The state has had arepublican form of government since the war, but what are called the lower orders have been carefully excluded from the higher offices in South Carolina by ancient custom. William B. McSweeney, who became governor at the death of Governor Ellerbe breaks the rule and has the record. At 4 yearsof age he was left fatherless in Charleston. At 10 | years of age he sold papers on the street. He attended night school and got a job as “galley boy” in a printing office,was sent to Washing- ton and Lee University by the Charleston Typographical union, but was unable to meet the expense, and went to work at the case in Colum- bia, and finally bought a newspaper office at Ninety Six for $55 in cash and the rest of the $500 on time. For the rest he followed on in news paper businees and politics until he was elected [Lieutenant Governor. His is the first record of the kind made in South Carolina, and indi- cates the decline and abdication of the ruling families —Kansas City Star. Is your liver tired? Does it fail todo its duty?

Washington, June 14—A brief dispatch was received at the State department from Ambassador Choate to day, in which ke says substantially that Great Britian will accept the American proposition for the previs- sional Alaskan beundary.

Washington, June 14.—Henry O. Havemeyer, president of the Ameri- can Sugar Refining Company, creat. | ed a decided sensation at the hearing of the Industrial Commission to-day when he opened his testimony with the flat-footed declaration: ‘The mother of all trusts is the proteetive tariff.” At the outset of their work the commission had an understanding that the investigation should be non partisan and that they would keep out all questions relating to the tariff, currency and other matters which were political issues between the parties. Mr. Havemeyer, however, did not approach the question im a partisan spirig and he explained that he spoke as a business man and citizen. He brought with him a typewritten statement on trusts in general and the American Sugar Refining Com- pany in particular, which he asked permission to read before he was questioned by the commission. His opening declaration was a complete surprise. Tha republican members of the commission glanced uneasily at each other, while the democrats chuckled, as Mr. Have- meyer struck thse keynote of the trust evil. Mr. Havemeyer’s statement was a development of the democratic idea that inordinate protection fostered and encouraged the formation of trusts and rendered the pseple pow- erless in that this extreme protection made foreign competition impossi- ble. The present law, he said, gave too much protection to nearly every- thing. He adyocated a nearly uniform rate of 10 per esnt ad valorem on all imports whieh, he said, weuld be suffieient to cover the difference in cost of production as between the United States and foreign countries. Under the existing law, the presi- dent of the Sugar Trust said, the protection given to sugar is equiva- lent to one-eighth of a cent a pound, ora little more than 3 per cent ad valorem. HAVEMEYERS STATEMENT. The text of tha statement read by Mr. Havemeyer is as follows: “The mether of all trusts is the customs tariff bill. The existing bill and the preceding one have been the occasion for the formation of all the large trusts, with very few excep- tions, inasmuch as they provide for an inordinate protection to all the interests of the country, sugar refin ing excepted. Economic advantages incident to the consolidation of large interests in the same lise of busi ness are a great incentive to their formation, but these bear a very insignificant proportion of the ad. vantages granted in the way of pretection under tha customs tariff. “There probably is not an industry that requires protection of mere than 10 per cent ad valorem, and it is to obtain what is provided over such percentage in the tariff that leads te the fermation of what are| ;.. commonly spoken of as ‘trusts.’ ” He contended that sugar is dis criminated against in the tariff in the interest of the Louisiana cane growers, the beet sugar makers and the sugar-grewers of the Hawaiian Islands. tended, the United States annually contributed $24,000,000, which was | taken out of the pockets of the} people. “J repeat that all this agitation against trusts is agaimst merely the business machinery employed to take from the public what the Gov- ernment inits tariff laws says it is! | proper and euitable they should have. It is the Government, through its teriff laws, which pluaders tke) people, and the trusts, ete, sre merely tke mechizery for doing it. | philanthropy. | “Business ia not Capital and labor will adjust their |own relations if they are let alone.
