The following from the l.on
doun mirror, 0; Leeshurg Va, i.
Illustrates very fairly the eatlnea-
ton IN which Hon 4ohn SHARP
Willialna is hold "away from
homo9;
John Sharp Wi.iiaoss, Who
was declared ii The Washington
Post sometime ago to ko Ssthe
NEST capable man, csrtaioly the
greatest debater ii the House, a
olall Of vast acquired knowledge,
a ready speaker and Il holy terros
to the other side," seems to he
meeting with considerable oppo
sitlon in his race for the Senate.
Besides these gifts above asclbed
to Mr.. Williams, he Is backed ny
a long brilliant career IL the
House, yet, we regret to say 1t,
great worth in a Southern nation
al legislator does not count ior
halt so much in his promotion as
do like gifts possessed by states
men from east and west. VIZ
mean to say that the Northern
and Western States promote their
able House Representatives to the
Senate and then keen. them there,
much oftencr than do the South
ern States, and long service al.
ways means greater power and
efficiency. 1t is true that we
have a few notable examples OF
long continued service in the
Senate from several Southern
States, and our beloved and able
Senator Daniels is one OF these,
but the long service Senate list
from the other sections is a very
much greater one than ours
For instance, Messrs. Aldr!ch,
Allison, Cullom, Frye, Gallmger,
Hale and Lodge, who were all
sent from the House to theSenate,
have already measured out terms
in the latter body alone that ag-
gregate 100 years, or an average
Of nearly twenty three years each.
No one Of the seven Senators
mentioned above displayed more
ability while in the house than
has John Sharp Williams, and we
can but hope that the people Of
Mississippi will show their APP
probation of his services by Civ
ing him the promotion which be
so richly deserves. We do net
know Mr.. Williams personally,
but as a national character We
feel the keenest interest in him,
aud as such we feel that we may
without apology earnestly cons
mend him to the voters OF
Mississippi.

One OF the most needed inns
proyements to Kemper, as well as
many other counties IN the state,
is better roads. a public meets
ing was held in Porterville on
the 18th inst, at which this sub
ject was discussed, and pointed
remarks were made by several
prominent citizens OF that thirty
ing little town. It is q matter
which cannot be discussed too
much, but something more than
discussion is needed.
And, appropos Of this subject,
the following, from an exchange,
might-be seriously considered by
the Board OF Supervisors OF this
county:
Tie board of supervisors o.
Pike county have taken steps to
force the saw mill men to do their
part towards keeping up the pubs
lie roads Of the county. It has
always been charged that saw
mills te&r up read worse than any
other class OF patrons, and that is
perhaps true. They haul heavy
logs with teams OF tour to. six
yoke OF oxen, and when a soft
spot is found in the road, right
there these loads make a hole
that is soon almost, il not quite,
inlpassable. Pike county has
passed an ordinance to the effect
that those wagoEers who make
ruts and tear up the roads shall
repair them Immediately. Fail
ure to do SO makes the offender
liable to prosecution i'll the court.

Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-22

ufacturers, protected by prohibitive
tariff on foreign cloth, were accorded
a compensatory one of 10 per cent to
offset internal revenue taxes paid by
them and another equivalent to the
difference between the cost of wool In
this country and Europe. After peace
came II would be natural to expect
that at least the compensation for the
internal revenue tax would be abol-
ished; but in the act of 1867 1t was
retained after the internal tax itself
had been taken off, and protection"
to the woolen manufacturer was in
creased instead of diminished. The
wooden schedule inflated above its war
basis, was not meddled with again until
1888. Practically about all of the trust
breeding Civil War imposts are with
us still.
The wooden illustration is worthy of
attention. as indicating the determine
tion with which all protected combina-
tions have struggled to hold advan-
tages once gained under pressure of
some temporary exigency after the
necessity for extraordinary artificial
help and stimulation plainly has been
seen to have passed. 1t is because of
their success in resisting encroach-
ments upon the monopolies they have
built up under the tariff and treacher-
ously to the true spirit of protection,
that the trusts today are able to prac-
tice extortion upon the home consumer
and undersell the foreign producer in
his own market. Professor Beardsley
of Harvard has we'll said that eff the
protected system is to be continued
the object of tariff legislation should
be to furnish adequate protection to
such industries as require it, without
the opportunity for monop-
oily abuses"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-22
CHEAP FOREIGN LABOR

Nv HEN the champions of the Re-
wv publican or "stand pat" policy
are on the "stump" to defent
their ruino1A methods the common cry
with them is the welfare of the Amer
ican workingman, hnd that protection
tends to keep wages up to the highes
notch, and that protection not only
protects the manufacturer, but pro,
tects the workingman from competition
with cheap labor.
A glance at the facts in the case
will show the fallacy of this latter
claim. In 1906 our exports of manu-.
factures were, in round numbers, ap.
proximately $7OO,OOO,O and the wages
paid the men who made these goods
were very much higher than in any
country in the industrial world. Es-
pecially is this true of such manufac-
lures as typewriters, sewing machines
furniture, saws, tools, builders hard
ware, scientific instruments, cars, car
riages, agricultural implements and all
the products of steel and iron, includ-
ing locomotives, engines and motive
machinery of all sorts; yet these ar
ticles were unloaded on foreign mar
kets and sold readily at prices that
met the prices of goods made by cheap
labor and in countries where absolute
free trade is the law.
1t is competent then to ask the men
of the stand pat" or Republican party
what possible need these maunfactur-
ers can have of protection against the
competition of cheap foreign labor in
the home market when they success
fully, even profitably, meet it in the
foreign market? This pertinent query
is respectfully referred to the gentle
men now busy in compiling the Re-
publican campaign book for next year.
That there is now an immense vol
ume of trade in exported manufac-
steadily growing no sane man will
doubt, and the only visible. reason
therefor is that the cheap, ill-fed labor
of foreign mechanics is incapable of
competing with American labor. 1t is
a fact decidedly in the class of en-
prizes that ill-paid labor cannot COM
pete with well-paid labor, and that the
ill-paid labor being least productive
is in the end most costly. OF all the
insincere and hypocritical cries in the
song of the standpatter" the cry for
protection against cheap foreign labor
is the meanest and has absolutely no
basis in fact.
