Louisville Courier-Journal. For some time the tobacco trade was saved from the maw of the syndi cate. Perhaps the syndicaters, if we may be allowed to coin such a word, thought there was too much iine cut for them to digest, and for a while they passed tobacco by, and amused them selves with breweries, grain elevators, soap factories and other such enter prises of use or luxury.. But the day of tobacco was to come, and these gen tlemen, whose business is to double or triple the valuation of a business con cern over night, swooped down upon tobacco and the air is thicker with rumors of alliances and combinations and trusts and sudden fortunes. than it is with dust on a windy day in June. The storm-cloud has enveloped every part of the country that is interested in tobacco, but the forked lightnings are making an especial display of fire works over this city, and the modest tobacco man who wishes to conduct his business in his own quiet way must be ready to dodge at any moment, or, as they say in the melodrama, he's a goner. He will be seized, bound, gagged and dragged into a syndicate, willy nilly, quicker than a lot of South Sea Islanders would skin and eat a nice fat missionary. The syndicater is at large, and he roams throughout the tobacco district, monarch of all he surveys. To-day he organizes the warehousemen into a trust; to-morrow he sells all the fac tories to a sweeping monopoly and buys them back a few hours later; he unites the buyers into an aggressive faction at breakfast and sows sedition among them at supper; he sends mag nates of the trade into unexplored spots of the earth on all sorts of mys terious missions.and brings them back, portentious with mighty events that are to, but never happen; he twists a quar ter of a million Kentucky farmers around in the hollow of his hand, and suits them to his purposes as a player would arrange his pawns on a chess board. It makes no difference who his victims are. 'All is fish that come to his net. He will syndicate anybody and at. any time,and will do it quicker than you could scrape an oyster out of his shell. This business goes merrily along, and the most experienced man has to take a hop, skip and jump to keep up. There are so many twists and turns that even the newspapers find it diffi cult to inform the public of each. But perhaps, after all, no one should com plain. It amuses the syndicater and hurts nobody, andby-and-by when the dust has settled and the syndicater, having sucked the fountain dry, be takes himself to green fields and pas tures new, we will find out exactly what bad been done. THE CONDITION OF ITALY. Norfolk Virginian. The condition of Italy is indeed de plorable. Nothing has afforded a clearer insight into the rottenness of its foundation than the recent foolish bluff of Baron de Fava. The facts show that she is in no way able to wage war. Her whole social and financial system seems to be about to collapse. The outlook is indeed a wretched one. Banks are suspending and factories are closing with a rapidity that is startling. But recently the great firm of Corradini utterly failed, with liabilities estimated at over 15,000,000 frances, and the head of the house, Giovanni Corradini, over sixty years of age, and up to the failure universally respected, is shown up to be a forger and swindler and a fugitive from juscice. The big sugar refinery at Ancona has closed; Marv rogordato's bank has failed and the streets of Leghorn swarm with the un employed, semi-starved workingmen. At Genoa there have been numerous failures. The municipal coffers of Naples are empty, and the revolu tionary party all through Italy is bolder, more persistent and violent than ever. Only recently delegates representing a thousand unemployed workingmen waited on the Minister of the Interior and told him to his face that if the Government did not grant their demands, they would pillage the city. This is not, on the whole, a very pleasing outlook for a country that so foolisly blustered, through its repre sentatives, in its effort to bulldoze the United States. Italy has much to look after within its own limits, that will keep it pretty fully engaged, without seeking new fields of trouble with the republic of the United States.

