WHAT OTHERS SAY.
THE TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL.
WILMINGTON Star

THE TRUTH IN A NUTSHELL.
Wilmington Star.
Senator Pritchard broke the monotony
in the Senate several days ago with a
set speech in the beauties and benefits
of high protective tariff, in the course
of which he incidentally alluded to
North Carolina thus:
The citizens of my State have not
been backward in entering upon the de-
veopment of her industries and the
whirr of her spindles and the click of the
loom in hundreds of cotton mills is daily
teaching her people the great lesson of
industrial expansion. Prosperity has come
to North Carolina to stay"
AS a statement of fact this reference
to the ''whirr of the spindle and click of
the loom" is true but the inference that
Senator Pritchard would have drawn
from it. namely, that it is the result of
the protection given by Republican tariffs
is not true. The high tariff has nothing
to do with it. 1t has been going on stead
lily for twenty years, or more, and pro-
ceeded as rapidly if not more so under
the Wilson low tariff than it did before
or since, under the higher Republican
tariffs. The fact is that the classes of
goods manufactured in Southern mills
receive practically no protection. while
the higher classes manufactured in the
Northern mills do; but the Northern mills
have suffered from depression while the
Southern unprotected mills have gone
right along, have prospered and increas-
ed and paid dividends enough to encOur-
age the building of more mills. Protec-
ton isn't in it,

DEWEY. BAGLEY. HOBSON.
Ohio Republican Platform.

ONO Republlcan Platform,
We send greeting to Admiral Dewey
whose maritime victory at Manila eclips
ed in cost and courage any naval victory
of the world. TO the friends and rela
tives of Ensign Bagley, whose noble
young life was the first forfeit of the
war, we send coincidence. TO Lieuten-
ant Hobson and his comrades whose
brave deed in sinking the Merrimac in
Santiago harbor has made them heroes
and endeared them to their country, we
send cheer and greeting, and commend
the anticipated action of the President
and Congress in recognizing, in Il fitting
way their courageous and heroic con-
duet. and we demand that their treat
ment as prisoners of war shall accord
with the rules and usages of civilized
warfare.

Wilmington Messenger.

Wilmington Mcssenger.
l1nsign Bagley will be remembered.
With torpedo boat named after him
and Boston talking of calling n square
in his honor he will not be forgotten
soon. Lieutenant Victor Blue is being
justly praised for his gdllantry. The
New York Tribune devotes special
editorial in its issue of the 10Th inst. to
his fine exploit" and it says it should
be mentioned with grateful praise. With
Bagley and Blue already heroes of North
Carolina, their praises being celebrated
all around the American union, and with
new interest in Lieutenant Hobson. who
was born of North Carolina parents, it
must be admitted that the 'Old North
State" is doing something well worthy
of hearty commentator.

The New York Herald is probably
right in saying that the reason the Span
iards decline to exchange Hobson is be-
cause he knows too much about Santi-

structor and there is no doubt that his
practiced eye has taken in every strong
and weak point at Santiago. The Span
iards may well fear this able hero.
