It is maintained by tlnadvocntes of protection that a hi;:h tar iff brings prosperity to Un people. The advacates of low tariff maintain that a liiiili protec tive tariff i uie.vise and bur densome to the working,-masses that a tariff for revenue is the onl. leal tariff and that this kind of tariff should be levied on luxuries of the rich man and not so much on thf p.ior working man's goods; that the rich omrht to bear more of the burdens of expenses than they now do. The democratic parf, who tire tlw ndvocat s of a loivet tariff than the McKin ley bill imposes, say that the tariff laws have brought on the numerous failures, strikes tramps and bank ru;tc.y,nnd that the wa;-es of laboring men and women are reduced instead of beinp; raised. The Dkmockat ojiened its col umns for a discussion of t he tariff, which lias been induc ed in by Dr. (1i ter, defending the hiijh tariff, known as the MeKinle.Y lavv. In oj)osition to his view we have publish ed the views of '"Alexander Bill," o n d also excellent productions from a Northern gentleman, of fine intelli gence, who writes from Rhea's Forge, Tenn.
