THE EXAMPLE OF ALAMANCE

President Winston, Of our a. & "a.
College, was expected TO open the Ala
nance Fair with a speech. Being IN.
able to attend he sent the following
VIII h should interest our people
throughout North Carolina:
Mr. Junius II Harden, Secretary Ala
nance Fair, Burlington, N c.:
DEAR SIR:-I sincerely regret my in
ability to be with you aud address
your Peep g at the fair today. 1 had
anticipated very great pleasure form
seeing the fair, meeting the people and
sharing some thought with them on
industrial subj crs, but an attack OF
sickness makes it both difficult and
painful for me to get about. Il is i'm
possible for me to travel at this time.
Alsmanca is in many respects the
banner county Of North Carolina. Al
though fifty third in sis, it ranks
ninth in the value of It's rea' property
aud tenth in the value Of personal
property. In property listed by white
cit z ne, it stands 8 K b; IN the number
OF horses eight, in money on hand or
on deposit ninth, in solvent credits
tenth, 10 mechanics tools twelfth, in
household and kitchen furniture eigh
teenth, in farm utenslls nineteenth, In
value Of land per acre exclusive OF
to wn lots fourth, in average value of
town lots sixth.
Although Alamance ia not @ cotton
county, it makes more money from
cotton than any other county in the
State. excepting probably Mecklenburg
and CASTOR. The cotton profits OF Ala
nance county are greater than they
would be, if every man, woman and
child IN the county we're engaged IN
raising cotton.
Alamance county points the way to
prosperity for North Carolina: l0ca
markets for farm produces, maruf8c-
tured goods for foreign markets., i'm
ported raw material for manutac;ur-
ing urposes AlamaCce is daily grow
ing 10 wealth, population, improved
lands, improved stock and variety OF
agricultural products In the value OF
her lands she is led only by Dlrham
and CASTOR, her great manufacturing
rivals, and closely followed by Neck
burg aud Blncombe.
Alamence county has solved the
problem of raising the price OF cotton
She raises to Is cents a pound the
value Of every bale that comes within
her borders. Alamance county lives
at home. S le lives on the profits of
cotton grown else where and thus gives
a lesson to North Carolina. She allows
others to compete in the growing OF
cotton at 5 cents per pound. Her
competition is to raise the price OF
manufactured cotton TO the highest
point per pound that skill and ma
cbinerv a carry it. Her competition
ia at the TOP instead of at the bottom.
In another generation the number OF
her factory operatives will be treoled'
and the value of her lands will be at
least doubled farming will begin to be
profitable, with local market and good
roa Is; fruits, berries, vegetables, poul
try. eggs, butter, milk, cheese, beer,
mutton and pork, sold for daily con-
sumption in growing towns and cities,
will daily put money into the farmers'
p7ckets; manufactured goods, shipped

The passing Of the Vanderbilt estate
to the heirs has recalled public atten
tion to an important feature of the
war-revenue lay. That law intro
duced into our National budget a tax
which modern democracy has devel
oped into great Importance in most Of
the countries of western Europe, and
into still greater importance in some
of the self governing States Of Switz.
erland and of Australasia. Il pro.
vides that all personal estates in ex
GEES of so, 600 should be taxed, accord
ing TO their amount, at rates ranging
from three qlarteTs Of o1e per cent
To ITO and a quarter per cent. when
inherited by children or parents, and
rates ranging from five to fifteen per
cent when inherited By a very distans
relatives, ''straugers in blood" or o
porations. Some disappointment was
felt when the eve1u9 fcom these
taxes during the frat year aggregated
only a few hundred thousand dollars,
whereas M. DingLey's estimates was
in the neighborhood of ten millions.
This disappointment, however, was
only due to the fact that Rdministra
tors of estates nearly everywhere took
advantage of the full time allowed them
before making the settlements re
quired. The inheritanc3s OF personal
property Of ~citiz9ns who died last year
must. as a rule, be distributed this
year, and the distribution is illegal I'd
less taxes ara paid There is reason
to believe that the revenue collected
this year will even exceed Mr.. Ding
ley estimates.
The amount of personal property
in the country aggregates abou5 $40
600, 900, coo, and as the death rate
among property is q in every
thirty six about 81, OCO. 900. 900 must
become subject to the duty yearly. As
the ordinary raEe Of duty is nearly
one and a half per cent our G )vern
ment, like the English, may expect
nearly $15 600, 900 a year from this
source. II peace is re established,
next year may fad this country nearly
as independent of customs revenue as
Great Britain. Last year thu Ma 5lon's
receipts, from internal revenue we're
$273, 600, 900. Or just about it's ordinary
expenditure eacn year for 1872 ill 189 Z.
Our revenues from customs duties
were but 1906 600, GOO, and the restora
ton Of normal peace expenditures
would make half this sum-Or exactly
the English customs revenue-suH
Gent. o. course it is not certain that
the Nation will choose to reduce it's
customs duties rather than have new
internal taxes, out the alternative will
be presented. The new inheritance
tax seems especially likely to renal,
as nearly all clas ses accept its Justice
save toward bequfs SIS to educational or
philanthro pic institutions. The pros
oective share Of the public in the Van
derbilt estate is something We are q
able to figure upon. The Gould estate
$72 900 OOO, which was divided hve or
six years ago yielded the State OF
New York 500, 900. and would have
yielded the National Government 81
500 900 had the new Federal law been
in force.-NeW York Outlook.