Ragland Writes on the Subject and Incidentally Alludes to the Great Tobacco Combine. . Hyco, Va., April 1, 1891. " The student of modern political econo my, especially of American economics, na rrimTA.TWI wit.h 'T.hfi t.f?fli?hintrs of AriRm Smith, Ma! thus, Ricardo, and John Stew nrt. Mill, rwocmizes a wide deDarture from the old school economists, resulting irom rauicm cuaugwi going uu m uie ei iHting industrial system now pervading busincss. There ia a manifeHt growing tendency to eliminate competition as the controll ing economic force, and, so far as possi- Die tO Circuuiwi;i iue lug ultra wiium wuii;ii il s influence is effectual. There is an impelling cause behind this movement,, the chief economic reason for which is claimed to be the concentration and conservation of energy with the least ex pense and competative waste savings in the wages of officers, agents, travelling salesmen, and, above all, the expenses of competative strife. But the real cause underlying the formation of trusts and combinations is the advantages and op portunities which come through the con centration of larga amounts of capital in the hands of their controllers, by which they are enabled to over-reach and effect ually crush out all competition, thus giv ing the power to monopolize and control the business for which the combines and trusts were formed. THEY HAVE COME. The trusts have coine, and, while there remains individual competition in a re stricted sense, its social supermacy, as a factor in the life-work of these later times, is gone, and with it largely the power of the people to right themselves. Machinery has largely taken the place of manual labor; and the progress of inven tion in all industrial development has largely increased profits under a prorata reduction of manual labor, and thereby giving to manufacturers commmanding large capital not only a more certain control but larger profits. The king of the trusts, "The Standard oil," was formed in 1874, and since tuen more than three score trusts have been formed ia many of the leading industries of the country, and they are still stretching their briarean arms "to grasp in all the shore." NATURAL THAT THOSE AFFECTED ABUSE THEJX. It is but natural that the people mostly affected by the trusts should .declaim against and abuse them; but have not the organizers of syndicates simply adjusted themselves to present economic conditions, to avail of opportunities for personal gain, made possible under the politico-economic system now in vogue? There is a principle pervading all human: nature, however civilized and cultured, that invites the individual to grasp all that is attainable and utilize every oppor tunity for personal gain not interdicted by law. Many blame the organizers of trusts who would gladly themselves get. into them, and "on the ground floor," were it possible. Success in war is greatly determined by heavy battallions skilfully handled, and the largest profits are realized from con centrated capital bo employed as to crush out and defy competition. Then again, capital the money class in this country has always received special favor and been granted special privileges. The ten dency of economic development has for years been in the direction of combi nations and trusts, they have grown so powerful as not only to menace all in dividual enterprise but the public wel fare. NO EASY PROBLEM. To control trusts and keep them within the bounds of ethical economy just and fair to all trades, industries and classes is no easy problem, and is made more difficult Bince capital has leaned its po tency in controlling legislation in its be half. There seems but one way to success fully meet and oppose the encroachments of trusts, conbinations and syndicates formed and forming to rob the people, and that is to increase, extend and magnify the functions and power of the State, or of the Union, to deal with them. Individual effort is powerless, and the way has not yet been opened for associa tions and organization of the people to successfully oppose monopolies. THE TOBACCO TRUSTS. The tobacco trust, formed and forming, threatens the entire tobacco industry. Its influence has already proved so pernio cious, hurtful, and obnoxious to the great mass of planters and dealers, and so threatening to all the manufacturers outside of the trusts, as to already paralyze the industry and cause the gravest fears. Various measures have been suggested to thwart the purposes of the trusts. One of these, concerted or forced abstention from planting for a time, might prove effectual, if forced through taxation or otherwise so as to make it general; but this would hurt innocent manufacturers, the planter's main customers and best friends. Boy cotting trust goods offers a fairer, and, as some claim, a surer method. This writer suggests a graduated tax cum ulative with the increase of the product manufactured as likely to prove more effectual.