WHY PROTECTION
WHEN THE AMERICAN MANUFAC-
TURER oUTRIvALs THE WORLD?

Atlanta Journal.
Ii is becoming clearer every day that
the only effect OF our protective tariff
on many articles Of necessity and
utility is TO enable the manufacturers
of such articles in this country, by
reason OF their immunity from foreign
competitor and their combinations
which throttle competition at home,
TO charge higher prices in the home
market than those at which they sell
their products in foreign markets.
These manufacturers have demon
strated their ability to undersel for
eign manufacturers OF their class in
markets which are much more distant
from them than from their competi-
tors. American manufacturers are
making enormous shipments of agri-
cultural machinery on orders from
Russia, the machinery to be used in
the Development of the vast wheat
fields Of Siberia. ~>
simultaneously there comes from
Philadelphia the news that the steam
er Crewe is that city taking on a cargo
Of mowers and reapers, aggregating a
freightage of some $685. tons, valued
at S250,0O0, and also ordered by Rus
sian firms for use in Siberia. Other
American shipments to Germany,
France and Russia are also mentioned
in detail.
The st. Louis Republic says that it
can no longer be doubted that 'the
American manufacturer is now more
than able to compete with his Euro.
pean rivals on their own territory.
He is underselling Englishmen in
England and Egypt, Germans 10 Ger
many and China, Russians in Russia
and Siberia, Frenchman in France
underselling all the rest of the world,
in fact, in the worlds markets.
"And he is doing this at profit
while selling his products in foreign
lands at less price than is paid by the
American buyer for the same goods.
He does this because the protective
tariff in this country enables him to
overcharge the American buyer with
no fear Of loss of trade through
competition. Under the shelter of this
protective tariff has been built up the
American trust system, for the fur
tler strengthening of monopoly in
American markets.
"Why not abolish the protective
tariff, relieve the American people
from its unjust tax, and at the same
time starve out those trusts fostered
by the tariff? What reason is there,
beyond the further enriching of the
syndicate, for its continuance"
Why the protective tariff?
Knock it out.

CHARTER AMENDED.
Meridian Herald,

Meridian Herald.
An important amendment to the
charter OF the Waynesb0ro, Pasca-
eOula and Gulf Coast Railroad Com
pany passed both houses of the Legis-
lature. This charter gives the COM
pany the right to make the southern
terminus at any point between Scran-
ton and Gulfport on the Mississippi
Sound. Either line would penetrate
through the finest pine timber region
in the South. DR.. j. r. S. Pitts, pres
ident of said company, has all the
money necessary to finance the entire
enterprise. A survey Of said land has
already been made. This road when
completed will develope one of the
finest sections of the State.

OFFICER WAS JOE WHEELER.

The Memphis Commercials. Appeal
says: When Jefferson Davis was being
conveyed to Fortress Monroe, Va,
where, as the world knows, he was in
carcerated for time, there were on
the vessel with him besides bis wife
and little child, the latter about one
and one-half years old-several young
Confederate officers who were being
carried North and who were allowed
the freedom OF the vessel. Mrs. Davis
was allowed no servant or nurse to at
tend herself or child, and the care of
the latter devolved on her alone. One
of the young officers in particular saw
and noted the crushing weight of
agnony depicted in the face Of the de-
voted wife and loving mother. Could
he not, then, at least, relieve her of
some Of the care which fell upon her?
Yes, he could do that, and he would
try. He passed to- the rear saloon Of
the vessel, and, with courtly grace
bowed low In the presence Of the no.
ble lady, and made known his mission.
The little child raised It's arms to
him, and he took II tenderly in his
own. The young officer paced the
deck and cabin floor with the child il
his arms, and much Of the time dur
Ing the entire voyage, amused 1t IL
every conceivable way.
That little prattling baby --tha
beautiful child--was Miss Winut
Davis, the loved Daughter Of tn
Confedcracy." The young ofticcr I
now Major General Joseph Wheeler.

An exchange prints the following
marriage ceremony, which was said by
u Tennessee Squire short time ago:
"Wilt thou take her for thy pard, for
better or for worse; to have, to hold,
to tondly guard till hauled of in
hearse? Wilt thou let her have her
way, consult her many wishes; make
the fire every day, and help her
wash the dishes? Wilt thou comfort
and support her father and mother,
Aunt Jemima and uncle John, three
sisters and a brother?" And his face
grew pale and blank; it was too late
to jilt; as through the floor he sank
he said: 81 wilt"

DEADLIEST POISONS KNOWN.
ARTICLES WHICH INSTANTLY KILL
HUMAN BEINGS WHO ABSORB THEM.

"a
HUMAN BEINGS WHO ABSORB THEM.
The diSc0verer Of prusSic acid was
instantly killed by inhalng one Whit
Of his own hadwork.
Pure prussic acid is never sold or
handled. The smell of it is always
fatal. 1t kills not in three minutes
or half an hour but the instant it en-
ters the lungs as gas. The mixture
ordinarily sold as prussic acid is 9S
parts water to 2 parts of the drug.
Even in this form it is very deadly.
A 20 per cent mixture of the acid
would kill nearly as quickly as if pure
Atropine, though it has no harmful
odor, is so deadly that as much of ii
as would adhere to the end Of a moist
ened foretinger would Instantly cause
death.
Cyanide of potassium has IA pleasant
smell, which is not injurious, but
small quantity kills at once.
Pure amonia, if inhaled, would
cause death almost as quickly as prus.
sic acid.
When a carboy of nitric acid is
broken someone has to suffer. 1t will
burn wood, eat through iron plates
and destroy what ever it touches.
Such an accident once happened in
an acid factory Everyone ran away
leaving the acid to amuse itself by
setting fire to things. Soon it was
seen that the building would be de-
stroyed and hundreds of people thrown
out of work, and four men volunteered
to put out the fire in the acid room.
They succeeded and came out feeling
all right. Five hours later all were
dead.

Have the readers Of newspapers
and their numbers are almost CO.
extenslye with the entire adult popu-
lation of the country-ever reflected
upon the fact that Notwithstanding
the enormous advance in the cost OF
paper, the subscription prices and ad-
vertising rates have not been cores
advanced? Every article Of
merchandise sold In the stores Is made
to promptly respond In price to every
shade of the general market, but the
man calmly goes on, pock'
citing his losses, and supplying his
customers at the old rates. Curious
isn't it asks the Pensacola News.

1t is your local paper that records
your births, publishes your deaths.
TO the forty cpage compediun OF the
happenings of the world you are not a
cipher. TO get the least notice from
them you must steal $4,000, commit
some atrocious crime or have dozen
living wives. But your local paper
watches over you with solicitude at
all times. If you are sick, it is sorry
and hopes you soon will get well; it
tells when you come and go, when
your house burns down and when you
build a new one: when John had the
mumps and Mary had the measles, and
how much Pete weighed when he ar
rived. Take the city paper II you are
interested in Africa, but If you want
the local news take the local pa
