IFTnEY HAD THEII, WAY.

The Providence Journal Is inclined 20
the opinion that IL the gentlemen who
are now appearing before the ways and
means committee had their way there
would be no foreign goods imported at
ALL And then we should have TO pay to
the government $3.50 900. coo or more in
new taxes. in addition to our present
tribute to the protected producers. and
1t is right.
The fact is IL these gentlemen had
their say, measures would be so shaped
as to give them control of the entire
business of the country. The burden of
taxation would be escaped by them. and
the condition of the people, however dis
tressing. would give them little If any
concern. However. It is to be hoped tina,
they will be thwarted in their schemes
and that If we are TO have a new tariff
that it will be one adjusted with that de
gree of equity, as will tighten the bur
den of the masses as much as possible.

LEARNING THE LESSON OF LIVING
AT HOME.

The Montgomery Advertiser rejoices
that the Alabama farmers are learning
the lesson of living at home, and ex-
presses the hope that In the year of
1897 not one pound OF meat or one bushel
OF corn will have to be bought outside
OF the State. In other words our con-
temporary thinks that the farmers of
its State should raise everything they
need for home consumption and stop
buying from abroad, and it is right. The
same course should be adopted
throughout the South.
What sense or reason Is there in the
farmers of the South buying meat,
corn. meal and many other articles
needed for home consumption from out
slders, when they can raise at little cost
what they need at home and of a bet
ter article?
Let the farmers of the South diversity
their crops. raise what they need for
home consumption and independence
will follow.

The Savannah News comes forward
with the statement that the consensus

needs of the South are self-confidence.
less politics, stringent enforcement of
the law and good roads. and there is
no question that IL our contemporary
suggestions were adopted that grea.
good would result thcrefrom.
There is no denying the fact that the
South needs good roads, and that there
should always be a strict enforcement Of
the laws. /: is equally true self-contl-
dcnce is Il good thing 10 cultivate and
that there Is too much politics in the

THE Amnon PLATE nonnEn,.,

There are great many people in this
country who have concluded that the
methods persued by the Carnegie and
Bethlehem Steel companies in the mat
ter of furnishing armor for our navy
has been but IL system Of robbery, pure
and simple.
Secretary Herbert's investigation of
the cost of manufacturing steel armor
plates, to say the least. has put both
companies in bad light. The investi-
cation developed the fact that the COM
panies had been charging the Govern
ment a price far above the value of the
armor. and that In n number of cases
imperfect plates had been fostered upon
the country, even though fancy prices
had been charged for them.
1t also developed that the two estab-
lshments had made a combination to
force the Government to pay Il price
which could have been reduced one
third. and still left them n profit of
something like $3.50 per ton. The Sec
retary's report on the matter is an In
teresting document and shows conclu-
sively that the Government has been
the victim of robbery throughout by
these people. and Congress should act
upon II with promptness.

PROsPERITYIx vIRGISIA.

The Baltimore American of yesterday
contains an interesting article on Pros
perity in Virginia" and speaks thus
kindly OF the old State:
ut Is n pleasure to note the ia
vorable reports that are coming in
regarding the condition of business
In all parts of the Old Dominion.
Virginia is one of Maryland's near
est neighbors. and many of her inter
ests are very closely allied to the in
terests OF the people of this State.
Reports that have just been received
4 from twenty of the largest towns in
virginia show unusual activity in
building and the projection OF many
new enterprises. In the Flat Top
and Pocahontas coal region there is
tremendous revival of the coking
interests, hundreds of ovens have
been erected since the election. and
other hundreds are being built Sew
eral iron furnaces. long idle and In
litigation. have changed hands, and
are preparing to go into blast. Sim
liar Improvement is reported from
the great trucking section Of the
State, and there is an activity
awakened in dealings in farms and
agricultural real estate.
All this Is good news. Virginia
suffered sadly from the boom era,
but she Is pulling through all night"
Virginia is looking up: in fact, she /,
right along the road of pros
perity. and while we know this ourselves
it is gratifying to know also that our
condition Is the subject of favorable
comment by outside friends, of which
the above is an example.

AN OPINION FROM AN IMPARTIAL
SOURCE.

The correspondent OF the London
Times. at Havana. who is regarded as
reliable In every particular, says that
General Weyler's operations in Pinar del
Rio have resulted in nothing except the
occupation of belt of country imme-
diately adjoining the Western railway
from Artemisa to the small town of
Palacios. a total length of some forty
miles. and covering 4 breadth OF about
three miles. To hold this insignificant
bit of the great island he has been
obliged to use 10000 troops-that Is to
say all those not urgently needed for
garrison duty elsewhere. ITO occupy
in similar manner the remainder of the
province" says the correspondent. will
under present methods call for at least
another 100000 men. No such additional
force Is available here or In Spain for
the undertaking, and it follows, there
fore, that General Weyler must devise
other means to gain his ends or ac-
knowledge partial if not complete fail
ure." This is, no doubt, q correct view
OF the situation in Cuba, and the opin-
ion, even in Spain. is that General Wcy-
ler's campaigns in the island have been
failures from the start.

Free Cure For Men.
A MICHIGAN MAN OFFERS TO
SEND HIS DISCOVERY FREE.
Slams to be Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.

Stains to be y BenefactOr to Weakened
Mankind.
There is always more or less suspicion
attached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes man so overhOws with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
discovery is known TO the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
ne has discovered 1t is upon this princi-
pie that a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind a pre-
scriptiOn which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves them OF
all the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
he organs to natural size and vigOr. As
Il costs nothing to try the experiment it
would seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
deeply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
yigOr. without which they continue to
live an existence of untold misery. AS
the remedy in question was the result Of
many years research as to what comb
nation would be peculiarly effective in
restoring 70 men the strength they neei,
1t would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought TO
write for such remedy at once. A re-
quest to Fl. @. Olds, Box 1922, Kala-
mazoo, Michigan, stating that you are
not sending for the prescription out of
idle curiosity, but that you wish to make
use OF the medicine by giving it a trial,
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where information came
from.
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
cap afford to give away his discovery.
there is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Cut this out and send to Mr..
Odds that he may know how you came to
write him.