-- Every tobacco man outside of the trust should unite and combine to down the tobacco trust, or else the planters, ware housemen and dealers will be forced to abandon the industry. A resolute, deter mined people can accomplish much in the way of reform, especially when they have right and justice on their side and are impelled by nature's fundament law, self persevation. Let us start right, do right, and continue right onward, and as Judge Daniel once said substantially, "some law will surely be found to uphold us in so doing." The tobacco trust has already"set its coulter so deep" as, in time, which means ruin to the business. It has surely brought great damage to the tobacco industry already, and when the rebound comes, as surely it will come soon or late, where will the trust be then? - A SOCKDOLAGER. The reader may ask, what is meant by a "sockdolager?" We reply, it is what old Tom Blackwell. of Durham, was wont to call a- knock-down. Here is a "sockdolager" knock-down for the trusts: Let the State recognize trusts as it has railrod coiuorations. and then pass 4a ws to effectully control them. "Fight the devil with fire." and bitr chunks ot it well heaped on. Give to them distinct 'functions and characters, as distinct from private business; require public supervision over them in order to rectify abuses and to protect the citizens and Commonwealth. There is no necessity to make a communistic State, but there is a palpable and urgent necessity to protect private property, individual rights and enterprise, and to promote the industrial welfare and well-being of all the people. IMPERATIVELY DEMANDED There is a growing inequality of condi tion of the people of this great republic that menaces its stability and the perpet uation of true Democracy. Something is imperatively demanded to. correct the evil tendency in the aggrandizement of immense wealth in the hands of the favored few. Taxation is the factor needed as the great equalizer in solving this irregular social equation. Let the State levy a graduated income tax, cumulative on the amount taxed, on all corporations, trusts and individuals; tax all inheritances and bequests, and levy a special tax on the succession of all estates over f 100, 000, and thus accom plish for the next generation what our fore-fathers so wisely and beneficently did in the inauguration of this republic, in the abolishment of primogeniture and entail. Desperate diseases require heroic reme dies, and the diseased body politic must be treated accordingly. The economic conscience, at its best, is not above par, and "corporations have no souls," and therefore the State alone must govern them. The autonomy of the State, so greatly endangered by trusts, must be preserved at all hazards, and everything in conflict therewith must be suppressed or brought into subjection to law, or we will soon witness what is fastapproach ing, an aristocracy of wealth a despicable plutocracy that will crush out all enter prise and thrift outside of their favored arenas, and inaugurate a tyranny more cruel and enslaving than feudalism or serfdom, because of its being inflicted on & people that have once known and en joyed the blessings of civil and industrial liberty. Beware of trusts! R. L. Ragland. A NEW ERA DAWNING. LLa Grange Spectator. We believe that the old North State is on the eve of a new era of progress and prosperity. Several towns and cities in the State have for ten years or more enjoyed the fruits of pluck and enterprise. Charlotte.Durham, Wins ton, Oxford and Henderson have made great advancement, while many other towns have made progress, but not what they should. There is a general awakening how ever, among all classes of individuals and some healthful signs of a disposi tion to better their general welfare. Capital is now being- invested in the manufacture of cotton and tobacco but not to the extent it should. Real es tate near the towns has attracted the attention of capitalists more or less, but so far there is no great impetus given an especially great and remun erative source of wealth, agriculture. But in this even there is a marked im provement in some sections. We be lieve, the possibility of agricultural de velopment in Eastern North Carolina is beyond what has ever been known in anti-bellum days, but there must be first a clearing away of much of the clash, contention and strife between tthe classes before there can be a genu ine "community of interests, resulting in a successful combat for material prosperity. There is now evidence 01 great prejudice against railroads in this State, and that an antagonism is doing coach harm to the State's development, ia building of new roads within her borders, but we must believe that the time is fast coming when a proper con ception of what is to the best interest and material development of the natural and remunerative resources of our God-favored section will make its influence felt far and wide. There is too much wild cat farming, as well as too much wild cat speculation in real estate, in some sections of the State, and must be guarded against and discountenanced, for there is more to be dreaded from the failure of farmers, than from the suspension of all the National banks in the country. DEATH OP GOVERNOR FOWLE. The death of Governor Fowle, the distinguished Chief Executive of North Carolina, which occurred very late on Tuesday night, was an event that has caused very sincere regret among the people of Virginia,many of whom were acquainted with him personally, and to all of whom he had been long known by reputation, the very