PROTECTION IN THE SOUTH.

The debate in the Senate, on Tuesday,
over the tariff, by Southern Senators. dis
closed the fact that the Democratic party
in that section is divided upon that ques-
ton. Senator Vest is not a man to change
an opinion. He entered the Senate years
ago free-trader, and free-trader he will
remain to the end. Others may see that
disaster has followed the attempt to es-
tablish a tariff based upon the theory of
free trade, but Mr.. Vest will continue to
ignore facts ard experience Senator
Bacon has but recently entered the Senate,
consequently it is fair to assume that he
has better idea of the opinions of the
South regarding the tariff than has Mr..
Vest. While he does not claim to be a
protectionist, Senator Bacon does propose
that his State shall derive some of the ad
vantages of protection when they are being
parceled out. Mr.. Bacon and other Sena-
tors who are supporting certain sections of
the tariff bill have taken occasion to de-
nounce the free raw material theory of the
Wilson tariff bill, which Mr.. Cleveland so
vehemently advocated. These Southern
Democratic senators have declared against
the fundamental doctrine of the Demo-
cratic platform by asserting that it is as
much the duty of Congress to protect
so-called raw material from foreign COM
petition as it is a finished product.
The action of the Senate in imposing
duty on cotton is defensible because, while
it will not enhance the price of any grade
of cotton materially, it will give the mar
ket at home to the growers of that special
quality of cotton which is now largely i'm
ported but is produced and can be pro-
duced in ample quantities to supply the
American demand. 1t is evident that such
senators as Mr. Bacon, who resides in
state for which the protection of the iron
industry has done so much during the past
twenty years, will not follow Mr.. Vest.
The votes in the Senate of the past two
weeks have made it quite clear that the
policy OF protection was never so much
in favor throughout the whole. country as
at the present time. Senators who de-
clare that they are not protectionists on
general principles show by their votes that
they are in favor of the protection of local
IuuSITleS ne COulIl CstIl no lOllSGl NC LclA-
lied in favor of tariff policy which will
deprive the industries of that secton<Of in
cidental protection. There will be the
usual protests by those who still study the
free trade textbooks which they have ac-
cepted as infallible but there is good rea-
son to believe that when the tariff bill
at which Congress is now at work shall be-
49,
dent, twenty years will pass before a gen.
eral revision will again be attempted, and
then not in the direction of free trade.

THE STAMP TAX.

The statement that the Senate finance
committee has under consideration the
adoption of a bank-check stamp tax will
be received with surprise by the country at
large. There is no reason for going back
to a system which was odious, especially
when there is no patriotic demand for it,
If the Republican senators hesitate TO in
crease the tax on beer because it may be
unpopular, they may well hesitate before
imposing a tax on every check which
person who keeps a small bank account
must pay in order TO avail himself of his
deposits. With the exception of those who
have no money and those who would keep
money out of banks, where it is available
for business no one viii favor a bank
check tax. 1t is tax for the imposition of
which there can be no justification, since
the money which is taxed by such a stamp
has already been taxed in merchandise. 1t

vexation to hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie who will feel that they have been
singled out for taxation simply that the

CHICAGO, June 9.--The Millers National
Association which has members in twenty
two States and represents a yearly output
of 80. 600 barrels a day, held its annual meet
ing here to-day with fair attendance Re-
firing president A. c. Pillsbury of Mime
apolis, in an address, said that through the
efforts of the executive committee boiling
cloth had been put on the free list OF the
new tariff BILL and 1t was hoped to have re-
stored the drawback on buraps. The chier
work. however, he said, was in the direction
of having the tariff measure give the prln--
cipla of reciprocity the recognition that "
deserved so that the United states could
advance its trade with foreign countries
and the Touring trade be greatly benented.

ton had allied Itself with the National

The Republicans of Illinois reelected four
of the five judges of the Supreme Court
voted for on Monday, and the Democrats
one. In Chicago the result is regarded by
several papers as a decided victory for the
Republicans, because Mayor Harrison made
an appeal to the Democrats to come out
and vote, since all the patronage of the
park system, involving the employment of
nearly five thousand men, depended uron
the political complexion of the judges
elected. In spite of this the Democratic
part of the ticket was defeated by decided
vote. and the old bench of Republicans
and Democrats nominated by the Repub-
licans was elected.

Those men who met in Chicago on Tues
day under the name of silver Republicans
are not Republicans. Several of those who
led in the meeting, including Dubois and
Towne, walked out of the last Republican
convention and made their way into the
camp Of the enemy. 1t is a matter of his
tory that in Washington they conspired
with number of Southern Democratic SEN
ators to do this and to nominate one of their
number as the Democratic candidate for
President. In the last they failed because
gelds, whose real favorite from the first
was Bryan. During the campaign they
fought the Republican candidates in every
State. Mr.. Towne ran for Congress against
the regular Republican candidate. They
all voted the Democratic ticket for Presi-
dent, and they are now in full accord with
those who adhere to the Chicago platform.
Now, any man who Endorsed the Chicago
platform cannot be Republican. Every
plank is hostile to the traditions and opin-
ions of the Republican party Therefore,
the men who supported the Chicago plat
form last year and declare for it now are
not Republicans. They may be PopuliSts,
modern Democrats, or Popocrats. but they
are not Republicans. When they advertise
themselves as silver Republicans they per-
petrate a fraud. There is no such an anom-
ally in politics as man who voted for Bry-
an last year being a Republican of any
kind. Let those men be honest and carry
the colors under which they fought Repub
lcanism last year. It might be a strange
sensation to them to attempt to be honest.

The eolloquy in the Senate on Tuesday
between Populist Allen and the Democratic
Chiffon, of Texas, was both interesting and
instructive, Mr.. Allen began by advising
the Democrats to go into caucus and take
such action as would enable them to line
up" for or against certain paragraphs of
the tariff bin instead of struggling. Mr..
Chiffon did not deny the struggling, but he
simply retorted that the Populists were
doing no better. Mr.. Allen was unwise
enough to call for the names of Populists
who were voting with the Republicans. and
Mr.. Chiffon gave them. The Populists
never had a tariff policy. but the Demo-
Gratis have. and now a goodly number in
the Senate have renounced 1t.

Ex-Governor Boies, of Iowa, who was at

In that article he advocates a scheme of

may take either metal to the treasury and
receive in exchange therefor certificates to
