Democrats Revising
The Present Tariff
Washington, D. C., April 7
The democratic party in full poss
ession of the executive and legislat
ive branches of the national govern
ment today turned the wheels of
legislation toward a revision of the
tariff.
Leaders of the house presented to
the country a tariff bill voluminous
in detail and radical in its propos
ed reduction of existing duties.
As a whole it was the product of
debate and study by the democrats
from the time they came into majo
rity in the house two years ago,
but it represented particularly con
clusions of the house ways and
means committee.
It carried also the approval of the
president.
Coincident with the introduction
into the house, the president was
turning over in his mind questions
of procedure and strategy on which
the success of the party program
demand. While the democratic
majority in the house is sufficient to
gain tariff revision by a single bill,
or by a series of bills embracing sep
arate schedules, the situation in the
senate admittedly is different, as
sectional interests have already pro
duced, alignments which make the
question of method all-important.
Seven of the ten democratic mem
bers of the senate finance committee
early today led by Chairman Sim
mons, told the president that no at
tempt to put through a single bill
would be hazardous.
With all schedules moulded into a
single bill they argued that the en
emies of special schedules, feeling a
certain response to the will of their
constituents who might be adversely
affected, would unite and the whole
measure could he defeated. The
president said that he did not be
lieve any of the democratic senators
would seek to shoulder the respoi s
ibility for defeating the program of
the parly. He nevertheless heard
in detail the arguments advanced
for a schedule-hy schedule revision
and decided to consult again with
Representative Oscar Underwood,
leader of the house, who favors the
single hill process.
Late in the day the president
talked with Mr. Underwood. The
latter declared as he left the White
House, that the president was still
undecided and that no conclusions
had been reached. With the pres
idents disposition to await develop
ments, Mr. Underwood said that
the caucus of house democrats to
morrow would begin to consider
items and the question of a single
hill.
The president, in the meantime,
will canvass, t hrough his friends the
senate. If it should l>ecome appar
ent that a single bill cannot pass,
but it is not unlikely he will consent
to a segragation of the sugar sched
ule providing for a duty of 1 cent,
with the free-in-three-years provis
ion, from the rest of the bill.
This, it is believed would insure
the passage of the great bulk of tar
iff reforms by the democrats in the
senate, while the regular schedule
wiff lie pulled through with the aid
of progressive republican votes.
PRESCRIPTION
For a Long Life.
This Is the prescription for a long
life given by an old gentleman in Con
necticut, who is ninety-nine years old
and still well and cheerful, “Live
temperately, be slow to anger, don't
worry, take plenty of exercise in the
fresh air, and, above all, keep cheer
ful.”
Should the system get run down —
digestive organs weak—the blood thin
and sluggish, take Viuol, which is a
delicious combination of the medicine
i—body-building properties of cods'
livers, with the useless grease elimi
nated and tonic iron added. We re
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength-creators in
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ga.,
Bays: "If people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, you would be
unable to supply the demand; it is
the finest tonic and strength-creator
I ever used.”
We wish every feeble old per
son in this vicinity would try
Vinol on our agreement to return their
money if it fails to give satisfaction.

FIRST MESSAGE IN
WILSON WASTES FEW WORDB IN
TELLINO CONGRESS WHAT IT
BHOULD DO.
TARIFF REVISION HIS TOPIC
President Says the Schedules Must Be
Radically Changed to Square With
Present Conditions, but Work Re
quires Careful Consideration.
Washington, April 8. —'President
Wilson’s first message to the Sixty
third congress, assembled in extraor
dinary session, was read in the senate
and house today. It was surprising
ly short, being in full as follows:
To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives:
I have called the congress together
In extraordinary session Wfecause a
duty was laid upon the party now in
power at the recent elections which it
ought to perform promptly, in order
that the burden carried by the people
under existing law may be lightened
as soon as possible and in order, also,
that the business interests of the
country may not be kept too long in
suspense as to what the fiscal changes
are to be to which they will be re
quired to adjust thenißelves. It is clear
to the whole country that the tariff
duties must be altered. They must
be changed to meet the radical altera
tion in the conditions of our ecnomlc
life which the country has witnessed
within the last generation.
While the whole face and method of
our industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recogni
tion the tariff schedules have re
mained what they were before the
change began, or have moved In the
direction they were given when no
large circumstance of our Industrial
development was what it Is today.
Our task is to square them with the
actual facts. The sooner that Is done
the sooner we shall escape from suf
fering from the facts and the soouer
our men of business will be free to
thrive by the law of naturu (the na
ture of free business) instead of by
the law of legislation and artificial ar
rangement.
Business Not Normal.
