A w.raing-Don't Use Big Words.

In promulgating e%soterio cogitations or

and philosophical or psychological obser-
v%ations, beware of p~latitudinous ponder

glomeration. of hatnlent earrrulity. jejune
b%abblement and asinine affectations. In
trying to impress upon others the superior
ity Of the WISCONSIN Central lines, and why
you and so muny others use this thorough
fare from st. Paul n MINNEAPOLIS and
Duluth and Ashland to Milwaukee,. Chicago
and points east and south, it is not necss-
sary to use jawbreakers. Let YOUR extern
poraneous descantings and unprecedented
explanations have in%telligibllity and vera

all polysyllabic profundity, psittaceous vac.
ulty, ventriloqnial vesbosity and vnndilo-
quent vapidity, shun double %entendres,

THE JURY SYSTEM.

Every year it is proposed to make
exemptions Of certain classes from
serving on jnries. A bill has been
introduced in the New York legis-
lature to exempt all bank officers
and employees. Every addition to
the list of exemptions decreases the
number Of competent jurors and i'm
pairs the efficiency and successful
administration Of the system of trial
by jury. Trial by jury is the best
and fairest system to obtain justice
ever devised. Instead of criticizine o
this mode, reformers ought to turn

FAIR TRADE.

Capt. ALEXANDER has introduced
a bill in Congress which provides
that every vessel built, owned and
manned by citizens of the United
States which shall carry cargo
consisting Of agricultural products
to any foreign port shall be entitled
to bring back, free of duty, a cargo
Of foreign stuffs equal in money
value to the cargo carried from the
United States. Such vessel may
discharge it's incoming cargo at any
port Of the United States without
payment of custom duties. The
other one-fourth not consisting of
agricultural products may be con J..
stituted Of such stuffs as the vessel
owners can also handy proftably.
Mr.. ALEXANDER says this means
reciprocity in it's broadest sense and
that it has no sectional feature; that
the cotton, fruit and other products
of the South will be on equal terms
with the wheat and pork of the
North. This, says the Mecklenburg
Times, is what is known in France
and England as Fair Trade. i
simply means the right Of farmers te
ship their goods abroad and ex
change them for their full value il
foreign goods. Under the presen
high tariff the farmer has to pay
bounty to the government for tn
privilege Of exchanging his product
for those of other countries. Thi

COOPERATION INVITED,

We publish elsewhere the reso-
lutions adopted by the Wake county
Farmers Alliance inviting and re-
questing the merchants to cooper
ate with the farmers in securing a
fifteen per cent. reduction in the
cotton acreage and corresponding
increase in the production of bread
stuffs. We are glad to print these
resolutions for two reasons
l. They breathe the proper spirit
that ought to exist between the
merchants and the farmers. The
bad times that have come to the far
mers have also fallen with heavy
hand upon the merchants, who are
unable to collect for the supplies
furnished the farmers. Both suffer
together, and together they must
cooperate to bring about better
times. There is great need now
perhaps more than ever, fort hepreva-
lence of feeling OF comradeship and
confidence between the farmers and
the merchants. There has been too
much distrust bred between classes,
and we are glad to see the Wake
county farmers moving to replace it
with cooperation. The feeling of
antagonism which has grown up be-
tween men Of different callings is
very narrow and very contemplate.
The CHRONICLE has nothing but
contempt for men who array class
! against class and breed envy, jeal-
ousy and distrust. There is nc
room for such sentiments now wher
, every day records the failure of
! time merchant and when farmer
) are selling cotton at less than tn
} cost of production.
2. The reduction of the cottol
= acreage is dedendent upon the mer
chants and the farmers jointly. i
: cotton sections, where merchant
have made advances on crops, the
= have generally insisted that the fal
mer raise as much cotton as poss

IT ces conditional upon a large cotto

ut that the merchants in the cott(
