WASHINGTON CRY. Sept 2a-The public
hearings before the ways and means CON-
mittee were concluded today. The inten.
tion Of che committee is to commence
work at once upon the new tariff bill.
L. +. Holden, of Cleveland, spoke in
favor of the existing duty on lead ore.
He declared ii the duties should be re-
duced. miners wages will necessarily be
reduced. Hugo y. Camp, of New York,
insisted on retention of the present duty
on lead ore in the interest of producers
and miners. He protested against the treat
ment of lead ore as raw material. Among
other industries represented were thread,
paints and colors. corsets. raw ivory and
pianotorte worries.
Il. J. Remer. of New York. complained
that the duty on silk was too high, so
high. in fact, that foreign manufacturers
of silk goods could not be brought in CON-
petition with American silks. He adj
ritted. however, that foreign manufact-
urers of silk paid so per cent. less wages
than were paid in this country.
At the afternoon session of the commit
Ice lhs carpsk industry xas discussed, -
well as match. brush, tobacco. bnriap and
German looking glass.
Congressman Mccall OF Massachusetts,
spoke of the necessity of deciding now the
date on which the new tariff law will go
into effect. He said that il would do much
to restore confidence, and suggested Janu-
AIRY /, 1895, as a reasonable time.

NEWSPAPERS AND THE 10.
BACCO INTEREST.

Editor Manning, of the excellent
GOLD LEAF, of Henderson, n. c.,
thinks the Southern 20baeeonisf guilty
Of neglect of duty in not defending
the weeklies of the tobacco belt of a
charge by Bro. Mason, of the Western
Tobacco Journal, that there was
neglect on these papers parts Of sup
porting the staple substantially at
home.
The original article referred to cigar
tobacco sections and had no bearing
on the bright belt of North Carolina,
and thus passed our criticism. 1t
must be admitted, as Bro. Manning
says, that in respect to this duty, no
uncertain sound is heard through the
North State press, and we have had
evidences of this prominently in such
as the Henderson GOLD LEAF, the
Rocky Mount Axgonant, the three
Durham papers, the Sentinel, of Win
ston, with the Southern Tobacco
Journal, the Oxford Ledger, and SO
on a long list. Many local papers
have kept up columns of tobacco mat
ter, with outlay and effort, commenda-
bic and altogether efectual, encourag
ing planter and their patrons, result
ing in opening and sustaining many
markets. The papers of North Caro-
lima, above all others, have made
sacrifices in this cause.--Richmond

STILL FAVORSTHE DOG.

The State Senate, by a vote of Fl to
20, Thursday, declared that it was not
in favor of a tax on dogs, and that as
between sheep husbandry and dog
husbandry it was by a majority of ? in
favor Of the dog. The purpose of this
bill was not to exterminate the dog,
nor to deprive people of the right or
privilege to own a dog or dogs, by
taxing a certain kind of dog, to reduce
the number of dogs, and thus give the
farmer who wanted to raise sheep a
chance. All this demagogery about
the rights of the poor people to own
dogs is the sheerest nonsense, and is
as old as the dog question. A propo-
sition never was made in the Legisla-
ture that some member didn't come to
the front and plead for the ''rights' of
the man with dog, something which
no one disputes. The question is,
shall the man with the dog be a
priviledged character, and the dog or
dogs which camp on his premises be
above and beyond the law, which
reaches every other four footed crea-
turc or two footed creature that walks
on the surface Of our territorial
domain If a dog is comfort and a
solace to its owner, it is worth protec-
ton, and it cannot be entitled to pro-
lection unless it is regarded as prop
erty. There are useful dogs, lots OF
them, and some very valuable dogs,
but there are thousands of useless, de-
structive ours, which nobody seems to
own. 1t is these that do the harm and
that ought to be got rid of. If there
were not SO many dogs there would be
demagogues, and if there were fewer
demagogues there would not be SC
many dogs.-Wilmington Star.

MIR. CLEVELAND'S TRIBUTE TO

Mr.. Cleveland has expressed him
self as follows regarding the death of
Mr.. Blaine:
"The first time | ever saw Mr..
Blaine had very pleasant interview
with him at the White House, shortly
after my Inauguration as President.
While | have seen but very little of
him since that time, yet in personal
way, in common with all other Amer
lean citizens, l have not failed to
admire his traits, the breadth of his
information and the alterness of his
intellect. A figure like his, which has
been SO prominently before the peo-
pie, and which they have SO long seen
in different lights, cannot fail to be
long remembered by those of the
present generation, and will certainly
occupy large place in the history OF
the country.
"1n common with all his country.
men l share the regret occasioned by
the death of man such as Mr.. Blaine

From our exchanges we notice that
many towns throughout the State are
moving theoretically for more fac
tories. The following from the New
ton Enterprise is as applicable to Hen
derson as elsewhere. 1t says:
The nervy, risky. working, thinking
men are the ones that forge ahead and
make a competency for themselves
and families and become felt in 4
community.
Newton needs more factories. The
building Of them this summer would
give a market to lumbermen and
brickmakers, employment to carpen-
tiers, bricklayers and mary unskilled
laborers, would increase tie trade of
our merchants and imprc'' the market
for the wood, grain, frui'. vegetables,
poultry, butter, etc, OF IL: farmers.
We believe that ns.r."y will re
easier to get hold of tn, year than it
has for long time, and this is the
time to strike for the upbuilding Of
Newton. If people are now thinking
favorably of the matter, books should
at once be opened tor subscription and
the matter pushed forward by energetic
hands.
There are several ways of raising the
money to build factories: One by
paying in the entire subscriptions at
once and start out free of debt, except
the individual debts the subscribers
may incur in raising their subscrip-
tons; another by paying in fourth,
a third or a half of the subscriptions
and buy the machinery on time and
run the risk OF paying for it out of the
profits; and another by the INSTALL
ment plan, on which the Newton Roller
Mill was built, that is by paying in
a certain amount on each share every
month. Each plan has its advantages
and disadvantages. Raise company
and organize and discuss the merits of
the respective plans.
