TlETOBA CCO WAREHOUSE.
Fayettevillefs Tobacco Warehouse
was opened last year under, unfayora
oie auspices, and yet the sales for the
season were very satisfactory. As
much as "twenty or twenty-five thous
and pounds of the weed were sold on
this market at an average price of
about seven cents a pound. This is,
we think, a good record for the first
year, as those who raised the tobacco
were (green hand-', and entirely un
skilled m the art of raising a nne
quality of this valuable weed. Expe
rience is a good teacher, however, and
we believe this year's crop will make
a better showing inljuality and prices.
The tobacco" crop that was mar
keted in Fa yetteville distributed about
2,000 amolng our merchants. Shall

this season? What are we doing to
regain the sixty or seventy thousands
of dollars of trade that the Short Cut
turned from Fayette ville 'into other
channels? Is it beet to sit quietly
and see Jonesboro and Kaleigh and
and other tobacco markets sell the
tobacco that should and would be
sold here if a market is provided for
it. Unless we at once "to the
breach " the tobacco trade that very
naturally seeks a market here will be
turned ;to other places.
Letters have been written by several
patrons of lour market, to citizens in
terested in tobacco, asking if the ware
house is to bo opened this season,
saying they wished to sell here again.
This proves tliat the planters who sold
their tobacco here last year are willing
and anxious to continue selling on the
Fayetteville market The reputation
made last year by our warehouse was
one that commended it to the tobacco
planters, however limited that repu
tation may have been, and causes th-j
farmers to prefer selling on this mar
ket again. . ' 1 1
Decided steps should be taken to
hold the tobacco trade , that seeks a
market here, and gain just as much
more as possible. Our merchants can
and will hold out greater inducements
in the way of low prices, we believe,
than any other tobacco market in this
State; and our buyers can certainly
give as highpriees for tobacco as any
market. With these advantages
which none will dispute the future
of Fayetteville as a first-class tobacco
market is assured. All that is. neces
sary to accomplish this object is for
the moneyed men of our place to put
their shoulder to the wheel and make
a determined effort to succeed, over
coming all the obstacles that may
arise. Every business in its infancy
has some discouraging features, but
it seems to us that the few obstacles
in the wily of a successful tobacco
market in Fayetteville rafT be , easily
surmounted. A litlertime and money
judiciously spenjtvill be but sowing
the seeds fopan enterprise that must
in the near future redound to the
credit of Fayetteville and become a
source of profit to its owners.

THE TOBACCO FACTORY.
We are pleased to "chronicle the suc
cess of this industry, which although
in its infancy, shows signs of being
! a pretty health v babv. Mr, Allen
reports that sales are fair, that he is
selling all he anticipated. The great
bulk of his sales, we regret to say, are
made outside of Fayetteville. The
merchants have bought, as a rule,
very little of the tobacco manufactur
ed by him. However, Mr. Ailen is
uot at all disheartened by this apathy
onthspart of Fayetteville's business
men; . He has gone quietly "ahead and
worked up a valuable tracfc with the
country merchants who buy their sup
plies here. Th is class has turned quite
all its trade into Mr. Allen's hands,
beinjr attracted bv the superior goods
! offered for the money.
.Now in order to obtain his share of
the retail trade ho proposes, in a short
while, to put up tobacco in packages
to suit the retail purchaser and sell
at only such a slight profit over
wholesale prices as will enable him to
pay for the extra cost in putting up
the goods in small packages. , This
means a direct saving to the consum
er of nearly or quite one-half the
amount he expends for the weed;
We feel assured the tobacco chewenj
will appreciate this, and show their
estimation of the value of this advan
tage' by using Allen's tobaccos.

labor. The tobacco is all -raised m
this section, the hands employed in
making it live here, and purchase
their supplies here, consequently
it is purely a home enterprise; one
that very naturally expects and looks
for the patronage of all citizens of
Fayetteville who wish to see" the
towu grow and prosper.
So far as we are individually con
cerned we hail with delight any en
terprise calculated to retain the dol
lars at home. No place can prosper
without making more than it spends
and the sooner fayetteville as whole,
learns this lesson, just'so much quick
er will our march to a higher de
gree of prosperity commence.
We bespeak for Mr. Allen the
patronage of the public. He asks no
fa voir. If he cannot give you unde
niable advantages in buying his goods
he neither asks nor expects your
trade. But it does seem to usthat
we have spent enough money to
build up Richmond, l)an ville, Wine
ton and other tobacco markets, and
that we should now commence to
build upourown place, by patron zr
ing toour fullest extent any and every
home enterprise, even if we have to
pay a little more for the article man
ufactured atjiome.
The monopoly press is still vehe
ment in. its appeals to workingmen to
starve out their leaders and put tal
low on the ribs of the bloated specu
lators. The average workingman no
longer takes any stock in this balder
dash. If the monopolistic editor is
worth 810,000 or $20,000 a year to
the, American people, 6uch a man as
Powderly is worth anywhere from
$5Q0,000 to $1,000,000. The amount
stolen from labor every day by mo
nopoly amounts to more than labor
pays into all its organisations annually.

INCOME TAX.
Is it not obviously unequal, and
therefore unjust, for a man who en
joys n income of $1,Q00 a week to
pay no more taxes than a man who
earns but &10 a week, 'or for a man
with au income of $i,000 a day to
pay no more than the .man who re
ceives only $10 a day. j Yet this para
dox in taxation and parody on justice
is possible under our present system.
Mr. George talks of taking land value
only. Why should other values -be
exempt?. What justice is there in
taxing potato pitches Imd exempting
palaces? Is there a rule of taxation
containing more justice and involvipg
less hardship than one .which gradu
ates the tax according .to the protec
tion required and; received from socie
ty and the actual j ability of the person
to pay? j ,
