The Forrest City times., 1897-07-09

New England is much concerned about free hides. Some of her biggest industries, especially that of boots and shoes, have been built up during our quarter of a century of free hides. She now sells boots and shoes in all parts of the world. Taxed hides would cripple this and other industries. Her leading senators pretend to represent her and to put up fight for free hides. In real- ity, if necessary, they will sacrifice free hides to obtain high duties on sugar with plenty of margin for trust prof. it's. Just why this is so should be a matter for senatorial investigation, if such investigation would only inyesti- gate. Fortunately for the sugar trust, but unfortunately for the rest of us 70,000,000 people, the sugar trust un- derstands well the art of making friends where they will do the most good. It has able attorneys to advise it how to distribute its sweets to politicians and lawmakers and at the same time to steer clear of jails.
 In this way and in this way only can we account for the attitude of not few prominent tariff makers at Washing ton. The situation is interesting-de- cidedly so.

 The following item from the Spring River News shows what Arkansas can do in the wheat rais- ing industry:
 "Filmore Sloan this week thresh. ed out 400 bushels of wheat off of eighteen acres of land, after pas. turing the tract during the entire winter with 150 head of cattle. There is nothing the matter with this section of country when it comes to raising wheat"
 The Times has often urged the planters of thts section to raise wheat. They could easily raise their own bread, at least, and should do so, and thus save thous- ands of dollars annually. Should they do so, there would no doubt be q ready market for the wheat, or a roller mill erected here where 1t could be made into flour. The experiment is we'll worth trying.
The Forrest City times., 1897-07-09
Republican Criticism.

According to the protective theory the imposition of tax on noncompetine articles adds to their cost to the con. sumer. This theory would be aptly ex, emplified in the proposed duties on hides, as the people would be compelled to pay more for their footwear. T. is estimated that the increased cost of boots and shoes for one year under the proposed duty would amount 10 S20,. 100000. With free hides our Inanalac. turers of leather goods have been able to build up great export trade in foot. wear. As MT. Blaine said when i : was proposed to put a duty on hides in the law of 1890: Tt will yield a profit tc the butcher only-the last man .ha. needs it." The interests Of the tennc-s and shoe manufacturers are vastly ncre important than the interests Of butch. CTS and western ranchmen.-Chicarc Timss-Herald (Rep).

Manufacturers Against Tariff Bfil.

One of the most striking indications of the growth of sentiment against high protection and of liberal sentiment upon tariff matters is the movement against the pending tariff bill by the Manufacturers Association of the United States. MT. A. B. Farquhar, an extensive manufacturer of agricultural machinery at York, Pa, is at the head of the movement.
 It is well known that in the manu- lecture of agricultural implements and machinery Americans are far in advance of their competitors in any other land and that the products of their factories may be seen in the fields all over the civilized world. Those people need no protection and are we'll able to take care of themselves. All they ask is to have untaxed raw material, so that they will not be placed at disadvantage.
 A great list of other industries are practically in the same position and de- sire free raw material more than they desire protection. It is also significant that the manufacturers, in their peti- Ition to the senate, declare that their ability to employ American labor will be greatly impaired by the passage of the tariff bill. They ask that the Chi nese wall that is obstructing the foreign trade and crippling American enter prise shall be broken down.
 The plea which has been used for years by the ctionists-namely, that protection is in the interest of American labor-is shown by census figures to be a sham. Of the 5000, ,000 persons employed in manufacturing in the United States it is shown in the'pe- tition that less than 200,0 ,000 are en- ployed in occupations subject to active foreign competition and 616,o0o in occupations subject to moderate for eign competition. The remainder. over 4,000,000, do not come at all in compe- tition with foreign labor.
 It is very plain that the Dingley bill is not designed, any more than any oth- CT high protective measure was de- signed, to protect American labor or to produce revenues for the government. It is designed primarily to protect the trusts and to foster monopoly.-Balti- more Sun.

