THE SOUTH'S SHARE OF PROTECTION.
The esteemed Winston- Republican
quotes this paragraph from a recent
editorial in The Star:
"A great many, people seem to for
get that the Democratic Senators and
Representatives at Washington are
not in the majority and therefore can
not carry out the Denver platform as
to the tariff. Therefore, the best that
th'ay can do is to see that all the pro
tection does not go to the North."
The Republican then makes this
comment:
"This is about the poorest excuse
yet printed. If Democratic Senators
cannot carry out the Denver platform
they could at least vote and thus
stand by the sentiment it expresses.
Again, if protection is good for the
North it is good for the South. There
is no dividing line in this respect"
The Republican ought to know that
Senators and Representatives are not
sent to Washington for sentiment but
for business. The Star's position has
been all along that if we are going to
have a protective ' tariff, and that is
what the Republican majority is deter-
- mm m '
mmea tnat xne country snail nave,
Southern Congressmen should see to
it that the South gets its share. This
contention in no way violates the sen
timent against a tariff so high that it
burdens the consumers yand yet pro
duces no revenue for the government.
The South,, and as a matter of fact
the country at large, wanted the tariff
revised downward and not upward as
the Republican majority is doing it.
As we are going to have higher protec
tive duties, wouldn't the Republicans
think Squthern Congressmen would h-3
chumps, for the sake of mere senti
ment, to sit in the Senate and thej
Hous-3 and see the tariff revised down-
ward for the South and upward for
the North?
The Republican mus very well
know that consumers in the South,
consuming Northern manufactures,
would be at a terrible disadvantage if
they had to pay tariff tribute to the
North while none of the tribute came
back to the South. The Star's edito
rial was a contention that if the Re
publican majority is bent on protec
tion there should be an equatable
(equal would ba better if it were pos
sible) distribution of the benefits for
all sections of the country, North,
South, East and West. Sentiment cuts
no ice when it comes to the South'3
sharing equally with the other sections
of the country in a tariff that is re
vised either upward or downward. All
should be fed out ol the same spoon.
and it Would be; an absolutely absurd
proposition for Democratic Senators
to be in Washington nursing a senti
ment about the Denver platform while
the Republican majority is scrambling
after all the protection it can get out
of a tariff that is being "revised by its
friends.", The Senate is working un
der the Chicago platform and not un
to r the Denver platform, and South
ern Senators who know their business
will see to it that the South getsa
square deal in tariff distribution. Sen
timent be hanged! The Senate is not
legislating on sentiment now. It is
legislating on the tariff, and if it is
going to be protective, the. business of
Southern Senators is to see that the
great interests of the section they rep
resent gets its proportionate share of
it.
If this doesn't satisfy our .esteemed
TTT? 1 .
winston contemporary, the editor
should read an interview with Mr. D.
A. Tompkins, published in Tuesday's
tm.1.n..i& m
uanuttw . vuserver. te occupies
about three columns - to demonstrate
what The Star endeavored to do In a
short editorial. Mr. Tompkins was
speaking of the cotton goods schedule,
m which the South is vitally interest
ed, because we now spi. more cotton
than the Northern mills, -while at the
same time the South is doubly inter
eeted because it produces the raw
cotton as well" as manufacturer it.
What would the Republican think of
Southern Senators,, if, for "sentiment,"
they would sit by and see 'the cotton
goods schedule revised downward for
the South and upward for the North ?
Our sole contention is that if we are
to have protection on cotton goods,
the South should get its proportionate
share of the bounty There's no trea

in the Senate by those: who par
ticularly represent these inj the. South.
The Representatives of the" whole
piedmont section remained speechless
and allowd themselves to be bluffed
by Dollixer, LaFollette and Beveridge.
Look at the combination and ' we can
but wonder that they succeeded t in
the bluff in so far as the vote of the
South is concerned but happily not
so in so far as the schedule is con
cerned, thanks to the New England
Senators the Yankees." j
The South now spins more than
2,000,000 bales of raw cotton, and the
Southern . cotton manufacturer as wall
as the Southern cotton grower cer
tainly have a right to expect their
Senators and Representatives to take
care of such a great interest when
such a mbmentus question Is up for
action and the "friends of the tariff"
ana working it for all it's worth.
The Philadelphia Evening Times
says Senator Rayner, of Maylandj Is
the most : solemn visaged man in the
United States Senate. He's all right,
however, and' has a remarkable sense
of humor; - but lately he just had to
look shocked at the lame excuses
which some Dsmocratic Senators give
for voting for protective tariff schedules.
Another sign of the improvement
of business is that the- railroads re

last week was 10,589. Within ninety
days a still larger number of the 273.

To the SMALL MERCHANT,
Dear Sir: If you buy money orders
in making remittances, or register let
ters containing currency, you are
practicing ' extravagance, and at the
same time people to whom you remit
form the impression that you are not
well informed as to proper business
methods.
if you will open a checking account
at this bank and pay every bill with
your own check, you will not only save
many dimes and Quarters that now go
to waste, but will establish, yourself
with the only class of merchants
which succeed they all use their own
checks in remitting.
There is another and more Taluable
feature the bank will practically
keep your cash account, and the ban)
