There is a wide difference Of opinion up
on this all.imPOrtant subject between Judge
Batlaile, the Democratic candidate for the
State Senate forthis district, and Mr.. Miles,
the Wing candidate for the same station,
and this wide difference should be general
ly understood, and we trust it will be prop
erly appreciated.
Our Auditor, Col. Matthews, and our
State Treasurer, Gen. Clark, in a state
ment which they made on the 18th July,
1916, (which has been generally publish
ed) show that it will require THREE years
more at dtc present erOrbitant rate Of tar-
alton, for the revenue to afford enough, al.
ter paying the annual expenses Of the State
Government, to pay the domestic debts Of
the State, consisting of the out standing
funded warrants &c. Now, Mr.. Miles is
in favor Of paying the Union Bank Bonds,
and Of taxation for that purpose, and has
openly avOwed that if on the expiration Of
the fiscal year ending March, 1916, there
shall not be a sufficient Over.plus in the
Treasury after paying Ofthe domestic debt,
to pay off the interest of the Union Bank
Bonds, he tOiu be in favor Of INCREASING
the taxes-he is also in favor Ofliquidating
the interest on the Planters Bank bonds
now due, by immediate taxation. From
the present amount Of the pretended I'm
ion Bank bond debt, the Planters Bank
bond debt, and the domestic debt, (Which it
will require three years to pay at the pres
ent rate Of taxation it is certain that to
carry out these favOrite measures of Mr..
Miles the wing candidate, which he has ad.
vOcated would require an ENORMOUS
INCREASE upon The present already too
high and oppressive rate Of taratiOn.
People of YazoO and Madison, Demo-
Gratis and Wings, are you willing to submit
to such exorbitant taxation! Taxation so
unnecessary and unjust! Are you ready
to permit the fruits Of your hard labor to be
wrung so unjustly from you'll On the con-
.trary Judge Battaile is utterly opposed to
ever paying the Union Bank bOnds-and
opposed under any circumstances to an In
crease of the present rate of taxatiOn-he
thinks that after the domestic debt is paid
off. inasmuch as more valuable lands are
becoming taxable every year, and the tide
Of emigration continues to increase the
wealth and property Of our State, that the
TAXES CAN AND SHOULD BE GREATLY RE.
DUCED-and that the burthen which now
bears so heavily upon the people should be
LIGHTENED. These views Of Judge Bat
tale must meet with the appreciation of all
who desire to promote the general prosper.
ity, and the true interests Of the State.

The NEXT LEGIsLATURE.-THE PRES.
ENT ELECTION LAws.-The people look
forward to the next session of our State
Legislature as one of the most important
that has ever convened. 1t will act upon
questions intimately connected with the
prosperity of our State and the general
welfare Of the people, and prior to its as
sembling they should properly deliberate
and vote with reference to them. While
a reform is progressing in our municipal
affairs, we would urge change IN the gen.
erGI election La'rs Of MississiPpi, and doubt
not that such change would meet with the
unanimous approval Of the qualified cleo.
tors of the State.
The present system Of holding the cleo
ton for two days can be productive Of no
public benefit. while it may be a source Of
injury to the rights and interests of the
people. A serious objection to it is that by
keeping the ballot box open Ior such a
length Of time, an opportunity is given for
fraud to be Practised upon it in various
methods; indeed under the present system
It is actually encouraged. In nearly all Of
The States Of the Union elections are held
for one day only, and we hear Of no disad-
Vantages attending it-and no complaints
are urged against it by the people. We
would then suggest the adoption Of that sys-
EN- (hOldiRg The election for one dqy) in
leu of the present, and we hope that The
press generally win give an expression Of
sentiment upon the subject.

The TARIFF-lGPORTANT FACTS FOR
COTTON PL4NTERs.-It iS urged as an ar.
gument by those who are in favor Of the
present high Tariff system, that il protects,
encourages and enriches our own manu-
Eactuners, and thereby enables them to give
higher prices for the raw material Now
let rs test this assertion by 1ndeniabIe facts,
and statistical authority which cannot be
doubted-and prove that the cotton plan.
ters Of the south cannot rely upon the north
eFn manufacturers 70 afford market for
their crops. DURING THE LAST FIVE
YEARS THE DEMANDS FOR COTTON IN EU.
ROPE HAVE INCREAsED 100000 bales
AND THE EXPORTS HAVE ADVANCED AC.
cORDINGLY-in the same length of time
the consumption in the United States has
increases but $4,000 bales. Moreover, al.
though the population Of the United States,
increased so per cent every ten years
yet the consumption during the last eigh.
teen years does not more than maintain the
percentage Of crOPs-while it should vastly
increase to keep pace with the population.
After summing up the above facts the New
York News says,
"With a population Increasing so per
cent every ten years the CONSUMPTION If
cotton goods remains stationary: a result
which necessarily attends the kieh prices
maintained By artificial means for CLOTH
In England, and those countries of Europe
where the ral0 article Is admitted free, and
the lmPOsitiOns upon the manufactured ar.
tlcle are small, the consumption increases

great sOever may be the production Of cot.

the present system cGnROt lOok to their oDa

Let cotton planters Of the south who are
constantly persuaded to submit to taxation
for the special benefit of northern manuiac. |

that they are thereby building up q sale
