There is one class of people that is

out of the present attitude of the

That class is composed of white and

replying to that splended old Demo
cratic war horse. Koboms, wnen
Butler said anything a little harder
than usual about Democrats, these
Republicans became hilarious with
excess of joy. The truth of the

up all hope of success until the new
party sprung into existance, and now
they are picking up courage again.

Taxing the oppressed farmers to
pay countless millions to Union sol
diers, as demanded by the third
party, is a strange sort of financial re
form. If that is the best reliefthe
third party can 'offer our people,
truly is their condition most deple
rable ! It may afford some relief to
the Union soldiers,-, but how in the
name of common sense can it help
the rest of us ?
About one hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars will be paid this year as
pensions to disabled Union soldiers,
and in addition to this the third
party people demand the payment
of countless -millions to the able
bodied Union soldiers. Are Southern
democrats so anxious to do this, that
they are willing to break up their
old party and bankrupt the country ?

The following is. the text of the
bill as passed the House : "That the
the following articles when imported
shall be exempt from duty, namely :
Bagging for cotton gunny cloth and.
all similar materia! suitable for covei
ing cotton composed in whole or part
of flax, jute or jute butts; cards, (
roving framer, winding frair ;,
bough abroad and used in the manuf ic:
ture of bagging for cotton, gunny cloth
and all similar materials suitable for
covering cotton, cotton gins and
parts thereof, and also hoop or band
iron, or hoop band steel, cut to
wholly partially manufactured into
hoop or ties for baling purpose-,
with or without buckles or fastenings.'
The practical effect of this act if it
became a law would be to relieve the
cotton planter from all the tariff taxes
levied upon him now for articles or
machinery used in preparing his cotton
for market, which in the aggregate
amount to a very large sum.
