PROTEST TARIFF REDUCTION.
Mill Man Says it Will Turn the Mills
Into Soup Houses.

R. M. Miller, Jr., of Charlotte, N.
c., chairman of the tariff committee
of the American Cotton Manufacture
ers Association Friday gave out the
following official statement, protest
ing against the proposed reduction
in the cotton tariff schedules:
"The so-called Underwood bill on
the revision of the cotton tariff sched-
ule Is bill formed apparently solely
in the interest of the importer and
foreigner-wholly unfair and unjust
to us-ignoring entirely the interest
of the American cotton manufacturer
and the American laborer and if en-
acted into a law will turn the cotton
mills of our country into soup
houses.
"Based upon to-day's prices Of cot
ton yarns as best that can figure, in
order that the manufacturers Of this
country may meet the reductions in
the proposed schedule and to COM
pete wit imported yarns. it will net
cessitate a cut somewhere from 25 to
so per cent in the wages Of our cot
ton mill operatives. This means pa
per wages to our American labortr to
meet the pauper wages Of Europe.
Will American labor stand for it?
The American cotton manufactltr-
ers protest against it.

PEOPLE WILL DECIDE
RECIPROCITY QUESTION TO BE
VOTED ON BY THEM.
The Fate of tht New Measure De-
pends Upon Complexion of New
Parliament Soon to be Elected.

a dispatch from Ottawa, Ontario,
says the eleventh Parliament of Can
ada passed out of existence Saturday
and upon the political complexion a
new one, to be elected September 81,
will depend the fate Of the reciproci-
ty agreement between the United
States and Canada.
Premier Laurier decided to ask
for an immediate dissolution, at a
meeting of his cabinet Saturday af-
ternoon, and at once notified Earl
Grey the Governor General.
Practically every member has left
the Capital and the campaign on the
reciprocity issue will be begun all
over the Dominion.
The announcement Of the disso-
luton came as great surprise, as
few persons expected it before next
week, if at all. The new Parlia-
ment will be summoned to meet Oc-
tober II, and supply bills will be vot-
ed at once.
1t is generally agreed that the two
months campaign before the country
will be vigorous, and even bitter.
Reciprocity will be the sole issue,
although the conservatives in Que
bee may seek to inject the naval is
sue into the campaign.
The anti-annexation cry has been
raised by the Conservatives in all
parts of the country. Sir Wilfred
Laurier and his ministers will take
the stump and conduct platform cam
paigns in all provinces.
The Parliament just dissolved had
membership of 1873 Liberals, IS
Conservatives ard 8 Independents,
giving the Government working
majority of over 40. The absence of
closure rule, however, made it i'm
possible for the majority to force a
vote against filibuster.
Should the present Liberal Gov
ernment be returned with anything
like a working majority, it will mean
that vote can be aiken on he rec
iprocity resolution, and that the trade
agreemen will go into effect. A
Conservative victory at the polls
the passage of the Laurier gov
ernment and the permanent killing
of the reciprocity pact.

- FUSED TO ATTEND
GOV. 80 <S NOT GO TO FILL
B. ~o.
Did Not Want to Engage in Verbal
Combat With Aspirants for His Of

flee now.
The Yorkville correspondent Of
The News and Courier says the an
nual picnic at Filbert, four miles to
the North Of that city, on the Caro-
lima and Northwestern railway, was
pulled off Friday and a crowd esti-
mated at from 1900 to 1000, com
ing from every direction, but princi-
pally from an area Of few square
miles in the immediate vicinity, was
present.
The affair Is given each year under
the auspices of the Filbert camp, W.
o. W., and this year the committee in
charge extended invitations 70 Gov.
ernor Biease, Ex-Governor John Gary
Evans, Ranroad Commissioner John
G.. Richards and the Hon. T. C. Ha-
mer, of Bennettsyille, leading
Woodman official
The fact that Goyerro: please had
accepted the invitation was widely
advertised and a large proportion of
the crowd was made up of his friends
and admirers, but there was quite a
number present who are not the Gov
ernor's friends Governor Blease
failed to show up.
It is said that in conversation
with a member of the local commit
tee, he stated that "nnder the cir
cumstances" he had decided not to
come. It Is also said "that on being
asked what the circumstances" re-
ferred to were he hung up the re-
ceiver and failed to talk any more.
Messrs. Evans, Richards and Ha-
mer made speeches. Mr.. Evans Is said
to have made a speech that caught
the crowd, but made no reference to
politics, while Major Richards refer
red to It incidentally, and Mr.. Hamer
confined his remarks to "Woodcraft."
The Governors friends were sore
ly disappointed at his failure to meet
them, but say that, under the circum-
stances they did not blame him. He
was evidently under the impression,
until within the past few days, that
he was invited 70 Filbert to partici-
pate in love-feast with his friends,
and not to encounter the possibility
of enigag ging in a verbal combat with
ne, and possibly two, asDirants to. the
position he holds, more than a year
in advance Of the elction, and that
the committee treated him discour-
teously, especially, if it led him to
suppose at the outset that he would be
the principal attraction, and then la
ter invited possible aspirants to his
position. On the other hand his en-
emies are saying that they had no
idea he would be on hand at Filbert
regardless OF circumstances.

