WILMINGTON, N. C TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 1897. SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC PRO TECTIONISTS. ! Amoflg democrats there la a small class not 10 per cent." of the whoie In the south who are protectionists and ought to be in the republican party. The southern commercial -qreans are high protectionists and greatly misrep resent public sentiment in so. far as (the true democracy axe concerned. Men who manufacture in the south are pt to be like the men who manufacture in ttu rirth to lean towards a robber tariff tax as they think it would ben efit them in their pockets. The prln ciple of Injustice, of inequality, 6t class legislation is lost sight of in their greea. There are In North Carolina intelligent and fair minded men who are engaged in manufacturing who do not hold to the Rob Roy doctrine of "taking all - who can" and all that Is possible. There is talk of southern democratic farmers , going in for a tariff for their own pro- tection because other interests are pro- .- tected. That is to extend the doctrine or-nh and to widen the sweep of the swathe of injustice and wrong. It is to do evil to the country that good may come to them. It Is based on the law of retaliation. The manufacturers outrage and oppress us with great taxes : laid for their particular benefit, and we ' will outrage and oppress othe- classes that we too may reap wniere we nave riot sown. A bad policy and , worse morals. . . I The right way, the honest way, the safe way 'is for all oppressed classes of ; all parties to unite against a robber V principle of taxation and down the manufacturing nabobs who favor the principle of taxing, others that they may prosper and grow richer still. We remember that when the crank Blair, of New England, was in jthe sen ate and spent his time in trying to force upon the country the bill named after, him, requiring the government to educate all the people that some people calling themselves democrats in the south took the ground that it was right : to accept all that could be got out of ' the federal government that the north Tin i (1 o finat deal more tax than the south because of its superior wealth and that It was right and proper to get from It some of the money bank that had been wrested from the south in war taxes. It was purely of .retalia tion and avariciousness. all. right, all moral aspects being ordered to the rear. "We fought that Blair bill from' first to last. It Was wrong In principle and without constitutional sanction! And so it is with a protective tariff. The congress has no constitutional right to lew a dime of such a tax. It is wrong in morals, vicious and unequal in principle, and without sanction of law. A very able republican supreme court decided that It was "robbery" to levy a protective tariff of any kind. That decision has not been superseded or repealed, but stands" today. It is Hard to understand how a man can be just, humane, even honest" who would sustain or! demand a law for his own rersonal enrichment by heaping a bur den upon othersIt is only another in !' stance of unholy' greed an exhibition of a desire to grow rich at the ex piense of all the other people. It is a system of deliberate "robbery ' made ; possible by the congress that, has Ig nored all principle of , moral right. It is an outrage upon the burden bearers and bread-winners. The new congress, soon to meet in extra session, i3 to re port sucTtsan unrighteous, oppressive, infamous tariff law. The president, be longing to a Christian denomination is so perverted in his political views, with such a twist of moral obliquity, that he is very hot for enforcement In tax ation of the fine old robber principle of Rob Roy and Dick Turpln for 'whom, "The good old rule Suffieeth them, the simple plan. That they should take who have the power, ' I Tnd they should keep who can." HOMJJ FOLKS. .We read : with, pleasure that Drs. - Murphy and Taylor - would not yield their offices without an appeal for sal--ary to the courts. The revolutionary, arbitrary and wild cat thing, called legislature by Couretsy, has ik rignt to supersedeiofflcials elected for a given time until the .term expires. It la to be hoped the courts will be found pure' enough to do right. ..'".' In our "brief reference to the life of Rev. Dr. Deems ten days -ago we omitted unintentionally r to mention that T. J. Gattis & Son, of Durham, are the state agents and have jexclu- sive control of this territory. We have found the biography of extraordinary interest and nearly completed its read ing at two sittings. We will refer to it at more length, next Sunday. (p. V.) We make now the above addition as the omission has been called to our at tention by Rev. T. J. Qa'ttis. Bishop Porter and Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke praise the work highly. j " 'In the examination of President "Duke, of the great tobacco trust, (a ; native "Tar Heel") before the Uexmv committee In New York, some tort night or more ago, It 'brought oui some fawts of public interest; It was jstjted by him 'that the trust was capitalized at $29,855,000. The following questions and answers tell a nice tale: "How much of the stock Aid! your company receive?", asked Chairman liexow. "Wo received $7,497,000 said Mr, Duke. . 'So you received $6,000,000 for good wfll, such as patents and trade marks?" - "Yes, sir." ' "How much did Allen & Ginter re ceive?" - i v "The same as the Duke .Company $7,497,000." ,; "How much stock was Issued for the live assets of the various companies?" "About $5,000,000 worth of stocks." . "And how much for -the good will, such as trade maTks, patents, et)c.?'v "About $19,990,000." i - The legislature hjas not increased ex, penditures as reported. It did not ex ceed the Fred Dou rlass concern of two years ago. So the "relations" between Russell and Prittnard are "strained." Nothing new foi: . Russell 'to (have "trained' relations.

