THE TWICE-A -WEEK TELEGRAPH rWTDA-r, WATCH 22, TIW. WOODROW WILSON ON TARIFF STIMULATION FLOYD RIFLES TO GO TO EXPO. Tt «! = & “ b JTEW YORK, March 1#.—Th* South Carolinian* of New York gar* their first annual dinner at the Waldorf- Astoria tonight, with former Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, Presi dent Woodrow Wilson of Princeton, and Judge Joe. A. McCullough, of South Carolina, as tne principal speak er*. President Wiison nad for his sub ject "South Carolina's most famous statesman. John C. Calhoun." and gfter paying tribute to him, Mr. Wilson discussed national matters. He said in part: "It Is interesting to note how o» progress is pushed to such a speed and urged hy such means that the peace of the country is threatened. Its interests thrown Into discord. Our trouble the preset,t moment Is that tariff and all special means of stimulation hav been pushed too far and too fast, the destruction of balance and har mony In the social and economic of the "country. We are obliged to ac knowledge lhat we have lost our heads in our pursuit of wealth and material p p« er. “A moment of self-distrust, or rather distrust of each other, has come upon us. We are disconcerted and demor allseed beyond measure disgusted, and therefor.- sadly in need of such coun s<! as shall seek lo restore old balance and harmonies and moderations of ac tion. Stimulated By the Tariff. "Having lost wise self-possession our too eager progress we are In da ger of losing it In our efforts to reform We have stimulated material progress In every war that we could think of. The chief Instrurneht of stimulation ha- he,n the tariff By this means was sought to give to every sort organized industry some special pro lection of law. Until recent years tb momentum thus induced seemed to threaten nothing. "But at last everything moved with a rush, by leaps and bounds. Upon colossal success followed success or ganization. A spirit of madness for success upon a great scale seized upon those who actually conducted the great business and knew how to make them pay: madness for money seized upon those who undertook their manlpu latlon. "We have by our own forgetfulnes of the true principles of legislation Treated classes and put colossal Inter ests at clash with one another. These changes of our own blind contriving have carried us so far that we are actually Invited to alter the whole pla of our constitutional system to set matters right. We are Jnvlted to push government into every experlmen function in order to correct the vagar les of development which we fostered but did not understand. Go to Root of the Evil. "It will require a steady hand and clear head to go to the root of the dls pase, but to the root we should go. Is evident. In the first place, that we ought not to punish the prosperous men for having accumulated the wealth we Invited them to accumulate. I bellev In income and inheritance taxes means for raising revenues. But I do not believe In such taxes, or In any taxes, as a mere means of penalizing the rich, whom we have Invited to their wealth under fosterage of the Government. The root of inequality Is not in wealth, but In the special favors granted by such legislation as the ex travngant tariff laws which hav<? been put upon our statute books since the war began between the States. "What we chiefly need, is a genuine purpose of reform, and sufficient self possession to undertake it. The pur pose can not come from friends and beneficiaries of the legislation of fos terage and privilares; it must come from those who are not Its friends, but Its convinced and earnest opponent*. We get over our hysterta. Mere reform of the tariff Is not sufficient. It Is not even an Intelligent program. The tar iff Is hy no meani the whole root of the difficulty, and la slow to change. Every correction must be a process of ad justment, or prudent rearrangement Moreover, wc must be careful to deal frankly and without fear or favor, with class privilege of all kinds. Wants Labor Reforms. “There Is another as formidable Hn enemy to equality and freedom of op portunltv as It. and that Is the class formed by the labor organizations and leaders of the country representing only a small minority of the laboring men of the country, quite as monopolistic in spirit as the capitallats and quite as apt to corrupt and ruin our industries by their monopoly. If we are to restore the purity of our law and the freedom of our life, we must see to it—In all moderation and In all fairness—that no class whatever is given artificial priv lieges or advantages, that our life move free again of fear or favor, from what ever quarter, for whatever class. What we need is not a square deal, but no deal at all—an old fashioned equality *nd harmony of conditions—a purged business and a purged law." Shaw’s Rssponse to Toast. Mr. Shaw, In rsiponding to the toast. "Ths United States,” took oc casion to refer to the railroad sltua tlon. saying among other things: "Men have been actually scared into serious illness simply by being told that they look sick, and Instances are more numerous still where radical cures have been effected -by producing an optimistic mental condition. There has been reoently given out a number of pessimistic Interviews, and on Thursday last there occurred a se rious local -panic, the result of physo- cological and logical causes. "Not until apprehension of danger resulting from repeated predictions of evil leads to less acreage planted, less raw material purchased for Vhe facto ries. less labor employed, and a cur tailment In consumption generally, will we suffer commercial collapse. Let it be understood that he who In vests ^ils money in railroad extension or in railroad equipment shall be as safe and as secure from the reckless ambition of the manipulator on the one hand and from the reckless ambi tion of the demagogue on tho other, as the man who elects to Invest in farm lands, town lots, mines, factories or forests. Our Circulation Congested. "Our circulation only la congested. In other words, our transportation facilities are far below our needs. I make assertion that we are now as much fn reed of doable tracking on trans-eontlnontal lines of railroad as we were originally In need of tbeae lines. The combined railroads could not transport an army wlrh necessary supplies to the Pacific coast in six teen month*. Our salvation lies in the tact that no army will be needed on the Pacific coast or elsewhere. At least let us so hope and so pray. “The problem which confronts us now is how to induce capital to invest tn additional trackage. I do not be lieve It can be done by legislation or mandamus and through receivership. “Let the Investor in railroads be protected from management having for its end manipulation, and from Government ownership or confiscation having for Its end political aggran disement and the money will be forth coming with which to double and quadruple track our roads as needed, and a measure of prosperity will be assured as great as it is for our com mon good to enjoy."

