London, Aug. 20.-Not only are
British trades union standing cut
almost so1idIy against the suggestion
that free trade be laid aside for pro-
tection, but the leading bankers, mer-
chants and business mem of London
are equally antagonistic to change.
AT meeting held recently in
Queen Victoria street, and attended
by THE best KNOWN British financlers
and some of the most prominent mer-
chants of London, there was formed
q City Free Trade association. TINS
body will remain independent OF the
political PARTIES, concentrating all ats
strength and energy to perpetuatnng
England's free trade policy.
The best Indication of the British
wOutkingman's views ON the taGdn
question lis that there is no labour
member Inn the House of Commons
who lis not In favor of free trade, and
no single trades union has declared
for protection At the trades unhon
congresses held during the last few
years resolutions i'm favor of free
trade have been carried by enormous
madoritfes.
The position of the bankers as to
tariff reform in England is set forth
im am interesting manner inn the mandr
festo ISSUED at the meeting in Queen
Victoria street, which i'm part, reads
ais follows:
1--WE feel strongly that no case has
BEEN made out for reversal of the
policy of free trade. 1t has been
alleged by those who wish to return
to protection that our foreign trade
is declining, that we are becoming
impoverished as a nafiom, and that
our industries are being ruined by the
competition Of our rivals. We reply
that, since the adoption OF free trade,
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1909-09-23

our foreign commerce has progressed
ais lit never did before: that our ex-
ports-we take single example -
which amounted i'm 1850 to $500, 000,-
900, amounted last year to 81 1856, 000,-
900, far exceeding those of the great
protected states; that, so far as our
being excluded from protected mar
kets, even high tariffs cannot and do
not keep out British goods, while in
neutral markets free trade gives us
advantages such as NO protected coun
| try cam secure; THAT, instead of be-
coming Impoverished, we have steadi-
| ly and rapidly increased in property
and wealth; and that the develop
ment of our industries, as whole
has made immense progress since we
cast aside the sha,ckles of protection
| Gin 1846.)
| 1t dis doubtless true that either ma
tions have p1tospered also, and lit lis
to our INTEREST that they should do
so. 1t lis equally true that this pros
perity has in some cases come to
pass under a protective system. But
whIen we consideN that all nations
now adopting such system there
are but two or three whose prosperdt.
lis i'm any way comparable with our
own, it becomes obvious that protec
tion cannot be the dominating facton
im tnlis result
| Apart from the objection of prinr
ciple to which protection lis open
there are also, i'm our Judgment, Sc
rious practical objections to it, The
proposed taxation of imported food
and manufactured ARTICLES would mo-
only raise the price of the necessa
ries, the comforts and conwendence<
of lille, but 1T would impose ON the
consumer burden far beyond The
revenue raised; for, if a duty is inn
posed ON articles partly imported ani
PARTLY produced at home, part only O
the tax paid by the consumer finds
its way into the Golfers of the state
the rest goes to swell the profits Of
the producer. It would diminish the
purchasing power of the home marke
upon which national industry and en-
ployment mainly depend. And in 81
far as it checked our imports, 1
would automatically restrict our ea
ports and diminish the volume of on
foreign trade

FARMER WON HIS CONTEST.
New. York Press.


When Ira Young,a fanlmer of South
ampton, L. l., was informed that two
rival potato digging machines were
being exploited by their owners as
the best I'M the market, he chewed a
straw, thought things over and deoi-
ded the next move was his. Accord

of the machines, inviting them to tes

Almost 500 farmers gathered yesten
day OF see the demonstration in Ira's
potato patch. Young urged each ownea
to do his level best with his device
and not let his rival Guido him.
The contest, under the eyes of the
| farmers perched ON the rail fences
was keen. One machine not only dug
the potatoes, but picked them up and
bagged them. 1t did everything save
peel and boil them. The other dlgga

PUT MORE BAGGiNG ON YOUR
COTTON.

Southern Farm Gazette.
Again we would urge our cotton
growers to put ON bagging and ties
to the full per cent limit this scar
son. If you put ON less than per
cent-that is to say 80 pounds ON a
500-pound bale, 226 on a 450-pound
bale. etc.,-1t lis simply a matter Of
giving the cotton buyer good cotton
worth II IL cents a pound when he
is paying you only for bagging and
ties averaging about IL cents a
pound. This dis a matter which our
farmers have been entirely too slow
to understand.
The gist of the wholematter lis
simply this: The price of cotton is
fixed by manufacturers who buy on a
basis of per cent deduction for
bagging and ties. That lis to say
they figure ON 30 pounds tare fog
each 500-pound bale; and ON each
allow a price for the gross bale suf-
ficient to pay for only 470 pounds net
of lint cotton. In other words, the
price paid per pound for the whole
500 pounds lis lowered so as to allow
for 80 pounds talrje.
Now, the average farmer INSTEAD of
putting 40 pounds of lint cotton and
80 pounds of bagging into 500
pound bale, puts in Ats pounds of cot
ton and p pounds of bagging there
by putting in extra pounds of IL IL
cent cotton worth 81 instead of s
pounds of bagging and ties worth %
CENTS.
Moreover, all the evidence goes to
show that If the farmer does not put
ON 80 pounds tare to each 500-pound
bale, the exporter adds the extra
or 10 pounds in second hand bagging
and makes the extra dollar that real
ay belongs to the farmer. AT meet
Ding of the foreign manufacturers with
representative of the Farmers
Union inn Washington City year on,
two ago, the manufactures inquired:
"Why lis lit that when cotton leaves
the farmers gin it has only 20 to %
pounds of tare, but has 81 pounds
by the time lit reaches us?'' This
is the explanation.
Flt ON baggfng to the full 6 per
cent limit. Mr.. Ransom Hilton, a
we'll known North Carolinian, illu-
strates the matter very plainly, by
saying Jim sending a box of meat to
market and you knew they would
knock off thirty pounds from the
gross weight for the weight of the
box; wouldn't you be foolish to use
them 10 pounds of meat instead of
TO pounds Of box?"
Even so it lis with the faNmer who
gets pay for cotton ON a basis of 80
pounds deducted for bagging and ties
while he puts ON only 80 pounds.
Put ON all the bagging and tiles you
cam buy for 3 IL cents a pound and
sell for IL IL cents.
