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. ?

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. ?
