Under the high protective tariff policy a comparatively few men are enriched in the manufacturing cen ters of the East, while the mass of laborers employed in that section are not benefited proportionately. Tho agricultural and live stock sections of the South and West are taxed heavi ly by the tariff and receive little in return. The South especially is dis criminated against by the high pro tective duties because GO % of our cotton is exported, the price fixed in Liverpool, and our farmers must compete with pauper labor of the world. A tariff of a dollar a pound cotton would not benefit the far mers of Georgia a cent, as short staple cotton is not shipped here to compete with us. Under the high protective policy of the Republican Party, the South and West pay $1 for every 10 cents benefit they re ceive. The tariff bill now before the Senate was written behind closed doors by the Republican members of the Finance Committee; Democratic members were denied ndmission to the Committee rooms; hut the mil lionaire manufacturers of the East were there, many of whom had con tributed to the Republican campaign fund and were taxing all the people through the tariff so as to get divi dends on their campaign contribu tions. The Republican party is sec tional. If any benefit comes to the South from the present tariff bill it would be from a duty on peanuts and veg etable oils, which China produces in large quantities and competes with our peanuts and cotton seed oil. The Committee gave little protection to these items, but the Senate voted n fair duty, as no one could defend this discrimination. I voted for a duty on peanuts, and cotton seed and vegetable 6ils. Under the present tariff bill, as pnssed by the House, a high protec tive duty was placed on potash,which is controlled by a German trust and would mean a tax of millions yearly on Georgia farmers. All the Georgia members opposed this high duty. Most of the potash is used in the South in fertilizers, and our farmers would have to pay it. The cotton they produce with this fertilizer gets no protection. I offered an amend ment to the House bill, placing potash on the free list, and by a hard fight we have succeeded in getting enough Republicans to help the Democrats put potash on the free list, which will save Georgia farmers millions yearly on their fertilizers. This tariff bill will greatly increase the cost of living by taxing every thing that we must eat and wear and all the necessares of life. After the Muscle Shoals measure passed the Senate last year, it was de feated in the House by a small ma jority. Every other country has ni trate plants except the United States. Soon after we declared war the Ger man Government protested against Chile furnishing this country with nitrates, and tried to prevent her do ing so. The partisan Republicans, because of hatred of a Democratic President, were willing to scrap this great plant and leave the country in time of war at the mercy of the Chilean nitrate trust. They were trying to discredit President Wilson by charging that the money spent on Muscle Shoals had been wasted. They did not care about the great saving in getting* cheaper fertilizers, and manufactur ers in securing cheaper water power which would develop the South more than anything within a half century. I conferred with the Secretary of War several times, and urged that he require all bidders to agree to manu facture fertilizers to sell to the far mers at cost, plus a reasonable inter est rate, and that the power should not be leased to power companies in our section controlled by the trusts, which would prevent competition. I did not endorse any offer until the Secretary of War sent his report to Congress, which showed that Henry Ford’s offer, with certain changes, was the only one that met the re quirements of the Government and assured the farmers cheap fertiliz ers. When the Secretary of War made his report, he sent it to the House only. I feared this would de lay action until after Congress ad journed, and I immediately urged the Secretary to send his report to the Senate so it could be considered at the same time it was before the House Comnfittee. The Secretary granted my request, and when the report was laid before the Senate I made a "motion to refer it to the Ag ricultural Committee, which was friendly to the development of Mus cle Shoals. If Congress will not a- gree to the Ford offer, I favor the Government's development of the power, so as to manufacture fertiliz er and sell to the farmers at cost in times of peace. I was a member of the sub-committee on appropriations which recommended the appropria tion of $7,500,000 to begin work Oct. 1st. In the meantime, I hope Con gress may accept the Ford offer. We shall at least begin the great work, which has been opposed by the fer tilizer and power trusts with a power ful lobby. Our Southern farmers export 60% of their cotton produced and much of their other products. Tho South ern manufacturers must export their rplus goods. The foreign trade of the South has greatly increased in recent years, but the agricultural and manufacturing section of the South has had no branch office of the 'Bu reau of Foreign and Domestic Carikv merce until recently, when I securcrt an appropriation for a branch office in Atlanta. Last year, when all products were reduced, I had complaints from Georgia farmers and ginners that bagging and ties, which are used in covering cotton, was selling at the old high prices, as when controlled by the trusts. I asked the Federal Trade Commission to make an investiga tion, and soon a reduction in prices on bagging and ties enmo. Several years ago, I received let ters from people in my State and others calling attention to the fact thnt the Standard Oil Co. was selling gasoline in Chicago at 5 cents a gal lon less than in Georgia, when tho difference in transportation was less than 1 cent a gallon. I asked the Federal Trade Commission, of which I was a member, to make an inves tigation and we found tho charges were true, hut they were different companies of the Standard Oil. There are a dozen Standard Oil companies, but most of the stock is owned by practically the same people, 51% of the stock of all the companies being owned by 16 people. There was no competition, but it was contended they were not doing anything illegal. Tho Commission called tho attention of Congress to the discrimination and recommended the enactment of laws to correct the evil, but nothing was done. Soon after I entered the Sen ate, I introduced a measure which tho Senate pnssed, preventing the Stand ard Oil Co. from selling gasoline low er in one State than in another. ^(To be Continued) YOUNGS NEWS.

