SHUT YOUR EYES, FRIENDS
There was no ueed to throw dust" in
a~nybody's eyes in Raleigh last week ;
the dust throwed itself. and settled down
a peck % each man, and a petticoatful
for each woman. Two months OF RAIN
less skies, and ten thousand pairs OF
shunling feet, made an atmosphere con-
sisting oftwo parts sand 10 one part III
resembling a san-dblast, when
e~ngraycrs say i more deadly Than
even a steel chisel. This IS the sort u
weather that buried the huge pyramids, =
said Mr.. Bart Moore. rs he scooped a
Mother Hubbard b%onnetlul oil sand
out of is eyes. Then he showed US a
ciuarette-holdcr having a microscope
view Of the Rj.i Railway IN Switzerland
whence one can look upon miles on
miles of icy--lazier.
But coming back 10 the dust heat.
aud naturalization Of the past week,
we must ask the forbcarancc OF our
readers for a variety Of sins OF omission
and commission. a week o: public eX-
element in small towns like Raleigh X
more d~cmorallz.n4 10 newspaper offices
than any other Kind of business. The
demand for printers labor becomes
| greater, by reason OF the unusual rush
Of news and new advertisements while
the supply of such labor becomes less
than COMMON because Of the number Of
sccond-class workmen who yield to the
excitement and fall by the wayside."
The Farmer ant Mechanic having no
press of its own, and n job Office to
fall back upon for extra type settlers, is
sure to be a victim Of the times. Thus
we last week lost an entire day, and as
nearly ali the weekly routes 60 out on
Thursday morning, a large number of
our subscribers will be a week late in
getting their paper. This was owing
to the delay in getting ii printed the
DaiIy OJscrrcr having occupied its
press with an Extra - and The other
pressmcn being IA of place at the time.
Kindred causes OccasiOncd Il shower oil
typographical errors. We try TO give
our readers the latest news up To the
hour before the paper is printed. This
ueccssitatcs hasty work, and many
chances of error. The dropping out of
n word or even a letter while the page
full of type is being carried down street
often changes the whole sentence. II
we delay long enough to read each
word in the whole paper, we are liable
to miss the mails /; besides keeping the
FRESHMAN standing idle for hours.
These things are mentioned to show
some OF the difficulties in the way of
getting out a perfectly correct paper.
AT the same time we hope by increased
care to prevent them in future.
The article describing Alligator River
should have been credited TO +. City

DR.. Mott was from Wilmington RecieC.

WHAT THE TARIFF COSTS THE
PEOPLE.

The New York Times, q republican paper,
presents the matter in the following striking
nj
For instance. says the Times, q brosdcloth
dress suit which costs $50 in New York costs
only 81 in London.
A heavy business suit, which costs $50 in
New York, costs but $1S in London.
A spring serge overcast, which costs $40 in
New York, costs but % 50 in London.
A winter beaver overcoat, which costs $50
in New York, costs but ~ 80 in Londo1.
A silk hat, which costs, % IN New York,
costs but 90 in London.
These articles altogether cost in New York
$40. In London they cost but $6l. The
man who buys these clothes, therefore, in
New York, pays $79 more for them than be
could buy them for in London.
The Courier Journal, commenting on the
above, asks 'whatc causes the difference in the
two cities p and answers the question ener-
g~etically and pointedly as follows:
Our tariff.
mo one will dispute that, with the tariff re.
moved, the same goods can be purchased as

as eheaply plus the freight rates between the

simply S79 taken BY law from the man that
buys S61 worth Of clothes, and given TO the
man who makes cloth.
II the goods are manufactured abroad, S79
goes to q treasury which does not need it and
which can raise all the revenue it requires on
whisky, tobacco and articles Of luxury.
In either case the purchaser of the clothes
gets absolutely nothing for the $79 of the
$40 which he spends.
If on buying the clothes he had to pay $61
to the clothier, and $79 directly to 9 tax col
lector, how long would he stand such extor-
ton?
In result there is not a particle of differ
ence between that system and the present
tariff system, according to which he is thus
unnecessarily and exorbitantly taxed, not only
on his clothing but OF nearly every other
necessity of life.
