1t is q fact which bothers many of our
economists that articles of common necessity
are very much higher in price in Dakota
thar in the states. One explanation of the
cause is the existence Of laws within our
territory which render the collection Of
debts practically impossible. The protec.
ton our statutes extend to our ci liens is
proving injurious to those whom it aims to
benefit. The dealer sells his wares On credit
or does not sell them at al. indebtedness
thus incurred is absolutely non-collectable
unless the party purchasing possesses sufi-
Gent honesty to square up his account.
Wholesale merchants at the east fully un-
derstand the situation here and in order 10
tecure themselyes as much As possible
against loss through disasters which may
come to our local dealers they are com.
PEELED to charges large advance upon cur
rent prices. Thus it happens that while
all merchandise at the east is down to bed
rock prices. the people of Dakota do NO
enjoy the advantage of this material reduc
ton. They are compelled to pay tribute
to an enactment which they imagine is 8
protection. This condition applies to al
classes of farm machinery and wagons, al
we'll as to articles of household use. 1t vii
be better for our people to consider both
sides of this question.

Al ! meeting Of The board Of health ~.
|terday . resolution was passed directilg q
reply. TO Messrs. Lane and Arnold, Abe
|chamber Of commerce COMMITTEES recently
in conference with the board on the subject
Of sugar adulteration.
Under his instructions the secretary will
to-day forward an answer to the chamber,
reciting that it was not deemed wise either
to ask 81. publish the namea upon the sam-
piles Of sugar analysed by DR.. Ricketts, until
the department has itself had samples, of
whose source and history there can be no
question. The resolution concludes in the
following language:
In the opinion Of this board, there 10 not
at present sufficient cause TO justify appre-
henslon on the part of the public Of i'll
effects from the use of refined sugar, and it
does not appear to be necessary to discrim-
mate between raw and refined sugars, for
both arc wholesome articles Of food. ~
Under the resolution Of December "a, di.
recting the sanitary superintendent to cause
analyses to be made from time to time of
the sugars and syrups sold in New York,
the inspections will be made in regular
course, by sanitary inspectors who are pub
lie officers, and it would moi, therefore, be
proper to use private funds for this purpose.
It is hoped that by their efforts the public
health will be duly protected, while, BY the
action which the chamber of commerce may
think it wise to take, the great interests Of
trade and commerce will be sufficiently
gu lrded.

The Department Of Agriculture and
b Fertilizer Tax.

In conversation with Governor Vance
soon after the bill was passed the writer dis
cussed ITS defects, and remarked that the
law would rather have a tendency 10 crush
the farmer than benefit. as certain wealthy
fertilizer companies would form a monopoly
and raise the scale of prices. This predic-
ton, to the sorrow of the farmer, has proven
too true. That it should be so is perfectly
reasonable. The profit on fertilizers, to our
personal knowledge, like all other eommodi-
ties at this time, is short. The reliable
companies are conducted strictly on the
principle of live and let live. TIcy canno,
dUord to pay a tar 81 fire hundred dollars a
gear and make no change IN their prices. To
even suppose that they would is most mex
cusable nonsense. Now let the Democrats
profit by the errors of the Wings. Instead
OF this Department benc6ting the farmer it
IS depressing him. de has to pay the bills
while the office holders. very numerous. re-
celve the only benefit in the shape of large
salaries.
While in Richmond last week we inter
viewed the President of one of the most
prosperous and popular fertilizer companies
IN the Union touching this tax. We asked
htm yhe objected to the fertilizer tar. lie
ansre'ed: No, do not object to the tar,
mt woutd be rery sorry to see It repealed.

besides.
| thought, and suggested to the company,
that the lack of competition would warrant
us in the move. Our sales last year and the
year before in your State were larger than
ever before, Notwithstanding the advanced
price. SO you see that the OF that IS gored
IN Mts case IS the Turner himself"
The landmark is now, ever has been, and
ever will be, the friend of the farmer. We
believe that above all other classes the in
terest of the farmer should be guarded. He
is the bone and sinew of the country. 1t is
in the interest of the farmer that we oppose
the present system of the Department of
Agriculture. We are not opposed to the
Agricultural Department generally, but only
to the present system, because no practical
benefit to the farmer accrues therefrom.
We have often proven it to be a fraud On
the farmer-the very class it was intended
to benefit. We now brand it a reproach
upon the Democratic party.-Statesville

For the FARMER AND MECHANIC
Jockeys Tricks.

