The New York Tribune, and even some
of the southern newspapers, persist in
misunderstanding the position Of demo-
Gratis in the south who are now demanding
that some protection shall be given to cot
ton and lumber as well as rice and sugar.
| They are endeaYoring to have it under
| stood that these democrats have changed
| their position in respect to the tariff-that
they are demanding protection for articles
which they have here ofore insisted should
be put on the free list, and that they are
taking that position because they have
been converted to the principle of pro-
lection. They know they are not dealing
honestly with their readers. They are we'll
aware that these southern democrats are
demanding protection for certain southern
products because they are forced to do
SO for seIf-protection.
The Tribune, in it's Washington CORE
spondence, says: Readers of the Tribune
have been informed that the protection
sentiment i'm the south is steadily on the
increase. Sometimes it takes the form of
conversion to the republican party at
others the new adherents to the doctrine
go only half way, continuing in the demo-
cratic party, but advocating protection to
the raw materials of their section"
What are the facts? Why, that the
southern democrats who are advocating
protection TO certain southern products
still believe in a tariff for revenue, but
they ask for protection because the re-
publican party has practically forced them
of manufactured articles-artcles which
are purchased at the north, ana which are
sold at much higher prices than they
would be If they were not projected.
For instance, take the article of lumber.
Southern lumbermen are asking for
small duty on lumber not because they
believe in the principle of protection, but
because they must have higher prices for
their lumber in order to pay the higher
prices which they have to pay for pro-
tected articles which they must have in
manufacturing lumber What justice
is there in requiring them to pay pro-
lection prices for betting. machinery, rails
for their railroads. TOOLS ETC. and COM
polling them to sell their lumber in com
Canada? The same is true in respect to
sea island cotton. Bagging and cotton
ties are taxed heavily, and the cotton
farmer has to pay the tax. Why. then,
should he not have the same sort of pro-
lection for his cotton as is given to the
manufacturer of bagging and cotton ties?
If congress will take the tax off the
things which the southern people must
have, there will be very few, if any,
of them who will insist upon a pro-
tective tariff, but as long as the northern
manufacturers are able by means Of the
tariff to charge much higher prices for
the products of their factories-products
which the southern people must have
the southern people will be obliged to de
mand protection for their products. In
other words they are not, as already
stated, protectionists from principle but
in self-defense. II would tend to impover-
ish them to pay protection prices for their
supplies and sell their products at free
trade prices.

The Kiss in Court.
From Harper's Bazaar.

A lawyer met a pretty Miss
While he was walking out one day,
And stole from her a honeyed kiss
Which was not just the proper way.
At once "A case of tort was brought
Which legal rules could not deny;
The lawyer held no justice ought
SO frail a suit as that to try.
The action, when it got In court.
Met with a jury lenient,
And many a outlet and retort
Day after day on 1t was spent.
The lawyer claimed no maiden should
So much rare loneliness display;
A kiss like this he understood
Was flotsam on the states highway.
The maiden said her rosy lips
No easement were for him to use.
Though they all others might eclipse
Ills answer was somewhat abstruse.
And thus progressed the argument
Concerning kisser and kissee,
When to the jury Il was sent.
Who failed entirely to agree.
But, sent into their room again.
They gave their voice 10 the defense;
And found the girl in fault. fn~ nlain

1t seems reasonable for the bicycle riders
to expect that some attention shall be
given by the authorities to their convent
ence, not to say pleasure. There are sew
eral thousand bicycles in the city. A great
many of them are used for business pur-
poses. They are the vehicles of hundreds
Of clerks. mechanics and others. who live
in one section of the city and work in an
other. Yet, so far as can be recalled, not
a dollar has been expended for the espec-
ial benefit of the wheel riders. They have
been incidentally benefited, to be sure.
But no Improvement has been made that
would not have been made If there were
not bicycle in existence. The riders now
desire an outlet from the asphalted sec
? ton, ending at Castor street, to the
southwark. The wheels are compelled to
take the sidewalk at the park, and in
reaching the sidewalk all of them must
cross in a space probably two and half
feet wide. Pedestrians have also to use
the same crossing, which is therefore one
of constant danger, TO both riders and
walkers.

