R. J. WALKER,
Secretary OF the Treasury
Treasury Department, Nov. 2, 1916.
Thus is the tariff OF 1916 already self-vin-
dictated, and Mr. Walkers estimates more
than sustained. We will add, in conclusion,
that, under the me,g tariff the exports Of or
o,cn products largely erceed the imports; thus
showing what the protectionists call the bal
ance of trade in our favor. Oh Mr. Web
ster, Mr.. Evans, Mr.. Huntington, Mr.. Abbott
Lawrence, distinguished as you all are, where
are your predictions? Surely, neither of you
is Daniel in financial prophecy, whilst the
much abused estimates of MIR. Walker come
out of the lions den and the fiery furnace un-
scatked.

the spirit and enthusiasm which animated the
large and respectable number of the citizens
OF Wayne, who were present on the occasion,
onothe all-important question which had brot
them together Several addresses were deliv-

considerable amount of stock was subscribed
for We have no doubt but that the people of
Wayne are thoroughly aroused TO the imPor-

that they will do as much as can reasonably be
expected of them TO further its accomplish

pressing necessity that exists for all those who

q BLOOD For RInnnn

mere are many who strongly advocate the
doctrine that {. whatsoever shedde,h mans
blood, by man shall his blood be shed ), Thay
claim this to be sound scriptural doctrine md
therefore contend that every man who l;lls.a
human being forfeits his life therefor. and
should be hung. Now, none can consistent.
" contend that the doctrine is less sound when
applied to one individual than when applied
to various individuals, collectively: and if it
is the right and duty of government to take
the life OF one who kills another human being,
it certainly is the right and duty of govern
ment to bring to strict account those who
kill several persons, and without any justlta-
bic cause. With these facts promised, let
these principles be applied to the Mexican
war. All ought to know that this war was
begun by the Mexcans, who shed American
blood on American soil the President then
stated the facts 10 Congress, and they, more
unanimously than in the war of '76, or 1912,
| recognized the existence of the war; and pla-
ced men and money at command to secure our
| rights from further violation Victory after
| victory has attended our arms ; but while the
sword of Justice was held in one hand, the
olive branch was held in the other Offers of
an honorable peace have been made by our
government and rejected by the Mexicans-
They could have peace al any time, and would
have had it before now, had it not been for
their military chieftains, and those among us
who have given the MeXicans g aid and COM
fort" by holding out TO them the delusive no.
ton that the war is unpopular, and that the
whg leaders, if placed in power, would fav or
the Mexicans. All wings have not so con-
Quoted but many have, and still continue
| their WayWard and anti-American course
None ever deny that tie Mexicans first killed
part OF Capt. Thonton's Company on our ter
rltory. Now the question arises. do those
who claim that the shedder of mans blood
shall be executed, act like consistent men and
justify our government in the course they are
taking? If they 30, they act consistently
but if they do not, they act inconsistently-
This class of men should be watched, and oc-
casionally their memories logged and their
course noted. Either they must justify thi:
war, or act the part of hypocrtes about the
doctrine of taking blood for blood. Which
course do they prefer Columbian Register

14n1eracan Tea-We learn by a communi-
cation in the Union, that the Hon. James Bu-
chanan, Secretary of State, has recently re-
ceived package of tea, grown in Brazil,
from our Consul at St. Catharines. The leaf
is something larger and darker than the Chi
nese tea; its flavor is strong and aromatic, and
resembles the hest specimens from China.
When prepared, it strongly. assimilates the
mixture of black and green tea, so much--in-
deed, almost exclusiveIy-drunk in England,

United States, may be looked upon as mat
ter of certainty as climate exists in the
States of North and South Carolina, Georgia,

the climate of the tea growing districts OF

CHARLESTON AND New YoRK-NEw STEAM
BOAT LINE.-We have Just read an article in
the New York Courier & Enquirer of the 29th
ult., in which it is stated that two first class
steamships are in progress Of beng built for
the trade between Charleston and New York
These two steamers are to be twelve or thir-
teen hundred tons burthen, and are to cost
$3.50 900 each. Some estimate can be formed
from these figures OF the character and quail
ties Of these moving palaces. Now, what is
the meaning of all this? Why, that at pres
ent there is no proper or convenient land route
for the accommodation of the travelling COM
munity. Indeed, this is the very reason as
signed by the Courier & Enquirer. But the
point which we desire to bring to the particu-
lar attention of this community, is the fact
that, ere long, if we do not take care of our
selves, we, of Wilmington, will be cut off from
the great travel between the North and the
South. What will then become of our Rail
Road line' Why, it must literally go down.
| By next fall there will be steamer leaving
Charleston every other day for New York
Does any man in Wilmington not see that by
this operation very large portion OF the life
blood, if we may use the expression, will be
| withdrawn from Our Rail Road Still we
hold back, and will not seize the means to
avert this evil The only way we can RENE
dy this is by building the Manchester Road.
Why will we not set about this in real ear
nest ?

The HERKIMER CoNyENTIoN.-Thls body
of disorganizers met on the 26th ult., at Her.
kimer. In our last paper we spoke OF the
avowed object of this Convention. we notice
in the accounts which we have read of its
proceedings, that the Hon. c. c. Cambreleng
occupied the Chair, and that lntiammatory adj
dresses were made by John Van Buren, and
the Hon David Wilmot, of Pennsylvania. AS
we anticipated, the Convention endorsed the
W;lmot Proviso A long address was read bv
Mr.. Van Buren,, which will go forth to the
world under the auspices of the Convention.
Since matters have assumed this attitude. we
do most sincerely trust that the sterling De-
mocracy of the Empire State, fully represented
as it was in the Syracuse Convention, will
present bold, fearless, and uncompromisinc
front to this fanatical wing OF the party Let
them do this, and they can put down this dark
spirit of Aboltionism which seeks to ruin the
party. Wewill hope that the sober, rejecting
men, who have been led off by designing lead
ers, will yet stop and ponder we'll the conse-
quences of this dark movement
