We notice, with regret, that after a gushing introductory speech by Governor - Gordon, of Georgia, Mr. I .Kandall, ot rennsyivama, openeu jtht Atlanta exhibition by the usual argument of men of his faith, in fa ,vor of the robber-doctrine of taxiflg one industry for the benefit of anoth er. It is a matter of surprise to us that even the Pennsylvania states man (?) should have overlooked the jfact that common decency demand ,ed no allpion whatever, on such an joccasipn,.to political matters in which a large majority of his hearers enter tained opinions, different from his own. The opening of a State Fair or exhibit is not the proper time for the discussion of the tariff; and they at whose call Mr. Randall went to Atlanta would not have'invited any one to take a prominent part in the inauguration ceremonies who would use the opportunity for thrusting his governmental views upon the au dience "which was present If Mr. Randall spoke as his sponsors re squired, then tbey were guilty of. an inexcusable wrong, approaching an outrage. v There is nothing new in what Mr. .Kandall said, iiis speecn was an 4 v.attemjpt to show that whatever of prosperity the country is having, and whatever advancement in ma terial wealth is enjoying, is' due to thje act that Congress has taxed some industries for the benefit of others which are not equally taxed. No sophistry even has established any 'such doctrine. Like all others of his way pf talking, he mistakes the ."post hoc'' for the "propter hoc," as suming that because prosperity fol lows the enactment of a particular law it owes its existence to the law. Every one of ordinary Comprehen aion should know that such a state ment is false. - It has often happen ed in this country, as well as others, that there is an accretion of wealth even when the legislation has been glaringly stupid or intensely cor jupt. It would puzzle any one to understand why the imposition' of burdens on one class, for the benefit " ... of another, could add to the Individ .... - ual advantage of those on whose gnouiders tnew.e.ignt was laid. And yet that is just what Mr. Randall and his ' associates ' are obliged, to maintain. They allege that, though ' the growers of wheat arid' cotton are force- to pay more for their clothing and olher articles used by them in oraer inav ine manuiacturer may . conduct I tis business with profit, th ey nave a corresponding return Jn the higher 'prices tney 'realize by the wjthdraW'al of spin pen capital and abor from agricultural ptifsuits. Any man ought to be able to see jthat if the manufacturer contributes ... to 'them an amount equal to what !he draws from their pockets he gets 'noa'dvanUVge at all. If he gets more, it is clear tharthe compensation al feged' exists only in imagination. f' Randall dwells largely on the fact that tecduse of tKe 'protective tar iff certain goods are tower to the con-J r :. -Vi -' i Burner man iney would naye peen; but for its benificent influence, and jthat provisions are cheaper whilst the wages of labor are higher. ' The purpose of this is too plain. It was Qone to deceive one class of his hear ers: But ' we tnink that' trjey who make 'the bread ah'4 meat' an:& have 'it tosel 1 can riardly see lb e aS vant age which 'comes t9 tlVem.v EqudV: 'Jess certain wages are higher, but' the 'cost of living nas 'lajrgdly' increased also. " The gain isnotj therefore, wnat uiia oinewu emissary oi monopolists; . 'l -'"iV r r " -,.V v ' .;. i - avers it to be,! Country, population has largely in-; 'crea'sed; and 'tftere Kas beeiVa'creat advance 5h' the productive capacity pfmahkihd.Uthis:,sh sidered 1&y ahy one who' desires to )nak'e a Mr argument: " 'i' ' " AVe'.naye ofteh' said that no tax on importsncaW 'benefit1 the -"class for Jrhose;Vge;''?iisdign'a un less" it incteasW the 'prices Which' if' pah get 'for its products." ThTs.in- vut feaaers will upaerstanq, we think, that whether there is a lneh 'tariff (brlax) or a low tariff there is always an increase, of wealth m a creased price must be paid by the consumer. If the tax does not in crease the price there can be no pro tection at all.' No one but a block head can deny the proposition and be sincere. " . ' ' NEWSPAPKK CORRESPONDENTS. We are fond of reading the com munications which .we find in many of our exchanges. - Many of them contain valuable information, and nearly all of them are interest ing. Now and then we find one which, from its peculiarities, is amus ing Locality has much to do