusts. They have manufacturing combina binations in England the ob ject of which is bv concen tration of capital and man agement, to cheapen production, so as to compete with the manufac turers of other countries, which ship their manufactures to English mar kets free of tariff duties. But in order to hold their home trade they must sell cheaper in the home mar ket than their competitors do and therefore they cannot run prices up, for when they do they lose trade and their competitors get it. That's the protection the British consum ers have in the home market, and that's why the British so-called trusts cannot take advantage of them as our trusts take advantage of the home purchaser, while deal ing fairly and squarely by the for eign purchaser. If the British so called trusts were protected by a high and practically prohibitory tariff they might do as our trusts do and put prices up to suit themselves, but as they are not, and muBt meet competition, they are forced to keep their prices down to the competi tion mark. That's the difference, and a very radical difference, between the so called British trust and the Ameri can trust. One makes prices low to meet competition; the other puts prices up because it is protected from competition by favoring legisla tion, which bars out competition. Bnt in Russia and in Germany it is different for in both of these countries trust are fostered and pro tected by high tariffs and by export bounties, the latter of which enable them to manuf actureand to sell goods in foreign countries, sometimes at a price less than the coBt of produc tion. This has made combination in England necessary to meet this kind of competition. In Germany the trusts are becoming a subject of discussion pro and con, two ele ments especially taking part in it, one representing the industrial and commercial classes the other the Agr rians. There is a conflict between these, both of which have protection and both of which want more. At a recent meeting of an industrial as sociation in Berlin the following declaration as to trusts was adopt ed: "The bund seas in trusts a natural ten in the development of industry. Ther appear to be called on to adapt Seduction to demand and to prevent Waa competition, which, is usually SpSed by the deterioration of wprZZZZ. jJvfcntaees. there- fo5 deniM loig a. they do not tend to Injure the consumers . m a .a I depandent upon them and so far as they reguiaie production who. a view to the maintenance of fair prices, di minish the cost of production and Im prove methods of industry. As regards industries, nowever, which are working on raw materials and which are at the mercy of trusts in raw stuff, the producers see ia ihe present overgrowth of the latter an evil calling for measures which will assure an economic counterpoise." This refers to what are called the good, the "beneficent" trusts in this country, those considerate combines organized for the purpose of reduc ing the cost of production, and cheap ening the price to the consumer,com- binations which are "as few and far between as angels visits." If they did that and stuck to it, and gave the consumers the benefit of their better and cheaper methods, there would be less objection to them, al though they would not be entirely free from objection then. But there seems to be a conflict between the Industrials with their trusts, and the Agrarians with their trusts; with the Industrials the in dustrial trust is all right, but the Agrarian trust, by the fellows who control the raw materials which the manufacturers need, is all wrong. The Agrarians think it is all right and insist upon still higher tariff du ties so that they may get a tighter grip on the raw materials That's where the selfishness of each comes into play, the manufac turers favoring the high tariff which protects thom, while demanding cheap raw materials. The con- trollers of the raw materials de mand cheaper manufactures, while insisting on more protection for the raw materials, just as soma ol our protected manufacturers, while en joying the benefits of protection on their manufactures, clamor for free raw materials, against which the fellows who control the raw ma terials protest, all of which shows that there is a good deal of selfish ness in average human nature, on whatever side of the ocean it. may be or whatever language it may speak. There ia one class of people who do not figure in this business and are not considered at all, either by the Industrials or by the Agrarians This is the great mass of the Ger man people who are neither manu facturers nor exporters nor Agra rians, people who live by earning, are dependent their daily earnings, and to buy. from day to wage upon have day the necessaries of life. These con stitute the bulk of the German peo ple, as they do the bulk of the popu lation of all countries, and it is these who are taxed for the benefit of the trusts which control manufactures and the Agrarians . who control the raw materials which the manufac turers use. This is the class that is not considered and yet it is this class the enforced tributes upon which go to enrich both the pro tected interests of which we speak, just as the masses in this country are forced to pay tribute to tha trusts which control manufactures and the trusts which control the raw materials. It is a selfish game of plunder on both sides of the ocean, by which the few are bene fited and the many robbed. LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE." We are not in the habit of quoting Hon. Mark Hanna as a teacher, but this quotation from him is an apt injunction to the people of North Carolina who are appealed to by Re publican speakers to reject Demo cratic government and put power in the hands of the Republicans, and their allies, under various deceptive names. When they make these ap peals they not only admit but de clare that North Carolina is prosper ing as she never prospered before. They