that the country was tired of their

The above .is a sample of some of

claimant in the newspaper line for
' ' public favor a ncwapapei'Hhat lays
the most of its claims to public appre
ciation to the efforts it is making to
awaken enterprise and encourage -immigration
into the state: Of course
- the reason why these newspapers make
such a joke of "shooting niggers,' the
reason they esteem o lightly the life
? of a "nigger " as they call him, and
are Horry he was not seriously, hurt, is
V because the- negro claims the right, to
: differ with 'them politically and dares
. , to vote against their party. Who ever
heard of their being glad lhat a negro
was shot who . could so far forget the
party that achieved his freedom as to

these Dlatforms one would think wonld

pure and simple. Sugar, rice, iron ore,
cotton goods, wool, lemons, oranges.
sumac and even peanuts temper the
fiery free trade eloquence from the other
southern states', and ln some cases these
articles have a mollifying effect upon
the platforms. True a tax on quinine
or on cotton ties, though both are man
ufactured articles is regarded south as
either "blood money" or "a blow at the
only great southern industry," yet '50
percent on sugar and 100 per cent on
rice, both , raw materials, are looked
upon as about the fair thing.
Why expect consistency? At the
best, southerners are bat varioloid pro
tectionists. ii. " :
WHERE FREE TRADE ARDOR COOIiS. "
In spite of the1 talk to the contrary
free trade ardoripcoola as it reaches the
northwest. During a month's stay in
Washington have talked with many
western senators and representatives,
and they tell me the western farmers
are also, getting down to work on the
tariff question, and are likely to arrive
at a practical conclusion. Aside from
the tariff on wool the farmer gets little
direct benefit from the tariff, and for
that reason he is likely to examine the
effect of the system, as a whole upon
tbe agricultural, interests of the coun
try more closely than the manufacturer.
Fortunately the American farmer is an
intelligent, man. He does not skim,
but reads thoughtfully. Some cf the
jaiumi -abyahjng queatlonsaked fa6
since my returc from a year s tour
through industrial Europe were those
of Ohio farmers. Philosophic fustin
will pot gO down with them. Economic
dudes who talk of history as the "lire
some repetition of one story," wbo haye
no time to bother with facts, are una
ble to convince them. Learned doc
tors with a long array of letters after
their names, who read papers at a con
gress or convention do not appal them.
Mere pamphleteers cannot . terrorize
th era . The unsettled question of po
litical economy, to my uiiud, at least,
still more numerous and important
than its established maxims, the" far
mer is williDg to leave to others. The
facts atid the question of his own pros
perity he will take up for himself, with
a hope of solution.
The western farmer will listen to a
man like Mr. J. R. Dodge, who has
spent the last part of his life in the
study of the statistics of agriculture.
He is one of the most painstaking sta
ticians in the world, and His December
report contains facts that every farmer
in this country should read before vo
ting to demolish even one brick in the
tariff edifice that has increased the val
ue of his land, the value of its annual
per capita product and the wages of
the tiller of the soil.
INDUSTRIAL TALUKS '
Let us turn to this report for a . mo
ment and learn Eomething.of tha effect
of a non-agricultural population on an
agricultural population, in other words
the value of diversified industries. For
this purpose, Mr. Dodge has divided
the states-and territories of the Union
into foury classes, the first having less
than 30 per cent engaged in -agricultural
pursuits; the second 30 per cent and
less than 50 per cent; the third 50 per
cent and less than 70 per cent, and the
fourth those having 70 per cent, and
over the ideal free trade states and
territories. The value of land per acre
in the first group is $38 65; idlhe sec
ond, $30 55; in the third, $i3 5and in
the fourth. $5 18. Here we find that
as the; proportion of ag ricultural to
other workers diminishes, the value of
land increases, but in a much higher
rate. V '.V' ' :r-:;''r -v
An important fact surely for the far
mer. '
This is not all.
The cultivator of the soil obtains an
annual product of higher value, the
value of agricultural products per capi
ta in the first group being $457, in the
second $394, i the third $261, and in
'the fourth $160. ,
With nearly twice as many agricu!-
tura! prcducetfin the fourth group as
.reoond in the fir.t.we tie total
value of the product $160,000,000 more
in lhn first. Tn nthar words, thft labor