The Supreme Court of Arkansas

The supreme Court of Arkansas handed down the following among other decisions, Saturday:
 3l77. Memphis Land and Tim. Der Company vs. Board of-Direc- tors of St. Francis Levee District, ct al; appeal from Mississippi chan. cery court; judgment affi medr.
 31S0. Thomas II. Milburn, ct. al., vs. St. Francis Levee District, ct al; appeal from Mississippi chan. cery court; judgment affirmed.
 33O9. Memphis Land and Tim. Der company, ct al. vs. ". R. Ken. drick, collector, ct al; appeal from St. Francis chancery court; judg- ment affirmed.
 These are the suits for taxes due the St. Francis Levee Board, and involve some S60,000. It is be- lleved by many that very little of this sum will be paid, and that the delinquents will let their land be sold for the taxes due. The deci- sion is quite victory for theLeyce Board and is considered final.

A strong effort is being made to secure the pardon of H. Clay King, who killed David 1T. Poston in Memphis six years ago. Many old Confederate comrades and nume er- ons friends hope the Governor will give the matter his favorable con sideration, thinking the punish ment has already been great enough.

The following complimentar notice of our senior United States Senator IS taken from the Referen. dunn, a newspaper published at the Capital, and we heartily endorse it.:
 "Mr. Bryan IS the logical demo- cratic candidate for pres ident in 1900 and Senator Jones is equally the loglcal candidate for vice presi. dent. He is equally a true Amer ican, a patriot and a man whom the democrats of the country feel tb at they can trust Mr. Jones is emi- nently a statesman. He is calm and dignlfied, cool and deliberate. polite yet firm. Ifanything should happen to take MT. Bryan out of the race, then Mir. Jones will be the logical candidate for president. II e has the mental ability 10 fill the place and the physical endurance to stand the straln."

The drowning of four young per. sons in the Arkansas river at Lit. tie Rock Monday night, while they wero participating in the festivities of the free bridge celebration, was a sad ending to what would other wise have been grand and glo- rious Fourth of July to Littlerock. ians. Two of these young people were engaged and were out upon the river for pleasure, when their trail bark was wrecked by contact with barge, with results as stated. The bodles were all recovered. together with that of another man who had drowned 2 few hours pre-. vious.

steps into his shoes and repeats the operation. The moro free aids extended to the young man in his short period of preparation, the greater the temptation to teach for season ani get a little money ahead 10 start on.
 The News would like to see the standard of the public school teacher raised. It would like to sec young men and young women notified that they must go through years of hard work and thorough preparation at their own expense and by their own exertions before they will be allowed to teach the children of Arkausas-so many years and such hard work that no young man or no young woman could afford to go through this probationary period who dld not propose to make teaching his life work.
 Require that our teachers shall be efficient and well equipped in every way for their work. The teachers who are efficient and who purpose devoting the talent and energy of their lives to the work :, ought 10 demand as a protection 10 themselves that the work of pre- paration be made harder and the time longer, that no free gifts be extended as temptation to the ephemeral teacher, and thus rid themselves of a competition that lowers their profession and com pels them to work on a salary that is ample and liberal for the ineom- petent or mediocre teacher, but which is certainly not in propor- tion to the time, money and labor they have expended in fitting them selves to be true teachers, and the actual daily work that is done by every teacher who realizes his du. ty and lives up to it.
 Let us have public school sys. tenn run for the benefit of our chil- dren, and not of the teachers, and we will have better teachers and better results in the school room.
 In conclusion, the News desires to say to it's many young friends who are doing what we have com plained of above-using teaching as a stepping stone to higher work that 1t does not find fault with them. But to parents and patrons of our schools, to the toiling men and women who pay the s20,000 appropriation for these normals and pay the teach er's salary while he is attending the farce institute, there is. we believe, food for sober thought and effective action in the above. Ponder it well.

The tariff bill, upon which Con- gress has spent many weary weeks. has been finally agreed upon. And now, according 10 political prog nostications, an era of prosperity is about to dawn upon long suffer ing people. But The Times advlses its friends to get out and hustle for a livelihood, instead of placing too much dependence upon the admin istration. A little application is worth more than a whole lot of la riff bills.
