CLAIMS A LONG TERM.

Indications are increasing of 6
squabble between the Reps and Pops
over the long term Senatorial pie, to
be served By the incoming Legisla-
ture. Mr.. R. Il. Douglass. of Greens
boro, claims the long term for the
Republicans, upon the following
grounds:
.sThe senatorial question, there
division of spoils. In all wars the
nation furnishing the most troops,
takes the lions share. OF the 14S,
344 votes cast for Chief Justice, the
Republicans furnished certainly over
two-thirds and probably three
fourths, which would be only ILL.,
25S. In 1888 Harrison received
134, 1874 votes, and over 100000
votes in 1892 in spite of the demon
alizati IN then existing in our party.
If in this election the Republicans
cast the Harrison vote of 1883, it
would leave only Is, $50 votes to be
cast by the Populists. Then why
should they claim the long term ?
The argument that Ransom's term
belongs to the East has no weight
whatever, as the East now has both
senatorships, and had when Ransom
was first elected in 1872, namely: he

and necessary party policy, the Re-

COOPERATIVE MILLS.

In the Manufacturers Record, Mr..
D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, a very
successful cotton manufacturer, has
the following to say about organic
ing mills upon the cooperative plan:
The success of this plan in Char
lotte speaks for itself. Mills have
been built near Charlotte by SUBJ
scriptions payable weekly in small
sums for one, two, four and eight
years, but the favorite plan is that
of paying so cents per week on a
share for four years. At this rate
1000 shares would make a capital
of 100000, a sum sufficient to
build a cotton mill of about 5000
spindles, with looms enough to weave
their product. MIR. Tompkins gives
the following estimate for such a
mill:
Employees, men and boys......... 80
Employees, women and girls. so
Pay roll per week, about. $3.50
Bales consumed per week, about 20
If the subscriptions to the stock of
an instalment mill are made payable
at the rate oil so cents per week per
share, and the capital stock sub
scribed was 100000, then in the
first year the amount paid into the
company's treasury would be about
$4,000. With this money the
buildings could be built and paid for,
leaving a surplus in the treasury
The buildings would be, a main
building, engine room, boiler room
and houses or cottages for the hands
| to live in. In some special cases.
where the factory was to be built in
a city, these houses might not be
| built, as the hands could find board
or houses to rent near by the factory
in the city. Generally speaking,
however, it is best to put a factory
| one to four miles away from a city
and let the company build and OWL
the houses the employees live in.
In Charlotte no house rent il
/ charged, the factories furnishing
houses free of rent. In some Other
! 5laces rent is charged at the rate O
81 per room.
Considering that subscriptions
were being paid regularly, and that
the buildings were all completed anC
paid for at the end of about ont
year, and that the company income
was about $4,000 per month from
regular instalment payments or
4 subscriptions, then under these con-
i ditions about 800 spindles and tha
remainder payable 81 900 to 81, 00(
lper month. In about sixteen OF
eighteen months from the time thu
flrst payments were made the mil
scould BE started up on about one
third TO one-half its capacity, ther
the remainder of the machinery coule
be added and stated up from time te
time as the money continued to come
in by ipsta1ments.
No dividends should be paid unit
/ the stock is paid in full, and thu
officers should receive very small
salaries. The mills near Charlotte
built on this plan, have been very
| successful, and some Of them during
! the dull season have run night an6
oay to fll orders fer their goods

it is to legislate out of office certain

THE New York World is about
right in saying that "the Democrats
of the Senate who ere in favor of re-
pealing the odious sugar tax should
not be discouraged by their failure
to bring the bill up. They should
persist until they get every Senator
on record. The Democrats, having
a majority, are responsible for the
action of the Senate. But this does
not relieve the Republicans of their
accountability to the people. After
having denounced the Democrats
throughout the late campaign for
yielding to the sugar ring they voted
solidly, SO far as Ghey were willing to
go on record, against even taking up
the bill to repeal this tax
