the transportation of fractional silver
and minor coins, as has been the custom
for twenty-nine years.
Secretary MacVeagh has issued a cir
cular to officials OF the Treasury calling
attention to the failure OF Congress to
make appropriation for payment of trans
portation charges on fractional silver and
minor coins, and canceling all former
regulations on the subject. The failure
to make an appropriation was intentional
on the part of Congress, which acted
upon the recommendation of the Treas

The Southern railway may tell us
that 1t Is now maintaining a farm and
publicity department. True; let that
work continue. What we propose is
along different, and. in our opinion,
much more effectiye lines.
The three railway systems may say
that If they go into this publicity cam
paign with South Carolina each of the
other States served by them may call
for similar cooperation. For the ben
eft of those States and the railroad
we hope the calls will be made The
road could not possibly spend $3.50,

returns half so great.
Would the legislature accept the CO.
operation Of the railroads in this mat
ter? The State can not answer with
positiveness; there is but one way of
finding cut We do know, however.
that when the suggestion was first
offered interest was manifested by
several candidates for the legislature
who were subsequently elected. The
plan will have the favorable consider

If South Carolina takes the initia-
tive in such a campaign at this mt
ment when she has made $9O,0OO,0U,

stirring corn growing movement, the
press of the country will give the lit

publicity that no amount of money

Put Party Before Country.

1t Is the wonder of the world that
we have stood so long, with growing
wealth and population. The whole
secret of our stability is that until
the Civil war the exercise of the fed
eral power was kept within narrow
bounds. The whole danger to Il
stability now is that since the Civil
war the party which has generally
been in power has tried to push and
has pushed the exercise of the fed
eral power further and further into
fields which Washington and jefferson
and Hamilton and Jackson and Web
ster thought ought to be kept purely
under state control.
The Republican party has found it's
interest in forwarding this movement,
the interest, that is, of a party, not of
the country. 1t has used the tariff as
n instrument. 1t has used the cry
Of new nationalism" as another.
1t is time to stop, while the Just bal.
ance of power between the states and
the United States Ear still be restored
and preserved.-From a speech by

clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts Of
his body, and then one came on his
chest. worse than the others. Then I
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end Of about a
year and a half Of suffering he grew
SO bad that l had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton.
and was hardly able to walk.
MY aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I
sent to a drug store and got a cake of
Cuticura Soap and a box of the ONT

well. He has never had any sores

That Dexterous Tariff.

The Aldrich-Taft tariff, most malo-
dorous Of a long line Of cruel tariffs.
Endorsed by Mr.. Roosevelt as a meas
ure in the interests OF the American
people, contains some marvels Of
craftsmanship.
The sugar trust, which Mr.. Roose-
welt refused to prosecute, although he
had the same evidence hat the Taft
administration used as its basis Of
action, imports annually into the
United States more than $50, 000, 900
worth Of raw sugar. The duty on this
is 65 per cent. or about one-ffth Of the
entire customs dues collected by the
United States on all imports.
The annual importation of cut dia-
monds, which can hardly be consider
ed a necessity, amounts to SIS, 900, 900.
The duty thereon is 10 per cent.
The millionaire who brings dia-
monds from Europe to his wife or
daughter pays less duty on them than
the workingman pays on sugar. Is It
a square deal?
Is a tariff that contains such unjust
and dishonest provisions fit to be in
dorsed by any political party or by any
politician that seeks the confidence of
the people?
