THE AGRICULTURAL DEPART
MENT.

The State Chronicle, of Raleigh has
taken the time to investigate the
workings of the Agricultural Depart
ment and has presented to its readers
information which has long been de-
sired. but which heretofore seemed
unobtainable.
In very plain language the Chroni-
Gle tells The people just what the De-
partment is costing and what the cost
is for. It shows unbiasedly the good
the Department is capable of doing
and the amount of extravaganza it
has been guilty of.
A general ignorance as to the OPP
erations of the Department exists and
the Chronicle in thus tearing away
the veil, has done valuable service
to the people of North Carolina as we'll
as to the Democracy of the State
which certainly has no desire or in
tention to countenance any extrava-
gance, or wrong doing on the part of
any of its representatives in office.
The funds of this department is
raised by taxing fertilizer companies
that sell their goods in this State.
There are between seventy-four and
eighty-fve Of these companies each Of
which pays for its license the SUM OF
$500. This gives the Agricul-
tural Department from $40
600 to $4,000 for every year
A portion of this money is expended
with the motives of accomplishing
good purposes, but we fear the great
er part IS extravagantly spent. and
the record, as given by the Chronicle.
shows this to be the case.
| The expenditure made in the col
lection and arrangements of the States
exhibits at Boston and later at New
Orleans, though lavished in their
nature has resulted in widely adver
Using our State to the world.
| Because the present personnel of the
Department have brought down the
mighty indignation of the people up
on it, is no reason why it could mo-
be made more popular, practical and
servicable feature of our State gov
eminent, if conducted with wisdom
and economy, and the means of susten-
ance be changed to legislative ap
preparation, based upon the receipts
into the treasury and the needs ane
demands of the people. We regret
that our space will not permit US tt

occupied seven or eight columns.

Not in the last ten years has the

The Democracy have also profted
from lessons taught by history.

The Democracy have also profted
from lessons taught by history
Amongst other things there are two
which it has learned which are of
permanent Importance and veritable
significance. The first of these is
that the people are not so ready as
formerly to approve of niggardliness
in public expenditures. That as in
telligence has been diffused among the
people they are more appreciative
of the real wants of the coun-
try, of its growth and Importance
among the nations of the earth, and
of the necessity which exists for lib
eral appropriations in certain direc-
TONS not only for the purpose of pro-
noting prosperity at home, but of
maintaining our prestige abroad.
Hence the leaders Of the party in
Congress feel perfectly safe in making
largely increased appropriations for
the promotion of agricultural, com
merce and navigation, improving our
rivers and harbors, erecting public
buildings, increasing our army and
navy and strengthening our coast de-
| fences.
The second lesson which the Demo
cratic party has learned from history
is, that the people of this country are
ever ready to uphold and strengthen
the hands of the party which has a
vigorous, virile foreign policy, the
party which maintains the honor and
prestige of this country among the
nations of the earth, which increases
our power for offensive or defensive
war, and which, if occasion requires,
has the courage to wage war for the
accomplishment of our manifest des-
tiny" In short, the people will al
ways sustain the party which has war
policy, defensive or offensive, right or
wrong.
This has been amply proven
in the various wars in which this
country has been engaged. The Re
publican party was fully sustained
during the late war but it exhausted
its virility in that struggle and it has
since pursued foreign policy which
provokes the contempt Of the civilized
world and has left our country in such
defenceless condition that we de.
pend for our safety upon the forbear-
ance of the most insignificant power on
earth. All this will be the business
of the Democratic party to correct
first, by Strengthening our powers Of
defence, and second, by increasing
our power to wage offensive war if the
interest or honor of our country re
quires it. And it is safe to predict
that as soon as we are rescued from
our defenceless condition a foreign
policy will be inaugurated, which
will unite the Democratic party upor
Il platform which will relegate the
tariff and silver questions to compare
tive obscurity, and will be sustained
by the people with patriotic enthus
| iasin

THE POLICY OF THE TWO PARTIES

L
As is usual with parties in the mi
nority the Republican party will in
the future attempt to constitute itself
the great conservatory force in the
government. That is, it will offer an
active or passive opposition in any
radical change which may be propos-
ed by the Democracy, especially in
regard to the tariff and the monetary
system which now prevails. It will
not attempt to inaugurate any new
policy of its own, but will always
stand ready to encourage any extrav-
agance in public expenditures, for any
purpose whatever, which may be pro
posed by the Democracy, hoping to
profit by the mistakes which may be
made.
The eager readiness with which
it acceded to the change in the
rules of the House is an evidence %
this and it will be found as time passes
that enough Republican votes will al
ways be ready to carry any measure
looking to any increase in appropria
lions which may be proposed by the
various committees. The Republican
party has not failed to profit by the
experiences Of the past, and it knows
that the surest way to bring the party
| in power into disfavor with the people
is to convict it Of useless extravaganza