Capitalists have taken It In hand, and ft will toer made in ail par ticulars ia modern- canal, . up-to-d'ate, The widlth. and depth will be much in creased. The old tow-pa'th method will be displaced. A. syndicate was formed In .Baltimore to 1895, anVi $1,200,000 bonds -have 'been Issued. They were, taken In that city, Ptanaderpbia and Baltimore. We learn that "by- the terms of the corporaJtion charter the company J is empowered not only to construct and (maintain a ship canal, but to use or seW the : water of Dake Drummond and the tributary creeks for any purpose, so that Its legal status as a purveyor of water or water power is firmly secured. - - t f In March, 1896, Jthe work of t con Stuctlon was placed in the hands of a firm of contractors In Philadelphia. The canal begins six miles from Norfolk, Va., at Deep creek. It runs to Elizabeth City, N. C. a distance of forty miles. The old canal was thirty two feet wfde, with, four feet depth of Water. The proposed Improvements will make It practically a. new canal. The 1 old hlald five locks, end barges 100 feet long and sixteen,-feet wide, drawling three feet of water could pass. An ac count jbefore us, In- the Tradesman, says; "The prism Is being enlarged" to a width of forty feet In the , bottom and sixty feet ait the surface, with minimum water depth of ten feet. Two enlarged and improved locks one at either end of the canal will take the place of the five locks of the old water. way. Each. of the new locks Is to be 250 feet long, forty feet wide, with ten feet of Water above the miter sill. There will be three sets of steel gates worked by powerful machinery and so arranged as to nass boats quickly through. Ten turnouts also are to beq constructed, each twenty feet at the bottom and 200 feet in length, and for a distance of 1,000 feet before reach ing the locks the canal Is to nave a width of eighty feet to the bottom of the prism. By this means provision is being made not only for' a speed of ten miles an hour, 'but for the accommodation of many 'boats at once, It Is esti mated that barges towed by steam tugs can make the passage from. Eliz abeth City to Norfolk In six hoursrand that fast river steamers -can go over the distance in about four hours. And if anything like such speed can be de veloped the new Dismal Swamp ciamal will not only destroy the competition of its rival, the Albemarle and Chesa peake canal, but rt will invite to the shorter -inland route much of the coast trade from Savannah, Charleston and Jacksonville, which now takes the out side passage aroun Cape Hatteras." The Dismal Swamp has been celebra ted in verse as ulUkncw Who have read Tom Moore. The Swamp is really a beautiful sheetof water, . The canal originated with George Washington Ijuald was chartered HO years ago. It was not completed until long after, about 1824, when it was opened for traffic. It paid good dividends, and in 1856, as much as 8 per cent, on $484,000, The Tradesman says that "after th capture of Roanoke Island in 1862 Gen eral Henry A. Wise made (his escape through - the Dismal - Swamp - canal, blowing up and demolishing three of its locks to head off pursuit. It was seized by the government, partially re paired and used for transport purposes, In 1865 the property wa returned to Its owners In a dilapidated condition. and has been practically moribund ever since." . . ' . The new company will have perform ed important service1 for the country when their wide plans are consum mated. It will open up a direct route with all the numerous Inland waters of North Carolina, giving too a quick passage between them and" Hampton Roads, Va. It is enterprise of real In terest and promises much benefit to this state In. the not remote -u'iir It will cause the Harge coastwise trade that goes by dangerous. .Hatteras to take the safe inffiarad c route. J- Many southern coast cities Wilmington, New Bern, Brunswick, Savannah, Charles tonare expected to contribute to the swelling , of the business of the new canaL The old canal cost in all $1,352,- wu up to now. The new will cost $1,- 00,000. -- - ' ' i TO COTUB A COLD IN OWK DAT.: Take Laxative T3mmn rt,iinn. nv,i: !f; ,A.1,1 dru:8risls refund the money if it falls to. cure. . 25c. - . -: THE MONTHLY MAGAZINES.

