Southern Industries Injured.

Our southern friends should observe
that our imports of raw cotton III 1895
were 20 per cent larger than In 1892,
under protection. They should also OBJ
serve that our imports of rice were over
SO per cent larger in 1895 than in 1892,
while there was also an increase Of ~
per cent in our imports of the manu-
featured products of rice. Again, the
imports of leaf tobacco are increasing.
being nearly ID per cent larger in 1895
than in 1892.
These facts should be well borne in
mind by the southern agricultural pro-
ducers. They are the results Of Dem
ocratic free trade control in congress.
They are the results of the manipulation
Of congress by the free trade party-a
party that processes to favor southern
interests, yet which lost no opportunity
to iniure them There was no hesitation
in giving $40. 900, 900 worth of protec-
ton to the Sugar trust while southern
interests suffered, and even yet the in
adequate and honestly earned claims
of the southern sugar growers remain
unpaid, SO that the free trade admins
tration could on paper make "a better
showing Of their annual deficit by the
retention of funds long since overdue
and which should long since have been

A Tariff on Hemp.

Speaking in 1912 in the house in
favor of an increased duty ON hemp TO
keep out foreign hemp and encourage
our Kentucky farmers, James Buchanan
said that the increased import duty on
hemp demonstrated that IAN add
tional duty was absolutely necessary to
check its further progress, unless you
wish to givethe growers of the article
in Russia an exclusive monopoly of our
market i'll preference to our own farm
ers. The additional duty is moderate
favor of our own agriculture F"
There was not a word said about plac-
ing duty on agricultural products for
revenue nor for revenue only. Quite

Net money loss. .s6s, Col 81

Out of % different articles It appears
that of only did we export larger
quantities last year than in 1894; that
in the case of articles only was
there an increase in value; of II ont of
the % commodities we sold less In
quantity and Of Is we sold less in value.
In the case of illuminating oil, which
shows an increase of over 81. 600, 900 in
the value of our exports, there was a
decrease of Is, 400, 900 gallons in the
quantity exported The recent sharp
rise in the price Of coal oil accounts for
this difference. Among the provisions
il will be seen that we sold over 3d.
600, 600 pounds more lard last year, but
received 81, $40, 600 less money than in
1894 We also sold 81, IA, 600 pounds
more bacon, but received 1928, $40 less
money.
Capturing the markets of the world
ON any such basis as this, where we
have sold larger quantities Of our com
modities at much lower values, can
hardly he profitable undertaking for
the producers of such articles. No
doubt the cotton growers will bear us
out in this statement, because, al
though during the break in the wall Of
protection we sold upward of $50, 000, =
600 pounds more cotton in 10 months
than during the corresponding period of
the previous cotton crop year, yet the
price received for our total exports Of cot
ton was So. 430, 900 less than when we
sold over a million bales less. In other
words, we have practically given away
l.62+000 bales of cotton for nothing,
and have also received So, 490. 900 less
money than we did when we sold a
smaller quantity in 1894.

FARMERS WANT GOOD TIMES.
One Glass of People Who Have Escaped
the Democratic Business Boom.

read in the papers that business Is
reviving in the cities and manufacturing
centers. If that is fact, wish the
agricultural sections could receive some
of the medicine that Is stimulating
other industries. Never in my day
have l ever seen business as dull III this
county among the farmers and day labor
ers as at the present time. Farm prod
uce cannot find market anywhere ex'
cept at ruinously low prices. Potatoes,
which form our staple product, 30 cents
per bushel; cheese brings about cents
per pound; eggs, II cents per dozen;
butter, IA TO 10 cents per pound at the
stores, and paid III trade at that. Money
is as scarce as the proverbial Then e.
teeth" even the most well 10 do farm
ers say that il is almost impossible 10
get money enough 10 meet current ex-
penses, many being obliged to contract
debts 10 provide the necessaries of life
for themselves and families. AS for
men who depend upon their daily labor
for the support Of themselves and fam
lilies, il is almost impossible for them
to obtain "a days work anywhere, for
the simple reason that men who usually
hire work done upon their farms cannot
find money to pay their help.
All this trouble can be traced to the
working of the German tariff law. We
never before experienced such dearth
Of money or such stagnation in business
But the lesson, though tough one, has
had its effects. ] know Of many men
who never voted anything but the
Democratic ticket who declare that they
will never vote for party again that
will cause such financial distress as the
Democratic party inaugura,ed On March
4, 1898. These complaints are but the;
mutterings of the great storm that will
sweep this land in November, 1896, and
sweep from power, and hope forever,
the free trade business destroying De-
mocracy. Until that time comes there
can be no hope of general prosperity to
the people of our land.

not to undertake to prevent the mines from
shipping ore During the day three steam

The men are as determined as ever not
to submit. This was shown at the meet
