trusts received no benefits worth men,
tioning from the tariff.
To count upon American federation
of clearly perceived imposition is fol-
ly Of the kind which denies, or ignores,
the lessons of experience. To expect
that this country will indefinitely en-
dure the painfully felt tariff hold-up
is one of the republican machines as
sumptions upon which it's present cam
paign is based. Until people fully
wake to injustice there is opportunity
not afterwards.
That the people have come to know
the nature and causes of their tariff
aff1iction is fairly established by the
usual means available for reading the
public mind. Tariff abuses have been
agitated constantly since the enactment
of the Dingley schedules into law, and
agitation is greater at the present mo.
ment than at any time in the interim
Congress consumed a great part of it's
last session with tariff discussion which
often waxed violent. Turbulent ora
tory is now occupied with that topic
to d large extent. Publicists in politi-
cal interests and campaign writer's are
devoting prodigious labors thereto. The
press teens with it's consideration
The president labored in defense of the
schedules in his most noteworthy mes
sage to congress and in the preceding
congressional campaign labored with
the issue on the stomp. Tariff consider

chine had progressed far enough so
that the trial trip will be made within
the next two weeks. Mr.. Winslow has
completed the steering gear and is now
remodeling the wings. The wings will
be made much larger than was origin
ally intended, 25 yards more canvas
being put into them. The steering
gear will be operated by bicycle,
which is also to be used as means of

STRENGTHENING TARIFF ISSUE

One phase of tariff extortion has been
made specially clear by recent expe-
rience and has been emphasized in
late discussions. 1t is both demon
strated and admitted that the Dingley
law enables the trusts to sell goods
abroad for considerably less than to
the American consumer The republi-
can politicians, confronted with the
facts, have resorted to the desperate
contention that the conquest of foreign
markets by the trust is beneficial to the
American consumer. The argument is
so specious as to be self damning.
The great admitted fact which occu-
pies the attention of the people is that
they are levied upon for double profits.
They pay not only a big profit on
their own consumption, but the freight
and the profit on goods which are con-
sumed by foreigners. Under this
scheme of things, it is easy to under
stand that reciprocity" is not de-
sired by American monopolists. The
American consumer is mulcted out of
sufficient to enable the monopolist to
buy his way over foreign tariff walls
In sense the American consumer pays
a double tariff-hs own and the for
eigners. He pays an American tariff
to keep competition out and he pays a
foreign tariff-plus the freight to the
foreign porto get the American
trust in.
The admission of these facts is of
the greatest moment. It is another one
of the series of powerful re-enforce-
ments of revision sentiment which
have developed within the two years
past. The cruel and criminal opera
tons of the Dingley schedules have
been exposed in many remarkable in
stances since the date of Mr. Roose-
Velt's astounding declaration that the

The Passing of the Country
Church. is the title of an interesting
article in the Outlook by James E.
Boyle. From this article we learn, if
We do not already know it, that the
country, upon which we have been ac-
customed to look as the stronghold of
organized religion, has lost it's charac-
ter as such in recent years. Accord
ing to Mr. Boyle, the decay of the rural
church is due chiefly to the tendency
to schisms and divisions. The congre-
cations divide and subdivde over some
new religious fad or some difference in
dogma, and with each division, the
amount of true religion decreases.
The rural church." says Mr.. Boyle
seems doomed. Each time it changes
name-now Baptist, now New Light
now Saint-it loses in membership and
vitality. Its fire may be resumed tenn
porarily, but it's ultimate extinction is
inevitable Soon the little church
stands by the wayside forsaken. the
doorstep decked with tall weeds, the
windows broken. Then it becomes
granary or a corn crib for some thrifty
farmer, or is torn down and carried
away. This process may take years
even decades, but it is inevitable.
Mr.. Boyle does not think that the
decline of the rural church is accom-
panied by an increase of vice and
crime in the rural districts. The coun-
try schoOlhouse is better and more nj
fiuential than ever. The rural free de-
livery mail box is fast appearing at
every front gate. Intelligence is
more widely disseminated than form
erly. There is less ignorance. The
people are no longer interested by the
kind of preaching that used to appeal
to them.
The higher order of rural intell-
gence demands a better church than
| the old country church ever was or
could be. In the future, Mr.. Boyle
thinks, the church people of the coun-
try will belong to strong and ably con-
Quoted churches in the towns and vii
lagos. Thus the building of good roads,
the introduction of the rural free de-
livery, the building of suburban trolley
lines and the popularizatiOn of the au-
tOmobile will have a good effect relig-
will strongly tend to give the rural
communities better religious connect
ion than they ever had in the old days
of small country churches.