AN IMPoR ANTITRUST DE-
CISION.

The decision Of the Supreme Court
Of Illinois against the Glucose Sugar
Refining Company shows that combi-
nations of competing factories may
often be prevented az easily as COM
OinatiOns of competing banks. The
Glucose Company was organized under
the corporation laws cf New jersey,
and seams to have done nothing in Illi-
nOis not authorized by the New Jer-
sey statutes. BIT the Illinois laws of
course govern transactions within that
State, and the Illinois laws, as the
Court holds, forbid one corporation to
sell it's property to a competitor if the
transaction has the IF ct of regulat.
ing prices, limiting competition, or
controlling produc ion. as Illinois
forms a large part Of the ''corn belt,"
in which alone glucCs3 can be success
fully manufactured, ard as he decis-
ion declares null and void the transfer
oy sale Of any Illinois factory to the
National combination, the blow admin.

Importance. 1t is true that somewhat
similar decision was once rendered in
Ohio against the Standard Oil Trust,
but in this case no serious fleets we're
anticipated, as the practical control of
the oil bUsineFs by a handful of men
made their united action almost I'm.
avoidable. If a few men owned the
country's banking business, even our
National banking law could not pre-.
vent the banks from forming a practi-
cal trust. The glucose business more
nearly resembles that Of the banks,
az relatively small corporations may
be organized in a large numb3r Of
places to carry it on. The decision Of
the Illinois coUrS that these corpora
tions may not sell out to other corpc-
rations-any more than q National
bank may sell out to another il the eff.
feet of the sale is to limit competition,
seems to preclude the establishment of
a monopoly for some time to come.
The magnitude of the victory for anti
trust legislation ia so great that friends
as well as foes hesitate in estimating its
effects until they learn whether it is to
be followed by other decisions re curing
release of the property of similar srusts

W HYPOORITE.

THE CITIZEN has worked since its es-
tablishment for the supremacy OF the
republican party in this city, county and
territory. In the campaign two years ago
II was the only daily republican news
paper In the territory. and met the COM
binsd attack OF all the democratic sheets
In the territory. Last fall the republican
party won q signal victory, and the
Democrat turned on its party, deserted
its supporters and friends and Is now
trying to creep into the republican party
and dictate the policy OF local elections.
Mr.. Grant wishes to get hold Of the re-
publican party and use 1t in furthering
his schemes against the best interests OF
the people OF this city and county. He
and his paper are sure TO be an injury to
the republican party. He has no more
conception OF political principles than a
Cuban patriot has OF self government.
He Is willing 20 be democrat or republi-
can providing his corporations are pro-
tected by the powers that be.

principles should prevail. 1t has not at
any time wavered in its advocacy Of re-
publican principles and measures and
has faithfully supported the republican
ticket al every election. At the same
time 1t has fought the democrats openly
and fairly, and at the present time Thu
CITIZEN commands the respect Of the
democrats, which Is more thai. the morn,
