serious reduction in the price of
everything the farmer has to sell
In other words we are in danger Of
being smothered in our sweetness.
The only possible remedy is reel
proc;ty with foreign nation, the en-
largement of our foreign markets
the opening up of the Isthmian canal
and the establishment of regular
steamship lines to South American
ports on both oceans, and facilities
for our trade on what is ~henceforth
to be ar American lake, the Pacific
Ocean.
It is gratifying to know that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has pledged himself
to follow out Mckinley g policy on all
these lines, and more gratifying to
know that no changes in his own
convictions will be necessary to en-
able him to carry out that policy. If
these policies are adopted, the farmer
can safely look forward to a number
of years of prosperity, barring
drouth and other providential hin
ORANGES of which he does not oom-
plain. The American people are able
to furnish the great bulk of food
products cheaper than any other
nation in the world. With the cheap
est raw material, the cheapest long
distance transportation, the most
complete machinery and the most
highly skilled labor, they are pre-
pared to meet all oomers and gOers
in all the markets of the world. All
that is needed now is just govern
ment, efficient administration of the
laws, the regulation of corporations,
and good farming.
In these changes some special in
terests will suffer, some in fact that
we do not like to see suffer but in
this as in everything else the good
of the individual must give way to
the whole people, allace's Farmer.

President Roosevelt, (who evi-
IDENTIFY forgot at the time that he is
the son of a Southern mother,) in
vited Booker Washington to dine
with him one day last week, and the
negro educator accepted. This was
an ill starred affair. In thus break
ing one of the most necessary and
inexorable laws of society, Mr..
Roosevelt has, TO say the least of it,
shown very bad taste, while Wash
ington has forfeited in some degree
the confidence and sympathy of the
Southern white people.

The Thinkers.


Now that the American people have
laid away all that remains on earth
of their beloved President in the
grave in his own town of Canton,
Ohio, they will have time to think
of the tremendous significance of his
utterances in the speech delivered at
Buffalo the day before his assassina-
ton HIS assassination alone pre-
vented that speech from being the
subject Of world wide discussion ex
elusive of every other great topic
from that day to this, for in it he
announced practically the death of
what has been known as "MoKinley-
ism" Or protection for the sake Of
~protectIpn, the neglect of the foreign
market for the sake of building up Il
home market), when he announced
that the period of 'exclusiveness had
passed and in fact that the prohibi
tive system having served it's pur-
posa must be laid away, and that the
polloy Of lower tariffs must be
adopted TO increase the competitive
power of the American people.
Those who have been in close touch
with the administration have known
for some time that the President and
his advisers would publicly take this
stand. The appointments of Mr..
Kasson TO negotiate reciprocity treat
les, the negotiation Of these treaties
and their presentation in the Senate
for approval, shows that the mind Of
the administration has been drifting
in this direction for some time. The
fact that these treaties were not
acted upon and that Mr.. Kasson re-
signed 1--WE think we SHOULD not be
cutting it too strongly in saying in
disgust) shows that the new policy
will not be adopted without oppo-
sitiOn on the part of Senators whose
constituents have an undue advant
age by reason of the present tariff.
So strong is this hostility and SO
great the prejudice of the rank and
file of the Republican party against
any change, that there was danger
that reciprocity GOULD not be secured
without political revolution. The
voices of Blaine and Mckinley speak
ing to as from the grave will do very
much towards inaugurating a re
form which we have long regarded
as essential to the permanenoe Of
our present prosperity.
What we need now is not a home
market, but a foreign market. In
many lines of manufacture we have
enough factories, if u seven
months in the year, TO supply all the
legitimate wants of the American
people in these lines. These factories
are dumping their products on the
foreign markets at cut prices and it
is only a question of time when
cut prices will have to be &C
cepted at home. This means no
increase of factories, q reduc-
ton OF wages or hours or both.

MEETING OF NATIONAL FARMERS CON
GREss.

The National Farmers Congress
has just held an interesting session
at Sioux Falls, S. D. We note with
much pleasure that the Grout bill
was unanimously approved we hope
that the friends of this measure will
spare no effort tO secure it's passage
at the coming session of Congress.
We are also pleased at the selection
of Col. Beneham Cameron, of this
State, as second Vice-President of
the Congress. The Country Gentle
man reports that he was also instru-
mental in securing the passage of
the resolution urging the early con-
~struction of the Nicaragua Canal.
The newly elected officers are Presi-
dent, George L Flanders, of New
York; Vice Presidents, Harvie JOr-
dan, of Georgia, and Beneham Cam
eron, of North Carolina Secretary,
John M. Stahl, of Illinois. The Vice
President for North Carolina is Col.
John s. Cunningham.
Since the above was put in type,
we have learned that it is quite prob
able that the next session of the Con
gross will be held in Raleigh. An
invitation was extended by Col. Cam
eron, and will be considered by the
Executive Committee.

MANHOOD ABOVE MONEY.

