One Year Cash 111 Advauce $ i .00 Six Months, " S° Xliree Months " " 2 5 Advertising Rates, Transient 2o cents an inch. Prefered Position 15 " " Yearly Contracts 10 " " Thursday, August 12, 1909. A "family man" writing to the New York Times savs: "Ev ery family using iron ore, pig iron, scrap iron, steel rails, cash registers, linotypes, typewritfrs, steam engines, and wood pulp will soon be able to buy them for less, and the cost of living will be reduced. Taft has kept his promises; the tariff is reduced." The state of Alabama leads the van in voting to submit the pro posed constitutional amendment for an income tax to the people. It is greatly to be hoped that enough states will follow this example to make it operative, but it. is much to be feared that thfly will not. ihe money pow ers have been so accustomed to shift the payment of our govern ment expenses, by means of the tariff and other dishonest schemes, upon the shoulders of those least able to bear them that they will not consent to any thing which will force them to bear their due share of taxation without a hard fight. The result will be another indication as to whether or not this is a govern ment of the people. ONCE MORE THE TARIFF. "There are none so blind as those that won't see." That old saying is true today as it always has been and always will be. Our esteemed friend, the Times-Mer cury, is trying to make itself and its readers believe that the tariff is a beneficient institution. Be ing a party organ it is naturally forced into this position, but we have too high an opinion of its intelligence to concede that it really believes it. The tariff, as every reader of history knows, was first established in order to give our young industries a chance to compete with the es tablished manufactures of the old world. Viewed in this light it was not so bad, although we think the principle was always a mistaken one. But mark the result. Instead of leaving these young enterprises to fight their own way we have given them more protection at every move until today they ' 'do bestride our petty world like a Colossus," and the very man for whom they have been ostensibly laboring, the working man and the man when labor produces the goods, is the chief sufferer. We hear much condemnation of the trusts but H. A.Havemeyer, the head of the enormous sugar trust and a man who certainly knew what he was talking about, said, "The tariff is the mother of trusts." Miss Ida M. Tarbell, who has made a study of econo mic conditions, has this to say in the American Magazine for April: "I wrote the bill of 1870," the late Joseph Wharton, iron mas ter, steel master and nickel king, once told the writer proudly. Three men will make the next tariff bill, not one of them a mem ber of Congress," Mr. Have- meyer told David A. Wells in 1894. He was right. That bill, like all its predecessois for near ly forty years, was made in prac tice by the of wool and woolen, of iron and steel and sugar. And in spite of all the signs to the contrary, it is probable they will control the bil of 1909." How right she was in her fore cast is shown by the bill Itself. If the Wilson bill was, as Cleve land said, a measure of party oerfidy and dishonor, how much :nore is this, which, in the face of implied promises by the Re publican party and specific ones by its presidential candidate to revise the tariff downward has made a change which is various ly estimated at from about 2 per cent upward to less than one per cent downward. As a matter of fact the labor ing man. as has been abundantly shown in the Congressional de bates on this and previous tar iffs, gets nong of the benefits of this protection, but it all goes to fatten the gains of the already too rich manufacturer. How ever, we can use our space to better advantage than in trying to teach the Times-Mercury the rudiments of political economy, and shall drop the discussion right here. "Ephraim is wedded to his idols," and we shall dis turb him no more. CHARITY. The Wadesboro Ansonian is having spasms over "indiscrimi nate charity" and threw one the other day to the following effect: "There is a growing disposi tion among some people to rush out with a subscription blank every time a neighbor loses a mule by death or„accident or has a slight fire, and in some in stances. the person from whom the money is being made up, could buy a dozen of those who contribute to the fund. Suppose a mill owneHoses a few hundred dollars by accident in his mill or a merchant has a fire, who thinks of giving him money to make the loss good? Now very few mill owners, or merchants either, make more than a living out of the business they operate. It looks so much like putting a pre * mium on poverty which, in so many cases, is due to downright slothfulness and bad manage ment." This may be all right from the A Bold Step. To overcome the well-grounded and reasonable objections of the more intel ligent to the use of secret, medicinal com pounds, Dr. E. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., some time ago, decided to make a bold departure from the usual course pursued by the makers of put-up medicines for do mestic use, has published broad cast and oeCTITy to the whole world, a full and compmie list of all the Ingredients entering into4he composition of his widely celebrated fcgdicjfies. Thus he has taken his numenrts B&trons and patients into his full ironMence. Thus too he has re« moveyiiis/faedicines from among secret nostr/mr of doubtful merits, and made themfcf lemedics of Known Compoattion.

