UNCLE SAM HOwLISG OVER THE
chinese TARIFF.

The Messenger looks for retaliation
against the United States because Of
their arbaric high robber tariff. Such
retaliation would be just. Why shall
not Europe strike back visited
with injustice? We expect to read of
a retaliation tariff val before a e a
elapses unless the republicans turn
about and cut down their oppressive
MONSTER monster that ron the
| people of other countries while oppress-
ing and robbing greatly the people at
home. 1t is said hat in 1903. most of
the commercial treaties with foreign
nations will terminate. The New York
Journal says:
Nc thoughtful mar can fail to OBJ
serve the startling signs of an ap-
preaching war of retaliatory tariff by
combined Europe against the United
States. Notwithstanding the obvious
peril of the situation, the high protec-
tionists of the United State jeer at
all prophets of evil and jauntily declare
that the governments OF Europe can
not afford to levy destructive duties
upon our manufactured goods, because
they would thus deprive the subjects
or citizens of h right to buy in the
best n cheapest market"
The latest we have seen is mentioned
of the course of China. That country
to raise money to pay the heavy de-
mands of the powers, will pro
make a decided increase in the taxes
upon foreign products. This will hurt
Uncle Sam and John Bull and they

u says. and remember that Great
Britain is a free trade country: THE
American people are building up a
trade with China, which the Washing
ton government desires to increase.
The powers have assessed an indem-
nifty amounting to 1897, 900, 900 against
the Chinese government, and the latter
proposes to get money to pay a part of
the damages by increased customs du-
ties. Our government sternly refuses
to sanction this plan" So it will be
quite natural and reasonable for Great
Britain with but ten or twelve articles
in it's schedule of taxes on foreign pro-
ducts, to object to the proposed increase
in the height of the Chinese Wall"
But as the United States have a
thousand OF more articles taxed in their
tariff b~arbed-wire arrangement. it looks
ridiculous for them to object to any
thing China may be pleased tc
order to raise the indemnity money
forced upon her. There is not a fair
minded, just man on the globe who
will "a that China is wrong. The
poisoned chalice with the same ingre-
dience to be force to the lips of sturdy
and greedy Uncle Sam.

REMARKABLE CONTEST IN SOUTH
CAROLINA.

AS was to have been anticipated, the
press generally have much about the
Tillman-McLaurin designations and
what is thought win follow. The gov
ernor can appoint two senators, if he
SO wills, to succeed these resigned n
tors. but he will hardly do this under
the extraordinary circumstances. If he
Ices not there is scarcely a doubt that
Tillman viii be easily elected. There
will be a great battle waged and high
excitement, but the South Carol1nlans
have not changed much and they never
favored enemies or home traitors. Nc
Laurin espoused Tillmanism and they
were two or three years g opponents
of h very same principles. The real
trouble is tina McLaurin is false to his
principles and party, is a turn-coat con-
sumed by ambition. Without being

and expected Of them under the new
law. The Raleigh News and Observer
says Of the duties OF the Commission"
The Revenue Act constitutes the
Corporation Commission a State Tax
Commission and requires IL to supervise
the execution Of the tax laws. and in
struct ~list-takers Is to their duties un-
der the art Two methods are prescrib-
ed fc- doing this: Sending out a letter
OF instruction to each list-taker. that
he may become familiar with the law:
and visiting each county and explaining
the law thoroughly, SO hat there may
be no trouble when list-taking time
arrives, which is the first OF June.
The commission is doing its best to
discharge both these duties. During
the week now ending they have visited
some fifteen counties and held tax
listers meetings. and a Dol Of printed
instructions has been e out to all tax
officers in the state
They have sent out ample instructions
to the listers. and the probability is
that more people will pay taxes and
more money will be raised by the new
plan than was ever raised before in
North Carolina. The duty OF listing
your taxes is most important, most es-
sential, most difficult. 1t should be
done intelligently, fairly, honestly. but
it is hard TO do we'll and wisely.

PRINCIPLES OF THE FUTURE.

