HOW THE SOUTH IS AFFECTED
IIY THE NEW TARIFF.
Analyzing the schedules embodied
in the Payne-Aldrich In riff bill, recent
ly enacted into law by Congress, a cor
respondent of the Memphis Commer
cial-Appeal discovers that the new tar
iff is distinctively a New Kngland
measure, designed and constructed to
buttress the already highly protected
industries of that section, and that the
South will derive little or no benefit
from it. The bill reveals, for instance,
duties that are prohibitive upon every
manufactured article the South buys,
while upon what the South produces
she will receive no benefits from the
long scale of protective duties imposed
for.the exclusive benefit of the New
England manufacturer. This is well
illustrated in the case of cotton bug
ging. The old Dingley tariff requires
the cotton-grower of the South to pay
a tax of $625,000 a year. Cotton bag
ging was at first put on the free list
in the Senate by the persistent efforts
of the Democrats, hut the duty was re
stored in the conference committee at
the behest of the representatives of one
or two manufacturers in the East,
who virtually monopolize the manu
facture of cotton bagging, in this one
item alone the South is grossly discrim
inated against, as is illustrated by the
fact that the Western grain men get
their binder twine free of duty. The
jaw material out of which cotton bag
ging is made- jute and jute butts—is
admitted free of duty for the benefit of
the Massachusetts cotton bagging trust.
To further discriminate in favor of
the New England cotton goods manu
facturer some reduction was made in
the duties on the coarser cotton goods
manufactured in the South in competi
tion with the New England cotton
gmMs manufacturer, while duties on
finer and higher grades of manufac
tured cotton goods, which the New
England mills manufacture in the
main, are either increased or left at
prohibitive rates. This discloses the
plant purpose to aid the New England
manufacturer of cotton goods in his
competition with the cotton mills of
the South.
Obviously enough what the South has
to sell, with special reference to the
products of her farms, she must sell at
the lowest rate, and what she has to
buv in the finished state she must pay
for at the highest rates of duty.
Ipor these and other reasons, in the
Judh'Tment of the writer referred to
abovtiy the Payne-Aldrich tariff will
work a positive injury to the South in
stead of a benefit. Perhaps it will be
in the purchase of woolen goods that
the South will feel most distress, be
cause the Wool Trust seems to have
emerged from the ordeal of tariff re
vision with more favorable schedules
than were enjoyed before- and that
means downright robbery.
Gov. Brown has appointed Jos. F.
Gray, of Savannah, to the place on the
Railroad Commission made vacant by
the supension of Hon. S. G. McLendon.
Meanwhile the deposed Commissioner
has retained counsel and will institute
quo warranto proceedings in an effort
to oust his successor and have himself
reinstated, contending that he was re
moved from office without due process
of law. Meanwhile, also, the appoint
ment of Mr. Gray restored the board
to its full membership, and at a meet
ing of the Commission yesterday lion.
Warner Hill was elected chairman—the
State Sanatarium except a lack of
money to do the very things that the
officials of the institution have been
chided for not doing.
The State's taxable property will
this year aggregate approximately
$725,060,000, which, at five mills, will
yield $2,625,000, from which is to he
deducted the fees of Tax Receivers
and Tax Collectors, netting the State
about $2,300,000. The State’s other
sources of income are the rental of the
Western and Atlantic railroad, from
which it receives $420,012; near-beer
licenses, estimated at $200,000. Spe
cific taxes and taxes on insurance com
panies will yield something more than
$1,000,000.
