Senator Aldrich, in his opening speech in the senate for the commit tee tariff bill,' said that $32,000,000 must be raised from internal taxes and from tea ior fteevenues would toe in sufficient. With these the -receipts would not exceed expenditures ' more than $3,000,000. But now it is deter mined by .'the republicans in the sen ate that neither the tax on beer nor tobacco nor tea shall be increased. ' .The Messenger at once denounced 'the tax on tea as It does the tax on sugar. It is an outrage in both particulars be cause it taxes the poor man's comforts a nd even necessaries. It Is "perfectly right and proper -to 'tax the needless luxuries whiskey, brandy, beer, ale, wines, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco They are the precise things to tax, and not shoes, flannels, clothing, cheap carpets, mattings, medicines, etc. There ought to be both common sense and common fairness in levying taxes. Senator Ald rieh said this: "Assuming that the necessity for ad ditional revenue exists, there can be no question, no economic reason, and none that affects the public interests, why beer and tobacco should not bear their share of additional taxation." But the pressure was brought to bear upon him and he 'backed square down. The trusts must have their $8,0QO,000 of $10,000,000 of gain each year and some $40,000,000 more must be raised on su gar. The beer- saloons kicked, the farmers who do not pay one cent of the tax on tobacco, etc., kicked, and there was no possible trust gains to be made on tea, so all have been abandon ed save the huge tax on sugar by which not far from $50,000,000 will be taken from the long suffering andheav ily taxed people, nearly or quite one fifth of which will go into the private pockets of the sugar trust robbers. The sugar tax Is not so high as Aid rich favored and reported. The howl against it in the newspapers" and in the senate was so loud and angry the com mittee reduced the tax. It is still left in a very lavish condition for the bei- efit of the foul trust. The able, ih .formied Philadelphia 'American says: "It is far from a complete victory, th& favor extended to the trust, the gov ernment aid granted to the trust and which must serve to assist the trust in exacting a tribute from our people, is ifar from -being removed, but it is reduced, and we must be thankful for small things. And the new schedule is, indeed, a considerable improvement over the old. The old would have as sisted the trust in exacting a tribute from our people Or from' something less than two-fifths of a cent a pound on ; every pound of sugar sold; the new ex ' tends 'but half as much governmental aid. What is more, the new schedule gives the protection to the sugar trust 4s purports to give. It means what it says.- Just what the abandoned sched ule meant it took an expert to deci pher." So something has been gained for the people in the fight waged against such unblushing robbery under legal enactment. The trust will make one fifth of a pound, or 4,000,000,000 pounds of sugar, but this is not all. The Amer ican shows how It will make- "big money" by the large imports of sugar it has on hand. It says that the "trust is now estimated to have on storage between. 600,000 and 700,000 tons of raw sugar, which it has recently Imported, paying? the rates of duty r 'provided for in the Wilson law, or j aibout eighty to ninety cents a hun dred pounds. Under "the new, sched ule the rate of duty will average about $1.60 per hundred pounds. So the pas sage of the; pending tariff would lead to an increase in the cost of raw sugar, and, we may suppose, of the price, of 70 cents a hundred pounds, or $14 a ton. Thus it is evident that the sugar trust would profit from the passage of the tariff, and on the six or seven hun - dred thousand tons of sugar It now has " on "hand, by between $8,000,000 and $10,000,000."

