on the senate his amendment to the
free list bill for an automatic reduc-
ton of prohibitory duties which would
gradually bring them to a revenue
basis.
His contention was that a general
clause should be put in the law pro-
viding that whenever it appears that
the importations of any dutiable ar
ticle have been, for a year preceding,
less than one-tenth of the total do
nestle production of similar articles
the duty shall be reduced at the rate
Of 10 percent per annum, until the i'm
portation shall equal one-tenth of such
domestic production, the reduction
then to cease and ythe matter be re-
ferred to congress for further action.
Mr.. Newlands urged that by this
method a reduction of the excessive
and prohibitory duties of the tariff
would be accomplished without invit-
ing a food of foreign importations and
without disturbing American indus
tries. He claimed that a large proper
ton of the duties of the existing tariff
were prohibitory and were not revenue

Would Tighten the Task.

1.-THE duties of congress and it's con-
ditions in the revision of the tariff, /"
Mr.. Newlands said, would thus be
very much lightened and the work of
mere computation would be thrown
upon the tariff board, which could
ascertain the facts upon the existence
of which the tariff reduction would be
based. In this way reduction can
be accomplished which will excite no
alarm, as the law itself will provide a
safety brake and stop the reduction
whenever the importations exceed a
certain percentage.
Such an amendment would not be
recognition Of the principle of pro-
lection by Democrats If they cnocurred
in it; it would simply be recognition
Of protection, and would provide for a
gradual change and reduction to a rev
enue basis without economic readjust-
ment.
Our industries are on stills as the
result of the high tariff. It is not
wise at one blow to knock the stills
from under them, just as it would not
be wise for a man who had climbed a
high steeple and desires to come down
to the earth to jump down instead of
climbing down. An automatic reduc-
ton Of 10 percent a year would ac-
complish almost everything that is de-
sired in the way Of gradually estab-
fishing a revenue tariff

no one will take his place in your hearts,
and you would not have the void filled,
even if you could.
In the years to come it will be sacred
thought to parents and friends, that he
shed radiance in the home as long as he
lived. 1t will be blessed recollection
that he grew up to love and be loved by
those who will ever so tenderly cherish
his sweet and pure memory.

products, always, Of course, having IN
view the dominating factor OF supply
and demand.
The South Carolina mass meeting OF

mended to the cotton belt the following:
That each parish open books at

farmers to pledge to hold stated
number Of bales of cotton until
September /, 1912, or until the price
has reached 10 cents; also, to get
pledges to reduce the cotton acre
/ age for 1912 to not exceeding 60 per
cent Of arabic land held; get reports
each day as to pledges filed and
publish names of signers with the
number of bales pledged, and for
said parties to contribute not less
than two cents per bale for cotton
so held to defray expenses.
, In accordance with these resolutions
ask if you will not announce to tn
cotton growers Of your parish that yo
:, will take the names and pledges an
!, transmit them to the Agricultural De
