Reciprocity and the rliIIers.

According to NJ. II. Davis, of Shelby,
tee of the National Millers' association,
the $4,000 flour mills in the United
States have q capacity sufficient to con-
sumo In eight months Of the year all the
wheat grown in the country, despite
which fact 100000, 900 bushels out of
total average crop Of AGO, ,0OO, 900 bushels,
are exported in grain form. Besides
this export sum, 110,OO0.OOO bushels are
annually used for feed and seed. leaving
0,000, 900 bushels to be manufactured
into -four In this country. The grind
ing Of this amount Of wheat keeps the
mills busy less than five months each
year. Although they could grind 12O,-
100000 barrels of flour each year their
present aggregate output Is only 55.-
900 barrels. and this grist brings lit
tie or no profit
The milling trade, as Mr.. Davis points
out Is beginning to feel the ill-effects OF
the Democracy's recent abrupt cancel
ing of the reciprocity treaties negotiat-
ed during the Harrison administration.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record. Mr.. William T.. Curtis,
from whose interview with Mr. Davis
we CLEAN the foregoing figures, adds
from his own knowledge that large
amount of flour was thrown back upon
this country by the repeal of the reci-
procity treaties in 1894. which was fol-
lowed by decided decline in prices,
caused an immense loss all around and
threw out of employment not only a
large number of millers. but men who
make milling machinery and barrels
and paper sacks. The transportation
companies suffered also, as well as the
farmers. The exports of flour to the
countries with which reciprocity trea-
ties were made increased from 2.25O, ,75G
barrels in 1891 to 3,253,176 barrels in
1894. and then in 1895 dropped back to
2,726, ,55S barrels. The exports to Cuba
alone advanced from 114,447 to G62, ,24s
barrels and dropped to 379,s56 barrels

lady who died few weeks ago. Mrs.
Jones was the daughter OF former vicar

soon attracted attention by her remark

and groomed the horses.
Soon she was married again to farm

thinks that the whipping post would
be the proper remedy for the tramp
nuisance. But the Chicago Times
Herald fears that he leans toward
''sickly sentimentality" and playfully
suggests that shooting on sight would
solve the tramp problem by immedi-
ately eliminating the tramp.
The subject of abating this evil does
not look difficult, from u theoretical
standpoint. Tramps being of two kinds.
those who want to work but cannot
get work to do. and those who could
work but will not. it would seem that
the first step in every community
should be to assert the drones from the
unfortunates and then apply to each
the obvious remedy. Those who want
work should be given q chance to earn
their own livelihood by honest toll.
Those who don't want work should be
made to work, and so placed that their
Imprisonment would not be an incentive
to continued vagrancy.
Certainly no greater mistake can be
made than to foster the spirit of chron-
ic idleness by promiscuous giving to
all who solicit aims. The citizen who
cffers a meal to the tramp without ex-
acting some equivalent in the form of
labor. does society grievous injury.

Protection and the South.

thN pious "~SN'
ton OF the Charleston News and Cour-
Ter that South Carolina now manufac-
lures four-ifths of it's cotton crop, the
Washington Post predicts a gradual
but thorough change of political faith
in the Southern Democracy as a result
Of the remarkable growth of manufac-
lures In that section" 1t thinks that
the people of South Carolina especially.
when they come to clear under
standing of the relation between pro-
lection and this great Industrial
change: when they see that without
protection this would be impossible,
that reduced protection would be an
furious and free trade absolutely de-
structive of this business, will become
protectionists." They certainly VIII II
they are alive to their own interests;
and having once become protectionists,
it will be In order for them 10 go
logical step further and become Re-
publicans. in compliment to the party
that has stood by the principle of pro-
lection during its most dangerful
hours.
There is more reason why the South
should need protection than any other
section. In the South, the manufacture
ing industry Is in its infancy. 1t needs
all the protection that it can get. The
established industries of the North,
with their numerous perfected econo-
mics could survive an outside COM
petition which would quickly send
smaller and younger establishments
into receivers hands. The North, to
be sure, needs protection, because when
imports are abundant productive cir
cles take alarm and there is invariably
heavy hand upon every line of bust
ness; but the North is far better able
to weather a gale of this kind than
the South is. Its banks have more re-
serve capital, and 1t is in all respects
more solid. For this reason the South
is doubly indebted to protection and
should be doubly anxious to have that
beneficent system re-established and
maintained in all its integrity.
1t is palpably absurd that with illim-
liable natural resources at it's very
doors and labor both cheap and abund-
ant, the South should go on in the old
way. sending its raw cotton to Eng
land to be manufactured and then buy
ing the manufactured product back
from England, at well-marked ad-
vance over the terms of the original
transaction. This old way left the
wages and the profit in England and
kept the South impoverished. The new
South will do her own manufacturing
and will sell to England the woven
fabrics, thus keeping the wages and
the profits in the United States. When
this period in the South's development
is reached, the balance of Southern
trade with England will be in the
South's favor, gold will come in in
stead of go out, and there will be less
complaint among our Southern breth-
ren at the scarcity of the currency
caused, as they assert. by the undue
appreciation of gold. The key to the
whole Southern problem Is protection
1t will unlock the South's hidden riches,
bring education and thrift where now
are poverty and shiftlessness. and grad
ually weed out every lingering vestige
Of the economic fallacy OF slavery.

play Fair, Gentlemen.

Another chapter has been reached IN
the race for the Republican presidential
nomination in the indignant outburst OF
a number of papers because one OF the
intimate friends of ex-Governor NC
Kinley, Mark Hanna, of Cleveland Is
reported to have gone among promi-
nent manufacturers soliciting contribu-
tions to the Mckinley campaign iuho.
The papers which complain at this OF
course have no desire to see Mckinney
nominated. Their aim is to prejudice
the public mind with the belief that the
solicitation of friendly contributions to
a campaign fund involves some nefar-
ious violation of moral principle ana
screens some odious and repulsive plot.
1t occurs to us to say, not specially
in the interest of Mckinley but rather
in behalf Of truth, that this clamor
rests on a pretty small foundation.
There probably isn't a presidential cam
didate in the list who has not accepted
either personally or through agents,
contributions from friends for the part
payment of the necessary and ineVi-
table expenses of the preliminary cam
vass. Nor has any of these gentlemen
felt any conscientious scruples on the
subject. The practice in question is as
old as politics itself, and has never be-
fore been regarded as unfair or illegiti-
mate. TO rule it out would be to make
II hereafter impossible for any but
very rich man to seek the presidential
nomination, since poor one could not
foot the unavoidable bills of the pre-
convention canvass, or take the risk OF
borrowing in the face Of possible defeat
Among the present candidates, all
hut one are poor men. Quay is poor
man, Mckinley Is poor man, Allison
is not rich. Neither is Cullom, Tom
Reed Manderson nor Davis The only
one who could probably afford to pay
his own bills without asking cent
from friends Is Governor Morton of New
York. Yet nobody has suggested that
he should be nominated for this reason
alone.
The manufacturers of this country
owe debt to William Mckinley. and
SO do all other Americans, for the bril-
liant part he has taken in public life
In championing the policy Of protection,
under which our nation was made pros
porous beyond precedent. This is not
saying that they do not owe something
to other Republicans, also; especially
to Quay and Reed and Allison, who in
their way did much to formulate wise
protective laws. 1t is simply an at
tempt to say that the outcry against
McKinley's supporters for doing OPEN
ly and above board what all the other
fellows are probably doing on the sly
is a bit of unfair politics at which pub
lie justice Is disposed to cry a halt.
