Col. Droyton's .qddress-We spread this important pa
per before readers this evening with high
isan account OF the stewardship Of immediate Re-
preventative, for the satisfaction of his constituents at
very important crisis OF our National legislation 1t will
be read with feelings OF mingled pride aud PATRIOTISM and
must enhance the reputation OF distinguished Repre-
sentative, for those judicous moderate, aud conciaory
counseS which have uniformly guided his public conduct
and which governed his vote for the Tariff OF July
-ChdTieStOn Patriot
We requested to publish the following In that part
OF Col Draycns address, which in opposition the as
sertion that the duties unprotected articles with
few inconsidcabe exceptions entirely repealed under

The Register OF the Treasury in the statement which
referred 10 in the Address, estimates $500 as the
amount OF the duties upon the articles declared free I'M

are not estimated, but ascertaned from official data
amounting by the statement, So, 70967l ought
To be added TO the above 100000 TO exhibit the whole
amount oil the duties upon unprotected articles repealed
by The Act OF lS32.-Charleston Patriot.
IL VIII be seen on referring Col Draytons Address
puOsed IN tins paper yesterday, that che made
by OF the reduction of the duties since 1925 varies
ry little from that given in the Address his
by that gentleman We stated that the reduction ON he
protected articles 50 900 000 and in the aggregate
amount OF the duties Of $l2 600 We made this es-
innate om such imperfect materials as we then had al
hand IL turns out that estimate of the reduction on
the protected articles is within fraction of that stated by
Col Drayton, and within about 3000 600 in the aggregate
amount oil the duties as estimated by that gentleman.
This shall presently show.
Now it will be borne in mind that comparison was
all along between the Tariff OF 1928 and the Tariff
and not between The Tariff of 1925 with the reductions
in 1880 and the Tariff Act OF last July 1t made no part
of our business TO take those reductions into account We
