The people of Wilmington who want
oranges for Christmas have a practical
Illustration Of the Dingley bill. Under the
Wilson or Cleveland tariff, the duty on
oranges was $3.50 per 1000 oranges.
Under the Dingley bill the duty is one
cent per pound or the equivalent of s.
per thousand oranges.
The British schooner Mabel Darling
arrived here a few days ago from
Nassau, New Providence, with a cargo
oranges and they have been selling
at $40 per thousand at the vessel
When she came here during the oper-
alton of the Wilson bill oranges sold a,
$3.50, $40 anw $12 per thousand, and
never exceeded $15 per thousand.
This is but a same of the effect
of h Dingley bill on hun
dreds Of other articles poor people buy
to eat and wear.

Mr.. w. W. Ashe, forester of the
North Carolina geological urvey in
his report, says of the waste lands in
this tate, that they number 1000. 900
acres in the southeastern counties
alone. He thinks if they We're well
timbered they would bring into the
state treasury each year a half mill
lion dollars. This is d~eplorable
waste of opportunity and money if
we'll based. He says:
This great area of waste land lies
in Richmond, Moore. Cumberland,
Harnett, Bladen, Brunswick and other
southeastern counties, which ave a
considerable area of the loose, sandy
soil. 1t is unsuited for general agri-
cultural purposes, that is, for ordinary
field crops, on account Of it's poor
ness, and it will certainly be a great
many years., at the present rate OF
utilization, before even one-half of it
is demanded for trucking or fruit cul-
ture.
As it we'll known, this land was once
all timbered with long-leaf. or yellow
pine, but as the pine was destroyed by
fires, or the timber removed in lum-
bering, not only did no young growth
of this pine spring up, but it vas fol-
lowed by the growth Of no valuable
or even large sized tree. Thickets OF
scrub oaks took possession, which car
yield only a limited amount of fuel, and
nothing more. That this condition is
due to the frequent burnings, which are
far more destructive to the young
growth of the pine than to that of the
thick barked oaks, together with the
RI va proS Of tho hog rth9f CAT tho r0Otc
Of the young pines as we'll as the seed
is a fact too we'll known to be more
than mentioned"
Writing in the agricultural bulletin
he points out the way to better man.
agement and to restock the lands with
proper growth of trees. The Messenger
is an advocate of tree planting, and
those waste lands" should be utilized
by the state and promptly.

O. HOW TO RAISE THE WIND

AS to the steadily growing Dlngley-
Nick inley deficit the talk of Senator
Allison is not without interest. He is

ability. He thinks the new drag net

Two. He says by that time 1--WE can
see where we are. coming out He
adds with commendable candor, that
he does not regard the present pros
meet of adequate revenue from the act
Els very bright. If we find that the
new law does not do all that is expect
ed of it, we certainly ought to supplant
it with additional legislation" He
says there will be no difficulty I'm
finding things to tax if more money is
TO be raised" He says 1--WE could put
a tax on tea; or a stamp tax on checks,
mortgages, ETC.; or an increased tax
on beer; or an inheritance tax; or some
Kind of an income tax. There are ways

don the protective tariff to raise the
growing deficiency by an income tax,
YOU at once confess the failure of your
Pet theory, protection, as a revenue
