Washington', Oct. 4 Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, presented the report of the majority of the Fi nance committee at a late hour this afternoon. Senator Harris for him self, Senator Vance and Senator Vor hees made the minority report and the views of Senator Beck "being of the minority, were given sepa arately. Senator McPherson con curred in the minority except that he desired modifications of the du- tiabl Tlfb majority report continues 89 page with tables ; Mr. Beck's wiews aboiaft GO pages. The last two have to be estimated, as they are printed in long, galleys not having been is sued as yet in pamphlet form. The - minority report, prepared largely by Senator Vance, is worthy of study. .The following is the po sition relating to cotton ties: ''Cotton ties also receive their careful consideration. It is not enough that the most formidable and insolent trust which ever laid its hand upon the throat of honest la bor, threatening every class, from the poor colored cotton-picker whose few pounds of crop he coilld not get to market for lack of metms to wrap it, to the merchants and capitalist who had advanced the necessaries of life to sustain that labor through the season. To these come the proposed "vision, not with helping hand, but tier burdens, and the cotton ties which their own friends had reduced to .)" per cent, in the tariff of 1883 (onuot the bright oases in a desert of iniquity) they omit by name, but include in a new classification, so that instead of 35 per cent, it must pay according to the valuation of 4. i W H I l , 1 1 ovpr u ner from., nnrinor nearly a quarter million dollars tax on the imported ties alone, all of which is a loss to the cotton produ- cer. ii,ven witn tnis tney are not content, but still further tax the struggling agriculturalist in this schedule by raising the duties on trace cnains, and other kinds less than three-eights of an inch thick, from 2 2 cents, which is eqivalcnt to 14.3 per cent., to o cents per pound, rquivalent to a rate oi oo oper cent Can ingenuity go further ? 1 hat taggers iron should be raised Irom oU per cent, to Go per cent.; that table cutlery for the poor should be raised by specific rates added to ad valorem ; that knives for the poor should be heavier taxed and made cheaper for the rich ; that breach- loading shot guns should be made cheaper for the $200 grade and dear er tor the fclo grade by making each pay $10 and 25 per cent, ad valorem : all these and more are no longer startling, and prepare the mind for a thousand -other inconsistencies and discriminations hidden by new and obscure classifications that only time ana patient investigation will reveal "Bulk salt, which is now dutiable at nearly 80 per cent., is continued in the substitute at the same rate Salt is a product ofthe sea and earth, which nature's God bestowed upon man for nis own use. So free is it in nature's plan that a little sea-wa ter exposed to the sun-heat and the air, nature s own factory, and the re siduum is salt. Wherever found we emplojT the great forces of steam and electricity instead of manual labor in preparing it for use. Why a tax should be imposed on an article o such prime necessity and universa use is not shown. The existing law ;gives free salt to the fishery interests of New England and taxes salt to the farmer and dairyman. The House bill makes salt tree oi tax to all. The present tariff is the nursing mother oi trusts. It is the wall be hind which these combinations are formed, by which the people are plundered. Tariffs' keep out the for eign competition and the combina tion suppresses the domestic, and the whole people are at their mercy and must pay whatever is demanded. Language is inadequate to describe the iniquity of these corporations against the rights of the people, or to depict their disastrous effects u pon the general welfare. As the tariffs, which render trusts possible, are es tablished and maintained at the special instance of those who form j them, it would seem but simple jus-' Uice as well as good policy to tear I down as much as. possible of their covert and refuse, to longer aid them in wrong-doing. ; They are no- "pri vate affairs," as has been asserted, but public evils of the gravest char acter, affecting the price of even ar ticle which contributes to 'the com fort and support of the people. The provisions of; the substitute favor them greatly, and will serve-to en courage their formation in still other tranches of manufacture; Many ot hese belonging to trusts appeared before the Finance Committee, clam- erous for such legislation as would promote their interests. They are all opposed to the House bill, which should commend it to all .who con demn their methods. It is bad enoujrh to permit those who are most interested mauufacturers to appear before our committees and suggest the legislation they wish, but surely we should not listen to he trusts and aid them to rob with both hands. Take the agriciiltrist, for example, md note the fearful decline in his re- urns in a half dozen years. In 188G nearly 18,500.000 acres more land was cultivated and planted in cereal crops man in losi ana move man three-fourths of a billion more bushels the! telegrams.

Not an intelligent plan ter but condemns their assumption a.nd dissents from their views. The Wfivj editor had better have confined his opinion on this ques tion to the "live lints," as he com nienccd, instead of blundering through 10") lines of space in the crudest and most inconsistent essay ever "yet published on the subject.

