EXPRESS THUR8DAY, HAY THE __ IMMIGRATION EXPOSITION. Exposition to i in Raleigh this fall es to be a grand thing not only for Raleigh and North Caro lina but for the whole South. Mr. Jno. T. Patrick says he has secured free transporation of all Northern newspaper men who .shall attend. These newspaper men will not only wiite the Exposition but will give 1 ns a “write up” of the whole South. ; He further says that he will hare a crowd There or it will be his funeral. H* has already Wa—advertising, employing IS clerks, but shortly he will employ 50 clerks and put out $10,000 worth of lithograph. This will be the great opportuni ty for the South, and each State of the South and each county to ad vertise so ae to induce the kind of immigration to develop the natural resources. We are not of the num ber who think indiscriminate immi gration oar surest guarantee of progress and wealth. The filth and oCseourings of creation that often migrate from one State to another simply that they may take in a country where they ere not known only impoverish the country, in crease the police force and call f.»r greater supplies at the penitentiary. We need men who have capital upon which they wish to realize a reason able profit They are needed in every section of our wide Old North State. Moore county needs such, and we hope the proper steps wi.l be taken to hare her representation creditable. The brownstone alone can open up an immense field for capital. There is money in this, we hare nodoubt but some capital is required to successfully work it Moore county brownstone has been pronounced by experts equal to the best both as to beauty and service. It is here in almost unlimited quan tity; it is near the surface, being thus easy of access and it works readily when first exposed; it dresses np fine making a beautiful house; it is durable, in this, perhaps exceeded by none. The shipping facilities are good and capital owned by men of ener gy and push are what it needs. Therefore, we need to exhibit all the resources we have. FREE TRADE MAKES THINGS TOO CLEAR FOR THE PEOPLE. The Mecklenburg Times makes this point against free trade: one of the igainst free direct taxa jpport. Let “It is generally admitted that it aired one billion dollars to pay expenses of the national govern ment daring the past two years. If this sum had been collected by di sct taxation according to the as eased value of property the people if North Carolina woald bare had to pay a fraction over ten million dollar ' “ " liars in addition to the State taxes rhich amounted to $1,382,975.57. a older to support the State and lational governments by direct tax ition, the taxes of North Carolina .rould have to amount annually to $5,000,000, and to raise this sum the tax rate would have to be about five times greater than it is now." J This is considered one strongest arguments agair trade or, rather agaius tnr ...ii-ernmental suppo yae it. It assumes that ...... wr-r-r* have not sense enongh to know what expenses are proper for m*intenance of the dignity and •m our country, and therefore ■»» blinded by paying ta such a shape that slice how much it w. This L> an insult to the iutelligence of the voting power which has over 100 years experience in selecting men to make laws and in paying taxes—indirect it is true, but taxes I the same—to support the iu ibents of the offices thus created. s, the people would not pay i much tax if they knew it- If i is the only or the strongest ob i to free trade then we are not 1st it. Public extravagance, 1 Cleveland, is our great andweneed some check We ate 'hot for free r, but for an equitable i of the tariff for raising to the protective is not so mueh that -.' ...==== it is indirect as that it is iniqaitons and unjust because unequal. The indirect taxation system is governed by consumption instead of income, and worse than this the fact that higher rates are upon the poor man's necessities than upon the rich man’s luxuries and this injustice increases because the benefit thus conferred by such a system enrich the protect- j ed class so that their gains can be used to the furtherance of such a ne farious business. If North Carolina paid 5 times rs much tax as now some advantages to the poor man would be first, that this amount would be cut down even if it required a revolution to do it, and second that the property of the State would pay it instead of the consumer and this to the credit of the poor man because the same tax is paid now though we do not see it 2-- - PUBLIC EXTRAVAGANCE—EX-PRES I DENT CLEVELAND GIVES SOME PATRIOTIC AMO TIMELY SUGGES TIONS. Ex-President Cleveland recently made a speech before the Cleveland Democracy of Buffalo, N. Y_, which is so statesmanlike, so patriotic, so foil of warning as to the perils of our country that we know not how to better describe it than to say, “It is characteristic of Mr. Cleveland.” Rather than any synopsis of it we will give portions of it ss found in the Raleigh Xetcs and Observer: x believe the most threatening figure which' to-day stands in the way of the safety of our govern ment and the happiness of our peo ple, is reckless and wicked e> trara gance in onr public expenditures. It is the most fatal of all the dead ly brood bom of govern mental per version. It hides beneath its wings the betrayal of the people s trust and holds powerless in its fascinat ing glance the people's will and conscience. -It brazenly exhibits to day a Billion Dollar Congress. But lately, a large surplus remained in the people’s public treasury after meeting all expenditures, then by no means economical. This condi tion was presented to the American people as positive proof that their burden of taxation was unjust be cause unnecessary; and yet while the popular protest is still heard, the harpy of Public Extravagance devours the surplus and impudently calls upon its staggering victims to bring still larger supplies within the reach of its insatiate appetite. A few short years ago a pension roll amounting to fifty-three millions of dollars was willingly maintained by onr patriotic eitizens. To-day Pub lic Extravagance decrees that three times that sum shall be drawn from the poopte, upon the pretext that its expenditure represents the popular love of the soldier. Not many vears ago a River and Harbor bill appro priating eleven millions of dollars gave rise to a load popular protest. Now, Public Extravagance com mands an appropriation of twenty two millions for the same purposes, and the people are silent. To-day, millions are paid to barefaced sub sidy; and this is approved or con doned at the behest of Public Ex travagance, and thus a new marau der is turned loose, which in com pany with its vicious tariff partner, bears pilfered benefit to the house holds of favored selfish interests.” He then goes into some enumer ation of the evils resulting directly and indirectly from public extrava gance. We have not space for all hut copy a few paragraphs from the same paper: w government is so ordained that its life blood flows from the virtue and patriotism of onr people, and its health and strength depend* upon the integrity and faithfulness of their public servants. If these are destroyed, our government if it endures, will endure only in name, failing to bless those for whom it was created and failing in its mis sion as an example to mankind. Public Exravagancein its relation to inequitable tariff laws, not only lays an unjust tribute upon the peo ple, but is responsible for unfair ad vantages bestowed upon special and favored interests as the price of partisan support. Thus the exer cise of the popular will for the bene fit of the country at large is replaced by sordid selfish motives directed to pereonal advantage, while the en couragement of such motives in pub lic place for party ends, deadens the official conscience. Public Extravagance directly dii^ tributes gifts and gratuities among the people, whose toleration of waste is thus secured or whose past services are thus compensated, or who are thus bribed to future party support. This makes the continu snce of partisan power a stronger motive among publie servants than the faithful discharge of the people’s trust, and sows the seeds of conta gious corruption in the body politic. But to my mind, the saddest and most frightful result of Public Ex sravagaiice is seen ip tbs readiness >f tbs. masses of our people, who are lot dishonest but only heedless, to lecnstom themselves to that derelic tion in'public place which it involves. Evidence is tfins furnished that our :ountrymen are in danger of losing he scrupulous insistence upon the iaitbful discharge of doty on the part of their servants, the regard for economy and frugality which be longs to sturdy Americanism, the independence which reliee upon per sonal endeavor, and the love of an honest and well regulated govern ment, all of which He at the foun dation of onr free institutions.” We shall not attempt any com ment on language so plain and so exhaustive of hie subject because the effect could only be to weuken what he has so ably said. Neither can we call attention to particular portions as important for every word is fraught with momentous impor tance to American citizenship. So take his words, read them again and again till they are part of yonr thoughts, look around you and make the application, then govern yonr self, according to yonr own judg ments_ STATE NEWS. Mrs. Betsy Caddell died at the home of her son, Mr. Prestty Cad dell, near here, last Monday, at the advanced age of 94.—Carthage Blade.

