1t has been evident for more
than two decades past that Eng
land would cease to be the world
and that the United States
would then take her place,
while she became protectionist.
The same reason (self-interest)
that would induce England to
abandon sree trade would cause
the country to adopt it. The
only civilized nation which ever
has advocated or ever will advo.
cate trade without handicaps of
any kind, absolutely free,is the
one nation which, for the time be-
ing, out runs the rest in large
quantity and low cost of produc-
ton. This one nation is now, or
soon will be, the United States.
We are outstriyping the rest
now, despite the tariff. This
makes our manufacturers indiff-
erent to the foreign trade.
We are, nevertheless, reluctant
ly, sending our goods abroad
and underse!ling other nations
while we are charging TO our
own people double the price we
charge to foreigners, but even
we prefer the home trade, be,
cause of the enormous prof
it's. Such people do not need
either gifts or charity, and
should not have them. The sit
alton is intolerable and will not
be injured much longer The

Congress First Congressional District.
GEORGE T. MITCHELL
E. S. GAMBLER, JR.
THE LAST APPEAL.

The many friends of Mr.. Can
dler will be gratified to know
that no alarming conditions have
developed at any point in the
district and while all agree that
Mr.. Mitchell will possibly poll a
larger vote than any one else in
the district could poll against
Mr.. Gambler it is pretty general
ly conceded that in this race he
will only be able to round up an
especially complimentary vote
which of course does not endan-
ger Mr.. Candler's chances for
reelection. Mr.. Mitchell and
his friends would, of course, be
delighted with success this time,
but they hope especially to estab-
lish Mr.. Mitchell's ability to car
ry the district two years hence
over any opposition, thus making
him the logical successor of Mr..
Gambler, and that, too, without
opposition. .-Corinth Herald.
The above from Mr.. Candler's S
home paper, The Corinth Herald,
is clearly an effort to bolster the
declining strength of Mr.. Can
dler among his home people. The
appeal to give him one more vote
before he is retired carries with
it the admission of weakness and
the statement that "he, (Mr.
MitchelD will only be able to
round up an especially compli-
mentary vote, which of course
does not endanger Mr.. Candler's
chances for reelection" is one
that cannot be crammed down
the throats of those who are in a
position to know the feeling of
the people of the district. That
Mr.. Gambler and his friends rea-
lize fully that he has but the
slimmest of chances to win is ev-
ident by the admission that he
will not attempt to again return
to congress, but will leave the
the race to Mr.. Mitchell two
years from now without oppo-
sition." This is all very nice and
kind, but Mr.. Mitchell is in the
race to win this time and from
the reports that come in from
every section we believe he has
already won and will be nomina-
ted by safe majority. Of course
it will not do for his friends to
let up in their efforts to give him
a rousing vote, but in this his
home county their energies should
be renewed and give him a very
handsome and complimentary
vote. We feel confident they will
do this and in doing so will make
his nomination doubly sure.

 It seems strange that the death angel in passing our way should remove one upon whom so much depended. But he that doeth all things we'll hath spoken and al- though it may be mysterious to us, we bow in humble submis- sion to His will. Mrs. Moore was a daughter of the late John Jones and Mrs. Myra Jones She was consistent member of the Baptist church. She was a duti- ful wife, a devoted mother and an obedient child. Her will was the will of her God. She leaves a husband and seven children, and to those we extend our sym pathy and the sympathy of the entire community. Her friends,
