Ii one Of his speeches Mr., Buchanan
says something about slavery being Sec
tional. The Yirginiau Of Monday harps
much about the expression, and seems bor-
ribIy shocked at :he discovery. Mr..
THOMAS STANHOPE FLOuRNOY,
OF Halifax, was a member of Congress in
1913, and delivered speech. In that
speech deliyeredd1mSi 1S4S, and pub
4 Globe 'e , spss the Hon.
Thomas Slanh0pe + tourney says !:
1T is question that can never become
with pr opriety, an issue between the two
great parties of the country as at present
organized. 1T is, IN IT'S VERY Ma
TTURE, SECTIONAL. and, wien parties
divlde upon it. the present party lines viii
be obliterated, and the division will De
Northern and Southern
1t is thus seer, that, If to say slavery is
sectional be abolitionsm. Mr.. Flournoy Is
an aboiiionst. The truth is, that. slavery
is both sectional aud national-see,ional
in the locality 0! IFS existence. and ha,ion-
al, because it is recognized as an element
Of political powef in the constitution, and
protected as such.-Lynch6urg Repubi-

fsuch as will bring the annual expenditures
within the annual income Of Government,
is not Indispensable and that while this
is rendered necessary by the deplorable
state of The public finances, it is rendered
just and not injurious to the public service,
by the great reduction of the currency aud
and consequen. appreciation of the value
of money.
II will be seen that the two leading
points embraced in these resolutions iytre
l-crst such reduction Of the Tariff of
1912 as would "render it strictly and in
good faith mere revenue measure and,
secondly, "a rigid system Of retrenchment,
economy and accountability They were
introduced to test the sense of Congress
upon the subject of reform, preparatory to
specific measures. Mr.. McDuflie in advo-
eating them, condemned in unmeasured
terms the Tariff of 1912, and said:
Gentlemen, to relieve .he countrJ
must retrace their steps, and remove from
commerce the shackles they had SO un-
wisely and impfoyidrnfly imposed upon
IT; they must revise lheir tariff law, and
briug down duties to a revenue standard;
they must abandon their narrow-sighted
policy of protecting special interests. at the
expense of other interests of inrale Unable
Importance and they must economist and
re.rench the expenditures of the Govern>
ment.' sac a
Suci, were the Issues plainly presented
In the resolutions. What was Mr.. Bucli-
anan's course Mr.. hlcIrick moved to lay
them on the table and upon this test qnes
ton, Mr. Buchanan voted nag with Mr..
MeDuf1ie, Mr.. Calhoun, and others. Is
this not enough TO demonstrate that he is
not an advocate Of high Tariff, but al
advocate OF low revenue Tariff. aud OF
economy in every department Of the Gov
eminent? ~
The question of Tariff reform was next
Ibrous bit tefward IN 1916, and Mr.. Buchanan
was then a menbtr of Nj. Folks Cabinet.
The Tariff of 1916 approached nearer TO
the revenue basis than any Tariff ever be-
fore passed, although it was very fer from
being "sirictly and III good faith mere
revenue measure such as Mr.. MeDufhe's
resolutions contem plated. and for With
Nh. Buchanan voted in 1S43. |, is well
