V TARIFF cVC The National lAre Stock Associa- ttin mot in annual convention at Kansas City, Mo., last Tuesday and heard some pretty breezy talk cpthe Beef Trust, the proposed merger, the tariff, protection, Ac. In the address of President Springer, of Denver, he thus wared the red flag and served notioe on the gentlemen who are behind the proposed beef merger, the scheme the big four who . .nn. fha T?flf Trust have hit upon to circumvent the Sherman i j with Attorney law, ikuu sOB aT"j " General Knox: ; "Never before was nch" ""J combination ttompttrf.

But they must - play a bold game if they hope to hold their own for if thev don't and do not stand together and fight to gether.ahd that merger be organised they , will be as completely in its power as the so-called independent steel plants of the country are in the power of the Steel Trust, or the so-called independent oil plants are in the nower of the Rockefeller Oil Trust. One of the first things the merger would do would be to get control by lease or otherwise of large areas of grazing lands upon which it would raise its own cattle, and then it would be rood bve to the stock raiser, who didn't come to its terms, so that the issue is up to the stock men and they must meet it without dodging or surrender uncondition ally.and that means that they would be completely in the power of the merger magnates.

TT If States pass a bill directing the rresi dent, whenever in his judgment it may be necessary, to retaliate against any foreign government arbitrarily and unjustly discriminating against American goods or products when the sine is as wholly unjustifiable as the proposed German tariff bill now un der consideration in Germany, which, if passed, will exclude from that coun try twenty-five per cent, of all our meal exports. The alleged excuse is that our canned meats are diseased and dangerous to the health of the people of the Fatherland, which we all know is false in every particular. This is a case of protection vs. protection. This, country protects its products by a practically prohibi tive tariff against the -products of other countries which might come into competition with our products, and Germany is simply doing like wise, in. the interests of He agra rians and " others who ' tjsert that they have been hurt by American competition. They want American meats kept out of their market, just as our beneficiaries of the protective tariff want the products of Germany and. other countries with which they would ' have to compete kept out of this country. It is simply a case of protection carried to the extreme on both sides, and it is as proper, rea sonable and defensible on one side as on the other. They may in Ger many, as Mr. Springer asserts, give a fraudulent reason for drawing the line so -, tight against American 'meats, when ;they "declare ' that thev are unhealthfuL Aci but sat do our protected" manufacturers and others give fraudulent rea sons for insisting upon the pro tection they have when they could get along with a good deal less or xume at all, all of which serves as an . i - i i ii instructive ooject lesson snowing me f intense selfishness in the protective system, when tne object is to pro VUb m tow tug wiwn iu nut " . - , : ii r - ' many ana mace tne many pay so dearly to promote the prosperity of ; the few. . ;f : Having paid his ; respects to Ger '? many for tabooing American ? meats Hr.,: Springer indulged in some ; breezy, ? strenuous remarks on the tariff, etc, follows: ;, 44I4 K be- uBderstodd here and now that the America stockman proposes - not a supDllcanv mt the doors of the Federal Congress for any bonus or for it Dolicv which seeks lorty. acres r-es the vote beseeching politician that 4 the live stock interests must receive A .J .

But all the same their contention is another object lesson showing the intense selfish ness of this protective system when one protected inteiest runs afoul of another. FUSE COAL With the signing by the President of the bill passed by Congress put ting coal on the free list for twelve months that incident maybe consid ered closed for the present, but not permanently closed, for in our opin ion when the protectionists in Con gress, under the 'pressure of popular sentiment and necessity, made that concession for twelve months they furnished an argument for making it permanent. As the act expires by limitation, no further legislation will be necessary to put bituminous coal back on the dutiable list. Anthra cite will remain on the free Hst as Congress unanimously voted for that. Before the year limitation expires it may be taken for granted that a movement will be made to place bi tuminoua coal permanently on the free list, and what argument can be advanced to oppose it, provided Che twelve months exemption from tariff duty does not work disastrously to our home mines ? The allegation that free coal would prove ruinous to our mining interests was the argu ment in favor of tariff protection, but this allegation will be tested in the coming twelve months and the demonstration made whether there is any truth in it or not. Of course the mine operators could combine, pool their issues, cut down their output and claim that they could not compete with im ported coal, but they will hardly do this for most of the soft coal is mined in the interior where they have little to fear from imported coal on account of the long railroad hauls. But the advantages got free coal will be so fully shown that even if the mine operators were to combine it is doubtful if they could make a successful fight to prevent coal from remaining on the free list. " Oar opinion is that it is there to stay, and tbat it will be a good thing for the country not . only in pre venting recurrences of coal famines, and extortionate prices, but also in checking the too heavy drain on our coal supplies. As it is well to look ahead and preserve our timber, so is it the part of wisdom to preserve our coal supplies, which will be much more valuable in coming years than they are now. ' North Carolina is to be congratu lated on the efficient management of her benevolent institutions and the gratifying progress made ih the care and treatment of her afflicted wards; The recent report of the Board of Directors ' of the Morganton State Hospital,' with the . accompany ins report of Dr. F.