Everything declines save the taxes, aiuL these farmers, who must send heir surplus abroad to tind a market, bund, on bringing the reduced re- urns of their crops home, that not withstanding they were enabled to my foreign products slightly cheaper han belore. that their taxes had been increased in that period, and hat theywere compelled in 188G to ay more than $2.30 customs dues on each $100 worth imported, more than hey did for like importations m 1881; and to-day those taxes arc nearly $4 nore per $100 worth than in 1881. And when, in view of the above cited facts of a decline of about 33 per cent, in the value of his crops in 886 below the vales in 1881, he asks hat for to-morrow his taxes be made $3 less per $100 than in that same year loot, he is met with the cry oi ree trader, and that is considered argument enough. Speaker Carlisle and Mr. Turner, of the Ways and Means Committee, consulted with many of their Dem ocratic colleagues in the House and with the Democratic Senators oi the Finance Committee to-day. They virtually agreed on a resolution to come from the House providing for the adjournment ot Congress on the 10th instant. Just then Mr. Breck- enridge, of Arkansas, arrived m the city and set to work to break up the adjournment programme, and he succeeded. This gentleman told me late to-day that there was no pres ent prospect of adjournment. The question is certainly laid oyer indefinitely. mentof counsel bekan, Walter B Henry leading off in quite a lengthy way, but with marked ability. The damage to the cotton crop, taking the State through, may be safely estimated as being 20 percent, of the crop as it stood September 1st. That means a loss of some 7-", 0O bales. The trost has hurt the cotton quite sharply; in not a few localities. An old wooden building in rear of the Supreme Court room isbting demolished to make way for some handsome cottages w hich Dr. W. J. -Hawkins will build. The old struc ture has a war history. It was used as a storehouse ; by the commissary department and as headquarters for the provost guard. Chief clerk Batchelor, of the dc partment of State, is sending out the blank returns of election, with in structions, to each county. It re quires a mass of blanks for this and great care is necessary.. The Governor's guard will go up to Durham next Thursday. It is a busy season and the company will not be very strong in numbers. The men look forward to the trip with much anticipated pleasure, nor will thev be disappointed. hi some twenty days the company will go to the Virginia Exposition. It will al so parade at the State fair week after next. A well known lawyer speaking last night of the, appeal of White and Cross to the . Supreme court, which comes on to be heard week after next, said he did not see how that court could take the view that thei State courts had no jurisdiction of such a case. It would be an ab solute denial of any States rights. Ho does not believe that the appeal w i i 1 a m o u n t to any thing- Judge Fowle and Col. Davidson were here yesterday, having a day's rest. Col. Davidson said that the attendance at their speaking places was large and that they were well received. Both are pleased at the interest shcw;ii and both enjoy their work. .; Chairman Whitaker is conducting a very active .campaign on remarka bly little money.1: He ought to have abundant pecuniary aid, but gets very little. Some gentlemen have been quite liberal, as the word goes in; North Carolina. At least $10, 000 is necessary to run a campaign properly. Men could then be paid to do a thing quickly and well, and it woulbe pone., 1 The cotton receipts will be very heavy to-day and Saturday. Another marriage is on the list for next week.

He has been squib bing for some time, impatient for the fray, and we merely shell the woods around him this time he may ex pect a broadside it he continues to disparage Eastern types. We advise him to study geology and "How Plants Grow,'" before he atrain attempts to describe soils and their adaptation to particular typo of tobacco. lie makes the too common mistake that is made by all who charge de terioration instead of grow ing disuse on our Eastern tillers, in confounding "loss, of -popularity" in line cured fillers and their growing disuse, in consequence of a change iir popular taste for milder and sweeter chew. The line cured tiller i.- rcfcus parbits. as -rood as ever, but constanllv dc creasing in consumption, and con stantly less in demand. They were always inferior to the old sun and air dried tillers which they never ap proached in quality. The tempt at io.i to make as much yellow goods as possible has resulted in spoiling much good tiller stock by indiscriminate curing curing ail the crop by Hues instead of selections tor bnghts, and what was uhsuited therefor,. by sun and air, at least partially at first, finally dried thoroughly bv Hues. We therefore assert with a con fidence based upon a long experience, that-the '"virgin soil theory" is the merest Iju'rit; that improper modes helps greatly to' spoil much of our working types ; that the soils of Vir ginia and North Carolina, where right practices are followed, are capa ble as they ever were of producing the best grades ; and there has been no deterioration in tipr. or soils. In conclusion we would be doing injustice to our convictions did we not commend the tobacco editor of the M7 for his valuable marke: re ports, for which he has shown quali fications which so eminently fit him for such work. But we cannot con sent to permit his erroneous views on the eastern filler controversy to go unchallenged. Old Toijacco Planter. MILITARY ' DAY AT THE or ham TOBACCO DKPART3I ENT. News from the Capital. Special Correspondence to The Plant. Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 5, '88. The reports for October which the Department of Agriculture is re ceiving from its hundreds of corre- pondents are in the main, really de- pressing. Between wet weather, drought and early and severe frosts', the crops have caught it right and left. . The cross and White trial was much nioreinteresting yesterday. Day before yesterday Charles II. Belvin, cashier ofthe National Bank of Ral eigh, had testified that White had, just beiore the close ot banking hours on that eventful Saturday night when Cross and White rled, obtained from him $5,000. And F. II. Busbce had testified that this same package of bills, (or rather ten packages of $500 each, with the bands used by the National Bank of Raleigh, endorsing each) was touiid on the person of one of the boodlers. There was also new evidence that White and Cross had obtained $10,000 from banks at Rich mond and Norfolk. . Yesterday Mr. Busbee testified that on the person of one ofthe boodlers was found a package of unsigned notes of their bank, $550 in all, which only needed their signatures to make them current national bank notes. . Mr. Robinson, the telegraph man ager here, produces the telegrams asking the bank cashiers at Norfolk and Kicnmona to sendtne money. He testified that though the tele grams were written by Cross, they purported to bear White's signature. Mri Robinson testified further that in the Yarboro last July, during the first trial, White asked him about ixiiositioii THURSDAY, OCTOBER U ! Alex. Walker, Editor. Durham, N. C, Oct. 5,1888.
