THE REPUBLICANS AND THE
TARIFF.

The tariff plank OF the National ise'
publican Platform is not exactly
what may have been expected OF the
convention on this issue, because in
dications prior to the convention
clearly indicated that the stand
patters" were in a large majority,
and would express their sentiments
unequivocally, and while the decla-
ration upon this question really
means that the party will stand pat
should it be returned to power, the
majority. evidently recognizing the
critical position in which it stands,
has thrown out n sop To the reform
ers with view TO holding their sup
port. The declaration that the Repub-
lican party insists upon the main
tenance of the principles OF protec-
ton, and, therefore. rates OF duty
should be readjusted only when con-
ditions have so changed that the
public interest demands their altera-
ton" does not mean that the party
will reduce the tariff where it needs
reduction. The public demand does
not mean the public at all; it means
the Republican party leaders, and
the Republican leaders have never
vet seen the need for production OF tar
if rates whore reduction was neceS-
sary. On the contrary the chances
are ten 80 one that there will rather
be an increase. II they had really
meant to reduce the tariff there would
have been some specific plan for re-
duction designated, such rs upon
commodities which protected inter
ests here sell at cheaper price
abroad than they do here, The tar
if plank is too indefinite and vague
to appeal to those Republicans who
honestly desire proper tariff reform.
Furthermore. the language, when
conditions have so changed,
clearly indicates that the leaders are
satisfied with present rates at the
present time.

The Baltimore and Philadelphia
conference OF the Methodist church,
colored, in session at Salisbury, Md,
Friday, considered a paper on the
state OF the country. One item OF
the report was as follows: 1--WE are
tired OF being pauper race in this
country. Let the negro do for him
self; he has the numbers and ability.
We are not lacking in legislative en-
actments. What is needed is the en-
forcement oil some of those We already
have. The negro must sue for better
recognition; that must be secured
through his own efforts" The col
ored man has it in his power to ac-
cumulate property and become a
useful and respectable citizen. There
are many openings for this, and
especially on the farms of the South
that are productive and remunera-
tive, and whose owners are anxious
for good tenants.

suit is steel bayonet and Circassian
dagger were broken against it and a

and such as had gone through light

apeCted carefully and critically, ID
not ct all satisfied With the dis
play that lie being made by HE
State at great show. He does NOT
believe Il lie worth near what i
cost the Commonwealth, and for
the failure to make q proper show
ing for this Commonwealth, he
lays the blame upon State Worlds

Special Commissioner Henry, Of
Jackson, in particular, who had ct
his command $50, OOOtO be used for
the purpose OF getting up q genu-
inely criditable expose Of the re.
sources, etc., Of Mississippi:
In giving expression to his sen
timents and feelings on the sub
iect Mr.. George very emphatically
stated: "When / went to st.
Louis to see the fair, the first thing
1 wanted to see was the Mississip
pi building and exhibit. l was a
member Of the State Senate which
voted for the appropriation of $780,
600 to advertise Mississippi at the
fair, and / expected to see a really
creditable showing made.
''The first thing / saw on APP
preaching the Mississippi display
was a building, The reproduction
Of Davis home, which looked as
though it could have been built iD
my own little town for a cost not
exceeding $4,000. The building in
reality was advertised as having
cost S15, 900, and there was disap-
pOintment, number one.
"On entering the place l could
find no one to dir ct me through it
There was a negro girl there, but
she said there was no one else
about the place at that time.
There was no exhibit from the
State in the building, either, roth
ing to show to the world what
progress and development have
been made by the State. That
was another disappointment and
before I left the place, after re-
naming over and hour, 1 was
thoroughly disguised with the
Mississippi exhibit.
just why this State OF analrs ex-
lists 1 cannot say. When the Leg
islature appropriated the $50, 900
for the State exhibit at the Worlds
Fair it was the understanding that
the amount would be used to ad-
Vertise the State, its resources, its
progress and development. II I
had not thought that 1 never
would have voted for the appro-
priatiOn, and neither would many
others whom I know. 1 believe
that nearly every Mississippiau
who visits the fair and compares
the Mississippi building with those
of other States will come away
ashamed OF the showing made for
the amount of money expended,
or rather appropriated"
