It will'be observed: that the non- sectional' ‘branch of the South has succeeded -in—putting-its ‘brand-upon afairly. large: number “of important places. 31 Southern Chairmen. In addition there are =32 active committees inithe house:which .ab- solutely-‘controlilegislation:in that body. Of these: 32 committees 31 Democratic chairmen genially i ac- knowledged their homes in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Tennes- see, Missouri and Kentucky. There is little doubt but the mem- bers.of .the cabinet.and the chairmen of the important senate and house committees deprocate the charge of sectionalism brought against them by . :| the North. There are twelve South- ern states, one-fourth of the total number. They represent 15 per cent of . the developed :resources of ' the country. - They comprise 23 per cent: of the area, and about 28 per cent of the population;:about: one-half of which for local reasons conveniently refrains from voting. But-sectionalism is as sectionalism does.” Let us take a glance at”the national viewpoint exercised by this small section of the country which now -happens to be in control, and which deprocates the ¢harge of sec- tionalism. The recent session - of congress, which constitutes only. one- half of the 64th congress, appropri- ated in cash $1,642,439,209, and specifically authorized the ‘additional expenditure of $231,945,275, making a grand total of $1,868,384,484. At this rate the total appropriations of the<64th congress will reach a total In round num- bers the total cost of the Civil War wasg $4,000,000,000, so it will be seen how modestly a sectional congress and a sectional administration com- ports itself when it gets its hands into the treasury. . Preparedness Not Cause. Preparedness was a live issue be- fore this congress, and it is claimed for it, that its extravagance was due to preparedness, yet an analysis of the appropriations of the last con- gress show that $349,103,690 may be properly accredited to prepared- ness, -and the total remains for one session of the congress for other pur- What may gathered:from the fact that the ap- propriations of the last session were the “pork barrel” 'This bill card| ried 'an ‘appropriation of' ‘$40,598, 136.- «Of this .amount = $16,604,430. went into 13 Southern tes, and: $23,694,030 was left for 36 North- ern-and - Western - ‘states.

' 'Wheat and flour, North- ern products, were put on'the ' free list. Rice and rice flour,’ Southern products, were protected.’ Wool, a Northern product, is on the free list, while angora goat hair, a Texas prod- uct, is protected. Band iron for cot- ton ties used in the South comes in free, ‘while all’ other hoops, bands or scroll iron, and barrel -hoops of iron or steel used in the manufactories of the North carry a duty. These ex- amples are typical of a long list of articles. Under these circumstances it is 1it- tle wonder that men of the South hold up their hands in horror and cry out against'the preaching of sec- tionalism, 3 How’s This? ‘We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any:case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by~Hall's Catarrh Medicine, Hall's Catarrh Mddicine Has‘been taken by catarrh sufferers for the past thirty- five years, and has become known as the most reliable remedy for Catarrh.

It did neither. At the beginning of the fis- ‘cal:year of 1913, at & time when im- ‘ports: were nearly $400,000,000 igrester than in any previous year, ‘congress enacted the greatest-tax-bill; ever:laid upon the American people.
