The Republicans of South Dakota at
their late state convention declared
that the tariff "should be modified
from time to time to meet
changed conditions" The Republican
members of Congress from that state
have been voting to standpat and sup
porting Speaker Cannon in packing
the Ways and Means Committee AID
refusing to recognize any member who
proposed to modify the tariff, even on
such articles as those on which the
rate exceeds 100 per cent. If the Repub-
lican voters of South Dakota really
favor tariff revision they must elect
members of the legislature who will
elect tariff reformers to represent the
state in the United States Senate. If
majority of both Houses of Congress
was composed of Republicans pledged
to tariff reform, such might be accom-
plished, but as long as few
luke warm Republican tariff REFORM
ers attend Republican caucuses and
refuse to join with the Democratic
members in forcing tariff revision,
such declarations in convention are
either child's play or intended to de-
deceive the voters.

The address of Festus J. Wade be-
fore the Tennessee Association of
Bankers pointing out the enormous
increase in the trade of the South and
the exploiting of its natural resources
makes an extraordinary and wonder
full showing of the increase in mate.
rial wealth The Southern States have
made this great progress, although
handicapped by the weight of tariff
protection which has plundered her
people of hundreds of millions of dol
lars without any corresponding return
All the South buysis increased in price
on an average Al per cent. which stat
istics show is the ayerageincreasedc cost
of living since the Republican t; riff
was imposed in 1897 to protect the
trusts, hardly any of which combines
are located within her borders. Cotton,
her great staple, has no protection, nor
could it have, if the South was to have
the making of the tariff SEIZED ules for
the surplus, after supplying the United
States is sold in the wo rlds markets
at the price the foreigner spinner is
willing togive. The protection to her
few sugar and rice planters is a curse
to her people making them pay dou-
BILE price for those necessities thur
helping to add to the increased cost of
living of all her people. The tariff on
lumber mainly protects few North
ern timber spectators that have in
vested in her forests and plumbers
every one that builds and all that rent
by adding TO the cost of building.
With the tarif burden laying its
hand on all her people the prosperity
OF the South speaks eloquently for the
industry and thrift of her people
With the tariff burden lightened, so
as to produce onl y the necessary reve-
nue. for the government, how much
greater would have been her material
prosperity. The numberless millions
extracted from the pockets of white and
black alike would have been added to
the further improvement of her fields
and cities and under such greater
freedom her growth and greatness
would be the wonder of the world.

1t was recently given out by the
Associated Press that 100 editors on
their way to Chicago had been poison
ed by eating canned beef and chicken !;
butt investigation it turned out
that every man who was affected had
put water in his wkiskey, while many
of them had eaten neither beef nor
chicken. The whole trouble was due
to ignorance and disorderly coaduct.
Not single Democratic editor was in
volXed in this affair. Democrats are
more careful about mixing good whis-
key with poor water.

In May 1906, $4,000 immigrants
landed in the United States, and the
number for Jure will probably be
still larger. More than a million have
come within the past year, and 1000
600 will probably come this year. This
vast increase in the number of poor
people, and the contemporaneous con-
centration of wealth in the hands of
the few, who have been favored with
monopolies and other privileges by the
policy oflthe Government under Re-
publican party, imakes it possible to
organize two hostile forces that will
sooner or later clash. 1t is ominous,

The debate ON the proposition to

The Board of Public Works, compos-
ed of Gov, Dawson and other state Of
ficials are up against hard PROPOSE
ton in the matter of the assessment OF
railroad property in the State and it
looks as if the County of Berkeley was
going to be the testing point.
The board increased the railroad as
sessment in Berkeley county from
about $500, 900 to S4 900, 900 and them
tax laws compel the County Court city
Corporations and Boards of Education
to lay levy that will not produce a
revenue exceeding last year by per
cent. This high valuation will bring
the levy low to keep the revenue down
to the lawful limit, but the railroads
have brought suit in our Circuit Court
by their attorneys, Faulkner, Walker
and Woods contesting the assessment
and the matter If decided by the court
against the railroads, will pc carried to
the United StatesCourt and it will like
~ take five or ten years to reach the
court of final resort and get decision.
This means that the railroad taxes will
be tied up for that length of time and
how will the county and the city pay
its expenses during that time? Where
will the money come from to run
our schools?
Now just watch the old Republican
machine try to get out Of the ugly hole
it has fallen into,
1t looks as if there will certainly be
a very large deficit and the Governor
and his board must meet the trouble.

one of them has confessed. He was

Tossing. His name is Gethro, and he
says:."I agreed to buy Republican
votes, got the contract, and bought