Another important fact lor toe Urmer. I
Does the farm laborer share this ad- I
vantage? Mr. Doge comes armed , to
the teeth on IhU point, with, -hit he
regards as trustworthy returns of the I
wages of farm labor to the department

agricutural labor averaged nearly $25
a month in the first and second groups;
$19 50 in the third and $13 20 . in the
third and $13 20 in the fourth.
An important tact is this, for the I
farm laborer especially, when he re-1
members, in conjunction with it that

the intelligent farm laborer think of f
'that?
Thus we find the western farmer care- 1

tion ot industry than upon the fertili-
ty of the soil, and that the farmer's in-1
come is highest where farmers are fewJ
est. Instead of the prosperity of man-
ufactures sapping from the agricultural I
industry, it encourages it. During
twenty years of manufactufiog growth
and under a high tariff the number of
farms have doubled from 2,000,0000 in
I860 to 4,000,000 in 1880; their value
has increased in that period from $6,
000,000,000 to over $10,000,000,000.
j. The production of cereals Iras increased
from 1,230,000,000 bushels in 1860 to
2,700,000,000 bushels in 1880 surely a
healty growth.

Do these geuilemeu stop io consider
that under a judicious protection we
have increased our annual home pro
duction of iron ore, from 900,000 tons
in 1860 to 9,000,000 tons in 1883,"an
increase of 1000 per cent. Theoretical
political economists say we should have
left this in its rocky bed and sent its
annual value of $35,000,000-10 Spain

If Xhc farmer and the miner are not er

is not. If, on tbe whole, the system menced airew during this .period, and
has injured the country let it go, but
never suppose the foundation can be
undermined' and the building remain
firm and erect. '
I have already shown what diversified
industries (many of them called into
existence by the tariff) have done to
increase the value of land, product or
agricultural labor. The history of
twenty years, in manufacturing under
a protective tariff in the United States
is ai recital of increased product, in.
creased number employed . and de
creased price of the manufactured ar
Uicle to the consumer, and because this
is true I believe in the protective tariff
and defend it. The coal product of the
country has increased from 14,050,000
tons in 1880 to 88,000,000 toss last year.
The product of iron ore, as I have
shown, has multiplied ten fold; the
metal industries in 1860 employed 43,
000 hands, to day they empioy 300,000.
Industries relating to wood then gave
employment to 130,000 persons, now to
340,000. m The 60,000 employed in our,
woolen industries-, have increased to1
160,000. In cotton we now emplj 200,
000, and the vaue of the product has
doubled. The silk industry in 1860
employed 5000; over 30,000 now are
busy in the industry, while in free trade

It is remarkable that in the first five
years of the third period the total ex
portation of domestic rice -was greater
by nearly 40 per cent, than in the elev
en years !Sbseqnent. The rice iodus-
if il hd aoy encouragement at all. It
wss in the prctection afforded by the
import "tax on 'foreign rice. .This was
equivalent s to giving the home produ-
cers a start of say 80 per cent; ad valo-
rem in tbehome markets against the
foreign grain delivered duty paid. But
even wltlTthis advantage, while the
pricei glittered they were' not necessa-
rily profitable. The crops were culti-
vated for many years at extraordinary
cost and at ereat hazard. These em-
barrassments were diminished Mn pro
cess of time, and meanwhile, as labor
became - more efficient and less costly
and the consumption of , rice increased,
so the area ofcultivation and poduc-

m0rial from Col. John Screven, of 5?a
. '
tanah, officially representing thi ric
industry of Georgia, praying that the
present tariff on rice be retained, with,
facts showing tbe absolute necessity for
such v protection. The following is a
synopsis" of Col. Screven's memorial;
It is now, he says, the commencement
of the year, and the planters should
commence operations for the new crop.
The agitation of the tariff is giving
them such concernithat there is a gene
ral fear that their investments, going
backi-in someL instances, more .than a
hundred years, will have to be aban-
and some of the most , liberal bankers
and factors are. calling in their loans,
thus crippling many and ruining some
of the planters. It is, therefore im
portant that it should be known as
soon as possible what is intended to be
done to the duty on rice. There is
Srea
fear that some adverse measure
aaY he
sprung in the committee on
Ways. and Means, aod theiice industry
Buffer3 there in the very outset. Col.
Screven gives facts demonstrating the
reasons for tjiis anxiety and mistrust.
He refers to the increased importation
of Hawaiian rice. Thakiog advantage
of the American market duty free, the
whole Hawaiian crop is sold in the
Unite! Statesjat an , enormous profit.
The American rice industry under the
ruling of the Treasury Department of
last summer is now laboring under com
petition more severe than it has en
countered under the old tariff, and fur-

