She Made Sure.

1t was a bank near the suburbs OF
Brooklyn in which little girl, not
more than eight years old, made her
appearance the other day, asking If
she might see its workings, A polite
little girl was not to be refused, and
she was taken inside and shown the
various departments of the institution.
But that was not where the money was
kept; could she see where the money
was kept9 Certainly, and she was
taken to see the vaults. Still there was
no money to be seen, and she was not
satisfied. Could she see the money?
Certainly, If that was W hat she wished,
and the vault doors were thrown open,
and, with sigh of satisfaction, the
little girl saw some of the money in
which che was interested. do you
think burglars could get in herep" she
asked finally. Certainly not" re-
piled the bank official who had been
acting as conductor. "Itwould be very
difficult for burglars to get into the
bank, and they could not get into the
vaults. Butnow," he continued, "you
have asked me great many questions
little girl, and should like to know
why you are SO much interested in this
bank. "Well, said the little girl con.
hdently, my papa put 50 in the bank
for me theSther day, and wanted to
be sure that no burglars could get in

The American and the Chattanooga
Times insist that the duty on cotton
the Senate has placed in tariff bill is a
humbug tariff which will not be of the
least benefit to cotton growers, and
that 1T is unnecessary and will be dis
appointing for revenue purposes, If
it were true that twenty per cent ad.
valorem duty on raw cotton would not
be of any benefit to cotton planters or
to the Government it follows that it
we're a needless tax, but the contention
is reasonably made to the contrary,
and the Banner favors the giving of
the South so much of the benefit OF in.
cidental protection as may properly
fall to her share in the distribution of
rates. The South having been 80 long
solidly Democratic has suffered from
the anti-protection sentiment which
has controlled the party organization
under various and vague platform
declaration-has suffered from dis.
elimination in the application of tariff
duties which tended to promote inter-
ests in other sections. But there is a
growing sentiment in the South in
favor OF protection, and especially in
favor of fair distribution of the tariff
tax 80 that whatever of incidental pro-
lection is secured shall be of benefit to
Southern industries. This is a natural
growth of sentiment which indicates
that party deliverances are not 80
weighty in heirinfluence as they have
been in the South and that the tariff
question is regarded more and more as
business question In this section.
There has been for many years much
hair splitting discussion of the tariff,
but the people are discovering that,
after all as revenue must be raised
on imports, the debts imposed must
afford some measure Of protection,
and that this protection should be
fairly distributed. The Democratic
party, which has declared for "a tariff
for revenue only" tariff for revenue
with incidental protection, and "a
tariff for revenue" did not, when in
power undertake to make a tariff for

Years and years ago, when the Press
club, of more or less blessed memory,
was in existence, Britist newspaper
man-only they call it a journalist on
the other side-was at the club one
evening. He had been in Washington
for some time and was leaving next
day. Karl Decker made speech to
him.
Mr.. Soandso," he said "you have
spent some time with US, and you have
made many friends. We have become
attached to you. You are going away
tomorrow and we may never see you
again, but in order that you may al.
ways aave something by which to re-
member us, on behalf of the Press Club
present you this ring.
And then he struck the call bell on
the reading table near him. The Eng
lishman looked just trifle bewildered
for bit, then he reached out his hand,
thanked the club and pocketed the
bell. And bless his simple English
heart-next morning he told another
newspaper man how kind the Press
Club had been to him and what love.
ly presentation speech Mr.. Decker had
made.
Mr. Decker must have been awfully
nervous, you know" he said, "though
ne didn't show it, for he said, Il pre-
sentyou this ring, and don't you know,
1t wasn't ring at all; it was bell"

A MISPLACED MUSTARD PLASTER.
The Alarming Consequences of Sleeping Car

Together with his wife the man was

his intentions were honest when he
shriked loudly for brandy.
But there was none to be had; so,
with the instinct Of true woman dur
ing family affliction, the wife rushed
to her satchel and drew therefrom a
mustard plaster, an institution upon
which she pinned her faith in cases of
the kind, and requested the porter to
get hot water without delay.
When the poultice was in readiness
for application she returned and care.

