reduction of our tariff as proposed, as being
more conductive TO English interest than

The UNITED STATES The Washington

of parties in Congress in. 1912, remarks
while We are contrasting the present with

one very important element ofour present
condition, arising from the Unprecedented
increase in our population. The census of

l12. An increase of nearly 100000,
and some millions are to be added since
1910.
We have also greatly increased in the
number Of States to our Union. In 1910,
we had l7-now, we have %. We have
also increased our territorial districts, add
ing many hundreds Of thousands Of square
miles.
Amidst all these mighty changes, we have
nothing to fear from any foreign power, but
every thing TO hope, if we as nation only
adopt the advice Of old Polanius to his son
This, above aIl;--te thine own self be true:
And it will follow, as the night the day,
Thou can'st not the be false to any man.

prOpelling steamboats,, by which, it is said,
a speed of flom twenty five to thirty miles
an hour may be obtained in navigating riv-

now before the committee Of the United

ments are making TO carry it into practical

The New AppOrtiOnnlent Bill

Represented our readers, last week, with
the new Apportionment Bill, from which
each one can judge fOl himself of tho fair,
ness and justice of Mississippi Legislation,
when private and particular interests are
allowed TO sway the minds Of our rcpresen>
tatives. We have not seen much Of the
opinion of the press upon this subject, but
we think 1t should meet with universal con-
demnatiOn. To our mind, there is nothing
fair, just or democratic in any Of its parts.
II has for its basis the white population, and
excludes from representation all the proper.
ty Of the people.-Is this fair? What con.
constitutes the honor, the glory and the
standing of natiOn7 Is it the number Of
its inhabitants! Is it not rather the wealth
Of its internal resources, developed by the
industry of its sonsl Is it not their labor
and the instruments which their labor have
lproducedl Its cities, its manufactures, lis
shipping, its railroads, its canals, its vast
mineral and vegetable prodnctsl And should
not this labor and property be represented
in our State and National councils. Is il
right, that that portion of the state which
bears, the greatest share of burdens Of the
government, which contributes the larger
TO the public treasury-should be entitled
to the least representation? Is it democratic
that that portion of the State which pays tn,
smallest amount of taxes should have tn,
f right and the power TO dispose Of the whole
revenue Of the State? Is it just that on
slaves, that species Of property which con
stitutes the wealth of our State, should b,
entirely uLreprcsentedl
We could never see anything just or equi
table in that mode of aPportionment whicI
has the white population for its basis. an,
it would be resisted by every Mississippial
T were it attempted to be made tho basis o
federal representation why is it in
troducCd into our State apportioDment
! Time will devclope. 1t was passed for th
purpose Of carrying out some scheme agi
tated in the northern part of the State, (fo
the North will now have the power)--an
| we firmly believe it was passed only by
coalition between the Northern and South
crn men upon that bill Of denominations, lh
