FEW COMPARATIVE WAGES.

a r n ~ VIVA @1AA-A - - " 49, @~tt
An over the world there are trades
or industries which are protected by
natural circumstances. That u.s. there
are industries which cannot be inter
fered with by competition from out
side, so far as sending in from for
eign country the particular work that
the met hanics ia said protected indus
tries make. For illustration q few
samples may be given, namely; A
stone wall, a plastered house, a painted
room, plumbers work on burst
pipe, etc. The nature Of the
articles or work mentioned
is OF such a character as TO render
their expectation or importation inn
practicable. When a stone wall is to
be built it must be erected on the spot;
when house is to be plastered or
painted the work must be done IN the
room OF that very house. Now, this
is protection as near psrfect as posi-
BILE. What is the RESULT We find that
masons, plasterers, plumbers and
painters in all countries Of the world
receive better wages than the workers
In any other industries that are not
protected in some manner.
Then there are trades only partly
protected by nature, more or less, as
the case may be, and they IN turn
receive better wages than those who
are SO unfortunate as to labor in free
trade fields. In Belgium the mason
receives Sc per week, the plasterer
$3.50, and the plumber Sc, these, with
the painters, being the highest on the
list in the building trades. In Copen
hagen the mason receives $445 per
week; the carpenter, S4.25, the
pIasterer not being mentioned
distinctively from the mason-the
sailmaker being the highest on
the list at $4s5. all the others
being lower in the scale. In France
the mason has SIS; the carpenter, S5.42;
the plumber. $3.50; the painter about
the same, all the others receiving less
excepting the cooper, VINO gets ~. IN
Germany the mason has s41s per
week; the plasterer. 81 So; the painter
81 60; the cabinetmaker, $a.95, and
the carpenter, $4.is, the balance all
being lower. In England the wage
are: Masons, Ss,l0: plasterers, S. 49,
carpenters, SIS 10; bricklayers, $612i
painters, 81 %. and all othera
under excepting the engraver,
who has $972. The same is true o.
Ireland. Scotland, Italy, Netherlands,
Spain and wherever the work Of the
mechanic is in some way protected
OF course it is known that the wages
of the naturally protected trades 10
free trade countries are nothing when
compared with like trades in the
United States which are aided by the
American system Of protection, bui
they are far in advance Of other occu-
pations with which free trade inter
feres.

marty. II ia not year since Mr.. Waiter
son declared that the Democratic party was
uFree trade or nothing and Mr.. Waiter
son smoke truly, whether az respects the
past OF the party or its present purpose.
The North American has frequently shown
that The application OF the term to the
Mills bill and to the party is justidsble, be-
cause the policy OF that bin and the policy
OF tho psrty is based on the English idea.
AK any Democrat you meet IL England Ia
a free trade couatry, and he viii reply
efirmatively.
England raised large revenue from du-
ties on foreign products. She has 1873 Gus
toms districts, in two Of which, London
and Liverpool, 2200 customs officers are EN-
ployed. And the duties imposed and col
lectei are considerably greater according
TO the population than they are here. YET
Englend claims to be free trade country
as in the essential meaning of tne term il Ia.
In the same sense the Mills bill, as it came
from the caucus, was free trade measure,
aud 10 exactly the sense that the policy Of
England is free trade, the policy Of the
Democratic party here ia free
trade The denisl put 10 by the
Mllses and SCOTS and their organs is COW
srdly. and lacking in every element Of
manliness. We predicted that before the
Mills bill issued from the House II would be
so changed that even lite fond sponsors would
not know IT, With the exception OF free
wool, it has but few OF the more dissln-
gushing ear marks it had when 10 came
from the caucus. But It Is still as II Ia
intended to be, the entering wedge OF such
free trade az England maintains. Its
direction IA toward English free trade.
Every English journal Of prominence has
endorsed the policy OF the Mills bill,as well
as the policy outlined by the President 10
his message
Now is there a man ia this country 30
stupid ss TO suppose that the organs Of the
English Government ard OF the Brltish
manufacturers do not know Whist they are
talking aboutg Is it supposable that those
organs representing British Interests would
endorse any economic policy proposed by
any party In this country which policy did
not promise 10 give them better market
for their waresg To suppose such thing
would be to advertise one's blind stupidity.
Aho A1iNAAlbA "a AhN EAbth1h'tn Va bAp AAAAn
bill Is TO divide the homo market with for
eign traders. This is the story. OF course the
bill discriminates against such industries
as the North and West have and the South
has not, and in favor Of such industries as
the South has and the North has not, and
10 the nature OF things cannot have. But
this goes 60 the political situation. There
has never been a more fragrant measure OF
dogfacism proposed than the MILLS hill as Il
stands to-day. Its Northern promoters are
OF the old, mud -bedraggled, dogfacs stock
somewhat deteriorated for want of the disci-
plne Of the old black whip, but as stupidity
blind and subseryiant as their ancestors
The party has only to commit itself to that
measure by passing It, and then deny the
act, as it always does

