The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1911-02-09


rst half of a long editorial in til
harlotte Observer:
When the Payne-Aldrich ia
riff bill was pending it developed
that a good many stand-patters
for excessive protection were
enthusiastic free traders where
the means of increasing their
own profits thereby-virtually
their own protection-were con-
cerned. Generally speaking, they
favored free trade for the South,
because it produced to a large
extent the raw materials of their
industries and did not WELD the
political power which might
otherwise, by reason of resent
ment at such injustice, have en-
dangered the whole arrange
ment later on. However, the
fear of scandalizing their pro-
gram did cause diffidence among
them on this point, and South
ern Congressman were able to
prevent any very glazing glazing
discrimination. Some Southern
congressman, enthusiastic for
free trade on any terms, accept
ed the kindly furnished oppor-
tunity to vote as much free trade
as possible ON Southern prod
ucts, but they missed their aim.
1t was noticeable that in this in
stance the interests of Western
insurgent Republican States con-
fiicted with those of the South
a fact previously illustrated
when Colonel Bryan shaped the
Denver platform along prairie
State lines and insisted after
ward that these provisions be
written by Democratic votes even
into a stand-pat tariff. So the
more courageous among the
standpatters, together with the
insurgent Republicans and the
radicals and liberalists among
Southern Democrats, stood to-
gether on this matter of the
maximum of free trade for
Southern products while other
sections were receiving-ther ul-
ing powers shut off any chance
to vote free trade here-the
maximum Of protection for prod
ucts of their own. In justice to
the common sense of most of the
Southern Democrats voting thus,
it should be said that they yield
ed-not at all courageously to
to the appeal Of regularity and
to the party whip which Colonel
Bryan was brandishing with all
the energy at his command"

GREAT AUTOMOBILE RACE.
British and German Parties to Com
pete in African Race.

BRUSH ana GERMAN FdrtieS 10 Com-
pete in African Race.
Cape Town, South Africa, Feb. G.
All is in readiness for the start from
Cape Town tomorrow of the most
thrilling contest in the history of au-
tomobiling. The route to be covered
is from this city to Cairo, Egypt, a
distance of $500 miles and large
part of the way leading through the
equatorial jungles and untraversed
wastes of the dark continent.
The British automobile, in command
of Capt. Bentley, will leave tomorrow,
while the German army auto will
start two weeks later Four thousand
gallons of John D. Rockefeller's gaso-
line have been distributed at various
points in the interior of Africa be-
tween Elizabethville, the terminus of
the South African railway, and Condo
koro, on the White Nile, where the
contestants will again be in touch
with civilization and will be able to
secure supplies over the Egyptian
railways.
The Britishers are using 25-horse
power car md motorcycle to be
used alternately by members of the
party in advance of the car. At the
best, the party will have to make
their way through hundreds of miles
of trailing vines, underbrush and for
ests, and over other miles of marshes.
For a time it was expected that the
Duke of the Abruzzi would head an
Italian motor car expedition to COM
pete with the British and German
parties. but he has abandoned the
project.
