HANDS OFF!
Importance of the Tariff In Its Pre-
yentive Effects.

Importance of the Tariff In It's Pre-
ventive Effects.
United States Senator Frye, presi-
dent of the senate, has small patience
with those who urge revision OF the
protective tariff. Senator Frye finds
that this clamor is Democratic, as for
many years pa9t, and he says that 1t
entirely ignores the preventive value Of
the tariff.
In regard TO the cry that the tariff
aids tie trusts Senator Frye contends
that if duties were lowered the indie
pendent manufacturers would be
crushed. thus removing competition
from the large corporations and really
hurting instead of helping the public.
The senator says:
Suppose that, owing to conditions
entirely extraneous to the United
States, the Manchester manufacturers
were to find themselves seriously over
stocked and that there was no proven
tive tariff. They would Immediately
ship their surplus to the United States
to be sold for whatever the goods
would bring. This would not mean
that they would compete with the
American manufacturer, but it would
for the time being completely democrat
lie the market. Their goods and the
American product would sell at ruin
GUS prices, to the serious detriment of
the domestic manufacturer and his op-
eratives, who would probably be
thrown entirely out Of employment for
a time.
IAN illustration Of this fact is found
in the very argument Of the tariff re-
visionists. They point to the fact that
American manufacturers are selling
their products abroad for less than
they charge at home. OF course they
are. These products sold abroad are
their surplus. With the alternative OF
continuing their mills in operation,
keeping their employees at work and
producing more goods than the domes'
tic demand can absorb or OF closing
their mills and factories until the DO
nestle demand warrants resumption,
they choose the former and trust to
disposing of their surplus abroad, II
not at profit at least without loss.
This has been frequently done by the
steel trust, to the great benefit of their
EMPLOYEES, and now the fevisionists
make it a pretext of rohbing the steel
industry of protection.
IF there were no tariff on those
goods which can be produced here for
less than they can be sold at abroad
the domestic market would be con-
stantly subjected to the unloading or
their foreign SURPRISES, with the inevi,
table resultant decentralization. The
preventive effect Of the tariff is of the
utmost Importance"
Senator Frye sums up the case for
manufacturer and workingman and
does it we'll when he says:
1.-THE country is enjoying the utmost
prosperity under the DiPgley bill. The
demand for a reduced tariff is purely
political and ephemeral, and there Is
no adequate reason for attempting an
experiment which has never been pro-
ductive of anything but evil in the
past"

OYSTER CULTURE.
Bivalves Are Planted, Cultivated
and Harvested Like other Crops.

The average citizen may not know
that oysters are planted, cultivated and
harvested like any other crop, a per-
son who engages in this industry be-
ing known as an oyster planter. Thou
sands of acres of oysters are under
cultivation in Hampton Roads, which
during the harvesting season is often
literally alive with the reaping ma
chimes of the oyster men.
When the oysters are from one and
a half to two years old they are usu-
ally large enough to be sold, and as
rule part Of them are sold at this age
and the balance in the third or fourth
wear, after which time the ground is
allowed to rest year before being
planted again. Great care must be ex-
ercised in the selection of bottoms for
oyster planting if the planter would
be financially successful.
The largest packer in Hampton opens
from 100000 to 100000 bushels Of oys'
tiers in a year. In this house as the
men open the oysters they drop the
shells on an inclined plane, from which
they slide into a trough and are carried
along by scrapers attached to an end
less chain, called shell conveyor,
which takes them without further Ia
Dor to the shell pile in the yard. When
a shucker has filed his gallon measure
he carries it to the strainer, where the
oysters are strained and measured
They are then emptied into large casks
kept full of fresh water, by means OF
which any loose shell or grit is washed
out. From these casks the oysters are
dipped into second strainer and when
separated from the water are again
measured and packed.
The shells are sold for from to 8
cents q bushel and are used extensive
" by oyster planters for the propaga-
ton of oysters. They are placed IN
small piles on grounds found suitable
for the purpose, where the spat or
small oyster will attach itself to the
shells. They are also used for making
shell lime and for building the excel
lent she'll roads found in some parts OF
the Virginia Observation-Disclosures
