Senator Tillman's \designation of the Republican Senators who are try ing to pass a robber tariff bill as a band of bold buccaneers was to the point and will be heard of again. The Augusta Chronicle don't pro pose to risk any of the flying ma chines until it is certain that a good, strong net is spread underneath to eatch a fellow if anything should j happen. Good idea. The estimate formed of a man's religion is based upon his deeds and not upou his profession. The$ man whose actions do not .square with his words can never make a favorable impression on others, however orth odox his profession and however lengthy his prayers. The sentiment is rapidly growing that the federal government should not issue licenses for the sale of liquor in local option or prohibition territory. In continuing to issue such licenses it is in effect abetting the violation of local and'State law. Statesmen in all parties are awaken ing to that fact. The News and Courier says "We wish to express our conviction that the sooner Democratic representa tives in Congress endeavor to carry ;uto execution the will of the voters as expressed by the platform of the party, the sooner will the danger of f.s disappearance as a factor in nat ioual politics pass away." The Anderson Mail says "as we understand it. Senator Tillman's log ic iu voting for a tariff duty on lum ber' was that if he couldn't get a whole loaf he wouldn't take a half a loaf. If he could not get all classes of lumber placed on the free list he,would not vote to have any of ii placed on the tree list." Every decent, thoughtful man and vornan will approve the action of Pr?sident Taft in leaving a Wash ington theatre the other night be cause of the vulgar character of the play, and it ought to do something to swell the rising tide of protest against plays that corrupt and all manner of demoralizing shows. Senator Tillman says Aldrich and the other Republican members of the Senate finance committee are not hypocrits. but they are the boldest, band of buccaaneers that ever got to gether. In view of the tariff bill Aldrich and his committee are try iag to force on the country we think Tillman sized them up just about right. "All clear-eyed Southerners see now," says the Hartford Courant, "that a fortunate thing it was for the South herself that the attempt to break the United States in two did not succeed." We don't know alK>ut that. We could have gotteu along all right, but the North would have missed our cotton "dreadfully." Some men of collosal fortunes get lots of credit and applause, for their supposed generosity to charitable in stitutions. I Jut if the people were r,.)t. compelled to pay tribute to mo ll tpolies whereby a few men amass immense fortunes, which are good neither for themselves, their chil dren nor the country, there would ;i~ fewer objects of charity. We agree with The News and Courier that "it would be far bet ter to have no platforms, than to have them ignored by the represen tatives of. the people in Congress. It is to such manifestations of bad faith and incompetency as this that the reverses of the Democratic par ty ao- in larg. measure due." This is exactly the contention of The Times and Democrat. President Taft did the right thing the other uight. in leaving a theatre on account of a salacious play that was being given. How far. if at all. theatre managers will take the re buke to heart is uncertain. Prob ably not to any extent if they find that immoral or suggestive plays are popular. The majority of managers ire governed more by financial rea sons than artistic and the question they a=k themselves is "Win it pay?" On Confederate Memorial Day minature Confederate flags and beau tiful flowers decorated every Con federate grave at Camp Chase, near Columbus, Ohio, where o*vr two thousand Southern soldiers are hur ried. The Buckeye Republican Glee Club furnished the music and an address was delivered by Col. E. Polk Johnson, of Louisville, Ky. Con gressman Holltngsworth, no doubt, threw a fit or two when he read of the above occurrence. Revenue vs. Protection. The Calhoun Advance lectures us about the votes of Senator Tillman and Congressman Lever as follows: We take it for granted that The Times and Democrat knows that the amount Senator Tillman voted as a tax on tea, that it was an ad valorem tax of 71.5 per cent, and wheu Congressman Lever voLed for a duty on lumber It was an ad valorem tax of only 32 per cent, yet it contends that Lever voted a tax for protection and is a Re j publican, and Tillman voted a tax for revenue according to the rea soning of The Times and Demo crat, our idea is that "the boot is on the other leg," or as The Times and Democrat would say. the "joke" is on the other fellow, and if ther vote is a criterion to go by. Tillman is the protectionist or Republican, and Lever the tax for revenue man. We believe Till man and Lever are both right and The Times and Democrat is wrong. We can't figure out the taxes on tea and lumber as gi-:<i *.bove by fie Advance, and we would be*glvl II our contemiiorary would show us in detail how it arrives at the con clusion it does in the matter. Those who have figured out the matter so a.