We contend then that a tariff limited to reven-
uo is ample for the purposes of protection, and if
carried beyond this point will defeat itself All
we ask is that in graduating the duties, the inter-

be sacrificed upon the shrine of privilege AID mo

Oh, yes-lhats the style Of Patriotic talk now
let us have an explanation Of its meaning. The
locos in the United STATES Senate adopt the doe
rine and put the limit at 20 per cent. IA rate
which affords no protection. Now this question
OF limit, is altogether essential-but the Patriot
is silent on that head. Does the Patro, denounce
its lenders? Again: all the Patriot asks is that

THE TARIFF AND THE LAND BILL.

Openly and fearessly do the whole locofoco
party in Congress aud out of Congress come out
Tor repeal OF the Distribution Bill. In one voice
they respond to the Nullifying Legislature of
South Caroua-to repeal this Bill and throw the
fund into the National Treasury. And what
think, reader, is the reason for this 1t is to pre-
vent the imposition of Tariff of duties that
would amount 10 Protection. Ii is conceded that
for years to come The proceeds of the Land sales
will average five millions annually. Put it into
the Treasury and you thereby relieve foreign i'm
ported goods of tax of this amount, and benefit
principally the English Manufacturers thus much
per year, while at the same time, England de-
mands high duties upon what they receive of u.s.
And the operation upon us would be this:
|. We excuse foreign importers from paying
| five millions of dollars towards supporting our
Government, while they demand high duties up
OH our productions to pay for supporting their
Governments.
2 It would take the land fund from the people
or States and nj the same lime cut off protection
to our industry TO this amount besides crippling
our industry in detail ten times the amount.
Ii is in fact robblng misunderstanding for
eign manufacturers from paying duties on the
goods they import, and at the same time consen =
ting, without retaliation, to pay duties upon our
exports, and thus support The crowned heads and
standing armies OF the old world This is The re-
suit of the process which locotocoism would have
us go tn rough. But the most important point is,
it is urged 10 defeat Protective Tariff design.

The South with the aid of the Democracy of

Vaccinations of the Abolitionists in the Halls OF
Congress. But under the new apportionment,
how is this to be done? The non-slaveholdinp

State School Monies.

1t will be seen by an article copied from the
Jefferson Enquirer, that our County has receiv-
ed no part of the monies set apart as a permanent
fund by the State, for the support of common
Schools. Rails has received her whole quota,
and much credit is due to her citizens for the ear
ly and %effectual organization which has been effect
ed in her different School Townships. A little at
tention to their own interests, has been more
than compensated by the amount of the State
School fund which is appropriated to them by
Law. The Townships in this County and else
where neglecting to organize under the Law
of 1889, are losing sight of their interests most
grossly. They do not receive any portion Of the
County School fund, amounting this year in this
County to the sum of 1929, nor do they get a
dividend from the State fund, amounting annually
TO about $4,000, until they are organized under
this Law. 1t is very apparent that if there ex-
listed in all the Townships of the County, a
thorough and efficient organization, that in many
of them the cost of tuition of the children would
be diminished, one half at least of what it now
is. We hope that during this year those that are
now organized will be careful TO have their re-
ports sent in TO the proper officer in due time
and thereby secure a portion of the State fund
for the next year, and those that have not or
yanized under the Law Of 1899, viii proceed
10 become so without delay. Let township off,
see to this in time.

We learn that bankrupts are pouring into
Jefferson City in one long unbroken stream of
humanity. Men that never dreamed of paying a
debt before, are now disregarding every danger of
land & sea-, and moving heaven s earth to pay off
their debts, and obtain a clear acquittance, under
this Bankrupt act. What a glorious Administra-
ton that pays ones debts, by an order of Court!
We hope 10 hear 70 more of the cry of hard
times, when every man may pay off his d.bts
without money or property.