Those tricks are not given for bad pur-
poses, or to learn every body how the tricks
are done, but to put honest farmers and
others on their guard from being imposed
on. The tricks can be told by the looks of
the skin, by feeling the bottom of the hoof,
by uneasiness of the horse, or, in some
cases, by the smell.
To make a horse feshy in a short time
Feed with buckwheat bran, to which add a
little of the shorts; keep in a dark stable.
Half a days drive will make a horse fattcd
in this way poor.
How to make a horse stand by his feed
and not eat it.-Grease the front teeth and
roof of the mouth with common tallow, and
he will not eat until you wash it off.
How to make a horse appear as if he had
the CHAMBERS. Melt fresh butter and pour
in his ears.
How to make a horse appear as if foun-
dered.-Take a fine wire, or any substitute,
and fasten it around the pastern joint at
night, smooth the hair down over it nicely,
and by morning he will walk as stiff as if
foundered.
How to make old horses appear young
Take %tincture of assaf9tida, one ounce /;
%tincture cantharides, one ounce; oil of
| cloves, one ounce oil cinnamon, one ounce !;
antlmOny, two ounces. fenugreek, one ounce ;
fourth proof brandy, one half gallon. Let
stand ten days, then give ten drops in one
gallon of water.
How to make a true pulling horse baulk.-
Take %tincture Of cantharides, one ounce !;
and corrosive sublimate, one drachm mix
and battle the shoulders at night.
How to distinguish between distemper and
| glanders.-The discharge from the nose, if
| clanders, will sink in water, if distemper it
will not.
How to make a foundered and spawned
horse 90 off Timber. Take ~tincture cayenne,
one ounce; laudanum, two ounces alcohol,
one pint mix, rub the shoulders we'll with
warm water, then rub the above On his
| shoulders and backbone; give him one
ounce of laudanum and one pint Of gin, put
it down his throat with a pint bottle; put
his feet in warm water as hot as he can bea:
it; take a little spirits Of turpentine, rub it
on the bottom part of his feet with a sponge
after taking them out of the water. Drive
him half or one mile until he comes out as
timber as a rag. If he does not surrender
to his pain, tie a thin cord around the end
Of his tongue. VICTOR.

SO, though only as q courtesy to as, which
we did not care to accept. Furthermore.
since we have seen the contract, we are still
more amazed that Gov. Jarvis. president
Kemp P. Battle, Col. T. NJ. Holt. Prof. W.
C. Kerr, and the other gentlemen of the

the Legislative Printing Committee did

the Constitution forbids the violation of
a contract. However, we personally are
not concerned one way or another.
Mai. Hale's reference to the Stronach's
so barrels of 1our is too absurd to notice.
Perhaps he aims to throw -four dust in the
eyes of the public ? Perhaps he has biscuit

Two Facts.

A pair Of items appeared in the press dcs-
patches last Sunday morning.
Look you upon this picture THE
United States Commissioner of Education
shows that the annual expense, per capita,
for public school pupils is lowest in North
Carolina, being $l.39." That is, North
Carolina spends less than any other State,
or territory, in the Union, for free public
education
And look upon this :-"North Carolina
has more licensed grain distilleries than any
other State in the Union, the record show
ing l65. against I49 in the State of Ken
lucky, which has the next largest number.
The States Of California, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, West
Virginia and Wisconsin, altogether, have
only % distilleries. All the distilleries III
North Carolina are in the western counties
Castor heading the list with 3d."

By~ Worse still, the $4,000 derived Ii
cense tax for liquor selling, hitherto devoted
to the free school fund 50 that the poor
children got some small fraction Of the
money drank up by their parents was last

Alex. NJ. Bradwell and Thomas Roseboro TO
Imprisonment for life in the penitentlary.
The leader of the gang, Millen, is still at
