HOW THEY BOOSTED COTTON.

Just as curious study in tariff
trickery it is worth while to look at
the method by which the senate fin
ance committee boosted rates on
cotton cloth while contending that
lit had left them unchanged. Inc
Dingley law had fixed an ad valor-
EN- duty. Certain varieties, for in
stance, were taxed 20 per cent on
their value Cloth worth cents a
square yard paid 2 cents duty on
every square yard.
I'VE don't intend to change this
duty at all" the candid gentlemen
of the finance committee said 1T
is high enough. But for practical
purposes of administration we nave
converted the schedule into series
of specific duties" That is. into du-
ties of so much for every square
yard.
Here is what the committee actu-
| ally did. 1t arranged a sort of step
ladder effect Cloth valued at from
! 7 to Q cents was TO pay = Il cents a
square yard, from 8 to 10 cents the
duty was to be 2 y cents; from 10 to
l121b cents it was to be cents, and
so on. If you will do little figuring
YOU can learn for yourself what hap
pened. Take the first step, Tor IN
stance, where the duty is . u cents
on cloth valued at from I to cents
Two and a quarter is 25 per cent OF
8. But it is 32 per cent OF Z. Ihat Is
on all cloth valued at Z or cents
or with fractional values up to
cents, the % per cent duty of the
| Dingley law had been advanced. Or
the 10 cent cloth the duty of cents
| is 10 per cent, instead of 25 pei
cent. as in the Dingley law, an ad
vance of so per cent. Yet the com
mittee declared there had been NJ

mercerized and three-fourths Of
the imported cloth is mercerized--

ample, is a large product in that
New England district whose interests
are represented as being always dia-
metrically different from and oppos-
ed TO the south
The peculiar position the south
occupies in this nation today is that
of the more American section. This
claim is no sectional boast. 1t rests
upon two things: First, upon the
greater amount of American blood
in our citizenship, because the south
has not received the tremendous
amount of foreign immigration that
| has come north; and, second, upon
the greater respect of the south for
| tradition. True Americanism can be

Gently let the cat out of the bag

| TEN is founded on the desire of the
| manufacturers to get more than is
rightfully coming to them, by cutting
off foreign competition and making
the people pay extortionate prices
The Mckinley bill was high, the
Dingley bill was higher, and the
Payne bill just passed is highest OF
all.
| Now. it behooyes the south to
play the part of little leaven that
will leaven the whole lump. AS the
more American section it must bring

THE SOUTH'S TASK.

! The echoes of the Bryan Bailey
debate in this state continue to be
heard throughout the country. The
! best democratic opinion is that Bry-
an was perfectly right in refusing to
carry the war out of Texas, because
la Joint debate would have tended to
/ disrupt the party. and that Bryan
I was right in answering Bailey in this
state. because in defending himself
to his constituents Bailey attacked
the Denver platform, raised new
national issue, and, as widely as he
was able. sowed dragons teeth as
seeds of party dissension to help the
interests and make trouble for the
future for genuine democrats in
their work to secure democratic vic
tory.
Says the Norfolk (Va.) Land
mark: Senator Bailey is opposed to
/ giving the country free trade in
/ southern products while heavily pro-
! tecting northern manufacturers of
those products, while Senator Bacon
| of Georgia and Senator Daniel of
| Virginia are of the same opinion as
| Senator Bailey with regard to the
matter" Now. this is an example of
the harm done by Senator Bailey and
/ the other protection" democrats.
! Under cover of southern patriotism
! they made il appear that they are
protecting the south when they are
helping the trusts and the interests.
General Hancock said the tariff was
local issue. That has long been a
Jest of political history. The tariff is
not even a sectional issue, but ma
( tional.
Answering the Norfolk paper, the
| Richmond Times-Dispatch points out
that Senator Bailey did not vote for
tsouthern products, as claimed, but
/ for products largely produced in
! New England. II refers to Senator
iTillman's statement that if there S
any stealing going on he wanted his
share. 1t will never do for the south
with its rich heritage of the names
| of Washington and Lee, TO descend
| to that low level. Replying to the
southern products argument the
Richmond paper continues; But
We have never been able to persuade
ourselves that the argument was
sound, or even frank. If 1t was a
/ question of tariff on some distinc-
lively southern product, like cotton,
| for instance, which southern grow
ers wanted taxed and New England
manufacturers wanted free, the
force of the logic would be much
palmer. But the chief schedules In
which southern democrats voted for
the highest duties that they had a
chance OF getting. lumber. hides And
barley. are not distinctively
srn products at all. Lumbn
