THE COMMONWEALTH has from time
to time called the attention Of its farm
er readers to what we consider an i'm
portant matter, namely, the raising of
wheat. Perhaps the farmers of this
community spend as much money for
-four as for any one article of food. We
feel sure that the land owners spend
more money for flour than for any
other single article of supplies. 1t
seems to us that it would be wise on
the part of our farmers to save to them
selves this Item of expense by raising
wheat at home. They say that there
are no good Touring mills in this COM
munity. That may be true, but with
quantity of wheat raised sufficient to
justify the expense of putting in mills,
the mills would come. Let our iarm-
ers try it just three years.
The negro politicians loudly pro-
claim that there is no danger of negro
domination in North Carolina, and as
loudly declare that the colored race
does not desire social equality. It was
quite different a few days ago at
Rochester, N. r., where there were
monumental and commemorative ex-
ercises in honor OF Fred Douglass
John G. Dancy, an Edgecombe county
negro, now Collector of Customs at
Wilmington, N. c., delivered the ad-
dress. reviewing the life of Douglass.
The press dispatches sent out said !:
Several of the speakers expressed the,
hope that the time would come when
there would be actual equality be-
tween the races"
No, no; Dancy wouldn't say tnat
down here-lt IS not reported that he
said it at Rochester-neither is 1t re-
norted that he disagreed with tho SEN
timent.
White supremacy is the very least
that any seIf.respectlng white man
onpht to be satisfied with, or that any
reasonable colored man ought to ex-
pect.

The Cost Of Drink.

The newspapers tell us of an Indiana
grocer and saloon keeper who is said to
have issued the following notice:
"Notice is hereby given that, If you
will come to my store 3 times a day
during the next year, and purchase a
drink of whiskey each time, paying 10
cents a drink, at the end of the year 1
will donate 5 barrels of my best -four,
100 pounds of granulated sugar, lOC
pounds of rice, 10 pounds of coffee, 10
gallons of syrup, so yards of calico, 3
pair of shoes, one $40 clock for your
wife and then I will have 500 left to
pay for the liquor you drank"
Three 10 cent drinks day means
$1O9. so year. The grocer's rebate at
the end of the year sounds qnite gen.
erous, but there is good deal OF srlth-
metic which does not appear on the
surface in this offer. Both financially
and morally, it seems likely that the
purchaser of those 1,O95 drinks at 10
cents each would have much the worst
of the bargain.

THE REVOLVING TOWER.

THE REVOLVING TOWER.
Oh. De Vic and will consist Of a hecta-
gon tower, $50 feet high, and divided
into 25 stories.
The tower will be covered on the
outside with rich ornaments of nlckle
plate, aluminium, glazed tiles and
glass in very curious designs.
It will be illuminated with 1000 arc
lights and 10000 incandescent lamps
in most varied colors, and SO applied
that the architectural lines will be
plainly visible at night.
Near the top there will be chimes
comprising Ga tuned bells, and pow
erful organ worked by compressed air.
The tower ls to be crowned with a
weathercock Is feet high, anu covered
with about 1900 incandescent electric
lamps.
The entire building will revolve by
means of hydraulic apparatus in such
manner that it will take one hour TO
rotate once around its axis. Thus the
visitors of the tower can enjoy from
one point an ever-changing panorama
of the Exposition and of the city of
Paris and its beautiful surroundings.

Col. J. w. St. Claire, of Georgia, who
is here In Scotland Neck to conduct a
school of the single branch system,
says that he taught school in Onslow
county for Cy Thompson's father just
after the war. He says Cy was bright
boy and gave promise of better things
than he seems to be trying to bring to
pass now, namely, turn North Carolina
over to Republican rule for good and
all.
No doubt Cy had good training but
he is like the boys goat, he has got in
bad company. Those who loved him
then might, like the boy to his goat,
say "Billle, 1 love you, but l must

THE v1ND1cAT1oN OF PROTECTION.

The Associated Press dispatch from Lon
don setting forth that the manufacturers
of Europe view the wonderful development
of our export trade with solicitude must
be pleasing surprise to Americans who
have been told times without number that
so long as the country adhered to the pro-
tective policy it could not have large ex-
port of the products Of its manufacturing
establishments. Doubtless many people be-
Iieved the prediction of the free-trade peo-
pie and became resigned to what is called
our Chinese policy. For years we went on
importing foreign merchandise, though the
volume and variety has been falling off in
recent years, because we have been supply
ing ourselves. Now the chief weakness of
the Dingley tariff law, as alleged oy its OPP
ponents, is that SO few goods are imported
which pay duties that it will not furnish
adequate revenues. This year for the first
time our export Of what are classified as
manufactures exceeds the value of our i'm
ports Our iron manufacturers are in a
position to dictate the prices Of the world,
yet it was but few years ago that we
were large importers.
This prominence, which makes the United
States a most powerful competitor in the
markets of the world, is the result of the
protective policy which has prevailed along
most lines of production for years Behind
the wall of protection, capital and skill
have been encouraged to build up manu-
featuring industries to furnish goods to sup
ply the home markets. Competition became
INT .ba
bring forth labor-saving machinery. Enor-
nous plants. like those in the iron indus
try, cheapened production and stimulated
consumption. 1t was discovered two or
three years ago that pig iron could be made
cheaper in the United States than else
where in the world because of the extensive
methods of production. A few years ago we
purchased all of our tin plate; now our
manufacturers can make it at a cost which
will enable them to go into the open market
as a competitor. This is simply an illustra-
ton of what our people have been doing in
other lines of production.
If Congress years ago had accepted the
advice of the free-traders this country
would now be purchasing the bulk of the
manufactured merchandise it consumes in
Europe, as was the case in 1860, and which
continued until 1874. We should be furnish
ing the raw material and the food and pur-
chasing the varied products of the skilled
labor of the factory abroad, with an annual
adverse balance of trade which would
drain the country of all its gold and sill
yer, as was the result of the Walker tariff
for nearly ten years. Thus is the policy of
protection indicated.
