QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS,

view at some length the late letter Of Gov Grason
upon the subject of the resolutions Of December
1887 affirming the sale Of the State bonds under
the act of May session 1885, TO the apeake and
Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Companies. That review has suggested the follow
ing questions and answers, which we submit 10 an
intelligent community:

BY BRYANT.
Great were the hearts, and strong the minds,
OF those who framed, in high debate,
The immortal league of love that binds
Our fair, broad Empire State with State.
And deep the sladness of the hour,
When, as the suspicious task was done,
In solemn trust, the sword of power,
Was given to glory'> unspoild son.
That noble race is gone; the suns
OF fifty years have risen and SET;
Blu, the BRIGHT links those chosen ones
So strongly forged, are brighter yet.
Wido-as our own free race increase
Wide shall extend the elastic chain,
And bind, in everlasting peace,
State after State, mighty train.

A CATECHISM ON THE TARIFF.


roT '"e use " put" PeoP'e ~ co"'"o" Se"se'
Question: What is tariff!
Ansuer, A Revenue Tariff is an mposition
of duties on articles of foreign INN r,a,ion to
produce suppes for the Government. The
duty is low to encourage a large importation of
British and other goods to destroy American
Manufactures.
A, Protective Tariffdiscrmnates and inposes
duties on such articles as can be produced and
manufactured in this country
o. What is the object of a Protective Tariff?
A. TO support the government chiefly from
the duties collected on such articles as are no,
the growth and produce of this country-to prc.
vent excessive mportations-to give employ.
ment TO the wealth and labor of this country in.
stead of foreign countries-to make US indepen
dent of Great Brtain-to cheaper manufactured
poods-to furnish home market.
o. How are YOU TO get revenue if YOU impose
comparatively high duties,
A. One half the importatons at 90 per cent
will produce as much revenue as double the i'm.
portation at % per cent.
o. How is the farmer to be benefited
