J.-Foruer Presi <dent Cleveland spoke Thursday night to a political meeting held in Lyceum Hall. Special trains brought hun. -dreds of people from other cities and :towns in this vicitiity, and Mr. Cleveland was given an ovation. Mr. Cleveland said in part: "I am especially pleased to learn that tariff reform has been made the principal issue in the canvass you have in band. .Never within my oh servation or experience has there been a time wehen this should be, more earnestly, persistently and hon estly p)I+s~edt upon the attention of our country men than now. "Of course, custom duties must continue to be the source of govern' ment mamntenance until another plan islevised; not, a tariff, constructed for the purposa of protection as its chief object., it, at all times and in every feature of it an unjust an~d unfair burden upon the masses of or people; but the bold and arrogant developments of its unfair'hess anid injustice in recent years, and the new directions they have taken, ought to e-specially ar rest the attention and apprehension of every tboughtful,I sober- minded citizen." Mr. Cleveland reverted to former Democratic -tariff campaigns and quoted several paragraphs from his tariff message of 1887. "For the purpose or showing niot. only thto accepted posit ion of the)1 D ~ .emJocrat ic party on the tarill' ques t n, but also ats engge.st-inIg the mat ial then available' in attackineg contioneod,e, loaetd yeou to a cttm1 plationi of thet :V..(jisti.es thati have since atccullfmitedle ./he i numerous additions~ to a viciou-e a11 kog- ronls progeny born, of tardY icens andltl,,( depravity, to theIc increa(dm8. materianl of snecssfuil a tack, and to the pres ent duty of!it al who~ love our pieople more thian self to strikee a blow whien ever and wvherovear it is peossible for our counitry'sm honor and1( emanicapa tion.

First comes our Cut Price in each line to select from.. Fifty jtast landed. to Newberry's Gr IAUG1 will permit me to add one further quotatian from the same message, as follows: "In speaking of the increased cost to the consumer of our home mann. factures, resulting from a duty laid upon imported articles of the same description, the fact is not over 1hrokod that competition among our domestic producers sometimes has the effect of keeping the price of their products below the highest limit allowed by such duty. 3-.t it is notorious that this competition is too often strangled by combinations quite prevalent at this time and fro. quently called trusts, which have for their object the regulation of the Rupply and prica of commodities made and sold hy members of the comblination. The people can hard. ly hope for any consideration in the operation of their selfish echemes." "Less than a year after this an nouncement of Democratic doctrine it was made a target for all sorts of attack in a Presidental election. The timid wvere assured that absolute free trade would follow Democratic sue. ness; that the importers paid the cus torn duties, and above all that if any revision or change was expedient it should be entrusted to the friends of the tariff. The people were 'per suaded to continue these friends in political control and they forthwith contructed a new scheme of high protection. The bill then passed, was so full of abominations and so plairly showed the heedlessness of its authors and beneficiaries and their disregard of the interests of the people that the voters of the land, though accustomed to yieldingY to tariff delusion, were prompt in their revenge and condemuna. "It might naturally be supposed hat so violent a blow as was then given wvould adlmonish, if it did not reform, the supporter of selfish tariff bene~lit. T1his, however, wasi by3 no meansH mi accord with their uinturen nor mi agreremnt with their macchin - stionis.

"Sooner than they had the least reason to expect the friends of the tariff or, in other words, those who songht to grow rich with govern ment help at. the expense of the peo ple, with their aidei and abettors, had turned over to them the work of again adjusting tariff rates. How did they approach the task? Was it, with a patriotic inten tion to benefit the masses of our peo ple and make their burdens lighter? This they would hardly declare with out a sly wink. Was it even with the ftar of the people before their eyes? Surely nothing indicates it. Their work was undertaken as they would have entered upjoni a privilege *-to make the most of it. I have heard it said upon e'xcellent authority that expectant benofici aries under t he exist ing tariff laws-by its friends -wvere actually allowved to construct the schedule by which they expected to profit. This wvas quite in keeping with the color and complexion of the entire scheme. Evidence abounds in and about it indicating that the wel fare and interests of the common people of our land weore not allowed to (dist nrh in any unp)leasant degree the serenity of those having the work in hand. I believe this last exploit of the so called friends of the tariff in its revision should amply satisfy any thoughtful citizten, nubiased by initerest that the spirit of a high pro tect ive tariff grows by indulgence and1 mocks what it feeds upon, and that its p)rogressive greed and ruth lessness is becoming more and more a menace to the welfare and happi niess of our peop)le.

