There is such a vOciferation of
comments anent the Tariff Bill Just
presented by the Committee to Con-
gress that we hardly dare contrib
ute our little voice to the bedlam of
cries heard pro and con over the
land. However, we rise to make
THESE simple assertions: We were
: born in Dixie, the cradle of Democ-
racy and rocked in that cradle and
warmed at that breast and under it
have seen the shackles of negro polit-
ical meddling struck off as well as
other benefcies. and we believe in
Democracy for deeper reasons than
its lily white platform. We believe
In that principle which was inlaid
when its keel was framed in the in
fancy ofthis republic, the plank of
Tariff for Revenue. Hence just
now we turned loose the remark that
rs pursuant to its other great plank.
that of States Rights, Democracy.
I'm the South where its still found in
its pristine purity has allied itself
with the issue of Prohibition which
inevitably means a great slump in
Revenues to the Federal Govern
ment by the licenses to the traffic of
liquor, so as the tariff is about the
only means of securing revenues to
run the national government, worth
while, we are not SO deadly opposed
to slight increase in the tariff list
as whole, while we do not believe
the prices should be figured on ba-.
sis OF securing monies enough to
provide for running the expenses of
the federal government making prop
err calculations for the reductions
which will insure during the prob
ably prevalence of the present bill
(its life) from further prohibition
victories. Calculate in such a way
as to reduce all that can be prudent
ly done, and gather sufficient funds
to keep the fiscal affairs of the IT. S.
Government on a stable basis, but do
not sail in and prescribe duties that
on the protective principle can but
heap up vast funds that will tempt
the administration to create more
Offices ayd raise salaries to take the
congestion off. What we will get is
the Payne Bill as introduced with
possibly some slight changes to its
text. !.

The editorial column of this paper
is not employed to present worked
over in a different word-dress the
thoughts of other minds than that
of its presider. What we endeavor
to say is our own thunder. feeble
though it may be; impressions ana
suggestions that come to us as we
float down the current of the river OF
human life. Of course this does not
mean to either deny or decry that
there are points of contact IN some
portions of ideas handled, with other
minds, but what we do assert is that
its our aim in this part of the paper
to reflect our own mental deductions,
All truth emanates from the same
source. i. e, that of the AlIwise and
Living God, and it reaches this world
through many finite sources, and
those who delve and think arc bound
to touch similar veins with varied
interpretations and expressions.
