UNION, 8. C. NOVEMBER 2S, 1902.
THE CONSUMER
NOT CONSIDERED.
The Kansas City Journal, a Republican
newspaper, outlines tho policy
of tho Republican tarilT law in a very
open and interesting manner. It
pays in substance that formerly its
chief aim was to save home markets
from foreign invasion of cheup goods.
While now besides the above they
have tho dual aim to protect tho
homo and to capture the foreign
markets. To do this the tariff must
save domestic industries that cannot
compete with foreign competition;
(this is protection) to aid home in....
.
austrios mat are not oniy iuuy nine
to compete with foreign concerns
here, but to successfully compete
with them in their own field provided
they are not prevented by tariil barriers
at the foreign end of the line.
To protect this class of industries reciprocity
measures are urged. Several
treaties are being negotiated by
our government, which will give
numerous American products special
privileges in the markets of many
foreign countries.
That is tho situation in n nut shell.
It will bo seen that instead of a revision
of the tariff in the interest of
the people, that the "people"
are not taken into consideration
at all, but it is the interests
of the trusts, corporations und combines
that is to be protected first,
last and all the time. This kind of
protection makes it possible for
American coucerns to manufacture
in America, ship their products
across the waters to Kurope, pay tho
transportation charges and sell to
foreigners at their own door3 cheaper
than they sell the same products to
their own people right here at home.
And foreign concerns in the same
business are prevented by an excessive
tariff from shipping their products
over hero and competing with
these tariff protected sharks. It is
protect the trusts, the people be
hanged.
Our Washington correspondent
says: Tho finding of a committee
appointed by tho National Board of
Trade, to investigate tho discrepancy
between the agricultural statistics
furnished by the last census and
those furnished by Secretary Wilson's
Bureau of Statistics, constitutes a
decided victory for tho latter. Among
oilier things it was found that in 101
counties tho total farm acreage, ns
given by the census, exceeded the
total nreago of the counties. Numerous
similar errors led the committee
to recommend that more scope be
given to the Agricultural Department's
bureau. Because of the wide
variation in the figures, Secretary
Wilson Is now conducting an investigation,
ponding tho conclusion of
which he has not disclosed his estimates
on the livo stock resources of
the country, but present indications
are that he will be able to publish his
fi,Hires with comparatively little modification.
Vox, our correspondent at Etta
Jjne, reports that Mr. O. W. Whisor.ant
has 5 fine hogs to kift this fall.
They will weigh betwoen 1,700 nnd
1,800 pounds. 'I hat shows that Mr.
Whisonant has a levol head on his
shoulders. How long, oh how long
will it bo beforo our Union farmors
onco more begin to raiso their own
meat. With bacon at 12^ cents a
pound in town, how can you afford
to neglect the important matter of
raising your own hogs? It means
money in your pockets. You cannot
raise too much meat. Tho people in
town can't raise hogs and they would
be glad to buy every surplus pound
you could have for sale.
Teddy Roosevelt has returned from
his bear hunt, no doubt thoroughly
disgusted because he could fiod uo
bears. Yon went In the wrong direction
Uncle Teddy, you should have
steered for Wall Street there you
would have found plenty of them.
The owners of the eoul mines agree
to accept and abide the results of
the commission, appointed to arrange
the difierencss, with tlio following j
exceptions: They will cot recognize
the Union, they will not agree to tho
reduction of working hours a day,
they wii! not agree to raise wages,
and they do not consent to change
the system of weighing. 1 hoy have
no doubt kindiy consented to allow
the miners to breath the fresh air
when they occasionally camo out of
tho mines.
An eminent physician who has
been investigating the matter says
that tho flour made by the roller
mills is responsible for the prevalence
of appendicitis. That there was very
little heard of appendicitis when
(lour was made by 1 lie old milling
process. However, as tho old style
mills have been superceded by the
now process, we will no doubt have
to griu and bear it, appendicitis and
all. It is almost impossible to get
back into the old way. Wo have always
thought that tho flour ground
at the old mill was sweeter and more
nutricious, though not so snowy
white as the new roller mills turn
out.

