TARIFF AND REBATES

A correspondent asks The Times
Dispatch why Democracy is opposed to
the tariff. For the simple reason
Democracy is constitutionally opposed
to class legislation, to bounties, to re-
bates and to all forms of government
favoritism. The protective tariff is
class legislation, under which the gov
eminent compels American consumers
to pay bounty to American manufac-
turers. Our correspondent is cited to
this simple illustration: Suppose a
pocketknife made in Sheffield, Eng
land, can be shipped to Richmond and
sold for 40 cents. But the government
requires the importer to pay a tariff
tax of 10 cents on every such knife
before 1t can pass through the custom
house at New York. This increases the
price to so cents. The American manu-
facturer could also sell similar knife
for 40 cents. and if it were not for the
tariff tax on the English knife COMPETE
ton would compel him to do so. AS it
is, he adds the tariff tax to the price
OF his knife, and sells it for so cents.
The tariff puts him in a position to col
lect from American purchasers a bounty
of 10 cents upon every knife that he
sells in America. Richmond Times
Dispatch.
How long will an intelligent Demo
cratic press continue to offer such
arguments as these against protective
tariff =? They are not only time-worn
but absolutely childish. To say that
legislation which inures to the benefit
of all the people is class legislation is
to state an absurdity. If the present
tariff was made only for the benefit and
is working solely in the interest of the
manufacturers, why is it that all classes
of our people have been doing better
during the past ten years than they
have ever done before?
There are but two positions that can
now be occupied on the tariff question.
These are Protection and Free Trade.
All our Democratic contemporaries in
Virginia resent the suggestion that
their party is for free trade. Even
the idol of the Virginia Democracy,
Senator Daniel, has declared for a pro-
tective tariff.
If the argument of our Richmond
contemporary about the cost of a
pocketknife he substantially correct in
figures it is manifestly incorrect in its
effect upon the interests of the Ameri-
can consumer. If the American con-
sumer pays the British manufacturer
40 cents for a knife, the consumer has
the knife and the people of Great Brit
tain have the 30 cents. If the consumer
pays so cents for an American made
knife, the people of the United States
have both the knife and the so cents.
AL the people are benefited by keep
ing our money at home.
1t has been clearly demonstrated that
the prosperity of this country is depend
ent upon the constant employment of
labor at a good wage rate. We have
had these conditions during the past
ten years under a protective tariff.
All classes of producers aud consumers
have been enjoying the highest measure
of prosperity. Well may that CORE
spondent ask ''The Times Dispatch why
Democracy is opposed to the protective
tariff % The Times-Dispatch, and no
Democrat, can give any practical,
substantial reason for such opposition.

The Genius, Not the Man.
NASHVILLE American.)


Daniel Webster was in the habit of
getting drunk. Why not exclude him
from the Hall of Fame? Great states
men, warriors, sages, poets, orators and
actors have INDUCED too freely in the
flowing bowl. Is their great ability or
genius to be denied recognition because
of this? The personal habits of men
must be Judged in the light of the times
in which they lived. In England ladies
of the court and fashion once swore like
troopers, and it was regarded as some
thing of an accomplishment Temper
ance men of today owe their sobriety
more to sentiment and the restraining
influences of environment rather than
to any inherent or superior virtue. 1t
IS not true that drunkenness ever bright
ened genius, for the drunken man is for
the time fool, but in the past men of
genius and greatness have often been
drunk
Poe was victim of intemperance
but he was not a common drunkard.
Even if he had been, it would afford no
reason why he should be barred from
the American Pantheon. He should
be honored as a poet, not honored or
dishonored because of his private and
personal habits. Even George Wash
lngton could not stand the test some of
the cheap modern moralists would
measure great men of the past by. We
should have to turn the portraits of
many illustrious men to the wall if the
spirit of the ''unco guild" or the "rigid-
ly righteous were to prevail. The
committee of selection has already
succeeded in making the Hall of Fame
something of joke. According to the
test set up, if Burns had been ar
American he would be debarred. Sc
would Byron. So would many others.

