railway men and the company is
fully equipped and prepared TO COM

THE NEED OF PROTECTION

At a recen, meeting Of the Board or
Managers OF the American Protective
Tariff League. Two Very important
declarations relating TO the tariff were
embodied in resolutions passed by
that body. The first resolution de-
uandnd an adequate protective tariff
in the interests alike OF American
labor and production, in order that
the American standard of wages and
living be maintained" followed by the
decision that the League Will conduct
an aggressive campaign TO this end.
The second resolution calls upon Con-
gross to complete its child labor leg
islation by so amending the present
tariff laws as ito prevent the impor-
tation Of foreign merchandise OF all
descriptions wherein foreign child
labor under fourteen years Of age
shall have been utilized In whole or In

NoN.CoNTRIBUTIVE WEALTH

According to the Manufacturers
Record, OF Baltimore. a very reliable
a very patriotic as we'll as coHSerTa'
,iyc publication, the total value OF the
Scuth's agricultural output this year
wi,l be largely over $4,000 100000, or
gain Of over s1,45o GQ0.QnD over last
year. The magnitude of this amazing
Agricultural wealth can be better un-
ters;ood when il is, borne in mind that
The total value Of agricultural output
. OF the United States in 1900 was So.-
OGD OOL, 900. Thus the South this year
y: Will produce in It's agricultural inter-
ests about 81. 00O, 100000 more than the
entire country produced II years ago.
This revelation will strike the aver
age observer Of national affairs as not
; as amazing as the attitude of the
South, at least It's representatives IN
Congress, who have consistently and
persjstently refused to have this great
wealth tapped for taxation purposes
in support Of the government in this
war, but have ardently insisted and
succeeded in putting the great burden
OF expense on the North its industries
I'd the profits of its initiative and en-
prise.
This IS especially true with regard
10 the staple crop OF the South, cot
ton The value OF the South's cotton
crop OF 1916. including seed. was ST.
s57, 1881, 90, as reported by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The total value Of the cotton crop, in
Guiding seed. for 1917, as reported by
the New Orleans Cotton Exchange,
WAS 100000. The Manufacturers
Record estimates the value OF this
years crop Of cotton and seed at ST.
100, O00, 900 with the chance OF it reach
ing $1,000, 100000. Yet we find that
,his product Of the South is held to
he sacred against the vulgar touch OF
the national tax collector, or any sug-
-estion that the vast wealth accumu.
lated from cotton should be included
in the CONSUMPTION Of excess profits,
which has been so diligently applied
to all northern business and industry.
1t is significant that the Record re-
marks that this vast wealth will prove
a curse TO the South unless it is util-
ICED in this hour Of supreme need OF
human civilization for the betterment
of mankind and the advancement Of the
cause Of civilization and all that civil
:zation means in this great world
struggle" Yes. indeed The South's
