WILL OUTSIDERS CONTROL BAIL "' ; ROAD STOCKS! 1 The recent declines In all kinds of stocks and bonds in Wall street, has not been one where the worthless, 1 In real value, have fallen so much in price, ofr many of the most solid rail road stocks and Industrial properties, have declined 100 points. In all this decline there has been noted a con- tinuat buying of these well known properties, stocks of railroads that have always paid dividends, by small investors, who have purchased in lots tf from three to fifty shares. The books of money of the larger rail road companies are interesting, in Bhowing these transfers of stocks to small holders during the passed few weeks. It is found in many companies that the number of stockholders have doubled, and some times more than doubled. What does all this portend? j is the small investor buying for spec-l ulatlve purposes, believing that the dividend paying stocks, will soon move upward again in price? This does not seem the probable reason. No specu lator buys five of even fifty shares of stock, for an advance of ' ten or twenty points. In fact, the buyers of stocks in these small amounts are persons who have purchased for cash, and carried away the certificates. The speculator, usually, takes his deal on a margin, and his broker carries the stock. Therefore the present buyers are those seeking investments, and blievlng In the properties represent ed by the certificates of stock, are putting away their purchases, to draw interest upon them. : ; v In the aggregate, these purchases represent millions. And in this con nection may not these absorptions of j stocks, lead to less speculative ac tivity In them in the future, and those who conduct their management be forced to act very differently, to free these properties from all speculative Influences, and run them strictly a long legitimate and commercial lines. THE LOSS CAUSED BY INSUFFI CIENT LIGHT SERVICE. If ever a people, paid dearly for in dulging in so-called economy, the cit izens of New Bern have In their muni cipal ownership of electric light sys tem. The first Installment of a nlant was made with the apparent thought of how little service- might be given. The plant was Inadequate at the very first to meet local requirementsand that those who took what was said to be a "service" never received what they paid for, is known best by those so deluded. In, the service to real- aences and stores, which has been a failure, Is to be added the service on! the streeta For some time It has been a grim Joke, to call the street electric lights, a moonlight service," which interpretated meant that every night was moonlieht. therefore no need of street llehu.

The present holiday season la not the first Last 'yanr' and' before that,' many" nights found dark streets, and stores lighted by some improvised light, in the at tempt to do business. - The dismal.

And be B,de. th. i, .haence of buyers, hun- dreds of outsiders who with a; well lighted city would have been here, and (bought supplies, and goods, were kept away. - It " Is hardly an exaggerated estimate to say, that the local trade f ,uffer . losa of I .. . .. . .. aiuu.uuv, inrougn me attempt ai muni cipal electric' lighting. , This ;? loss, while now passed,; must be added to by the loss trade which passes, when It cannot be served. There la prom ised better lights. These are greatly needed,, but the losses already made can v never : be : made ;. good no matt er how efficient any future electric light 8ervlce may 'be A CHANGE NEEDED IN HOLIDAY Buirae The month of December means sev- cral thlnW ts al retail busloeM trade. It is a season when specially new and attractive- goods are pre sented to buyers. v It is a period of the year when the retail merchant hopes to have both extra sales and make sales, that will yield good pro fits. There are two kinds of sales. The first is for not over thirty days time, and for cash.. The second is a sale that is a book account, and only collectible through a collector, from the store. '; Large sales, do not mean Proniaoie nusmess, unieiw wey are ' of the first kind. And yet too many merchants will every season fill their stores with fresh and attractive wares, and send these wares out, and carry the accounts of customers on their books tor months, to whom they sold the goods. Every merchant knows that this Is not good business. The merchant who gives long credits has no profits. It is the exchange of goods 'from the wholesaler, through the ( retailer, to the consumer, with the second party, the retailer, wear ing away his life and capital, with out the chance of saving either. Christmas holiday buying s too of ten conscienceless. It la done , with the almost, certain, knowledge that the expenditure la beyond the means of tb buyer; It Is' a Jcfedlt asked for that means' positive loss to th mer chant , It is a credit .granted on the part, of the. merchant who Jacks cour age to deny it A new system of trade lsdemahded for the coming hol iday season, and, tor every day in the year. It Is a jtradebetween the mer chant and consumer, founded upon mu tual respect and strict business regu lations. The profit In the retail mer cantile trade la not large. With ex tended credits, goods have to be mark ed up In order to cover possible losses, the cost ot collection, and Interest which must be counted - in - delays. Every merchant will sell goods low er, if upon a cash basis. In fact every consumer that pays cash, gains. The slow, and honest payers of long credit accounts, pay extra for goods. What better time, than the' present, to inaugurate this ne trade system the practical, abolishinc of Jong cre dits, and the parcnaso 'of goods up- on a basis that can be' reckoned as cash..

