A Moonlit Summer Night.

Translated from the German Of E. c. by X. !
Oh, such a glorious moonlit night
Enchants my heart and soul.
1t seizes my senses with witching might
Assuming a weird control!
A longing attacks me, as if 1 should
Go forth over plain and field
AS if the glimmering distance would
The sweetest Of wonders yield
As If I must wander'for miles and miles
Far over the glittering lea;

MORTGAGES IN RHODE ISLAND
AND CONNECTICUT.

We publish from time to time, az the
census bulletins come out, the mort
gage Indebtedness, in condensed form,
Of the various States. Later on the
States will be published in groups, as
too many figures at time are con
fusing to the mind.
In 1880 the people of Rhode Island
incurred mortgage debts amounting to
81, O28, O86. In 1889 the aggregate was
more than double, being So, 172, 300.
The increase in the nine years was
1O2 88 per cent, while the population
only increased "a 81 per cent. On the
first Of January the total indebted
ness during the ten years had been
$65, 142 238. The total of debts existing
on the first of January, 1890, amounted
to $50, 778, 243. The rate of interest on
farm Indebtedness averages 5.77 per
cent on town lots 5, n per cent. Thus
it is plain that little Rhody is expert

real estate to the amount Of SO, 1876, 500.
In 1889 they were still more prosper

amount of $17, 7O3, 1926. The increase of
debts was 90 so per cent, the increase
of population only 10 "a per cent.

Two counties have mortgages amount
ing to more than $50, 600, 900 each.
Connecticut's debts are $1O7 for every
human being in the State, which is
more than any States yet reported ex
cept Kansas, Massachusetts, and Ne
braska. The per capita debt of Ala
bama is only 1926; Tennessee, $23. Yet
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois,
Kansas and other non-prOducing cotton
States are far worse off so far as real
estate mortgages are concerned than
any OF the Southern cotton producing
States. Where is the man that calls

was "a years old, and while we did not
get rich we made a living without beg
cling, borrowing or stealing it. We
know more about farming and the
farms of North arolinat than the editor
of the Globe will know in a thousand
years if he should live that long be-
cause his mind does not run in
that direction. The Globe knows
something about Durham, which
is situated in the best tobacco sec
ton of the State, and which is a
growing city. But Durham doesntde
pend on North Carolina. The money
that is making that city is drawn, not
only from every State in America, but
from every country on the earth.
Other professions are doing better
than the farmers. Many in all profes-
gions are getting vastly rich. That is
what is draining the farmers. If you
milk a COW twenty times a day she will
not furnish much milk at night. The
farmers are being MIXED too often.
That is what we are preaching to them
every week. There are exceptions IN
all cases, but the very fact that Amer
lea is full of grain, tobacco cotton, cat
tie and hogs does a way with the theory
that the farmers do not work. The
railroads, factories, magnificent cities
and towns that have been built out of
their labor in the past so years does
away with all such charges. The
Globe should sit down and think about
five minu es each day for a month and
then it would not attempt to demolish
this emporium of facts.

ment of the legislature, the object of
the corporation cannot be attained
under general laws. All general laws
and special acts, passed pursuant tn
this section, may be altered from time
to time, or repealed" This section, the
courts say, gives power to the General
Assembly to amend charters, and is the
one under which it controls railroads
and other corporations.
Section 80, article /, of the State Con,
stitution says: Retrospective laws,

unjust and incompatible with liberty,

COL. FAIRBRoTHER IS OFF"

the Durham Daily Globe, of the 18th,
reproduces an editorial from paper
last week, which gave many facts
about North Carolina, her natural ad-
vantages and diversified industries. In
an editorial on the subject the Globe
says:
Even while insisting that North Car
DINA is the greatest State in the Union
and naming some of the wonderful re
sources and magnificent institutions
which make it so, The PROFESSIONAL
FARMER cannot miss an opportunity to
howl about the poor oppressed farmer,
whom 1T states is not prosperous, al
though it admits that people in all other
lines Of business are doing well.
Colonel Ramsey may deceive him
self and people in other States who
have been seeking information with a
view to locating in North Carolina.
But people who know anything about
the State know that the farmers of
North Carolina enjoy advantages
equalled by the agricultural classes of
no other State in the Union, and that
If they are not prosperous it is their
own fault.
ANY farmer who works and paws
the same attention to his business as
men IN other trades and professions
cannot only be prosperous, but amas5
a fortune in North Carolina"
What we said in praise of the State
and its advantagesth the Globe cheerfully
admits is true, but would accuse us of
incorporating things in one particu-
lar only, and that the very one that
would have been more likely to be
avoided by the writer than all others,
not only that but one we could not
afford to say anything but the truth
about. Wecould not afford to SANDER
the agricultural people of this State,
and the patronage this paper has had
all it's life is proof that it has not been
done, though we have asserted thesame
in substance almost every week. But
few real farmers will undertake to denv
the assertion that for the past ten a
the farmers of this State have not pros
pered, and that ninety out of every
hundred are getting poorer every year.
The same Is true of every State in the
Union for that matter. The Globe can
say that is not true, but it can't estab
lish the fact by facts and figures nor
by any credible number of witnesses.
We will not accuse the Globe of ignor-
ance on any subject, but will remind
it Of the fact that the editor of this ma
per was raised in North Carolina and
has been here at least ten times as long
as the editor of the Globe. Not only
that but he worked on a farm until he

