The Congress OF American Physi-
clans and Surgeons was in session
IN Washington last week, and while
the most OF their deliberations we're
entirely too deep TO the outsider to
follow. there was one branch OF the
discussion Of the most vital public I'm.
terest. 1t was the section Of the con-
gress devoted TO the study and proven
ton OF consumption. Almost all OF
the progress In popular knowledge Of
this dreaded disease in the past few
years has been due to the National
Association. II has branches IN m.

BISHOP sArrERLEE's ADDRESS.

What was about as nearta sensation
al address as a conservative minister
often makes, was delivered last week
by Bishop Satterlee, the Episcopal
Bishop of Washington, at the conven.
ton of the diocese just held. II Is
an address likely to gain vide pub
lefty and create talk in the North.
though In the South the acts are too
we'll understood TO cause any com
ment except from the fact that a
bishop uttered them. He devoted the
major part of his address TO the race
problem and said, as everyone in the
southern part of the country is keen
ly aware, that IL was the most press
ing problem before the American peo-
pie. What he said that will hurt and
what is sure to cause a lot OF talk
in the North was that the negro race
was distinctly an inferior race, mental
ly, morally and physically, that suf-
frage was a failure, having been tried
for forty years and having failed ut
terly TO make equals with the white
race out OF people who we're radical
" inferior. He said some more true
but not at all diplomatic things about
the childish efforts OF the race TO
grasp social equality through money.
land holding and education. and added
that while he would cheerfully give
the negro race all the advantages in
these lines they could have nothing
that they could do would ever make
them anything but what they we're
a race below the standard Of the
white.
Further. and this is likely 70 cause

FARMERS UNPROTECTED.

It is perhaps not generally known
that there was imported into the
United States during the fiscal year
1906. 7O,S79,179 pounds of cotton of
the value of S1O,S7S,4SS, which
makes the price 10 $40 cents a
pound in the country from which Inn
ported. It is estimated that there will
be imported from Egypt alone this
year about $4,000 bales of cotton
which it win cost about S1O,OOO,O 900, as
the Egyptian cotton being long staple
of the sea-island variety, it sells for
much higher price than our upland
cotton. This imported cotton only
completes with our sea-island product
and as there is not sufficient of that
quality raised here to supply the de-
mand, 1t is probable that the price
of the home product us not reduced
by those imports.
AS there is no tariff on cotton the
Southern planter is not protected from
competition, but as he is now receiv-
ing a fair price for his product, with
a rising market, he is making money.
The Republican theory of protecting
the wheat farmeF. with a tariff tax Of
25 cents bushel is shown by the low
price of wheat during the past year,
TO be useless, because no product can
be protected from competition, by
placing a tariff tax on it, OF which
there is a surplus that must be sold
abroad. Our surplus of both cotton
and wheat must be sold in the markets
of the world in competition with the
surplus of other countries and the de-
mand in those markets regulates the
price of the whole crop wherever
grown and wherever sold.
The tariff tax ON wheat was not in.
GUIDED in the Dingley law to protect
the wheat farmer, but as a deceptive
snare to lure him to continue to vote
the Republican ticket and Republican
leaders who enacted a tariff on wheat
knew they were trying to deceive the
wheat farmer when they put 1t into
the law. They would have likewise
placed a tariff on cotton to try and
deceive the cotton grower, but as
these were all Democrats such tar.
III tax would have been politically use
less.
The growing political independence /
Of the farmers of the wheat,growing |
States has been brought about by
their discovery that protection does
not protect the farmer, but does im.
pose a heavy tax on him by the high
prices that the tariff protected trusts

TALLAHASSEE LETTER.

Tallahassee, Fla, May 2O.-The
Legislature now has only eleven work
ing days in which to complete the
work before it. The calendars Of
both the Senate and House are the
largest the writer has ever known to
be the case so late in the session,
and it will be simply an impossibility
to "clear the docket" Two pending
bills made special orders for this
week--dralnage and State life insur-
ance-will consume much of the re-
naming time. and more than one
member is doomed to see some of his
pet schemes die upon the calendar,
One of the greatest mistakes peo-
pie make in reference to legislative
matters is in not acQuainting' their
Senator and Representatives as to
what they would like enacted into law
earlier in the session. Take, for in
stance, Alachua county. Several APP
peals have been received during the
past week for relief by the passage
of bills, whereas the facts in the case
should have been made known to the
Senator and members of the House
early in the session. This class of
legislation is hard to get through at
any time. and is never permitted to
be 'railroaded" through when money
is to come out Of the State treasury.
1t would seem that the State should
be as honest with it's citizens as the
commonwealth requires the people to
be in dealing with each other, but
this is not the idea of a majority
of the committee on claims. The
State sold an individual a tax certi-
ficate on certain piece of land in
Alachua county, upon which it was
afterwards found the taxes had been
paid and the certificate should have
been cancelled If such transaction
had occurred between individuals the
injured party could have obtained re-
dress through the law, but the State
cannot be sued, so a bill for relief
is introduced. The committee on
claims, however, promptly recommend
that the said bill do not pass" claim
ing that the purchaser should have
known what he was buying before
4e paid for it. SO the State takes
S2416 of a poor mans money and
gives him a worthless piece Of paper
for 1t.
The weather has been very pleasant
during the past week. except for two
days rain. The clay Of this section is
muddy during wet weather. and travel
on foot is very disagreeable. In this
respect we prefer the sand OF East
to the clay of Middle Florida. |
