Not so i'm the TarritOry- where
we see all sizes laboring in tue
cotton fields. Another error
too frequently fallen into is that
tn tariff increases the price
plus the difference foreign
goods are sold and our own
prices. Now although l laid
Jim Huckaby out dead still |
think his son would protest
against that suit of clothes cost
ing double what he could buy il
in England for, the naked fact
being that there would be a
difference of about 30 cents in
$40. In 1890 no tin was mar
ufactured here, a tariff was
placed on it and as soon as the
infant began to waddle, tin took
a tumble and sold for $1.21 less
a box than under free trade, on
castor oil the tariff was $1.20 a
gallon but it could be bought in
our markets for 90 cents and so
on with thousands of other ar
ticles. Instead of increasing
the prices the sharp competi-
ton at home stimulated by the
tariff tends to reduce them and
thus the foreign manufacturers
are not making the great for
tunes they did off us on the free
trade system. So l believe a
wise tariff honestly collected
aud a government economically
administered under il gives to
our people the greatest good to

TIVE HULL IN RIBBONS.

New York, Feb. 21.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
The Maine's hull is actually in rib
bons, but enough of the vessel re-
mains to determine whether the ex-
plosion came from without or from
within. The officers do not publicly
discuss the theory of a submarine
mine which may have been set of
by explosion, but it evidently has
weight with them.

REDFIELD ON THe TARIFF.
Editor ARDMoREITE:

| Orleny 10 some OF Judge Il ui-
mans views on the tariff III
your issue of the 18th inst. AT
ter lengthy preamble he lays
down the general proposition,
to which l heartily agree, viz:
1T is one of the first duties of
the government to encourage,
foster and protect labor, but
the government should have No
favorites and know no classes, 5"
but l must dissent from the d.,
ductlons he tries to show, which
is that protective tariff favors
certain classes of limited num-
bers to the detriment of th'
great majority. We all agree
that the greatest good to the
greatest number should be the
great objects of our mutual wei
fare. Is the protective tariff OF
as Henry Clay proclaimed ii
the American system subser-
wise of this rulei The tranquil
Iity and satisfaction of our gov
ernment is founded upon the
great masses of the plain peo-
Pile and not on disturbing poll
ticians. Any system that adj
vances their interests should be
approved and commended.
Now then. All parties from
the foundation of our govern
ment cc ncede that the only way
to raise money on which to con-
duct the lawful affairs of our
government must be by inter
nal taxes. taxes on imports and
not by a direct tax on the peo-
pie that being conceded the
question arises, what shall we
taxi | approve the law that
places a tax on malt liquors
and tobacco and known as the
internal revenue. On imports

articles sufficient to give our
own toiling masses work as
against the pauper labor of for
eign countries, and | uelieve
the latest statistics will show
that the tariff known as the
Dingley bill in connection with
sound money has been largely
instrumental in causing the
general revival of business
which we have witnessed dur
ing the past twelve months.
Instead of the gloomy view tax
en- by Judge Furman of reduc-
ton of wages and which he
says are only 10 per cent above
wages in Europe, and since in
the cotton mills wages have
been reduced 10 per cent plac-
ing them on the same wages as
paid in foreign countries.
would like to explain that at
the annual meeting of the Mas
sachusetts cotton mills Feb. 10,
owing to the great depression
that particular industry was
under it would be necessary fo1
them to reduce wages or close
down for the reason that the
new south was producing goods
equally as good at less cost on
account of paying less wages
and working longer hours. and
while some have already moved
south others are contemplating
doing so. The stock holders
only realize about 3 I er cent on
their investment. The rate oi
wages instead of being only 1C
per cent higher in this country
than in Europe the labor bu-
reau estimates as between &C
and 80 and it is such an attrac
ton to foreigners that we have
found it necessary to pass a
very stringent emigration bill.
But now turn to the bright side
of the new era under the tariff
bill compared with the demo
cratic Wilson bill and we see in
