CONGRESS HAS ADJOURNED.
Concrress adjourned Tuesda
nftornn nnfl thf Senators ai d
UlH.iiwii " ' '
Representatives will have a res
at their homes until the firs
Mo.iday in December.
The important bills enacter
diring this session were foui
in number: To ratify the
Canadian reciprocity agreement,
to leapportion the States int
Congressional districts, increas
ing the number of members o
the House from 391 to 4:);, t.
require the i)ublication of cam
paign contributions before ant
after elections and to admi
Arizona and New Mexico a:
States.
Three important tariff bill
were passed by both houses o
Congress, but were vetoed b
President Taft. On account o
these vetoes, members of Cor.
gress of both houses considered
it useless to remain in sessior
any longer. The President, aftti
getting his pet reciprocity bii;
through, blocked all furthei
efforts to give the country reliet
from tariff burdens by his vetoes.
On account of the President's
utterances in favor of reductions
of the duties on woolen ana
cotton goods and in other notabh
high schedules, the Demoe'k
managers of the House ol
Representatives vere led to hupt
that in the special session the
could give the consumers sorr.t
relief and reduce the huuseholt.

putting on the free list agricul j
tural implements, cotton ties anc j
bagging and other highly taxeo i
necessities of the farmers. Aftei
accommodating the President h.
passing his reciprocity bill re
moving the duties on agricultural
products coming from Canada
into this country, they had no
idea the rresident would withold
his signature to a bill compen
sating the farmers for the
protection taken from them on
their farm produce. Next the
made material reductions on the
wool schedule, which the Presi
dent had said repeatedly was in
defensible. Then they made a
big cut in the cotton schedule,
which was amended in th
Smatebycuts in the iron and
steel duties, in cotton factor
machinery and in dyes anu
chemicals used in cotton manu
facture. The President ha.1
vetoed all these but the cottoi
bill, and is preparing his vet: oi

these bills, the Democrats wou!(J;wil, recejve a colder reception j
have remained in Washington i and havea more disastrous tour
and kept on at work putting nf (llMa cfofoa tVlori MW !
through tariff reform bills. But
it was useless to pass any more
bills when they could not pas:
the President.
The Democratic House has
kept the promises made to tho
voters in the last campaign, and
uciiiouaijiueu meir wnnngnesh
and ability to reform the tarifi
laws in the interest of the con
sumers.
The party will go before the
voters next year with this proud
record. The only thing that
stands between the people ana
relief from the outrageous tariff
burdens is the President, lij
electing a Democratic President
next year, as well as a Demo
cratic Congress, there will be a
reduction and reformation of the
tariff laws all along the line.
WHO WAS GUILTY 01 INGRATI
TUDE? It is strange that the generally
correct Charlotte Chronicle
should put the cart so squarely
in front of the horse in the
matter of the reciprocity bill.
The Chronicle says the President
helped the Democrats pass their
reciprocity bill. The reciprocity
ajreement was negotiated by
President Taft and Secretary of
State Knox. They first got it
through a Republican House, but
failed to get the Senate to act.
Then they got it through a Demo
cratic House and a Republican
Senate by a union of standpat
Republican and Democratic votes.
The Democrats were helping
Taft with his reciprocity agree
ment. If anybody has been
guilty of ingratitude, "it is the
President in riot returning the
favor by at least signing the
farmers' free list bill, and not
the Democrats, as the Chronicle
intimates, in passing it.
AEBP, SIMMONS AND OVERMAN.
Ssnators Simmons and Over
man demonstrated their influence
in the Senate last week by
getting the bill to reduce me
tariff on cotton goods amended
so as to do justice to the North
(sirnlina rot ton mill m;n.
Senator Simmons had it amended
to reduce the tariff 30 per cent
on cotton mill machinery and
Senator Overman got through an
amendment to reduce the tariff
23 per cent on dyes and chemi
cals used in the manufacture of
cotton oods. This put the bill,
when it passed the Senate
exactly in the shape that
Representative E. Y. Webb, the
i'aithful member of this district,
advocated in the caucus of the
Democratic ' members of the
House, and in the shape it will
become a law when W2 get a
Democratic President. --Mr.
Webb, in his caucus speech, set
forth the position of the North
Carolina mill men in its true
light. They are not opposed to
a reduction of the tariff on cot
ton goods, provided the tariff on
the machinery and the materials
they use in the manufacture of
cotton goods is reduced at the
same time. North Carolina
cotton mill men can meet the
competition of the world, he
said, if given a fair show. But
they were opposed to a reduction
of the tariff on the goods they
make unless there is made at the
same time a corresponding re
duction in the things they use in
its manufacture. Senators
Simmons and Overman sent the
bill back to the House just in the
shape that Mr. Webb asked iiat
it should be. Three cheers for
Webb, Simmons and Overman.
The are three tariff reformers
md true to the people of North
Carolina: to the manufacturers
and the farmers. We are for
Webb, Simmons and Overman
against all comers. So are the
reat majority of the voters of
all the western and piedmont
CjUntjes of Nonh Carelina.

THE STANDPATTERS' JOKE.
The standpat Republicans one
day last week worked a pretty
trick on the insurgent Rspubli
cans by absenting themselves
from the Senate and giving the
Democrats a clear working ma
jority and enabling them to
proceed to business with
o.iL the help of their insurgent
allies. The Democrats proceeded
without delay and without mak
ing any excesses to their former
allies, to amend and pass the
House cotton tariff bill according
to their on notion. They put
through amendments to reduce!
the tariff on iron and steel, cotton
mill machinery, dyes and chemi
cals and coal, and would also
have cut down the tariff on
sugar, the worst in the whole
catalogue, if John Sharp Wil
liams and a. few other Senators
from cane growing States had
not stepped out of line. The
standpatters enjoyed their joke
on the insurgents, but they will
have cause many times before
the next election to regret giving
the Democrats an opportunity to
show the country that they will
do just what they have been
raying they would do. To knock
down the tariff in one day on
iron and steel, coal, cotton goods,
mill machinery, and dye stuffs
was going at a good rate. If
Williams and ethers who have
been assuming the roll of the
school master and lecturing other
Senators on their duty to rise
above local interest had not flick
ered, sugar, the best card of all,
would have also been played.
