And the
AGRICULTURAL TR0SPESITY.
Our is an agricultural people,
land the success of agriculture is at
tbe base of 'business prosperity in
all its departments.
Of all men farmers are most de
pendent upon the legitimate results
of their labor. In every other pur
suit speculation has a wider range,
and ingenuity a broader field. On
every hand we hear of agricultural
depression. Not one farmer in a
hundred talks of agricultural pros
perity. It is useless to speak of an evil
without suggesting a remedy. We
are lnlly aware that what we shall
say has often been better said, bat
Bince today is the repetition of
yesterday, and tomorrow will be
but another revolution of the wheels
of Time, what was true yesterday
is true today, and will be true tomorrow.
Agriculture is suffering from
partisan legislation in the CoDgress
of the United States. The present
laws discriminate against the far
mer in many ways, most manifestly
in placing too high a tariff upon
the implements he uses and the
clothes he wears.
The demonetization of silver is
injurious to agricultural prosperity
in that it withdraws from the
channels of trade a large amount
of capital that is legitimately the
property of the people. In many
of tbe vocations of life commercial
paper is made, to answer the de
mands of business, but with tbe
farmer spot cash is an absolute
essential.
That farmers should be restless
under this condition of affairs is
most natural, but we beg leave to
submit that it is unfair to condemn
both political parties and assert
that agricultural redemption re
quires alike tbe overthrow oi tbe
Republican and the Democratic
party.
It is the unfaltering determina
tion, as it has been the constant
effort, of the , Democratic party to
remove the burdens that oppress
the farmers and hinder agricultural
prosperity; but not for one hour
since tbe war has the .Democratic
party had possession of the Govern
ment. It is now, and always has
been, the party of the people, and
nothing can drive it from the great
principles of justice and equity,
without which Liberty and Union
are glittering delusions that "keep
the word of promise to the ear, and
break it to onr hope."
Passing over questions that are
involved in party politics, we ven
ture to assert that tbe agricultural
prosperity of Narth Carolina is
largely dependent upon ' the aban
donment of the custom of culti
vating lands in large tracts, and
the adoption of the plan of divid
ing them into small farms, every
acre of irhich is kept in perfect
order and brought np to the highest
production.
The poorest people, those who
have the least ready money and
rribon whom the.' cares of life' fall
iVith the most crashing weight, are
the large land owners, who have
no other resources than their lands
and are dependent upon hired
labor for its cultivation. ''Is it
not then the part of wisdom for the
large land owners to recognize the
fact that the cultivation of large
areas of land under the present
system of labor almost invariably
entails loss T That to retain it idle
and uncultivated, brings annually
a debt in the shape of taxes with
Scarcely ever any compensatory
return in the enhancement of its
value, and that the only escape
from the horns of the dilemma is
to sub-divide the large tracts into
courage t li at makes misfortune the
steppiog stone to greatness. What

patronage for her treaties. They

With sablime faith in God and
man let the South move forward,

A Lady's Reasons for not Dancing.
Dancing would lead me into
crowded rooms and late hours,
which are injurious to health and
usefulness.
Dancing will lead me into very
close conract with pernicious com
panj; and evil communications
corrupt good manners.
Dancing would require me to use
and permit freedom with the other
sex, of which 1 should be ashamed,
and which I believe to be wroDg.
My parents and friends would
be anxious about me if I were out
late, keeping company with they
knew not whom.
Ministers and good people gen
erally disapprove of dancing, and 1
think it is not safe to set myself up
against them. If a thing be even
looked upon as doubtful I wish to
be on the safe side.

