Property Damage by Storm
Will Reach ST 100000.
COAST ISLANDS LOSS HEAVY
Wreckage Being Cleared Away and
Street Car Traffic Resumed
Heavy Rains Increase DAN
ger from Sickness.

Charleston, S c., Aug. 3O.-As re
suit of the storm which swept this city
Sunday and Monday twelve persons
are known to be dead, while the dam
age to property will certainly exceed
81, 100000 Only the city proper is re
ferred to by these figures.
The death list and the property loss
are expected to be greatly increased
when the outlying districts are heard
from. The damage was great on the
coast islands.
Great relief was felt here when the
Clyde line steamer Apache made port
after rough experience off this har
Dor during the hurricane. Passen
gers wore life preservers for severa
hours.
Charleston has gone to work to put
from sight the evidence of the storm
The streets are being cleared Of
wreckage and street car traffic is be
ing resumed. Train service is nearly
normal. In the low lying sections
there is much suffering, ard the dan
ger of sickness because Of the storm
effects is said to be great. Heavy
rains contributed to the height of wa
ter in the streets and yards.
There is general criticism here thai
the weather bureau failed to give prop
er warning of the approach of the
storm.
Advices from Port Royal and Beau
fort state that the property loss a
these points is heavy, but no loss Of
life is reported.
The cotton crop all along the coas1
section of the shore has been badly
damaged.

The consumer pays more than the
thing is worth; becauce not only does
he have to pay the legitimate expenses
of government, but he has to support
the whole hungry horde of piratical
oficeholders who come from 'Tarriffa,
and range the seas. They eat, they
destroy, they consume they do not pro
duce
The whole idea of tariff on the
necessities of life is unjust and I'M
ethical. No one knows where anC
when protective tariff ceases to be
one and becomes a tariff for revenue
The fact is the "protective' feature is
only an excuse, an afterthought. Ar
industry that needs protection should
not exist. The price paid for protection
comes out of the people anyway, ano
why the many should be robbed tc
protect the few, no one has ever ex
planned.
RECIPROCITY.
Reciprocity with Canada is grea
and benefcient move. We need the
foodstuffs and lumber of Canada, ant
she needs our manufactured products
Under the old scheme, our big man
ufacturers evade the duty by going
over to Canada and starting factories
Hence tariff really drives our man
ufacturers across the border.
Reciprocity with Canada will place
willow plume in the cap of President
Taft, and for generations to come lhis
tory will call him blessed.

All over the country there is gen
1t is spontaneous, and is growing in
strength When Theodore Roosevelt
was president in two or more annual
messages he referred to high tariff taxa
ton as the system in which the people
had long acquieSced. But they are
acquiescing no longer. The Democrat
who has long advocated tariff for reve-
nue. only, discouraged through hope
long deferred, may look on Indifferent
ly; but his Republican and Independent
neighbors are getting wrought up over
the manner in which they, as ultimate
consumers, are being held up and com
PEELED to deliver to the monopoly COM
binations for whose benefit and behoof
the Objectionable schedules in the pres
ent tariff law were framed.
eral Point has handed to the Democrat
the following selections in reference to
the Tariff and Reciprocity:
TARIFF.
The word tariff comes to us from
Tariffa, town on the North Coast of
Africa. Here a band of pirates had
their headquarters. Just one word
they called to their clients and that was
in the dreaded word "Tarifan' This
meant. Stop your ship and turn over
to us one half of your cargo, otherwise
we will sink you
A tariff at its best is a species of
hold-up. 1t is an attempt to stop the
natural flow of trade from where things
are plentiful to where they are needed.
1t is a scheme to prevent the consumer
buying the things he wants at the price
they are worth. A tariff boosts the
price of commodity by a man with
gun stepping between the seller and
the buyer and crying ''Tarriffa!"
The money you pay to the man with
the gun is added to the selling price.

PRODUCTIONS OF MERIT.

There were two contributions to the
newspapers of Dodgeville in regard tc
Home coming which possessed especial
merit.
One of these contributions was a
letter from Prof John w. Livingston,
in which he told of Dodgeville's ad-
vancement in educational matters and
his connection with the public schools
of that city. Prof. Livingstons influ-
ence has always been for good, and the
earlier years of his manhood were given
for the moral and intellectual uplift
of the young people of Dodgeville.
The other contribution to which we
refer was poem on the Home coming,
by that gifted writer O. G. Smith,
sometime editor of the Dodgeville Sun.
The production is one of rare merit.
1t is both retrospective and prospective.
1t tells in pleasing verse of the joys, the
sorrows, the hopes, and the ambitions,
of those amongst whom the lot of the
writer for many years was cast; and in
a humorous vein it deals with the foibles
of the youth of the community. In
it's composition and arrangement, the
poem shows the master hand, and
stamps the author as student of the
worlds best literature