The experiment sta'tlon regrets to an-, nounce that the dreaded San Jose scale has reached ; North Carolina' Bulletin No. 138 describes the character of this destructive pest, the. damage which It has done "to the fruit industry in olth er states, and what it Is likely to -do in North Carolina unless It is stamped out at once. It is stated in the bulletin that from a single pair, 3,000.000,000 insects may result in a single season. Although j these scale Insects do not move from one place to another of their own aic cord, yet they are blown "by wind or else carried on the feet of birds to oth er orcbards not Infested. Such Is the rapidity of increase that these or chards will soon be covered and the trees will be destroyed In a very short whSre, besides being a standing men ace to other localities. The Hortteul tural Society, aided hy the experiment station, prepared a 'hill which was en-t acted by the legislature, the purpose of which is to prevent the Introduction and spread of such insects. There are other insects and fungous pests as 'bad as the San Jose scale. Some of these pests are the cotton, boll weevil, now proceeding northward from Mexico and Texas; the Gypsy motn (to destroy which the state of Massachusetts has already spent $650,000); the tobacco leaf miner, a recently discovered in- psect of most destructive tendency, and" the peach yellows, Which has practl caily ruined the peach orchards of many states. . LIFE HISTORY. The San Jose scale, as has been said, is a member of the Order Hemlptera or bugs. It differs from most cither genera Of this order in that the males undergo a complete metamorphosis, and when mature Wave only one pair of wings. The male and female insects pass the winter beneath their waxy scales as young. About the time the peach buds begin xo swell, the young awake and resume their growth, WMch is soon completed. The male then emerges and fertilizes the female, which soon begins to give birth to living young instead of eggs. The young continue to be bom for about six weeks at the -rate of about two dozen per day, according to the observations of Mr. Theo. Pergande of the entomological division of the United States department of agricul ture. The young scale bugs have legs and feelers, and' are very active for a tew Hours. They then affix themselves insert their beaks into the Plant and ;begin to suck the sap. After t'hrete or four days, they win (have covered them selves with a waxy scale like the par ent. After about twelve days they molt their skin, -legs and feelers, and the females lose their eyes. After several more maTtfs, 7 extending - over about twenty-five days, the males become mature and quit their scales. It re quires nearly forty days for the full growth of the female scale bug. Mr. Pergande found four successive broods at Washington, D. C. In North Caro lina and southward, there may be from five to seven broods. The fecundity of this insect is prodigious. Starting with a single fertilized female in spring, if all the increase live, we may have at the end of the fourth brood more than 3,ow,uoo,ooo insects. Being so very small while young, and soon covered by a hard, waxy scale, it Is probable that most of the scale bugs born do live When left to themselves and nature. REMEDIES. In California -Where this insect first became a dangerous orchard pest, the Tavonte remedies are fumigating with hydrocyanic acid gas, .and spraying during he winter season with a com bination of sulphur, salt, and lime; or a solution of soda, rosin and fish oil, The gas treatment is effective but dan gerous, dimcuit and expensive as- re gards trees in orchard. It cannot be thoroughly and satisfactorily carried out In a large- way by any one except a professional, with some ability as an engineer. Most of the California washes 'have all been tested by" the United States department of agriculture at Washington, D. C, but nothing save a strong solution of Whale oil soap has been found fully satisfactory under all circumstances. , - - i EXPERIMENTAL TESTS. In North Carolina, we have conduct ed the following experiments, Novem ber 23, 1896, In an orchard containing pear, peach, plumb, apple and. cherry trees, all badly infested. All the trees in this orchard were first cut back to the main branches and all small twigs removed. On the average one-naif the wood of ten year old peach trees was cut away and burned. Experiment No. 1. One row of ten trees was sprayed with hot solution of whale otl soap made as In formula No. 1, at rate of two pounds of soap to one gallon of water. Result: Destruction of about 95 to 98 per cent, of the scales. The treatment seemed very effective. In three 'hours after applying, the pre viously hard scales were seen bleached out, transparent and lifeless. But after an interval of about three weeks' a very thorough search showed that wnen, the scales had been masses thick- ay the solution had in some cases fail ed to penetrate and kill every scale. On the average as nearly as we could judge without actually counting he scales, a task practically Impossible in an orchard, there were left alive from 2 to 5 per cent, of the scales. A second treatment, which will be given in the spring, is calculated to completely -de stroy - the insects, which escaped, the first application. Experiment No. 2. One row of elev en trees, same varieties as No. 1, were scrubbed with a common hand scrub bing brush, using the same solution as in No. L Result: Only from 70 to 80" per cent, (estimated) of the scales Were destroyed after tbe same Interval as before. We expected 'better results from scrubbing than from spraying, as it was thought that the stiff bristles of the brush would tweak up the massed trate better. The scrubbing method re- quires less than one-half -the liquid used in spraying. The work was done by two men working on the same tree and carryingthe liquid in wooden pails. The soap lathered very freely and did not seem to penetrate the scales as did that . from the sprayer. J t formed a light frothy covering to the tree until washed off by rain. In both these and all other experiments. It was found practically Impossible to secure thor ough work when the workmen were left to themselves. . They 4iad to - be watched and frequently sent : back to repeat what was first attempted. This difficulty is due, aside from the inher ent incapacity or dislike of such peo ple to do thorougn work, to the cross ing of small branches which shade or protect portions of others and -from leaving unwetted small circles about the tip of the branch.
