a SERMON IN RHYME.

If YOU have a friend worth loving.
Love him-yes, and let him know
That vnu love him ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
OF friend till he is dead?
Ii YOU hear a song that thrills you,
Sung by any child of song,
Praise lido not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart:
If YOU hear prayer that moves you
BY its humble, pleading tone,
Join lido not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength Of two or three in prayer?
If you see the hot tears falling,
Falling from brothers eyes,
Share them-and thus by the sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When a brothers heart is sad?
If silvery laugh is rippling
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share tits the wise mans saying,
For both grief and joy place.
| There's health and goodness in the mirt
| In which an honest laugh has biltG.
| If YOUR work is made more easy
| BY a friendly, helping hand,
Say so-Speak out brave and truly
| Ere the darkness veil the land
| Should a brother workman dear
| FalIer for word OF cheer?
! Scatter thus Your seeds of kindness,
| All enriching as you go;
, Leave them: trust the Harvest Giver,
! He will make each seed to grow.
| SO until life 5 happy end,
| You shall never lack a friend.

STAND BY THE FLAG.
( Durham SUM-

durham sum-
If people will stop to think about it,
and lay aside all of their petty spites
and dissatisfied notions, they will see
that the present Democratic admins
tration has accomplished much that
should entitle it to the respect and
full confidence of the people. All
reforms must necessarily go through
storm of abuse and violent opposition.
You need not expect anything else.
The Democratic party must be trusted
to carry out its reforms, and it will be,
because it has justified thus far the
confidence of the country, save the
obstruction of few men who are more
selfish than patriotic. Having cut
down the Mckinley tariff, it must be
allowed to cut down the blighting and
sitting monoplies, and to unshackle
the labor Of the country, SO that work
ing men will not have TO form militant
organizations to protect themselves
from industrial slavery. This the
Democratic party will do with all
possible celerity. Its chart and its
principles are definite. Its mission is
unmistakable. 1t has lived through
defeats because its cause is holy. To
have the control of the government
taken away from it now would be to
make labor absolutely hopeless. Such
an event is inconceivable save upon
the premise that the people have
become entirely blind to their interests.
But as revolutions never go backward
SO the Democratic party will continue
in power until its mission shall have
been accomplished, or the party shall
have proved faithless. A year hence
the country will be more prosperous
than at any other period in its history
for the effect of Democratic legislation
will then be seen in the contentmen'
of labor, in more equitable division
of wealth, and in the increasing op
portunities for profitable employment
of both labor and capital. Democrat:
must, accordingly, take courage and
stand by the party flag.

Tonight it enters an humble home

To-day it strikes crust from the lips

1t is flexible to cajole, but merciless

peace and order, the despoiler of men,
the terror of women, the cloud that

more souls unsaved to judgment than

boston Transcript. !

The South has always been a distinc-
lively agricultural section of the United
States, and but for the wasteful methods
which seemed the inevitable &C
compartment of labor, it is doubtful if
the West even with its almost bound
less fields of unsurpassed fertility, could
ever have SO completely usurped the
place which seemed the natural pro-
vince of the South. Of course, the war
had much to do towards breaking
down the prestige of the rebellious
States as farming country, but prior
to the war there never were any
inducements held out to the agricul-
tural class to come there and make it
their home, and by consequence i'm
migration, and the surplus population
of the East drifted West necessarily.
There was no other place for it to go.
1t is only since the war that the spirit
Of enterprise has infused the Southern
tier of States, and this spirit has shown
itself in various ways, principally in
manufactures and mining operations.
Latterly, Immediately because of the
bad crops in certain sections of the
West, resulting from Billiards, droughts
and destructive insects, the Southern
States are holding out inducements to
the farmers of the far West to pull
stakes and come to Dixie land. And
the invitations would seem to be
hardened to, for we are told that an
advance body of farmers from western
Nebraska have arrived North Carolina
and have given assurance that, if they
like the look of things there, they will
be followed by large numbers of their
Nebraska brethren. This corroborated
by dispatches from Nebraska that long
trains of canvass covered wagons are
constantly passing through that place
filled with disheartened settlers who
are anxious to find homes elsewhere,
and that as many as 10000 of them
have left since the failure of this years S
crops. There is news of similar
IAOESHASAt3 IIOtu NCotC1u Ndliodo, dliu
also from Eastern Colorado. The
North Carolina papers offer welcome
to these people, tell them that land
can be bought Or leased there on easy
terms, and declare that the Old North
State is just the place for them. Other
Southern States are desirous Of attract
ing the fugitives from Nebraska, Kansas,
Colorado and Oklahoma.
So the South may come to its own
again-that is 10 say, it may become
what it is peculiarly fitted for in soil,
climate, accessibility to the markets OF
the North and of the world, and cheap
and abundant labor-a prosperous
farming community.

Gov. Carr, of North Carolina
received the same telegram from the
WorM. In reply he said:

This Should Interest Our Farmers.

A circular issued from the United
States Agricultural Department says :
" Equal parts Of wheat and corn
should prove better for fattenlng ami
mails than either of these grains alone.
For growing animals corn is plainly
not so suitable as wheat or oats. When
wheat and corn are the same price per
bushel, it is preferable to feed wheat
and sell corn. The best form in which
TO feed wheat is to roll or grind il
into a coarse meal. 1t may then be
fed alone or mixed with corn oil
ground oats, when possible, be mixed
with some other grains, and care
should be taken to prevent any one
animal getting more than the quantity
intended for it. Wheat screenings are
in general as valuable food 70
animals as the plump, sound wheat.

CHEAPER CLOTHES.
The New Tariff Law Considered
and Contrasted.
New York World.l

Under our old time free wool policy
hocks increased in numbers and the
price of wool was maintained because
there was demand for wool. For
eign woods are needed for admiXture
with our own woods in this country,
and when their importation is dimin-
| ished by tariff duty the demand for
American woods necessarily falls off.
Under high protection on woods f1ocks
Of sheep have diminished and prices
Ion wool have gone uown. Already
the price of domestic wool has in
creased in this country since the pass
age of the Senate bill. A month ago
American woods sold in New York and
Boston for from 10 to 54 cents a
pound, according to quality. Since
| then the demand has increased, and
the prices now range from 22 to 81
cents.
Clothes will be cheaper because the
tax on imported cloth and clothing
has been reduced. AS wool is free,
the old compensatory duty is abolished.
Under the Mckinley law the rate of
duty on cheaper woollen cloth was
from $50 to 16s per cent. and on
dearer cloth from SO to 90 per cent.
Under the new bill it will be from Is
to 50 per cent The duty on knit
goods was from 81 to 100 per cent.
The tax on blankets was from 50 to
% per cent. 1t will range from IS
to 40. On hannels the rate was from
s. to 1o5. It will be from IS to 40.
Women's dress goods paid from 81 to
100, cioaks 81 per cent. All these
will pay 50 per cent. Carpets paid
from 81 to 50 per cent. They will
pay from 80 to AZ
We have been considering woollen
cloth worthy of the name. Cheap
woollen cloths are not unknown in
this country, but cheap all wool cloths
are not made here. AS the manufac
turers cold not buy the foreign woods
needed for making cheap cloths, they
/; were obliged to resort to shoddy and
other substitutes for wool. The con-
sequence is, as statistics show, that the
average American woollen cloth is
about half shoddy. Moreover, the
shoddy business has grown as the bust
ness of raising wool has decreased
under the nigh protective system.
Americans who have wanted good and
durable clothes have been obliged to
buy imported cloth and pay the tax.
There is no reason why honest, cheap
wool!ens may not be made in this
country with free wool.
