sleet a small percentage of teachersfrom the magisterial districts met atthe hospitable town fof Gradyville on

others Miss Pearl Hindman read asplendid paper on the value of Litera-

ture¬

in self culture The question

should third class certificates be abol¬

ished was ably discussed by J ACaldwell Rhue Squires and others butwas not definitely settled J A Cald

A CARDI

Editors of The New r

t With all due appreciation of yourIkind mention of my sermons on TheKingdom of Heaven and Civil Goy

ernraent 1 must say that your com-

ment

¬

was too brief to give an adequate

idea of my position on the tariff andIas there has been considerable discussion since aboiJt it I ask for space inwhich to give the substance of my re-

marks

¬

on that topic pt-

x

Incidentally attention was drawn tothe fact that the prjme difference Aibr

tween the Democratic andtheRepubliIJ

can parties in which the one contends

for a tariff for revenue otdy and theother insists on avingigp ot tive

tariff is only academic and cannot berealized in f Ht Even if the Presi-

de

¬

i the Senate and the House off Rep ¬

resentatives were all Democrats and

were to attempt to create aotariff forc Jf

1

revenue only their every impostwould operate as a protective tariff inthe case of products the like of whichis grown or manufactured in this country There has

I

never been a timesince the existence of this contentionbetween these two parties when a taxon articles of Commerce not producedin this country would have given suffi

cient revenue to support the FederalGovernment and now since we havecquired the Hawaiian Islands thePhilipines and Porto Rico and are actu-

ally

¬

producing everything that is madeor that grows under the sun a tariffathat will not act as a protective tariis simply impossibleI

Having made this evident to everythoughtful person who heard the ad ¬

dress I undertook to show why a re-vision of the tariff is desirable In do ¬

ing so> I recited some facts relative tocertain imposts devised by the ColonialCouncil in a British cqlony showinghow the members of the Council beingwealthy proprietors of sugar estatesand the like they imposedduties whichenriched the aristocracy and impover ¬

ished the peasantry I stated thatthere are tariff laws in this countrywhich operate in the same way andadded that it is a hopeful sign of better-ment

¬

when distinguished men in boththe great parties seem anxious to revise the tariff

The main object of my discourse wasto advocate a wholesome independenceof party behests on the part of votersthat competent men may be chosen foroffice who shall be able to cope with thereal problems that confront us

Yours truly W K AZBILL4
