In Reply to 'Lumberman.'

We expected MI Eiieioe ~"
.tesss, the lumber-men, to rush 70
his defense and it gives US pleas
ure to publish the courteous re-
DIV to our criticism OF Congress
man Ellerbe's record. The writer
OF this article we hold in high
esteem and we are glad to find
him sufficiently broad-minded to
appreciate our attitude in the
matter and not impute to. us ul-
terror motives as many are prone
to do where there exists an hon.
est difference Of opinion.
Our friends article is quite
lengthy and to publish it in full
necessitates some economy in our
editorial space, hence We may
not be able to cover every point
as fully as we should like to do.

argument We have vet seen OF

lerbe's violation of his pledge and
his vote to protect the lumber in
terests at the expense OF the
masses of his constituents. We
think, however, our friends rea-
soning is based on wrong premises
as we shall endeavor to show him
in as short space as possible.
Lumberman" tells us that Mr.
Ellerbe's rate for S1.25 tariff
on rough lumber protected the
lumber manufacturer from Cana
dian competition on an inferior
grade of lumber for which there
is no local market. Moreover he
;NformS III that Canadian lumber
does not compete with Southern
lumber except the box and

discovered evidence - But with

don't think he can do it. Mr.
Elierbc himself makes no such
p-r,ension and the defense he Of
fers, unfortunately for him, con-

Mr. Ellerbe said in his speech
here that over thousand OF his
constituents had wired and writ
ten him urging him to vote for
a tariff on lumber. These men
he declared were lumbermen, hard
ware dealers, merchants and farmers
and every class of business. Many
"hardware-dealers, merchants and
farmers, even, own saw-mllls or
have financial interest in them.
We venture to say that every far
mer or merchant who wrote or wiz
ed Congressman Ellerbe to vote
against free lumber had more
money invested in saw-mills than
in their farm or store. Would
a sensible man in any line of busi-
nees who has to buy lumber ask
Congress to pass laws that permit
ted the lumber dealers to raise the
price of their product? We think

NE'AiN N..'ti i-N "'i-' va -
that the tariff on lumber does
not increase the cost to the To-
cal consumer. If the tariff on
lumber enables the lumber
manufacturer to get a higher
price for his product without
costing the. local con S u m r
more, why did Mr. Ellerbe con-
tend for a Sl.OO tariff instead
of sl.25 or $500 a thousand
feet? Certainly if that condition
really existed he should have
helped the lumber-man to a
still bigger profit, shouldn't he?
It looks as though Mr. Ell lerbe
knew he was putting a burden
on his people to benefit the mi
nority and he was afraid to
make it too heavy for odd Man
Peepul," so he salyed his con-
science by contending for the
S1.OO tariff.
1t is as easy to make general
statements as it is di fficult to
disprove them. Our correspond
ent would have us believe that
Canadian lumber is practically a
negligible factor in regulating the
market price Of lumber, being IN
no. sense in competition with the
American A product, except the
lowest grades. We had always
believed that the forests of Can
ada furnished lumber suited to al
most every requirement. Rand-Mc-
Nally's Atlas of the World tells
us that Canada exports between
$50, 900, 600 and $40, 100000 worth
of lumber annually, which it seems If
converted into boxes alone, would
make an amazing quantity OF them.
A well informed and intelligent
lumber-man informed us recently
that one corporation in this State
had acquired 100000 acres Of
Canadian timbewd land and that
the tariff prevented him from util-
izing it at profit. Moreover, it is
to be remembered that Canada is
not the only country that exports
lumber, or would do 80, but for
the tariff wall. There are South
| America and Mexico and our friend
; above referred to says that the
difference between Mexican lum-
Der and Southern pine is so slight
as scarcely to be noticeable.
'Lumberman" AYERS that only
low-grade boxing and roofing"
lumber is exported from Canada.
Possibly the tariff is so high on
the finer grades that it is prohib-
itive. For instance, the tariff is
$3.50 on dressed lumber and GER
tainly no foreign manufacturer
could pay that duty and compete
with the American lumber mills.
The more we study this lumber
tariff, the more interesting it be-
comes. Here is a clipping from

istence of single one of them.
How difficult it is to convict them

efforts of the Government, with
all its immense resources, to find
guilty that gigantic octopus, the
Standard Oil company. Yet, We

Here in our own State there are
pending suits against the Virginia
Carolina Chemical company and
the Southern Railway, but it is
scarcely to be expected that Ell
ther of these corporations will be
punished for violation OF the
antitrust law.
Our correspondent weakens his
cause, we think, by hi gratui-
tous attack on the Democratic
party and the man thrice chosen
"a its standard bearer, William
Jennings Bryan. In the South
the Democratic party has been
the palladium of liberty to the
white man and it i'll becomes one

ness" to sneer at it now. The
Christian religion is not exempt
from higher criticism, but when
you discard its influence and
teachings what are you going to
put in its place? The so-called
Democratic party" is still the
white mans party of the South
and we honor and admire W j
Bryan for the magnificent fight
he made to lead US on to VIC
tory. Where he failed, tell us
who would have succeeded?
Does this sound like a Democrat?
1t seems to me it is unfair, al

me, to charge him with unfaithful-
ness because he could not conscien-
tiously, in the discharge of his duty
to his constituents, vote for an un-

Mr. Ellerbe could not conscien-
tiously vote for an un-Democratic
demand in the platform! Forsooth
his conscience must be elastic
when he did not scruple to break
his pledge to support the prin-
ciples Of the Democratic party
embodied in that platform. But
once secure in office he gets very
independent indeed and considers
demand of the national platform
as un-Democratic! Why did he
not object to that demand when
he was going over the district
asking the dear people to vote
for him?

Never allow the colt to follow the