Three thugs never come again:
Snow may vanish from the plain,
Blossoms from the dowy sod.
Nerdure from toe broken elod,
Water from the rivers bed,
Forests from the mountains head,
Night may brighten into day.
Noon IN midnight fade away,
Yet the snow shuil come ones more,
When the winter tempests roar.
Blossoms each returning spring
10 her laden arms shall bring,
Grafs be green where plouEhshGrcs run
Rivers flash Ia autumns sun,
Time shall bid the forests grow,
Noon and midnight come and 20,
But though all thy soul complain
fhree things shall not come again.
Never to the bow that bends
Comes the arrow that ID sends;
Spent inspace, its airy flight
Nanishes like lost delight,
When with rapid aim II sprang
From the bowstring'e shivefiug twang
Straight to brain or henrt il fled,
Once for all its course was sped.
No wild vail upon its track
Brings the barb OF vengeance back.
Hold thy hand before il 60;
Pause beside the Bonded bow;
HURLED across the plain,
No spent arrow comes again.
Mover comes the chance that passed,
That one moment was its last
Though thy life upon il hung,
Though thy death beneath it swung.
IL thy future all the way
Now ia darkness goes sstray,
When the instant born Of fate
Posses through the golden gate,
W hen the hour, hut not the man,
Comes and goes from natures plan,
Never more its ccuntenance
Beams upon thy slow advance.
Never more that time shall be
/ Burden bearer unto thee.
/ Weep and search DER land snd main
Lost chance never comes egain.
Never shall thy spoken word
Be again unsaid unheard.
Well it's work the utternnoe wrought
Woe or veal, whate'or il brought;
Once for al the rune is read,
Once for all the Judgment said.
Though it pierced a poisoned spear
Though the soul thou holdest dear,
Though il culver fierce ane deep,
Through some stainless spirits sleep
Idle, vain, the flying sting
That passing rage miRht bring.
Speech shall give it fangs OF steel
Utterance all its barb reveal.
Give thy tears OF blood and fire;
Pray with fangs of mad desire:
Offer life, and soul, aud all,
That one sentence TO recall

State Taxations and Radical Plunder-
ings.

In the matter Of taration.-For the
year 1869 the Republicans levied
eighty cents on every one hundred
dollars worth of property, including
forty-fve cents to pay interest on
special tax bonds. Under this levy
they collected over s1,000,000; and
although more than half of it was de-
signed to pay interests on special tax
bonds, they applied less than one half
the amount collected to that purpose.
For 1871 the rate was 80 cents on
every hundred dollars worth of prop
erty, including eight cents for the asy-
lums, ten cents to meet deficiency In
treasury on contracts made by Re-
publicans in 1869, and twelve cents
for the Penitentiary, which was in
complete. This made the rate of
taxation for that year for ordinary
expenses twenty-five cents, or thirteen
cents less than the Republican rate of
1869 for same purpose. The Repub-
licans made contracts which had to be
paid for by the Democratic admins
tration.
After these deficiencies in the
treasury had been met the rate of tax
alton was greatly reduced as follows ::
For 1874, 81 cts. on ev'ry $IOO worth of prop'ty

1t will be observed that, though the
Candy Constitution, then so recently
adopted, provided that the State and
county tax for any year should not
exceed sixty-six and two third cents
on the one hundred dollars worth of
property, the Republican Legislature
levied and collected from the people
of the State tax of 80 cents on every
800 worth of property in the State
for State expenses.
It will be observed also that in the
foregoing table the tax for 1884 is put
down as 90! This extraordinary
state of things, unknown before in the
history of this or any other country,
it is believed, came about in this way:
On the first day of May, 1884, the
Western North Carolina Railroad
paid into the State Treasury $500, 900
and took up its bonds ($25O,OOO) de-
posted there to secure the State
against loss for the support of the
'convicts while in the employment of
the road before its SALE The Legis-
lature directed that upon the pay
ment being made the levy of twenty
five cents on every one hundred dol
lars worth of property should be sns-
pended for that year. This was one
of the fruits of the sale of the West
ern North Carolina Railroad.
So much for taxat;e.I under Demo
cratic rule.

New York has a. crank who thinks
he can stop the ravages of the yell
low fever scourge in a jiffy. His
scheme seems audaciously plausible.
By certain mechanical and chemical
devices which he claims to have per-
fected, it is proposed to manufacture
frost and the inventor says there is no
reason why the artificial product
should not prove quite as oficacious
in killing the gorms of the disease as
the genuine article. If Jack Frost
to order will do the work it will be
indeed blessed novelty.

A Horrible Death.

WADEsBoRo, N. c., Sept. 28.-
Benjamin Deberry, white man of
about 80 years of age, left this place
this morning for his home in Stanly
county. He was riding in buggy
and was very much intoxicated.
About five miles from here he was
found dead and entangled in the
wheels of his buggy with his head and
neck horribly bruised and cut. He
had been dragged for four miles and
when found the horse was still moving
homeward. His death was caused
from bruises and cuts received while
being dragged over the rocks and
stones. The road is very hilly and
rocky.
