A Few Things Worth COnSiderin

In an exchange we find some very
suggestive items considering the i'm
portance of giving more attention to
egg-producing with a view to increas-
ing the prices Of farm products, and
keeping American money among
A merlcans
Eggs were imported during July,
1898, to the extent of 326,S74 doz.,
valued at nearly $4,000. In July of
last year, the imports were 457, 1857
dox., valued at $4,000. For the
seven months ending July 81. 1898,
there was a decreased importation to
the value Of $4,000. While these
imports are only Of what used to
come in before the Mckinley tariff i'm
posed duty Of Sc. per doz., there is
no more need of this country buying
nearly 327 200 doz. eggs per month
than there is Of buying that much
grain or cotton.
From these statistics, it becomes
self-evident fact that American
farmers should look the situation in the
face, brace up to their privileges and
conevrt their low priced wheat and
other products into poultry and eggs.
Such disposal of farm produce means
higher prices for grain, cheaper trans
portation and more fertilizer for the
farm
Let the American farmers be edu-
Gated to these facts in their Farmers
Clubs, Grange meetings, Institutes
and in the home circle, and how soon
they would appeal for some reliable
journals on keeping poultry protitably,
and begin to develop the egg and
poultry industry by utilizing the cheap
grain, the cast-otl' vegetables and fruit,
hitherto only one-half utilized by the
pigs or the compost heap. | know one

Value of Lawn Clippings for Poultry
Poultry Journal


Years ago it was supposed that hens
in the winter must be fed nothing but
grain, and that mostly corn. Now,
the wide-awake poultryman feeds large
proportion Of hay to his laying stock,
thereby lessening the cost of wintering
greatly, and securing a great many
more eggs than were secured in former
years. Glover hay is generally con-
sidered richest in lime and egg-forming
material. We have found lawn clip
plings to fill the bill admirably. AS
a general thing, lawns contain more or
less white clover. and the other varie-
ties of grass used are tender and juicy,
where long enough to be clipped with
a lawn mower. Lawn clippings have
some advantage over clover hay First,

STATEB BANKS.
New Berne Journal. |

New bcTUt
The advocates of more money for
the people are now looking hopefully
for the repeal of the ten per cent tax
on the issues of State banks.
1t is unexicable how the bill Great
ing such tax came to pass, vlolatve
as it is of the rights of all the States.
We know that it was argued that
national banks could not compete
with State banks and in order to
sustain the national currency it was
necessary to put a prohlbltory tax on
the issue of State banks. 1t is marvel
Gus how it came to pass that the
representatives OF any State consented
to the passage Of a law attacking State
rights, and affecting the right OF the
people to regulate their own cur
renCy.
The law should be repealed because
it prevents the exercise Of the indutlble
rights of the States, and is subverslve
of the liberties Of the people.
The Constitution prohibits the
coinage Of money, but there is no
provision of that sacred instrument
that can be tortured into the prohibit
ton of banks to issue. The law will
be held to be unconstitutional by any
court of competent jurisdiction.
Whether it is expedlent for a State
to charter a bank is a question to be
determined by itself Its right to do
SO is not to be questioned.
All that Congress is asked to do IN
the matter is to repeal the law impos
ing a tax of ten per cent upon the
issues of State banks.
1t will then be for the States and
the people thereof to determine
whether they will have banks, and
what shall be their scope and llmlta-
tons if any are to exist. We say 10
the General Government remove your
oppressive hands, and we will take
care of ourselves.
That the people need more money
is not a subject of debates.
The demand for more silver has
been heard throughout the land but il
has been decided adversely, with some
little show of reason, bit what reason
there can be for retaining a law in
direct conflict with the rights of the
State and the liberties of the people
can not be ConjeCtured, unless it is tc
be found in the fact that the nationa
banks have the Federal government by
the throat and it fears to Offend
them.
Let this be assigned as the reason
and Congress will he elected tina
will sweep the national banks from
existence.
We do not think this desirable, SC
we hope that the tax will be repealed
and the States LETT free.

