THE TARIFF. Every thoughtful citizen of .? this country wants American products and the American la borer protected against compe tition with foreign products and foreign labor. But, there are" certain limitations attached to this tariff question which will be the part of wisdom for our people to recognize, and it strikes us that the limit has been reached and even over stepped. We have come to the parting of the ways, and the tariff ques tion has resolved itself into the simple problem of continre 1 rob bery of the producer under our present system of high protec tion, or, the scaling down of present tariff schedules to a tariff for revenue only basis. It is easy to understand that when this idea of protection assumed form, there was ample excuse for its being made a law of the land. Our then infant industries required the fostering care of the National government in the way of placing a practically pro hibitive tax upon manufactured, or earth grown products of other countries. Common statesman Ship, and regard for the general welfare of the country demanded that such tax be imposed, but the necessity for such a law has passed. Our industries are no longer infantile, but are giants in strength and all-powerful in the commercial and financial world. This will not be con tradicted. The corporations aud manufacturers of this country are now abundantly able to take care of themselves, so it strikes us that the time is ripe for our legis lators to give a little thought to the great mass or body of the people without whom all other classes would go to pieces. We do not think that we exaggerate when we figure the cost of living to the average man as fifty per cent, higher under our present tariff law than it would be under ? protective tariff for revenue only. These remarks are called forth by the perusal of a bunch of literature from the American Protective League. These peo ple lay great stress on the tre mendous increase of our ex ports since the war, and the de crease in our imports. Certain ly this is a fact, but just as cer tainly would it have been a fact under a greatly lower tariff law. As for ourself, we are a free trader,, and favor a direct tax to meet the expense of government, but we realize that we cannot secure what we want ftlong that line, so are willing to compromise. Give us a low tariff law under Bryan and a democratic congress during the next four years, and if there is not an improvement over preseut conditions we will feel greatly disappointed. "The Old World and Its Ways." By William Jennings Itryan. This remarkable book of 575 pages, voluminously illustrated and elegantly bound, has been Issued by "The Thompson Pub lishing Company" of 8t. Louis, Mo., and is sold by subscription. We would advise our young friends who are out of employ, went to iMk the agency and canvass for this book. It is certainly one of the most reada* ble, entertaining and edifying vuluine* we have reixl in ? long | time. it tu almost like w? Iradifoarflrit trip around vhe world, with less thli one thousand th of tho BMMiy and oae-hundrdth ,of tho time re quired for our "first trip.'* TIm great problems of oivilia tion, . religion, philosophy end government in Japan, China, the Philippines, India, as well as Europe, are presefitea in 4 clear light by a great brain. Mr. Bryan was accompanied on this trip by bis wife and two yoanger children, William J. Jr., and Grace, aged 16 and 14, re spectively. They started Sep tember 21, 1905, and reached home September 5, 190(5, six. teen days less than one year. While most of tbis trip was in the North Temperate Zone, they were below the equator a few days in Java, and for a while above thearcticcircle in Norway. This book ought to be in every home where there are boys and - girls with brains and promise. ? St. Louis Christian Advocate.

"Mali niece reads it to uoe!" "Kuow about the Ten Com mandments?" "No, salil" # "The Twenty-third Psalm?" "Nebber hear ob him, sah!" "Kliow the Beutitudes?" "No, sah!" "Well, what part part of the Bible do you lrke best?" "Par'bles, sah!" "Can you give us one?" "'Deed, yes, sah?" "Let us havd it then." "Once w'en the Queen of Sheeba was gwine down to Jerusalem she fell among thieves. First they passed her on de oddah side, den dey come ovah an' day say unto her, 'Pro down Jezebel!' but she wouldn't fro her down; and again dey say unto her, 'Pro down Jezebel!' but she wouldn't fro her down; and again dey say unto her for the fird and last tune, for I ain't gwine to ax you no mo' 'Pro down Jezebel!' and dey fro'd her down for seventy times and seven, till de remains were 'leven baskets and' I say unto yo' whose wife was she at de ressurrection?"

Stoalor Tillman declares that it waa not his intention to say anything farther on the subject of politics bat being, as he said, so widely misquoted on the sub ject of Grorer Cleveland, be broke over on Tuesday and ex i pressed himself freely. "You may set all minds at rest as to my opinion of Cleveland by saying that it has not changed one iota since my first speech in the senate denouncing him. I would rather the Domocrutic party would now be defeated thau to be victorious with Cleve land or any man like him at its head, and I am quite sure that no matter what the condition of his health, should, he be uomi? nated he would be beaten worse than Parker was. I am at a loss to understand how a man usually so accurate as Mr. Koliu is, 1 should have so misquoted me. So far as I now recall I never mentioned Cleveland to him the other day. I certainly did not say that under any circumstances I would favor his nomination or the nomination of any man like him. What I did say was that Wall street would welcome one of the old plutocrats as the Democratic nominee, prefering to support such a so-called Demo crat thau Teft, who will be the Republican notniuee, or Bryan, who will be the Democratic nominee, and that if the Demo cratic party could unite upon one of these Eastern plutocrats, which it will of course uot do, then Taft. would be easily de feated. I am, of course, for Bryan as the nominee at Denver, and I am satisfied that South Caro lina's delegates will be for Bryan,, but I am opposed to in structing them because our con vention is uotgoiug to send men to Denver whocan be bamboozled or bought and instructions are unnecessary. Now, having been goaded into this thing, I am going to tell you what I think of this tempest in a tea pot about instructing the delegation. Gonzales wants to make it appear that hi is the biggest Bryan man in the State so that if Bryan is elected, the editor of The State can control the South Carolina patronage. The trouble with Hemphill is, that he has never been able to see anything in Cleveland hut a demigod and he opposed Bryan in 1896, and he is of the kind who never changcs his mind. Hemp hill was in the wrong then and to support Bryan now might ap pear as an admission that he was wrong. That's the whole cause of the mighty racket over instructions. " Feared the Camera The account of that banquet of the Cosmopolitan club of New York, given a few nights ago in which white women, old and young, white irieu and blacK men and women sat side by side at the tables was really too dis gusting to publish. Social equali ty was openly advocated in all the speeches. Intermarriage of the races was covertly en dorsed by some of the white per sons who spoke and positively advocated by others as the only solution of the race question. One of the most disgusting speeches of the evening was mude by a young "society wo. man," who advocated social equality and to show that she "meant what she preached" called upon the white and black guests to move their chairs up closer to each other and be more sociable?. One young white wo man was seated between two negro "society men" and set m ed to greatly enjoy their con versation. But the white wo men hid their faces when a man entered witlv a camera and at tempted to take a photograph of the scene. That showed that they were not utterly debased. ?
