spirit and didn't get up to bark.
Some thought then this was the re-
suit of Southern climate. We know
now it was the result of Southern
free trade. We have nothing like it
now. Shall we go backward?
We should surely be reluctant to
which we have come from that di-
lanidated situation of poverty and
idleness and low prices to the pres
ent one where everybody Is profita-
bly, employed, the staple crop is dou
bled in price, other fran products
have values and will bring cash every
day in the year, and where we have
begun the development in foreign
trade by which China sends us twen-
ty-five cents pound for some of our
cotton in the shape of cloth instead
Of our sending the cotton to Europe
as we used to do at five cents a
pound.
The little duties necessary 10 these
great results are so insignificant as
compared with the magnitude of the
results that the tax is not worth con-
sidering.
That tariff policy which was work.
| does not fit modern-day conditions
Welded as many people became to
| them in the time of slavery, and by
heritage since, they must be given
up before the march of progress and
civilization as slavery had to be given
up.
Where the advantage of the people
warrants 1t, we should not hesitate
to lay prohibitory law.
Where the advantage at home is
now so great, we want tariff which
strictly represents difference in cost
here and abroad, plus a reasonable
profit.
Where a tariff is so high that, by
combine or trust, the excess over
cost and a reasonable profit may be
added to the price, thus laying a spe-
| cial tax upon the people, then that
tariff uoght to be reduced or abol-
| ished.
This latter case is the only one
! where Traditional tax burdens are
laid upon the people," Otherwise
the duties must always raise the
money to run the government with
other sources Of income) and this is
practically a fixed quantity. After
eliminating the excess tariffs which
1t is claimed some of the trusts have,
it is simply a question of how duties
may be made high or low as the peo-
pies best interests may be served
and yet raise the money to run the
, government
l have endeavored to show you
that the best interests Of the people
of the whole United States lie in
maintaining present duties on coarse
goods and in advancing them on
some Of the finer goods. l think it
would be we'll for your organization
to put the facts relating to your in
dustry and the indirect influence of it
! before Congress at the earliest possi-
BILE date.
The saving of the present price of
cotton is involved, any hope Of per-
manent increase in the price of cot

to interfere here in the South with

Battleship Committee Reports.
Besides the discussion of this mattcr|
and the passing of the resolution, the
committee on the launching Of the battlc-
ship Delaware submitted its report. II is
as follows:
your Delaware batteship committee
has held two meetings and has discussed
the several features of this event as they
pertain to this board.
I'VE realize that the launching of the
battleship is more or less a state matter
ana the investigation of the subject as IL
has thus far been pursued has been with
the object in view Of collecting informa-
ton, in order TO present the same TO the
Governor-elect and the Legislature of this
State.
The date of the launching Of this ves-
sci has been set for Saturday, February
6. 1909 at $50 a. m. This date has been
submitted TO the Navy Department and
approved by them. There has been some
rumors to the effect that this date would
be changed but we are positively informs
ed by the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company under date Of De-
cember 81. 1908, that they do not anticipate
any contingency which will require a post
ponement of the launching. This COM
munication is in reply to a special let
ter forwarded by your committee IN which
we stated that information had been for-
warded to us that the date would be
changed.
I'VE have also taken up with the sew
eral transportation companies, the mat
ter of special rates TO Newport News
and have received a general rate of $500
via Baltimore. This rate is subject to
change and reduction depending upon the
number in a party. which are set at ten
or more persons. This rate. via the Aler-
chants and Miners transportation lines,
includes berth. The time of launching viii
permit those desiring to attend the launch-
ing to leave Baltimore on the evening
of Friday. the fifth OF February, about
4.3O and arrive in Newport News about
100 a. m, on the morning OF the launch
ing permitting an all night sail on the
Chesapeake Bay.
''rhe all rail rates and rates via Cape
Charles have not as yet been furnished.
1T is impossible for your committee
to recommend a definite program TO be
followed by the members of the Board
of Trade. who will attend the launching
until the matter has been taken up with
the State legislature in order to make
our arrangements I'm conjunction with
them as far as possible
1T is earnestly desired that all citi-
zens of the city. whether members Of the
Board or not. attend this great national
event in order to make the delegation
from Delaware representative in every re.
