THE election is over, and we
hope all the differences and hare
feelings engendered by it will be
amicably adjusted. Let the
wounds be healed and peace and
good will restored among the
neighbors and friends of each can
didate. The Commercial did
what we thought was its duty,
There was no party lash nor any
boss to drive us. We would pur-
sue the same policy again, How
ever. we have refrained from any
sort of personal abuse or dlsre
spectful expressions. We recog-
nize the fact that men have rights
as Iaw-abiding citizens and no
newspaper has legal authority to
undertake to contradict these priv
ileges. Men of any political par
ty may have their opinions and
convictions and it is proper and
right that they should be present
ed, no matter now strong, in a
respectful way. This we were
careful TO observe. and we hope to
have incurred no i'll will more than
that which may be easily mended
and friendly relations restored.
The Commercial insists its more
important duty is the advocacy OF
measures for the promotion of ed
ucationaI, commercial, agrlcultur-
al and industrial interests. We
believe these have the precedence
of politics, but party allegiance
should not be overlooked, even ii
it is second in consideration. This
is in accordance with the announce
ment Of the first issue of the paper,
and in order to secure the best
results upon these lines there
should be a spirit of harmony
amongst people of all shades of
political and religious belief. Let
us then lay aside these political
troubles and come together for
the common good of all interests.

cormorant combines whose bond Of
union is the tariff
The Democrats have made this
issue and the Iowa Republicans are
more in line with the Democratic
position than they are with the Re
publican stonewall defenders OF
"the tariff as whole" and as an
inviolable system. No wonder the
Republican press is bothered to rec
oucile the attitude of the Iowa
brethren, though they express great
surety that in spite of what they
saw the Iowans will nevertheless
vote the ticket. But all honest tar
if reformers will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, as they Shouldn't

Tariff Revision in Iowa.

The Iowa Republicans have
"spoken out in meeting and what
they said on the subject of trusts
is giving the high priests of the in
ner sanhedrin trouble OF the mus
tard plaster kind. They are great
ly irritated where it hurts the most
and are trying to make out that
they enjoy the sensation!
The platform adopted by the
State convention at Des Moines
very naturally declared fidelity to
the historic policy of giving need
full protection to home industries.
But that policy is no longer histor-
ically Republican, if it ever was,
but is historically American and
has the approval of perhaps of as
large per centage of Democrats
as of Republicans. The main diff
ference between the parties on that
subject is whether the protection
shall be given ''for protection S
sake" alone, or for revenue pur-
poses and the incidental protection
that specific American industries
may absolutely need up to the point
of selt-support, and no further.
The line OF cleavage developed in
the Republican party is essentially
along the Democratic contention.
The e9mmon people in the East and
the greater mass of the producers
in the West have awake9SI to the
fact that "protectrez~A Or protec-
TONS saks% S Srg Grated into a
schep1eTeo,Gfiching beyond equi-

S1gers of many industries. The
tariff, as the chairman of the Iowa
convention aptly put it, "enables
the trusts to extort prices and prof
its out of all due proportion to the
cost of production" This is the
- which logically results from
kction for protectors sake.

INFLUENCE OF NEW GOLD.
Supply of Yellow Metal May Be
Doubled in Twenty-Five Years.

Doubled in Twenty-Five Years.
Paul Leroy-Beaulieu, the well
known French statistician, takes
I'D in the current number of the
Economists Francois the question
of the influence of the present and
prospective increase in gold pro-
duction on prices. Looking to the
future, he remarks that latter a
period of year or eighteen months
the Transvaal will have returned
to the output of the summer OF
1899" He adds that 1T is very
probable that in four or five years,
around 1906 or 1907, annual produc-
ton OF that country will have reach
ed a figure equivalent to S150,0oO,-
coo, or S16O, 100000 annually where
as maximum production in 1899 was
at the rate of 100000, $1,000.
NJ. Leroy-Beaulieu estimates that
Australia, China, Chile, Siberia,
India and West Africa are likely to
increase their own production OF
gold along with South Africa, and
he reckons for the entire world by
1905 or 1906 yearly production OF
, 600 OOO. 600 francs. OF $500, 600, 600,
as compared with an annual aver
age of $50, 1000, 900 francs, or $780,
OOO,O0 for the period 1991-1805.
To this he subioins an estimate
that the stock of gold now available
in the world is something like So
OOO,00O,00O FRANCS, or $40, 900,
600, He then proceeds as follows
to analyze the probable effect OF
such increased production on trade
and prices:
ITO sum up. A stock of gold OF
about fifty milliards, and an annual
production. according to all prob
abilities, of two milliards during
the next quarter of a century
these are the two terms OF the
problem. They do away with all
idea of very great or sudden fluc-
tuation in the value of gold, and
consequently of a very violent and
rapid rise in prices. 1t will, IN
fact, only be at the end OF a quarter
of century that the quantity OF
gold now actually existing in the
world will be doubled by the new
production. On the other hand,
population is increasing, and so is
wealth and business activity among
civilized people. New countries are
being developed. Within a quar-
ter of a century the two Americas
alone will show enormous increase
in their inha bitants. Even the
Asiatic people will develop their
own resources and will be able to
absorb certain quantity OF gold.
Finally, number of states are
still under the regime of paper
money. These states, If they are
we'll managed, will be able grad
ually to resume specie payments
and the gold standard.
I'm short, it does not seem that
there is reason to expect from this
doubling in twenty-five years of the
quantity of gold existing in the
world any very sudden and percep-
tible movement of prices. But
neither does this mean that the
large and constant addition to the
stock of gold will have no influence
on business affairs or on the stocl
and commodity markets. New

