THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA-. TUESDAY MAT 20 1885,
THE OLD NORTH STATE.
An leterr.tlnc Inter,low with Major Tack*
er, of Rntslgb, on Her Pro.pecte.
Major Tucker, of Re'rlfb, one of the dcicjetct
•ppolutcdib, Gorctnor Scale* tor the eUteof North
Ceiclltte, a retired merchant, la tovoreblr lot-
prceitd with the commercial contention, and la
heartily In ejmpathj with lie object*. Specially
dete ha contlJtr that much food can rcenlt to tho
tenth by a calm rontldcrallon of tho mattera pro-
pertd for dlremafon. Major Tucker lea (annlno
tarhetl, and It enthnilutlc err tho rapid aJ-
ntctnii t ol the material lnterceti of North Caro
lina, and the broader licet of tbooght making
prff roe among her people.
to tonrereaUon with a Coxrrmmox represent-
alltr, yeeterdey, Major Tucker gate tome In teres t-
Ing facie relatlre to North Carolloa'a progress. Ho
adrerted to the fact that while North Carolina hai
heretofore rrrelred hut few secretions from other
eta tee. jet there le cow a rcaaonabla expectation of
atldaot Immliratlon being turned towardr her.
But wllhout that, to healthy are her people, ao
raluhrloua her climate, and ao plentiful are her
rroCucu that the natural Increaaaof her popula
tion la unrivalled, and befora the neat cenaua the
will doohUeaa bare,tulle2,000,(00 population. The
atala baa a length ol M0 mllea, with an extrame
breadth of 100, and rlaea from the aea to the height
of 7,no fut In the weetern mountain!.
Her population la largely agricultural, for of the
410,0(0 who were employed In 1800.861,000 were en
gaged In that work. Bhe rat tea about 400 000 balea
cotton; 20,000,000 pounda of tobacco; 28,000,000
bur hale corn; 8,600,000 buahala of wheat, and
t,8(0.000 buaheli rice, baaldea oata, rye, barley, and
aU other gralna.
Her agriculture la Improving and white there are
only 8,000 farme In the atate with more than 600
acree; there are100,000 farme with between 60and
500 acree. There are about 40,000 under Ofty acree.
Terming la undergoing achange by aeubdlrlelon
ol the larger plantations. The buatneaeo! manu
facturing and mininghaa Inlate jaarareoelred a
great Impulao, and the mtlla of North Carolina
here etood the premure of the laal year remarka
bly well. There are about one-tenth aa many peo
ple engaged In Ibeee lnduetrlee or in farming, hut
the number la conatantly lucreaalog. In 1880 (hard
wire forty-nine mine: now there are alxty-four.
In tha put Ora yearn the looma and ap.odlee hare
nearly doubled. During thla time I 790 loomx
hero Increaacd to 2,il8; and *2,818 eplodiw hard
lnrreaud to 168,000, Thera are alao eleven woolen
Dills.
But the leading manufacturing Intercat now la
totacca, which hu built up euch to woe u Dur
ham and Winston.
In mother* wera 110 tobacco faclorlea, In 1880
there were 200.
Ihefonxta of North Carolina ara llkowleo a
aource ol great wealth, and many haoda are em
ployed In Indue trier connected therewith,
Mejor Tucker thought that In the general lm-
• pronroentof Ihecountry the aouth would ahare
naturally; out more than that the opening up of
the aouth had now begun In earneat, and North
Carolina would toon take rank u the moat pm •
greaalva and proaperoua of her aouthorn alitarx,
bhe waa opening up rallroada In many dlreellona.
New enterprises were conatantly being begun and
puabed to completion. The management ol
rallroeda ahould be In the Internet of tha people ae
well u for Ibelr own Internal, and bellerlog theao
mattera weuld adjuet themielrea, no railroad
commlaalon had been eppolutod by tho leglala
tore. He thought there war no need fur aoy now,
and Ural a wire and prudent oourae ol tha railroad
tinea would prevent any dlepoelilon to hare one.
The atate, however, neada moro lines. At preaan t
there are thirty clue roada and threo branohee,
running 1A20 mllea. The romla earn lair profit!
and ara generally In good oondltlou. The railroad
problem la not tbcrelore of gnat lntarmt to tha
people of North Carolina, except eoler at freight
lo polola beyond the llmlta of the auto are con
cerncd, and their regulation would bo a matter
for congme, and not for the reparato atatoa.
Major Tucker rclrrrod to tho oponlug up ol
trade with gontli America aa of peculiar Internet
Ib-'SIUII,. l-rarl'-u a line lium the unrl unr
rreal, to tho aouth Atlantic acaboerd, ono could
mark tho nearer! coureo to South America. Tho
Vado between theaeeectloneihould thorelore Dud
centra at Norfolk, Wilmington. Cbarlaaton and
Barannah. AU ol them polnta would abac* In
euch a trade. The aouth would ooulrlbule to It.
South America needa cotton goods. They are now
furntahed by England. The aouth can ley theao
gooda down In tha Sooth American marked
cheaper than England can, became aba would Bare
Height acroaa tho AUautlo ou the cotton, and than
back again on tha gooda, beatdeo Intcrmt. com
mlaalona, and Insurance
The aouth haa every advantage for the Boutu
American trade.
We hoped that the mult ol thla convention
would open the eyee of the eouth to Ibta metier.
Lctaoulbern mlllaeaUblleha depot of gooda In
the leading South Amciloan marketa. and under
•ell (lieal Britain; but drat they muat dud out
what the people than need, sugar, oolTee, train,
etc, would ha a return cargo, whllo outgoing vei
acta would tabu flour, agricultural Implement,,
cotton gooda, etc.
Wa built large impel on thla matter whan our
merchant! and mllla had once fairly watered In
tha race.
In nlerenca to the question ol ellyat co
age, hajor Tucker eald that ha d
not attach aa much oouaa<|tienco -

to tha opu Ion that pievatla chiefly at tha norther

tha via wa r riavutad by tho praaldcnt and north-
ctn flnanceti. Certainly no great harm could
coma from a temporary euapeuatou ol all ver coin
age. Major Tucker la a bard money mao and
thlule that both a|lvev and gold ahould

ocguiaad all ovsr Uncivilised world, baton the

of the day if, bow to ImproTe our condition and
remedy matters. These are questions which will
present themielrea to the serious consideration
ot the commercial convention, now assembled in
•Atlanta, and to the entire country. Major Tocher
had rather learn the views of others as to the rem*
cdy than to express bis own, bnt would venture
to urge that when there is over production in aaj
line of manufactures the mills shut down for
inch length of time as will be necessary for the
already manufactured articles to find a market
It la better to make the leu now,and at once,than
to keep mills going at a dally Ion for months and
yaars, upon the same principle that we ahould
taveour Umber when there is a glut of lumber In
the market. The labor question in the sonth la
one that will require great thouaht and consider*
atlon In the luture about the coming
question of laborers.
The major fears that the dangerous thing, “a
little learning" will be an Important factor In de*
termlning this question. The parents ahould teach
their children that education does not mean ex*
empUon from labor and the deaerUon of the^fleld,
but only a letter knowledge of how to work, and
to value the dignity of labor,
