If the Democratic overthrow on the 6th in this county was any more re markatle than in many other countie?, the Leader fails to see the difference.

Unlike the pioneer who blazed the path way of civilization in the Vest and who had to undergo the hardships of a new country, the o .1. a thatwaainvolved.it was simply that the Louuu ouei3 evor comiort anu con party in power needed chastisement for veniej.ee of the highest civilization - wronirs committed, and the mere fact 8CDO s cuurcnes, social advantages, of the character of the Democatic railro Hnd water transportation ticket beiax of a hiirh decree was not facilitles. enial cllma'e and every . even considered by the majority of thing needed to increase the comforts voters. The candidates on the Democratic county ticket, while defeated, cannot lay the blame of their defeat upon themselves, in fact most of them are and pleasures of life. Manufacturers' Record, 5J cent?, ai!. assuming that t 1 an average for ih whole year's supply, realized value would l 256,Miy.)00, or almost identical with the value of l-ml year's crop. The increase of crop appears to have arisen atout equally from enlargement of acreage and higher ratio of yield. During the first two months of this crop year. about one fifth oT the crop has been marketed at an average of A cent above the present market price which inav, make the result letier than we 1 have estimated. It is difficult in the absence of definite data, to forecaf-t the Tuture of tho markets for hog pro- ducts. At present the price of barrel pork is about 15 per cent !elow that of a year ago, and vet it is close upon the average standard. Dressed beef is selling at about the usual range for the last two or three vears. I Fhe foregoing facts cover the Di m cipal articles of agricultural produce. Our estimates as to future results are not to Ikj taken as positive foreshadow- ngs, which from the nature of the case are impossible; but they are based upon the best attainable data, and we do notj think actual results are likely to vary ! widely from what we have indicated as probabilities. Summing up the prospects of this year's crops, we find no reason to expect that the esults to the farmers will, upon tlie whole, fall below those of last year; nor, excepting wheat and cotton, below the average of recent years. It is easy to exaggerate the importance of the great decline in wheat; and when the whole agricultural position is judged from the standard of that product which is very commonly clone a large error of estimate must ue maae. Wheat is not our largest crop; its value is not 15 per cent of that of all farm products combined; and as a arge portion of it is consumed at home, the better half of our own people are benefited by what is mislortnne to the farmer. It is doubtful whether. within the last ten years, the fall in farm prices, taken as a whole, is any greater than that which has occurred in manufactured - pioducts; so that what the farmer has lost as a pioducer he has gained as a consumer. As a general result, therefore, we conclude that there is no good reason to anti cipate any important failing off in the demand for merchandise from the agricultural population -X. Y.

One thing the stay-at home Demo crats will always give as an excuse, is the example of Tresiden Cleveland and his entire Cabinet of secretaries, none of whom went home to vote. The new county officers of Buns wick, who were elected on the 6tb, inst. have their reputation in their own hands. Republican or Populist, the Leader will judge their political creed. Their official record will be the test, and upon that alone must they stand. A few of the State papers had nerve enough to disDlay Democratic roosters last week, but they looked awfully lonely among the mass of Republican gains! A display of turkey and its distribution among the editors in this section, would be more appreciated just now than rooster, and for that matter might help to take the disagreeable taste of crow out of our own mouths. Let it be turkey by all means. NORTH CAROLINA EDITORS GIVE POLITICS A REST.