We find much to commend in what AL
derman Charlton said in respect to our
quarantine, in the few remarks he made
on that subject at the council meeting on
Wednesday night. We are driving ship
ping away from our port by our quaran-
tine methods. If we are not misinformed.
shipmasters and shipowners are more
inclined TO keep away from our port
than to seek it, simply because of the
reputation which our quarantine has.
And we are inclined to think that we gain
nothing in safety by our lack of liberali-
ty in our quarantine methods.
1t is said that our quarantine regula-
tons are the same as those at Charles
ton and Brunswick. but somehow or
other we do not hear so much complaint
of the quarantine at those ports as we
do of the quarantine at this port.
We do not believe in doing away with
quarantine, but we do think that Il could
made less Objectionable and less burden
some to shipping than it appears to be.
While making our quarantine effective,
and yet less burdensome than 1t is, we
should put forth every effort to drain the
wet lands around the city. We have al
ways had a firm belief in good drainage.
Remove the swamps and we shall not
have much reason to apprehend sickness
from fevers. While quarantine is neces-
sary, we believe the county commission
ers can do more to protect the city
against disease than can be done by
means of quarantine. Drain the country
around the city thoroughly and fever
germs would find 1t difficult to thrive
within the city's limits.

1t seems that now would be a good
time for congress to pass the anti-scalp-
ing bill. The supreme court says the
railroads may not enter into associa tions
for mutual protection. lest they restrain
trade and commerce. The scalpers should
not be permitted TO form associations, or
to operate Offices, for the purpose of keep
ing the railroads out Of their honest
dues 1t is understood that Senator Cul-
lom will endeavor to have the bill con-
sidered during the extra session. The
passage of the bill would materially as
sist the roads in readjusting their busl-
ness after the arrangement occasioned by
the supreme courts decision.

The Herald has telegram detailing
how the people of the village of IztIan.
Mexico prevented the spread of small
pox, which appeared there short time
ago. The first person to take the disease
was the mayor. His neighbors went to
his house, murdered him. and burned his
house, clothing and body together. There
was no spread of the disease. When the
authorities tried TO punish somebody for
the murder and arson. no witnesses could
be obtained.

Chairman Dingley admits that he Is a
stakeholder in a wool manufacturing mill
at Lewiston, but says he has never made
any money out OF it,, and he does not
know if the managers of the concern have
made arrangements to profit by an in
crease In the price of wool under the new
tariff bill by laying in large stock Of
wool before the bill becomes law. The
chairman's mill interests, however do not
increase or mitigate in any degree the ini-
guilty OF the proposed tariff.

Speaking of the taking Of books from
the free list and making them dutiable.
Chairman Dingley said to a correspondent
Of the New York Evening Post: Suppose
we we're to exclude from the dutiable list
certain classes. like scientific works: who
Is TO decide whether a book Is scientific
or not?' The purpose Of the paragraph.
therefore. 1t would seem, is TO relieve the
clerical forces at the custom house. A
clerk might not know precisely what TO
do II there WAS a question as to whether
q book was scientific or not. But 81 he
were ordered TO clap a duty OF 50 per cent.
or more upon everything in sight. he
would not have 20 hesitate minute to
know what to do in the matter Of sny
book.

The Antitrust Decision.

without going into the merits Of the
arguments on either side, It Is evident
that law which is so uncertain that the
supreme court Of the United States is al
most equally divided as to it's interpreta-
tion cannot be entirely satisfactory. The
vote OF 3 to by which the antitrust law
was sustained. reversing the decision of
the lower court. may Itself be reversed at
a subsequent hearing of this or a similar
case, as has happened frequently in the
history OF the supreme court. II congress-
wishes the law to stand free from doubt
and danger II should amend IL in such a
way as to clear up all points on which the
opinions Of the Judges show uncertainty.
and to preclude vexatious litigation on IL
in future.

The Democratic Policy.


Why should Mr.. Bailey lament the in
ability of the minority, through lack Of
time, to prepare a substitute bill? There
is no need of a substitute for the Ding
ley bill. The democratic policy can be
stated in two sentences, both short:
Let the tariff alone.
Reduce expenditures.
The Wilson tariff will support the gov
eminent, economically administered, and
there is cash enough in the treasury TO
pay the bills until congress, by cutting
down expenses. can make both ends meet.

a To stamp 50 cents worth OF silver

CD TO tax all the necessaries-food, fuel

will have to pay dollar for what they
can now get for so cents.
Does Mr.. Dingley think that the people

trust because they wanted the 5O-cent dol
