PROTECTIVE vs REVENUE TATIFFS
As Mr. McKinW pointed out in
his recent spe ch in Sandusky, a
revenue tariff i tits duties on arti
cles not produced at home, while a
protective tariff puts cutties on ;. ni
cies competing with home pro
ducts. This, broadly stated, is the
real difference between the two sys
tems. Both free traders and pro
tectionists are agreed that the bulk
of the honey for the government's
support must be obtained at the
custom house. Each, that is to say,
prefers the indirect to the 'direct
form of taxation, but the free
traders contend that this indirect
taxation should be- levied on such
articles and in such a way that it
could alford no aid to the develop
ment of any home industry, lhe
THE MISSISSIPPI outbaoe
The Mississippi constitution, a
amended recently, works like a
charm. It has reduced the. negro
vote -y about 90,00) throughoui the
State, ami has left but one county
witl. a :iegro majority. In Lowndes
Couaty, where there are live
negroes to one white resident, the
registration stands 200 whites to
one negro. To what further extent
the negro vote may be reduced
when the educational test is applied
is conjectured; it may be guessed
at at least 10,000 more.
The total vote of Mississippi at
the last Presidential election was
115.807: about 5.CKK) negroes who then

men by its 112,823 votes; Mississippi
is to elect seven by its 90,000. Kan
sas has seven Congressmen for its

the the same number for its 90.000.
Clearly, at this rate 200,000 of the
Kansas voters are left without rep

men to S3,C00 voters be the standard
in Mississippi, it ought to be the
standard in Kansas, and on such a
basis Kansas should have twenty-
one Representatives to Mississippi's
seven.