Rough on Mark Twain.

Mark Twain tells an interesting
story in connection with the late
Charles Darwin. He was informed
by friend, who was visiting the emf
nent scientist, that he had noticed a
copy of The Innocent Abroad" lying
on the great mans table. Darwin re-
quested him on no account to dis
turb the book. as it was his practice
to read it night and morning. On
the appearance of Darwin's biogra-
ply. Mark Twain hastened to pur-
chase copy in order to ascertain
what reference to himself it might
contain. There was, however, no
mention whatever of his name. the
only possible allusion to him being
the statement that Darwin in his old
age suffered from some kind of brain
paralysis which prevented him from
following his ordinary mental pur-
suits and compelled him to solace
with trashy novels and va
cuous humor."

seled in crimson and decorated with
artificial flowers and golden butter

by her enemies. She is fond of

KEEPING PACE WITH DEMANDS.
This Will Be Truly a Greater State
Fair-It Begins on October 25th-
Ample Arrangements

The State Agricultural and Mechani.
| cal Society purchased one hundred
acres Of level land in the southern
! part Of Columbia last spring on which
to hold its annual South Carolina State
Fairs. This change was made neces-
sary because the OLD grounds were too
small to accommodate the large num-
Der of exhibitors and visitors who an
nually attended the great fairs, and
the buildings were no longer suitable
for the purposes for which they were
built On the new grounds there is
room tor everything and for every
body, and they are more conveniently
sit',ated to the transportation lines
thai the old grounds were. The dis
tance is less than a half mile from the
new union depot, and the grounds are
reached by several fine roads and by
the street car lines, and no trouble will
be experienced in handling the large
crowds that are sure to visit Columbia.
Visitors will find everything brand new
this year. The buildings are all modern
in construction, large, airy, and COM
Portable, all one story, with numerous
exits and wide aisles. One building is
devoted entirely to the handiwork Of
women, and is set apart from the other
buildings so that the fair sex may en-
joy themselves without interruption.
Another building is devoted to the agri-
cultural exhibits and implements, and
another to the commercial exhibits.
Then, the poultry building occupies a
very prominent location and is very
large and roomy. The live stock barns
are so arranged that all visitors can
safely and conveniently pass through
all OF them and see all the stock at any
time, and the management specially
requests that visitors avail themselves
Of this opportunity.
The regulation mile race track is le-
Gated in the southern part Of the
grounds, and is a beauty. The races
may be viewed from the Fair grounds
II it be preferred to do so, but a large,
comfortable grand stand is located at
the finish of the home stretch, where
the races can be viewed to much better
advantage and with more comfort. The
quarter stretch is not separated from
the grand stand, as was the case on
the old track, but all are combined
under one incloSure, thus increasing
the social part of the meet.
The Midway or Pike is located near
the main entrances, and will be filled
with all the modern shows and attrac-
tions, with wares from very part Of
the world. and with people from every
part of the world. The athletic
grounds are located just opposite the
Midway, on the other side Of the
entrance. Here will be played tive
excellent games Of football during
Fair week.
The railroads have offered very
cheap rates on account Of the first
Greater State Fair, and they will run
most convenient schedules from all
sections Of the State. In view of all
the attractions that have been ar
ranged for, there is no risk in saying
that the large crowd Of last year will
be doubled this fall, and that this
great gathering will be more easily ae-
than IL any former year.
Every one ought to attend the only
big fair and social event In the State.

INDIANS AND THE ARMY.
The Old Time Officers Were the Red
skirs' Best Friends.

"The best friend the Indian ever
had was the old time regular army
officers" said T. P Montgomery, a
cattle raiser OF Miles City, Mont, the
other day. "and incidentally the best
friends the young cub officer had was
the old time Indian. I have lived
in Montana. Nebraska and Idaho
ractically all my life. and I saw and
took part in many of the Indian CAM
paigns of twenty and thirty years ago.
During the Indian wars saw hum

bonds of friendship existing between

time of Custer and the Little Big
Horn, was in Montana. The chey-
enne Sioux were giving the settlers
trouble, and two troops of cavalry
had been sent after them and were
encamped on what is now my own

had habit OF sending out Eeuten-
ant with three or four men on scout
ing expeditions

course not. They knew the young
