pared in every county, and these became
the local platforms on the tariff question
The campaign Of education went merrily
on. and the elections for the Twentieth
Congress gave the free traders the aseen-
dency that enabled them 10 pass the tariff
OF denominations. Although defeated be-
fore the country and in Congress, The
protectionists were heartened by the
workings of the act. and their campaign
after the law went into effect became
more aggressive than ever.
Perhaps the real reason for the tariff
OF denominations laws behind the year IN
which It was enacted. The agitation that
sprung up in 1926 for a revision OF the
tariff was brought about by the wooden
manufacturers. The cotton manufacturers
had got to the point where they could
| export cotton goods, and were not so
much concerned about a revision. At
first II was only a demand for increases
in the wooden manufacturers schedule.
But the lessons of a century have taught
that one industry cannot appeal for aid
and support from the government without
letting down the bars for demands Of a
like nature from others. II was the ex-
pansion Of the campaign from woolens 10
the whole list OF manufactures that led
70 the unforeseen political complications
and deep-laid intrigues that produced the
tariff OF denominations.
This tariff led to intense opposition to
protection IN the South. II also showed
the high water mark OF protection from
the beginning Of the government down
to the civil war. But. although II was
high tariff, II brought in revenue enough
to support the rDvern-nen. E-,,r+be- ,bo,
that, It laid the foundations for nullifca-
ton. and the troubles that were to come
thereafter.
There was certainly no law ever enact
ed by the Congress OF the United States
that bore such remarkable evidences of
insincerity as the act Of 1873 No one
was satisfied with IT, There is abundant
evidence that even those who had been
responsible for It became ashamed Of
their part afterward. Some tried 10
reconcile their action with their previous
and after records, but 20 this day the
Annals Of Debates stands out as a mute
witness TO the bad faith OF the time.
Up TO that period OF American history
the tariff question was not as much q
party question as II was a matter OF
geography. But thereafter politics crept
into the situation more and more. and
II was not long before party alignments
were made with respect 20 the tariff
Notification was In the air, even before
the passage Of this act. and it served only

Huntington. w Va, March 19.-De-
struction Of the schools Of Central City
Is threatened If the district composed OF
Central City and the independent school
district Of Huntington are consolidated at
an election TO be held next Monday 20
ratify the action OF the legislature in
merging the two districts.
Would-be incendiaries left a note with
thirty-two matches on the steps OF the
high school a few days ago. The note
says that if the two school systems are
consolidated that there are as many peo-
pie as there are matches in the bundle
ready to burn down the Central City

The authorship Of the note is puzzling

lieve that it is the prank Of schooIboys,
but there is so much opposition 70 con-

matches may have some Significance.