When this was written I. suppose the trusts and com binations mentioned as qni,e preva. lent, so far as they were at all impor tant, might have been counted off by the fingers of the hands. When the friends of the tariff last took up the work of its reconstruction these trusts and com,binations had increased by the hundreds. The consequence of their operations could not fail to be understood. It was as plain then as now that a high protective tariff de fends them against foreign compe. tion, and that by a greed association and confederacy in production and price they defend themselves against competition at home. It was per fectly apparent that under the broad wings of high protection anrd fattened by unearned accumulation they could complacently close their ears to the troublesome cry for easier living from the everyday consu'ner. "The present tariff conidit ions have assumed a complexion which niot only requires a check of its aggressive ness, but actual amendment, is at last admitted among those responsi ble for these conditions. Such a concession was made when a dozen or more reciprocity treaties were sub mitted to the Senate, but the sincerity of the concession and the honest inten intention to surrender the ldast advan tage as long as it canbe held is empha tically disproved by the.fact that ses sion after session of the Senate has passed without taking the least ac tion on these treaties. "I need hardly refer to the preva lence just at this time among the supporters of high protection of dec larations and professions in favor of tariff readjustment. We bear of it on every side.

Fees That ti,,he reutry of state ftuunt C'ollSect. The following opinion has been filed by the assistant attorney gene ral in response to a request from the Secretary of State, and it means con siderable to companies desiring to increase their capital stock. Dear Sir: You request to t>e ad.. vised as to the fees to be charged fop increasing the capital stock of corpo rations. section 851 of the eivil code of 1902 provides the' manner for in creasing the capital stock, and di rects that the fee to be paid to the Secretary of State shall be the fee required by section 1888 for each charter issued or renewed. That section provides: "The Sec retary of State is hereby authorized and required to collect the following, fees upon each charter issued or re newed to any corporation, p)ayable when said charter is issuerd or re newed. T1he sum of one mill upon each dlollar of the capital stock au thorized, up t.o and including one hundred thousand dollars, the sum of one-half of a mill upon each dol lar of the capital stock exceeding one hundred thousand dollars, and1( up to ansd including one msilIlion (dollars, atnti the slum of one, fourth of a mui u porn each dollar of th)e capital stock exceedmig one million dollars," etc. and.the fees fo)r tiling and recording the necessary papers. It is evident that tho fees as stated uinder section 1888 are the fees to be charged for an increase of capital stock. Of course this section does niot ap)ply to municipal corporations, churches, colleges, schools, or other eleemosynary organ izat ions. It is said that the Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to visit the United States in 1904. - - . - ~ - VT istor3 ESS.

About midnight. pe'ople I were aroused by the ringing of the fire bell and soon a large crowd had assembled at the scene of th(3 fire When discovered the flames had such headway that there was no chance 01 subduing them. The fire originated in the kitchen of the Planters' Hotel and is supposed to have been cansed by a defecti e flue. Among the b)uildings burned were the Planiters' Hotel, a large t bres st ory frame build. ing, owned by Mr. J. W. H-olliday; the frame livery stables of alessrs. J. WV.

All the build ings burned were on the east side~ of Main Street, north of the railroad. it was only by the hardest work that the livery stables of Mr. E. E. Evans, just across the street from the Plant era H-ote'l, and the dwelling of J. M Williams were kept from hurning. Messrs. J. W.
