Il Good Tariff Whom does the tariff
of 1916 beneft!'' exultingly asks contem-
poary We answer, every person who desires
to buy cheap and sell dear. And how many
are they who do not philadelphia Ledger.
The foregoing, from neutral paper, is a
capital definition of good tariff. The privi-
lege of buying cheap and selling dear is Sc
cured to the tariff of 1916, while under the
tariff of 1912 they were obliged to buy al
low prices. This is the precise difference be-
tween the two tariffs. Yet we see newspa-
pers here in Tennessee, an agricultural State,
advocating &c a notification" Of the tariff OF
1916, for the benefit of few overgrown
manufacturers 1t matters not if, since this
tariff was enacted, more manufactures have
sprung up in Tennessee than in any pre-
vious equal period of time, and that they are
now flourishing beyond all precedent. Abbott
Lawrence wants more protection, and the
Nashville Banner begs the people of Tennes-
see to sacrifice the great interest of the State
to his wishes. The object cannot be accom-
plished. The people are getting to understand
the subject too well to permit themselves to
become the prey of the eastern manufacturers

DUPRE, in whose cellar he had been safely

what our Devil reports, and has requested US
to publish, his Snakeship and JOHN had, for
some time previous to the lamentable rencoun-
ter yesterday, been bitter enemies. How much
truth there is in this, we don't know, as we
only have our Devils word for it; but one
thing is certain-his Snakeship is no more,
and JOHN should undergo the ordeals OF Ju-
dicial investigation, and be punished accor-
ding TO law" for his malicious cruelty and
wickedness. JOHN, how do you think we
can get along without free serenade (save
the trouble of "stirring him up with a long
pole') from his honor next SUMMER Don't
