Ail an ultimate
result, tariffs
have usually benefitted the North
and injured the South. . This Vis
nd complaint against the North,
but the purpose is to say that: if
vrevhave free Wool, ' free sugar
arid nearl free cotton goods, the
tariff now being worked UDo'n in
Washington is going to be again
a 'tariff wich benefits the North
aricttajares the South. It does
tlje North no particular harm to
hftye steel rails, put on the free
lisji, The steel interest of Amer
icai's competitive with that of
Europe without any tariff at all,
but' it will be enormously to the
injury of Louisiana and Porto
Rico if. sugar -is put en the, free
list.,. The theory of free trade
nas always aone tne oujim inju
ry.' it was a part or the institu
tion , of slavery and helped to
bring on the Civil War. The
South being free trade and not
self-supporting in a manufacture
Ng yv, we lost the Civil War.;
tV?e agree that there 'ought to
be reasonable reductions in the
tariff. We have a tariff made by
the; standpatters, and it is as u a
fair to the average American cit
iizeH'as free trade-would be; but
there is no use of the whole
American population jumping
into the free-trade fire and then
back "gaitf- At least 80 per cent
half way between these
two; heresies and this great pal k
of the people divide and go with
one or the other of the militant
extremists when there ought to
be a fair middle course.
-"" We hope the tariff on wool and
on sugar will not be cut over 25
per cent and that the tariff on
coarse cotton goods will not be
cut at all. There may be some
room for its reduction on finer
grades, but the present tariff on
coarse goods is a fair one. This
is proved by the fact that there
is a reasonable amount of these
goods coming in all tne time.
There is no call of consequence
by the people, for either a pjrd
hibitory tariff or a free-trade
tariff. -: There is a middle ground
which at i the,.-same time- raises
revenue arid utilizes the revenue
tax to promote . American indu
try. This reasonable middle tar
iff is the one that is . Wanted by
the people of this couhttv, - and
the Democrats should, heed this
fact.

A gold medal to the school boy .

on the repair and maintenance
of earth roads, is to be awarded V
by Logan Waller Page, Director, ,
office of Public Roads, United ' '
States Department of Agricul
ture, Washington, D. C All
compositions must be submitted
to Mr. Ps3 before May 15. 1913,
and the medal will be awarded
as soon thereafter as the compo
sitions can be graded. The com- .
position may be based on knowl-'
edge gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations should
be madel 1
After many years', experience y
in 'dealing with the public road
situation of the countrv, it is Mr.
Page's belief that ignorance on ,
the subject of repair and mainte
nance of roads is as much the
cause of their bad condition as
any other one factor. It is ex- ,
pected that the competition will
bring about a better understand
ing of the subject of repair and -;.
maintenance in the rural dis
tricts. -
; Many children living in the
rural districts have experienced
the disadvantages bf roads made
impassaDle through a lack of
proper maintenance and it is ex-
pecked that their interest in the .
competition will timuate great-
er interest among ..the parents.
Bad roads have prevented m uiy
children from, obtaining -a proper
education and have eveu: 'pre-
vented doctors from reaching the
side of rural patients in time to- :
savetheir lives. . t
Any child between the age
mentioned, attending a country
school, may compete. Only one
side of the paper must be written' -on;
each page should be number
ed; the name, age, and address
of the writer, and the name and
location of the school which he ;
or she is attending must be plain
ly written at the. top of the first .
page. The announcement of the
competition has been sent to the '
superintendent of schools in' the
rural districts. ,: No further in- .
formation can be obtained frona r
the Office of Public' Road: This
announcement shouW he plain to
