to roll up the account ut the savings
bank. Yes, the farmers of the country,
as a general thing, feel pretty jolly just
now, and it is the protective tariff
which is responsible for it. There is
no doubt about that. And the best Of
1t is that the farmers are not the only
people who are feeling jolly, but the
jolly effects of protection prosperity
have been felt by people in all walks
of life everywhere throughout the cour
try. AS a producer of jollity the pro-
tective tariff has few. If any, equals,
and we are glad to see that the Louis
vile COurier-Journul is at last begin
ming to recognize the fact.

In Decs .lber, 1898. the President of
the United States and the Governor Of
Alabama We're received and entertain
ed at Tuskegee Institute by Booker L.
Washington. Nevertheless, the act of
the new President of the United States,
In receiving and entertaining Booker
L. Washington at the White House Il
few days ago, is being described by
many Southern newspapers as "an out
rage and "a declaration of war; In
the view of the Southern newspapers,
the President of the United States may
dine with Il cOlorcl man ut q colOred
mans home and not depart from the
stiictest lines of propriety; but If he
invites the most distinguished colored
man in the country to dine with him ut
the White House lie is guilty of an
'%'outrage.' In other words, the Presi-
dent of the United States may accept
may not return it.
This is absurd. The President re-
ceived. consulted, and entertained
Booker 4. Washington in his character
as President of all the people. There
was no protest when Mr.. Washington
advised the President to adopt a new
policy as to new appointments of white
men in the South. There was no pro-
test when such appointments of white
men We're made in accordance With his
advice. The line was drawn only when
the President invited Mr.. Washington
TO dine With him.
We are tlarty-five years from the end
of the Civil War. We are living at a
time when it is the duty of the Presi-
dent of the United States to receive
Hospitality the representatives of all
nations-white. black. or yellow-and
all races-white. black or yellow-and
yet. when the President in the perform
ance of his duty receives Hospitality
the chosen representative of 100000
native Americans, there are those who
pretend to see in this act of official
courtesy an Outrage and Il "declara-
ton of war; OH some American insti-
tuition or institutions. Nonscnse!-Chi-

A Southern View.

While we are not in favor of a tariff
that protects trusts and builds up mo.
nopolies we believe that the interests
Of the country and specially the South
ern States require some protection from
the sugar planter of Cuba and his
cheaper labor. The efforts Of the
Northern States to produce beets for
sugar have not been successful, but the
cane producing regions of the South
offer splendid opportunities for those
seeking profitable investment, provid-
ing an opportunity is given the planter.
But If a reciprocal tariff agreement is
made with Cuba the Southern States
will be greatly crippled and only the
sugar trusts will be the gamer, for
while the reduction in price will de-
stroy the sugar cane business Of the
South. the duty taken of will not 70
into the peoples pockets but to the

The Louisville Courier-Journal saws
that the protective tariff has been used
to "jolly' the farmer. That is exact
ly where the Courier Journal is right.
II the farmers of this country have ever
had occasion to feel jolly, it is now,

money has come rolling in to pay of
mortgages, to buy new equipment, in

Retain the Sugar Tariff

The proposal to remove the duty on
imported raw sugar is not to be taken
very seriously. and it is improbable
that there is any danger threatened to
the sugar sect industry, for more rea-
sons than one.
In the first place, the Republican
party is not likely to reopen the Tariff
question Cor years to come, and the
Democrats are not likely to have the
power to make a move in that direction
for ten years any way. inasmuch as the
United Sttaes Senate has Il Republican
majority that is not liable to be over
come in that time ut least. And even
when Tariff revision finally Ices come,
it is scarcely possible that the Tariff OH
sugar will be removed, if for ne other
reason than that the Federal Treasury
can hardly get along without it, yield
ing as it does an annual revenue of
about 100000, 600. Lastly, there is no
reason why the sugar duties should
ever be abolished, for they afford q
means OF raising revenue that is almost
ideal.
The Tariff on sugar, whether pro-
tective or not, is almost the only mi
that can be justified. for it is almost
the only means whereby the property
less man can be made to contribute to
the support Of the Federal government
without undue hardship to himself. No
man is too poor to pay his mite to the
support of his nations government. To
levy a direct tax upon the poor man is
not feasible. But If he pays indirectly
in the form of an enhanced price on
the little sugar that he uses, he does
not feel it, and in the aggregate a vast
sum accrues yearly to Uncle Sam.
The principle is not new, by any
means. England has had it in practice
for a good many years. And there is
no reason why it should not be adopted
as a part of the permanent fiscal policy
of the United States. To be sure, the
sugar trust may desire to have it
otherwise, and such influence has more
than once availed more with Congress
than justice or craftsmanship should
permit. but the fact remains that $780,
100000 cannot SO easily be obtained in
any other way. = Penn Yam On. "

WHAT he SAID.

