In the policies of the government.
OUR BLESSING
AND OUR BANE.
! In all the public gatherings In
which our treasures of local and his
toric interest have been recounted,
no one, so far. has emphasized our
chief treasure -both our blessing and
our bane; at once our servant and
our task-master. But, however tyran

Cotton is King.
Augusta, though an Inland town, is
vitally and supremely concerned In

{ln the open door, and lit keeping It
open; in the peace of the world and
In the development of the new de
parture which seeks to make the con
sular force efficient In preserving, ex
tending and facilitating American
commerce.
The demand for It Is so universal
that It is unnecessary for us to ask
aid in securing a foreign market, for
to the South in general and to Au
gusta in particular, come the cotton
buyers from all the groat foreign
houses. From Liverpool and Bremen,
! from England and France, front Uer
| many and Switzerland they come,
j But this particular city and section
i are equally interested In the sale of
;manufactured cotton. Our Interests
du the remotest parts of the earth,
jin places named In the Bible, and
: associated with the very childhood of
the race. Is quickened by the fact
•that the cotton grown in our fields,
I and woven on our looms, goes hence
jto the shores of the Red Sea, to
•the dwellers in Uamascus, in Mesopo
tamia. and in Egypt. And reversing
jour course, and following the West
ern sun from Augusta to Portland,
{from Georgia to Oregon, vast quaftf
jttes of this cloth have been trans-

A BREACH OF
PROPRIETY.
It would be a breach of propriety
:to stress tonight our selfish Inter
ests, were It not that the entire coun
try Is likewise Interested in this stu
jpvndous item of foreign exchange,
•which does more than any other sto
gie commodity, indeed more than any
other four of them combined, to main
tain the trade balance in our favor.
! Cotton brings into the country, into
jibe great banks of New York and
the other commercial ctute.s more
yellow gold than any other article
in which this country deals. This is
jm> excuse for pressing it upon the
I attention of one who must hereafter

try.

chaser than as a manufacturer. More
in reduction than in revision. For it
has boon our misfortune since the
ioundatlon of the government to bear
the burden without receiving the di
rect benefits of the tariff. We had
a natural monopoly of cotton. Wo
sold it instead of buying it, and until
recently, a tariff on cotton could not
help us. We suffered all the ill ef
fects without getting any of the bene
fits of protection; and, on the other
hand, we suffered all of the disad
vantages of free trade between the
states, which outstripped us in all
forms of manufacture. Thinking of
ourselves as living in a continent
with a vast tariff wall aroud that
continent, and absolute free trade
among the states, the south is a con
crete illustration of the results of
free trade. Each man can say for
himself whether that was good or bad
hut we have ,and must have, under
the constitution, free trade between
Georgia and Massachusetts, although,
as an economic question purely ex
cept as to cotton manufacturing we
needed protection against Massa
chusetts. More than Massachusetts
over needed protection against Eng
land.
Until lately, our only interest in
the tariff was in having it reduced
But the recent years-stimulating man

this section,
INTEREST IN
HIGH TARIFF.
Indet d, as interest in high tariff
appears to wane at the North, it be
gins to grow in the South. Without
speaking for anyone except myself,
and without attempting to commit
body to any views on the tariff,
there Is one important article about
which I think they would be agreed.
The farmers of the South are deeply
concerned in legislation relating to
cotton seed —one of the by-products
recently Introduced as an article of
world commerce; nnd. now, even in
Its Infancy, furnishing a manufactur
ed product worth more than a humi
red hill lion dollars. The oil was used
in the manufacture of oleomargarine,
and sold openly and avowedly in com
petition with butter. It also compet
ed successfully In France, Spain and
Italy with olive oil. But, for the
protection of the dairyman at home
it was subjected to an onerous and
confessedly prohibitive tax by con
glress. Qn the other hand, in aid of
the oliv# growers across the waters,
it was subjected to a high duty
abroad so that this wronderful product
—wonderful in quantity, utility and
value, has been whipsawed between
the two, and. while conditions may
make It Impossible to expect their re
peal of the prohibitive tax here, wv
tnay ask that some provision be made
by which, under reelproclt'
clauses of the new tariff bill, oil from
foreign countries shall be kept our.
unless they allow cotton seed oil to
go in.
But time would fail to emphasize
other matters of foreign policy in
which we look to the consideration of
the Federal government. Our clays,
kaolin, naval stores and lumber, and
that long list of articles which the
future student of our age will study,
as the scholar has examined Hom
ers list of ships, to find an epitome
of our civilization, will all be present
ed to the consideration of the Na
tional authority.
BEARING ON
FOREIGN COMMERCE.
They all have a bearing on our in
terest in foreign commerce, either as
articles of export, as articles in com
petition with imports. Immediately
connected with our local interest is
tills river, which is nearly five hund
red miles in length, which draws its
waters from Tennessee, North Caro
lina, South Carolina and Georgia, and
which both in source and course, is
interstate. It is the longest of our
rivers which empty into the Atlantic
ocean. It is naturally navigable, and
the site of our city was chosen 170
years ago, because, then, as now, it
was the head of navigation. To spend
on it a tithe of what has been spent
on other streams shorter in length
and smaller in volume would convert
it into a waterway of immeasurable
advantage to this community, and to
these two states, and serve the pur
pose of the National government in
facilitating interstate and foreign
commerce.
As our people have elected a judge
to preside over their destinies, it is
an interesting coincidence to know
that across the waters, our mother
country has, for the first time in more
than a century, chosen a prime minis
ter who is a lawyer. In both coun
tries. the enforcement and construc
tion of law has oecome so important
a part in the life of a law-abiding
people that the two English speak
ing nations, the United Stales and
England, are headed by men trained'
to that work. One a judge, and one
a lawyer. We confidently bellov?
that, in the high court of the world,
to which at last all foreign relations
may come, they will stand for judg
ments, which make for righteousness
and peace.

it to the letter and went hack to the

with an oil of wintergreen compound

made the following statement:
Eczema first appeared on my
body when I was a child 8 years of
age. For over thirty years I scratch
ed and scratched and doctored. About
the only relief I got was from scratch
ing. The itching was so intense if
simply drove me wild.
' About one year ago, the disease
covered my entire body from my
scalp to my toes. My doctor and my
friends all gave me up as incurable.
“Then I commenced using the D.

application stopped the horrible itch
ing and gave me a night's sleep. It
gave me strength and new hope. I
continued growing better every dav.

would sometimes use the contents of
one whole bottle in a day.

months, the eczema gradually leav
