TRADE JOURNALS
CONDEMN TARIFF BILL.

Here is a typical opinion of the
trade journals on the McCumber
tariff bill from the Shoe and Leather
Reporter:
sThe tariff bill, as framed in the
House and mutilated by the Senate
Finance Committee, should be laid on
the table and forgotten. 1t is about
the worst piece of revenue legislation
in the history of the Government. It
is full of blunders, contradictions and
inequalities, and for every cause
acceptable to an industry something
follows of an Objectionable character.
1T should be plain as MONDAY
sun that it is not possible for Con-
gress to frame an adequate bill at
this time. Industrial and CONNER
cial conditions in all the countries of
the world are in a state of fux. and
Whatever appears to be a good set of
tariff clauses today might be COM,
pletely out of alignment and made
quate tomorrow.
Perhaps it will be humanity pos
slble to revise the schedules intel
ligently few years hence, when the
warstricken world has settled down
to business again"

EVERYBODY DAMNING
THE TARIFF.

The McCu"1ber Tariff bill, which is
the Fordney bill with 2,O57 amend
ments, drags its weary way in the
Senate, daily arousing new opposition
and antagonism from men of all
shades of political opinion; from the
Republican, Independent and Demo
cratic press, from business men, in
GLIDING manufacturers and importers;
from farmers, and almost every ele-
ment possessing intelligence and with
any understanding of economic prin-
ciples.
The constitutionality of the provi-
sion delegating authority to the
Executive to fix rates has been at
tackled by such great constitutional
lawyers as Senator Walsh Dem,
Mont.) and Senator Pomerene (Dem.,
Ohio), and by one of the foremost
authorities on the tariff, Senator I'm
derwood (Dem., Ala.,) but the Senate
has already shown its contempt for
the Constitution by confirming Sena-
tor Smoot and Representative Burton
as members of the War Debt Fund
ing Commission.
There is scarcely a schedule in the
bill that is not subject to attack in
the nature of an exposure of special
privileges granted to the big interests.
The Packers Trust is we'll provided
for. The Payne-Aldrich bill put one
and half cents pound on all fresh
meat. In the pending bill it is three
and half cents pound on beef and
veal, with lamb at five cents pound.
Swine now on the free list, is given
the rate of one-half cent a pound and
fresh pork also is on the free list at
three-quarter cents a pound. Sheep
are taxed at 81 head. But there
has been no change in the rate on
cattle on the hoof which the packers
import from South America, and
frozen meats are barred from compe-
ton.
These are typical of the protection
accorded the big interests.

GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT

Elnathan iartt, superintendent OF
the Old Soldiers Home at Beauvoir,
is making heroic efforts to provide
suitable building for the old Con-
federate veterans of Mississippi. Ow-
ing to a depleted treasury, the State
is unable to contribute, but a bill was
passed allowing county boards of
supervisors to donate $1,000 each,
and we are glad that our county, con-
tributed, through her board, this
amount, on the first day the body
convened after the passage of the
enabling act, being second to report
to Superintendent Tart; Harrison
county, the county in which historic
Beauvoir is situated, naturally being
the first.
Already Fl counties have voted
$1,000 each, and there is not a coun-
ty in Mississippi too poor to help in
this last tribute to those who fought
so bravely for a cause which was
never lost, but whose principles,
many of them, have been adopted by
Congress or by states and upheld by
the supreme court of the United
States.
1t is loving task that the people
of Mississippi have set for them
selves and with such leader as Tart
success appears certain, though there
is much work to be done.
1t is impossible at this time to take
care of all applications from soldiers
or their widows. This is a condition
that should never be allowed to exist,
and as those who bore the brunt of
great civil war are passing down the
western slope of life, as they near its
sunset, it is the heart-desire of those
who know of their vaIor and of their
hardships on a field of human car
mage, that they should have what
they want-more especially what
they need.
After these old veterans have
answered the last roll call there will
be other uses for the last home of
Jefferson Davis. Perhaps it will be
converted into home for aged and
homeless men, such as this state has
never had and is without prospect of
having, Notwithstanding the talk of
one for years. Already there is a
home for old women maintained by
societies. Or the home might be
made for both sexes in the days to
come.
One of the greatest pleasures of
our lives should be to help the needy
at any time, but this lis made en-
cumbent on us when it is soldier
or widow of soldier of the Civil
War, for not many of these men and
women are able to work for them
selves. Those who have accumula-
lions will not want to go to the
Home.
The Home at Beauvoir has been
splendidly managed by Superintend-
ent and Mrs. Tart. This couple is
devoted to the "old boys" and, in
turn, the soldiers and their wives OF
the widows of soldiers look upon
them as their own children. Moth
sng but good, big-hearted kindness
ever comes from the superintendent
and his good wife, and every county
i'm the State can easily spare $1,O0t
as last act of kindness and graft
tude to the gallant soldiers who wore
the gray, and fought for our Dixie
notwithstanding American.
