For President OF The United States /:
OSCAR UNDERWOOD,
OF Alabama.
An Explanation AS 10 The Reds
willie and ATOgHltrie Ap-
EDiEaSHnemtSo

| ATE in the afternoon of Wednesday last,
"a the Augusta agent of the Georgia and
Florida Railroad (Mr. Jones) informed
my daughter over the telephone that, in con-
sequence of d washout on the line, no passen-
ger train would be run, that evening or next
morning. He further stated that the washout
was bad one; and it would be "some time''
before it could be repaired. Her inquiry was
made for my beneft-she being with me at
the time.
My intention had been to take the 5 o'clock
A. NJ. Georgia train Thursday morning,
change to the G. & F. in Augusta, and 90 on
to Collins which is miles from Reidsville.
| meant to telegraph ahead to have an auto
mobile meet me at Collins to take me over
to Reidsville.
After the train was annulled, there was no
chance to reach the appointment. After sew
eral days of the equinoXal storm, it would have
been an act of madness to have attempted to
cut across the country in motor-car.
On the Macon branch of the Georgia Rail-
road, practically the same conditions pre-
vailed. A ditched train between Camak and
Macon temporarily suspended travel Thurs
day. So | couldn't get to Moultrie, either.
Much the same situation resulted from the
storm IN 1908, when it was impossible to get
from Athens to the crowd that was awaiting
me in Lawrenceville. Travellers were detained
day and night at Athens, and it was neces-
sary, even then, to 60 up to Lula, where we had
to wait another halfa-day for a train to At
lanta.
It is deep disappointment to me to miss one
of the advertised meetings, but sometimes the
Pfovidential cause makes me do it.
I am perfectly willing to give another date
to Reidsville and to Moultrie, if my local
friends desire it.
We had, week before last, splendid meet
ings at Rayle Wilkes County, and at Craw-
&ord, In Oglethorpet '~,~~<<. s~vrrvsrr,fr'v"~

THE JEFFERSONIAN

We stand here to-day in the eyes of the Amer
lean people, and in their name, and demand
that~the Government shall stop taking their
property and giving it to others; shall stop
taking their money not needed for the support
of the Government. From every part of the
country they are calling upon us for justice.
They are appealing to us for protection in it's
better and higher sense. They are appealing
to us to take the hands Of the robbers out of
their pockets and let them have the benefits of
their own labor and enjoy the rewards of their
own toll; and, Mr. Speaker, we intend to do
it." Loud and prolonged applause an the
Democratic side.

Roger @. Mills is Dead.

IN tle ripe age Oh on, Cne DT11l1anC 1eXan
has passed away. Of recent years his
He had dropped out of the public view.
But the time was when he lowered above
the average Congressman and his name was
on every lip. The "Mills bill'' held the stage,
some 80 years ago, as the Payne Aldrich bill
does now. 1t took it's title from the forceful,
eloquent leader, who in the lower House of
Congress, had done so much to construct and
pass the Democratic tariff
I wish we had space for the whole of the
speech which Mr. Mills made in support of this
measure, on Saturday, July 81, 1888. The
closing paragraphs we will give, for they are
as valuable and timely as anything that could
be put into equal space.
BY way of explanation, [ will say that VIII
liam Mckinley, afterwards President-had
exhibited Gin the course of speech delivered
on May 18th preceeding) suit Of clothes
which, he declared, could be purchased for $40.
Mr.. Mills said:
II have been at great pains to trace that
very suit, and have followed it back to the
manufacturer and procured all the items of it's
cost. [ have got its exact cost and it's exact
weight. Its total cost was $6.68. It's labor
cost was $1.65. It's weight was pounds and
4 ounces. 1t required, SO say the wool manufac-
turers, pounds of wool In the grease to make
one pound of wool cloth, then it required II
pounds of greasy wool to make the pounds
and 4 ounces Of goods The duty on that wool
is 10 cents a pound, or $1.7O for the suit.
Therefore the cost of that suit without the
tariff tax was $4.98 Instead of that being
$40 suit of clothes "withOut the tariff tax" it
was $4.98 suit. Now for the protection of
that suit that cost, with the wool duty added,
Tow, e i
for compensating the manufacturer for the
duty he advanced on the wool that amounts to
$40; then there is tax of IS per cent. for his
own protection which amounts to 1888, the
whole protection amounting to $4.O3, which
added to the $6.68 makes $10.71. Of course
the manufacturer had to undersell the foreign
suit, and to do so he dropped under him Il
cents, and sold his $499 suit for $40 with the
help of the tariff
"These are the facts about your suit of
clothes. [ am told that suit of clothes is to be
photographed and sent out as campaign doc
ument. All [ ask is that the fact be photo
graphed on the brain of every voter that the
actual cost of that $40 suit of clothes was less
than S.; and that the tariff made it cost $40
worth of labor to purchase it; and but for the
tariff 1t would have cost only SIS. Applause
on the Democratic side
"My friend from Ohio, when referring to
that subject, said it was ''the old, old story
that he had read in Adam Smith. This re-
minds me of the incident in regard to the boy
who had stolen his brothers marbles. The lit
tie fellow who had been wronged went to his
mother in tears and said "Brother has stolen
all my marbles" The mother, addressing the
culprit, said, ''My son, don't you know you
have done wrong? Don't you know the Lord