Senator Simmons has beer interview
ed by the Charlotte Observers CORE
spondent at Raleigh concerning the is
sues of the democratic party. Lik a
man of observation he sees the tariff
looming up and demanding the first re-
cognition among issues. He thinks
1904, too far off to p~rophesy with GER
tainty and so it is, but the protective
tariff has been a republican fixture for
thirty years and for twenty-five years
Mr.. Tilden, the nominee of the democ-
racy for president, conducted a cam
paign of extraordinary force, wisdom
and earnestness, INT now, n then
the issue pressed was the republican
robber tax. The silver question will
hardly be to the front in the next great
Mr.. Simmons sees this as
others who favor it as a principle now
see it. He say with exact propriety
and truth: IF the financial question
ceases to be one of controversy, as now
seems probable. it will not be because
the principle of bi-metallism has been
disproved or because it's advocates have
lost faith in it, but because the spirit
of gain which is abroad is strong
enough to prevent it's application over
ar area of the world sufficiently large
to remove all doubt as to it's safe and
successful operation from the minds
of thousands who believe in It's justice,
its wisdom and its humanity"
The conditions are much changed for
h present. The questions that will
probably be uppermost will be the huge.
most unreasonable protective tariff, the
highest ever known and the most raS-
cally robber, the villanious trusts, the
imperialistic rampant latter-day dog
ma, and the great right Of h people
to govern! There will be others of i'm
p~ortance.

THE SOUTH'S TALKED OF COTTON
A

During the great war between the
dearth OF cotton-a regular famine.
Efforts to grow cotton were made with
some success in India and in Egypt.
The Egyptian product was superior, but
not so that OF India. We recall an in
cident in the war. A Methodist religi-
Gus meeting was held in England, when
one Of the brethren led in prayer and
implored the good Lord for an abund-
.ance OF cotton. A cunning brother
hearing, interjected-"Yea, Lord,
but Surat." He a tried the In
dian and knew it could not take the
place Of the American staple. Before
the war was ended a great many-per-
nearly all-of the British mills had
changed their machinery so as to work
the Indian cotton. The Egyptian sup
ply was comparatively small, and al
together insufficient. 1t is now report
ed hat in West Africa there will be an
attempt made to produce cotton in
great quantities SO as to supplement
the American product or so rival it as
to keep down the prices. 1t is very GER
tain that the south cannot afford with
all of it's immense advantage and vast
resource. to continue to grow cotton at
five or six cents a pound. For the
southern planters as a class to prosper
they must obtain from seven to nine
cents. How dangerous South American
countries, and India and Egypt and
West Africa can become is not yet re-
Ivealed. All combined ought to be able
Ito make a great deal of the important
staple. At present there is no occasion
for apprehension. The time may come.
and it is not improbable. we would sup
pose. when other parts of the globe
lshall grow great crops Of cotton. But
in the meantime populations increase
and the demand for cotton fabrics is
also constantly charging, The south
is a vast cotton field. Think of it, that
one state alone, Texas, can grow. il
its best lands are generally utilized
enough cotton to supply at least half
Iof the present demand. With remun-
prices the south can continue
indefinitely to control the cotton mar.
ket. But the excess of production is a
curse to it. If 13, 900, 900 bales are mar
keted from the present growing cror
look out for five cent cotton, or as some
one says. even fou cents cotton. Bet
ter cotton can be grown in the south
than in India. which produces a short
staple. 1t will be so we may not
doubt. in West Africa and elsewhere
The south holds the reins now and il
low prices do not disgust and repel the
planters until they abandon to a great
l%extent the production of cotton, it will
continue it's acknowledged supremacy

THE DECISION OF NORrHERN
PRESBYTERIANS.

The northern Presbyterians for some
years have been ~agitating creedal re-
vision. At last it has come, but in a
very mild form. 1t al only satisfy the
ultra advocates of far-reaching
changes hat are fundamental and dis
tinctfve. The vote, as printed in the
Messenger Of yesterday was over
whelming for revision of the faith OF
the Presbyterians. But after all when
you examine what it all means, it is by
no means a very decisive achievement.
If We read correctly the decision arrived
at is not by any means an authorize
ton Of radical changes. 1t is stated
that the church recommends" that the
committee to be appointed to report
hereafter, shall prepare a brief state
ment of the reformed faith but with
a view to its becoming q substitute for
or an alternative of our confession of
faith" Again it is stated that lit be-
ing understood that the revision shall
in no way impair h integrity OF the

fession and taught in the Holy Scrip

TAX-LISTING.

The legislature enacted a law known
as the Revenue Act" that is of much
Importance to the state and taxpayers
generally. 1t has been long known or
believed that the people did not pay
their taxes-that much that was tax
able was left untaxed and unpaid.
There was a want of regularity, of har-
mony, of uniformity. The legislators
sought to remedy this so far as it was
possible to do so by legal enactment.
Last Sunday the Messenger laid before
it's readers the main portion of the law
COR tax-listing, giving specific informa-
ton and thereby supplying a guide to
all interested Dr. concerned. The legis-
lature gave special instructions to what
is known as the corporation commits
sion," and this particular body is at it's
work. and to bring the tax-listers to a
full understanding of what is ~enjoined
