Those men who favor tariff reform.
but balk at anything which touches
their local interests. will have some diff
fculty in making It appear that they
occupy a consistent attitude. The
Democratic theory is unquestionably
"tariff for revenue only" Senator
Rayner, of Maryland. who appears to
be one Of the strictest Of the strict. on
purely revenue lines. said few days
ago that It was doubtful IL an out and
out free trade proposition would re-
ceive a vote In either branch of Con-
gress. There is no demand for any
thing except the lowest possible tariff
taxation. consistent with the actual
demands of the government. Certain
iy. Democrats do not ask for a tariff
that will shut out all foreign competi-
tion and give the whole field here at
allow them to charge our own people
more for their wares than they sell for
In foreign markets? This is the case
with numberless articles and II Is
species of favoritism for one class and
of oppression for another and much
the larger class that ought to defeat
the party responsible for 1t. The Re-
publican party is unquestionabiy guilty
of this discrimination against the con-
sumers and who have to pay for It by
expenditure of additional toll and
money.
1t is singular however that the men
who have lumber, or sea island cotton.
or iron. or other articles. in their dis
tricts. think 1t Is necessary to keep up
a stiff tariff. while they think that the
men who have zinc, or some other
scarce articles, in their districts. are
all wrong for wanting high tariff. II
an article that is made and sold In
this country can be sold on equal terms
with the same articles from abroad.
men. even II moved by local consider
atoms. should hesitate long before vot-
ing for a tariff that makes 1t virtually
prohibitive rate. We can sympathize
with the sentiment that demands re-
duction In price of the articles made
by those who demand free raw mate
rial. II the manufacturers get the free
material they should correspondingly
reduce the price OF their goods and for
that reason free hides should go along
with lower tariffs for articles made
from leather.
The tariff is the one great question
on which there should be distinct is-
sue taken by the Democrats against
the Republicans. 1t is the one great
opportunity for perfeSting Democratic
unity and our leaders in Congress will
be solely to blame II they fail to so
act as to bring the party solidly to-
gether for the next campaign.

CONVENTION MONTH .

It would seem as If all the American
world had become imbued with the
convention spirit in this good month
of May. Proceedings of industrial or
CARNATIONS. religious conventions and
all sorts of fraternal bodies take up
goodly part Of each days news in
the daily papers. In Alabama last
week, the Episcopalians held their an
nual council. and thfs week the Daugh-
tiers Of the confederacy, the Odd Fell
lows. the Knights Templars, the Bank
ers. and perhaps some other bodies are
holding their annual meetings. Be-
fore the month Is over the knights of
Pythias are to have their great gath
ering outside the State. The most no.
table meeting Is that of the Southern
Baptist Convention. now in session at
Louisville. KY. It Is a great body and
composed OF 1000 or more delegates,
while thousands of others always at
tend the sessions. Another great re-
ligious meeting will be the Southern
Presbyterian General Assembly which
will convene in Savannah. May 90.
Great meetings in the interest of river
and harbor Improvements, miners
meetings. railroad rrainmen. lumber
men, hotel men and other interests are
being now held or scheduled to take
place during the month. There is good
reason for the selection of May for
convention gatherings. 1t is the pref
test and sweetest month of all the
year.

west, agents are now in Virginia and
perhaps other Southern States trying

New York. they are wanted in brick

In the North where a negro cannot get

go up there have to get back to their
old stamping grounds as best they can.
Just now the virginia movement is
seriously interfering with farmers in
their planting arrangements. 1t has
been the case here in Alabama, that the
movement OF negroes from the planta-
tions to town and coal mines and saw

They never left the state. but gave up
work for which they were especially
fitted for another kind. which did not
prove exactly what they expected. In
many parts OF the South the negro
population is much larger than that OF

sion so as to lessen. in some places, the
number of negroes and increase in
others. much good would be the result.