conspicuous part which he had for many years played in the public affairs of the great Commonwealth over which he was pre siding at the hour of his passing away, having given him a prominent position among the public men of the South. In his death North Carolina loses a representative citizen as well as a use ful and faith fnl public officer. It is to be sincerely lamented that a career which promised so much. further dis tinction has been so suddenly cut short. Governor Fowle had hardly attained the age when the highest forms of political success are secured. He could justly have looked forward to still higher honors, for he enjoyed the respect of the people of his State in an unusual degree, and was in the direct line of promotion. This pros pect has now melted away, for he has passed beyond the limits of earthly preferment. Richmond Times. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Rocky Mount Argonaut. The . Argonaut notes with great pleasure the existence of conditions at many 'points in Eastern Carolina, which afford undoubted assurancee of immediate and rapid growth, and will irom time to time call attention to them. Notably among these places, is Weldon, in Halifax county, and Springhope, in Nash county. Both of these places have natural advantages and a combination of favorable con ditions which will compel rapid growth. , Weldon is located in a splendid ag ricultural country. The Roanoke river lands are as fine corn lands as can be found on the conti nent. The Roanoke lands used to be called the Egypt of North Carolina. The uplands contiguous to Weldon are splendidly adapted to all the crops of this section. It has first-class trans- 1 portation facilities, over eighty trains j arriving and departing each day. But j that which constitutes the most im I portant factor in the growth of 1 Weldon is its magnificent water power. The Roanoke Canal Com pany can develop about 15,000 horse j power, which, except one, is the best power in the United btates. Ihe canal, eight miles long, is nearly com pleted and it is expected that the water can be turned ia by the first of June. This power will be utilized by the establishment of a number of factories at Weldon. The company which is developing this power, has erected an elevator and grist mill of large capacity which will be ready to commence running as soon as the canal is completed. The great Falls canal is under con struction and will develop 7,000 horse power. A number of large manufact uring establishments are already en gaged to be erected on this power when completed. These two canals will give, fully developed, 22,000 horse power, sufficient to run a vast amount of machinery, and it will all be employed This in itself will make Weldon a great manufacturing city. The conditions at Springhope are much the same. It is in the midst of one of one of the finest farming- sec tions of the State. Not only cotton, grain and all the other crops of this section, but its lands are peculiarly adapted to the production of the golden leaf tobacco which is the most profitable. Nowhere in the world can' finer "tobacco be raised than in this section. In close proximity to the town are large bodies of finest pine and hard wood timber. Springhope also has near it one of the finest water powers in tne State, and a power which possesses the great advantage of en abling mills to be placed so that high water can never affect them. This power has such advantages that it is bound to be utilized. The conditions, we have mentioned cannot exist in combination, as they do at this point, J without resulting in the prosperity and rapid growth of the place. Already, from a forest three years ago, the town has grown to be a thiiving business place, and is growing now more rap idly than ever. Springhope and Weldon are among the coming towns of Eastern Carolina, and their rapid growth, and consequently large en hancement of values, is as certain as that any effect will follow an adequate cause. A North Carolina editor, who has been much annoyed by his pants "bag ging" ' at the knees, and made his wants known through his paper.has re ceived from a subscriber the following: "Having noticed your 'Bagged Knees' in a recent issue, would suggest a very simple remedy, as follows: Have your j pants made on a straight last (not rights and lefts), cut in the same style behind as before. Then you can change them every day, thus avoiding the perplexity." New York Tobacco Leaf. Strange Revolution in Women's Dress Will American Ladies Dare Adopt it? Some prpdict that the great change in in the fashioning of clothes which are to be worn by women this coming season is the most wonderful victory of the nine teenth century if fashion leaders can be induced to adopt it, and appear just once in public so arrayed. . Men will hold their breath in wonder at the marvelous change it makes in lovoly woman. "Few of the fair sex can help being beautiful iu these glove-fitting cos tumes," says a writer in Tht New York and Paris Youno Ladies' Fashion Bazar. "This is the only magazine in Europe or America which makes a specialty of giving those inclined to stoutness an un rivaled appearance of sculptured slim ness," said Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales.

