Cheering Revenu--Prospec
rom the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The rate at which the receipts from
customs duties reported by the
Treasury are increasing indicates
THAI the surplus revenue under the
new tariff will exceed the estimates
OF Chairman Wilson.
The customs duties collected the
last two days OF January averaged
almost $75O,0OO day At this
pace the tariff revenue for the calen-
dar year 1895 would mount up to
an unprecedented sum.
There is good reason to believe
that the new tariff will yield a large
surplus. The increase of receipts
from customs du, les the first of Jan
uary was attributed to the fact that
the new woollen tariff then took
effect, and the increase was consid-
cred temporary But after the great
rush of impo' ted woollens was over
the increase continued. and the re
ceipts on January 81 were $50, 1923.
There could be no better proof of
returning confidence and prosperity
in business than this increase OF i'm
ports, which promises to be sustained
when the epring opens and the pros
poet OF next summers crops inspires
fresh hope and enterprise. 1t is now
perfectly clear that the Senate should
at once pass the House bills repeal
ing the coal, iron and sugar-6ifferen-
tial duties as utterly needless for
revenue.

THE TOBACCO TRUST.

IL seems that the tobacco trust is
exerting every power to keep the to-
bacco planter out OF evidence in the
suit instituted against it by the
State of New Jersey. 1t appears
afraid to face the facts relating to
its connection with reduced prices OF
certain grades of tobacco in what was
once an open market. Touching
this phase OF the matter the New
York World makes the following per-
tinent observations:
eff tits not true that the American
Tobacco Company, generally called
the Cigarette Trust, is controlling
the market against both producer
and consumer, it can have no reason
to lear the introduction of testimony
to show its relation to the planters
of Virginia, North Carolina aud
other States which produce varieties
of tobacco in which it is most inter
ested.
Certainly there can be no good
reason for the indignation of the
trust attorney who in the Chauncery
Court of Jersey City denounced as an
outrage the request that testimony
should be permitted on behalf of the
planters to show the effects of the
trust on their crops.
The tobacco growing interest is
one of great Importance to the
entire country, and the courts have
the right to take cognizance of any
violation of law which affects it in
juriously. The annual tobacco crop
OF North Carolina alone reaches
81, 100000 pounds, worth $500,
900, while that of Virginia is 6S,-
soc. 600 pounds, worth 81 100000
New York, Connecticut and other
Atlantic States are also heavy pro-
ducers of tobacco, which if not al
ready affected in price by the trust is
liable to be if monopolistic combina-
tions are allowed to CONTROL the
market without the Inference of the
courts.
If the trust is operating to restrain
the activity of the tobacco trade, if
while it is expressing jobbers and
over retail dealers it is
at the same time controlling prices
against the growers, the courts have
a right to know it and they ought to
know it.

From the Atlanta Constitution
Our wife is attending the woman
suffrage convention in Atlanta.
Brethren, pray for usl
A correspondent writes to ask US
what we think of woman suffrage
Our reply is; Our wife will not be
home until next week.
BIllville has one lady candidate for
the legislature. A soon as we know
whether we believe in woman suffrage
or not, we will vote for her.
Major Jones' stirring editorial
against woman suffrage is left out
for the present. The major speaks
plainly, but it must be remembered
that he is a bachelor.
A telegram from our wife states
that woman suffrage ts right. This
is just as we have said all long, and
we never make a mistake when we
are sure of our ground.

IT sometimes happens that in our
anxiety to make a good thing better
or to secure it's benefits cheaper we
lose sight, in a measure, of the true
merits of the thing as it is. For in

1t is proposed to repeal the present
authority OF the Aldermen to tax
property owners with one half the
cost OF sidewalk improvements
We confess we have not formulated a
decided opinion upon this point.
Plausible argument may be made on
either side. Good sidewalks are
necessary-a great convenience to
the pubiic-and yet, in some in
stances, at least. the present tax
upon the property owners would
prove IL very serious burden, if a
general sidewalk improvement policy
should be inaugurat.d. Perhaps "a
compromise between the present law
and the one proposed-taxing the
property owner something, but not
so much as half-wOuld be nearer
right.
There may be other amendments,
| good or bad, proposed. We have
had to content ourselves with such
information as was given to uf

THE AMENDMENTS.

A copy of the bill to make Winston
Republican, otherwise known as 6
| bill to amend the charter of the city
of Winston, has been received here
| and we expected to be able to lay the
| full text before our readers today
but were unable to obtain the con
sent of all the parties having the
| copy in custody. One reason offered
for Directing to publication was that
the bill had not yet beer introduced
in the Legislature. We notice, how
ever, that Mr. Lineback, on last
Friday, offered a bill to amend the
charter of Winston and we take it
that this objection does not hold.
We were told the principal features
of the bill, which are as follows:
The time for holding the municipal
election is changed from February to
May. The object of this, we may
reasonably presume, is to hold the
election at a time when the negro
population is larger on account OF
resumption of work by the tobacco
factories. This will, of course, open
an avenue for fraud, in affording
opportunity to vote negroes who
have no permanent residence here.
The city is to be- divided into five
wards, but the Aldermen, fifteen in
number, as III as the Mayor, are to
be elected by the popular vote of the
city. That is, each voter will vote
for a Mayor and fifteen Aldermen
three Aldermen from each ward. So,
you see. the fraudulent voter in one
Ward not only effects the Ward in
which he lives, but every other Ward
as well. An analysis of these two
amendments reveals q deep-laid
scheme of political trickery to take
the government from the intelligence
and property of the city and place it
at the dictation of the ignorant,
non-property holding and non-resi-
dent elements, supervised by the
political bosses of Centerville, Salem
and Winston.
1t Ia proposed to repeal the juris-
diction now given the police within
one mile of the corporate limits.
This would simply be an outrage
and would offer temptation to the
lawless to make rendezvous of the
outskirts of the city, to the annoy
ance and danger of suburban resi-
dents and to the depreciation of
property. tits hoped that
better counsel will prevail and that
this proposition will be abandoned.
The timefor payment of city taxes,
mourning the penalty of the
ave per cent. additional, is to be ex-
tended from January LIST Of each

fighting, unseen by the world, battles
that called forth the heroism of a
manly nature.
In the midst of the terrible conflicts
he has looked wisrfully for rent in
the dark clouds that would permit
the sunshine of prosperity once more
to shed it's rays upon the flag OF
peace. Now and then fortitude has
been encouraged by signs of promise,
only to be soon eclipsed by another
storm cloud, another call to patience
and endurance.
Such has been the experience of the
great body OF the people, while the
few in whose interests Republican
legislation had been directed, revelled
in wealth and seemed to gloat over
| the disasters their own fortune build
ing had wrought.
In the meantime, a Democratic
Congress assembled and applied itself
brought upon the country by the
extravaganza and vicious legislation
of the preceding Republican billion
dollar Congress. The task was diff
cult, the remedial process VAS slow
and not as sure as the people had
expected, because Of treachery in our
own ranks in the Senate. However,
at last. legislation of an improved
character was effected and the hope
of the people grew brighter.
Before results accrued from this
salutary legislation, the repeated
raids of the money sharks upon the

problem became the paramount
question. Former hopes were shat

better to save one fallen woman at

foreign lands. A citizenship can
never be any better than mothers
make it. Men never rise higher in

about thirty days-about half the

There has been much chin music

prominent part in both solos and

made more plentiful. cotton has
actually gone down in price, and we
have not heard of any material ad-
vance in tobacco. The fact is but
little of general interest has been
done and it is better SO than that
many things proposed had been
done. The last half of the session
will probably be the worse half.