An instant later howl rent the air
and voice of agony, emanating from
behind the long whiskers of stranger,

Nightcaps, disordered frizzles red

in power today. In view of this fact.
the Banner believes that the South
should have fair share of the protec.
tion. We are inviting manufactures
and all kinds or industrial enterprises
to the South, and entering upon an era
OF industrial progress, and for this
reason the protection sentiment is
growing in this section. 1t is natural
that this should be so, and it were idle
to deny that it is so. The cotton grow
ers will be like the sugar growers; if
they think an import duty on cotton
will be to their advantage, they will
favor the duty. The sentimental theory
OF free trade will weaken as business
interests increase which are affected
by the tariff.-Nashville Banner.

for the benefit of few Southern plant.
ers only. This is an absurd assumption
which is on par with the old ''robber
baron" tariff argument. 1t is senti-
mental contention which, carried to a
logical conclusion, would seek to ex.
clude the South from any advantage
accruing from tariff on any product
because everybody in the South is not
actually engaged in producing that
article. The Banner holds that in the
adjustments of tariff law which of
necessity gives some protection, the
Southern planter is entitled in con.
sideration as well as the Northern pro.
ducer, and the Southern interests will
be promoted If the long staple cotton
OF the South is better enabled to COM
pete with the cotton raised by cheap
labor in Egypt. The theory of tariff
legislation, which has been practically
recognized, even by Democratic Con.
gress, is the development and growth
OF industries which share in the pro.
lection given by a properly adjusted
tariff.
Take the tariff on pig iron. Many
years ago there were but few furnaces
in the United States. Pig iron was
selling at $50 to 800 per ton, and we
were importing large quantities annu.
ally. The tariff was put on pig iron to
develop the iron industry, and as re-
suit we now have hundreds of furnaces
supplying our entire demand, with
competition between them which has
reduced the price to an average of
80 30 per ton, and which today enables
US to export large quantities to Europe.
With a climate and soil such as South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and por.
tions of Mississippi afford. there are no
reasons why excellent results may not
be reached in the production of long
staple cotton, and the test would have
been applied long ago but for the senti
mental folly of the South's representa-.
tives in Congress. In fact, it goes
without saying that the test would not
have been applied as to pig iron but for
the fact that the East and West were
largely interested in the manufacture
of pig iron, and yet when applied the
South, BY reason of its marvellous re
sources in coal, iron ore, etc, was one
of the greatest beneficiaries. A tariff
for revenue is obliged to furnish some
protection, and the South should have
its share of such protection.
The American is teetotally against
protection of any sort, and insists upon
tariff for revenue only when such
tariff is under existing conditions an
absolute impossbility. With the Ger
tainty of tariff legislation which will
afford protection staring it in the face,
the American would have the South
exclude from any of the benefits. 1t
would say to Congress: IF you will
presist in a protection policy, let the
North and East and West be the bene.
ficiaries, but the South will have none
of it. ."-Nashville Banner.

fine carriages were at the station as the
train drew up to carry Mr., Porter and
the persons who were with him to the
place of speaking Off at one side was
an old fashioned "carryall, with rag.
ged oilcloth curtains, wheels incrusted
with mud, presenting a sadly dilapi-
dated appearance. Mr.. Porter looked
beyond the carriages to his conveyance,
and his clear blue eye lighted with
pleasure as he recognized the driver,
who was a well known mossbacked
Democrat. why, George" said Mr..
Porter, extending his hand, "I'm glad
you re here. Gentlemen" turning to
the persons at the carriages, who were
awaiting him, never mind me. I'm

four grown sons, all Democrats, but

the handsome young man who could
mix with the plain people, and who
had ridden with dad to the place of
