The South Needs Protection.

Is Protection the entering wedge that
is destined to shatter the solid South?
There can be little question that serious
doubt as to the infallibility of Dem
ocratic Tariff policies is not confined at
present to the Louisiana sugar growers,
for there are industries all over the
Southland that depend for their per-
manence and prosperity upon wise ad-
justment of the Tariff for their Pro-
lection. The men who have engaged
in these enterprises must Of necessity
turn for defense, not to the party of
Tariff for revenue with incidental Pro-
lection, to that which makes Protection
a cardinal principle of political action.
In this connection the appeal to the
people of the South, made by the Manu-
facturers' Record, of Baltimore, is of
peculiar significance at this time. The
Record warns the politicians of the
growth of the Protection sentiment,
and calls upon them to adjust their pol
Icy to the changed industrial conditions
of the South and to abandon worn-out
economic theories if they do not want
to face overwhelming defeat. They
are reminded that intellectual slavery
is worse than physical slavery" The
South is free from the latter; will it
have the courage and foresight to hber-
ate itself from the former?-Philadel

The People Can Best Be Trusted.

The people of the United States are
educated now to knowledge Of what
is good for them as regards Tariff reg
ulations, and we do not believe that
they should ever surrender control of
the Tariff to any commission with life
tenure in Office. Every four years they
have an opportunity of expressing their
preference for Protection or Free
Trade, and never, except in 1892, did
majority of the voters send q majority
to Congress pledged to the Free-Trade
policy.
To have a Tariff commission at the
present time established by President
Wilson would mean the permaneney of
the Free-Trade policy which he and his
party stand for, and 1t is absolutely
certain that the country does not ap-
prove of any such thing. To establish
a Tariff commission, with Republican
President having the appointive powers,
would mean a permanent Protective
policy, and this would not be satisfac-
tory to the employers of women and
babies in Dixie.
The people can best be trusted with
the regulation of the Tariff, and even
though they make mistake once In a
generation, there is no great amount Of
harm done after, for it is by learning
lessons from our mistakes that we be-
come really alert and wise. Leave the
Tariff business and the next presiden-
tial election to the people, making the
Tariff the issue, and there win be no
need of q Tariff commission. The
national government, with enterprising
manufacturers and intelligent wage
earners behind 1t, will see to it that the
country is restored TO that degree Of
prosperity which always Distinguished

Since, in this day, we judge men by
what they honestly accomplish and not
by what they say they will do, we must
not forget we are judged by the same
iron rule. It is not possible in this age
for men to palm off big sounding words
and phrases for success. We are just
to use the rule announced
about 1900 years ago-"By their deeds
We shall know them" Nothing so
simple and so reasonable has ever been
pronounced. 1t banishes all traditional
power or divine rights. 1t takes away
the old idea that because father accom-
plished certain commendable undertak-
ings the son is worthy of trust 1t is
the "show me" rule which we hear so
much about today.

commence to call your attention to
what they are now doing you commence
to look back over the years, and you
will more than likely recall the times
when they were skinning the dear peo-
pie, cursing every moral uplift, and
decrying any city improvements.
