The Vexing Tariff Question.

Allen G. Thurman the "Red
Bandanna" spoke at Toledo,
Ohio, a few daya ago, aud after
expressing his gratifications at
his cordial reception Mr. Thur
man said:

mers and thus by keeping clear
of the iron-brokers, who had
iron of their own to sell and
would sell it before they would
trv to sell the consignments of
others Mr. Noble saved their
commissions and got a better
price. This plan showed his
sagacity in the time of peril
and it kept the Anniston fires
hot. He knew no such word as
fail. He was inventive of re
sources and aggressive in exe
cuting all' his plans and
schemes. Some years ago he
said to me : 'I am troubled
about these humble people

that people are eager to learn
exactly what is the truth
I refer to the tariff question;
as it is commonly called. Now
I presume that there is no man
in this vast audience who does
not know what is meant by the
word 'tdriff,' or the term 'tariff
law,' And yet it can do us no
harm, and may lead to precis
sion of speech and to compre
hension of what I have to sav,
if I begin by a. definition of
what is the tariff.'
'Tariff, my friends, is noth
ing else in this world than a
tax levied by the General Gov- man who tells me or
it. How in the name of Heav
en can it be that a laboring man
is benefited by such a tax?
'No, my friends, of all hum
bugs by which men ever were
attempted to be deceived, this
humbug of the ' laboring man
being benefitted by a high
protective tariff is the greatest
ever I heard of.
'Ah, but, says some one, it
enables the manufacturers in
this country to pay higher
wages to their hired men and
therefore is a benefit to them?
My friends, did you ever know
ml A v A
any manuiacturer mat paia
higher wages to his hands on
account of an increase of tariff?
If you did you have 1 met with
something 1 have never seen.
'There is a man named Bar
num in this country, a great
showman, a man who has gath

curious things than perhaps
can be found in any other sin
gle place on the face of the
earth, but among all his curios
ities he has never found such a
curiousity as a manufacturer
who paid higher wages to his
hands because of the raise in
the tariff. Laughter and ap
plause. '
'Nay, that is not so at all. I
do not want to speak harshly
of manufacturers; but they are
human beings like other hu
man beings. But I must pass
on.
'Another one of the decep
tions of the tariff orators, or

say that the consumer does not

In looking over the record:? in
the Court House at llaleigh a
few days ago, I stumbled upon
some very interesting facts. I
found that at the Fall Term
18G6, for Wake county, Hon.
Daniel G. Fowle, presiding
Judge, that Gens. Daniel E
Sickles and Thos. Ituger,. Ja.
Bumford and Friday Jones
were indicted for obstructing
the process of said Court.
I also observed on said records
a requisition from the Judge,
upon Gov. Worth, demanding
the posse coinitatus of the
county to arrest these named
parties. The facts are as follows:
At this date the law of North
Carolina had not altered the
punishment for all persons
convicted of larceny. It was
thirty -nine lashes at the public
whipping post. A negro was
convicted, and the Judge, in
compliacne with the law, had
ordered the Sheriff to take the
prisoner to the public whipping
post in the jail yard and infjict
upon him thirty-nine la9hes.
In obedience to this order of
the Court, Sheriff Kay took the
prisoner to the whipping post
and commenced operations:
Just as he struck the eighth
lick iu rushed Gens.Sickler and
Ruger and Maj, Bumford and
Friday Jones backed by a
large crowd, mostly negroes,
and rescued the prisoner, took
him from the Sheriff and car
ried him away. The Sheriff
promptly reported this outage
to the Court. At this juncture
Hon. Sion. II. Rogers the
Attorney General, came into
Court. Judge Fowle said: Mr
Attorney General, djyou know
of any interference ou part of
any one with the sentence of
this Court?" The Attorney
General replied that he had
witnessed the interference,
described its manner and form
aud named the parties.
Judge lowle immediately
Mr Attorney General
e erand jury brought
into Court." This being done,
he recited to them the facts and
said : I direct y u gentleman of
the grand jury, to retire to
your loom and find bills of
price of indirtment agai:i:-t Daniel E.
Sickt-ls and Thomas Kneer and
l -if T: Glean l'rom the Setm.