Batch of Current Gate City News WASHINGTON, March 19.—Six de- islona were announced Monday by the Interstate- Commerct Coinmlsmun, all of the opinion* being prepared by Com missioner Prouty. The most important of the cases decided was that <-f the American Live Stock Association and the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association against the Texas anil Facittc Railway Company and others. Tfi« commission holds that the public requires the es tablishment of through routes and Joint rates formerly provided for In Joint tar iffs, but grants leave to any party to apply for a modification of the order which may be issued In this proceeding at any time and provides that such order shall be withheld for thirty days. The carriers are granted authority to change such Joint tariffs upon ten 'lays’ notice to the public and to the commis sion. In the case of the Birmingham Pack ing Company, against the Texas and Pacific Railway Company and othcra, the commission ordered that a. through route and Joint ratd thereover of not exceeding 50 cents per hundred pounds be established and maintained for ihe transportation of beef cattle In car loads from Fort Worth, Texas, to Bir mingham, Ala. In the cas# of the Blackwell Milling and Elevator Company against the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company, It was shown that on ship ments of flour and other grain products the carrier had enforced an arbitrary charge of five cents per hundred poll ads to be applied In addition to its regular transportation charges upon shipments received from connecting lines, but it discontinued Imposition or arbitrary, ef fective February 11, 1907. Arbitrary Rate Unjust, The commission bolds that this five cent arbitrary rate was unjust and un reasonable and requires the carriers to efraln from applying the same during a period of two years hereafter. The complainant Is awarded reparation In the sum of $113. The case of the Ponca City Milling Company against the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas Railway Company was based upon the same facts as the fore going case of the Blackwell Milling and Elevator Company and the commis sion’s decision is to the same effect. The complainant is awarded reparation in the sum of $37. In the case of J. B. Harrell, against Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway company, complaint was made of the unreasonableness of a rate on coal from St. Louis, Mo., to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma as applied to shipments originating In West Virginia, covering total distance of over 1,300 miles; but the complaint Is held by the com mission to put no question of practical importance in view of the proximity of the coal fields In Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kansas and also the much shorter distance from coal fields In Colorado and Missouri. The complaint is dis missed without prejudice to tho right of the complainant or any other person to call in question the reasonableness of this same rate In case It shall here after become of actual consequence. In the case of D. W. Durham against the Illinois Central railroad company, complaint was made that the rate of 21 cents per hundred pounds on brick machinery, in carloads, from Lockland. Ky, to East St. Louis. Ills., was un- asonab e and unduly discriminatory. The coir.mission holds that the rate from Lockland does not violate sections or 4 of the statute and further that he rate from Lockland Is not upon the evidence presented unreasonable under the first section of the law. ATLANTA, March 19.—At the an nual dinner of the Atlanta Chamber ot Commerce tonight. President W. W. Finley, of the Southern Railway, who was one of the principal speakers, de voted his remarks entirely to the re lations between the railroads, on the one hand, and the people and the State and National Government on the other hand. Without referring to any spe cific action by Congress or the State Legislatures. Mr. Finley Indicated his belief that the present trend of legis lation endangers the prosperity of the railroads and of the country alike. Mr. Finley said It had always been the de sire of the railways to maintain cor dial relations with the people along their lines and that the railways must cultivate the good will and co-opera tion of the public by the adoption and promulgation of economically and com mercially sound principles in the con duct of their business. Mr. Finley re viewed the progress of the South and said that its pressing need today Is for better and more extensive trans portation facilities. "If the railways are to secure the large amounts of new capital required to enable them to meet the rapidly in creasing demand for their services ’’ he ss!d. “their credit must be such as to assure investors of a reasonable return upon their money. The South now has rates that enable Southern producers to market their products In widely sep arated home and foreign markets on such terms that they can compete suc cessfully with similar products from other localities, but It has not the means of moving those products to - n Kan . as be re p reS ented in this market as promptly as is desirable. con f erencPi a nd jt is expected steps Governor-ele?t Hoke Smith and urge him to reappoint Judge Sampson W.