1 learn that Mr. Johnnie Meador
who got his leg broken about three weeks
ago is getting along all right enough. It
was broken atx>ve the ankle. 1 don't
imagine it would keep a man on his back
as long as a double break of the thigh,
but I know it is bad enough, and so I
can sympathize with him and hope he
will soon be "going alone" again.

happy. If you are like me you will want
it to get well instanter, for no one hates
to have a core nor even knock off a little
bit of skin than I do. J am so stingy on
that line that I do not like to part with
a small bit of the cuticle, and dislike to
liave to "lay to," as the sailors say, for
any kind of repairs, but I have had a
good portion of it to do.
Thanksgiving Day is coming apace
and how will we all spend it, or will the
majority of the people give any thanks at
all. Of course keeping or taking that
day to give thanks is only a form and
we can give thanks any other day and
ought to all the time, hut we ought not
to take it for debauchery nor selfishness.
It is a legal holiday that many will hail
with delight, that they mav have a day
for rest from regular line busincsss and
will take it for a day to hunt, sport and
perhaps feel the better for it.
At a negro church festival or "bar
flutter" over near Broad river one night
last week a few buck scions of the parent
trees got into a dispute which lipencil
into a slugging match, and when the
cracking of noggins became general, one,
a brother-in-law of one of the participants,
and on his behalf went in to
"light the mainland with Hits a ml sticks
began his work. The consequence of
the fight is several are nursing damaged
bead-pieces, and ills, pills and doctor's
bills are on the bill of fare and very
likely they are hunting up law suits
They all ought to have had a good slinking
down, for those young tellows love
to brag about what "I will do" in dispute
cases.

Carlisle church asked for it for August
but it was put off because of the Assooiation

so but had not time enough to arrange
for it after it was seen that it would not
go to Carlisle. B .t U.eio t?aa sickness

I heard there was another frolic out
w?-8t of Sautuc Saturday night in whi.'b
ad colors tniugh-d, to an extent, and pethaps
lupine was. on docket, wi-ii the
usual results, pistol shooting and fl ghti.ig,
some bruises and a nest full of taw,
suits, <piite a number being arrested.
| This is the sequel of almost all frolics,
I until they aro about to become putt id.
lint we hear rumors of pistol shooting
and men being shot, and the question is.
what is going to be done ab.K'l the pistol
business?
Concerning the capture of -Tee Keenan

the negro, I)au Hall, who is largely responsible
for blinking to arrest. KeenOTl

having out wind* d Messrs. Jeter aud
Julius, v hen they got Dan after him on
a horse, and Keenan was pushed ro hard
that lie fe'l. and immediately Dan was
ou hiin, rtt>d held liim down until help
arrived, though lie offered Dan three
i ('oil ?rs to let hiui go. Those young men
ran the mmdever hard, was sometimes
so close to him that thcv could almost
touch him, and for two days were complaining
of br ing sore and stiff from the
overexertion. When they Started out
to follow him I do not think they thought
of the murder, or was intending to capture
him outright, bo to speak, hut was
"shadowing" liim. But when he saw
he was followed he started to run and
dodge. They called to halt and that put
"wings" into his legs, and they began
to "tly" after liim, and chased him over
hills, hollows, creeks, through the woods
etc., and I guess the wouM-lie-woinan
was thinking all the time, "oh. my ueck,"
The only foolish thing, I think, those
boys did, was to start cut after a disguised
strange negro with not a firearm
of any description. How easy the negio
could have turned and killed either ol
them, but lie himself had nothing to
shoot with, having thrown his pistol, or
the murdered man's away. They did
this though thoughtlessly, as I have
said, they were not at first thinking of
taking him prisoner, but it is a bid plan
to follow one of suspicious looks without
anything. I reckon I was the lbst to
see the two strange "women" win,
they came here. I was at the shop
working, and saw them before they got
oil the railroad at the crossing above the
depot, aud they caure on to near our
shop, put down their big "grip-sacks"
and began to work about their "toilets,"
and came on by our window. I remarked
to a colored boy, that t hey were
only some degraded female tr.uups, and
we began to notice, brother aud I, about

they were tramps and paid no more attention
to them. I think when they
stopped in the road the man was pulling
his suubouuet a little closer over his face.
