MILLS ASHAMED OF HIS PARTY.
Author of Tariff Bill Says Democracy
as 1t Should Die.

Austin, Texas, June 13.-Roger
@. Mills, former Senator from Texas
and author of the Mills tariff bill,
has lost faith in the Democratic
party. In a letter to a political
friend in San Antonio. Mr.. Mills
says:
"The present exhibition which is
being made In the United States Sen
ate by Senators calling themselves
Democrats and assuming to read out
OF the party all those who do not
bear the mark of their approval is
shameful. In fact, it is a very diff
cult matter in these degenerate lat
ter days for a real Democrat of the
old school, one who had convictions
and belonged to the party for the
sake of the principles which it repre-
sented, to have any idea at all as
to what a Democrat is.
1.-The party as now represented at
Washington might as well pass out
of existence, for It has survived its
usefulness and only serves now TO
make a humiliating spectacle to
make honest Democrats hang their
heads in shame. / believe that men
who think like we do would rather
see the party die than to see 1t furth-
er prostituted to serve the uses of
the base men who now seem to con-
troll it."

AFTER THE SUGAR TRUST AGAIN
Federal Grand Jury Investigating its
Workings-Presidcn Taft Interest
ed i'm the Matter.

Washington, June 11.-President
Taft is determined that light shall be-
let in upon the workings of the Su-
gar Trust. and IL is a result of his or
ders that the Federal grand jury In
New York has begun an investigation
OF the trusts settlement with the
Pennsylvania company by paying
millions in cash and securities. To
bring about action. the President
called Attorney General Wickersham
into consultation over Sugar Trust
affairs. The Department of Justice.
spurred by the President. had been
examining the evidence developed In
the Pennsylvania Companys suit
against the trust. and there In good
ground for the statement that IL ad-
vised the President that criminal ac-
tion against the big Havemeyer con
cern under the Sherman antitrust
law was beasible. The presentation
OF the case to the Federal jury in
New York yesterday was the first de-
velopment In the result.
Opponents of the Dutch standard
and the trust have interested Mr..
Taft to the extent that he is said 10
be convinced that the tariff barr
against sugar should be materially
lowered. The unearthing of further
scandals in the workings of the trust
on top OF the raw weighing frauds
would be powerful and probably suf-
ficient ammunition in the tariff fight

"Go SOUTH, YOUNG MAN"
South Will soon Become Most Pros
porous Agricultural Community On
Earth.

Earth.
Washington Post.l
Last year the nine cotton States
produced 561,104.000 bushels of
corn, against 402. 5000 grown by
the eight Northern States of Penn
sylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Kansas, the Dakotas and Col
orado. and the Territory of New
Mexico, Delaware, Maryland, the Vir-
ginias, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Missouri, the last three important
grain States, are not computed among
the cotton States in the foregoing
calculation.
This year the cotton acreage at the
South is less by 3.5 per cent than
last year; but the land devoted to
corn exceeds that of last year by l.
100000 acres. This is a good sign.
When the South grows its own grain
and produces its own meat, some
thing 1t has not yet done, 1t WILL
have become the most prosperous
agricultural community on earth.
But there is another advantage
When the South devotes attention to
grain growing 1t will necessarily lead
to better farming. There will follow
conservation of the soil through crop
rotation, and peas and alfalfa will
enter largely into the farm economy
This will necessarily bring about cat
tie and hog breeding and feeding, and
ultimately the dairy, the cheese fac
tory. sheep husbandry, and poultry
farming. Already truck gardening
and fruit growing are prosperous in
dustries at the South, where numer-
Gus successful canning establish
ments are located.
Cotton will some day be the sur
plus crop, and grown on land that
will produce two bales an acre. With
intelligent crop rotation and careful
seed selection, it will be an easy mat
ter to raise 1 100000 bales with less
labor on half the acreage planted last
year that produced some 100000
bales.
The word in Iowa is, "Go to Can
ada, young man." and thousands
swarm into the Dominion and volun-
tarily become subjects of King Ed
ward. The cotton South, even that
region of it east of the Mississippi
River, is an infinitely more inviting
field. The climate is all that can be
desired, and the diversity of crops it
admits of affords advantages to be
found nowhere else on the North
American continent-grain, cotton,
the grasses, tobacco, sugar, rice,
truck patches, fruits such as peaches,
melons, berries, figs, and in some
sections the citrus varieties. Later
will come livestock breeding, dairy
ing, and wool growing.
Go South, young farmer of the
Middle West. Her soil and her sky
invite you. So do her people.