The Farmers' Alliance is to hold two great mass meetings in North Carolina before long; one at Golds boro and the other at Charlotte. Senator Feffer, of Kansas, and “rock less” Jerry Simpson, of Nebraska, will be among the prominent men present, so says Col. Polk. An old negro woman at Dalton, Ga^ pushed her son forward to shake hands with the President; but the tatter reached clear over him and shook hands with a white man. Then the old woman said, “Come on home, John; 'taint no use. Har rison may be a 'publican, but he ain t got no mo' use fer a nigger den a white man has. Come 'long home, en let him go to de debbil— fo’ dat’s jes’ whar he’s er gwjneH— Greensboro Patriot.

Complaints and inquires from every direction show tliat other places fared as badly as did Wades boro.—Wades boro Messenger-Intelligencer. Charlotte iaplunged into an “em barrassment of riches.” Just, over with its salute to North Carolina through the medium of hundreds of Concordant melodious voices, it now clear-starches and irons its “best bib and tucker” for the 20lh of May Celebration; and, to crown all, about the same time it is to have Sam Jones or Bill Fife, or both. It is pertinent now to inquire whether Charlotte “wants the earth,” and we would ask the question if we were not afraid Of being told that it is none of our business what it wants.—Fayetteville Observer. l/barlps Pratt, millionaire, and manufacturer of “Pratt’s Astral Oil,” which had so strong a hold on pop ular faror years ago, died suddenly of apoplexy at his residence in New York city the other day. No man’s death ealls for honeyed memorials and high-flown eulogy simply be cause he left millions money behind him; bat it does call for the tribute of uncovered head and a genuine tear when, ay is the case of Cooper and Pratt, the departed regarded himself as the steward of Providence in the distribution of his wealth, and utilized every dollar for the in crease of the happiness or the amel ioration of the woes of mankind.— Fayetteville Observer. Mrs. P. R. Hines, whose maiden name Was Cobb, is just in receipt of a tetter from Germany, containing the pleasing intelligence that bee great grand father left an estate valued at *60,000,000, and that she is one of fourteen heirs. This would give Mrs. Hines eiver $4,000,000 of this estate. The family is now striving to find the other thirteen heirs, mi we understand there will be little difficulty in doing so as their names are given- Mrs. Hines lives in this vicinity, and her husband has charge of the Ben bow dairy farm. She is a worthy lady and not alto getber without means; but to step from a dairy-maid to the position (5 a millionairess, would be a happy tom in fortune’s wheel not in the life pf many Nortb-Carolimans.— Greensboro Patriot.

Ckmthmt* Record. •* The knitting mill recently erected at this place, is now in foil opera tion. There was a delay about starting because of the difficulty in getting experienced operatives.

Southern Enterprises. The Manufacturere' Record at May 1<S «ays: '", ’ Another important more has been made in the iron interests of the South in the organization of a com pany to bo}ld a $1,000,000 steel plant near Birmingham, Ala. The success of this undertaking, which is Li the hands of some of the lead ing iron men. of the South, will prove of great value to this entire section, as it is of the utmost im portance that the South should push its steel-making interests as it has its iron. The general industrial ad vancement'of the South continues without abatement. Among the enterprises reported in this week’s issue of the Man ufaciHrtrt’ Record, in addition to the million-dollar steel company for Alabama, ar* the intended establishment of large car wheel works in Tennessee; .munici pal improvements in Asheville, N. C., to cost $500,000, and in Salem, N. C., to cost $50,000; two glass works in Central City, W.