Small Things Pay.

We are every day reminded that the
farmer in North Carolina has the adj
vantage over his brothers in other
parts of the United States. The horse
drovers who come to us from adjoining
States say they find that the North
Carolina farmer has the cash to pay
for his stock, while South of us mort
cages and other papers have to be
taken for horse flesh. This seeming
insignificant circumstance, trivial al
most, speaks volumes for the industry,
Intelligence and thrift of the farmers of
our Commonwealth. 1t is the differ
ence between want and plenty and
between farming for nothing and farm
ing for something. We are particularly
proud of this condition and prouder
still that farming in this State is ad-
vancing along the right lines. Every
farmer in reach Of market should
market butter, eggs, poultry, vegeta-
bles and fruits enough to meet all his
family expenses. This can be done
by giving these small things attention.
lfyour cow gives two gallons of milk
a day, feed her with fuller and richer
ration and get three gallons. 1t can
be done, and with an improvement in
the richness Of the milk. Proper care
for poultry will prove lucrative
also. These little auxiliares to the
regular farm duties pay better in pro-
portion to the time and care given than
to the bigger operations on the farm.
Not only so. but they give variety to
the table, thus improving the health
as we'll as helping to fill the pocket.
We do not hazard anything when
we say that diversity of crops anl at
tention to these smaller sources of
wealth are at the foundation Of our
farmers. Let those who have not

SOME very good men in George
town have enlisted in a very poor
canse. AT a mass meeting held in
the city hall in that town, on the
26th. ultimo, a committee was APP
pointed for the purpose Of sound
ing the political pulse, and If their
report is favorable a peoples par
ty will be organized. In the pre-
amble and resolutions adopted at
their initial meeting, they reuoun-
ced their allegiance to the demo-
cratic and republican parties, and
resolved that: eve will not endorse
with our votes any party or per-
son nominated by either of the old
parties." AS applied to national
politics, when we vote not so much
for individuals as for a code of
principles, that doctrine is polite,
but in municipal aud county mat
tiers, where we look to the individ-
ual, and not to his political party,
for personal service, it seems that
the declarations of the would-be
new party lack consistency. 1t is
all right to rigidly adhere to party
precepts on all matters effecting
our national government, but when
it comes to a choice between the
personal qualifications of two as
pirants to Office, their political
faith should not be alone consider
ed. Party organization is neces.
sary for the promotion of party
principles, but in local matters it
is unwise to sacriic all other con-
siderations for party's sake.

THE MISERS' SIDE OF THE
QUESTION.

Cripple Greek, Colo, is still in a
greatly agitated state, the miners
holding at defiance all armed fore
es. The cause leading up 70 the
present difficulty are briefly set
forth in the following dispatch:
CRIPPLE CREEK. June 1.-THE
Free Coinage Union No. 40, of
Altman, has issued a statement
which fully sets forth the miners
side of the case in the present
difficulty with the mine owners. It
r~ecites that on January l, of this
year, there we're 40 producing
mines IN the camp; hat Of these
39 we're working e~ight-hour shifts,
and nine were working 10 hours
for g. The bylaws of the union
provide that the regulation for the
camp shall not be interfered with,
unless 80 days notice is given the
mine owners. The miners gave
notice on or about January 20 that
they would demand 50. a day for
eight hours work. On Feb. /, J. j.
Hagerman posted notices on all
his properties that from that date,
nine hours work would be required
for 50. a day AMI S275 would be
paid for eight hours. The propO-
sition vas placed before the union
and was unanimously rejected. An
arbitration committee was appoint
ed. but the mine owners refused 10
meet the miners and the lockout
was ordered. The miners had re-
peatedly tried to arbitrate the diff
ferences with the mine owners, but
thus far failed. The document
states that not over 30 per cent Of
the members Of the union are of
the Catholic faith and not over 10
per cent are foreign born. They
claim that the fight has been
brought about by the hiring of
deputies and PinkertoDs by the
