You will observe that the oil is car
bonaceous material drawn mainly from
the atmosphere. II may be expressed
and made use of for great variety of
purposes. vet what is left will be more
nutritious as a food for beasts OF a rem
ovator of the soil than it was with the
oil in it. I think that the meal Of the
peanut after the oil has been expressed,
would possess the highest value III the
nitrorenous element that there is known
i'm any vegetable product yet dealt with
as IA source of nitrogen among plants
that draw nitrogen from the air. Yet
the people of your State, in which this
crop can be produced in endless abund-
ance, appear to be totally ignorant Of
its value and of its properties. Every
part of the plant, stalk, leaf, hull and
meal worked UP togetaer Or separately

FOR TWO CENTS.

Mr.. J. L. Andrews, of Roxobel, IN
with THE DEMOCRAT some
DAYS ago, said that meat can he raised
in this section for two cents a pound.
He mentioned some instances In his
community in which meat had been
raised at a very small cost. He said If
people will plant peanuts for their
hogs and manage carefully, they will
find that their meat when dressed and
hung up will have cost not more than
two cents a pound.
In this we hardly think all will agree
with Mr.. Andrews, but whether his es-
innate is correct or little too low it is
certain that people can raise meat
cheaper than they can buy it, and this
has been demonstrated by the farmers
of this region for the past two years
And it would seem that all farmers
would see by the experience Of the
past fifteen years that it pays to raise
their meat at home no matter what the
nrice of peanuts and cotton; and we
believe they will do it hereafter.

An Interesting Review.

An Interesting Review.
SCOTLAND NECK, n. c., Jan. %, "a
FD1TOR DEMOCRAT Since reading
the replies to your inquiry In recent
iasue Of THE DEMOCRAT as to the con-
dition of the farmers Of Halifax county,
I have taken the pains to get some fg-
ures to show that these statements are
not overdrawn. In 1889 the farmers OF
this county were so demOrallzed and
destitute of supplies owing to the all
cotton system of farming, that they APP
pealed to the State for aid to start an
other crop. That year 1850 one firm
here sold 427 900 pounds of meat and
there was shipped to this point 36,OOo
bushels of corn, SO that almost the en-
tire amount received for the cotton
crop went to the West to pay Tor food
stuffs. Farmers found that a change
in their system of farming must be III
augurated. Since that time they have
improved with each year, which is verl-
fed bv the shipments of last year. In
| 1898 there we're only 5000 pounds OF
meat sold in the market and not a peck
of corn shipped here. l should have
said that in 1889 the cotton receipts
here we're 1896 bales against 1910
bales IN 1898. Our farmers start out
this year full handed with meat and
corn to serve them until another har-
vest Let it 20 out that Halifax far
mers are not bankrupt; neither are
they begging bread. Eastern North
Carolina possesses the advantages and
resources to make it one of the grand
est sections of country III the world
Her fisheries are the most important
on the South Atlantic coast and the
climate is so mild that it allows fishing
all through the winter.
For nearly two hundred years East
ern North Carolina has been the world
chief source of supply for tar, pitci
and turpentine, the total value Q
which is about SS,OOO,OOO. Trucl
, patches, as they were called few year
ago. have now become immense trucl
farms. and this is one of the most re
m,1nerative of agricultural industries
bringing hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars to truckers annually. And tn
crop is gathered and sold in time t
make another crop on the same land
In addition to our principal crops, VIZ
corn, wheat, oats, tobacco, cotton am
neanuts. we can raise buckwheat, suga
cane, rice, potatoes, and many Othe
crOps I need not mention. In fac
there is no crop grown in any State L
the Union that will not flourish an
grow here Compare our advantage
with those of the West, where the
= have so long carried the keys to on
= barns and smokehOuses, and you WI
, find their condition worse than our
, There they are dependent on grain an

, ure in these poverty stares them III tn

Memories OF Daniel Webster.