1 Ihe only advantage that' American
rice ? now has ovsr the foreign product
is that the former is commonly a better
cleaning. Tht re i nt reason why our
system of milling and cleaning should
not be adopted abroad and foreign rice
be made quite equal in quality to Amer

answer to the charger of excessive duty

saves American rice labor from starva

of the rice mdustry of Georgia will
also be presented by Mr. Nicholls. It
is signed by Mr. James M. Johnston,
President ol the Bavanuan uotton bx-
chauge, ana other representatives of

action."
Three Particular Points, r
Point First Brown's Iron Bitters is
not an intoxicating' compound. It is a
tonic medicine, not a drink. It is a
skilfully compounded preparation made
to restore strength and healtb, not a
beverage to be sold in barrocni) ' and
taverns.
x Point the Second.t--Brown'a Iron Bit
ters is free from everything injurious.
The most delicate ladies and the most
I enfeebled infants may use5 it with per
feet safety and with great advantage.
While it is powerful in its remedial
agency, it is gentle in its operation,
restoring wasted strength and imparting
robust health in the most efficient man-
ner.
Point tle Third. Brown's Jron Bit-
ters is made by the Brown Chemical
Company of Baltimore, a long estab-
liihed house, whose reputation is well
known to the business world and the
general community. There is no risk
in baying such a medicine.

leaders," who havo "only a care for

ever drew a dollar from the U. S.
Treasury. Now we freely admit, that
all of them are men 01 flesh and blood;
it is only the Democratic party that
contains the pure and holy Saints, who
eat no bread and butter, but live on
patriotism and godliness. Here are

The southern local papers give us
occasional glimpses of life in their sec
tion, which is quite in line with the
ku klux testimony, though the victims
are pot always negroes. The George
town, (S. . C.,) Times tells a story Con
cerning Mr. Harrey L. Carter, whom
it describes as a good citizen, who had
uecu uunyo iu piuacuuuug w
selling liauors without a license. : A.
party of men to whom his course had
given offense rode out to his house one
night an J deliberately discharged their
guns through the window into the bed
where they supposed Carter to ba sleep
ing. They then setfirejto the fences
around the dwelling. Mr. Carter, for
tunately absent, so no harm was doae
beyond badly frightening the ladies,
the sole occupants of the house, and
the destruction of considerable fencing.
Two nights later the mob returned and

Carter, the only one he possessed. The
lawless gangs, whose outrage against
defenceless blacks are winked at by the
better portion of the whites get a taste
for blood, riot and destruction that will
not always be satisfied with burning
and whipping and shooting negroes.
It is a dangerous weapon, which the
public which tolerates it will yet find
to its cost. Those who doubt the tales
told by the negroes may yet judge of
the kind of terrorists that are let loose
in tha south by the stories which the
victims of their violence occasionally
have to relate. Phila. Times.,:
Never before, af least since the war
h is New Orleans received in one season
so many, visitors from the north ep dur
ing the present. winter, and seldom if
ever before has she been less attractive
to persons in search of a genial climate.
lee is seen id New Orleans oily once
in seven or eight years, an an average,
but ice has formed there at least six
times during the present month alone.
Moreover, rain and fog have made the
chilly atmosphere unspeakably depress
ing a great part of the time, and alto
gether it would b6 hard to conchy el a
more dreary winter city. The Times
Democrat, which frankly admits the sit
uation and 'apologises to visitors, begs
them to remember that the present ex
ception proves the rule of a pleasant
winter climate in New Orleans.
'Faith in Gad is what .is needful to
be a Christito," said the Rev. John F.
Naugie at a revival meeting in Troy the
other. Sunday afternoon; and, tak
ing a silver quarter iu ! his hand, he
continued: ''Now, I should call one of
those little boys up here and place this
quarter in his hand nothing on earth
rnuld convince him that he did nnt
have it." The words were scarcely eut
of his mouth when a six year old
stepped put of the pew, marched to the
altar and held out his hand for the
money. The clergyman had not in
tended to apply his illustration in pre
cisely that manner, but he perceived
that there was" only one thing to do.
