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. MADRAS. Joseph, the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs, J. C. Herring, whose illness was mentioned last week, has breathed his last. He was only fifteen months old. He was sick a few weeks with whoop ing cough; then developed a case of fever, which proved too much for his frail little body. He grew steadily worse until Saturday evening, when death relieved him of his sufferings. The home seems dark and desolate to the broken-hearted young parents, lit tle Marion and grandmother, and we extend sincere sympathy to the be reaved oneB. May God bless and com fort them, for “He will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.’’ The remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery at Newnan Sunday afternoon. We regret to learn that Mr. L. M.

Smith to investigate conditions at the State Sanatarium shall have the effect of urousing public sentiment against the j spent Saturday night and Sunday legislature for refusing to appropriate enough money to properly equip and maintain the institution, a most deair- »ble end will have been attained.
