DEBATES.
The query was Resolved that the
American government should at once
abolish all tariffs except for revenue"
Affirmative, Dialectic: L. l.. Parker r.
5. Stewart; Negative, PhilanthrOpiC: +.
H. Hassell, r. o. Everett.
Mr.. Parker opened for the negative
end among the points made were that as
the object of protection was for the aid
OF manufactures not normally profitable
land as American manufactures were
normally profitable, then production is
unnecessary; that a tariff for production
leaves the consumer at the mercy of the
producer; that industrial forces are at
work breaking down domestic cOmpeti-
tion, the peoples only safeguard, and
that the tariff is an aid to the forces
thus at work.
Mr.. Hassell, following for the mega
tive, pointed out that protection was ne
cessary if we would have material de-
velopment; that it is not a question Of
intense taxation, but one of taxa
tion without protection, or of taxation
with protection; hat tariff is simply
contribution to the public treasury;
that no competition can promote the
welfare of society which does not tend to
make wealth cheap; that protection is
based upon the differences Of cost Of
production; that it is social inferiority
instead of superiority thar makes pro-
lection necessary.
Mr. Stewart the second speaker for The
affirmative, said that protection lad an
evil effect upon the interests of the
great mass of our people; that IL creates
sectional legislation, and the idea of
natural development is forgotten; that
| it creates and fosters trusts; that 1t is
legislating against the many for the
benefit of the few.
Mr.. Everett, the last speaker for the
negative stated that the United States
now had the highest tariff in her history
and was making the greatest Industrial
development; that while some industries
no longer needed protection, cotton, su-
gar, silk and some others were not among
| them; shat the American industrial IA
brio is founded upon the idea OF pro-
lection and that a change in the tariff
would throw into confusion the whole
business organization of tho country.
The Presidents reception tonight was
greatly enjoyed by a distinguished list
of guests.
In the Dialectic Society last evening
| during it's anniversary meeting several
old members, now thoroughly acquainted
with the duties and responsibilities or
| life, were called upon as 1t were TO
give an account of themselves to the
| society they once loved-they now love
| the Dialectic Society.
DR.. Kemp Plummer Battle, Professor OF
History. who mas now grown gray in the
4 service to the State, was called upon
| to preside over it's deliberations. In
| few we'll chosen words he thanked the
| society for the honor shown him, and
/! extended to all a warm welcome to this
! university. God grant that he may re-
tain his mental vigor for many years yet
to come.
The society then called upon DR.. o. F.
Frost of the class of so, now OF lii
nojs. to address it. He was warmly and
| enthusiastically received by the large
| number fellow "Di'' members.
DR.. Frost's life should be an inspiration
to every poor boy in North Carolina
whose soul is yearning for an education.
With only $50, said Mr.. Frost, studied
Greek and Latin, duly preparing my
self for the University. But when