Assurance.to DR.. Tyee Of a Warm
Welcome 10 The Capital CITY,

1t was a welcome that came from the
heart that was extended to Rev. DR.. w
c. Tyree, the new pastor of the First
Baptist church on Sunday night.
DR.. Tyree mad preached a strong ser
mon Sunday morning to large and de-
lighted congregation. 1t was his first
sermon as pastor of the church here,
and it was of such lofty tone, and so
happy an Introduction of. his ability as
preacher of the gospel, that it deeply
impressed all who heard it with the
power of the preacher.
The services at night were ''Recogni-
tion Services and during these there
were greetings given to DR.. Tyree from
the church over which he is to preside.
the Baptist churches of the city, the
Baptist Convention and from all the
churches.
The meeting was presided over by Rev.
DIR. T. E. Skinner. former pastor of the
church, and seated with him were Mr.. J..
H. Afford, senior deaCt of that church ;
Mr. Thos. H. Briggs, deacon and super
intendent of the Sunday School; Rev. DR..

clasping the hands of the new pastor,

At the morning service DR.. Tyrec s
text was from Matthew 25:2t, Thou has
been faithful over few, / will make thee
ruler over many things" His theme was
'Faithfulness" and on this he preached
sermon full of force and power. 1T
proved him to be a preacher who reached
the hearts of his hearers, and it was a
sermon that was complimented.
The entire city welcomes DR.. Tyree. He
is known as a Christian worker, broad
minded and able. That his influence will
lie felt for great good in the religious
life of the city is not to be doubted. He
is heartily welcomed.

A Suggestion as to a New Code.

A prominent lawyer in North Carolina,
writing about the need of a new Code,
says:
"Thc question of revision Of our laws
will soon be uppermost in the public
mind. There are number of lawyers in
the State who have their codes thor
oughly and carefully annotated besides
the amendments to the Code" prepared
by Messrs. Long and Lawrence, of the
Richmond bar. Instead of having Code
Commission let the Legislature appoint a
committee from it's members to examine
and receive offers of complete collec-
ton of the laws of North Carolina with
authority to accept the same and pro-
vide for it's publication. If this were done
early in the session it could all be &C
compiished before the adjournment"

Carthage, n. c., Dec. 22.-This great
county in the centre of the long leaf
pine region is rejoicing over unparall-
eled success for the past twelve months,
and a policy has been determined upon
by leading men in the countys aHalrs
which means greater progress during
the next year.
A new hotel is to be built at Carthage,
Sanford is to open a new banking estao-
Iishment additions and improvements
are to be made on the Carthage railroad,
Aberdeen and Rockfish and the Aberdeen
and Asheboro Railroads, the three indie
pendent lines which have so greatly aid
ed in the upbuilding of the county. Pine
hurst the New England village in the
South, owned by Mr.. Tufts, of Boston, Is
to be even more greatly improved, and
altogether it is estimated that more
than a million dollars is to be spent IN
shis county in the near future in per-
mancrt improvements.
Here in Carthage alone Tyson & Jones
have completed handsome new brick
factory building from which their car
riages and buggies are turned out, the
Carthage Furniture Company, of which
Major w c. Petty is president, has been
put in the best condition. Currie &
Mcqueen have established a new planning
mill. Andrew Lawhorn has built sash
and blind factory. and few buildings
worthy of note are being erected.
| Major Petty, awake to the situation,
has decided to erect q number of modern
1 cottages for the accommodation OF North
err visitors who make the demand great
/ er than Carthage can supply EACH winter.
/ Today there is not vacant house in
/ Carthage.
! 1t is stated on the best authority that
/ the county commissioners will at an
early date arrange to recall Moore coun-
/ IT, convicts from Arson and Union coun-
! ties and this labor will be utilized in i'm
proving the roads in this county. The
! people generally are taking more interest
/ in the good road movement and are anxi-
/ Gus to have more free rural deliveries.
Great improvement is promised in this
| respect. w. H. BAGLEY.
