WINDOW GLASS AND TAX RlS . .. FORM. ... , Before the tariff, as slightly re- vised, had been in or Deration a; fortnight, and probably before one article of glass had been' affected by the change, the- . Window . Glass Workers Association of his country was in session expressing their great and manifold grievances. Here is a specimen of the, talk: T:. "The new tariff cut down the profits on window glass about ten per cent. , and man ufacturers have been doing business at a lnss all this vear. One million boxes of glass were imported last year, which is I nA.t AAA I. 4mnArto1 in 4 a similar period before. This shows that we are not able to make glass as cheaply as foreigners.' . . r;U Before they had been hnrt in the . least by the new tariff th.ey are crying out for help. Even with the great bounty given .them under the old tariff they lost money. Why then should they think of continuing a business thatjjannot prosper, even with the aid of a very high tax levied upon the masses of the people for the benefit of these . few unthrifty glass makers ? Let them go at some thing else. Every householder, every business man must have window glass. They are entitled to get it at the lowest possible rate. Yet, we find these workers groaning over the fact that the new tariff reduces the enormous tax on window glass ten per cent. " y-71;; Ky-'--V-V;; Incompetency and extravagance lie at the basis of; the failures of so many manufacturing enterprises. The Washington; Post says to the point: "It has come to be the custom of many manufacturers who, for want of capacity or by reason of mismanagement, do not succeed in business, to attribute their lack of prosperity to the legislation of Congress. The vicious system which ties the wheels of business to legislation, has taught too many business men to look to Congress in stead of their own efforts for continuous success." - ' ; : '..''",' . ;. . No industry" ought to be conlinued after a fair trial that is not self-sup-, porting. If the farmer cannot make a Hying by growing grain then . let him try tobacco, or cotton, or truckl ing, or grape growing, or something else. You do not find the farmers meeting in convention to ask the Congress to put a tax on this or that in order that they : may be able to, produce it with profit. If they can not grow. tobacco without a bounty . from the v Government, then they ought to raise corn and wheat. If they cannot prosper in making cot ton without Government help then if they are wise they will diversify or drop cotton. . . , : ; ;4 7j'7 The farmers ought to meet in con-' vention to memorialize the Congress to lift some of the grievous burdens that now press them down. They ought to hold meetings hi every town ship in the South and -ask; for relief from the high tax on machinery, cot ton ties, &c. If there was a general movement among the farmers and the laboring classes generally of the Union in favor of low taxes then low taxes would come. The farmers are always legislated against. They ought to combine for redress. .They' do not need bounties but they need relief from oppression. Only a few words are-necessary now in reply to the organ. We were under, no obligations to answer a pa per that would not answer one of twelve questions we propounded. But we did answer, and if there is & man in North Carolina with an "idea above an oyster" who did not under stand us, then we will subscribe to send him to a primary'-school.1 The organ is facetious after its style. Its efforts to be funny; reminds us of the awkward "gamb'ollings ot a Jumbo. It cannot see that it was insulting in its question. Obtuse, very! Suppose we were mean enough to ask gravely, and insist upon an answer, the follow ing: "Is it true, that the News-Observer will be the organ of the Mott Combination in 1884?" Would that not be insulting?- It would be ma lignant. We would be ashamed to ask such a question. And yet the Raleigh paper asks us, a question equally as insulting. -Stripped of all unnecessary, verbiage, its question was this: "Do you really mean . to desert the Democratic "party and - sustain the Mongrels in 1884 ?" It meant that or it meant nothing. It was an impudent question. . It was a direct insult offered to an old Demo cratic paper that hsTneer pal t 'red and never faltered, but Jiia been f -ffift-fulXo the Democratic party iWle midst of the faithless; 'unawed, uft- seduced, unterrified.".