If Ayer's Hair Vigor had been obtainable then, doubtless he Would have tested its merits, as so many distinguished and fashionable people are doing now-a-days. WEBSTER And badger. The scholarly editor of The Asheville Citizen says this: s "What a change since the days when Daniel Webster gave to Senator Bad ger, of North Carolina, a (tetter of in troduction to Rufus Choate, Of Mas sachusetts, somewhat a- follows: 'Kindly let this introduce to you Sena tor Badger, of North Carolina your equal and my superior.' Then the 'best talent was" at the service of the state." If he will aliow us, having some knowledge of the matter, we will state that it was a letter to Judge Story, of Massachusetts, to whom Mr. Webster addressed the letter of introduction lir- 'behalf of Mr. Badger, who was not then in the senate. It occurred before our great 'North Carolinian had been either in the cabinet or senate. Mr. Badger bad been associated with Mr. Webster n a law case before the "su preme court of the United States in this way. Mr. Badger was thoroughly acquainted with the case and had gone to Washington to consult "With the great New England lawyer. At Web ster's request Badger prepared a brief of the case. He was not then a practi tioner before the court and Websfcw was to make the argument. Badger -handed the brief to him and left the city for home. When the case was call ed, Chief Justice Taney presided. Web ster said that instead of an argument he would read e, brief history of the case, which was in fact an argument of great lucidity and force, prepared by Mr. Badger, of North Carolina, whom, he regretted to say, had never appeared .before that court. He read it In his deep, sonorous, . organ-like topes, end sat down. What a 'compli- merit to the ffreat and unknown North Carolinian!! Afterwards Mr. Badger was on his way o Massachusetts and stopping over in" Washington saw Mr. Webster, telling him he was going to his state and meant to visit Judge Story. Mr. Webster at once wrote a letter to the great jurist and we happen to know very nearly what he wrote. In 1846, when Mr. Webster visited Raleigh.; this writer was captain, of the cadets of Lovejoys Military, academy, the commandant of which was William F. Disbrow, of New York, and room mate of General Grant at West. Point, as the latter informed us early in No vember, 1865. The cadets received Mr. Webster at tie old Raleigh, and Gaston depot and were his escort through the town to the opposite side Where Gov ernor Graham resided in the old "Gov ernor's palace," as it. was called, a most striking misnomer. Because of this1 we were invited to attend a levee or reception ball given to Mr. and "Mrs. Webster by United States Senator Wil liam iH. Haywood the only cadet pres ent. Early in the evening Mr. Web ster came into the front hall from the dancing room. He was escorted 'by Mr. Weston R. Gales, editor of The Register, Colonel John H. Manly, and Major Charles H. Hinton, treasurer of the state. There was a Targe bowl of punch on the sideboard. They were all seated a few feet distant and Manly was master of ceremonies. While sip ping and talking one of the gentlemen, we do not recall which; salid to Mr. Webster that Mr. Badger was held in great admiration by iNorth Carolinians 'because of his distinguished abilities, and that there was a report or tradition of a letter of introduction lie (Mr. Web ster) "had written to Judge Story, and they would like to know if it was true. We were standing some six or seven feet distant near the doorway to the ball room, and could hear the conver sation which arrested our attention. 'Mr. Webster said in a solemn way "Well, what . am I supposed to have said?"1 The Teply was thisr "This will introduce to you George E. Badger, of North Carolina, your equal and my su perior." We could make affidavit to this and the reply of "godlike Daniel." With deep voice he sad 'It was some thing like that." We are the only one living who heard that as all of the four participants long ago passed beyond the grave. Some people are constantly troubled wi th pimples and boils, especially about the face and neck. The best remedy is a thorough course jof Ayer's Sarsapa rilla, which expels all humors through the proper channels, and so makes the skin become aoft, healthy, and fair. TRADE. Dun's Review is always taking the very best possible view of the trade conditions. . It is always, hopeful and prophetic of better times. A glance over its reports for 12th inst., fails to bring much cheerfulness to the out look although Dun forecasts steady im provement. "We take a few items gath ered herea nd there and grouped: The gain in business continues In some branches an advance in prices appears Wheat declined over 4 cents week before last and last week recovered 1 cents a dead loss in two weeks of 2 cents Cotton is a sixteenth weaker Brown goods are dull. In boots and shoes "prices average about half of 1 perc ent. lower for the week." Hides are at the highest point since November 25th Leather and boots and shoes are at the lowest since October 7, 1896 There is an increase in the volume of actual business in the country, but prices are not advanced but little on any thing, and are less on several products. Corn fluctuates. In Iowa it is lowest in ten years. Pork products are lower. Dry goods market unfavorable. "Taken as a whole it is now worse than a week ago," when it was bad. Failures increase rather than diminish. For last week there were 262 against 241 the week before, and 246 for last year. No improvement you see, but. the opposite. In the south there was an increase 72 against 61 the week preceding, and 52 last year.

