EdentOn wants another Railroad,
and Edenton must and shall have
another.
Now, why should such word be
said. 1t is this: A few land sharks

this Road wanted a depot. Did
We say q few? Aye, but that word
was meant to express the smallest
number possible under it's meaning,
for only two individuals were directly
responsible for it's failure to obtain a
suitable depot
We are anxious for this road to
make this point its terminus and are
willing to devote our time and space

II will be seen that IL sugars had been
free of duty in these Ave months as they
are now. and yet not more largely i'm
ported than they were when subject to
duty. the total of dutiable imports
would have been only Sl6s. 6.3. O31 and
the total of free imports would have
been S151. l21.5s1. or 49, per cent of
the whole. beginning with April. in
all probability the imports of sugar
will be largely increased by the removal
of duties SO that the proportion of free
imports is likely TO be nearly if not
quite 80 per cent of the whole. Never be-
fore has the proportion been asgre az
except as in the single year 1s4l. and if
the free goods during this month rise
above 49, per cent of the whole. as they
probably will. the proportion will be
larger than it was even in the year ISL
Mr.. Mckinley was absolutely correct
in saying that trade was more free than
it had ever been under any other tariff.
and yet the imports during the current
fiscal year are already larger by nearly
$40. 600. 900 than in the same months of
any previous year in the history of the
country. and larger in proportion to
population than they ever were under
any other kind OF tariff.

THE NEW TARIFF,

1t Gives Us Wider and Fr-er Trade Than
Was Ever Enjoyed Under Any Other
Tariff Law.
A thrill OF surprise went through the
great audience at the Tribune jubilee
when Mr.. Mckinley stated in that de-
hberate manner which assured his
hearers that he made no statement
carelessly or without full belief Of its
truth: The new tariff gives us wider
and freer trade than was ever enioved
under any other tariff law" Probably
nine-tenths of his hearers were aston
ished- Some wondered if the statement
could be strictly true. Yet it is the fact
that at this very hour a greater proper
ton OF the importations into the United
States from other countries is freer of
duty tran under any previous tariff
since the government was established
Washington. jefferson and the found
ers OF the republic imposed duties on
nearly all imports The first tariff
which they enacted. that of 1889. after
imposing specific duties on many arti-
cles. and on others moderate ad valorem
duties, added five per cent duty on all
other articles imported. The only ex-
emptions in the original tariff appear to
have been of skins. hides and furs I'M
dressed. dye woods and drugs for dye
ing. raw cotton and wool. brass iron or
steel wire. manufactured pewter and
tin. pig brass. copper sheathing and crude
saltpetre. Raw cotton was also made
dutiabIe in 1871. 1t was not until the
tariff Of 1871 that tools and furniture OF
immigrants were made free. or philo-
sophical apparatus. or plaster of Paris.
or old brass, or gold or silver bullion
Nor We're manufactured woods. sui
phur. copper in pigs or birthstone made
free until 1922. nor rags, bristles or I'M
manufactured clay until 1885, As late
as 1921 the free imports were but one
twenty-seventh part of the entire i'm
ports in value. nor We're they at any
time as much as one-tenth in value
under any tariff until the compromise
tariff of 1888.
Under that tariff the free goods were
at first a quarter of the whole. and
gradually rose in proportion until in
1910 and 1871. they were nearly half of
the aggregate. But under this tariff as
whole. the proportion of free imports
was only forty-two per cent. and it is
now. as will be shown. more than forty
eight per cent The tariff of 1872 re-
duced the proportion of free imports TO
about fifth. and under the low revenue
tariff enacted by the democrats in 1916
the proportion never rose as high as
quarter of the entire imports. Since
protective tariffs were imposed in 1851.
the proportion of free goods has ranged
from a quarter. and in some earlier
years much less. up TO about one-third
in the later years.
During the FIVE months ending with
February. the latest month of which
there are complete returns, the new
tariff has been in force excepting in the
first six days OF October. The following
shows the value of free and dutia bic
goods imported each month. and the du-
table imports of sugar included:

RULES FOR DRESS.

II is not hard TO be well dressed,
II you'll observe with care
Some fundamental principles
About the clothes you wear.
Your hat should always be on straight;
trihe either way
Will make the girl you walk with feel
Uncomfortable all day.
The collar that you wear should be
Not very high nor low.
For never 70 pronounced extremes
Allow yourself 10 go.
The necktie-herein lies world
Which few have conquered yet
Unless you feel sure Of your ground
A dark one you should get
You should o; course tie it yourself,
And, when you do this, mind
And stop by some ingenious plan
Its getting up behind.
In clothes Of course you will not wear
Loud checks or srripes-it's bes,
To get plain goods; and pray avoid
The gaudy colored vest.
Never a silk hat and sack coat
With this rule be i'm buea;
And patent leather shoes ere noon
Should likewise be tabooe.t
Each article OF dress you wear
Should hare some use. II no..
Then you should lose no precious time;
Discard IL on the spot
And he who practices these rules
Is trim but not too priE-
Will find he is Wei dressed, because
No one will notice him
