mere HUMBUGPLAN
Democratic Hypocrisy on the
Tariff Problem.
Wording 10 PurposeIy MuddIed to the
End That the Party May Evade Its
Promises-Afrald to Face
Republication.

In the tariff plank which went
from the White House to st. LOUIS
there was declaration for an IN
vestigation Of changing economic
Conditions at home and abroad by a
tariff commission, whose findings
should be presented to congress for
action looking to an antidumping law
which "would keep the tariff rates
on fairly competitive basis in times
of surplus production abroad"
This means nothing less than pro-
tectiye tariff. for protective tariff
aims to do and does that very thing
Of maintaining In the American mar
ket competitive basis between a
home article produced at high-labor
costs and foreign article produced
q, pauper-iabor costs.
But when Mr.. Wilson's competi-
tive tariff plank was shown In st.
Louis such shout Of derisiOn went
up from the Republican press and
such cry of shame from the honest
Democratic press, which saw and
acknowledged the humbug of such a
subterfuge, that the competitive"
stuff was stricken out Of the tariff
plank us it finally appeared.
But In Its present form 1t is a
humbug plank, just the same. Word
for word. 1t goes along with the
plank first sent from the White House
to st. Louis until 1t comes down to
what the tariff commission is going
to do, and then 1t muddles up the
stream with these words:
"In order to ascertain just what
those (econoAnic) changes may be, the
Democratic congress is proving for a
non-partisan tariff commission to
make impartial and thorough study Of
every economic fact that may throw
light either upon our past or upon our
future fiscal policy with regard to
the imposition Of taxes on imports or
with regard to the changed and chang
ing conditions under which our trade
is carried on"
The only difference between this
and the other Is that the first was
bold, brazen humbug and this is cow
ardly, sneaking humbug.
The first suggested tariff changes
ms competitive" policy; this says
tariff changes as Fiscal" policy.
But they both mean that the Demo
cratic party, whose existing tariff
measure Frustrated American indus
tries within six months after 1t went
into operation and was wiping them
out by the wholesale when the war
came to save them-this means that
the democratic party, while intending
to persist in its free trade infatuation,
is afraid to stand straight up In this
election and face the Republican party
OH the square issue.

Happiness Away From Homo.

My little nephew was making long

Jameson, which occurred in Easley las
Saturday afternoon, June 10, at 4. 81
o clock, at the home of the BRIDES pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. G. j. Ellison, or

The home was beautifully decorated
with sweetpeas and daisies, pink anc
white being the color scheme. In the
hall the guests were received by Mrs.
Luther Cely and Mrs. Fulton Robinson
The bridal party entered the parlor te
the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
march, played by Miss Lillian George
of Gainesville, Ga, and in the soft glow
Of candlelight stood before the alta,
with background of evergreens, while

Holler, pastor Of the bride, performed
the ceremony, the ring being used. DR..
jameson had as his best man Hal w.

veil was gracefully caught about the
head and held by orange blossoms. She
cerried beautiful shower bouquet of
lilies of the valley. The maid of honor,
Miss Brucie Ellison, was becomingly
attired in white net and carrying pink
sweetpeas. The BRIDES going away
suit was handsome one of black taf-
feta and blue serge combined, with all
accessories to match.
The popularity of this couple was at

full presents they received.
Immediately after the ceremony the
guests were invited into the dining
room, which was gracefully presided
over by Miss Jessie Bryant of Green
vile and Mrs. E. w. Machen of Lau-
rens. Here delicious pink and white

most attractive young women, and her
friends in Easley are glad that she will
continue to make her home there.

Delivers Great Sermon

Dr.. David M. Ramsay delivered a
masterful sermon in the Baptist church
here Sunday night on "Alcohol and To-
bacco." He said that both were poison,
and we wish that every boy in the land
could have heard him. Liquor kills more
men than war. Take a young man 20
years old; if he is sober he is expected
to live to be Cd years that is the aver
age age. If he is moderate drinker
he is expected to live to be 81 years DID,
If he is drunkard he is expected to
live to be 35 years. The rattlesnake
might kill you quicker, but liquor and
cigarettes will surely kill you sooner or
later.
DR.. Ramsay said he once use6 to-
bacco, but said that he quit because of
the offensive odor on his clothing, in his
own home and among his people. An
other reason was that it made him ner-
vous and injured his health. Another
was that he could not afford to set an
example for his own boys and other
boys to follow. There is poison enough
in the paper out of which our boys make
make cigarettes to kill flies. There is
also poison enough to kill boys also.
If all our tobacco-using preachers
would give up their tobacco and put the
money into the treasury of the Lord it
would help greatly in paying the debt
on the home and foreign mission boards.