Mr. Editor: John Quincy Adams was thought to have a more pow erful intellectand a better stored mind than his father. His father having ample means gave him educational ad vantages he wisely improved. He was a man of mental and moral culture re flecting credit on his family and his country. His transcendant abilities brought him into notice at once as one of the guiding spirits of the land. jnt intellectually as great as he was he could not control enough of the votes of the people to make him president. He ran for the office of president asrainst two other able aspirants and raiiea 10 receive enougn electoral votes to elect mm. The duty ot selecting the president devolved upon the lower house of Congress. The claims of the different aspirants were presented and ably urged by their friends on the floor. It was an exciting time and the people looked for the result with eagerness. Mr. Clay, the eloquent debater, op posed the election of Jackson, the hero of New Orleans. He said the placing of a military chieftain in the presiden tial chair "would be worse than war, pestilence and famine." His zealous advocacy of the claims of Adams threw a shade of suspicion over his character as an honest statesman. His earnest ness shown in supporting him and his acceptance of an important position in his cabinet left the impression on the minds of the people that there was a previous understanding in the matter between him and Adams. The charge of "bribery and corruption" was the topic through the land damaging to his reputation as a statesman. It closed the door to presidential honors against him. Adams was fitted by natural and acquired abilities for the duties of any position of trust and honor in the nation. One ofEngland's great men paid him a high compliment when he was sent out, with others, to make a treaty of peace with England during the war of 1812. He said he did not see why the United States should send five such great men to treat with England "when Mr. Adams was able to cope with the whole British Court." After Adams left the presi dential chair his friends elected him to a seat in the lower house of Congress. Like his father he seemed to think his great services to his eountry were not appreciated by the people. In his old : age he tecame sectional in his views and seemed to delight in presenting petitions in Congress calculated to irritate the South. He did not have much- love for the South and the South had none for him. I heard the lamented George E. Badger say on one occasion that "Adams never did forgive the South for not voting for him for president." He was stricken down with paralysis while sitting in his seat in Congress and lived but a few hours. His dying expression was, "This is the end of earth; I am content." When he fell one of the most brilliant lights was plucked from our political sky by the hand of Providence. R. W. II. MODERN EDUCATION. TTarboro Southerner.. The object lesson method of teachj ing has been generally adopted by the most enlightened instructors in every branch of human mental endeavor. Nature has most materially assisted the Southerner in inculcating its truths with regard to road-repairing. The Southerner stated what would, under certain conditions, become obstinate and painful facts; nature furnished the conditions and the facts followed. The long rainy season must have shown every mind, not dollar-dwafed nor blinded in short-sighted selfishness, that the most radical changes from present methods must be adopted be fore we can ever have good, aye often, passible roads. Working the roads present by the "hands" system, has never and will never, and fan never work well. Its burdens are unjustly distributed. The enforced service begins at an age, when boys are apt to own less of the "offending causes" that produce bad roads, than later in life and this ser vice ends just at an age when men have accumulated property and the means to tear the road to tatters. Naturally, this creates a wide-spread disaffection with the class of road workers under the law. Seeing they are oppressed and most unjustly, they are determined to do as little work as possible and the roads are slurred over and bepatched with no apparent good effect; indeed, the few shovels' full of dirt thrown in the holes make soft mud with the first rain that falls. Taxation is the only "open1 sesame" to the situation. Until that method is adopted bad roads may be expected. Farmers -are the earliest, longest and worst sufferers.

