TARIFF and TRADE
CONFUSING STATISTICS MANUFAC.
TURED TO DELUDE People.
Government Bureau COIOrs Figure S
to Foster Monopoly. ABad Trade
SitunfiOn Exists Between This
Country and the South American
Republics.

The Government Bureau Of Statistics,
which colors all its figures to prove the
benefits of the tariff tax, has been COM
PEELED to acknowledge that bad trade
situation exists between this country
and the South American republics. The
review of our commercial relations with
those countries shows that ships bring
products north TO the United States and
then carry cargoes from here to European
nations and return with foreign goods for
South American countries. This shows
that while we buy coffee, hides, wool
rubber, sugar and other of their products
we require, they in return buy but little
of us. but prefer to deal with England
and Germany for manufactured goods,
with whom they have reciprocal trade
relations which this country refuses to
consider, under the present high protec.
tion system.
OF course, it would never do for the
Bureau OF Statistics to admit that our
refusal to reduce our tariff duties is the
cause Of this lack of trade, SO it assumes
that by establishing direct shipping
lines to South American ports our ex-
ports to those countries would be ma
terially increased. The promotion of this
policy kills two birds with one stone, it
supports the protective tariff and the
trusts and secretly is working for sub.
sidy to the steamship trust. 1t is the
familiar argument so common with the
protectionists and ship-subsldsts and
the subsidized organ of the Protective
Tariff League, which many western
states are repudiating.
When the tariff is revised, go that the
monopoly the trusts and combines now
enjoy is overthrown by competition, we
shall not only be able to sell to those
countries we are compelled to purchase
Of, but will be able to compete with any
foreign nation in the markets OF the
world with such OF our goods as we can
produce cheaper than other countries
can. Our farmers and other producers
will then be able to buy in the cheapest
market and sell in the best market the
world affords. As it is now the cost f
living has been go increased by the
trusts through the monopoly fostering
tariff, that we can neither sell our manu-
factures cheap at home, or compete
abroad unless the trusts forego their
enormous profits to do so. But when it
comes to selling our surplus agricultural
products, such as wheat, corn and cot.
ton, they must be sold at the price in
the worlds market irrespective of what
it cost to raise them, and that crop fixes
approximately the price for the whole
crop. And yet many farmers and others
vote for congressman who support ship
subsidy and the tariff system which
plumbers them.

KING SERVED IN NAVY.
The New Ruler of Norway Passed
Through Some Rough
Experiences.

Norway's new king was once an ap-
prentice in the Danish navy. In the
mess to which he belonged he was
called by his first name-that is, Karl
In Danish-and he had to eat the same
grub" and stand the same hardships
as all the other apprentices. Although
everybody knew him to be prince OF
the realm, no Difference whatever was
paid to him as such. On the contrary,
he was "hazed" and made miserable in
good old midshipman style. He took
his medicine bravely enough. Or
board ship he had to mend his own
clothes, darn his socks, sew on buttons
and keep his weapons and accouter-
ments in order. He slept in regula-
ton sailor hammock, with his clothes
rolled up under his head for a pillow
without nightshirt and wearing only
sailors wooden striped undershiit
and bundled up in wooden blanket.
sometimes with his sea boots dangling
by the hammock rope. He used tc
make the big brass pinnacle flash like
silver mail. He could never quite
get used to chewing tobacco, which in
the eyes of every true apprentice is
one of the cardinal virtues, and when
ever he was seasick, which often hap
pened, he used to sit in the gangway
on bucket and chew rye bread.

A SERIOUS
FREIGHT WRECK.
MUCH PROPERTY DESTROYED
AND TRAFFIC DELAYED AT
cULLECkA.

! A serious freight wreck occurred
Tuesday afternoon at about foul
O'Clock at the bridge just beyond Cul
leoka, which resulted in the destruc
ton of three cars with a part of theiI
contents and the stoppage of all traf-
| fic for five or six hours.
The wreck was caused by a rear end
collision between sections four and
| five of South-bound freight number II
The two sections were running at a
high rate of speed, section five follow
of the bridge gang tagged the first
section and it stopped. The second
section rounded the curve nearby and
was unable to stop in time to prevent
the disaster The engine of the sec
ond section plowed it's way through
the first three cars and threw them
down the high embankment, where
they caught fire and were destroyed
with their contents of coal and iron
machinery. The engine embedded it.
self in the fourth car which was loaded
with flour, and this car too caught
fire, but the contents were unloaded
and saved.
The engineer on the second section
jumped and was slightly injured. The
fireman kept his post and was not
hurt. The first engine was knocked
loose from the train and had several
steam pipes broken, so that it went
dead and had to be hauled away.
The conductor on the first section
saw the second train approaching and
jumped to safety, together with tele-
graph operator, who was riding on the
caboose.

TREVlLLE.

The l.. & n has another corps OF
engineers in the field and is prepar-
ing to give Maury county another
branch line. The line will be an ex-
tension of the old line which former
ly ran to Kite-shaped track. Leaving
the terminus of that line it will run
in a northwesterly direction till it
strikes Duck River and will continue
down the river four or five miles when
it will cross and run on down toward
Centreville, and will in time probably
be extended to that place. Options
are being secured all along the route
and the outlook is that construction
work will begin at an early date.
The line will pentrate a fine phos-

The delicatessen man started to say
something about the sausages in the
window not being just like the reg

who began to insist that the sausages

CARMACK CAPTURES
GAINESVILLE, TOO.
The Leaf-Chronicle Says the People
Understand Now Why Ex-Gov.
Taylor Won't Meet Him in
Joint Debate.

The GAINESVILLE Leaf-Chronicle con
tains the following editorial comment
upon Senator Carmack's speech in that
city last Monday. Inasmuch as Mont
gomery county has been claimed to be
one of Gov. Taylor's strongholds, the
publication in the Leaf-Chronicle
showing that Carmack had made rap
id inroads there, too, has naturally
attracted attention in political circles.
Said the editor of the Leaf Chronicle:
Senator Carmack certainly captur-
ed his audience here Monday, and won
many voters over to his cause. 1t was
a brilliant speech and made profund
impression upon everyone who heard
it. No man wanted to leave, but, on
the contrary, those on the outside con-
tinued to push and wedge in until the
standing room of the large hall was
exhausted.
Everyone could easily understand
why Gov. Taylor, who compares him
self to David, will not meet this young
Goliath. Mr.. Carmack, however,
used this figure as presented by Gov.
Taylor with great effect, knocking
all that beautiful sentimentality out of
Taylor.
There is no question of a strong
Taylor following in this county, based
on sentimentality. They all love
Our Bob for his fine jokes and much
fun. All people have to laugh; but
when Carmack gets after Bob the joke
is turned, and then people are con-
vulsed with laughter. There was a
general expression that If all the peo-
pie could hear Carmack, and be Undue
ed to vote from judgment, Taylor
would not be in the race. No man is
heard to speak against Carmack; all
that he is one of the
most brilliant statesmen in the South,
but they just love Bop for his fun
There is a wonderful change working
and a feeling that it would be shame
to turn down Carmack at this time"
