The Western prai ries are capable of carrying double the present mimher of live stock and "pro ducing 111 times as much grain as they, do, so that for at least a century to come there is' every probability that the expor tation of food will increase with popu lation.

THE COAL FOR INVESTORS. Manufacttulng sites at the Home of tne Raw Material A Sure Klondike for Capital Without Danger of Death -Climate a ad Soil Congenial. The 'position occupied by the City of Raleigh in the mercantile and manufac turing marts of the United States is one that is a credit to a city of much larger population. , Kaleigh is the natural manufacturing center of a country rich in natural and developed and undeveloped resources. Her natural resources embrace three elements of strength without which no city can grow into commanding impor tance, viz: Good men, a natural ajnd central location for She building of: a manufacturing city and a tributary country of large resources. Better or braver men than those who first planted the standard of commerce and manufac turing industry, in Raleigh ncrw con gregated in a growing city or under took the subjugation of a beautiful wilderness to human uses. A sort of practical Roman sternness, vigor and tenacity characterise all their" methods and work and they arc resolutely build ing a commercial, industrial and manu facturing city that begins to bear the impress of, and will worthily represent the strongest features of our advancing and progressive civilisation. It is as suring to the visitor to pass a week in a city that betrays No Sign of Doubting or waiting, but everywhere token of sublime" faith restless energy. To one gives j and whose nature is mainly turned to the minor key, and whose love of sentiment is all absorbing, the busy, bustling life of the city of Raleigh may seem a trifle stern and brusqxie, but eren a nature east in this mould must admire the cour age"' and self-assertion of these strong w orkers, who live, love and labor in the stern realism of a creative and intensely practical life. Great enterprise and boundless public spirit are stamped on erery feature of the city. The people are for everything that promises to build up and strengthen tlieir city. Raleigh. " the capital of 2forth Carolina, and one of the, progressive manufacturing cities of the State, stands to-day a thor oughly wide-awake commercial and manufacturing center of the State a thrifty city, backed by men of brains, pluck-and perseverance, who have confi dence in their location, appreciate its natural advantages and "surroundings, and are not afraid to expend their time and risk their capital in the development of them. Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina, the eminty seat of Wake county, and ' is one of the lest of Southern cities. Here the manufacturer will find the (choicest of sites for manufacturing plants of all kinds, with all the neces sary advantages to be found in metro politan cities. Ralf igh's Manufacturing and Developing Agencies are most advantageously -located as to raw material supply, fuel, climatic con ditions and railway facilities for trans portation. Raleigh has now earnestly and enthusiastically entered upon the manufacturing era and diversified in dustries. Both large and small have opened into existence under the incen tives and inducements offered to capital and labor by the enterprise and liber ality of her citizens. The following are some of the manufacturing and develop ing agencies of our city: The Mills Manufacturing Co., manu facturers of lumber, mouldings, wagons and supplies of that nature, with, a capi tal stock of $:0,000. This factory gives employment to forty employees and pay annually salaries amounting to $10,000. They do an average business of about $75,000 per year. Mr. Jno. A. Mills, the president of this company, says that the business this fall has been much better than he ex pected, and he is making preparations to do the largest business in 1898 that has yet been recorded by his company. '. The Farina Rolling- Mills manufac tures flour, meal, bran and feedstuffs. Their capital s,tock is $15,000. This mill has a capacity of 100 bar rels per day, and is fitted up with all the latest improvements in rolling mill machinery. They do an annual business of about $100,000. The busi ness of this company is double this year what it was last, and is increasing each month in a most satisfactory manner. , The. Caraleigh Mills Company manu factures fine ginghams, staples, fine suit ings, and such goods as are 4 manufac tured by a first class cotton mill. The capital stock of this company is $150, 000. They employ 250 operatives and pay nut in salaries $50,000 per year. This nill is fitted up with a complete English dial system and finishing plant. They manufacture goods from the raw cotton ready for the counter. They make one hundred and fifty varieties of gingham dress goods. ' The mill operates 204 Crompton looms, four by six box, and 7,380 spindles. They do an average business of about $175,000 per annum. They also operate in addition to their cotton mill, a large brickyard with a ca pacity of 2,000,000 brick per