We have seen tariff legislation
wander very far afield in our day—
very far Indeed from the field in which
our prosperity might have hurt a nor
mal growth and stimulation. No one
who looks the facts squarely in the
face or knows anything that lies be
neath the surface of action can fall to
perceive the principles ui>on which
recent tariff legislation has been
baccd. We long ago passed beyond
the modest notion of "protecting’’ the
industries of the country and moved
boldly forward to the Idea that they
were entitled to the direct patronage
of the government. For a long time—
a time so long that the men now active
in public policy hardly remember the
conditions that preceded it—-we have
sought in our tariff schedules to give
each group of manufacturers or pro
ducers what they themselves thought
that they needed in order to
maintain a practically exclusive
market as against the rest of the
world. Consciously or unconsciously,
we have built up a set of privileges
and exemptions from competition be
hind which it was easy by any, even
the crudest, forms of combination to
organize monopoly; until at last noth
lng is normal, nothing is obliged to
stand the tests of efficiency and econ
omy, In our world of big business, but
everything thrives by concerted ar
rangement. Only new principles of
action will save us from a final hard
crystallization of monopoly and a
complete loss of the influences that
quicken enterprise and keep inde
pendent energy alive.
It is plain what those principles
must be. We mußt abolish everything
that bears even the semblance of priv
ilege or of any kind of artificial ad
vantage, and put our business men
and producers under the stimulation
of a constant necessity to be efficient,
economical, and enterprising, masters
of competitive supremacy, better
workers and merchants than any in
the world. Aside from the duties laid
upon articles which we do not, and
probably cannot, produce, therefore,
and the duties laid upon luxuries and
merely for the sake of the revenues
they yield, the object of the tariff du
tleeT henceforth laid must be effective
competition, the whetting of Ameri
can wits by contest with the wits of
the rest of the world.
Development, Not Revolution.
It would be unwise to move toward
this end headlong, with reckless
haste, or with strokes that cut at the
very roots of what has grown up
amongst us by long process and at
our own invitation. It does not alter
a thing to upset it and break it and
deprive it of a chance to change. It
destroys it. We must make changes
in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system,
whose object is development, a more
free and wholesome development, not
revolution or upset or confusion. We
Woman In New Sphere.
Oporto is the only city in Portugal
that can boast of having a feminine
health inspector, a woman having
been appointed by the government to
a subinspectorship in the department
of public health. Another striking ap
pointment by the government comes
with the selection of a well-known
woman scholar to a professorship in
ordinary at the Universities of Coim
bra and Lisbon. The lady professor
in question has been appointed to fill
tilft chair in Germanic philosophy. _ „
K. P. Banquet
Tuesday Evening
The banquet of the Knights of
Pythias on last Tuesday evening,
was quite an enjoyable affair.
The knights and their guests as
sembled at 8 o’clock in the castle
hall, where they were entertained
with a short program hv Miss Wy
ty, Mrs. Browning and Col. Burch,
of Mcßae, after wieh they repaired
to the Yarn Hotel and partook of
vinands delectable to the inner man.
A Itevy of beautiful young girls
served. Prof. L. H. Browning pre
sided, in his inimitable way, as
Taostmaster.
Those responding to toasts and
their subjects were Mr. R. T. Jack
son, “The duties of the inemlsTs t<
their lyodgv; ” Dr. ('. T. Hall, “Tin
duties of the Lodge to its members:
Mr. J. C. Urquhart, “The duties ol
the memliers to each other;” Col.
Hamilton Burch, “The benefit of a
Lodge to the town;” Col. L. A.
Whipple, "The advantage of being
i Knight;” Col. Will* Stallings,
“The Ladies.”
The Knights of Pythias is one of
the most prosperous and progress
ive lodges in our city, and its en
tertainments arc looked forward to,
with pleasant anticipations.

J. E. HOLLAND, T. R.
must build up trade, especially for
eign trade. We need the outlet and
the enlarged field of energy more
than we ever did before. We must
build up Industry as well and must
adopt freedom in the place of arti
ficial stimulation only so far as it will
build, not pull down. In dealing with
the tariff tha method by which thia
may be done will be a matter of judg
ment, exercised item by item.
To some not accustomed to the ex
citements end responsibilities of
greater freedom our methods may in
some respects and at some points
seem heroic, but remedies may be
heroic and yet be remedies. It is our
business to make sure that they are
genuine remedies. Our object Is clear.
If our motive is above Just challenge
and only an occasional error of Judg
ment is chargeable against us, we
shall be fortunate.
We are called upon to render the
country a great service in more mat
ters than one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods should
be thorough, as thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the
facts as they are, and not worked out
as if we were beginners. We are to
deal with the facts of our own day,
with the facts of no other, and to
make laws which square with those
facts. It is best, Indeed It is neces
sary, to begin with the tariff. I will
urge nothing upon you now at the
opening of your session which can ob
scure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty. At a later time I may take the
liberty of calling your attention to re
forms which should press close upon
the heels of the tariff changes, if not
accompany them, of which the chief
is the reform of our banking and cur
rency laws; but just now I refrain.
For the present, I put these matters
on one side and think only of this one
thing—of the changes in our fiscal
system which may best serve to open
once more the free channels of pros
perity to a great peopje whom we
would serve to the utmost and
throughout both rank and file.
