A lilt!' over one year ;iir. the I assumed control of the National (iovernnionl after a total or partial exclusion from power for over thirl y years. They found the la rill taxes Iiiirher than at any pre vious period in the history of tiie (iovcnunent. They found aTreas urv l liciency iinpendin where they had left a surplus. They found the free irold excess of near lv l 00,000,000 turned over hy lVesjdent Cleveland four yeaiv be fore vattercd in foiviirn lands. Tie y found the country on the; verire of a monetary panic owinp: to the operations of ;i Kepublican hiiih tariff law. They found on the :-tatule hook the skeleton of an Kleelioiis Force law which the Re-1 puo'icaiis had desperately endeav ored to lrer.rthen with Federal bayonets at the polls. We have not shunned the duty of criticising the administration and tin- Democrats in Congress wlwn the honor and the welfare of the country requires it. Iut in spite of blunders and delinquencies it is true and it deserves to he said lhat not in half a century before has the first year of a new Admin istration and a new Congress been s i rich in important public service as has the year which ended Sun day a week aro. The election law has been re pealed. With it disappeared the la-l vestige of centralized coercion, the fruit of war. Flections are hereafter free. The threat of "a bayonet behind every ballot" of the party in power doinr, as Speaker Reed said the Kepublican party intended to do, "its own registration, its own counting and its own certilication" is removed. This achievement alone is enough to have made the first year of the Democratic restoration memorable. A genuine tarilf reform bill has passed the House. The Wilson bill is the most seientiiic and just taritl measure that has passed either house of Congress in thirty years. If enacted into law it will free the irreat body of the people from needlessly burdensome taxes, it will relieve our manufacturers from a hindering handicap, it will en large the activities and increase the rewards of labor. It executes the mandates of the people. It fulfils the oft repeated pledge of the Deni ocratic party. There has been a promising start in pension reform. The greatest source of extravagance and fraud in the entire Federal system has been boldly and honestly attacked The Pension Appropriation bill reported to the House is nearly si.-,,ooo,ooo less than the amount appropriated for the current fiscal year. This is a record of which the Democratic party has a right to be proud, despite the shortcomings and vronr doings in other direc tions. As to the reverse side of the pic ture there is this to be said: Fvery mill that is closed was shut up under the operation of the McKin ley 50 per cent, tarilf. Every w orkingnian w ho is unemployed is idle under the law that was framed ostensibly to ''protect" him. Every dollar of increase in the public debt represents a dollar of the Kepubli can deficiency. Every lack in the Treasury is due to the Kepublican law which cut revenue by raising taxes. Every expedient to obtain gold to maintain the public credit is the necessary result of the net loss of gold to the country during the Republican Administration of over 1:22,000,000. Every defici ency, increasing payment from the public Treasury bears the sign man ual of a Kepublican President. That there are dangers ahead of the Democratic party none will de ny. I n t the record of its tirstyear in power challenges comparison with any similar period in the his tory of the country. Tin: PolIard-Irecnridge breach of promise suit, which is being 'aired"1 in Washington just now, is occupying considerable space of the daily press. No matter what the verdict will be, Congressman Kreckinrrtlge, of Kentucky, will be a dead politician after his present term expires. He will retire in disgrace. The wide-awake citizens of Mor jranton are anxious to entertain the Xorth Carolina Press Association this year. It is to be hoped that the Executive Committee will ac cept the invitation and choose the hitter part of May as the time for the next annual meeting of the As sociation. Anothkk batch of foreign ad vertising frauds have just been re- rted 1 j Editor Sherrill. Good ! Last Week in Trade Circles. Special Correspondence. New York, March 12, 18!L Business conditions during the last week have not greatly changed. The tendency to improvement has been a little more general, owing to the ap proach of spring, and evidence of progress in the preliminary work of tariff revision has given some encour agement to business men. The act ual gain in business from week to week, however, -is disappointingly small. The depletion of merchandise stocks is stimulating demand for some manufactures, anJ the indus trial output is steadily expanding; but the recovery of trade and indus try is within ver' conservative lim its, and can scarcely be expected to make rapid headway until all uncer tainty as to the action of Congress shall have been removed. Share peculation has been decidedly more active, and the average of values of railroad and industrial stocks is slightly higher than it was a week Money markets, however, continue very easy, and there is no percepti ble improvement in the. demand for commercial loans. Merchandise im ports continue small in comparison with those of last year the decrease last month having been approxi mately 37 per cent, but exports have continued large. The increase in exports" from Xew