STATEMENT IS SIMPLY UYTaE.

The assurance of the pert Mr.. sher-
man, Republican netniuee for vice
president and a member OF Speaker
Cannon's rule committee, was at n
rate freely displayed in the course of
his acceptance speech. En- uphlodirg
Din glevis,n he took occasion to say
that when Il revenue tariff has boon
the law adversely and want have been
our portion" This statement is simply
untrue.
In the modern days of the republic
Walker tariff of 1915 stands alone as q
revsnue tariff. It may be said to have
remained the policy of the country
down to Lincoln's administration, a
period of Is years. Those years were
years of exceptional growth, content
nent and prosperity. No panic OF the
1873 sort occurred in that period. The
mild reaction OF 1857 is all that can be
quoted against tina revenue tariff Pc
except in Wall street.
These unmistakabls panics occurred
during the protection per1od-1873,
1898 and 1907-not one during the rev.
enus tariff period. Whether the stand
patter and Joe Cannon toady of Utica
knew these facts and deliberately sup
pressed them or whether he was ignor-
ant of them, it Is difficult to say. He
placed himself in one or the other hole
by his insolsnt acceptance speech.
If Shnn1H ha n nm hor,1 that <h~
Wilson tariff CT 1894 was not a revenue
tariff measure. It was far from it. Yet
under it no panic occurred. 1t was a
little nearer the revenue line than the
Morrill, tariff, that's all. 6 AS q matter
of fact, there is not Il particle of evil
dence that protection has promoted
the growth Of the country. while it is
beyond dispute thai it has taxed and
is severely taxiugs the nanny for the
benefit of the Jew.
Mr.. Bryan ex piainei at Dos Moihes
on Friday the Democratic tariff po-
sition. He did it with the lucidity and
power, that he is master of, and in this
connection it is we'll to quote his con-
Guiding paragraph. He said: 1.-THE
whole aim of our party is to secure
justice in taxation. We believe that
each Individual should contribute to
the support OF the government in pro-
portion to the benefitssswhich he re-
ceives under the protection of the
government. We believes that . rev.
enue tariff, approached gradually. &C.
oording to the plan laid down in our
platform, will ~equalize the burdens of
taxation, and that the addition of an
income tax will make taxation still
more equitable. 1.-THE Republican party
is to have the support OF those who
find a p~ecuniary profit in the exercise
Of the taxing power, as a private asset
in their business, we ought to have the
support of that large majority of the
people who produce the nations
wealth in time of peace, protect the
nations flag in time of war, and ask
for nothing from the government but
even-handed Justice"

THE;ITRUsTs.

The econ of the series OF addresses
which MIR. Bryan has promised to de-
liver during the campaign,in which he
will, az it were, single-shot the lead
ing issues before the people, was de-
livsrsd in Indianapolis today, on the
occasion of the formal notification of
Mr.. Kern, his runningmate.
Again the ARGUS regrets its inability
to publish Mr.. Bryan's c~haracteris-
tically strong speech in full, whieh is
given Us through our splendid tele-
graphic Hearst news service, but we
connected extracts, showing hat Mr..
Bryan has been giving t~irelsss research
and deep thought to the main issues of
this campaign shat SO vitality affect
the American masses.
In his Des Moines speech, last week,
Mr.. Bryan addressed himself to the
tariff question. In his speech today
he discusses the tnriff-protected trusts.
It is a strong, pointed, manly express
sion of the party's position on Trusts
that are made possible, and only so,
by the high tariff policy of the Repub-
Iican party.
1t is an argument which cannot be
combatted that the Republican party
is SO Intimately entangled with the
special interests which have occurred
privileges and immunis1es in h past
in return for campaign contributions
that 1t would be difficult, If not i'm
possible, for the party to redeem its
pledges to reduce the tariff, if the party
leaders were perfectly sincere in their
professions Of willingness to do soft Is
equally unanswsrable thai the Repub-
lican party has boon for ten years In
complete control Of all ths government
tai machinery and in that time has
had ample opportunity to revise the
and yet has wofully failed to do SO.
This being true, what special reason
can be assigned which will convince
the people that the Republicans are
more sincere now than they have been
in the past?
On the contrary it is a suspicious
circumstance hat while the Demo-
Gratis pledge themselves to make public
in advance all campaign contributions,
the Republicans will do no more than
promise to make them public after tho
election. It may be some satisfaction
fer us to know after the election Just
what special interests it was which
corrupted the election and got away
with the benefits to be derived from
their contributions, but 1t has no re-
straining influence in the meantime,
and therefore becomes worse than a
mockery.
Tariff revision under a Democratic
administration, supplemented by an
income tax, would mako at least a
genuine beginning equalizing the pub
lie burdens, and towards the sound
and statesmanlike policy of a revenue
measure, with only incidental protec-
ton. Such being the ase the only
hope Of relief from the mother o.
trusts which lies at the bottom of al
our evils, is the election of the Demo.
cratic candidates, who will give us rea.
tariff reform.

