New Bern New Bern, N. C. May 8. lWfi. THE TARIFF IN PROSPERITY AND DISTRESS The proposal to admit free of duty, the steW to be used in the re-const ruc tion of San Francisco, brings forward some pretty fine distinctions, to deter mine the difference of the American CDoeumer being taxed with a high pro tective tariff to keep up the millionaire class of industrial magnaes during'sea ttoM of prosperity, and the letting in free the same article because some dis aster has occurred, which simply means Ike giving up of an excessive profit on the part of the Trust which manufac tures steel. As after the disaster to Portland in I860, and to Chicago in 1871, so to San Francisco, is this so-called magnan fuoua proposal being suggested, to temporarily do justice to the American coosnmer, that is, not compel the con sumer to add extra profits to the steel trust. The argument that a high tariff gives ywjsporoua times, is an argument which is ever employed to prevent tariff re duction on most articles, 'or its abolition The cry of high tariff always says look at the working man, do you want to drive him to want, and while the work ingman's extra prosperity through high tariff may be a dollar a day more in fs wages, what is his proportionate extra cost of living? No one figures on this, nor is the calculation made how many millionaires are being made on this same high tariff schedule. Just how American workmen are act ual gainers, when they assist in manu facturing any article which is sold in foreign countries at ten to fifty per cent less than it is sold to the con tainer in this country, is rather hard to . figure out As to the trust which sells the luanOtK&ired article, it is no trou tie to sea how it rtMJSjjhe benefit, and On give the extra ten cenJgn hour to the maker to reap its tremen3uuS iberease from the article protected by the excessive tariff. If the San Francisco disaster will precipitate the question of a complete tariff revision, and lead to its removal an many articles, there will be one blessing accomplished through earth quake and fire, which will prove of value in the future to the masses of this country. EASY ACCEPTANCE OF DANGERS. That mankind so easily accepts dan gers of every degree, those which fiireaten. f rom within in the shape of microbe and germ, and from without, perils on land and sea, fire, earthquake and storm, proves the salvation of the race, for its futurity, for if there Bhould once come the fear of all these dangers, threatening, sapping and destroying life, then would progress cease, and the future would be a blank so far as devel opment, went. The majority of mankind go even be yond the easy acceptance of the know ledge' that danger exists on every side, and destruction comes to man without the invitation, for when disaster, in hws of fortune, no matter (from what cause, comes, and even loss of limb or life occurs, yet is there hope in the sur vivor, and a uick turning again to re cover the fortune lost, or repair the hiss to the physical, and to those sur viving the dead, a recovery from the shock, and the resumption of life's work.';' ' -'. ; . v." Those who live In what are regarded safe lands, free from pestilence, vol cano earthquake and dangers which pay be held as normal, these people la the so-called safe countries, are of ten tried by disasters, which while ab normal, make up in destructivenesa to fe and property. But a Vesuvius, with its eruptions .cannot drive man m Its tides and base. Earthquakes will obliterate Lisbon or San Francisco Fl 6ls cannot force people to give up the rich bottom lands along the great rivers of the world, ", People take dangers as a matter of course, and when they come, lace, them in calmness, and boldly resume oper ations, once the calamity has passed. The lesson for every one is to study the risks that ny occur, and strive to make them as harmless as possible in their effect, when they do come, pre serving all the time a norma land healthy body, with a mind philosophical, which will not be upset in the hour of trou ble. A LOCAL NEED IS INTELLIGENT CO-OPERATION. New Bern, its citizens, are held by many outside towns and their people, as community which is against every thing, specially corporations. The roa-. son inr this outside judgment of New Hern is only in degree, the truth, for no community is more generous when just appeals are made upon its people, nor is any people more loyal to its friends, than the people of this city. The an tagonisms are always prominent which this community engages in, yet with the strength of being good fighters, no people arc so easily won over, if there he the disposition of good fellowship sought instead of combat, on the part of any opponent. Two local conditions have existed, which have given New Bernians prom inence as being fighters on seeming slight provocation. The first is the mis fortune of local political environment which has pressed upon this city and section, taking precedence, .and causing important trade- and industrial condi tions to be kept back, until the political matter was. determined. The change in political environment. Jus and is changing the local ' situation, giving men the chance to look at the practi cal side, and not be kept in check by political antagonisms, and with the lapse of time the local spirit which has exulted in strife, is giving place to a disp sition to arbitrate or confer, first, before entering upon contentions. The second ' .condition, operating against the material and industrial prosperity of New Bern, is the lack of local organization, co-operation of its citizens upon a basis which meant a standing together as citizens unselfish in desire to promote community up building, eager and anxious to deserve the reputation of being locally patri otic, filled with civic pride, and loyal to the advancement of every local im provement. The necessity of the hour, if New Bern is to advance educationally and industrially is the sincere and generous co-operation of its every citizen. This is no time for the individual to stand alone, for personal selfishness to at tempt to reap personal benefits. The -4 opportunities presenting themselves to day, are too great for the individual to grasp, instead the efforts in hearty co-operation of every man, woman and child, is demanded, for with this eor operation great gains can be secured jains which will give splendid and rich returriSand these can be shared by evj ery citizen, uls wKre.or New ReTnr ians to strike, but the raovefJtmust be in unselliish and patriotic co-opera turn.