After referring to the public aid given to railway construction In the early days, Mr. Finley said the great .need in the economic situation In the South today H that the entire people of that section should realize thet the period of railroad construction has not passed and that there is now as much need of encouragement, not financial, but of the moral favor and support of the public as ever. While approving the policy of Im proving rivers and harbors at public expense. Mr. Finley contrasted the at titude of the public towards carriers by water and by rail, pointing out that the former pays nothing for his highways; that it is maintained and Improved at public expense, while the carrier by rail must construct his own highway, must pay heavy taxes and is subjected to increasing governmental supervision and regulation. He urged a popular understanding of the fact that rail transportation Is more Important than water transportation, expressing the belief that when the Interdependence of the railways and tho people is un derstood, the people will be as reluc tant to place obstacles In the way of railway improvement as they would be to oppose the Improvement of water ways. will be taken looking to the organiza tion of a Kansas State Union in the near future. The membersshlp In that State is now practically sufficient for State organization. On Wednesday, March 27, at Marion, HI., President Barrett will assist In the organization of the Illinois Farmers' Union wh'ch will, at the start, boast about 35,000 members. Of these about 22 000 were recently taken In from Il linois Farmers' Union which, while bearing the same name, was an en tirely different Institution from the Farmers’ Educational and Co-opera tive Union of America, of Which Mr. Barrett ils president The National Farmers’* Union had also acquired a good membership in the State, so that the new State organization will start out under the most favorable auspices. From Illinois President Barrett will go direct to New York city where, with representatives of the Southern Cotton Association, he will meet John R. McCall, representative of the Na tional Spinners. Mi*. McCall was presi dent of the conference held last May in Washington between the spinners and producers, and still acts In that ca pacity. The object of President Barrett's .visit lo New York is to confer with Mr. McCall regarding a conference this summer between the American spinners and the producers of cotton, with a view to establishing direct trade relations between the growers and pro ducers. At this meeting a date will be set for the conference which will prob ably be some time in June. Two places have been suggested for the confer ence Atlanta and Norfolk. Some want to go to Norfolk on account of the Jamestown exposition, while others are anxious that the conference be held “His civil career has been no less brilllfy^ and distinguished. Sampson W.

Hart on March 14, the Su preme Court today appointed the fol lowing committee from the members of the Georgia bar to prepare and re port a memorial commemorative of the life and character of the late Judge Logan E. Bleckley, former chief justice of the Supreme Court; John L. Hopkins, chairman: Spencer R. Atkinson. William A. Little, Sam uel B. Adams. John S. Candler, Jos eph R. Lamar. John C. Hart, Z. D.

