SENATOR McLAURlN.

The Advertiser is in receipt of a
copy of HON. A. J. McLaurin'S re-
cent speech in the United States
Senate ON the subject of the tariff.
1t lis a calm, logical and dispasstona'te
discussion of the subject,replete with
facts and unanswerable arguments
in favor of a decided lowering of tar
| tiff duties 1t lis we'll worthy OF a
place among the economic classics
and should be read by all who desire
to be informed upon the ever pres
emit and peTTpleXing problem OF the
tariff. His address was closely lis
tened to by all the Senators, as is
the case whenever he makes a
speech, without interruptions CIR quer-
ulous questionings. 1t is notable
THAT his address and his efforts
caused the Senate to place cotton
tagging on the free list, which sew
eral other distinguished Senators
had from time to time erdeavored
i'm Vain to accomplish. Senator Nc
Laurinl ranks as one of the strongest
and most influential members of the
upper body. His brilliant mentality
profound scholarship and thorough
grasp of all economic subjects and
problems his calm and digrified bear
ing, uniform courtesy, and freedom
from ostentation and pyrotechnflc
fanfaronade, have won for him the
admiration. esteem and respect of all
his colleagues, and the country at
large, irrespective of party afftl-
iaaions, thus placing him i'm far.
better position to accomplish things
and serve his constituency than
would be a blatant fire. eater, who for
brief time might amuse the galle-
ries. but whose influence with the
membership of the Senate would be
absolutely nil. That McLaurin widl
be called upon to serve another term
at the expiration of the present one
is a foregone conclusion. The people
of Mississippi are not wishy-wasEay
They are thorough-gr grained i'm the old
time democracy and are loyal to thell
statesmen who have shown their true
loyalty to them, as ''Unlcle Anse' has
done. Like the illustrious and lar
mented Lamar, George and Walthall
he has obtained a secure and endur-
ing place i'm the grateful hearts OF
the people, from which no amount
of chicane political buster and wind

THE OLD CAPITOL.

The suggestion of Maj. R. w. Mill
saps that the old capitol building and
grounds be purchased by public sub
scripion, the building to be convert
ed into something ON the Battle Alb
hey order and the grounds made in-
to a Confed Park, lis well worth
considering. 1t seems a good solu-
tion of a question: that is continually
boiling up, and the final disposition
must be made some time. Maj. Mill
saps proposes to head the list with
a generous amount, and the money
could be raised as suggested. There
lis no reason the state should not do
nate the building and grounds for
such a purpose and let the people
put i'm repairs and keep it i'm order
after the changes are made.

ticles upon which tariff was placed.
Then, after that, it was stated ln
the bill that "the following articles
should be exempt from duty" And
when the senate was considering the
articles exempt from duty Senator
McLaurin offered his amendment to
add bagging for cotton.
The Congressional Record of June
2Sth, page 1910, of this session con-
taims the following:
'Mr. McLaurin Mr.. President, l
offer an amendment to the bill
''The Vice-President. The amend
nsant will be stated.
"The Secretary. 1t is proposed to
add new paragraph, as follows:
"49715. Bagging for cotton, gun
ny cloth, and similar fabrics su.ta-
Bile for covering cotton.
"The Vice President. The ques-
ton is ON agreeing to the amend
ment proposed by the Senator from
mississippi.
"The amendment was agreed to-
Paragraph $50, which had been
passed over without action ON it,
proposed to put tariff ON bagging.
After the amendment of Senator Nc
Laurin had been agreed to putting
bagging en- the free hist, the follow
ling ON page 1871 of the Record on
the same day lis found:
"Mr. AIdrich. The amendment of
fered by the Senator from Missfss-
ippi (Mr. McLaurin) necessitates
striking out paragraph $50 from the
dutiable list.
"The Secretary Page 122, Para
graph $50
''Mr. Aldrich ask that the para
graph be stricken from the bill.
''The e-President. The Sena-
tor from Rhode Island moves that
paragraph $50 be stricken out.
"The motion was agreed"
The fact that the House refused
to agree to the amendment, and that
the committee on conference took
it off the free List, cannot detract
from the credit due Senator -McLau-
rim for his successful efforts to- have
lit adopted by the Senate
1t would seem that every patriotic
newspaper should accord to Senators
and Representative of its own state
the merit that properly belongs to
them anr that nobody who is a friend
of the cotton producer should rejoice
i'm the fact that the conference COM
mittee refused to consummate tine
good work done by the Senate upon
the motion of Senator McLaurim.