claim, of course, but it is a fraudulent claim, that this prosper ity is the outcome of Republican national politics, but no national politics could bring and keep pros perity with us if the State were badly governed, and if captalists and business men did not have confidence in the government. In all their declamation and parti san railing they have not tried to gainsay that fact, or dared to make any charge of bad government, of oppressive government, of maladmin istration, of dishonesty, or of any other dereliction on the part of the Democrats entrusted with the charge of public affairs. We have had hon est, clean government, something the Republicans, and the allies they acted with, never gave us, and the State has been in Democratic con trol long enough, since the Republi can plunderers were first overthrown, to give the people ample proof of that. "A burnt child dreads the fire" and it would be inconceivable that the thinking, intelligent, sensible people of North Carolina after their perience with Republican rule and Fusion rule should at the solicita tion of Republican spellbinders, and hungry office hunters, permit themselves to be cajoled or dragged into the fire again. There is, in our estimation, not the slightest danger of their being either cajoled or dragged, xnere ia pui one danger, ana mas ia m me in difference begotten of ovewjonfi- dence, which may keep Demoeratic voters from the polls while the revenue gangs throughout the State, and other strikers of Candidate Pritchardand his "independent" as sociates will travel the highways and the byways to poll every vote they can against the Democratic party. They will work. We must remember that. IT SHELTERS THE TRUSTS. We made reference a few days ago to the speech made by Gov ernor Cummins, of Iowa, in Chi cago, in which he interpreted and defended the Iowa declaration as to tariff revision and the trusts. The language of the Des Moines plat form is vague, it promises to do something in the future if that something prove to be advisable, to reduce the tariff when it has be come apparent that it is too high, and to cut down the protection given to the trusts if it appears that this protection "theltara" them and enables them to discrim inate against the American people in the matter of prices. That was the language of politi cians catering to public sentiment and trying to placate the restive people who were demanding tariff reduction and protection from the extortionate demands of the trusts. It was a promise intended for elec tion purposes, and one which they could not be afterwards accused of violating because it was conditional, promised nothing definitely, and permitted the promisors to use their own discretion and to take their own time in keeping it it they ever concluded to keep it. Governor Cummins was one of the original movers among the Re publicans of that State for tariff re duction and for protection from the trusts. He doesn't believe that tariff revision is something that may be attended to at leisure in the fu ture, but should be attended to promptly and without unnecessary delay, nor does he believe that the trusts do not use the protection they have as a means of extorting high prices from American consum era, in other words that the tariff does not, (to quote the Iowa plat form phraseiology) "shelter" trust?. In the speech to which we have re ferred, delivered in Chicago, he said: "I speak but the sober truth when I say that now, with a full demand a1 home, the producer can and does us excessive duties as a weapon to en farce more than a reasonable price for the things he produce?. Protection will stand as a shield for honest labor and a mine for lawful profi, but it snail not be used as a sword for indus trial piracy or as a mint for illegal gain." This is talking more to the point and more like the man who honest ly means to do something which he thinks should be done, than the people placating politicians in Iowa who tried to humbug the voters with vague, unmeaning declarations that they might never stand by unless driven to it by popular sentiment, as they were driven when they adopted the declarations. Nicaragua may be a good country for revoluters, but it doesn't en courage the loafer much. A late law defines "a laborer" as any per son, male or female, who has less than 1100. That same law provides that every laborer must have an em ployer, and if he or she hasn't, he or she is seized by the cops, imprisoned for twenty days and put to work for the State until an employer shows up. Secretary Moody, who is a Boston man, has become moody over the refusal of the coal barons to end the strike and open the mines. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the other day, he declared that the duty of G7 cents a ton was what was making them so saucy and that it should be repealed without ceremony. That's what a good many of us thought a good while ago. A New Jersey woman wants a divorce because her husband per sists in throwing chestnut jokes at his mother-in-law, old mother-in-law gags, and kicks his bull dog be cause the bull dog will not bite that mother-in-law. She is entitled to a divorce and so is the bull dog. Such a freak isn't fit to associate with a mother-in-law nor with a bull dog. The question "what becomes of all the pins" has never been satis factorily answered. And now some one, in view of the fact that the factories in this country turn out 8,000 watches a day, wants to know what becomes of all the watches. A good many of those that are made these days become a nuisance in a little while. The gentleman who performs as Sultan of Bacolad, in the island of Mindanao, informs Gen, Sumner that he is not only willing for a scrap, but hankering for it. The religion of Mohammed must be pre served if he has to spear and bolo every fellow who comes his way with American clothes on. Gen. Sum ner considers him a very saucy and insultin' sort of Sultan.

