raw material, wool, at nearly half what they paid
for it in 1889. Southern cotton, another of their
materials, has fallen in nearly like proportion IN
the same time: the prices in 1889 ranged from II
10 Ia cents; now they stand. at Z and y cents
Well may the manufacturers thrive, when they
can thus feed their workmen and get their raw
materials at such reduced prices But has it come
to this, that all other classes-and espeeiallysthe
farmers, the ship-owners, the sailors, and the mer
chants-must have their business embarrassed,
and their profits cut off nearly onehalf, to enable

z @ Our friend of the Register speaks some
what contemptuousigsin in his paper of the 18th
instant, of the number in attendance at the Demo
cratic State Convention. He says the delegates
cannot reach oO,"aincluding "the very numcr.
Gus delegation from thlscounty" Nov, the truth
is, the Democratic Convention had 146 in atten
dance, and not so many from this scounty, by four
teen, as the Wings had in their Convention. In
addition to this, there were only elevencounes in
our Convention representedby one member each,
while in the Whig Convention therewere trenty
three Counties represented, in this way. When
fgures spealslet the unfouuded calculations Of
the Editor be silent.
Another fact ought 10 be borne ia mind. It
reflects high credit upon the sterling democracy Of
Wake The Federalists appointed 157 delegates
to their Convention from Wake county; one hun
drcd and foe remained at home. The democrats
appointed so to their Convention, and, all but
twelve were in attendance upon its deliberations.