Killed by His Playmate.

Spartanburg, Feb. 15.--Charles
". Hammond, aged Is years, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. p. Hammond, of
this city, died early this morning as
the result of wound inflicted by
parlor rife, which was accidentally
discharged while in the hands OF a
playmate, John Montgomery. About
ten days ago the boys were shoot
ing at target near young Ham
mond's home, Montgomery handling
the rifle, when the gun was acciden-
tally discharged, the ball entering
Hammond's right thigh. 1t was not
thought to be serious, but later an
abscess formed on one Of the arter-
les, and to-day the wound proved
fatal. The sad death has cast a
deep gloom over this community.

SO far as to ask him what he would
do lie he was elected to the Senate
this year, as he said he was thinking
of running for that place. He said
he would resign III the question was
raised and was decided against him.
Now, how could i with this knowl-
edge have accused him of holding
two Offices or OF trying to get ready
to hold two offices?' simply
meant to convey the idea Indicated
above, that IL th.re was no ruling
on the matter, am college trustees
were allowed to lie members of the
house we would have a deplorabIe
state of affairs. reiterate that idea
here and now, over and over.
AS to my holding two Offices last
year, when was trying to get our
county above the quarantine line,
think Mr.. Mann will hardly find one
lawyer of any character or reputa-
tfon In this State who will agree
with him. made inquiry of fifteen
lawyers in this city about that mat
ter, and every single one OF them
held that the idea is incompetent;
that was simply an employee or
iaporer and In no way an officer of
the State, and that the position was
in no way in violation of the Con-
'stttution. am not at all ashamed
of the work l did, and am rather in
clined to think that never did any
thing that was of n ore real benefit
to the county. l may say here that
If all the counties had made as good
showings as did Oconee we would
now be above the line. We will be.
apt to get out this year.

MULE DROWNED, BOYS FROZEN.
Trying to Save Mule, Two Boys arc
Almost Frozen to Death.
(From the Elberton Starr


Sidney Frost had a mule to drown
III Wahatchie creek on Monday, Feb
ruary 9th, at a ford on private
road. The mule was hitched to q
top buggy, in which were two boys
viii Finn, white, and Sherman
Tact, colored. AS soon as the team
reached the main current it was
washed down stream about fifty
yards and lodged against raft.
Notwithstanding the freezing wea-
ther the white lad swan around to
the raft and held up the mules head
In an attempt to save the animal from
drowning. The negro couldn't swim,
SO he climbed upon the rear axle
and by standing upright kept his
head and body above the cold, swift
waters. The mule finally drowned
In spite of Will Finn's efforts to save
1t. The buggy was uninjured.
The cries of the two boys for help
brought neighbor to the scene, who
by means of long pole managed to
rescue the two boys rom their peril
Gus position. Wher brought ashore
they were SO nearly frozen that they
could not walk.