with the tastes, habits of thought and modes of expression of those who write letters to the press. This must have been observed by all. newspa per readers. If a writer lives in a cityalas I towns are now very scarce which imagines itself-to be the centre of the earth, his mind becomes saturated with the extraordinary ideas of the place, and to him the ant-hills become mountains, the small dwellings get to be palaces, and each inhabitant a concentration of greatness.' The above has been suggested, in part, by letters from Washington which we have recently seen in some of our exchanges. We are convinced that, as a whole, the correspondents from what was once the Federal cap ital have become saturated with the idea that all the learning of the coun try is to be found in that city, and that all the great men visit it andcon tribute to the immense stock already existing. A half dozen clerks in the Departments, and a few dead-beats who hang around, doing nothing, but managing to live by means un known to the rest of mankind, con ceive that .either they or their mas ters know everything whjch is worth knowing, and that it is the duty of patriotism to ventilate their wisdom through the columns of the press. If a lawyer, of high or low standing, stops $p one of the hotels in Wash ington, attracted thither either by professional or other causes, he is at once interviewed and his oracular communications are forthwith her aided as the opinions of a leading statesman well versed in everything pertaining to the, State which he adorns by residing in it He an nounces, wnn tne connaence or a man whose thoughts are simply law, which one of a half dozen men in his State would make the best can vass for Governor or Congressman, and who is the universal favorite for the Presidency of the United States The people Jiving in the neighbor hood of such a learned man get their first information of his greatness from the newspaper correspondent. But they who do not know him are high ly gratified to find that the State has at least one or more men of great ability in it who can be depended upon at ail times to maintain its character and elevate its fortunes. ' We venture to suggest to the few North Carolinians who live at Wash ington, that the people of this State 4 will probably manage their own af fairs without absolute stupidity, if .they will content themselves by at tending to the business which they are assumed to have in charge and be less suggestive of the duty of H - . j -Others. All persons who stop at Washington are not possessed of full knowledge, and he opinions oi some which are quoted are esteemed, in this State, as having just no value at all.- We have a few citizens who never see the Potomac who know quite as much as they whose wise utterances are so pompously set forth, and who do not think that, simply because a man can get to Washington on a free pass, or is even a member of Congress, he knows all things. We have ouite as eood neo- pie out oi ptiDjic me as tnose wno ; iff. ' .. . L i- are in it ; and we q not relish the idea that we must be informed by newspaper correspondents who is or whp is ijqt, worthy of confidence, ye trust Jhat our party, after a free conference, looking only to the gen eral interest and ignoring the de sires of the ambitious, will agree upon nominations of good and trust worthy and able men for all places. We want character without adroit ness, honesty without pretension. We want men of honor in business mat tersmen who will pay the debts they" chntract, and not dead-beats. We have ' had too many of them That was a startling and sad eventtha happened in the midst of the festivities of the President's re ception at Mempnis, Terin., lastSat urdayi : jf udg'e : Elfett, of the Chan cery Court of that' city, bad made a patriotic speecn extending the hos pitalities of the people to the Presi dent and was listening to thp Presi- dent's reply, -r Just as the President uttered the last word of ; his address, the venerable Judge dropped to the floor of the platform, overcome by heat. . Physicians ran to his -assistance and began to apply remedies. The President and- his party ? were whisked H away from the scene to hold the usual reception at another point in tbe city, leaving the strick en man in the : hands ;. of friends. Five minutes afterwards it was an nounced that Judge Ellett was dead. A solemn illustration of the truth : "in the midst of life we are in death." Special Coarse at Ihe Unlyersity.