Another find ing of the court has been over-ridden and set aside, and a criminal has been turned looset by order of the big blun derer. . n We are anxious to find out beyond all doubt where Henry L. Wyatt, the first southern soldier killed in battle in the great four years' war was born. North Carolina papers persist in making him a: native of this state. Is it true? The accounts for thirty yeara agreed in making him a native of Richmond, Va. We suppose it to be true. A letter from a cultivated lady is be fore us, and it is most cordial in its appreciation of The Messenger. We can only , venture to take this much, and with hearty thanks 'for the very kind words: "I must tell you very plainly' and frankly how much I appreciate The Messenger a newspaper I regard as one of the cleanest, cheapest, ablest and best edited in the country It is a paper I should not hesitate to put into the hands of my children; and its capital religious editorials alone are worth many times the subscription price of the paper." The Charlotte Observer publishes an outline account of addresses made at Providence in Mecklenburg county, by Professor Alexander Graham, of that town, and President Mclver. . of the Greensboro normal. Professor Graham handled Boston Page's statements as to North Carolina with ungloved hands, using effectively some of the facts and figures of The Messenger and ,The Reidsville. Weekly. Dr. Mclver is a great admirer of Mr.lPage and is re ported as saying that "Mr. Page told the ruth.". in what particular? Not in the statistics. Not in the slurs, not in the railing accusations. THE MONTHLY MAGAZINES. "Current Literature" has certainly much improved latterly. It is very readable. The new editor has intro duced several interesting features that are strictly literary. The June num ber is excellent, and far more enjoyable than the heavy Century for the same month. It is so improving in its lit erature strictly thaf '!lt . wUl ave to be adopted into the" family of Jeal liter ary mothlies if it shjall contiue to de velop "on that line" This Repression has been patented by the prVachers. "The Atlantic" anil "The, Boonan" are now-the jpureTy literary magazines. The price of "Current Literature" is $3 a year or 25 cents a month,' but it contains about as much reading as the Century and Scribner combined. It is published at the Bryant building 55 Liberty street, New York city. "North Carolina Baptist Historical Papers" for April has been on hand for six weeks perhaps. It is a very creditable quarterly, neatly printed and well edited. "The Baptists in North Carolina." is number one of - a series, by Rev. J. D. Huf ham, D. D. It is of genuine interest, aside from any de nominational peculiarity, and is an im portant contribution to the relisious history of North Carolina. Dr. Huf ham is an old editor of excellent abil ities, and he never wrought better than is this first number of an . instrutcive series. It is indeed a clever example of historical composition, and fairness is clearly sought. Professor Thomas Hume, of the University of North Car olina, discusses at length "John Milton and the Baptists." He comes to the right conclusion that .. in church fel lowship he was never a Baptist" al though holding some similaropinions: The great poet, essayist and contro versialist was any thing else than orthodox as all know who have read his prose works the most splendid in English literature. Dr. Hume takes a wide survey and arrives safely at the close in accord with the historic ver ities. There is a very faithful and well executed portrait of the professor. The Baptists are doing -indeed well in this noteworthy publication. Price $1 a year, single number 30 cents. Publish ed at Henderson, N. C. NO CURE KO PAY.

That too in the face of fam ine in India, war in Europe, short crops in England, France, Russia. Why the low price?

They are the sort that as sault truth, abuse the south and ap plaud villainy. It looks, as if killing presidents in France was to become a fine art. Hap pily the attempt upon President Faure failed of success. A man would be wise in France to remain in "the private station." , Senatcr Tillman ard .not Senator Hoar represents the views of the great masses in desiring that the sugar scan dal in the senate shall be thoroughly inquired into. Under what ever plea a dodge may be urged it will recoil to the injury and disgrace of the senate, Hoar's picture of the laboring classes of Massachusetts may be true. ' But there are others and many of them "up there," who are born Paul Prys and ex tremists, manufacturers of "isms," and ready to precipitate a war for fanati cism's sake. They are possibly of the "literary class," men of the Lowell, Higginson type. ' Republicans have determined to go into the annexation business.
