State has been interviewed in Washing

have enough to attend TO on our wi

THE SOUTH AND HI TARIFF.

The Northern protectiOnists are ex.
cited, OF course, about the Wilson bill
and in their agitation very absurdly
pretend that the South Is getting
more than her share Of protection.
They call IL a Southern measure and
are deeply grieyed that there are six
Southern members out Of seventeen OF
the Ways and Means Committee, and
write at length Of The undue influence
Of the South In the matter. The rep
resentatives Ola few coal mines and
furnaces in the South have been bold
to speak for a whole section and mis-
represent Southern interests and ideas
generally, stimulating the assumption
that she favors a continuance of a
system which imposes upon her bur-
dens so vast without corresponding
benefits. The unprotected interests
In the South have in the past ten years
cqnaled in value four times the ma
tional debt at its highest point and
the product of the protected interests
is a mere bagatellc when compared to
this. The measure Is not unjust to
the South, neither Is the effect to de-
spoil the North. The Wilson bill,
while it does not change the unprOtec-
ted state Of the agricultural products,
does help the farmer and the masses ;
the necessities Of life are cheapencd
and the poor reap the benefits in this
respect alike with the rich. The peO-
pie have asked for tariff reform; the
new schedule is democratic and con-
%servatiye, and meets the wants Of the
masses Of the country in general. The
agricultural interests do not ask for
protected products, but wants cheaper
manufactured necessities. The new
proposed tariff law meets the demand
and recognizes the law of justice by
bringing down from their high perch
the favored few whose purses have
been stuffed with the coins of the
toiling many-the result Of past pro-
lection laws.

4 D SEA COAST CITY.

1t was the good fortune Of a repre-
sentative Of the DEMOCRAT.STAR to
pay a visit last Sunday aboard the
Norwegian bark Ragna, of which
Capt. A. Andersen Isl in charge. An
introduction to the ladies, Madam
Andersen and her niece Miss Maren
ThorbjOrnsen was an honor highly
appreciated. We were treated with
distinguished hospitality. The cabin
was cosy, ~tastefully arranged and ev.
erything disposed for comfort and
ease. In course Of Il conversation
the captain drew from his elegant IL
brary and opened to our delighted
vision a handsome assortment of pho
tographic scenes taken at the thriv-
ing city of Cape Town, South Africa.
This wOrld-famed centre stands on
the south side Of Table Bay and at the
foot Of Table Mountain, commanding
some of the finest scenery known to
civilized man. Elegant homes, mag.
n%iflcent villas, embelish the Macy
heights and give undoubted evidence
of a populace and enterprising COM
munity. He had shown us a natural
curiosity IN shape of "A leaf, called the
silver leaf, so perfect is its similitude
to that precious and perplexing metal.
This wonderful phenomena is indigo
nous to the table lands and under the
splendid brilliancy of an African sun
throws back the rays of that mighty
orb till the earth itself seems incrus-
tated with crysta!izcd beams of the
moon.
The GROWING glory of Cape Town,
however, lies in its splendid harbor
for which it was not indebted to ma
ture, but to the energy and pluck of
her people. The dock is l OPS feet in
length by 4SO in width with a depth of
twcnty-four feet of water, covering an
area of ten acres with jetties to pro-
tect the entrance to the basins.

Mr.. Chas. Z. Everitt, of Handsboro,

In Harrison and Jackson counties why
