If the state OF the English market

turers and exporters, and when English
prices were advancing an effort were made
TO take advantage Of the market some
good orders would certainly result. A very
slight advantage In price would cause trade

class OF article low frelghts should be OBJ

writing from Cape Town, says that
~ when the enormous quantities OF gar
vanized sheet and corrugated iron used
in South Africa are noticed in the form OF
iron buildings, iron headings, iron ROOFS
iron fences, iron tanks and iron gutter
lings. II is very surprising that some rea-
sonable proportion is not manufactured In
the United States of America.
''In 1905 the declared value OF corrugated
iron imported into Cape Colony amounted
20 S3337l3. OF this amount Ssl2,Zz4 was TOT
that OF British manufacture the quantity

sumption in Cape Colony alone was val

small preference does not seem adequate

itbo landed price exceeded that OF the
English by only about s1.S2 per ton. 1t is
stated by those in the trade and handling
very large quantities OF corrugated and
sheet iron that IL IS just matter OF
price. II the American manufactured iron
could be delivered at equally low prices as
she English, a fair portion OF this trade
would go TO America. The American price
must necessarily be low enough TO offset

The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1907-09-07

And it IS fact that several Of the
states have called upon the Federal
government to assume jurisdiction in
regard to some matters which, pre-
viouslY, had been considered to be
under the exclusive jurisdiction of the
states, of which the quarantine regu-
lations are specific instance. The
several states found themselves I'm
able to cope with the situation and
invoked the aid of the Federal gov
ernment.
And = seems probable that such aid
will be invoked in reference to some
other matters which are at present
in a very unsatisfactory condition;
for instance the divorce evil. All the
states have signally failed to secure
any satisfactory legislation in refer
ence 20 that matter; as, on account
of the contradictory legislation of ad-
jacent states, their laws are easily
: evaded and held for naught. The
. tendency to contempt for state au-
thority IS greatly strengthened by the
idiotic legislation of several of the
Southern legislatures, which seems to
be inspired by absolute hatred of
railroads, insurance companies and
other Northern contrivances for de-
spelling the South

Williams, because it claims that
there are no hundreds of Republicans
in Mississippi. In this it is entirely
wrong; there are not merely hun
dreds, but thousands in the big lum-
Der camps of the southern part of the
state, and, doubtless, many of them
voted for Williams, as Varda was an
inveterate foe of the lumber interests
and had worked strenuously against
them.
The New York Sun displays sim
liar ignorance of Southern politics
when it says:
"Tishomingo and Yalobusha on the

justify the Yazoo statesman in having
at least one suit of clothes sponged

Now "Yalobusha on the Loosa-
coona' admires statesman in direct
ratio to his "frowsiness," and John
Sharpe was well aware of the fact.
He may consent, now that he has
been elected, to- have one suit
sponged and pressed, but he will re-
serve that for Washington use, but
he won't go staggering AROUND
among his constituents disguised in
store clothes.
