A large crowd gathered at the
old log church at the mouth of
Butler Fork last Sunday to see
Mr.. M. Powell and Miss Banne
Wilson united in matrimony. The
intended bride and groom came.
With anxiety they waited for
Rev. l. M. Grimsley to arrive
and perform the ceremony. But
alas he was at Sparksville teach
ing a singing school. He en-
gagged a horse to ride-so he start
ed, but when he came to the
forks of the road the horse want
ed to go one road and the rider
the other. After worrying some
time, and gaining no ground, he
sent the horse back and took it a
foot to Mr.. D. M. Moore's where
he procured a horse to ride.
He arrived just as the people
announced that they would meet
again at night and get the SER
vices of another minister, but the
arrival of 1. M. Grimsley saved
them Of the trouble.

system, whose object is develop
ment, a more free and whole
some development, not revolu-
ton or upset or confusion.
We must build up trade, es-
pecially foreign trade. We need
the outlet and the enlarged field
of energy more than we ever did
before. We must build up in
dustry as well, and must adopt
freedom in the place of artificial
stimulation only so far as it will
build, not pull down. In dealing
with the taft the method by
which this may be done will be a
matter of judgment, exercised
item by item.
HEROIC REMEDIES NECESSARY.
To some not accustomed to the
eXcitements and responsibilities
of greater freedom our methods
may in some respects and at some
points seem heroic, but remedies
may be heroic and yet be rene
dies. 1t is our business to make
sure that they are genuine rene
dies. Our object is clear. If our
motive is above just challenge
and only an occasional error of
judgment is chargeable against
US, we shall be fortunate.
We are called upon to render
the country a great service in
more matters than one. Our re-
sponsibility should be met and
our methods should be thorough,
as thorough as moderate and we'll
considered, based upon the facts
as they are, and not worked out
as if we were beginners. We
are to deal with the facts of our
own day, with the facts of no
and to make laws which
square with those facts. 1t is
best, indeed it is necessary, to
begin with the tariff.
l will urge nothing upon you
now at the opening of your ses-
sion which can obscure that first
object or divert our energies from
that clearly defined duty. At a
later time l may take the liberty
of calling your attention to re-
forms which should press close
upon the heels of the tariff
changes. if not accompany them,
of which the chief is the reform
Of our banking and currency laws;
but just now l refrain.
For the present, l put these
matters on one side and think
only of this one thing-of the
changes in our fiscal system which
may best serve to open once
more the free channels of pros
oerity, to a great people whom
We would serve to the utmost |
and throughout both rank and
lie.

recognition, the tariff schedules
have remained what they were
before the change began, or
have moved in the direction they
were given when no large circum-
stance of cur industrial develop
ment was what it is to. day.
Our task is to square them
with the actual facts. The soon
er that is done the sooner we
shall escape from suffe ring from
the facts and the sooner our men
of business will be free to thrive
by the law of nature (the nature
of free business), instead of by
the law of legislation and arti-
fetal arrangement.
WANDERED FAR AFIELD.
We have seen tariff legislation
wander very far afeld in our day
very far, indeed, from the
field in which our prosperity
might have had normal growth
and stimulation. No one who
looks the facts squarly in the
face or knows anything that lies
beneath the surface of action
can fail to perceive the princi-
plies upon which recent tariff
legislation has been based.
We long ago passed beyond the
modest notion of protecting" the
industries of the country and
moved boldly forward to the idea
that they were entitled to the
direct patronage of the Govern
ment. For a long time time
so long that the men now active
in public policy hardly remember
the conditions that preceded it
we have sought in our tariff
schedules to give each group of
manufacturers or producers what
they themselves thought that
they needed in order to maintain
practically exclusive market as
against the rest of the world.
Consciously or unconsciously,
we have built up a set of privi-
leges and exemptions from COM
petitions behind which it was
easy by any, even the crudest,
forms of combination to organize
monopoly; until at last nothing is
normal. nothing is obliged to
stand the tests of efficiency and
economy, in our world of big
but everything thrives
by concerted arrangement. Only
new principles of action will save
US from a final hard crystalliza-
ton of monopoly and a complete
loss of the influences that quick
en- enterprise and keep independ-
ent energy alive.
MUST ABOLISH PRIVILEGES.
1t is plain what those princi-
pies must be. We must abolish .
everything that bears even the
semblance of privilege or of any
kind of artificial advantage, and
put our business men and pro-
lucers under the stimulation of
constant necessity to be efficient,
economical, and enterprising,

~. better workers and merchants

Wilson'S First Message to Congress.

washington, April o.-freSl-
dent Wilson began his message
as follows:
Il am very glad indeed to have
this opportunity to address the
two houses directly and to verify
for myself the impression that
the President of the United States
is a person, not a mere depart
ment of the Government hailing
Congress from some isolated
island Of jealous power, sending
messages, not speaking naturally
and with his own voice; that he
is a human being trying to CO.
operate with other human beings
in q common service. After this
pleasant experience | shall feel
quite normal in all our dealings
with one another"
Washington, April 8.-Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson to-day COM
municated his first message to
the Sixty-third Congress, COLI
vened in Extraordinary session.
1t was an unusually brief docu-
ment, dealing exclusively with
the need for a thorough, moder-
ate and we'll, considered revision
of the tariff.
The President drew attention
to the necessity for an early re-
form in the banking and curren-
.cy laws, but refrained, he said.
from urging, for the present,
any other legislation that might
divert the energies of Congress
from its clearly defined duty"
toward the tariff question.
The message referred to no
particular schedule, mentioned
no rates, and included no Stats
tics. 1t was an enunciation of
the Presidents principles to tar
eff revision. His specific views
land ideas as to rates and duties,
it has been generally accepted,
will be contained in the tariff
bill itself, which he is now con-
;sidering in detail.
The Presidents decision to put
the weight of the Administra-
tons influence behind the bill
with its various schedules as
drawn by the House Ways and
Means Committee, caused him to
omit specific reference to tariff /
rates until the measure was fin
ally agreed upon in the opening
days of the present session.
The message urged that special
privilege and exemptions from
competition be cut out of the ma
tons tariff system and that the
revision be made to square with
the facts as they are" At the
outset, the President called at
tention to the party's pledge for
tariff reduction. The message
follows:
