For the government to tax one man’s prop erty for the benefit of nnotherr man Is to legalize robbery. Tariff taxation, however, although limited to revenue purposes is apt to and generally will affect the industries that are taxed, and the tendency and nature of all tariff taxation, so far as we» have ev er know f n it, has been towaids pro attention of the people of Georgia. -j.

That New York man who Is being sued for 26 years' board bill would make a fortune by establishing a cor respondence school and explaining Ills J also declares for n general lowering that he was unorthodox on the tariff. Mr. llrantley went Into the subject at soino length during his Interview, during the courso of which he said: "To speak of me ns a protection ist, because I voted for a small rev enue duty on lumber, the same being only about 0 per cent advalorem, la absurd. If all rhe schedule* In tho Payne Aldrich law were like the lum ber schedule, the law would be a sim ple revenue law. The effort of sev eral sections and interests not con cerned with lumber to cover up the favoritism and high protection they enjoy by singling out for criticism, the Democratic votes for a revenue on lumber will not fool many peo ple. That tho present lumber duty Is a revenue duty has Just been dem onstrated by tho proposed Canudlan trade agreement, under which It ap pears that almost ono-tmrd of the yearly revenue that the United States III give up, or uhout one and a half mllltion dollars, arises from the lum- duty. Tho Democratic party stands for a revenue duty, and so the lumber duty is strictly Democratic lit principle. It Is true that the Denver platform calls for free lumber, but it standoff system in a series of lessons by mail. There will bo enough candidates for that senatorial vacancy to cause a deadlock la the legislature and then the Hon. Hoke Smith will win the prize, although he Is not a candidate. And then we will ha\e to elect a new governor.—Dai ten Gazette. Tho reply of Editor Chas. U. Pen dleton to Edison on the Immortalit) of the soul Is convlncicg. charmingly written and argued and should he pre set ved. When Editor Pendleton fin ishes the series we hope that he will publish the articles lu bods or r- of nil the tnrlff schedules. Presuma bly one of tho Justifications for the free lumber plank was the other planks proposing that the people in the lumber sections, as in all other sections, should buy all their sup plies lproe cheaply. I found mysolf In a Republican House, where the majority refused to recognize tho Denver platform or to enact it into law. I found the tariff schedules gen erally being increased, nnd not de creased, as the Denver platform de manded. Under ihcso circumstances, fiee lumber meant to Increase the inequalities and discriminations of lie 1 publican tariff legislation. It meant! to add to the burdens, then bring j tends to protect the domestic article. The amount of the protection will de pend upon the amount of the tax, and In particular cases upon the partic ular conditions existing. This being true, I believe that tariff taxation, while it should be as small as is con sistent with the needs of the Govern ment, should be as general as pos sible, covering as many articles as possible, whether called raw material or finished product, so that Its bur dens will not only be generally dis tributed throughout the land, there by reducing them to all, but so that Its boneflts, whatever they may be. will bo distributed In the same way. T^ere should, of course, be a free list, but it should,«be small and lim ited to tho greatest .necessities. Tar iff taxation ennetod on this principle wtfbJd he Just to. the Government, by providing sufficient revenue, and would be just to all Interests and all sections, for It would allow no room for favoritism or discrimination. "The pending canndlan trade agree- en Is violative of this principle and of my Ideas on raw- material, because it makes raw material free, while leaving the producer of taw material to pay taxes on what he buys. 1 op- po-ed Its adoption by our Democratic caucus upon this ground, nnd urged that we at least defer action until our newly elected Ways and Means Committee could critically examine the agreement and know all that It does. The action of the caucus, of course, suspends my opposition so long as it stands. I.cft to my judg ment. I would never make all the products of the farm and forest free while In the hands of the farmer ana lumberman and dutiable Immediately upon leaving their hands* ns this agreement docs, nor would f place on the free list all the products of the and forest, leaving untouched the high duties that the farmer and Representatives, and Is objectionable oi. tins ground. "What complications with othei countries may arise by our discrimi nating n favor of Canada, I do not know. The traditional Democratic policy has been to treat all countries alike, and thereby avoid trouble. "In the support of the agreement, it is to be said that it has divided the Republican party, and this is a hopeful sign for real tariff revision in the future."