Dr. Murphy shows a zealous interest r in his work, which indi cates that it is with him a labor of love.

This seems to be accepted as true and hence the shipbuilding nations are turning out larger ships and more of them. Commenting upon this and show ing the progress made last year m ship building we clip the following from the Baltimore Sum The United Kingdombs. a 84 'tonsand M f!5 5 OM ?r I'"? Twltfr Germany's 28 of the first l of the second and SJoMbetoird. The United Bute is nMuiof her fleet of leviathans. hv- io, e vessels of over 10,000 tons. 3 of over 7,000 tons and 81 of over 5,000 tons. The British still lead in earn ing capacity and when the new Ou- carders are built, with a speed of 38 knots, they will deprive the Germans of the first place in speed; At present the Indication is that after a few years shall very few superlatively fast passenger steamships, but very many big cargo carriers after the model of the latest White Star vessel. An American company leads the world in tonnage, built, its five yards in the" last -year having turned out 483,197 tons, against 79,497 tons built by Harland & Wolff at their yard at Belfast 76,933 tons built by Clark & Co., at Belfast; 68,823 tons built by 8wan & Hunter, at Newcastle-on-Tyne; 6,S23 tons by Russell & Co., at Glasgow, and 63,039 tons by Arm strong, Wnitworth dt Co., at New castle on-Tyne. Harland & Wolff made a record for the world in huge vessels, having built In 1902 four ships of tonnage ranging from 12,231 to 20,984 tons. Ireland as a wbole produced 169,633 tons; Scotland, 667, 886 tons; England, 891,621 tons; Brit Uh Colonial yards, 24,700 tons; the United 8tatet, 814,894 tons; Germany, 272,350 tons; France, 189,931 tons, and Holland, 91,117 tons. The total British construction was 1,643,740 tons; tf all the rest of the world, 1,064,907 tons. These figures show that in spite of the pleas for subsidies on the pre tence that ships can't be built in this country as cheaply as in others, we ranked in tonnage built next to Great Britain (although far behind) and led every other nation. Great Britain is the world's ship builder, and turns out more than all the other nations combined. It is one of her great industries She builds ships and sells them, or builds to order, just as the U. S. Steel Com pany turns ont rails, or the Baldwin Locomotive Works turn out locomo Uvea. If the ship builders of this country were satisfied with as small profits as the British ship builders are they could take a good deal of this business away from British yards. According to the published ac counts the shooting of Editor Gon zales by Lieut. Gov. Tillman, was an : atrocious and cowardly ass anlt, simply an attempted assassination without palliating provocation or ex tenuating feature. It would have been as defensible if he had way laid his viotim in the dark or had crept upon him while he slept and murdered him. And that in chiv alrous South Carolina, and by a State officer sworn to maintain the law. A Philadelphia dispatch in noting the death of a 103 year-old negro woman says when she was born on a Maryland plantation in 1801, she was nameless, ueneraiiy speaking. people are nameless when they are born.

In May, 1902, six ewes, one buck and five kids were put in an acre of young woodland of a mixed growth, most of the trees three to six Inches In diameter. There was a quite thick growth of underbrush. The small un derbrush of birch, maple, haze, bush, has been cleaned up so that where there are no alders or ever greens the ground under the trees Is as clean as though it had been burned over.

NxW York, Jan. 16. The cotton market ' opened at an advsnce of two to four points and ruled fairly active, largely on- general . public - demand, while the more professional class of traders were disposed to takefprofits if long of cotton or to sell for short ac count on a belief that while the statis tical . position, remained one of re markable: strength it had . been over-discounted in the more than one cent advance which has occurr ed here since November 7 14th, when May cotton sold at 7 87 with the posi tion to-day reaching 8 90. , At the strongest interval to-day's ' market showed an advance of ten to six points after which there was a weaker period heder the heart sales to secure profits with the market finally ' steady at a net loss of one point to a net gain of one point. Total"- sales : were about 850,000 bales for the day. 8elllng fcr short account was arrested by strong week-end figures shown In this country every prepaid on receipt of price-. - f - " Baltimore, fid. and abroad, the Liverpool stocks being 281,000 bales Short of last year's, with the amount afloat 74,000 short of last year, while Superintendent King made the amount of cotton brought into sight for the week, and the amount for the season less than last year's, tbe weekly contrast being 308 632 bales, against 325.372 and for the season 7,501,118, against 7,520,906 Selling was also held - in cheek, by strong reports from the spot eottou markets of , the country , . tbe range showing an advance of from I-I60 to 3 16, on a demand from exporters and spinners, while reports reaching here indicated that Southern mills and New England mills were pretty well s ld ahead on goods while holding moder ate reserves of raw material. Io tbe afternoon, however, the disposition to secure profits on speculative accounts over-baiaoced all other conditions and the market closed rather weak.