Correct Interpretation Of President
Mckinlsy's Speech at Buffalo.
The following extract should be prop
erly read and intelligently accentuated
in order to understand precisely where
the late William Mckinley stood on the
questions of trade extension, reciproc-
ity and taritr revision. In his speech
At Buffalo the President said:
by sensible trade arrangements,
which will not interrupt our home pro-
duction, we shall extend the outlets
for IL increasing surplus.
"A system which provides u mutual
exchange of commodities is manifestly
essential to the continued and healthful
growth of our export trade. We must
not repose in fancled security that we
can forever sell everything and buy
little or nothing. If such q thing We're
possible it would not be best for us or
for those With whom we deal.
I'VE should take from our customers
such of their products. as we can use
without harm to our industries and la
Dor.
Reciprocity is the natural outgrowth
of III wonderful Industrial develop
ment under the domestic policy now
firmly established. II perchnnce some
of otir tariffs are no longer needed for
revenue o. to encourage II protect
our industries at home. why should
they not be employed to extend and
promote our markets abrOady"
"By sensible trade arrangements"
said the President. Note the quali1i-
cation. No trade arrangements can lie
called sensible other than those (which
Will no interrupt II home produc-
tion." Is there any difficulty in grasp
ing that?
What class of commodities should we
take from Il foreign customers? Pres
ident McKinley's answer was:
"Such of their products as we can use
without harm to IL industries and Ia
bor." Can the meaning of this be mis-
understood? Only by those whose self
ish interest it is to misunderstood it.
Having plainly stated his idea of the
basis on which special trade treaties
should be made, the President declared
IN favor of reciprocity as the natural
outgrowth OF u wonderful industrial
development under the domestic poEcy
now firmly cstablished'-that is, the
policy of protection. Does anybody
doubt that that is what the President
said and meant?
! AS 10 tariff tinllerlng-did MI. Nc
Kinley favor it? Not at all. Elf, per-
chance"-note that all important if
it should be found that some of the du-
ties on imports were not required either
for revenue or for protection, then, and
only then. should such duties be re-
moved in the interest of foreign trade
extension. Every protectionist agrees
that, "if pcrchance," etc. But there
must be no Jumping at conclusions. no
taking for granted that. protective du.
ties are no longer needed, no surrcn-
der of the principle and policy of pro.
lection. no blind leap i'll the dark, no
idiotic tumble into the quagmire OF
free trade. 1t is far from clear at the
present time that any duty in the Ding
ley law schedules can be safely modi.

ed Significantly that the First district

of the Democratic msjorities It has

name Gibraltar district" Yet, for
some reason, the Democrats in the

more important state offices, and been
elected TO the United States senate in
Kentucky, where are to be found any
from the great Gibraltar district ~
There are a few, no doubt, bpt how
many governors has the First district
produced, and how many illustrious
Democrats Of the district that 'pre.
vent Kentucky going Republican"
have had an opportunity TO immortal
ize themelves in the United States

representatives of the district ever get
anythingy Are they too lazy to try,
too timid to ask, or too Insignificant
to be needed They seem to be a
badly mistreated set. They need a
little get up and get. i" If they
hold the balance OF power in Ken
lucky, they deserve something. The
truth is. the Democracy in the First
district seems 70 have no leader cap
able OF enforcing its demands. The
party gets its votes and then laughs
at it. If 1t has claims. they remain
nnhesdsd. All the First district
Democracy eyeF gets 10 . few small

privilege OF keeping the district
from going Republican again next
time. 1t is perhaps nothing to the
Republican party, but every man with
any pride in his own particular sec
ton OF the state desires to see men
from his district get what they are
entitled to. II the offices must go to

First district wonld prefer seeing
them go to First district men. Yet
