Great Fortunes Grow Greater.

Ox0oG
From the times of our fathers has
decended to us the habit of saying
that in this country, with no laws
Of entail or promogeniture, gre. +
fortunes are soon disslpated and the
sons Of millionaires become poor.
This was true when the millionaires'
money was invested in legitimate
business, brains always being neces-
sary to make legitimate business
pay. But the large fortunes are now
invested in monopOlies. Here are .
few prominent instances of the re-
suits:
according to the calculations of .
New York paper, the Gould estate in
two generations increased from $72,-
OOO, 600 to $125, 900 600. In four
generations the Aston estate has
swollen from $40 000. 900 to 1915, co.,
600, In three generations Il Van
derbilt estate has increased from
O.OOO, 900 to $4OO, 0OO, 0O0."
The family whose wealth is safely
invested in any well-grounded mo-
nopoly, or in bonds and mortgages,
the axed interest proceeds Of which
increase IN purchasing power as
prices are hammered down by the
goldbug policy, cannot very we'll
squander that wealth. Instead Of
disappearing, all Of the well-known
large fortunes are increasing in size
at q portentous rate. Meanwhile
the small fortunes are those Of rs
who handle picks, plows, etc., show
no percentage Of increase Whatever.
While monopolies Are being fostered
by legisla ton q man must be q mo-
nopolist or the servant Of monopo-
lists.

The Agricultural Department, late
" known in the partisan parlance
OF the Democratic press as 1.-The
Manure-pile OF the Administration"
has, under its new regime, been Civ
en- new christening by these self
same authors of its late disparaging
epithe,; and the Agricultural De-
partment is now known in Demo
cratic diction by the simple but odor-
ferrous title of "The Rose-bed.' A
beautiful al pelliation, to be sure;
and one which does infinite credit to
tho ingenious minds Of the gentle
men in charge of the soubriquet de-
partment of the Democratic machine
shop. We admire the name and
rejoice in its appropriate applica'
ton to u state department, but of iii
appropriateness a doubt harrassei
ue,-a doubt born of a Statement
which recently appeared in the Char
lotte Observer over the signature o
Democrat of Perquimans county
in the form Of an open letter ad
dressed TO the Democratic Board o
the Agricultural Department, com
planning that they had appointed
Democrat az fertilizer inspector VIII
was entirely without character an
who bears a reputation of ranker OF
der than the fertilizer he lnspect
OF the man thus appointed and th
charge against him, we have nothin
to say; as it is simply matter of d.
nestle infelicity in the Democrat
household, which we regard as nor
of our business. But the questio
that presents itself to our minds
this: Does such an unsavory recol
smell of the perfume of roses in Il
nostrils of those who knowing it
be a part of the Agricultural Depal
ment have bestowed upon that i
stitution it's new name of RosebeC
But we are not complaining of &
name. 1t is one calculated to 81
all. Its authors may regard it
appropriate; and the rest of the eta
will appreciate it as q thing of bea
ty. And certainly there's no hal
done; for, after all, Nv hats in

Teller for Fusion In 1900.

United States Senator Henry NJ.
Teller and Congressman John E
Shafroth, in statements, emphatical-
ly declared in favor of maintaining
the silver Republican organization,
not only in Colorado, but through
out the Union. They say that the
silver question will be the para
mount issue in 1900. Mr.. Teller
says that the sound money Demo-
Gratis will not be able to control the
Democratic Convention, and that, as
in 1896. they will support the Repub-
lican candidate. de says that the
Democratic Convention will reaffirm
the platform of 1896 and that the
party must and will be allied with
the silver Republican party and the
Populist party, both of which must
maintain their organizations and
lend all their aid to win q victory in
the great battle of 1900. Mr.. Teller
expresses no preference as to candi-
dates, but Mr.. Shafroth suggests the
nomination of Bryan and Towne.
he says that there is complete sill
yer Republican organic alton in each
of thirty-two States and at least that
number will be represented in the
national convention.

When the last Legislature was in
session the News and Observer
called upon the Legislature to in
crease the assessment Of railroad
property i'm the State from thirty
two million to sixty-six million
dollars, IL we remember correctly.
Further than that, the News and
Observer with facts and figures and
unanswerable argument, proved
that even with this increase Of as
sessment i'm railroad property that
still the railroads would not be
paying as much of their share of
taxation as the average citizen OF
the State pays. The Legislature
refused to take such action, but
passed a resolution instructing the
Corporation Commission to take
the matter in hand. Recently the
Corporation Commission took this
matter under consideration, and
instead Of increasing the assess.
ment Of railroad property from
thirty-two million to sixty-six mil
lion, they made an increase of Less
than one-third of that amount. The
next morning, strange to say, the
News Il Observer threw up it's hat
with a shout Of victory, and con
graduated the State upon having
such a brave and righteous Corpo
ration Commission, and said thai
a forty-two million assessment
which was less than one-third o
the increase which it said was iai
few months ago, was ample ant
sufficient, and should satisfy every
honest man in the State. We sub
NIT that the News and Observe

to explain what caused its opinion

The American Economist, q rank
protection paper published in New
York, and which, even through the
campaign of 1896, refused to recog-
nize any other issue than the tariff,
is rejoiced at the declaration of Mr..
Havemeyer that protection is the
mother of all trusts, because it is in
the direction of making the tariff the
issue. The Economist is quick to
pick up the gauntlet, and has the
following to say by way of counter
challenge:
"Unfortunately for him, he be-
gins with q "half-truth"-viz., that
"the mother of all trusts is the Gus
toms Tariff bill" Nobody has eve,
predicted for trusts anything like
immaculate conception, SO if they
have any "mother" at all they must
have also q "father," and as the
eldest of the brood is the great ole
she" trust Of them all, the "Alkal
Trust" of England with "kid" OF
this side of the water), papa's name
must be Free Trade"
| A little far-fetched, isn't iti Blu
then its meaning is clear enough
The Republican will say to the Dem
ocrat: You may swear as loud as
you please that protection is thu
cause of trusts, but We will swear Al
stoutly that it is free trade. If the,
can raise this issue, what a pretty
contest it will be,-with the trust