year. They build their own tenant houses, and give their operatives the best of care and at tention. Adjoining the mill, they own and operate a 200 acre farm, where they grow cotton in the raw state, and make it up into cloths. Mr. F. O. Moring, the Secretary and Treasurer of this institution, said that the company was anticipating a heavy winter and spring business, that orders were coming in in a very satisfatcory manner. The Caraleigh Phosphate and Fertil izer Works is the largest plant of the kind in the State. ; They manufacture all kinds of fertilizers, and have their own sulphuric acid plant, they are equipped with all modern improvements in fertilizer machinery, and - have a capacity of 20,000 tona , of complete fertalizer, per year. Tie capital stock of this company is $200,000. "They em ploy about 150 hands, and pay out in salaries per annum about $30,000. They do a business of about $400,000 per an num. vine stock ojr. tnls company is owned princinallv bv local eanitalists. - x Mr. A. L. Ckamberlain, secretary and treasurer of the company, says that the company has done a very satisfactory business this year, and the season of 1898 promises to be tp to the mark, and expects Ihe business to come close to a half milion dollars. This is one of the largest Manufacturing enterprises in the State. The North Carolina Building Supply Company, manufacturers of all kind of lumber and bnildiog materials, have a capital of $30,000, employ 40 hands, and pay out is salaries about $10,000 per an num. Their annual ' business amounts to about $50,000. They report an in-, creasing business for this fall, and an ticipate a larger business for '98. The Raleigh Cotton Mills, manufac turers of hosiery yarns. This is one of the largest industries of the kind in the South. They employ 130 operatives and pay out annually ia sal aries about $30,000, They use 4,000 bales of cotton "annually. They operate 10,100 spindles, and man ufacture about 1,500,000 pounds of yarn per year. The value of their produc tion per annum is elose to a quarter of a million dollars. .The capital stock of this mill is $15t,000. Mr. J. 8. Wynne, the Secretary and Treasurer says, their fall ' business has been very good indeed. They are run ning the mill at full time and preparing for a large increase of business during the coming year. The Pilot Cotton Mills, owned by James IT. and W. H. Williamson are manufacturers of colored shirtings, etc. This mill employs 175 operatives, using 2,000 bales of cotton annually and they operate 8,000 spindles and have 204 looms. They pay out annually rnany thousands of dollars to em- ployees. - This is one of the largest pri vate mills in the State. Jos. E. Pogue's Tobacco Factory, manufacturers of fine plug toaacco. This is an extensive, factory with a ca pacity of 150,000 pounds per annum Capt Pogue employs 45 hands and pays out in salaries about $25,000, per an num. This factory has turned out goods that have won nine gold medals and twelve diplomas for the excellent quality of the tobacco manufactured. T. L. Eberhardt's Lee Factory, an ex tensive business in this line is done in this city. Mr. Eberhardt owns and oper- ' ates two large plants, having a total capacity of twenty-five tons daily. Ice is manufactured here in quantities that supply both the wholesale and retail trade of the city, and shipments are are made to other towns in the State. The Allen & Cram Machine Works is an extensive institution, manufacturing all kinds . of machinery, both large and small. The volume of business done by this firm' is very heavy. They em ploy about tweuty-five men, and pay out about $10,000 per annum in salaries. We have in our city three candy fac tories A. D. Royster & Bro., Barbae & Pope, and Charles Bretch. These firms manufacture about $35,000 worth of candy per annum. Thair goods are sold all over this State and in several otflier Southern Statws. Another manufacturing industr' which is quite large is that of blank . books. There are three big firms in this city who manufacture these books E. M. Uzzcll, Edwards & Broughton and Guy V. Barnes. They ship blank hooks all over the State. This business amounts to about $30,000 per annum. We have a cigar factory here, which is owned by J. M. Norwood, where choice cigars are manufactured. This business amounts to about $25,000 per annum. Raleigh also has a furniture factory. The Ruffin Roles Furniture Co. They do quite a manufacturing business which amounts to several thousand dollars per annum and gives employment to a large force of workmen. In addition to this Raleigh lifts many manufacturing advantages.5 It has been asserted that factories must be situated in or near a district possess ing inexhaustible sup'plies of cheap coal. We have plenty of this article within a few miles. In the districts having coal and iron the people must rely on other sections for their raw cotton and other materials. While mindful of the fact that coal and iron act as powerful magnates in attract ing an industrial population and form the basis of success in manufacturing operations, when these can be cheaply and abundantly supplied, it is also true and mav