Approaching the great interest
felt in the subject of the next
Democratic Presidential nominal
nation, The Richmond Times
about two weeks ago sent out
the following circular letter to
its correspondents in every coun-
ty of the State of Virginia: Gin
verview briefly and concisely
three orfour of the representative
Democrats OF your locality as to
their preference for the Demo-
cratic nomination of '92 anC
forward the result of your inter-
views to this office as early as
possible" In response to these,
replies up to this time received
from forty-four counties nearly
half the State-two hundred and
forty-four interviews, sufficient to
show Enthusiastically the drift of
popular sentiment among Vir-

1t looks little gloomy for
some of the wage-earners of the
Northwest. At Chicago ninety
seven men were laid off in the re-
pair yard, machine and other de
partments of the Rock Island
Railroad company. 1t is further
announced that 60 per cent of
the men in the blacksmiths de
partment and so per cent from
the locomotive machine working
force will he discharged. The
object is reduction of expenses.

Under the Mckinley tariff til

Under the Mckinley tariff the
American manufacturer can get
free raw material, for the duty
is not charged when such material
is imported to be manufactured
into articles for exploration, and
SO the American merchant will be
able to sell at the same point of
advantage as the English mer-
chant with the ADDITIONAL adj
vantage of free entry into ports
where treaties are made.

Sentiment in favor of electing
United States Senators by direct
vote of the people instead of by
means of Legislatures seems to
be growing throughout the
country. In California the spec
tacle is presented at this time OF
a senatorship put up at auction
before the General Assembly OF
that State, and there have been
repeated instances in different
States of elections of Sena tors
whose chief, if not their only,
claim to recognition was in their
wealth. An election by the peo-
pie would not give the same OPP
portunities for corruption and
and bribery.

Camps of Confederate veterans
are being organized throughout
the Southern States. This is bv
no means warlike movement,
one of the leading objects of these
organizations being to give as
sistance to those ex-Confederates
who are in needy circumstances.
The same object is also finding
practical expression in the organ
ization of Confederate Homes and
the voting of small pensions to
the especially needy in several of
the Southern States.

THE TUMBLE IN SUGAR.

| In less than three weeks now the
price of sugar to consumers will fall
two to three cents per pound. This
is one of the results Of the much
abused Mckinley tariff law, which
removes the importation tax on raw
sugar. 1t takes effect on April l.
and merchants all over the country
have been preparing for it. They
are carrying lighter stocks now of
refined sugar than ever. aud will sell
refined sugar for April delivery at
FIVE cents a POUND per barrel.
There is not a household in the
land whic!, will not reap the benefit,
of tbs reduction. In fact, its cif>c;s
will operate more evenly than re-
duced price in almost any other ar
ticle of food. Sugir is used nearly
as largely in thu workinynan's fam
lily as in the rich mans family, in
proportina to numbers, and The saw
ing will be universal.
This accounts for the silence of
the free trade Democratic papers
every one of which was bowling it
self hoarsc last year over the a.leg-
ed rise in prices and the expressions
the Mckinley law would bring on
the poor man.-Winston RepubG-

free trade in sugar; shows that
the tariff off cheapens the poor
mans food equally with the rich

precisely what the Democrats
have solong striven for-removal
or reduction of the tariff, which is
a tax, in order. that The protected
commodity should come down.
And if these benefits, which the

why should not the tariff come

English sentiment wastes no
sympathy for the Italian ban
ditti of New Orleans. The ST.
James Gazette says that it is
curious to find the people of
Italy lamenting the death of the
Malta conspirators at New Or
leans. They were wretches who
had been driven out of their own
country as pests of society. The
grief of the Marquis di Rudini
for the men who were lynched
would not be long or very pro
found. If the Mafias had not
emigrated they would have re-
ceived equally short shrift from
Sicilian vigilantes.