Winston Sentinel: News is received here that Mr. Isaac Hobson, who was employed at the steam dis tillery of Carrol Davis, at Comrades, Tadkin county, was fatally scalded on Friday. He died on Saturday. It is learned that Hobson went .to shut off ihe steam when the stil burst, throw infr the boiling water all over him. He suffered intense pain and was in great agony until he died. Gastonia Gazette: The Loray sheetings have certainly captured the fancy of the Chinese trade. About six months ago we had the pleasure of mentioning this mill's first order of $100,000 worth for that market. Since that time the Loray has shipped $250, 000 worth of goods, and has taken or ders enough, besides, for'the Chinese trade to keep the mill busy until the first of January. Their commission m n find the Loray products so popu lar for export that they are offering the mill still further orders for the same class of goods. Kaleigh News ' and Observer: Albert Combs, a white man, married, committed suicide Monday night near Goldsboro by throwing himself under ho incoming passenger train on the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. His head was severed from his body. "Mrs. Ellen Vannoy, of Nettle Knob, Ashe county, committed sui cide last week. On last Thursday no one was left at the home but Mrs. Vannoy and her youngest son. She sent this boy to the store after some tobacco and while he was gone she made preparations to hang herself. Her son returned faom the store sooner than she expected and she kissed the boy and sent him off again. She then hung herself with a trace chain in a stable loft.,' Fayetteville Observer: Amos Carter, one of the youthful stepsons of Larkin Bedsolf, who was so badly wounded Sunday by Lis wife and her two sons, was brought to this city Monday night and committed to jail to await trial on the charge of an at tempt to kill his stepfather, or, if the old man die, that of murder. This boy, who is but 14 years of age, says that Bledsole was beating his mother when they made the combined attack on him It is reported that Mr. E. W Shedd, and the Northern capitalists who were in Fayetteville Saturday have purchased the Aberdeen & Bock- fish railroad from Mr. John Blue, This road runs within nine miles of Fayetteville, its eastern terminus be ing at Currie's mil), and its western at Aberdeen. If this report is true, of coarse this road will be used as one of the links of the Central railroad of North Carolina, which is to be built from Concord to Fayetteville. CURRENT COMMENT Preliminary to his effort at beating a sense of duty into the head of those mine operators, Presi dent Roosevelt had a choice between persuasion and a pickaxe as the best means for accomplishing his purpose. He chose the wrong weapon. At lanta Journal, Dem. The reason why soft coal is bringing $3.50 a ton wholesale here now, is because not enough to sup ply the demand is sent to market. The reason why not enough is sent to market is because the whole salers can get $8.50 a ton for what they were pleased last Spring to sell for $2.50 a ton when the supply equalled the demand. In other words, they are holding back their stock that they may extort a swin dling price for what they sell. Brooklyn Citizen, Devi. The Rhode Island Republi- licans are still firmly wedded to the theories and practice of protection. But as they say in the platform which they adopted on Thursday, they "do not fail to recognize the fact that new or changed industrial conditions may naturally lead from time to time to a readjustment of tariff rates. This is, from a Re publican point of view, both ortho dox and rational doctrine. Will it not, however, send shivers down the backs of the Republican politicians who hold the Dingley schedules to be aa fixed and immutable as the laws of the Medea and Persians? Are there no D. B.

IT MIGHT BE THIS, The mystery surrounding the death of so much stock as a result of eating the dried cornstalks in the fields seems to be not yet solved. We venture to offer the following, which, while it may be far from solving the mystery, may still possibly point a way to its solution: It is a well established fact that second growth sorghum is a most deadly poison fof stock which eat of it. There jire instances where second growth torn the shoots which spring up where the corn is cut off before the plant had arrived at maturity pro duced the same deadly results. The why of this we do not know, for both sorghum and the corn are perfectly healthful foods when of normal growth. May it not be that the sus pended growth and development of the corn in many fields last season owing to the druu.l.t and excessive heat, fol lowed thirty days later by conditions which fostered a second growth, re sulted in producing precisely the same toxic conditions which are associated with a second growth where the stalk was cut off? The phenomenon of a sec ondary indenization of the cornfields, the result of this secondary growth during 11)01, as a result of which seem ingly worthless fields of corn were converted into most productive ones, was a very common one and familiar to all our readers through the corn belt. May not the fatalities among the stock be connected with this fact? WHOLESALE PRICES CURREIT M Tne ronowing quotations represent Wholesale Prices generally.

The cotton market opened steady with prices un changed to three points higher on cov ering and what appeared to be Wall street bull support, based solely upon reports of frost in northern Ai&bam?, northern Mississippi and northern Georgia. The Liverpool cables were distinctly disappointing and the move ment of the crop was large. Not long after the call there was a marked change in the temper of the market and early buyers turned sellers The English market private cables w-re discouraging to longs here aud the pri vate news from the crop country told of no damage by the cold wave and splendid growing conditions over the entire southern half of the crop coun try. The late forecast promised warm er weather for the northern sectiop. Wall street failed to support the Win ter months to the extent expected and the South was a free selier. Before midday the market was v.eak rnd very feverish with prices wl brlo the close of yesterday. Theu came a slight and brief raily ou room profit-taking, soon followed by more pronounced weakness than be fore. For the balance of the after noon liquidation and bearjpressure were prominent and the news on the whole was decidedly against improvement. Prices dropped point by point, with the close at about the bottom , a cet loss of about six to ten points'. The tone was barely steady. Total salts were estimated at 300, Ouu. Clearances for export were large. New Orleans and Galveston were heavy stllers t the1 Winter and Spring months in Ue last hour and there were liberal sahs made for European account as well Nw York.