IS IT CONSTITUTIONAL

On another page a correspondent
makes a very strong case in favor of
the theory that the Alliance Iegisla-
ton, amending the charter, is uncon-
s%titutional.
The writer is not a lawyer and does
not undertake to decide the matter.
However, we wish it could be decided
in favor of the Alliance. In answer to
a correspondent some time ago we said
''the legislature probably kept within
the bounds of the constitution" or
words to that effect. We meant that
it was our understanding that the
courts had SO held. In several in
stances the charters granted. to
various railroads have been amended.
and that without the desire or
wish of the corporations, and the
courts have held that this was consti-
tutional. But in no instance has the
amendments been for a few individ-
uals, but for the benefit Of the general
public.

tuition Of North Carolina says: Cor

HOW FARMING PAY


Farming continues to pay we'll in all
parts Of the country. In the South it
paws the cotton and tobacco manufac-
turers. In the North and West it
pays the railroads, the manufacturers,
the bankers, the dealers in futures, the
bondholders and a few others farmers
who do not farm.
Swift & Co., one of the big three"
meat packers at the Union Stock Yards,
Chicago, have recently increased their
capital stock from 81, 500, 900 to SIS,
900, 900, an increased just one hundred
per cent. We are further informed
that f'a great portion Of this new stock
will be taken by the present stockhold-
ers." This company was Incorporated
in 1885 with a stock of $500, 900. Eigh,
teen months later the stock was in
creased to So, 900, 900. In June, 1888,
che capital was made S., 900, 900. In
August, 1890, it was raised to $780,
900 and bonds issued on the property
for raising 50, 300, 900 more At that
time a surplus dividend of thirty two
per cent. was declared On the earlier
capital of S. 900, 900. A surplus divi
dend of another 81, 725, 900 has just been
declared on the above named$7 500, 900,
and on authority of one of the original
owners, it is stated that the stock is
now quoted and sold in Boston at $50.
In other words the profits of this con
| Germ are so enormou that during the
past eight years a few men have grown
in wealth from a working capital of
$500, 600 to a working capital of 81, $780,
900, and are able to issue as much more
| of water and because Of their position
in control of the live stock industry
they will undoubtedly be able to sell
the water at par because it is reason
ably sure of prompt annual dividends.
In the accomplishment Of this success,
but very little capital has been brought
in from outside the ring that all the
time have and do now control the
| whole concern.
Now some ''calmity bowler" will
jump up and say ''stock- raising and
farming does not pay now in the
West" Why, bless your souls, it does
pay. 1t pays Swift & Co., at Chicago;
it pays thousands of other m%iIlionaires
up there. But still it does not pay the
men who farm. Well, we are going to
tell you O secret. While you farmers
have been voting for protection, for
"a reduction of the tariff" for ''pen-
~eions," for a reduction of pensions"
farming has been paying handsomely =.
1t has paid thousands of men SO well
that they are now each worth millions.
1t has paid enough to build hundredso of
railroads, cities, factor les, churches,
banks and other things. Now let's
cote ito make farming p0y" a few
times and see what a change will be
brought about.

ETERNAL VIGILANCE, ETC.

For some time we have noticed that
a certain ready print concern that gets
out a great many patent outsides and
insides has a column of items headed
alliance Notes." 1t is a rare thing for
the word alliance" to appear in that
matter. Worse still the matter is fire..
quently out of all harmony with the
organization. The papers that patron.
ize that concern ought to kick and kick
hard. Grant for sake of argument
that there is nothing harmful about
the matter, yet it is a fraud and will
make a bad impression upon those who
have any respect for the Alliance.
Might as we'll have notices Of prize
fights and horse races under the head
of religious news" IN a religious paper
as such stuff in an Alliance paper.
Brother editors, either watch your
matter more closely Or else pull down
YOUR sign.