1 shall always remember the first
time I saw Mr.. Webster, and the i'm
preston he made upon my then very
youthful mind 1t was at gather
ing at Faneuil Hall. AS he rose and
stepped forward amid tumultuous ap-
plause, I noted the broad chest
across which the blue coat was fast
ened with shining brass buttons: his
large head, broad forehead, cavernous
eye sockets, in which shone the deep,
solemn looking dark eyes; his firm
set lip and ponderous jaw. And
when the solemn hush fell on the as
sembly as he stretched forth his right
hand and began, the deep melodious
voice rang through the hall like the
musical bass notes of church organ,
his enunciation clear, emphatic
strong, and the compass of his voice
filled the whole hall. = Curtis Guild

injury. Senator Allen is on record
as having asserted that he would vote
against any tariff bill that did not con-
tinue the bounty to Western sugar
producers. Senator Kyle declared in
speech in the Senate ON last Monday
that the "diferential" duty of one
eighth of cent pound on refined
sugar imposed for the benefit of the
Sugar Trust would be ''a death blow"
to the party that enacted it into law,
and prove ssthe political death of any
man who voted for it. Yet both Al
len and Kyle voted for the Bourbon
bill abolishing the beet sugar bounty
and embodying the Trusts differential
duty of one-eighth of cent on refined
sugar.
The farmers of the West are intelli-
gent and progressive citizens. They
have no further use for representatives
of this type. In the future they will
look for protection to the Republican
party, which impartially defends every
American interest. In the triumph of
Republican principles abides the only
hope of Western prosperity.-N. Y.

GOOD TO COME OF 1T.
[Salt Lake Tribune.1

We look upon the strike as practi-
cally ended. The next thing that
will come will be the echoes of it.
In places there will be fierce discus
sions of State rights. In other places
there will be discussions of monopo-
lies and how to subdue them, and
bring them under the spirit as well as
the letter of the law. In other places
there will be sullen growls emanating
from the workingmen's side, and an
effort to show that the American peo-
pie are not careful enough of their
working hosts; but the most import
ant question which will arise, and the
one which will be most discussed, will
be why it is necessary in this great
land that there should be a perpetual
stagnation in business, a steady beat
ing down of the wages of laborers, a
steady gathering of hosts in the cities
without means of support, and why
it is no longer profitable to till the
beautiful soil in the country. When
that shall be discussed there can be
but one conclusion, and that will be
that the financial policy of the coun-
try for some reason is wrong. That
for some reason property is worth 80
much less than money that it is not
profitable to own property, and the
same reason makes it impossible to
utilize money and obtain any reward
for it. In France the policy is 80 ad-
iusted that if any man wishes to use
money in an investment or wishes to
leave the country and dispose of his
property, no matter in what form it
may be, all he has to do is to make a
little reduction from the selling price,
and he can raise the money for it.
There is hardly a man in the United
States now who ten years ago bought
property and improved it or bought it
and held it, who can go out to-day
and get as much for it as he paid. AS
result, men who have money which
they want to use dare not invest it,
and they dare not loan it upon ordi-
nary security. When things are in
such form as that, then mon are
afraid to pursue any special industries
lest they run in debt, and where they
are involved so they have to carry on
their business they are forced to re-
duce it to the lowest ebb, and are
forced to dispense with just as much
labor as possible; forced to cut down
this way and that, and as result,
two million strong men who ought to
be producers have become consumers.
When that shall be understood, the
next thought will be that while this
strike failed, while perhaps half q
dozen more strikes will fail, there will
come time, just by natural pro-
cess, when men, utterly disregarding
the laws and the obligations of citi-
zenship, will go into a universal re-
bellion. Out of it all we expect good
for the cause which most interests the
men of the West. Out of it all we
expect broader view will come te
the newspapers of the East, the great
metropolitan newspapers. Indeed,
some of them are already taking ad-
vanced ground, and when they do,
the men whom we call statesmen viii
respond, and so we expect that within
a year it will be just as unpopular II

Senator PETER rises serenely above
the waves of half revolution that are
just now sweeping the country and
offers remedy for them. He pro-
poses to bring under one control all
the interstate railroads, and make uni
form charges. The wages of employees
ought to be regulated by law and paid
promptly in money. There is no en-
ployee in the United States that will
not endorse that, provided the pay is
sufficient and the money is forthcom-
ing. Next, he wants all the coal beds
to be owned and worked by the Gov
ernment Next, that all the money
used by the people ought to be- sup
piled only by the Government of the
United States, and the rate of inter-
est ought to be made uniform. Finally
that all the revenues of the Govern
ment ought to be raised by taxes on
real estate. In that he has mingled
absolute Capitalization with oldfashion-
ed greenbackism, and seasoned the
whole business with flavor of Henry
George. Senator PETER is right in
improving his time in the Senate, be-
cause we believe that after the Novem-
Der election the party behind Mr..
PETER will practically cease to exist in
the United States.
