PROTECTION FOR SEA ISLANDS.
A Movement 10 Secure a Tariff on
EEYptian Cotton.

The movement of the lumbermen of this
section to secure a protective tariff on
lumber may be followed by a movement
on the part of sea island cotton growers
to secure a duty on Egyptian cotton in
the interest of higher prices for their own
product.
Opinions are now being gathered by one
or more Savannah houses from Georgia
and Florida growers, as to what effect
tariff on Egyptian cotton would have on
the production and price of American sea
islands. The production of sea islands has
increased from Is, 400 bales in 1888 to 49, 045
in 1895. consumption increasing with pro-
duction; yet prices have declined from
around 2Sc to 13c, this great decline being
thought not so largely due to over produce
ton, as TO the enormous increase in the
importations of free Egyptian, which COM
petes directly or Indirectly with all the in
termediate and lower grades of American
sea islands in the manufacture of the
coarser of threads ana in hundr eds OF other
uses.
The importatlons of Egyptian for the
years ending Aug. 81, 1890, We're 1910
bales; 1892, 27,7S9 1893, 42475; 1894, 81, sos:
1885, 59.4lS and for the year ending Aug
81 1896, 1920, equal to about 104,7S7 bales
American weight 400 pounds.
Sea islands are principally grown in
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida,
Georgia producing more than double both
the other states OF last years $4,000 bales
.
and $1,000 exported, while American spin
ners bought, as above shown, 1884, 7S7 bales
approximately, from Mohammedan COM
petitors. Production and consumption viii
increase as the years go on. the capacity
production in the states named Georgia
especially, being practically unlimited.
A circular letter, sent out from Savan-
nah, says while organized lumbermen
and eastern and northern manufacturers
are beseeching representatives in congress
for a tariff on their products, sea island
cotton growers make no organized effort
in that direction. This country is COM
mitted in policy to a system of protection
for American industries which come in
competition with cheap foreign labor and
it seems to us reasonble that our people
so largely interested in sea island cotton
growing, should fall into line in behalf
of this great industry, without reference
10 which political party we vote with If
you favor this view of the case we sug-
gest that you write your congressman,
calling attention to the matter, and we
believe that your earliest efforts will bear
the best fruit

NOT ON THE INSIDE.
Some Citizens Club Men Who Dis
credit Mr.. Myers Withdrawal.

I There appears to be no doubt OF the re-
/ port published in the Morning News yes
| terday 10 the effect that Mayor Myers
viii not be the candidate for reelection TO
the Office he now holds, and in all proba-
biiity, as stated, Col. William Garrard
viii be asked to run as that candidate.
The report is denied by several of the
leading politicians of the Citizens Club
but it is confirmed also from sources which
may be considered authoritative. 1t looks
like a case OF some of the leading Citizens
Club politicians not being on the inside
quite to the extent they think they are
or else it is that the plan had as yet been
made known only TO a favored few. until
a more suspicious occasion for unveiling
il.
However that may be. the first report of
the plan came from Liberal Club leader,
who was willing TO make a wager that
such an arrangement had about been de-
cided on, and at the same time announced
that he was betting on a certainty.
Mayor Myers when asked about the mat
ter. declined to be interviewed. \ friend
Of the mayor, however. made the state
ment several days ago that he did not
think Mr.. Myers would make the race, and
that in any event he would go very slow in
the matter, ii being his intention TO see
first how the registration looked, and
whether Ii showed an undoubted majority,
and a good one for the Citizens Club. The
registration closed some days ago, and has
doubtless been extensively figured on by
both sides before now; still Mayor Myers
may have come to this conclusion, if he
has done so, without It's implying that the
Citizens Club leaders conceded anything
on the registration.
The general idea among the Liberal
Club leaders all along has been that Mai.
p w Meldrim would be their candidate.
Should Col Garrard consent to make the
race and the Liberal Club insist on hav-
ing Maj. Meldrim as their candidate, there
would be brought about the awkward po-
sition of two law partners of long stand
ing actively opposing each other for the
principal Office in the gift of the people of
Savannah. Liberal leaders, however, say
they do not believe this situation will be
brought about, and that either one or the
other will not enter the race. The ques-
ton of candidates is beginning to assume
an interesting aspect, and the people are
waiting in anxious suspense for the an
nouncement Of the leaders of the two
sides

TARIFF FOR RICE AND COTTON.
RICE GROWERS AND SEA ISLAND
PLANTERS WANT PROJECTION.

