If all the money wasted for strong drink were spent to pro- vide good homes and home com. forts. the child labor problem would much more easily be solv- ed. The father who spends his money at the saloon cannot sup port his wife and children, and so child labor becomes almost a necessity in some localities. un- less the family becomes a public charge. Lillian NJ. N. Stephens.
 That the saloon is an arch enc my to childhood, we have long been aware. The abuse and neg lect, the inheritance of poverty and weakness and disease which lntemperate parents infiict upon thelr children, and are facts whose significance their familiari. ty should never cause to be over. looked. But the actual close re. lation between the liquor evil and the child labor evil until recently has not been clearly pointed out. The struggle between school and factory for the possession of the child has often been pictured with the mighty saloon factory left out.

Trusts and Tariff.

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
AS to whether or not the aboli-
ton of tariff on all trust made
goods would in any way curb the
trusts is best seen when we reason
out the developments as they
would appear. We have already
seen that a fierce competition
would soon begin after the open
ing of our ports.
This competition can result in
but one of two things, namely,
the survival of the fittest, which
are the trusts, or further COM
binations, which means new
trusts.
In competition, prices are
always fixed at the lowest price
at which the market can be sup
piled, and the trusts running on
larger scale with all the
economic savings of larger bust
ness can supply the market at a
price below that at which the
small concerns can produce.
Prices are cut until the small
producers must fail or sieze upon
the only other alternative which
is open to them, that of forming
combinations among themselves,
that is new trusts to compete with
the old ones. Should they choose
this, rather than immediate ruin,
the competition will last longer,
being much more disastrous in
results and in the end the least
powerful and efficient will be
driven into bankruptcy. But
here again, the losses to each by
such fierce competition may be so
great that they will combine
their concerns, already trusts,
into one all powerful trust to cope
with foreign competition for
their own existance.

The first apparent result from
this international competition
will be the immediate bankruptcy
of every American producer,
trusts and all, which are engaged
In those unprotected lines OF
industry which are not self-sup-
porting iii America. This is true
because foreign producers can
supply the market at a price
much below that at which
American producers can, since
they get raw material and labor
cheaper and would have all the
advantages in our markets which
the American himself enjoys.
After we would have thus entire
ly killed those industries in
America and we're at the mercy
of foreigners, what could we do
but again re-erect our tariff wall
OF protection?
In those lines of industry
which are self-supporting here,
the weakest trusts like small con-
Germs would fail, as a result of
international competition from
free trade, which in turn in
creases the strength of their
survivor. Should this survivor
be an American trust we would
then have Worlds Trust" to
handle instead of such as we now
have, and it being within our
borders we could in no way
control it by tariff.
Should this survivor, now a
worlds trust, happen to be
foreign trust, which is very pro-
bable, it would amount to adding
the powers of former American
trusts to those foreign world
trusts, which would be beyond
our control and which could
exercise a more arbitrary control
over prices than has heretofore
ever been known.
To meet this condition we
must either submit, boycott or
erect a new and higher tariff
barrier than we have. To submit
would be unbearable, to boycott
would be absolutely impossible
and impracticable because we
must have the goods, and still we
can not produce them at home in
the face of this foreign free
competition,
We are therefore brought back
to tariff and compelled to erect
Such tariff protection as is
necessary to re-establish the lost
industries in America.
But instead of these world
trusts being thus formed it is
quite likely that the competing
trusts of the different nations
would combine among themselves,
before competition became dis
tructive and form what has been
termed international trusts"
against which tariff would be of
no avail. These trusts would
form the most powerful organiza-
lions ever known, or conceived of,
in the industrial world because

WILL REMAIN IN CIVILIZATION

Ellen Terry is an English actress
who speaks fairly decent English.
She is IS years old and was born in
Coventry, where Lady Godiva,
dressed in freckle and string of
beads, rode through the streets,
and where Peeping Tom lived.
Miss Terry, whose front name is
Alice Ellen, and who is not Miss
Terry but Mrs. Wardell, having
married man of that name forty
three years ago, after. having been
divorced from a man named Watts,
or Bolts, is soon to perform again
in this country. She is reported
as saying: eve shall not leave
the civilized parts of the United
States. Our tour will Tot take us
further West than Chicago, nor fur.
ther South than Washington, !"
Therefore Alice Ellen, or IS it Ellen
Alice? will be reasonably safe from
Indians and white savages, and
will be greeted by audiences that
can appreciate her. Aunt Sarah
Bernhardt, who is also something
of an actress, is less discriminating
aud discreet. She has been in the
Western wilds and the Southern
jungles, and has penetrated the
wilderness as far as New Orleans.
She even peril rmed in a tent in
Texas. But then the Bernhardt is
only Frenchwoman, and only
ranks a few dozen points above
Alice Ellen as an actress.

Americas Will be Tobacco
Market.

The success attending the growing
OF tobacco near Americas this year
though upon small and experiment
tai scale, has encouraged others tC
that end and much larger acreage
will be planted next spring. Mr. Sven
denbory made an excellent crop
this year on his little farm one mile
west of the city and secured good
prices for it right here in Americas
the buyer going to his barn to in
spect and purchase it. Mr.. E. ]. Nc
Gehee, who is interested in tobacco
has leased a farm on Brooklyn
Heights and will plant five or ten
acres in tobacco next spring. Mr.
McGehee will go about the business
Systematically, building frames for
the proper shading of the plant dur
ing its growth. Considerable expense
is thus entailed in the growing of a
crop, but prices will warrant the out
lay. Americas has a we'll established
cigar factory which uses large
quantities of selected leaf tobacco in
the manufacture of fine cigars Al
present the factory buys its tobacco
in Cuba, Florida, and Connecticut, but
if it is demonstrated that as good to-
bacco leaf can be grown in Sumter
county fine market is already al
hand for the output of several farms

COMMISSION HAS
NO. JURISDICTION
Savannah Blocks Port Rate
Regulation.

SAVANNAH, GA, Nov 22.-(Spe-
ciaD-That Savannah has absolute
jurisdiction over the wharves and
docks of the Savannah harbor, and
that the city alone has the power
to regulate wharfage and dockage
rates, is the import of an opinion re-
ceived by Mayor Tiedeman from City
Attorney S. B. Adams yesterday
Ten days ago Mayor Tiedman re-
ceived communication from the
Hon. j. Randolph Anderson, division
counsel for the Seaboard complaining
that the State Railroad Commission
had ordered Seaboard Air Line Ter
minal Company to furnish the COM
mission with a schedule of the rates
charged on the wharves and docks of
the company in this city.
Mr. Anderson thought that under an
old statute the city of Savannah alone
has the right to regulate the charges
and exercise juridction over the ter
minal properties along the harbor.
Mayor Tiedeman referred the mat
ter to Judge Adams and after look
ing into the matter, the city attorney
came to the conclusion that the Sea-
boards attorney was correct.
In the event the commission makes
further efforts to exercise control
over the company, the Seaboard will
have the opinion Of the city attorney
to show that the commission is act
ing outside its jurisdiction in the en-
deavoring to exercise control over the
rates charged.
