F. other necessaries. II the tariff on
paper is benefitting the paper trust
/ and enabling that conscienceless
monopoly to extort excessive profits
from the publishers, it is likewise
true that the steel trust and dozen
other tariff protected trusts selling
the necessaries OF life, are doing the
same thing.
Why not take the tariff of all trust
made or trust controlled goods? Why
make the publisher the. only bene-
6ciary of tariff reduction? Paper and
wood pulp ought, Of course, to be on
the free list. But so should any num-
Der of other necessaries for which the
people of this country are being forced
to pay excessive prices because of the
robber tariff
The Republicans who favor free
wood pulp are, like all other advocates
of protective policy, inconsistent.
1t all depends upon the viewpoint.
Gen. Hancock was not very far wrong
when he said that the tariff question
after all was largely 4 local issue.
The Republican administration is
conspicuously inconsistent in this mat
ter of tariff on lumber. 1t is spending |
millions on forest culture and at the
same time, because of the lumber
tariff. is causing the forests to lose
in the way of the destruction
of trees. Pulpwood is fast becoming
prohibitive in its price. Indeed the
advanced cost of this material threat /
ems a collapse of the paper business.
In the meantime Canada has stu
pendous supply on hand, but the Re-
publican policy waves aside the ten

PHOSPHATE.

Figures published in our news col
umns this week show the enormous
value of the phosphate industry to
Maury county. The product shipped
from the county last year brought a
revenue of not less than $1,000, 900.
There Is but one county in the State
in which the coal mined is worth
more than this sum. There are not
over a half dozen counties In the rich
mineral sections Of East Tennessee
where the mine products of 1907 ex-
ceeded in value the phosphate
shipped from Maury county, and the
shipments do not represent the full
value of the product for the supply
on hand at the end of the year was
much greater than at the beginning
OF the season. This was due to the
financial furry of November and De
cember, which reduced the demand
and stopped shipments.
The best wheat crop ever produced
in Tennessee was estimated by the
Department of Agriculture to be worth
$11 OOO, 900 and wheat is one Of the
chief products of Tennessee SOIL
Thus the value of Maury county phos-
phate was equal to one-ffth of the
entire value of the States wheat crop
II was equal 70 one-sixth of the value
Of the States coal production in 1907
II is only by comparison that an &C
curate idea of the value OF
the industry can be obtained.
Compared with the value OF
other products of the State, phos-
phate for the limited area In which IL
is produced is the most valuable IL
is easier mined than any mineral IN
the State.
When it is remembered that the
area Of Maury county IS
confined to comparatively small sec
ton the true significance of the hg-
uras above is revealed If phosphate
were the chief product of the county,
rs coal is in the great mineral oeit
pf Eastern Tennessee, its value would
not appear so great, but 1t is only one
IF the numerous revenue producers OF
This section. 1t can no longer be de-
ned that Maury county Is the most
and the richest county in
the state and its resources will COM
mare in value favorably with those OF
anv area of like extent in the South.
