THE BUSINESS OF 1901.

The ear 1901 a a big year for bust
mess. Uncle Sam had TO widen Ills waist
band by several holes. Trade was
phenomenal, and the manufacturing,
protected and fostered by the enormous
tariff tax had a great time and lead all
other industries. Iron and steel did a
great work, and the output OF coal and
coke surpassed all former records. The
corn crop was short, prices went up,
the holders got high rates paid mainly
by the hard-worked Oread-winners. A
short sereal crop means money for the
lgrower and reduced rations for eater
ard buyer. Cotton closed at s cents.
Bank transactions were enormous. In
New York in one day deposits exceeded
la billion dollars. Silver is low now
worth but "a cents. but Uncle Sam
OIL Gers that his mintage shall fetch 10O
cents. A great life increased business
was done. The u. S. treasury never
had before so much strength and sur
lpIus. And still the people are bled
heavily and taxation continues to run
exceedingly high. That passes for
wisdom and craftsmanship in the
UNITED States in 1902. What would JEFF
Iferson and Macon and the able, faithful
fathers of 1S10-35 have said OF such un-
reasonable and false work. The sec
|retary mentions what he did with the
extraordinary surplus. He says: For
the calendar year we show receipts in
of the ordinary expenditures
roundly to 100000. 600. Such
an excess might lave resulted in seri-
Gus embarrassment had not the de-
partment been able by means of this
surplus to reduce the public debt in
large amounts"
There is one view OF the question not
to be overlooked. However high the
taxes and stupendous the revenu the
can easily spend it all. The
expenditures annually now are but lit
tie below $500, 600, 900 a year or some
seven timse more than President Buch-
required in 1860 for carrying on
the government effectively and safely
in all departments. Public is
very much needed. Public expenditure
is as "easy as falling off a log" Put
down the brakes.

ENDORSED MIR. WALKER.
The Charlotte Bar Shows Why He Is
Fitted for Associate Justice.
Charlotte News.)

The following letter has been issued
by the committee Of the Charlotte Bar
having in charge the candidacy of Mr..
p. D. Walker for associate justice of
the supreme curt:
Upon the announcement of Judge w
A. Hoke that he would not allow his
name to be considered for the place of
associate justice of the supreme court
iof North Carolina, the members of the
charlotte bar met, and unanimously
endorsed Mr.. Plat D. Walker, of Char

lsitiOn. A committee was appointed to

tproval Of the action of the Charlott7
bar. and pledged their earnest support
lin behalf of Mr.. Walker, and withal de-
noted the high and universal esteem
lin which he is held by his professional
brethren.
Feeling, however, that the question
las to who shall constitute the court of
last resort-of inal judgment upon the
rights Of the person and the property
lof the citizens Of our state-is one of
no less Importance to the laymen than
to the lawyer, We take this time and
lmethod to acQuaint the people or the
Estate as to what has been said and done
in Mr.. Walkers behalf, and to bespeak
for hin the support and influence OF
the democratic voters throughout the
Estate.
ITO those who are acquainted with
Mr.. Walker we need not speak of his
fitness for this high and responsible eff
flee. but to those who do not know him
besides our own testimony as to his
thigh character, his integrity and abili-
lty, we desire to quote the words of one
high in the councils of tho democratic
party, n a lawyer Of great renown
and learning, Who says Of Mr.. Walker