"Bishop Lvman, of North Caro
lina, in a recent interview resents
with considerable warmth the im
putation which has been put upon
the people of his State that the
exodus of the colored people from
North Caroliua is due to the hos
tility or persecution on the part of
the whites. He says that the
movement West originated wholly
with tho railroad agents, and he
cites an instance where one agent
had beeu tbe lneaus of sending
fully 30,000 negroes out of the
State, on whom ho received a com
mission of a dollar a head,
'Of course the agents have no
further interest in the matter than
the commissions they make, and
the colored people who find them
selves damped out upon tbe cold
charities of the world in Kansas
or elsewhere have no remedy for
the imposition practiced upon them,
and are in most cases una' le to
pay their way back again.
"We" cannot see that there is any
remedy for this s6teai of extor
tion and deception, excepting as
the negroes come to realize it by
experience and themselves call a
halt to this blind sort of emigration.
The State, not beiDg unwilling to
part with the colored people, es
pecially the poorer classes, can
hardly be expected to take action
in the matter ; but, so far as can be
learned, the white citizens are not
encouraging the railroad ecalpers
in their nefarious business, ana as
a rule the two races get along quite
peaceably together.
''The change to new scenes and
associations is no doubt of advan
tage to the uegroes who have the
means of support, or opportunities
presented, of which they can make
profitable use, but the course pur
sued by the railroads in persuading
the indigent and ignorant to leave
their homes, under false induce
ments of prosperity and abundance
of employment at the other end of
the line, is a species of inhumanity
for which there ought to be some
check."

to two hundred acres, and sell them

proved, and the material prosperity

There is no higher quality than
courage. Among all nations and
at all times it has ranked with tbe
noblest virtues. Physical courage
is an essential element of fame ;
moral courage lays hold upon im
mortality. In no period of the world's his
tory has there been a more impera
tive demand for courage than there
is at present.
Leaving the wide field that
covers the civilized world, we come
o speak of America in general,
and the Southern States especially.
Is there need of more courage in
America, this boasted "land of the
free and home of tbe brave T" Not
of the courage of the battlefield,
for no other people are more glori
ous in the ranks of war than the
people of these States; but in the
higher qualities of moral courage,
calm resolve and resolute action in
behalf of what is right and in de
fiance of what is wrong.
Tbe good of the present, no less
than the prosperity of the future,
demands consecration to truth,
justice and right in every Bphere of
being and department of activity.
Oppressive tariffs, unjust discrimi
nations, grinding monopolies, or
whatever else binds the limbs,
fetters the minds, debases morals
or locks the wheels of progress
must be opposed with dauntless
courage. We do not mean robbery
of the rich, or the confiscation of
their wealth, but we do meau
equality of citizenship and tbe re
wards of labor as the inalienable
right of every American.

Export and Finance, March 15. 1890
One of the most serious difficul
ties which has heretofore con
fronted American manufacturers
and merchants in their efforts to
secure a Bhare of the trade of
Spanish America has been the fact
th u the people of the southern half
of the continent really did not
know what we had to sell. The
American drummer is practically
an unknown quantity south of the
City of Mexico, whilst on the other
hand, all the centres of trade in
Mexico, Central and South America
literally swarm with commercial
travelers sent out by German, Eng
lish and French business houses.
Every trader in Spanish America
knows what he can hnr f, nr.
English, German or French con
cern, and if he has any idea at all
of the magnificent products of the
factories and mills of this country,
it is a very hazy and indefinite
one. To remedy this state of
things is one of the most important
and essential needs of onr growing
commerce in the countries nf th
south of us.
A step in the right direction and
oue that will without doubt lead to
a commendable increase in our I
commercial dealings with Spanish)
America, has just been taken hv
the American Export and Trading
uwpttu, at xo. o fowling Green,
New Yoik. The managers of this
company have decided to establish
in the City of Mexico and Buenos
Ayres branch agencies with large
and well conducted public ware
houses attached, where American'
goods can be seen and sold by
sample. The agencies will be un
der the charge of men thoroughly
conversant with the needs of the
bpanish American trade and peo
ple, and this exhibition of the pro
dace and manufactured goods of
this country will be among the
most important incentives to closer
commercial and trade relations.
Other branches of the Export
and Trading Company will soon be
established at all the important
centres of trade in Mexico, Central
and South America, so that manu
lacturers and merchants who have
hitheito been obliged to refrain
from all attempts at seeking a
market for their goods in the
southern portion of the continent
will thus have an onnortnnirv to
make known to the people there
the goods and merchandise which
they desire to place upon those
markets.
In connection with this new un
dertaking, and an important addi
tion to it, the Company propose to
6end out through these countries a
number of energetic, intelligent
and pushing commercial travelers,
wno win seek trade and a market
ior the goods which mav be con
signed to the warehouses of the
various agencies of the Company
in Spanish America. They will be
men thoroughly conversant; with
the needs of those nations, ac
quainted with the language and
customs of the people and in com
mercial sympathy with them.
Tho whole project ia a magnifi
cent one apdwill commend itself
not Ifhe merchants and
maasTTJlof this country, but
Vfr'-Sr and merchants of
SpV. " rica, to whom it will
be tZTQ'Jl great a benefit as to
thet W'rfcial interests of the

