Two Frogs In Her Stomach.

that often she does not know where the

are still used for jumping purposes.

The effect OF the new tariff law on the
business interests OF the country win be
watched with intense interest. The repub-
! hcan leaders have contended all along that
a high protective tariff would bring about
a revival of business. We have now a
high protective tariff, the effect of which
viii soon be apparent. If it fails to bring
| prosperity there viii be bitter disappomt-
ment, not only in the ranks of the repub-
lican party but throughout the country.
For our part we do not see how high
duties and consequently higher prices for
manufactured articles are going to bring
prosperity With the exception OF a very
few articles we already control the home
market, and the higher prices which man.
ufacturers will demand will not yield them
much greater profits. because they viii
have to pay higher prices for raw mate
rails Our manufacturers produce great
deal more than is demanded by the home
market, and what they need is a foreign
market. They cannot find that if the cost
of their products is greater than the cost
of the products OF manufacturers of those
countries with which they compete. 1t is
a fact that our exports Of Manufactured
goods were far greater under the Wilson
tariff than they were under any
high protective tariff. If our manufactur-
ers are confined to the home market, as
they probably will be under the tariff law
which has just been enacted. there viii
be such an accumulation Of products that
mills will have to close or prices OF pro-
ducts be cut down below the profit line.
Cheaper production might be brought
about by cutting down the wages of mill
operatives, but reducing wages means
strikes and lockouts and other troubles.
What we want is prosperity, and We
shall be graufed if the new tariff law
brings it, but we see no reason for think
ing that such result will follow.
When the extra session of congress was
called we said that the currency question
was the one that was troubling this coun-
try not the tariff and that the sooner
that question was settled the sooner pros
perity would come We still hold that
opinion Restore confidence in the curren-
cy, make it certain that our money is to
remain sound and safe-as good as the
best in the world-and give us tariff that
would permit our manufacturers to com
pete successfully in all the markets Of the
world and we shall have prosperity.
The republicans believe in a sound cur
rency, or at least pretend TO- but they have
put off the settlement of the currency
question. In doing so they have made
fatal mistake Tne longer they put it off
the more trouble they VIII have in set
ting il.

Hanson's influence.

1t is quite generally conceded that Maj
| Hanson has a great deal of influence with
the President in the matter of federal APP
Z pointments in this state. but he had not
sufficient influence 90 prevent the appoint
ment of Henry A. Rucker, a eolored re-
| publican to the position of collector of
internal revenue. Inc understanding is
that Mai. Hanson is undertaking to build
up a white republican party in Georgia
and. apparently, he had almost persuaded
| the President that he would succeed, pro-
vided his advice were followed in distribut-
ing the federal patronage in the state.
There is no doubt that there are some
white men in Georgia who would follow
Mai. Hanson into the republican party if
that party We're known as a white mans
party, but what would the national repub-
lcan party gain by having white mans
party in Georgia. if it could not control
the negro vote?
The President is doubtless satisfied that
it would require many years for white
republican party to become the majority
party in Georgia, if. in fact it would ever
become so, and he is not disposed there
fore to let so the hold which the republi-
can party has upon the negro vote. The
refusal of the Postmaster General to APP
point coored men postmasters in COM
! munities hostile 10 them on account of
their color led many to believe that the
administration had determined to make
an effort to build up white republican
party in the south but the appointment
of Rucker makes 1t clear that it has no
such purpose. The negroes are TO have a
share OF the spoils of office. but IL is prob
able that the policy of the Postmaster Gen
eral relative 20 the appointment of colored
men as postmasters will be adhered TO-
Public sentiment in the south will not be
antagoni2ed any further than is abso-
lutely necessary to keep the negro voters
In the republican party. but Il is plain
that the President doesn't intend that the
negroes shall have a valid excuse for leav>
ing that party. The appointment OF Ruck-
er. will, there are reasons for thlnkine
be followed by the appointment of other
colored men to federal offices in this state
and those who have been working to
build up white republican party are GER