The Supreme Court provides In it3 order that the committee make report to the court at 12 o'clock noon on July 3, 1907, which is the SOth anniversary of Judge Bleckley’s birth, and at that compound, how to MTange them into such nice proportions as to blend ths taste, the operation and the chemical peculiarities of each several ingredient in order to product » pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of doctors, pharmacists oi “ chemists. WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPEND8 UPON THE DRUGS THEM SELVES. The compound must present a stability which is not affected by changes d temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. It must be so combined that it will remain just the 3amo whether used in the loggio^i or mining camps of the northwest or the ooffee plantations of the tropics. A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would net enable any drug gist or physician to reproduce Peruna. It is the skill and sagacity by which these ingredients are brought together that give Peruua much of its peculiar claims as an efficacious catarrh remedy. But should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any med ical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them Pe-ru-na as a Catarrh j Remedy Beyond j Criticism. \ an Illustration legislation proposing to Impose penalties for failure to supply cars or to perform other services with out regard to whether such failure Is the result of wilful negligence. He pointed out that the present demand for cars is beyond the capacity of the railways and the car builders to sup ply and that t'he imposition- of car- service penalties would, compel dis crimination in favor of shipments wholly within the borders of the State Imposing the penalty. "It must be apparent,” said he, “that the inevitable result of this will be to bring about a competition of greed and rivalry be tween the States to see which can im pose the heaviest penalties and secure the largest supply of cars and the most prompt service, and that every penalty imposed for failure to do the Impossible must reduce the ability of the road to secure more cars and other needed bet terments. It must also be apparent that such a policy is in direct violation of the common law rule forbidding dis crimination, which has been incorpor ated In the Federal and State statutes. It compels discrimination in favor of transportation wholly within the State imposing the heaviest penalty against other States and against Interstate traffic.” After referring to the radical differ ence between the obligation upon the shipper to pay demurrage charges when he withholds from Its proper use property which does not belong to him and the proposition to penalize a rail- Oregon In which States the work of organizing local union is already well under way, and also to Washington, Montana and South Dakota In which States he proposes to set the work in Motion. President Barrett has receiv ed numerous letters from these f&r Western States as has also National Secretary R. H. McCulloch, of Beebe, Ark., urging them to come out there and assist in organizing the union In those States. Already a number of mass meetings have been held in these far Western States and ln many places the farmers are ready for the organiza tion of local unions. Owing to the importance of the work involved, and the long trip which Pres ident Barrett will haev to take, it will be impossible for him to return to Georgia in time to attend the Sea Is land Cotton and Sugar Cane Rally of the Farmers* Union which will be held in Valdosta on April 2 and 3. Other Officers of the union, however, will "be there, and the occasion will be ma-de a memorable one. B'efore leaving Atlanat President Barrett stated in an interview that more than 160,000 members have been taken into the Farmers’ Union since the big convention held in Atlanta on January 22. President Barrett is con stantly in receipt of advices from the various State officers, and these show that the unjon's membership has in creased to that extent.

THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHATEVER. Peruna is composed of the most efficacious and universally ‘ — 1 u 1 1 —‘ used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputa tion of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh. But however much virtue each ingredient of Peruna may possess, the value of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in which they are combined. PERUNA IS NO LONGER A MYSTERIOUS WORD, used to designate an inknown compound, hut the trade mark title oi a legitimate pharmaceutical impound which no physician or set of ohysicians will undertake to belittle. Peruna brings to the home the COMBINED KNOWLEDGE OP SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treatment of catarrhal diseases; brings to .he home the scientific skill and knowledge of tho modern pharmacist; and ist but not least, brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr Tartman himself, in the use of catarrhal remedies, and in ths treatment of ■atarrhal diseases. But admitting that Peruna is an excellent catarrh remedy, admitting tiiat 10 doctor could find any reasonable objection to it as a medical compound, tho uestion will be asked by some, is the patent medicine idea a feasible one? Is t practicable for a doctor to put up a remedy for chronic catarrh and place it ipon the market at a price far below what the average doctor would be able ,o furnish it to the patient for ? Is this a workable theory ? Are not the people iable to make mistakes in the use of such a medicine? We think not We think there is no chance to make any mistake in tak- ng Peruna for chronic catarrh. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent.

ATLANTA, March 19.—A peculiar story is told of a young white boy who is an inmate of the State reformatory near Milledgeville, but whose name is not on record at the office of the prison commission. About a month ago the boy made his escape from the reformatory and no trace of him could be found. ' The other day he turned up at the institution and quietly re sumed his former routine, not offer ing any explanation of his absence until questioned about it- Then he said" he had found life at the reform atory so pleasant that he was anx ious to have his brother there with him. So he went home to try and persuade him to come. "But he wouldn’t do it.” he said. “He’s a mutt and don’t know a good thing when he sees it.” The boy had walked to hfs home and back, a distance of some 200 miles with no other end in view, as investigation established the truth of his story.