There was a series of great battle i UsTyear between-the railroads bmJJ the peopie, an dihe defeat of the )e. j pie was accomplished witii Lprr!U:a slaughter; and 6,000 dead "were found on the battle fields and -also 76.2S1T maimed and wounded. The Inter state Commerce Commission bulletin on ralroad accidents dnring the year eadiac JunaiSO, last, gives this alarm ing,-list of ; the casualties which are vastly more than for the previous year Can nothing be done to prevent this! appalling loss of life and !lmby the railroads?7 Detective rails is i said to be responsible for much of the slaugh ter, and the fiteel Trust in its an xiety to make bit profits is selling defective- steel 'rails and" Is therefore, to blame as much a the railroads which; accept these detective' rails. The Republican tariff which pro tects the Steel Trust virtually offers a premium on detective rails by pre venting competition. The tariff, duty on stert rails Is $7.84 per ton, and on the small quantity Imported last year, which cost $23.68 per ton In the coun try where manufactured,' was e qua) to an ad valorem tariff tax of. 83.44 per cent With the tariff tax added to the cost,' reaving out 4he freight and other expenses of fmportatioh, the cost was $31.38 per ton on Imported rails. At pthe same" time the price the Steel Trust" charged was - $28 per ton at VlttsDurg. K The difference ot $4.63 per ton between the price of steel rail abroad and here represents the extra tax the tariff protects the trust in collecting, over add above, the' good, round ' profit the trust would make without the tariff protection. There Is no complaint that English and Bel glum steel rails are defective; and toe fact that comparatively" no acci dents -from defective rails Is attribut ed to that cause; abroad, show the criminal capacity of the Steel Trust here, although ' President Roosevelt views that corporation aa a ' "good trust" and takes counsel of the Steel Trust magnates Gary and Frlck and Carnegie: That - there Is a bond ot sympathy an Interlocking directory between the railroads and the Steel Trust that leads to the purchase ot these Imperfectly constructed rails In indicated . by the railroad managers paying the trust price without a mur mur.' If the tariff tat was abolished on steel rails there would be the In centive offered to the railroads of buying better rails at a much reduc ed ' price. ' Probably not another ton ot foreign rails would be Imported nu- der tree trade In rails, tor the truBt would either have to Improve the qual ity and reduce the price of the rails It manufactures to meet the .foreign competition, or lose the enormous rail business.- As It la officially recorded that! the trust could produce steel rails for '$,12 a ton, when labor and raw material waa perhaps 33 per 'cent less than now. It will be seen that 'the present price' being $28 per ton. As some people may urge that the price of rails hardly 'affects thK price of travel or goods, although in the end the people pay the coat, whatever tt is, It may be well to remember that all steel products' are protected by the tariff and the tariff ax on moat pro ducts greatly exceeds the S3 per cent on rails, and on some .steel articles ex eeeds 90 -per cent And yet the Re publicans1 have determined to stand- pat on the tariff until after the next election And then we may expect them 10 continue to stand-pat If that party aucceeeM '-aa such success will be considered an endorsement ot the pol icy of protecting the trusts, with no protest against the slaughter of the n protected people. 1 -: - ' " ' l' '' ) " " ' ' ' y '' ' i N'slsre- Gives Tlswly Warn lags That a Cltlsea of Kew Ben Caa f ABer te Igaere.
