one month hence. / hope and believe
they will vote for protection.
Some say the tariff should be taken
out of politics. Such talk is absurd
for the present at least. There are
two distinct tariff policies as different
from each other as day from night,
We cannot have both. Some say the
tariff commission will solve the ques-
tion. The purpose of the commission
is not to recommend policy or to ap-
ply policy. Its object is to gather
facts upon which Congress shall apply
its policy, no matter what that policy
may be, and it is the task of the vot-
ers to decide whether we will have an
administration in power at Washing
ton believing in tariff for revenue
only, or believing in protection to
American industries and American
labor. Tariff commission or not, with
a Democratic Administration in pow
er, the policy of revenue only and free
trade will be applied. With Repub-
lican Administration, tariff laws will
be framed so as to afford protection
to industries sufficient to offset the
difference in labor cost, here and
abroad. l believe the great American
markets, destined to be the greatest in
the world when the present war is
ended, should be protected against
foreign competition and reserved for
the use of the American wage-earner,
farmer and manufacturer.

COLLEGE STUDENTS GWEN
REFUNDS ON BOARD MONEY
THE SUM OF $2,352.s2 IS DIVID.
ED BETWEEN THEM AT END
OF SESSION.

Just before the students of the
Mississippi Industrial Institute and
College left here to r'fturn to their
homes after the close Of the 1856
session the sum Of $aa,352.62 was
distributed among the;n as a refund
on deposits made for board during
the scholastic year.
When the session began the price
of provisions was rather high and
the cost of board was estimated at
S12 per month. at which rate the
young ladies made deposits, but by
buying in large quantities and by
careful and economical management
the amount was reduced to $10.7615
per month, and the difference was
returned to the students, who re-
ceived refunds ranging from cents
to so each.
The refund was made possible by
the care exercised by Mr.. D. I. Gas
ton, the secretary, in purchasing
supliesa nd by judicious manage
ment on the part of Mrs. M. T. Shat
tuck, the housekeeper.