Therefore We make no apology
Tor calling the attention of our
farmers to the advantage of theil
devoting some atte.tionsto the cult
ure ofIhe sugar beet as profitable
crop, and of cur business men to
the manufacture Of sugar from beets.
The manufacture of sugar can be on
a large or small scale and is said tG
be very profitabls.
The subject should be considered
by onr farmers and they would be
supplied with seed by the Secretary
| of Agriculture at Washington and
any information about beet culture
and the manufacture of sugar wou Il
be cheerfully furnished. The sugar
made from beets is said to equal
in quality that made from sugar
cane, and the cost of manufacture
is said to be much less Elizabeth
City Economist.
The sugar bounty of two cents
per pound now the law of the
land under the Mckinley tariff
law, will greatly stimulate the
production of sugar in the United
States, and must have the eff
feet to cause our people to turn
their attention to every source
OF the raw material supply.
The diversification of the agri-
cultural industries, and the vari-
alton of the cash-crop products
OF our people are necessary to the
success and prosperity of their
farming, and the more rapidly
the farmers fall into this line of
thought and action the quicker
will they reap the due rewards
of their study and toll.
No matter how successfully or
profitably one leading crop in a
section may be followed, there are
few farmers who do not possess
some lands unadapted to that
special growth, but which could
be turned to equal advantage in
the production of some other
good money crop. In our own
immediate section, where the
cultivation OF tobaccoso profita-
bly, leads all other crops, after
devoting appropriate areas to
that and the staple products of
corn and the small grains, there
will still generally remain por-
lions ofthe farm which might be
advantageously given to the
growth of another money crop if
adaptation should be ascertained
and shown.
The people of some of the up
per sections of Virginia are turn
ing their attention to the subject
of sugar-beet culture, and with
every prospect of a most fatter-
ing success. They find that they
have lands admirably adapted
to it, and will pursue the indus
try with the hope of large re-
We believe that the
Piedmont region of our own
State offers equal inducements
for the cultivation of the beet with
the upper counties OF Virginia,
and that attention can be turned
to that subject as satisfactorily
here as there.
AT all events, our people
would lose nothing by putting
themselves on inquiry, and in
7estigating the subject for what
t may be worth. A letter to the
Secretary of Agriculture at
Washington will bring all the

THE OPENING OF OUR INDUS
TRIAL YEAR.

/ TX tobacco manufacturing
establishments of Winston, aggre
eating the largest effort in that
line ofindustry, congregated any
where in the world, are all ar
ranging for the resumption o.
operations for the working year
of 1891.
This means that Winston is
about to engage in active en-
ployment the largest force OF
wage-earners ever known to local
manufacturing industries OF
North Carolina, giving a CORE
spending impetus to all her
various industries, and like
stimulus TO all the branches of
her multifarious business enter
prises.
OF course we do not note these
things in Il spirit of vainglory, or
gratuitous boasting. We simply
record a fact, patent to all OBJ
servers, and irresistible to every
conclusion. Fortuitous circum-
stance of climate, soil, and vege-
table production, coupled with
artificially created facilities. the
mental grasp, physical activity
and practical training to bust
ness methods, and sharp discrimi-
nation in market values, have all
conspired to make Winston what
she is as the manufacturing CEN
tire of the universally demanded
staple of luxury and necessity,
that tobacco has come to be.
But great as she is, as a tobac-
co manufacturing centre, world
wide as her fame has reached, she
ls.not satisfied with this conquest.
She aspires and aims to be the
central city of North Carolina in
skilled industries and legitimate,
commercial enterprises.
In the first place we have the
best and most prosperous career,
of mercantile business in the
State, or of the Piedmont Caro-
linas. We have, of course, the
largest success of manufacturing
effort. We have the finest and
most temperate and generous
We have the most lib
ally responsive soil. We have
the most economical and thrifty
tillers of the soil, the largest
bulk production to the acre, and
the biggest profit to area of cul
tivation known to agriculture
since the world began.
With all these conditions as
sured, with these facilities in our
possession, with these advanta-
ges our own, what is to stand in
the way of our progress; what is
to hinder the continued marvel
lous growth and development of
Winston?