office.' As he entered, the
President sternly, eaid: '-Mr
Secretary telegraph at once to
IiAleitrh and direct ' Gen Ruger j
to return that prisoner to th KGIXAL, Stoi.ex
Sheriff of Wake county, andi
uireci uen nuger to submit to J
the legal mandate of Judge !
Daniel Q. Fowle.' !
The next day Jade Fowle ;
paid.to the sheriff in open court,
in the presence of a crowded
court house: "Mr Sheriff take
the prisoner to the jail yard
and complete the sentence of
this court.' .Two thousand
people looked upon the sheriff's
second compliance with the
law, and as he struck he called
out at the top of his voice Nine
and so on until he had struck
and called out thirty-nine.
The ptisoner was released and
add allowed to depart and the
immense crowd quietly dis
persed. The law had been
obeyed; the law had triumphed.

An old colored man was seen
at the depot the other day upon
the arrival of the train with a
waiter loaded with fried chick
en and biscuit. As he walked
along up and down, yelling out
must pay on that a tax called a
tariff, and the probability is
among the enormous rates in
the schedule on woolen goods,
that he, will pay a tax of riot
less than 60 cents on the dollar.
That is,, that he will pay six
dollars tax on ten dollars worth
of cloth that he had bought.
Then it has cost 16 that
cloth has.
'Now if any man who im
ports that cloth sells it to a
wholesale merchant, he 'must,
of course, put the tax that he
pays on to il in price, other
wise he would lose money by
the operation, and so when this
importer sells to the wholesale
merchant he charges him 16
for that cloth which cost him
originally but ?10. Nay more,
he charges him 16 and his
mercantile profit on the 6 tax
as well as on 10, the original
cost of the goods. The wholes
sale merchant sells it to the re
tail merchant, and the retail
merchant sells it to hia customers.
'Of course this price with
each merchant's profit contin
ues and is in the goods when
they are sold to the consumer.
So that by the time one of you
buys that cloth you find you
have to pay for it from 16 to
$20, perhaps, not "less than 20
for that which originally cost
$10. So here has been a tax
imposed on the consumer which
amounts in effect to nearly 3r
quite; as much as the original
cost of the goods .
Now, my trienas, tnis is so
true that there is scarcely a
thing that you wear the price
try that a high tariff is for the
benefit of the people.
Now, my friends, there is
another thing these people say.
They come before you and they
draw a glowing picture of tbe
wealth and prosperity of our
country. That is all very well,
indeed, although it would be a
little fairer if they would give
the other side of the picture,
and show how the agricultural
interests and value of agricul
tural property has so wonder
fully decreased since they had
this high tariff in operation.
'But let that pass. I want
you to ask any one of them
who talks to you about the
country being made rich by a
high protective tariff by what
kind of hocus pocus is it, by
wnat Kind or operation un
known to science, unknown to
experience, that a country can
be made riah by thia Govern
ment taxing its people far be

ernment has for taxation.'

To His Excellency, J. "Worth,
Governer of North Carolina
Sir:. The process of this court
has been illegally interfered
with and a prisoner has been
rescued from the sheriff by
Daniel E. dickies and Thomas
Ruger aud James Buford of the
United States army, and Friday
Jones, colored, late a citizen of

arrest of these said parties
(Signed) Dax'l. G.Fowr.K.Judge
This communication was sent
at the moment by Judge Fowle
to Gov. Worth. The old hero
was alarmed at the situation,
which seemed to him an
approaching conflict between
the State aud Federal authority.
He, too, loved North Carolina.
"Sir,' he said, "this will never
do. The attempt to arrest .these
men will force a collision, and
bloodshed will follow this act.
This hot-headed young Judge
will ruin our people. I will go
at once and settle this matter
through President Johnson.'
The next day found him in the
President's office. When he
concluded his statment the
President said: "Sir, do I under
stand you to say that a hot
headed young judge ot your
State has dared to order the
aTrest of a United States officer?'
Yes, sir,' sa'd Gov. Worth.
"Then God bless that hot
headed young judge and every
other one like him iu North
Carolina,' said President John
son. and immediately added

kill hogs. Of course they will
readily understand what a great

being too lazy to work and earn
