A Class of Monstrosities.

Of all the funny two-legged ami
mails that chew tobacco and walk
on the forked end those "Tarift re-
form" Republicans take the lead.
BY demanding Tariff reform they
actually take the position that it is
necessary to destroy a part OF our
prosperity to prevent the Democrats
from destroying it all. Reader, do

How to Provoke a Tariff War.

The recent Tariff law passed by
the German Reichstag establishes a
maximum and minimum rate of
duties. The law authorizes the Min
lister of Finance to negotiate COM
merclal treaties extending the mini
mum rate of duty to those nations
that make no Determinations against
Germany and admit German pro-
ducts on such terms as are satisfac-
tory to the Minister of Finance. TO
all other countries the maximum
rate, which is practically prohibi-
tory, is made applicable. If we
grant by commercial treaty special
favors to other nations, such as are
proposed in the adoption of the
Cuban and French treaties, for in
stance. we will place ourselves in a
situation where the German Gov
ernment will apply her higher rates
of duty to all our products.
The bill is framed as club to
hold over heads especially and the
heads of every other nation that
does not accord to German pro-
ducts privileges equal to those &C
corded to competing countries. In
effect Germany says: "Discriminate
against US If you will, but don't be
surprised when you find US playing
the same game"
We are now ON the verge of a
Tariff war. The commercial treat
les between the various leading ma
tons of Europe all expire within the
next two or three years, and will
have to be renewed. We cannot
afford to take the lead in making
determinations. If we do We are
going to get into a great deal of
trouble. We shall make more enc
mics than friends, and for every
dollar of immediate profit there will
be ten dollars Of ultimate loss. At
present our foreign trade is in a
highly Aourishing condition. Will
it be improved as the result of pro-
voking trado jealousies and making
Trade enemies2 Is it not another
case of letting we'll enough alone!

Because of the Tariff.

A leading leather manufacturer in
India, who is on his way to this coun-
try is credited with saying that Am.
erican leather manufacturers have
made great inroads into the leather
trade of his country. Up to a few
years ago most of the goatskins that
were imported from India were first
tanned in that country, but now our
tanners find that they can do this
work themselves, so are buying many
skins in the hair. This has driven
many native tanners in India out of
the business. In one section of the
country Americans have got their
collectors out, so that where 4 few
years ago there were about 400 ma
tive tanneries, today they number
about one hundred.-Boston Coon

Tariff on Coal.

The coal duty is the very Oldest OF
the Protective measures on the
statue books of this country. The
original Tariff act of 1889 imposed
a duty upon coal of every kind and
quality, and there has never been
time until now when btu minous coal
entered the country free of duty.
The need for Protection in the
East and Middle West has long gone
by, so there was not a coal operator
in any of the sections now suffering
from the coal shortage who inter-
posed the slightest objection to the
repeal Of a duty which was mean
ingless to him. The Tariff did Pro-
tect an industry in the State OF
Washington. Its removals. heavy
blow to this State; and the worst of
it the really irritating points
that the action of Congress will be
absolutely without any benehtts the

What Causes Prosperity.

Republican policy has not caused
the rain or sunshine, but it has sup
piled and protected the market open
to the things the rain and the sun
shine have brought forth. Nature
has given the land, and with all its
latent possibilities, but the land
would be going to waste If there
were no marts for that it yields.
Industry has been stimulated from
the certainty that its efforts would
not be for naught. A glance back
at the awful times of the early nine
ties will recall to mind that then the
acres were as fruitful, and the hand
of toll as calloused by honest en-.
deavor. There was the rain and
the sunshine. Harvest followed
seed slime. Yet the looms were 81
lent because none had the means to
purchase. To gather the crops was
futile, for none would buy. The
country was poor because OF the ar
tifcial and unwholesome financial
atmosphere, and this atmosphere
was the expression Of Democratic
faith put into works. Tacoma

Opportunities
in the South.

No portion of the United
States has made greater prog
ress in the last year or two
than the South. Northern
and foreign capital is rapidly
invading that section, finding
profitable investment in the
various industries and factori-
es that are being rapidly deyel-
oped and built. The great in-
flux of settlers is creating an
increased demand for lands Of
all kinds and prices are grad
ually advancing, as they will
for years to come. Work Is
plentiful and poverty practi-
cally unknown. Alabama is
supplying the coal and iron to
all the world. More money
can be made and with less la
Dor in the raising of small
fruits and berries and in truck
patching on the Gulf Coast
than in any other state in the
Union. Strawberries from AL
ALBANIA reach northern mar
kets before those from the
states in the southeast. Cat
tie can be raised with great
profit, there being millions of
