MARCELLUS E. THORNTON, KDITOIt. One Year Klx .Mouth Three Month" 9 00 GO 35 WHAT TO DO WITH WHEAT. A startling" evidence of tho ex tent to which our wheat trade with Germany has suffered by compe- liLiUIi Willi IUC Algcuuun i-UU" lic, and an illustration of how in ternational trade may be destroy ed by a tariff war, is contained in a report to the State Department by Frank A. Mason, United States Consul at Frankfort, upon German wheat imports during the past three years. In 1892 the United States ship ped to Germany 4,800,000 tons of wheat. The next year this dro ped to 3.987,850, and in 1894 the imports were but 3,054,CG9 tons Meanwhile Argentine seemed to have gained about what we lost, for the imports from that country, amounting in 1892 to but 661,907 tons, had swelled in 1893 to 513, 961 tons, and in 18q4 to 3,l9G,l)0 tens. In 18q3 Russia and Ger many engaged in a tariff war. In consequence the imports of Rus sian wheat into Germany which were 2,750,8)0 tons in I892, drop ped suddenly in 18q3 to 896,233 tons, but as showing the prompt ness with which they recovered their normal proportion when the restriction was removed in I894, peace having been restored, the Russian wheat imports reached 2,354,459 There is in the counties col tig- nous to this point not less than a hundred thousand bushels of wheat. Of course this is compar atively a small quanity, but when taken into consideration this wheat represents the labor and sweat of the brow of several thousand people; who, could tlief but get a market and a fair price for their wheat, it would place them in a position somewhat com fortable in comparison with wThat it now is. So by all means let all the markets for wheat and other cereals be opened up and kept open and then farmers can wax fat as well as other folks. AS TO THE P. AND C. There is and cannot be any question about the Press and Carolnian being the chief medi um through which advertisers can reach their desired ends in this whole section of country. This is evidenced by the advertis ing patronage of which it is now the recipient. It requires hard work and barrels full of knowing how to bring about these thinjrs. The pieco of poetry? (No not exactly poetry or rhyme;) which we publishodlast week about some body going to town tonight was a "freak" which indulged in by some one less a genius and more an adept at persoualism or the great art of making tho most out of the situation, or any thing else, would seem to be first class in some of its details as well as its general make up. The Senate Finance Committee voted upon reporting a common sense bill providing for an issue of short-time 3 per cent bonds, yeas five one Democrat and four Republicans nays, six -five Dem ocrats and one Populist. The fourth of March can not come any too soon. The water works will probably work: So said. Let 'em work. HICKORY 1 : .. . ....... m T I : ' AFTER OUR STAND BY'j. The Charlotte Observer of the 6th inst , enthusiastically and with a clean cut head referred to our particular pet but much dis comfited friend the so-called sec retary of the Treasury Hon. J. Q. or G. J. Carlisle in the following hiuuag? and terms: ''Secretary Carlisle is beset by j dangers on all sides. He was go ing from the Treasury to the White House Sunday afternoon probably escaping from Ichelhei mr and Lazard Freres when, in crossing Executive avenue, he narrowly escaped being run over by a recklessly-driven sleigh. He fell backjust in time to save him self, and his hat dropped ofl. Poor man! He has doubtless re gretted many a time having left the quietude of the Senate for a povition in which he must wrestle every day in the week with Ichel lieimer and hold conferences with the President every Sunday." If Messrs. Ickdickelheimer and Company, or any other Heimer has a corner on our colaborated contemporary with us in pot luck we can reverently point with pride to the past and say as said Hon. Henry Watterson on a simimilar or previous occasion the latter clause referring to "interviewing" each other can best be subserved in a roundabout way by a touch ing admonition to our able and very clever Secretary of the State to ''see" what he "holds." This is in the nature of a "call." We have suffered at their ' hands' Tom Bowen is no where. President Cleveland has in a message notified Congress that he had arranged a loan of ibout sixty two million or over in gold, the greater portion of which was to come from abroad. This was because the Congress had failed of financial legislation and the gold reserve had been reduced to about forty million. The, plan is to issue "coin" bonds as before under the old 4 per cent law of 1875, unless the Congress shall in the next ten days pass an act con ferring authority to issue 8 per cent "gold" bonds. The Presi dent points out that the "gold" bonds will be a saving of over sixteen million dollars to the government in the 30 years the bonds are to run. It is now "down to hard pan." Something must be done by the Congress and by the President. They will have to compromise, and the sooner they do it, the better for them, as well as the people. Several vacancies in the United States Senate have been filled re cently, aud there are now eighty seven members of that body. The only vacancy now existing is from the State of Washington and as soon as Senator Wilson takes his seat the Senate will have its full complement of members for the first time in two years. The Sen ate will then stand, Democrats,43; Republicans, 40; Populists, 5, em bracing Allen, Jones, of Nevada, Kyle, Pefftr and Stewart. Both Jones and Stewart were elected as Republicans, the former having served twenty-two years and the latter seventeen years, with an intermission of two terms. The Senate is no longer Democratic. It has been Democratic in name only during the past two years. The American .Newspoper An nual for I895, published by N. W. Ayer and son, of Philadelphia, has been distributed. It is quite a large volume and reflects much credit. It is very much assistance to Publisher? as well as advertis ers. Jenks: Je what? Mr. deSalol: Jehorsaphat!