it be cited in contradiction and exception to this rulev the New England mills and factories have been erected on sites possessing abundant water power but no coal. We have both. If the people of New England can grow woalthy and independent by trans porting the raw material thousands of miles, why could we not become equally as wealthy and independent with the raw material in limitless quantities, which can be had almost under the shadow of the factory walls. Viewed from any standpoint the opportunity which presents itself to Raleigh for rapid industrial developmont is encour aging. In no town in the South will capitalistsind a safer and more profit able field for investment. In Conclusion. It may be said in all candor that Raleigh possesses all the elements essen tial to a steady growth on a lasting foundation. As a class the people are intelligent and highly esteemed. The Bryan-Anti-Bryan Victory In Nebraska. From the Washington Post. "The recent victory of the fusionists in Nebraska," said Editor Edward Rose- water, of the Omaha Bee, at the Nor mandie, "was in no sense a victory for Bryanism. It was a protest of the vot ers against the disgraceful boodlerism that had characterized State and muni cipal officials who happened to be Re publicans. t ,The State treasurer, the State auditor and the city treasurer of Omaha had all been guilty of purloining the public funds, and the Republican party had to suffer for their sins. The voters thought that the best way to re buke such conuuet was to defeat the party to which these -men belonged, and there was no thought of any other issue. Mr. Bryan, of course,' claims the fusion success as a personal triumph, but those who know the real conditions in Ne braska laugh at his pretensions." -V I MARKET No 'New Developments in Cotton Yesterday. , .? ; THE CLOSING IRREGULAR.

"The Balance of trade." From the Toronto Globe. The idea that a balance of trade can be favorable or unfavorable in itself rests on that old basic fallacy of. the mercantile school a fallacy responsible for every protection measure, from laws against the export of gold to tariffs on imports the idea that the nation is a trading corporation buying goods abroad and selling them again at a profit or a loss. Accepting that fallacy as truth, it follows that when ex ports are greater- than imports business is profitable, and when imports exceed exports there has been a loss or unfavorable-balance." From that po sition it is easy to argue that the gov ernment should make business profita ble, should increase exports Ivy the use! of stimulating bonuses, or should de crease imports by obstructive laws agaimtt the incoming goods or outgoing gold. The nation has no commercial existence. It neither sells nor buys. Exports are not its sales, neither are imports its purchases A balance of trade between ex ports and imports cannot be, in itself, either favorable or unfavorable. Trade is always between individuals, and the great bulk of it is never recorded by statisticians.- Individuals really ex change the things they produce for the things they want to consume. That is commerce. A comparative few of these exchanges are made across na tional boundaries, and they are recorded as exports and imports and imports. To decide whether any aggregate is faborable or otherwise would require an expert scru tiny of every transaction. As every man pays for his purchases with his products, imports are paid for with ex ports. Eliminating all forms of debt, every nation would import more than it exported, transportation giving an ad ditional value in every case. Desks Needed by Conaressmen. From the Philadelphia Record. . : , Speaker Reed again speaks of the desks in the House of ' Reprrsentatives as a serious obstruction to business.Mem- bers of the House are engaged at their desks in private correspondence when they should be attending to the public affairs that come before them. Since a steering, committee, of which the Speaker is chairman, cuts out all the business and decides what measures de serve consideration and what shall be taboed, the House has well-nigh ceased to be a deliberate body. In such a condition of things the average member would find the time hanging heavily on his hands if he should be de prived of his convenient desk. Kansas City's fire engine houses are numbered from one to eighteen, but there is no number thirteen.

Speaking of the big hat-in-the-theater nuisance, the Philadelphia Times says "there will always be rolgarians among men, but pubis: sentiment now so clearly sustains the removal of the high hat in the theater that the ushers of every place of amusemes-t can be safe ly instructed to notify every one in the audience who wears an obstructive hat to remove it as soon as the play begins. No self-respecting woman would permit henself to .bo twice requested to avoid such an exhibition of vulgarity.". That is right. The big hat In the theatre is a sign of the vulgarity of its Wearer. Look out for them. , Jfeatness, whentnoderate, is a virtue; but when carried to an extreme it nar rows the mind. C. F. and Y. Y. Railway Co. JOHN GILL, Receiver.. CONDENSED SCHEDULE.
