tCJsThe Spirit orhe .age, seconds the call
upon the people we made some time since to
mark the division Of parties on the Tariff question,
admits its Tory brethren in the free states are
united with the slave interest of The South in oppo-
slon to the protective system, and embarks in the
discussion against the Tariff policy with its usual
spirit and ability. This is frank and above board.
We have not room this week to notice the argu-
ment of the Age agains, protecting free labor-we

You say, and embark in the discussion with your
usual spirit and ability, we shall, at least, have
hope Of fair and honorable controversy.
By-lhe-way, the admission of which you speak,
as having been made by us, cannot be found in any
article we have written on the Tariff question:

THE DEATH OF CILLEY.

Mr. Wise divulged a fact Of some moment, dur.
ing debate in the House Of Representatives of FIJI
day last, in relation to the duel between Messrs
Graves and Cilley, which resulted in the murder
of the latter. Mr. Wise stated that the preliminary
arrangements Of the duel was effected by the Sem
ators from Kentucky, Mr. Clay and Cri,tenden.-
Mr. Wise said he did not approve of the arrange
menls, and regretted that he ever entered the field
under them. The Kentucky senators arranged n
conflict in which Kentucky representative wss TO
take part, and of course everything was shaped to
sied that foul play Of the darkest hue. was prnc-

from one Of the principal actors in the scene, that

AMERICAN EXPORTS.

An attempt is now making by the friends Of hch
tariff, to show that we produce little or nothing,
which the commercial restrictions of foreign coun-
tries will permit US to export, England, France
and other foreign countries they tell us, will buy
nothing we have TO sell, and therefore we ought TO
impose such duties upon their productions us will
prevent our people from buying any Of them. In
short, the argument is, that foreign nations will
have nothing to do with us in the way of barter or
exchange rade-ihat they drain our specie from, US
for every thing we take at their hands, and wo
have no course left, hut 10 manufacture every thing
for ourselves and FIR as we can, exclude foreign
articles from our shores.
These are statements from which the friends of
high tariff rely. lftrue they are entitled To great
weight Ae they true or are they distorted per-
versions of fact, got up for effect, to aid the pecu-
liar interests of the manufacturing capitalist alone
First let us look at our commerciul operations a,
they are. During the year ending the 3Olh of Sep
TENDER 1910, our exports TO foreign nations Of the
growth and production Of our own country were rs

THE ENQUIRER, Vol. l. No. l, containing
series of Letters to Protesting Christians, by Ed
WARD C. DELEvAN, with an appendix, with or
without pales.-December, 1871.
This number was received, n month since or
more, and would have been duly noticed had not
pressing duties rendered a careful perusa mprac-
tcabe. We are at length enabled to give the work
a favorable notice-a hearty welcome. So far as
relates to the "Communon Question:" SO called
we shall, of course hand it over to the Churches,
as Nh Delevan would desire. But we may be able
to express the opinion that he has shown, conclu-
sivcly, that no evidence can be drawn from the
Bible, to justify the use of termented liquors on
sacramenta occasions. And hence, as il is known
that an overwhelming ma jorily of Temperance PEG
pie are in favor of Total abstinence from all Inc
brating drinks, the inference would seem TO be
cred table, as well as others; especially, since it 10
now understood that aafermenied wine can be
obstained for religious purposes. We are not able
to perceive by what process, the eril or iatorca-
ting spirit CT 10000 or 100, 900, gallons of fer
meAtei wines, annually consumed, in the United
States, for the communion service, can be so neu-
lralised, as to produce any less dele,erious effects
than the same amount slipped with equal moder-
alton.
Then follows an Appendix, containing the HUI
man Stomach as it would be affected by Alcohol, if
taken under other circumstances. But as we be-
fore sald this question belongs to the Churches,

These facts are from official statements of Sec
rotary Of the Treasury. There is no mistake in
them. So far then are foreign nations from refu-
sing to bny any thing we have 10 sell, that they
are buying of US to the amount Of one hundred and
thirteen millions per annun,.
But there is something more. During the wear
1910. we actually exported to foreign countries,
property TO the amount Of S26, 766 .O59, over and
above the whole OF our imports from the same
countries. Or the amount imported too, during
that year, more than eight million dollars were ia
specie. Instead then of foreign countries refusing
to buy OF US, they buy more Of US than we do or
them. Instead Of their draining US Of specie, the
balance is in our favor, aud we are receiving spe-
Gle from them.

In taking charge Of tho publication Of this pa

TO say much as to the principles which the Free
Trader will hereafter advocate, ina5nuch MS he
mcn,, and it is his determination still TO support
the same principles which have heretofore been
promulgated by the FREQ Trader Considering
the principles Of the great democratic party
tal to the prosperity of the Republic he conceiyes
ii to be his imperative duty to do all in his power
to promote their advancement. lie shall not, how
ever, blindly support any measure, merely because
ii originated with the democratic party he claims
the privilege to "ook before he caps'-to exam
inc all measures thoroughly--and it, in his OPT
nioa, they are consistent with sound democratic
principles, he shall yield them his warm support,
but if not, they shall encounter his equally warm
opposition. Nor shall his party zeal at any time
induce him to withhold from public view any par
tcle of corruption that may come under his notice,
whether in the affairs Of the nation, Of our state,
or our own county.
Our Wing friends may expect in us an uncom-
promising, yet, ii is hoped, honest and courteous,
opponent. We shall not hesitate to ccnsurc them
where censure Is due, nor shall we, on the other
hand, refuse to give them credit wherever it may
be due. They shall, a, all times, have fair hear

to give his views to the public on any proper sub

words may suffice. None can more deeply lcpIorc

some extent, now exists in the ranks of the hiher-

and we believe it to be the da,y Of every good and
true democrat to make every necessary sacrifice
TO effect aNunion OF the party before the August

mated by the democratic convention in May last