York alone in the first week of March was $2,500, 000, and in four weeks the gain over the shipments during the corres ponding period last year has been about 14 per cent. Failures are still decreasing in number, and out of a total of :'0S reported by K. G. Dun & Co. in the United States and Can ada during the last week not a sin gle one was of much importance. The cotton movement lias kept up better than had been expected, al though the port receipts have been largely at the expense of stocks pre viously held at interior towns, and shipments from the plantations have been comparatively light. Prices of actual cotton have declined and re covered 1-1G of a cent, and the spec ulative market shows little net change for the week. Bullish senti ment is of slow growtli in the face of the ample stocks and restricted bm--ing by domestic spinners. Northern mills to the close of last week had taken 203,000 bales less than during the previous crop year, and the con dition of the cotton goods trade does not encourage the hope that weekly comparisons will shortly become more favorable. The wool trade has continued moderately active, and there has been no important change in prices. Demand for dress goods has been good, and there has been an improved inquiry in preparation for fall wants by clothiers. Demand for iron and steel was for small lots. There has been no important j change in the wheat situation. The crop outlook is favorable, and farm ers are less reluctant to part with their stocks; but the -interior move ment is still running below that of the corresponding period last year, and visible stocks are gradually de creasing. The latter are still too large, however, in view of the mode rate export demand, to encourage bullish speculation. On the other hand, the low ruling prices, the pos sibility of accident to the growing crop, and the expectation that official figures will confirm trade estimates of unusually small stocks in farmers' hands, have tended to restrain short selling. Uncertainty about the an nual stock estimate has been an im portant cause of hesitancy in specu lative circles last week. The Government estimate of farm ers' holdings of wheat on March 1 last year was 133,000,000 bushels, but the subsequent distribution showed that this was much below the fact. The crops of the two pre vious years were underestimated at least 00,000,000 bushels, and very few authorities have been willing to accept the Government estimate of the production of 1803, which was less than 400.000,000 bushels. As suming that farmers' stocks a year ago were understated 55.000,000 bushels, and that the 1893 yield was 400,000,000 bushels, the Cincinnati Price Current has figured out a prob able stock in farmers' hands on March 1 this year of 105,000,000 bush els. There is general expectation that the official figures, which will be made public to-day, will recognize the errors of previous calculations and afford more reliable data on this subject than any that have hereto fore been available. Corn receipts in the West have continued liberal, and there has been a further increase in visible stocks; but a fair foreign demand, cuts in the freight rate, and the expectation of reduced offerings in the interior, have enabled holders to secure ad vances of I to i of a cent per bushel in prices. Chicago prices of provis ions have declined 32'. cents per bar rel on pork and 17 cents per hund red pounds on lard and short ribs, owing to the absence of speculative support, comparatively liberal re ceipts of hogs at packing centres and lower prices in Western markets.

The slogan in the coming campaign for the Democrats of North Carolina, and indeed for all true sons of the Old North State, should be ';Uo! for Carolina." However much they may differ and disagree in Federal affairs, yet all should unite together in re taining Democtutic supremacy in our State government, against which no man can utter one word of de served censure. No intelligent and unprejudiced person will deny that! Democratic rule in North Carolina has been just, economical and satis factory. Then why change or jeop ardize it? We are pleased to note that the lead ing dailies of this State are urging our people to stand together for a continuance of good government in North Carolina, even if they differ as to Federal affairs. Our local gov ernment State, county and munici pal is closest and nearest to the people, and is that in which they naturally feel the deepest interest. Let us then ' by all means retain and preserve mat government m u:e hands of that party which for so many years has administered it so acceptablj'. a 1 Religious War In Memphis. The war between Catholics and Protestants has reached Memphis. The Protestant Pastors' Association came out in a lengthy card Tuesday vigorously attacking the Catholic Church and defending the American Protective Association. The Catholics are charged with be ing engaged in a conspiracy to con trol every office in the country from President down to constable in the interest of the Pope, whom they characterize as the arch enemy of American institutions. The Protest ant pastors announce that they will wage a relentless war on Catholics in future, and no man will be sup ported for office at the coming elec tions who is a believer in the Catho lic religion. The card is the sensa tion of the hour in Memphis. - - K In Bethel, Pitt county, Tuesday. Belle, the ten-year-old daughter of J. U.
