HILL ON JEFFERSON.
How the Great Democrat Would Have Viewed
Trusts and the Colonial system.
(By the Associated Press }

(By the Associated Press.)
Buffalo, n. Y, April 13.--Bon. David
B. Hill addressed the members of the
Jefferson club and their guests at the
Teck theatre tonight. His theme was
Thomas Jefferson"
In introducing Senator Hill to the au-
dience Chairman Maurice c. Spratt, presi-
dent of the club. referred to him as the
greatest living exponent of the principles
of Jeffersonian Democracy Senator Hill
was given an enthusiastic reception.
Jefferson, he said would have unques-
tionably viewed with adherence the es-
tablishment of permanent American CO.
lonial system, whether obtained under
military rule or under civil authority ap-
pointed by the Central Government at
Washington. His theory was unquestion-
ably the Democratic doctrine of today
that this Government has no more au-
thority to create colonial system than it
has the right to create king.
Referring to monopolies, he said
when billion dollar corporate combin-
ations are forming on every side, daz-
zling us with the boldness of their con-
ception and the boundless extent of
their proposed operations, it is high time
to consider whether some wholesale re-
strictions upon such corporate undertake
ings are not essential in the interest of
the people
'Jefferson's teachings might suggest
a limitation upon the same amount Of
the dividends which could be lawfully
declared or upon the profits which could
be legally accumulated by these tire
mendous business organizations. Or he
might demand that the Government in
Justice to its overburdened taxpayers,
should withdraw it's tariff favors from
the infant industries represented /by
these institutions whose projectors are
already rolling in wealth and are as
tonishing the world by the munificence
of their private benefactions. We may
at least be quite sure that he would
not appoint to the high office of Attor-
ney General of the United States the
man recommended by the friends and
promoters of these very schemes, whose
official province it would be to prose-
cute all violators of those Federal sta
tutes passed to prevent the consumma-
tion of just such public wrongs
In conclusion Mr.. Hill said:
The Democratic party was not born
to die. 1t has survived the political
yicissitudes of a hundred years-dis-
asters which would have destroyed any
other political organization that ever
existed, but it will live with its six
million three hundred and forty-two
thousand voters, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

GREAT EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE.
Prominent Educators to Study Educational
Conditions in the South at Winston
Salem This Week.

business men, would be profitable even
if only North Carolina were represented;
but when we consider the fact that those
who are coming to us as our guests from
the North contribute large sums to-
education in the South every year, and
that they represent and influence those
who contribute much more; that they are
coming with the most friendly purpose,
with desire to get clear view OF our
educational conditions, and to ask our
counsel as to how they may make their
educational investments so as to secure
the best ends, the leaders of thought of
this State cannot afford to miss the OPP
portunity of attending the conference.
Heretofore a greater portion Of the
money these people have given has gone
to institutions like Hampton Institute in
Virginia and Tuskeegee, Booker Wash
ington's great school, but they have also
aided in the support of about fifteen small
schools for white people in North Caro-

breakfast in Greensboro, spending the
morning at the State Normal and Indus

Export Surplus Cotton Products.

To the Editor: For some months it has
been apparent that the congestion of cot
ton manufactures in this country has be-
come a disease, and the only remedy is
to export. To this end | have suggested
to Southern mills that efforts should be
made to interest some of the great ex-
porters of the raw material in the dis
tribution of our manufactured products
abroad.
Sometimes we see the disturbed con-
dition of the cotton goods market at
tributed to the troubles in China. The
April Textile World in its review of the
cotton market expresses the same views
/ entertain so well that beg to quote:
THE depression in the cotton goods
trade is due in a slight degree to the
shrinkage of cotton goods exports to
China, While the loss is nearly
one-third of our cotton goods exports, it
is but small part, less than two and a
half per cent of the total business of our
cotton mills.
"The business represented by this loss
of export business would keep about half
a million spindles busy; while we have
been starting new spindles at the rate OF
over two millions per year"
These figures show where the shoe
pinches. The loss of the China business
is a mere drop in the bucket compared
with the overproduction of our cotton
factories. And this fact makes it i'm
portant to know what we are going tc
do about it in the future? Are we going
to stop building mills, or are we going
to continue building and export ouI
goods? We should organize instrumen-
talities to market our goods in foreign
countries. Who will take hold of the
business end of this suggestion?