-? it can be understood by the gen eral reader say that a tax of ten cents per pound on tea wouid yield a revenue of $9,000,000 Co the gov ernment and give incidental protec tion of $1,500 to the tea growers of the United States. Even The State '?concedes that the commodity of tea is attractive for revenue taxa tion," and admits that a tax of three cents a pound on j tea "would raise hut little less thkn ?S,000,000 in revenue, which agrees with the fig ures we give as the revenue that a ten cent tax would raise. If a com modity that yields $9,000,000 reve nue to the government, with only $1,500 incidental protection, is not "attractive for revenue taxation," we would like the Advance to name one that is. The Louisville Courier-Journal, which has always been a good au thority on tariff matters, says "the allegation that the lumber tariff is a revenue tariff is ridiculous, as the vast lumber Industry of this country is almost entirely a domestic industry, the tariff on lumber being virtually prohibitive, and only yield ing about $4,000,000 revenue to the government." We will leave the Ad vance to figure out the amount of money the lumber trust is permit ted to rob the people of through the operations of a tariff law that is to be passed for its special benefit and which will yield only $4,000. 000 revenue to the government. For its guidance in figuring it out, we would say that for every dollar the government gets out of the duty on lumber the trust gets from ten to fifteen dollars. In putting a duty on lumber, the Republicans. do so expressly on the ground that they propose to protect the American lum ber interests against foreign impor tations, and the claim of the Advance that it is a revenue tax would make the trust supporting Republicans smile. From the above showing, it will be seen that the duty on tea would produce a handsome revenue for the government, while the duty on lum ber fills the pockets of the trust at the expense of the ipeople, while producing comparatively no reve nue for the government. In defend ing the action of Congressman Lever in voting, to protect lumber, the Advance puts itself in the ranks of the protectionists and subscribes to the Republican doctriue that it is sound business policy to tax the millions of consumers for the bene fit of the few producers. That means that the consumer has no interests to be considered. As The News and Courier says, "We fail to see how protection that enriches the producer at the expense of the consumer is a sound business policy, or why the man who builds a home for his fami ly, the congregation that builds a church, or the community that builds a school house, should be expected to boar the burden of this tax thai will go principally into the pockets of th" dozen or -o men that control tee lumber output of the South." Possibly the Advance can enlighten us. People of Orangeburg Warned. The Calhoun''Advance offers this argument as a reason why Mr. Level should not be criticized for violnt ting the platform in which he was elected by voting to tax lumber: We suppose that those citizens of Orangeburg (if there are any j who are in sympathy with The Times and Democrat's criticism of Lever for voting to tax lumber in order that a revenue might be rais ed ? to help supply the funds to meet the demands of his constitu ents, will feel a delicacy in ask ing him to get more funds to put on the public building that Mr. Lever was instrumental in getting for Orangeburg. They can't con scientiously take the money and then kick when he votes to raise this money. The Times and Dem ocrat ought to know by this time that it takes something else than hot aid to run this government and supply the wants of its peo ple. If The Times and Democrat felt as the Calhoun Advance confesses It feels in the above paragraph it would be ashamed to admit it. A fair interpretation of our contemporary is that it would be perfectly willing for Congressman Lever to vote for a tariff which would plunder every body so long as he would give St. Matthews the kind of a public, build ing it wouid like to have. Accord ing to the Advance, Congressman Lever is the master and not the servant of the people, having the right to punish any community that dared to criticize his official acts. We are glad to say that neither The Times and Domocrat or the people of Orangeburg have reached that stage where they are willing to "crook the cringing knee that thrift may follow fawning." In suggest ing that Congressman Lever would attempt to punish a community be cause it criticises him for some of his official acts, is doing him an in justice. Orangeburg is not begging for a government building. She de mauds it as her right by virtue of her importance as a city, and if Congressman Lever attempted to withhold it from her because she dared to criticize his official actB, some other Congressman or one of our two Senators would have patrio tism enough to champion her cause. Rather than acknowledge that the man who may represent this con gressional district is above legiti mate criticism, for his official acts, we would be willing to have our mall distributed from a log hut. There are somethings that are worth more than a thousand government, buildings to a community. Count Zeppelin's striking success with his dirigible balloon is likely to give England another war scare and create a demand for dreadnaught air ships. It is predicted by some that a des perate effort will be made to retire Senator Tillman at the expiration of his present trein, but It will fail. Whatever else may be said about The News and Courier, it holds very fast to the Democratic doctrine of a tariff for revenue. The phrenologist does not deny that his favorite occupation is buinp the bumps. CLASSIFIED COLUMN One-half Cent a Word Found Notices Free. For Rent?Boarding .House .over King's Furniture Store.