sentation. It will be two years before Greater Birmingham can be realized, and they will want then what was promised them to come in. For this reason I will be compelled to fight the passage of any bill which may result in the defeat of Greater Birmingham"
 Senator Nathan l.. Miller expressed himself as follows:
 "The government by a commission of three men looks to me like a good idea In the towns where it has been put into et- feet It appears to be working well, and if it looks like the people want it l would vote for the passage of a bill which pro- Nided for the local option feature. It of fers an economical form of government
 Representative Sam Will John said
 "I dc not think this matter should be discussed until next week, for what is said now is apt to be misconstrued. Per sonally the government by a commission of three men looks like very good thing to me, and intend to draw up a bill which l shall submit to the legislature. Through friends who live in cities where it is in operation l understand that it is working smoothly, and is in great favor, and l think 1t is a great improvement over the present system. A bill referring the matter back to the people of each mu- nieipality and allowing them to take
 
 idea"
 Representative l.. J. Haley made the following remarks:
 This matter has been studied over by me for several months and I have in |, tended to present bill to the next session of the legislature providing for submit ting the question to the people of each city upon petition signed by a certain number of qualified voters as to whether they prefer the commission or present ai- dermanic form. It has been worked sue cessfully in Houston. Galveston and a number of other towns, and I believe it will work here. and be more economicat than our present system. Anyway. the matter can be submitted to the people. and they can pass on it to suit them selves"
 Representative Lovelady said: T really haven't thought about the matter at all. and therefore can't say whether l think the government by d commission of three men is. better than the present system of Mayor and Board Of Aldermen or not. Don't know whether would vote for bill providing for 1t. but don see how there can be much ob- jection to leaving it to the people of each town as to, whether they want it or not Representative Urquhart is in New York and Representatives RagsdaIe and Glover could not be located last night

LEGISLATORS
 ALSO DIVIDED
Some of Them Have Already Been Thinking Along The Lines Suggested.

Members of the legislature from Jeffer- son county are also divided on the ad- visibility of the change. It appears. now ever that several of them have already been thinking along the line suggested. Here are some of the expressions: .
 Representative Jere c. King was com municated with in Huntsville last night and asked what he thought of it. He thinks the discussion of such a thing at this time is very apt to cut the string to his Greater Birmingham kite. and ex- pressed himself thus:
 tThe Greater Birmingham campaign committee of 2O have pledged themselves to the outside towns to see that they have fair representation on the City Council of Greater Birmingham. They are expecting a large council with an equal representa- tion with Birmingham; in fact, with d council of 40 aldermen. the outside towns would have 22 members. Greater Bir mingham Is still only figure, and even the discussion at this time of govern ment by commission of three men Is very apt to kill it. These outsiders are already getting uneasy about their repre-

FORMER MAYOR EVANS
 FINDS OBJECTIONS

Frank " Evans,a former Mayor or Blr- mingham said:
 "Mr. Percy's suggestions as to com mission rule of city government meets my hearty approval in many respects. As a student of municipal government and an attache to such governments ofi- cially in Georgia and in this state for 20 years, it became my duty to strictly oo- serve and diligently investigate methods employed in English and American cities. The conclusions reached by me were that double headed commissions are an incu- bus upon municipal progress and success that there should be one governing board to render account of stewardship, and that such board should be compen- sated for services rendered.
 ''I was talking this week with a cti- zen and a taxpayer of Galveston, Texas, where a commission of five control the city's affairs, and he told me that the opportunity for graft there was as great as ever before-and that the safety of the city rests simply upon the personnel of the five chosen men.
 q regard MT. Percy a lawyer of merit, of marked distinction and of remarkable acumen, but so far as law is concerned, he seems to have overlooked the fact that under the present city charter no man connected with the city government is allowed to sell goods, supplies or other things for the use of the city; and that on this accounta number of worthy men have recently resigned from unpaid posi- lions in our municipality. The law in that regard can be made no stronger than it is today.
 "Therefore it seems to me that the proposition is this: Is it better that 19 or even 4l men shall be held accountable for stewardship, with a police commission and a board of education making monthly drafts upon the city treasury. as well as those who are responsible for raising the revenue. or that three or five men should manage the entire affairs of the munich pality?

Mayor, Former Mayors and A.
 dtImtn Express Opinions on Recent Suggestion
MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE
 ARE ALSO IN SYMPATHY
Some Believe Law Should Be General With Provision That Cities Could Adopt 1t If
 They Wished.

The commission form of government for the city of Birmingham, suggested by Walker Percy in recent speech and in a letter yesterday morning to the editor of The Age-Herald, was the sub ject of conversation generally yester- day, rivalling even prohibition as a topic.
 The Age-Herald has attempted to gen erally test the public mind on the propo- sition, to find whether the idea is meet ing with general favor. While there is some opposition, it appears that the proposition will come up before the legis- laxure and if loud enough demand is raised it may be carried.
 Mir Percy said last night that he wanted the bill passed by the legislature at the special session. and to become eff feetive within about 90 days. He believes that what Is good for Birmingham will be good for Greater Birmingham, and the sooner action is taken the better.
