Keep It Up

There is one industry in Macon that
should be well sustained, and that is
the Cotton Oil Mills, for the reason,
chiefly, that its success may induce
0 her companies to establish similar en-
terprises here, as it must be admitted,
ITS failure would tend to keep them
away, and the prosperity of the town
would be seriously crippled, Its adyeat
here was universally welcomed, and
now that it is here on a good footing, it
should be well patronized by the mer
chants as well as farmers. That it has
been great benefit to this community,
we have only to compare present prices
Of cotton seed with the prices that
prevailed here before the mill was in
operation. If we know our own interest
we will keep the mill grinding, and tc
enable it to do this, it must be furnished
with products in sufficient quantity tC
insure its success,

Tari1 and Wages.

One of the highest protected indus
tries is the flint glass trust. In fact,
the duties on all kinds of glass were
intended to be prohibitive. The result
Of this Republican legislation has been
an enormous increase in the price Of
glass, some kinds more than doubling
since the Dingley tariff law was enact
ed. According to the theory of the pro
tectionists, the high tariff on glass
should make its manufacture the most
prosperous for the workers engaged in
it, but an Associated Press dispatch
from Pittsburg on Nov. q announces
that an average reduction Of 20 per
cent in wages has been ordered by the
Flint Glass association. and about 1000
men are affected.

taken as being raw material not to

erential treatment. What council Of
the empire can hope to decide between
these conflicting interests? All attempt
to enforce a uniform system of taxa
ton upon such an empire would lead to

"The great difficulty that confronts
Mr.. Chamberlain is that in any system

"Mr. Chamberlain's next great argu-
ment is that wages will rise under pro.

because of your numerous neutral re-

wages are 20 per cent higher in Eng

"Mr. Chamberlain's great argument.
which is appealing very largely to
manufacturers i'll England. is that we
are the dumping ground Of the world
for its cheap products. Can any hap
pier fate befall a nation than to have
everything it needs supplied ut the
lowest price? This is the final issue.
Shall we consider the condition of the
producer or the consumer? In word,
is scarcity or abundance the best test
of nations prosperity? The English
free trader wishes to continue that
abundance under which his nation has

SIGNIFICANT POINTERS.
Vast improvements Projected by the
Railroads.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
The plans Of some of the leading railroads
of the country are fairly eloquent in their
significance as bearing upon the industrial
outlook for the present year and the con-
tinuance Of the prosperity of the year Just
closed. During 1908 the New York Central
management of the Boston & Albany rail-
road will spend $4,000, 900 for grade cross
ings and general improvements. The New
York Central also will expend about $685.
900, 900 upon the reconstruction Of it's termi-
nal in New York City, and. included in this,
will be the cost OF installing electric instead
of steam service within the city limits and
suburbs. The Union and Southern Pacific
companies will spend sac, 0O0, 900 In reducing
grades, shortening lines and adding to their
transportation facilities. The Pennsylvania
company is to begin next month upon con-
struction contracts amounting to $50, 900, 900,
including the terminal in New York, the
enlargement OF buildings and yards in Pitts
burg and the erection Of the new union sta
ton in Washington.
The appropriation Of this large sum OF
about $12O, 900, 900 by four railroad compa-
MES alone, to which millions more must be
added to completely represent the plans of
all the railroad companies for the increase
OF their capacity TO move the already con-
gested accumulation of fuel. grain, lumber,
iron and steel, and make ready to handle
the product of this year, shows that not
only they have confidence in the continuance
of the prosperity which made last year such
a noteworthy industrial one, but that the
logic of the situation warrants them in
these heavy outlays.
Expenditures upon so large a scale mean
an increased consumption Of material, an
increased demand for labor, and, naturally.
a largely increased distribution Of wages,
The last item means a higher standard OF
living. 1t also means an increase Of gen.
eral business, for a large share OF wages
goes to the retailers. and what helps the
retailer helps the wholesaler, and what
helps the wholesaler helps the mill and the
railroad. In all directions, indeed, the
promises are bright for another prosperoul
year.