From this little book It will be learned that Dr. Pierce's med icines contain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral °/.°v ther Poisonous or injurious agents and that they are made from native, medici nal roots of great value: also that some of the most valuable ingredients contained in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak. ?nS V HSKiiii v *^ workei ' " r un-down," nervou« and debilitated women, were-employed, long years ago, by the Indians for similar ailments affecting their squaws.

I Some people have gained a I pound a day while taking it. I, Take it In a little oold water or milk. Get a mail bottle now. All Druggists I Ansonian's point of view, but it does not agree with ours. A book which is supposed to be pretty good authority on this sort of thing says that "Charity suf fereth long and is kind," which appears to be rather against the Ansonian's position. Indiscrimi nate charity never did half so much harm as indiscriminate selfishness, and we think there is a little danger of anybody's being so generous as to need calling down. The statement about mill own ers and merchants has about as little fact to back it as any we have seen for some time. When we see a company stare in with a capital of SIOO,OOO and in three years build two more mills out of its profits, each costing as much as the original, and when we see another paying 10 per cent divi dends and doubling its capacity out of its surplus in six years it does not look much like making only a living. The truth is that in these days, in the South at least, it is the farmer who gets the worth of it and the merchant and the manufacturer who lives on the shady side of Easy street. It is often the case that the loss of a $l5O mule is a more serious matter to the poor farmer than the loss of a $150,000 mill is to the wealthy manufacturer. We hope never to see the day when the Southerner, be he farmer, manufacturer or mer cht nt, will refuse to help his brother in distress. Poverty is a curse and those who do not have to endure it will never lose any thing by helping those who do. Fine Colts Shown. An interesting exhibition of colts, sired by Dictator, the Eng lish hackney stallion owned by the Hickory Hackney Horse Breeding Association, was given at Aiken's stable last Saturday. Eight colts, ranging in age from six months to a year old,- were shown. The winner of the first prize, $25, was a bay, a week less than a year old and weigh ing 820 pounds, bred by Rev. J. A. Yount, of R.F.D. 1, Conover. He is a very handsome animal, and shows the characteristics of his sire in a marked degree, as, indeed, did all those shown. The other colts, in order of merit, were shown by the following: W. S. Strout and J. W. Stearns, tied for second place; J. D Eck ard, A. S. Robinson, Morgan Hawn, N. W. Propst. As Deca tur is now but five years old last year was his first season of ser vice, which accounts for the small number of colts, but it is expected that next year 50 or more will be shown. The serv ice of such a horse will be of great benefit in improving the class ©f horses raised in this sec tion, which should be as good as those bred anywhere. A Baby Camel. The Mighty Haag Railroad Shows have the youngest baby camel in captivity today, having been born in winter quarters at Shreveport, prior to the shows leaving there. The baby, without doubt, is the finest specimen of Siberian camel that can be found in America today. The camel has been named after General Lee, and bids fair to have as ten der a spot in the amusement go ing people as did its namesake in the American public. When visiting the Mighty Haag Railroad Shows which ex hibit at Hickory, Aug.2lst, don't miss seeing the baby camel. Not In The Ti;ust. The Mighty Haag Railroa Shows which exhibit in Hickor on August 21st are not' in th« show trust. Several inducement were made to Mr. Haag to joi> the show trust, but he refuse* all offers and will continue U give the public the same higl class shows, only this season wil be enlarged in every department as the show now travels on ifc own special trains of cars. The trust magnates advised Mr. Haag to obliterate the street parade but he refused positively and this year has enlarged his street pagenent so as to make it two miles in length, with plenty of music, pretty ladies, fin* horses, funny clowns and massive open cages of animals, and takes place daily on the public streets free.
