a position to change his wheat and
cotton with the manufacturers abroad
on an equal basis, and the average
citizen must pay because the pro-
duction of the average citizen is not
protected, but on the other mana
what he buys commands hlgher
price by reason of the tariff.
The tariff will benefit the south
less than any other section. since it is
an agricultural community. 1t must
sell it's cotton and tobacco in the mar
kets of the world, and should have
all the competition possible in the
purchase of fertilizing materials and
the necessities of life in order then
, to make a crop and live as cheaply
as possible. The Republicans are in
the saddle however and the founda-
tion principle of that party is high
tariff for the protective products.

IRISH PEOPLE WANT ABSOLUTE
INDEPENDENCE

Nothing but complete independ-
ence it seems will satisfy the people
of South Ireland. This is Indicated
by the answer of the members or
the Irish Parliament, the Dali Fire
ann. which held it's first open session
today.
On the other hand the British
government seems to have gone its
length in it's offer to Ireland, having
agreed to give that country the
same distinction and the same place
as is held by the other colonies OF
Great Britain, such as Scotland, Aus
tralia, Canada and the other depen-
dencies of the British government.
The British reasons for not being
willing to allow ireland to separate
entirely from their government, and
assume an independent position
among the nations of the world are
many. Among these is the action
of the Irish during the late war,
when Ireland allowed the Germans
to establish a base off their coast for
the purpose of destroying English
shipping. Two German submarines
off the Irish coast were responsible
for the sinking of the Lusitania,
when 1000 Americans, men, women
and children lost their lives. Again
Ireland made a secret treaty with
Germany whereby the Germans
would have been allowed to land on
Irish soil for an invasion of England.
This would have been possible, but
for the activity of the allied fleet
which kept the German fleet bottled
up in the North Sea.
In view of all the circumstances
England can scarcely be blamed for
not desiring to give absolute free
dom to Ireland, since if that country
had her independence, it would be
very easy for foreign foe to land
on her shores, and thus the pres
enee of Independent ireland would
be constant menace to England
The military are under orders to
be in readiness to return to Ireland,
and so we may soon see the revival
of an orgie of blood-shed and an
archy which maintained in Ireland
prior to the commencement of nego-
.tiations for peace.

THE GREENSBORO MEETING.

The meeting of southerners at
Greensboro for the purpose of en-
deavoring to secure protective tariff
legislation, in an attempt, as tariffs
always have been, to secure higher
prices by artificial means.
When we say artificial, we mean
that if there is to be an interchange
of the commodities of the world it
should be done upon fair and equ-
able basis.
Since it is impossible for one part
OF the world to get along without
the other, then it is a matter of nee
esslty that one section of the country
and one part of the world shall ex-
change with the others what they
have for what they need
Take coal and iron for instance
Suppose Wilson county should say we
shall not buy coal from West VIRGINIA
or Pennsylvania, but we will burn
wood instead. Suppose West Virginia
should say that because the people of
Wilson county have refused to buy
our coal we will not chew their to-
bacco and wear their cotton goods.
The Lord has fixed it so that we
are compelled to buy from a section
of country what we cannot produce
In order to bring people closer to-
gether in all the relations Of life.
Operating upon the same theory
and the same principle, a protective
tariff means nothing more nor les,
than to exclude the products of othe,
nations in order to create a fictitiou.

able our manufacturers to conroI

Who will pay this increased pric,
