The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1916-09-01

Here is some good Republican ar
gument from Democrat. In the
senate on August II, Senator Rams
dell, of Louisiana, discussing the
shipping bill, said that we shall find
that after the war the European ma
tons will take advantage Of every
possible method to decrease cost Of
production and transportation, both
of which necessarily enter into the
selling price. Just what we have
been telling you! Yet the Demo-
cratic party stands against an i'm
port duty which will prevent the
nations of Europe from selling in
this country at prices that would
prove ruinous competition with fac
tories paying the American scale Of
wages.--Tennessee Republican.
Factories, factories, factories.
Why is it that a Republican or a
Republican paper never says word
about the consumer, the man who
has to pull out the cold cash and
pay for the goods--or worse, buy
on credit and pay still more for
whatsoever he may need or want?
Since our earliest recollection, it has
been a constant singsong by the
Republicans that cheap European
goods would be sold in this country
under Democratic rule, but the tar
if duties have never yet got low
enough to bring about that end
much to be desired by the fellow
who has to foot the final bill. Even
the American Republican farmer
has been taught to chirp "Protec-
ton and who has never been pro-
tected, has never had his eyes open
ed to the real facts involved the
facts that he has been systematical-
ly and mercilessly robbed to fill the
Golfers of the American manufac-
turer and his brethren who have
never been too hard run to foot the
Republican campaign bills. We
doubtless snred many changes in
this country--but not one item
worse than the need Of Editors Bob
Greene and Bill Barry to purchase
a clean shirt or new pair Of pants
for less money, After the war is
over, the European people, in great
need, are going to climb the tariff
wall and force wholesome reduc-
ton in the prices Of many articles
in this country.

.Irst as the Nashville Banner had

Just as the Nashville Banner had
aroused our sympathy and convinc-
ed us that it had been traduced by
the Louisville Courier-Journal, the
Banner itself admits that the editor
ial that caused the exchange Of hot
words was its own. Although we
do not approve the motive that in
spires the Courier-Journals attack
on Nashville, we hereby retract our
criticism of its treatment of the
Banner.--Jackson Sun.
Still the Sun is not fair to the
Banner, for the reason that while
admitting having published an edi-
torial in which Nashville was class
ed as a "ruint" town, its downfall
was not attributed to the enactment
Of the prohibition law. Nashville
was damaged in both business and
character by the fact that the city
treasury had been looted by a lot
Of thieves and the Banner certainly
had the right to tell the truth about
it. 1t would be a wholesome change
in the conduct Of city daily papers if
they would tell more Of truth in re-
gard is rotten local conditions in
stead of lying or suppressine the
facts in order to safeguard good
names" to which such cities are not
entitled.

Gaihsr Black Locust Seed,

More than fifty thousand black To-
Gust seedlings, nursery grown, we're
bought by the farmers Of West Ten
nessee last spring. They we're set
OFT for two purposes, viz: to reclaim
quilted land and TO grow posts, both
Of which give return in money.
With care and q little attention, ev-
cry farmer who wishes tp grow his
own seedlings can do so. The seed
Of the black locust are now ripe,
the pods dry. They begin ripening
about the middle of July and there
Is a good crop Of them. II the land
owner will spend an hour or two
gathering them, he will have enough
to SOW a fairly good seed next
spring II costs only a little time
and effort to secure them and by
planting them the land owner learns
something about tree growth, Sew
eral men in West Tennessee plant
ed the black locust seed last spring
to grow their seedlings. Among
them are G. w. Cleaver, at Hollow
Rock, and Joe johnson, at Martin.
Their small trees vary in height
from six inches to practically six
feet now. Mr.. Cleaver's are esti-
mated between three and five thous-
and in number, grown from sowing
a half pound OF seed. Practically
their only expense has been the
cost of the seed, which had to be
bought at the rate Of sixty cents
per pound If the land owner who
wishes seed would spend sixty cents
worth Of time in gathering them he
would Get enough to grow several
thousand seedlings.
If the owners who gather seed
this summer will send a statement
Of the number Of pounds they Sc
cure to the Forester Of the State
Geological Survey, Nashville, Tenn,
he will be glad to keep record Of
it so as-to know how much will be
ready to plant next spring, and who
will do the planting Martin Mail.

YELLOW PINE PAYS
CHRISTMAS DIVIDEND

The directors of the Yellow Pine
Mining company have declared a div
idend for December of ten cents per
share OF its capitalization of 1,000,-
900. This brings its total dividends
for the year 1916 to the stupendous
amount of 100000 or just 100000
less than its entire capitalization.
The actual amount of cash repre-
sented in the capitalization is prob
lematical, as the treasury stock of the
company sold all the way from five
to SO cents a share. The treasury
stock was sold out when the price
was fifty cents If figured out on the
actual amount of cash received by
the company for mine development
and operation from the sale of it's
treasury stock this dividend would
mean that it has paid from 200 to
800 per cent in one year for all the
cash actually involved.
The physical condition of the mine
was never better. There is more ore
in sight right now than can be ex"
tracted in year. AS depth is at
tanned in it's immense workings, big
ger and better ore shoots are un-
covered, until it looks as If the whole
ground of the company was a gigant-
is chimney, similar to the United
Verde in Arizona and FL Potosi pipe

limit to the extent of ore production
Yet the stock of this company is be-
ing sold on the Los Angeles Stock
exchange for the miserable sum O.
$1.65 per share, while stocks in com
panies in Utah, Idaho and Montana

dividends, are freely quoted on thei
exchanges at from SIS to $12 pei
