THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.

At a conference of representatives
Of various Southern cities and Chicago
business men Thursday it was decided
to open the Chicago and Cotton States
Exposition in Chicago August i, 1896
and keep it open for three months.
The plan is that the Southern States
will collect the exhibits, bring them to
Chicago and install them at their own
expense. Chicago viii provide buildings
for the exposition, with not less than
100000 square feet Of floor space and
will pay all the cost Of maintaining
the exposition.
The original idea was to bold an ex-
position Of Southern cotton products
IN Chicago III order to demonstrate 10
the people Of the North the South's
progress III cotton manufacturing and
development. Such an exhibit could not
tail to be OF incalculable benefit to this
section, but since the movement was
begun theieleao feSfending the general
plan to include IN exposition Of all
Southern products has been determin-
ed upon.
The Chicago Times-IIerald points
out some Of the benefits Of the pro-
posed exposition as follows:
eJ'he rapid removal of the cotton
manufacturing industries To the
South, and the fact that the nhW mills
can save an average of III cents a
pound, which the New Egnland mills
have 10 pay for freight on their raw
cotton, would soon make the South
the base Of supplies for Chicago dry
goods iobbers If il. were not for the
fact that IA iniemitons rate discrimi-
nation still makes II cheaper TO bring
such goods via NeW York instead of
direct. The consequent handicap TO
commerce is as disastrous to Southern
manufacturers and growers rs to the
merchants anti consumers Of the
Northwest
'I'he proposed exposition, whether
I'll bc limited to cotton and cotton
goods on whether it lie made to include
ali Southern products, Will demon
strafe tie necessity for breaking down
the old barriers. 1t therefore means
for Chicago the possibility Of gaining
access to that one-qnarter Of its natiir-
81 domain from which it is now eX-
Guided by New York capitalists and
Southern apathy, 10 the South it
means tile possibility of furnishing
Chicago aud the Northwest with $780,
100000 of cotton goods annually. To
each it means the opening up or u new
commercial empire. 10 both il offers
new elements Of permanent prospect

THE NEXT COTTON CROP.

The belief is growing throughout the
cotton States of the South that the
planters are preparing TO plant in cot
ton an increased acreage. This. as the
News and Observer has often sought
to point out, would be grave mistake.
The farmers of North Carolina are
deeply interested in the production Of
only such crop as will bring good
prices, and they will make grave mis-
take If they allow the advances in price
during 1895 to cause them to overlook
the dictates of reason and facts rela~
tive to production and consumption Of
cotton. Cotton and tobacco are our
principal money crops and good prices
for these products mean prosperity
for North Carolina and the whole
South. The experience of the last few
years should be sufficient lesson.
Overproduction means starvation
prices, limited production means
clear money in the pockets Of the
farmer
In the Savannah, Ga, News appears
the following editorial in relation to
this years crop, showing how neees-
sary it Is for all the people Of the
South that prudence and Judgment
should control and that an increased
acreage should be avoided. The News
says: "shall the output Of the next
cotton crop be 100000 bales or TO-
o0o.oOo bales? Not only the whole cot

A Duty to Keep in Mind.

Every voter who doesn't believe in
Organism. has a duty to perform and
it is one to keep in mind. We have,
| once before this, alluded to the need
of every sound money voter exercising
his privilege next week, Tuesday. The
growing certainty of Bryan's defeat
does not lessen this duty. Indeed, the
importance Is all the more grave when
we perceive the Popocrats making
ready to alight as gracefully as posi-
BILE.
The announcement that Bryan has
given up the hope of winning,is not i'm
probable. We are unable to see how he
of hope. much less the certainty attri-
buted to him. The feeling is rapidly
becoming more general that the states
of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Iowa,
without two or more of which Mr..
I:ryan cannot win in any event, are
going just the way Maine went last
! month. Indeed those in the sound
money ranks who have the best facili-
ties for forming accurate judgment eX
press the most absolute confidence in
the result. The principles which will
inspire such results in those states
cannot but have proportionate effect
upon other states not bound down ut

| is going deep into it's pockets. every
| device is resorted to with desperation.
and if not openly avowed it Is no Sc

poll as big a vote as possible. in order
that the result may not altogether
| overwhelm the possibility of a resur-
| rection of the free silver craze.

is appalling. The country can i'll afford

vote is one of the things most earnest

The Armenian Question.

.s We publish, elsewhere in this issue,a
sermon by Rev. Jas.sS Williamson of
this city. in which he very ably de-
tends the resolution adopted at the re-
cent meeting Of the American Mis-
sionary association in Boston assert
ing that our people and our govern
ment are under obligations to offer an
asylum to those (Armenians) who have
escaped the massacre with their lives"
The secular press which, up to this
point. has done everything in it's power
for the oppressed Armenians, and was
very active in raising the funds
with which Clara Barton has carried
on her relief work, dissents from the
view expressed in this resolution. 1t
asserts that not only is the United
States under no obligations to fur
nish the oppressed people of this, or
any other foreign land. an asylum"
but that the establishing of such a
precedent as is contemplated by this
resolution would be fraught with seri-
GUS menace to the future of the repub-
lie.
The motives of the Christian men and
women who passed this resolution were
above reproach. They were animated
by warm and generous sympathy for
an oppressed and downtrodden people
We are glad to present their side
of this question in the clear, and able
words of Mr.. Williamson.
At the same time we must dissent
from the position assumed by them
We believe that their resolution was q
child of sympathy, rather than OF
judgment. We have been thrilled witt
