"a Chiefs AMANG YE TAKiN' NOTES"
The New Orleans Delta has a clever CORES
pondent, who travelled in company with Ge-
neral TAYLOR and "the Kings own" (New
York Tribpne,l and who amused himself, TO his
hearts content, with the two editorial "follow.
ers," Bullitt Of the Picayune, and Hodges OF
The Bulletin. The swelling Colonel Hodges
seems TO have answered as the principal butt for
his Jokes. In a letter from Nashville, this Delta
correspondent narrates some amusing anecdotes
of the trip. He furnishes, moreover, some
glimpse, though "seen through a glass darby"
of Old Zac's notions of high tarifs. AS Tar as
he goes. the President elect seems 10 stalk
sensen on the subject. Ii he DEVELOPS his SEN
tirnents as herein expressed, and carries them
into practice, he will asionlsh the hIgh-tarlif
men. who rallied around his standard. But 10
the letter which will speak for itself:
Spcaking of saws, reminds me OF a ctreuiar'
which Col. II. ran upon the old General ~ re-
lere nee TO The effects Of the Tariff OF 1916,
whose "suicIdal elects as the Colonel very
elegantly says, were forciby demonstrated b,
the very hourishing condition in which we found
The iron works a, Tennessee. Admit, said The
Colonel, that you pay higher for your iron when
brought here, don't you get more, too, Tor your
raw productions and create . home market iUr
the same"
But, interrupted the General, ''if the iron
manufacturers, through an increased tariff, raise
the rrice # corn, -four and wheat, won't II fall
heavier upon US sugar and cotton planter oil The
Sruth who depend upon the West Tor our sup
plies Of these ar icles2 Again. too, il we keep
our corn, wheat, etc., al home, how can we
ever get foreigners 10 take our cotton, hemp, aud
! tobacco !.