The Rice Association May Send a
Delegation Before the Ways and
Means Committee of Congress Next
Week-COttOn Men Feeling the
Pulse of Sea Island Planters-A
Duty Wanted on Egyptian Cotton.
A meeting of the Savannah Rice Asso-
citation and all Others interested in the rice
industry has been called by Col. ]. H. NJ
Clinch. president of the association. at
the office Of the Savannah Freight Bu-
reau in the board of trade building, at 4
O'Clock this afternoon.
The object Of the meeting is TO consider
the advisability Of sending a representa-
tive to Washington to appear before The
ways and means committee of congress,
which will consider the rice schedule on
Jan ). As has already been announced
in the Morning News, the ways and means
committee of congress has remained in
session during the holidays, in order TO
expedite work on the new tariff bill. The
lumber schedule is to come up Dec. % or
81, at which time the lumbermen of the
country, including those of this section,
viii be fully represented for the purpose
of advocating the reimposition of the tar
if of 81 per thousand Oh lumber, which
was removed by the Wilson bill.
The tariff on rice imposed by the Nc
Kinley bill was cents pound on cleaned
and IA cents on uncleaned rice. The Will
son bill reduced this to 11a cents on cleaned
and cent on uncleaned. The duty of
three-quarters cent per pound on paddy
in the Mckinley bill was continued in the
Wilson bill Seeing that the republican
congress is disposed to increase the tariff
duties and that If the increase is not made
by the present congress it is almost GER
tain to be made by the next congress-
those interested in the rice industry have
begun a movement to have the duty OF z
cents a pound on cleaned rice restored.
The louisiana rice planters have already
taken action at New Orleans and nave
been in correspondence by telegraph with
President Purse of the board of trade on
the subject The result of this was the
call for the meeting of those interested
in the rice industry at Capt. Purses office
to-day. The meeting Will very probably
decide to send a representative to Wash
tives of the rice planters of Louisiana and
South Carolina in an effort to have an in
creased duty on rice Incorporated in the
new tariff schedule
1t is well known that there has been a
decrease in the rice acreage planted in
into effect and that the business has not
been a profitable one for the planters.
BY the time the Georgia growers of long
staple cotton, the Georgia wool growers
and the Georgia manufacturers of cotton
and other goods add their petitions to
those of the lumbermen and the rice
growers for protection for their several
products. the republican congress will be-
gin to think that Georgia is as hungry for
protection as Massachusetts.

THE SERVICES AT TRINITY.
Rev. 6. G. n. MacDOneITs First Ser
mon Since His Return Here.

Rev G. C. ". MacDonell, presiding ell
der of the Savannah district, preached his
first sermon here since his recent appoint
ment at Trinity church yesterday morning.
He took his text from / Cor, iii, first
part OF the ninth verse: I'VE are labor
ers together with God"
Rev. Mr. MacDonell began with the
idea that in all of Gods works outside of
redemption He acts independent of any
creature agency. 1t is so, he said. in Gre
alton, preservation and giving laws to
man. In redemption, he said, He did not
use agencies. Christ became incarnate
and dwelt among men. In one part of
the work of redemption, in making the
atonement for sin, He acted alone. In
making known the wonderful salvation
which he had provided he again used hui
nan agencies. He established His church,
called His apostles, commissioned them
and their successors in the ministry to
teach alterations and preach the gospel to
every creature.
God calls to this work, he said, not only
tthe ordained ministry, but the entire
church, and every member is under the
obligation oshelp spread the gospel and
save souls. The great work of the church
is to seek and to save the lost, and any
church which fails TO make that its first
and highest work fails to comprehend its
true mission to the world. A prosperous
church Is not to be estimated by its
wealth, or mental culture, or
social position, but by its
work in saving the lost. Many
of the most inefficient churches in the
country are those which have great
preaching and splendid music, but as ag-
gressive forces for combating sin and
saving the lost, they are failure.
In this age, he said, God is using the
laity of the church, the consecrated men
and women. as never before to carry on
this great work, and the qualifications for
this work are holiness of heart and life,
knowledge of Gods word and a burning
desire to save souls. 1t is a great honor
to be an assistant with God in great en-
terprise like this, to have Christ as our
leader, the holy spirit to- give inspiration
TO all our plans, and all the resources of
! heaven at our command. If we work in
harmony with God in these plans, there
! can be no failure.
In closing, he exhorted the church to be-
| gin the conference year with new zeal, to
cooperate heartily with the pastor, and
/ each member to try during the year. to
| to the fact that just forty-three years ago
! he was converted at the altar of Trinity
| church in Savannah, his native home, and
| providence has now sent him among the
/ people in an official capacity He prayed
/ that all might have a delightful and a
1 prosperous year, and under Gods guild
/ ance and spirit he felt that all would.
! Last night Rev. Mr. MacDonell preached
/ at Marvin church, on West Broad street
| He will make his home in Savannah dur
ing his term in charge T the district.

Preservation of the TeIfair Works
of Art "a Difficult Work.
Those interested in the preservation of
the works of art in the Telfair Academy
of Arts and Sciences have made the sug-
gestion recently, and very emphatcally
that it should be a matter of duty with
the city government to aid in as far as it
is possible for it to do so. in this work
of preservation, by putting such streets
around the building as would reduce to a.
minimum the danger Of destruction of
both pictures and casts by the fine dust
that is constantly getting into the build
ing and settling upon them.
The academy now has dusty streets upon
three sides of it, jefferson street being the
only one that Is paved. Formerly the
streets around the building were kept pref
" well wa tered but this is no longer done
The consequence is the fine dust from the
streets gets into the academy through
every crack or opening, no matter how
small. and Is constantly settling upon the
works Of art within
