TIE SOUTB AND THE TARIFF.

These are sad days for the oldfashioned
/. Southern editors who have preached for gen
Grafton the iniquities OF the protective system.
They have maintained with ferVor that PRO
lection IS robbery and that the South has been
tie chief victim of tariffs framed to stimulate
the manufacturing industries of the North,
while cutting off the South from the benefits OF
free exchange Of cotton and other agricultural
products for cheaper European merchandise.
The Southern economists used to describe the
martyrdom forced on their section by the pro-
Iective system with much anguish of soul
as Mr.. Bryan displayed later in plcturlng the
crown Of thOrns thrust on the head of the
producing classes the country over by the up
holders Of the single gold standard How many
millions Of periods dripping with rhetorical unc-
1ion have been launched by Southern editors
and statesmen exploiting the expressions OF
tariff taxes laid TO impoverish the people of the
South for the benefit Of the favored Northern
industries,
Nowadays that sort of argument seems TO be
as dead In the South as clamor about the
.'crime Of '73" or philosophical justifcations OF
the right OF secession The Southern news
papers do not know where they stand on the
tariff question any more than the Democratic
party generally can prove by the votes of its
representatives In Congress whether it is for
or against protection. Southern Senators openly
0eAs lhe eApAc4t Instructions or the last Demo-
cratic national platform and say that Demo
cratic tariff professions for the last twenty
years have been nothing but fraud and hypoc-
;risy. What is the old-fashioned Southern editor
TO doG Must be also pluck up courage TO con-
fess that he was all wrong about the inauity
and mpoiicy Of trying TO protect and foster in
tdustry wherever possible. in the hope of reap
sfng ultimate national benefits? Must he, too.
wake up and be '-modernized"?
The process Of readjusrment IS interesting
and not q little bewildering Here for instance,
IS South Carolina newspaper, "The York
Vile Enquirer" already far on the way toward
complete conversion 1t confesses itself some
what mysfihed by Senator TfIlman's recent

THE TREASURY.

The Treasury's operations for May resulted
in a deficit of S5,453,0O0. They show. how
ever, that conditions are gradually improving.
The receipts for May were $53,3 1872 000-a gain
Of $10600.000 over the receipts for May, 1905
Expenditures increased about 81 600, 600, that
the net gain was about S6,O00O00. The deficit
for the eleven months Of the current fiscal year
is SCI, ,s57, 900 June may be expected TO bring
in a surplus, since even IN year of depression
like 1907-0S there a surplus In June Of
more than 100000. The deficit for the twelve
months may possibly fall to S9o0O0O0O.
The gain in customs receipts noted IN March
and April has continued. Customs collections
were SS400o00 greater this May than they
were in May. 1908. The ordinary revenue Tor
the full fiscal year will reach about SGO0-
100000 In 1907 OS the ordinary revenue was
$3.50 S95. 600 In 1906 '07 It was $685., ,140 900
and in 1e05t06 II was S594, ,454 900 The volume
of imports for 190j-'0G was taken by the Ways
and Means Committee Of the House Of Rep
resentatives as a basis for estimatin customs
revenues under the Payne bill for 19O9'10. The
Senate Finance Committee took the volume for
1o06'07 as basis for calculating income under
the Senate bill. The House Of Representatives
apparently used the more conservative measure:
for there are few indications now that next
years revenue will show an increase of S63-
100000 over this years. The Senate's draft as
1t stands, is not likely to produce enough
income 70 meet the Treasurys obligations
either in 190910 or in 1901, unless appropr-
ations are cut vigorously all along the line next

FIVE YEARS AT PANAMA.

1t is now possible to review with accurate and
complete statistics the achievements of the first
five years of active American occupation at Pan
ANA. It was on May f. 1904, that the United
Stats took formal possession of the unfinished
canal, and all work done there since then is
therefore TO be credited TO the account OF this
country. As a matter Of fact, real construction
work was not begun by the American engineers
until more than year later For when we
took possession nothing was being done there ex-
cept by few hundred laborers il the Culebra
cut, and for many months thereafter our ener-
giles were devoted to sanitary work and explora-
ton. There have also been some delays caused
by changes of engineers and of plans. In these
I'VE years the enterprise has been under the con-
troll Of three different canal commissions and
under the technical direction of three chief en-
gineers- We might also say that there have
been three separate plans OF construction The
preliminary works comprised the rebuilding of
the railroad across the isthmus, the repavtng Of
the streets of Panama and largely of Colon. tbe
construction of sewer and water systems in those
cities, the building Of roads and clearin. Of
swamps and jungles all along the line of the

"The greatest service to the nation, to every
"state and city, to-day would be the substitu-
..tion for term of years of law enforcement
"for law making" says Mr.. James j. Hll.
What is wanted from all. both great and small
is a spirit of obedience to the law. In self
governing democracy law enforcement Is nearly
synonymous with voluntary observation OF the
law. Perhaps if the people took the laws more
seriously they would make fewer of them.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
 FOR ONE PENNY

Washington. December 23-tSpecial.)- Christmas good will and New Years good wishes fairly radiate from the great build ing of the war and navy departments No structure devoted to the arts of peace has ever sent out much of the Christi mas spirit as is being scattered so lav- ishly from this grim headquarters of war Il all comes about because this building is the distributing center for a pretty red white and green stamp bearing a minia- ture crimson Geneva cross with q grow ing Merry Christmas in midst of green holly. This little stamp with the spirit of David is the avowed foe of that great captain of death," tuberculosis or consumption. The little stamp is un- afraid and is raising several hundred thousand dollars for the fight against the dread destroyer There is not merely one. but many of the stamps, for more than 100000 have been asked for. and they cannot be supplied fast enough to keep up with the demands coming from all parts Of the country.
 The stams are not really .stamps.,, they are holiday 'stiekers' for holiday pleasure and holiday business. They don't carry mail, but any mail will carry them" They are furnished at the cost of production by the American National Red Cross, of which President William H. Taft IS president. The stamps are sold at cent each by various state Christmas stamp committees, all of the profits to ha lad in, So you see that every 1-cent stamp makes three people glad. The one sending the "sticker' on letter or package is glad for he knows the receiver will be glad. and he knows also that some one sick with consumption will be helped to get well or that some we'll person will be aid- ed in keeping well. The one getting i, will be doubly glad for the joy that the little stamp has already given to the sender, and for what it will give to that unknown one. The unknown will be three times glad for the sake of the sender's joy, and the receivers pleasure and his own good. And all will re- joice with those happy ones-business men, club women and other folks in most of the cities and many of the towns and villages of your state and the rest of the states where they are serving on the local Christmas stamp committees
 If a school, or club. or church, or a business house, or an individual will use some Of the stamps or get them to sell to their friends then they send sl or more and receive one stamp for every cent, or they may ask for any desired number of stamps agreeing to forward the money to the committee after the stamps have been sold
 In North Carolina cores pondence should be addressed to Dr. C. A Julian. Thomasvile. and in South Carolina to Dr. F. C. Williams, Columbia
 For life and health and happiness, is the message of the little stamp. and not only at Christmas time but all the year round as we'll