Ethel (to paterfamilas, who has
just said grace) "S'cuse me. papa ;
is it gram'ical to say Amen ?"
A Presbyterian church in Mel
bourne has' introduced some inno
vations into its services, which,
although happily blending patriot
ism and piety, would startle the
sober minded Scotchman at home.
The choir, composed of gentlemen
wearing the Highland kilt and girls
attired in the costume of the Lady
ot the L3ke, sing their hymns of
praise to the music of tbe bag
pipes. Tho ingenious person who
contrived these effects has his re
ward in greatly enlarged congregations.

The Easter number of the Xtw
York Ledger is rendered especially
attractive by an uncommonly beau
tiful cover printed in colors. The
central design is a picture of Easter
morning in the couutry. the road to
church, with a border of Easter
lilies. This number contains the
first chapters of a nevr story by
Amelia E. Barr, entitled, "The
Household of McNeil," which opens
well, and bids fair to rival ' Jan
Vedder's Wife," so far the best
known ot Mrs. Barr's romances.

All medical authorities agree that
catarrh is no more nor less than an in
flammation of the lining membrane of
lha nasal air passages. Nasal catarrh
and all catarrhal affections of the head
are not diseases of the blood, and it is a
serious mistake to treat them as such.
No conscientious physician ever at
tempts to do so. It is held by eminent
medical men that sooner or later a spe
cific will be found for every disease
from which humanity suffers. The
facts justify us in assuming that for
catarrh at least a positive cure already
exists in Ely's Cream Balm-
Rejected (Jems.
It is a matter of history that
some ot tho finest poetry ever
written has had a narrow escape
from the "limbo of things lost on
earth." One of tho greatest poets
that ever lived came within an
ace of being the ''mute, inglorious
Milton,'' for his almost divine epic
found little favor with the book
sellers of his day, aud was finally
sold for about the sum which a
first class poet ol the present day
would expect for a poem of forty or
fifty lines. Iu that day, as in ours,
every leading publishing hoase
"kept a critic," ou whose fiat the
fate of an author's manuscript
depended; and then, as now, the
"readers" of such establishments
sometimes made terrible mistakes.
It is our deliberate opinion that
had the "Paradise Lost" been sub
mitted to certain regularly em
ployed critics of the present time,
instead of to the Grub street gen
tlemen of the seventeenth century,
it would have been pronopneed, as
of yore, a "dull and tedious produc
tion." Byron, as we all know, was
mereile86ly snubbed by the literary
Jupiter of the Edinburgh Review;
and the Kev. Charles Wolfe's
exquisite "Ode on the Burial ol
Sir John Moore" was so scornfully
rejected by a leading periodical of
tbe time that tbe author, in send
ing it to a provincial Irish news
papertimidly withheld his name,
lest he should be cauterized bv the
press. But tbe public, a better
critic than any cynic in "foolscap
uniform turned up with ink,"
unexpectedly fraDked him for lm
mortality.
There is an enormous amount of
hnmbng in modern criticism quite
as much ;is in the criticism of days
gone by. Thu fact is, that the
ability to dcoide intelligently
wnetner a wort win succeed or
fail, is not an art but a gift, and
very few possess it. Mere book
men know very little about the
tastes of tbe community. If you
want an "opinion as is an opinion'
on what you have written, go to a
man who understands buman na
ture, ana though he may never
have seen the inside of a college
he will be apt to tell you truly
now toe woria will receive your
oflenng.