' - 1 UClltM MADE FROM ligfr irads Tobacco ABSOLUTELY PURE J This "cumulative" voting busi ness wjll be the Grandfather mountain rock on which tho North Carolina factions in the Legislature and out of it will split all to smash and smithereens. You cant break into good folk's "sot" ways quite so "suddint." They know nothing about your "cumulative" voting and dont want to know. It sounds too much like it was vote early and often" with an addition of a "free ballot and free count."' "Cumulative" means to "pile it on;" and that is just what the Yeomanry are not willing to do, in these day and times. There is a whole lot of trouble about Hawaii again. Queen Lil's supporters were arranging for a Revolution. They were discover ed; tried, found guilty and many condemned to bo shot. Queen Lil, signed d paper abdicating and relinquishing all claims to the throne .: Sho.was in the plot. Tho U. Sj-has-asked for a stay of execution until the matter can be investigated officially. Congress has debated on the subject and much buncombe indulged in, and a cable has' been voted for from San Francisco. It will eventual ly result in the acquisition of the Islands. The legislature at Raleigh con tinues to legislate. In fact they are slorating Juris and lamming it to Prudence with a vengeance. Up turning and down turning several important statutes. It is a cold day when a jew gets left, and so is it with this legislature. Wre are glad to see them doing so well. The experience of Geo. A. Apgar, of German Valley. N. J., is well worth remembering. He was troubled with chronic diarrhoea and doctored for live months and was treated by four different doctors without benefit. He then began using Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, of which one small bottle effected a com plete cure. It is for sale by O. M. Royster, Druggist. How great a mistake it was that during these last several years the Democrats of North Carolina failed to restore the Veto power to the chief executive. But then, they have been gnawing at gnats and swallowing files. "I'll tell you now; 'business is business.' 1e er. Well, this water works has upset me. ''Things are in a bad shape." I tell you. Now Is th Time. Th benefit to be derived from a good medicine in early spring is un doubted, but many" people neglect taking any until the approach of warmer weather, when they wilt like a tender flower in a hot sun. Some thing must be done to purify the blood, overcome than tired "feeling and give necessary strength. Vaca tion is earnestly longed for, but ninv week, perhaps months, must elapse before rest can be indulged in. To impart strength, and to give a feeling of health and vigor throughout the svstetu, there is nothing equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. It seems per fectly adapted to overaome that pros tration caused by change of season, climate or life, and while it tones and sustains the svstem it purifies and re novates the blood. 7-4t GlflARETCES I . . lpUKEDUJHMVp 1 mLww& mmmm 1895.

We want to make a' little explana tion about the Press and Carolin ian's position on the question of Water Works. In the first place the matter was not properly brought be fore Vie people of Hickory and was not presented in accordance with all the leiral requirements. In the next place it raises taxes at a very bail time, The PiiK.ss and Carolinian had the manhood and the stamina to speak a few words in its issue of two weeks ago in derrogation of the people vot ing in favor of the water works. When we reflected that the charge might be made that the editor of this paper already had water works at his residence and was not willing that the people all over town should have it, we refrained from saying but very little (only which had been loft over from the week before) in last week's issue and let the people take their own course, as we can stand anything they can. 13ut the main thing we wish to say here is this: As a Democratic newspa per and depending very largely for its support to be rnaintainedatthe stan dard We have been running it, as a first-class weekly newspaper it is nec essary for its first-class job printing de partment to be patronized by the peo ple of this community. If the job printing department cannot be sup ported by these people on whom it should depend it may be necessary to cut down this newspaper to a standard where its expenses will be met by its patronage. We can say to"every citi zen of this town; no one will do more for it, as long as we are a citizen than we will; but if what is herein indicat ed were to be the case we would be ashamed to own that we resided in the town. By its churches, schoolhouses and newspaper is a town known. They are either first-class, and keep along at the front, or lag behind in the sloughs. Our Job outfit is as good as there is in the State, our paper of the best and our workmen as good as the best. No citizen of a town ever did him self or his town any good service by not sustaining his town newspaper. People do not like to go to a town where they do auch things. The Phe.-s and Carolinian has clone enough that it has not received the pay for during the last two vears to pay the salary of an editor. We are doing something for the people and for the town of Hickory all the time and very day. And if you cannot support the Democratic paper and its Job-Printing office, we want to know it at once. We have a Chance to sell out to the Republicans. You must recognize the Press and Carolinian. When you want any thing it is essential that you be friend ly and come and confer with us. Hick ory shduld have water works, but not as was proioed. Respectfully, Editor Press and Carolinian.
