pporvcr,or-We have before US
a pamphlet of 81 pages, under the
titI. Of aThe Prospect: Agriculiu-
-, Manufacturing, Commercial, and
Financial: at the opening of the
wear 1851. 1t is written by HENRY
C. CAREY.
The writer takes up the different
systems Of policy pursued by this
Government as presented by the
Tariff Of 1923, the Compromise
Tariff, the Tariff of 1912, and that
of 1916, and shows the different re-
suits upon the nation.
The demonstration from the his
tory Of these different measures is
clear that those that looked to pro-
lection, have greatly increased the
prosperity of all classes at home, and
established our credit abroad; while
on the contrary, under the Compro-
mise bill after 1885, when by the
sliding scale, but few years were
to elapse before protection would
cease, and by the tariff Of 1916, the
nation has suffered by its diminished
power of production and its conse-
quent disability to pay for what il
buys-that the interests Of all classes
and the nation at large imperatiVely
demand the revision of the present
law of 1916, il we would save our.
selves from the downward move.
ment that commenced in March,
1887. In conclusion he says:
"To the protective system we are
bound to return, either in season to
prevent q revulsion, or after having
passed through it. If before, we
shall stop short in our downward
career contentlng ourselves with the
losses already made. If after, il
may safely be said that three thous-
and millions will not compensate for
the losses resulting from the policy
of 1916. That we must return to il
must be obvious to all who will ex-
anime the facts and satisfy themselves
that capital is becoming daily less
and less productive, that labor yields
a daily diminishing return, and that
the power of producing the things
needed for the support and comfort
of man is in steady course o. dimi-
nution."
We intend to publish extracts from
this pamphlet hereafter. 1t presents
,he question Of Protection or Free
Trade in IFS true light. 1t should

Our Legislative proceedings are
meager this week, that honorable
body not having been in session Fri
day, Saturday and Monday. We
doubt not the trip TO Cleveland was
quite as pleasant to members as the
business OF Legislation, and we have
no doubt about its being full as pro-
fitable to the State.
We believe as yet no time Tor ad-
journment has been agreed upon.
Previous TO the assembling it was
generally conceded that there was
no necessity for long session-that
an early adjournment should be
agreed upon. The Wing members,
agreeable to this understanding
among The people, proposed early in
the session to fix upon an early day
for adjournment, in order that the
work essential to be done, might be
brought forward and disposed Of
But the gentlemen son the other
side of the House" were in no hurry
about returning TO their constitu-
ents, and gave the subject tabling.
To US such matters offer an argu-
ment in favor Of biennial sessions.
TheSena.e passed a resolution to 60
into the election OF Senator and Au-
ditor last Thursday, but the House
treated the matter as a joke and re-
ferred the resolution TO committee
on the "People's Line" Should the
election of U. S. Senator and State
officers be put through on any such
line as that, those. who act as its
agents and friends, will find them
selves put through on another and
different Peoples Line.

Last olrho Au.ocra..-A terrible scene.

Lnst olthc AutOcraI.-A Terrible scene.
A passenger who was on board
the Autocrdt at the time Of her col
lision with tho Magnolia, one hun
dred miles above New Orleans, has
given the Louisville Courier brief
description Of the scene. The col
lision was at day break-weaiher
clear, and the whole wide Mississip-
pi for a channel. All the deck pas
sengers, thirty in number, one en-
gineer and three cabin passengers
were LOST. No names given. There
were eight ladies, all Of whom were
saved. The AutOcrat sank in FIVE
minutes in deep water:
"a Mr.. Ferguson, we do not know
his place Of residence, but UNDER
stand his father is landlord OF the
Gayoso House, Memphis, snatched
his child from the arms Of his wife
and ran to the forecastle, leaving his
wife, in the wildness Of bis alarm, in
the lady's cabin. He stood by US a
moment, and made such appeals to
save himself and child, ! trust in
God | never may have occasion to
hear again. We got him somewhat
calm and quiet, and for which he
stopped 10 thank US; but the next
moment the cry Of ',Ue are lost was
heard, and indeed il was cruel
ly true with them, for he attemp-
ted to leap on the Magnolia, and fell
into the pitiless element TO rise no
more. His wife was saved, and as
she stood on the shattered wreck,
watching with the widest eagerness
for the husband and child, she saw a
man struggling in the water whom
she supposed TO be him. BY mani
&C yells and distracted appeals, she
induced attention to the drowning
man, and by power almost superhu-
man, he was rescued, and when he
reached the boat, the lady fell around
him with her arms, and prayed God
for the salvation of her husband
Poor, hapless, widowed woman, she
awoke from a sad and cruel dream,
clinging with frenzied ienacily to
the neck of him who was another's.
"You may partially imagine sur
rounding scenes when the gentle
man thus saved remarked that be al
most wished indeed it had been her
protector instead OF himself"