"The man who gives up his life to
the winning of wealth simply for the
sake of being rich and with no pur-
pose or desire of using his wealth for
any noble or useful purpose has
about ae low aim as he could we'll set
for himself"
The above is a strong and ringing
sentence from an editorial in the At
lanta Journal on some recent obser-
vations against college education.
A few of the rich men of this
country have recently gained some
extra newspaper %notoriety by de-
olaring shat a college education is
worth little or nothing to a young
man in the battle for life. AS proof
of this some notable examples are
cited and the conclusion drawn by
inference, and by n or two by
direct reasoning, that a college edu-
cation is Il hindrance to young men
in the race for money making. One
writer on the subject makes what
seems to as the absurd statement
that men who have taken a thorough
college or university training do not
express themselves with as much
force in writing as those who have
been trained only in the school of OK
perience in business
No doubt there are men Of great
strength and success in the business
world to-day who may we'll regret
the four or five years they spent at
college, as some OF them say, for
doubtless they wasted their time.
We remember to have known u few
young men at college who as students
did nothing, but who as business
men have succeeded splendidly. We
T not prepared to believe, however,
that if they had studied hard while
at college they could now truthfully
say their college years were wasted.
And " if a college education
should unfit u man for success in
making money, as some foolishly
claim, it would not be a sound argu-
ment against a college education;
for the life that has the purpose to
make money only rests on a basis en-
tirely different from what God would
have it. Money is good, but it is by
no Q the most desirable thing in
a true life.
This is a dangerous agitation which
a few rich men have set going, and
they are in danger of doing more
harm by it than they will ave be
able to counterfeit by their rich gifts
and great generosity.
A logical result from the broad
premises which these rich men have
laid down will be deterioration in the
nations intellectually in less than
a half century.
The Atlanta Journal in another
sentence than the one quoted above
well says:
"When this theory of suo0es IN
life gains control of the youth of the
country the decay of the nation will
be we'll on it's way. No people who 0
not honor culture and place it among
the things to be most desired IN lie
can long remain either strong or VIZ
tuous. Scotland Neck Common

A BIT OF TRAVEL, AND SOME THOUGHTS
SUGGESTED By IT.

In an article published last week
we gave our impressions of the Pan
American Exposition. And now,
other subjects for editorial comment
being scarce, we may be pardoned
for describing briefly some of the
more noteworthy features of the trip
TO and from Buffalo.
We went with a party of North
Carolina newspaper folk, and the
trip from Norfolk TO New York was,
for a number of us, u first ocean
trip worthy of the name. 1t was
about eigh6 O'Clock on one of the
most beautiful of September nights
that we left Norfolk. The full moon
sailed through an unclouded sky
and old ocean never looked more
beautiful than in it's silvery light
The temperature, too, was perfect,
and the ocean breeze was soft and
zephyr-like. But a first cea trip
would be incomplete without sea
sickness, and before morning many
of our "land-lubbers' had succumbed
TO the malady. We are prepared TO
say that it is not very pleasant, and
we refer any one who doubts this
statement TO q certain mountain
quill driver who was one of our
party. While on deck enjoying(O
so the fullest extent this particular
phase of ocean travel, the stiff breeze
took his new Sunday hat off his head
and carried it far out into the waves.
"Let it 60" he said, raising his head
q moment, ''let it go; I don't feel
like 1 shall ever want a hat again,
anyhow!
So it was not with very deep re
greet that we finally came in sight of
New York's sky sorapers and, very
saOn thereafter, landed on terra
JfrnaG. In this great city we again
spent a few days sightseeing. Some
Of the more famous objects of inter
est were briefly described in The
Progressive Farmer a year ago, and
we shall not weary the reader by Il
repetition.

One of New York's new features,
however, not 80 be seen a year ago,
but which is nov practically con
plete, is the Hall of Fame for Great
Americans Much has been said of
it in the press, and rightly so, for
the sentiment which prompted it and
which has been so we'll executed is
worthy of all commentator. This
Hall Of Fame is a granite cOlOnnade,
500 feet long, built about the Library
of New York University. 1t is the
gift of Miss Helen Gould, and cost
about $25O,OOO 1t Contains $50
panels in which are TO be set the
names of that number of great
Amerioan5-the greatest Americans
in the several departments of human
effort, as agreed upon by the com
mittee charged with their selection,
this committee consisting of one
hundred distinguished educators,
jurisbs. and literary men, represent
ing every State in the Union. Twen
ty. nine names were agreed upon last
year and 81 others will be selected
next year, after which five new
names Will be added each fifth year
unSil the roll is complete. The 30
names already chosen are as follows,
in the order of preference shown
them by the 81 electors:
George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln, Daniel Webster, Benjamin
Franklin, Ulysses S. Grant, John
Marshall, Thomas Jefferson, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, Robert Fulton, Wash

Each tablet bears, in addition TO
the name of the man 60 honored, the
year of his birth and that of his
death and u brief and pertinent quo

these inscriptions are we'll worth re-
Numbering. These three, for in

The observaut Tar Heel visiting
New York is also impressed by the
number of foreign names on the
street signs and the number of peo-
pie he see reading Jewish, German,
Italian, and Greek newspapers. The
census figures throw some light upon
this subject. Out of every 100 aver
age New Workers SO were born in
foreign lands, and "a others though
born in America are of foreign parent
age, leaving little more than a third
of the number of both native birth
and parentage. These are the pro-
portions for the State of New York
in New York City the proportion of
foreigners is even larger. Compare
these figures with those for North
Carolina where SO out of every 100
inhabitants are of American birth
and born of American parents.

least, we can learn a valuable lesson