WOOL BILL now
INSURGENTS AND DEMOCRATS
UNITE ON COMPROMISE.
It Worries President Taft Who Will
Probably Veto Any Measure Now

Passed.
Wool legislation has displaced
reciprocity at the White House. Not
since the extra session begun has the
political situation been as tense in
executive circles as it was Friday.
The Democratic-Insurgent coalition
has given the administration great
shock if It does nothing else.
This shock was all the more pain
full for the reason that no longer ago
than Wednesday Senators Smoot and
Crane, senatorial advisers of the pres
ident, brought Mr.. Taft the glad It'd
ings that there would be no wool bill,
that adjournment would come about
August 10, and that there was re-
ioicing in all the regular Republican
ranks. But there was a miscaleTla-
ton, and this has cast gloom over
administration circles. From infor-
nation which has come to the White
House there will be wool bill re-
ported out of conference which will
pass both bodies. That means that
the president will have either to- sign
it or to veto it.
The story which comes to the ey-
ecutive Offices is that the Democrats
agreed to support the La Toilette COM
promise in the senate Thursday, pro-
vided the Insurgent Senators in the
senate would later support con-
ference report which could be passed
IL the house.
This arrangement, the story contin-
ues, gives both parties to the coali-
ton some glory. La Toilette and his
followers can claim the credit before
the country for proposing the COM
promise measure, the measure which
made bill possible, while the Demo-
Gratis can claim the credit for fur
nishing the final measure.
The best information at the White
House this morning is that the presi-
dent will stick to his announced in
tention of vetoing any tariff revision
legislation sent to him in advance Of
the tariff boards report. He called
the extra session to consider reciproc-
ity. He wanted no other tariff bills
passed.
A number of Republican callers at
the White House this morning told
the president that he would loose
nothing with the country by vetoing
any wool bill that reached him dur
ing the tntire session.

TAFT In DEEP HOLE
WILL HAVE TO SHOW HIS HAND
ON TARIFF MATTERS.
The Democrats and 1nsurgent Re-
publicans Are Giving the President
q Lot of Trouble.

q Lot or 1rOuDle.
A special dispatch from Washing
ton to the News and Courier says so
confident were the standpat Republi-
cans that the Democrats and the In
surgents had reached an "impasse"
that Senator Smoot of Utah, who is
with Senator Penrose and Senator
Crane a member of the ruling admin
istration ccterie in the Senate, gave
out Thursday afternoon after visiting
the White House statement that
there would be no other tariff legis-
lation than the reciprocity bill, and
that the question Of the wool tariff
revision would be settled, land set
tied properly" by the defeat of the
La Toilette substitute for the Under
derwood bill Immediately after and
wood bill and the defeat of the Un-
that this would end the matter, MAX
ing adjournment by August 10 prac-
tical certainty.
The complete upset of the stand
patters expectations by the consum-
nation Of an understanding between
the Democrats and the Insurgents
at the eleventh hour throws the ad-
ministration into confusion. 1t means
that Mr.. Taft will have to meet the
embarrassment of signing or vetoing
,pip no rif
the notorious Schedule X which he
has himself declared to be an mex
cusably evil feature, of the Payne
Aldrich tariff. l
More than this, the success of the
Democrats and insurgents in the
wool vote indicates that the "far-
mers' free list bill, with some modifi-
cations to soothe the Insurgents, will
be passed on the 1st of August, and
the President will have to discharge
the responsibility OF saying whether
or not this free list shall become a
fact.
1t is a terrible dilemma for Mr..
Taft, who had undou btedly hoped to
adjourn the session with the rec
iprocity bill to his credit and no 9TH
er tariff bill measure to consider.
1t is understood that President
has told various Republican senators
that he will veto the wool bill or any
other tariff measure that shall be
passed up to him.
If he vetoes the wool bill and the
free list bill, it would be obvious that
he would veto any other tariff legis-
lation offered at this session, and the
Democrats will be happy to face the
country under such conditions.
If, on the other hand, the Presi-
dent should sign both of these meas
ures, or either of them, the Demo-
Gratis will certainly continue their
progremme and send to him in rapid
succession revisions of the cotton,
steel, sugar and rubber schedules. He
will doubtless choose to stand by the
special interests represented in these
schedules and block the whole busi-
ness from the start.

Therefore, unhesitatincly,
they went forth from their

their fields, not knowing whore

they were determined to go
forth like the Israelites of old,

scourglngs, yea, moreover of
bonds and imprisonment; they
