The South and the Tariff.

The Macon Telegraph, arguing in
favor Of the cotton tariff duty, insists
that the duty sis based upon common
sense and sound business principles"
Says the Telegraph:
The fact the number of long staple
growers is comparatively small, has
nothing to do with the case. Protec-
ton is the rule of the day. 1t is not
the time to discuss the relative merits
OF the protective, the tariff for revenue
or the tariff for revenue only theories.
We may change things in 1900, but to.
day Congress is moving on protection
lines. This, that and the other inter-
est is being favored. No good reason
can be given. the raising of revenue
being the object, why the long staple
growers should not be accorded their
due in the neme of all that ia equitable,
The idea that any hardships will be in
fiicted upon Southern consumers is
absurd, for the price of q spool of
thread into which long staple cotton
enters is today the same as when the
long staple was worth 80 cents a pound.
Common justice now demands that
long staple growers shall be put upon
the same basis as the hide rails ers''
and the wool growers" 1t is a ques-
ton of equity and fair dealing and
business sense. The only tariff ques.
ton" before the country at this time is
the question of the impartial distribu.
ton of governmental favors.
There is no reason why, under any
given governmental policy, the South
should not have its share of any special
benefits to come from that policy.
Congress is engaged in passing a tariff
measure which will progressedly give
some protection to a list of products
upon which import duties are imposed.
If this does not benefit the American
interests affected there is no ground fol-
the political opposition to protection.
If it does confer some benefits, then
the South should not refuse to share
them simply to cater to a sentiment.
1t would be like cutting of ones nose
to spite his face to reject benefits under
a tariff law which can not be defeated
by such rejection, simply because the
law does not coincide with an alleged
party theory.-Nsshville Banner.

The Way to Laugh.

A serious trick which mars faces is
screwing up the eyes to laugh. So
many women laugh at nothing, out of
good fellowship, when they meet, as if
c~ivility were a siries of tee.heeing that
their eyes grow smaller for 1t, and
gather fine wrinkles that are wholly
unnecessary. In the laughter loving
Phoenician faces of the Metropolitan
Museum collection you will see a peo-
pie who knew how to laugh. Their eyes
are full and large with laughter, not
wrinkled till almost shut with idiotic
tittering. The comprehension of a
really good joke or comic behavior ex.
pands the eye and floats it large with
laughter, which" is the gift of the gods,
aud belongs to the intelligences among
men.-Shirely Dare in Chicago Record.