Like the ostrich in the storm they are unconsciously very much ex posed. Have you ever figured out what income your present insurance would produce for your family if invested at 6%? For instance, $5,000 of insurance would yield only $300 a year—less than $1 a day. J. WESLEY CONE, Agent.

She has beer, one ol this government s yrcnteM examples and most power ful defender. In the old days the I'rpfhvterian church's adherence to doctrines and principles, added to the -ire. cth. character, and^ integ- ruv of American citizenship. In ilies* latter days, it seems to me, she has come upon perilous times, I’lRST. - The Presbyterian Church commits a lolly and sin il she permits infamous here tics who deny the deity of Christ and the Infallibility of the Bible to slay in her ranks and to occupy her AS TCI pulpits. I insist the has no right to allow such enemies of God, of home, and of government to carry her name. I think a Presbyterian minister who denies the deity of Christ or the infallible Word of God and continues to occupy a Presbyterian pulpit Is drawing his money under false pretenses. We have all taken oath to teach the deity of Christ and the infalli bility of God's Word, and for that we receive position and compensa tion. SECOND —The Presbyterian Church commits a folly when she becomes a meal ticket for faddists and place-htnitera who constantly- devise schemes and plans, and or* ' ganizations to increase their power, patronage and patrimony. They: live and work exchiaively that they may subsist upon such efforts. THIRD — The Presbyterian Church commita a loITy when she K its her enemies to begin to machinery and centralize her government, thereby detracting : from her power. I don’t believe Presbyterians will submit to centralized power nor to . dictation by agent* and machines. ; They crushed that kind of power , once. I hope they will crush It | again. It must be crushed in gov ernments and it must be crushed in the church. The Presbyterian Church should return to the sovereignity and power and supremacy of her Pres byterian government and to tho control by her presbyteries. Hear my pleal Awake, grand old Church of liberty, righteousness 1 and evangelism.i HONESTY There’s many a puzzlin’ problem lhat attacks a feller s mind, when discoursin’ to a Public, of a mighty various kind. There's some will differ with ye. and there s others that applaud—an’ some that won’t believe ye on yer oath, so help ye God! Which brings the solemn query into this here humble song- Can anything be honest—yet re main, dead wrong? I’ve allers heard that Honesty was fust among the things, that took a man to Heaven, on the shiniest - wings; that a man that wuzzent honest, had mighty nigh well, consult the ticket agent fer the slowest train to hell So, a little sober thinkin’ will arouse the question s;mng,—Can any man be honest—yet, remain dead wrong? I try to foller reason in the ideas I evolve—an I some times pray fer guidance, when I’ve got a thing to solve. . . . I've catered more to jedgement, than to tolerance or taste, in these days of much palaver where the sintax goes to waste. „ . . Let me cast this humbly pebble in the philosophic pool —That Honesty is resky—in the bosom of a Fool I HOMEY" PHILOSOPHY The best way to entertain a man is not to entertain him at all. Don’t make yourself a four-flusher by gv- ing him a better dinner than you always have. But give him what ' you have cheerfully. Then, too, your guest knows you've got* to work for a living and have lot* of things to do, so go an’ do them, tcll- ing your friend to do exactly what mo9t pleases him till you get fin ished. Don’t be afraid to say what you think and don’t agree if you don't . agree, but dor.’t expect your guest to agree with you because you’re entertainin' him. Just widen out. Let love an’ tolerance be King and Queen of the home while the guest is with you. and then maybe you won’t be able to throw, them out i after he’s gone. ESOM HILL, R. 1.
