LCWRY, Atlanta
banker who has written a let
ter of warning against incau
tious tariff' revision.
JitUnta Banker Points Out Dan-
ger of Arbitrary Reductions
JL of Tariff Schedules,
j.Coi. Roberi t J. Lowry, President of
L^wtv National Bank of Atlanta.,
written the following’ totter to
»hr New York Herald, urging: caution
»+w> (ertff revision:
The country jtvralta the carry- •
irig out of the r»olk y of the «J<xjn-
1 riant party with the sincere hope
mat if may bo carried out with
out the economic disadvantages
—■-wMnieh might be entailed by hasty
ot ill considered legislation.
With special regard to the pro-
tariff revision there Ls no
fifC'Ubt Ion that fqany changes
inly he made which will be wel
comed by the members of all
parties us advisable and good. •*
Still, notwithstanding this put.
advocates of tariff revision
should liandlq the matter in hand
with the utmost care and delib-
• ration, and not hasttlg, pas*«a
i*ill which might disastrously, af-
fcct established IntorVsts, whirh
now have tlw* right to cl aim.tar iff
protection.
South Manufacturing Section.
Take into consideration, for
instance, the altered business
conditions, in the Southern States.
*k’hich, as every, one knows, have
undergone many radical indus
trial changes in the past decade
or bo: as also tile 'Western States,
many of which have undergone
material curmperdial changes.
Take the concrete case, for in
stance, of the State of Lou
isiana. The advent of the Mex
ican boll weevil into that State,
completely paralysed the cotton
laising there„ and it necessarily
had to fall back on other crops,
principally sugar cane. In view
of that change, to put sugar on
the free, list now would serious
ly hamper the growth of that in
dustry. and virtually reduce it be
low' the mark where the cultiva
tion of sugar cane would longer
be profitable.
Free Sugar Detrimental.
The same thing would apply
directly to the sugar Industry
in the Western States. If the
tariff reform advocates should
put sugar on the free list they
would benefit the consumer but
» trifle comparatively, and would,
on the other hand, put thousands
of |>eople and hundreds of plants
and plantations out of business.
What individual cares for the
few cents .Additional a pound
that he pays for his sugar? We
pay it. and we don’t know' the
difference: \ess- do we care; but
we shoUUH/rare and give out-
selves grave concern about the
possible destruction of the sugar
industry if .we clamor for and
get a few <MMits< it pound reduc
tion on tbiarWmfmodity by its be
ing put on tHeJfree list.
Entitled to Protection.
Take as a further lesson the
South a' v\ lible. Site has be
come a 'manufacturing section,
and as such ^sHe is now entitled
to the same protection that New
(England as t *tt manufacturing sec
tion has enjoyed for a century
Factories''itf all kinds are all over
our Southern emintry. and new
ones arc being directed continual
ly, and tlw&fceMmihstries shotild he
protected. The South, which as
a consumer ha» paid tribute to
the New Wnglancf section for a
century, is now coming into its
own as a producer and manufac
turer, and sne’* i t s certainly en
titled to the same adequate pro
tection which New England has
heretofore enjoyed.
Just at . the time when the
South caai make her industries
pay the proposed tariff revision,
unless judiciously handled, may
subject much of her product to
. .unpetition with cheap foreign
labor and be the direct means of
allowing foreign manufacturers
corning v in here aipi underselling
and putting 4 out of business many
of our established industries,
which are at this time our pride
and the result of years of en
deavor.

To-day
A. Musical Occasion of such interest as we have this week in the presence
of the Metropolitan Opera Company is one that brings enthusiasm from all and inspires every
one to his or her best spirits and best dress. Every woman loves a dainty evening gown of
delicate shade and soft, rich textures, though she could not afford or would not care to be elab
orately gowned.
The style, the excellent quality, the extraordinary daintiness and the extremely moderate
price of these dresses should interest every woman in Atlanta, including her many visitors.
Flounces of shadow lace grace the front of one pretty model, the back having butterfly
drapery of the silk; another has entire overdrapery of lace; still another has straight back and
draped front ornamented with two full length rows of small buttons, bodice draped with lace
and finished with rhinestone.buckle.
A visit to our third floor will interest you to-day, to-morrow-—all week. You will appreci
ate the many handsome things you’ll see there—including the real style and real quality of the
special evening dresses---two points of great importance—-even though the price is moderate.
American Beauty, Nell rose, Nile green, light blue, pink, lavender, white, pale yellow,
orange, Copenhagen, and black. Sizes 34, 36, 38 and 40. Misses’ sizes 14, 16 and 18.