The only proposition with refer
ence To the pending bill on which the
Democrats have even attempted to
unite. has been an amendment or a
proviso providing for an income tax.
IL there tx to be any addition form

duties TO raise sufficient revenue TO
run the government. shen ne fairer
tax could be imposed than one on
incomes. But IL Is believed b. many
that the income tax proposition ts
Just now being unusually exploited TO
attempt TO muddy the waters" and
10 call attention from a proper re-
vision OF the tari1 duties on the
necessaries of life.
The trouble with the present larin
Law that IL does not raise sufiieient
revenue is not because the rates are
not high enough. but because they
are too high. When 4 tariff duty is
placed on sugar or any other product
that Is used by all the people 1t will
necessarily increase the price of that
article. and the higher the duty the
higher 1t Will raise the price OF that
article and the more revenue IL will
raise unless the rate lis raised 10 a
point so high that IL will prevent any
importations OF sugar. When this
point Is reached there will then not
be any sugar imported. and therefore
no duty collected on the same from
the Treasury; therefore We see that
duty can be placed SO high on
sugar or any other article as TO pre-
vent the raising of revenue; yet the
price of the article to the consumer
goes up and up and up. and this ex-
ira price paid by the consumer goes
not into the Treasurer but into the
pockets of the Sugar Trust.
Now, therefore, IL the Democratic
stand the tariff or were sincere in
their professions of revenue duty and
of protection to American consumers.
they would to-day advocate a reduc-
ton of the duty on sugar and every
other necessary down TO a revenue
point, and IL they should succeed in
getting such reductions they would
not only greatly reduce the price of
sugar and of other articles, but they
would at the same time fill the Unit
ed States Treasury to overfowing
with customs duties, SO that ii would
not be necessary to tack on TO the
tariff law an income tax or a stamp
tax or any other kind of extra taxa
ton in order to raise revenue for the
government. In short, the way to
raise abundant revenues for the gov
ernment is to lower the taxer on the
consumer by lowing the tarin rates
on the necessaries of life. Let this
be done, and the strongest advocate
of an income take would then not
favor it, because it would then be un-
necessary. In short, the income tax
scheme seems to be used to draw at
tention from the exceedingly high
rates In the tariff bill and thereby let
the consumer be fearfully taxed by
tariff rates and then be taxed in ad-
dition with an income tax.
These plain, simple, but momentous
facts are gradually being understood
by the great masses of the voters OF
the country, and when they are there
will be a reckoning with both parties

Memphis, Tenn, June 10.-A
frenzied demonstration Of welcome
by the men In Gray for the son OF the
man who conquered them marked the
final scene of the nineteenth reunion
of the United Confederate Veterans
to-day. It took place during the pa
rade. In the reviewing stand stood

render OF Lee But finally a cavalry

man, KY, old and grizzled, peered
steadily at General Grant a moment.
Then he turned In his saddle and
yelled:

SON."
With one of the old-time rebel
yells, the division remnants of For
est's cavalry charged upon the stand
and jostled one another for an OPP
portunity to shake the hand Of the
son of their old-time enemy. From
that moment every gray clad veteran
who could reach the stand rushed up
to shake hands with General Grant.
The stoky army officers gray eyes
filled with emotion as he murmured,
God bless you all. boys! God bless
you," giving each a cordial hand
grasp.
Battle-torn banners were grouped
at his feet and waved over his head
as salute. One old officer rode up
to the stand, seized General Grants
hand and kissed him on the cheek, ex-
claiming: "God bless you, boy!
fought your father. of whom you are
the image, but he was a gallant, mag
unanimous foe, and I love his son."
More than one veteran was in tears
as he saw the famous Federal chief
tain's son so touched by the recep-
tion. 1t is doubtful If any other
Northern man, even a President, ever
received such an ovation as that
which was spontaneously given to
General Grant by the Confederate
veterans to-day.

practically ended and veterans spe-

months. This bitter fractionalisn
had its inception In a political cam
paign in which Newman and Prich
ard were opposing candidates.
Newman was tried few weeks agt
for Prichard's murder and was &C
quilted. This served to arouse ever
more bitter feeling among the rela
tives and friends of Prichard and ths
Newman family and faction.