VIRGINIA'S SILVER ORATOR TOXGUED Delivers an Eloquent Address at the Centennial Patent Convention. I Richmond Times.J Washington, April 8. The cele- j bration of the one hundredth anniver sary of the founding of XtA. .American patent system opened here to-day at the Academy of Music with the pres ence of a large assemblage of distin guished inventors and prominent pub- jjc officials On the stage were Presi dent Harrison, Thomas A. Edison, Dr. Gatling, G. Westinghouse, Jr., Commissioner Mitchell of the Patent Office, Senator Piatt of Connecticut, Commissioner Wright of the Bureau of Labor, Senator Daniel of Virginia, Secretary Noble, Postmaster-General Wanamaker and others. President Harrison called the Con gress to order, and introduced Hon. Charles E. Mitchell, Commissioner ot Patents, who delivered an exhaustive address on the "birth and growth of the American patent system." Other papers were read as follows: By Sena tor Piatt, on invention and advance ment; Carroll Wright, on relation of in vention to labor; by Justice Blatchford, on a. century of patent law, and by Robert L. Taylor, on epoch making the questions of America. senator Daniel's eloquent address. At the evening session Secretary Noble presided, and in a short address introduced Senator John W. Daniel, who spoke on the New South as an outgrowth of inventions and the American patent law. Senator Daniel was repeatedly interrupted by applause. Senator Daniel began by speaking in the highest terms of the Patent Office, and referred to it as being both Republican and Democratic, in being self-supporting. Aftr remarking that the Romans placed in the highest Elysian fields those who made inven tions and that the North American continent was the evolution of dis- covery of the mariner's needle, he spoke of the natural conditions which led the North . to manufacturing and the South to agricultural pursuits. BEYOND THE NOISE OF BATTLE. "If I am asked the cause of Northern victors in the late struggle," he said, I look beyond the. noise of battle to the inventors, mechanics and manu facturers." Applause. "But," con tinued the Senator, "the South ap plauded Northern genius and welcomed its results. The long list of great in ventors from the South, however, proved that the South was no laggard in the race, while the fact that in 1890 three thousands of patents were granted to Southern men shows that the South will soon vie with the North in generous rivalry in every branch of invention. Then it was shown that nearly all the inventions were first put into practical use in the South, this being especially true of the telegraph, the steam railroad and the manufacture of glass, while the patent system was founded by Thomas Jefferson. ORIGINATED BY SOUTHERNERS. 'Madison, of Virginia, and Pinck- ney, of South Carolina, framed the patent clause of the Constitution, and the first patent certificate of the United States bore the names of three Vir ginians Washington, Jefferson and Randolph." Applause. With a thoroughness that evidenced careful research, Senator Daniel traced the part taken by the South in inven tions of all kinds. Then he recounted the debt owed by the South to invent ors, giving the highest place to Eli Whitney, of the cotton-gin, and Henry Bessemer's steel process. In describing how these inventions had aided the South to develop its resources Senator Daniel spoke rapidly and with great eloquence. THE SOUTH S GREAT PROGRESS. "The South," he said, "is a land of corn, oil, wine, milk, honey, rice,sugar and tobacco. It is rich with raw ma terials. It is called the South," he said, " and yet it is 1,700 miles north of the equater. Its people are descend ed from the same Norman line, and their blood -and lineage is the same as the rest of the country. Applause. "Its great production of cotton would soon be rivaled by the output of coal and iron. The last decade of Southern progress has been a revelation and a revulsion. The intermixture of Southern brains and Northern capital will soon make the South, as predicted by the late Representative Kelly, of Pennsylvania, the Eldorado of modern invention. In the future the South will give employment to millions of its own artisans, it will have improved methods of its own, and its industries will be more diversified than those of any people." EULOGY OF THE INVENTOR. Senator Daniel concluded with an impassioned eulogy of the inventor, and with an expression of hope that some day there would be erected in Washington a hall of science, in which the achievements of American intel lect could be displayed. The address was a magnificent pro duction, not only in a literary and rhetorical sense, but in the vast amount of information which it contained. It was Vich in imagery, and lofty and patriotic in its tone. The applauss lasted for several minutes after Senator Dan iel had taken his seat.
