property belonging to Mr.. ]. Mcdaniel, OF Do
yer, situated in the same place, was sold this
afternoon. 1t was divided into two parcels,
viz: The house and two acres of land, which
was purchased by Mr.. Jos. Downham, of tAis
village, for 1926; and about twenty-six or seven
acres of woodland, by Mr.. T. Terry, of the
same place, for $4,000. Times are so tight
in this vicinity, as we'll as all ever the country,
that land will not, nor any other property,

place will be differently situated after the new
purchasers take charge of their property

1t wants good smith and cartwright, mer-
chant, a boot and shoe maker, and several other
mechanics, who could make good living
This place lies about west of Magnolia, distant
one mile. Business at Magnolia would not in
lure Locustvile in the least, because this
neighborhood is very thickly settled; and fol
this reason am sure both places could transact
much greater amount Of business than they
do.

Letter from Magnolia.
MAoNoLIA, Oct. 18th, ]

MAGNOLIA, Oct. lIth, 1897.
Mr.. Editor Our place and vicinity has,
during the past few weeks, had great many
changes made, worthy to mention. The wea-
thcr constantly changing, and as with the
weather even so it is with man. He is ever
changing. His mind is like the waves of the
eeo-t scars high, and then dives Deep How
noble Is strong, steadfast, and perceptiye
mind! We have men quick to perceive, and
unmovable in their perceptions.
One change in our place is a change of mer-
chants. Hr. Wrixham McIlvaine has pur-
chased the new store and dwelling house of his
brother, Thos. Fl. McIlvaine, who has been
merchandising here for the last five or six
years, or perhaps longer. Mr.. Nc. will 60 west
between now and New Years, as have learned.
His departure will be much regretted by our
citizens. Mr.. II. McIlvaine has also sold hi,
property, which consists of new and splendid
dwelling house, and Out-houses to correspond.
Land s high in price, and in this part of the
county is as good as any you will find.
MIR. McIlroy McIlvaiue, of Magnolia, has q
splendid farm, with large and commodious
buildings thereon, which has been offered for
sale. His property IL beautifully situated, and
his land is excellent. Amy person wishing to
buy neat home for life, or a place for specu-
lation, will do well by giving Mr.. Nc. call.
louisville also is having some changes
Mr. Peter Massey has sold very neat house
and some thirty acres of land attached to it,
The property was purchased by a Mr.. Wilson,
OF Pennsylvania, who expects to come down

The Financial Pressure and the Tariff.

The Philadelphia Ledger and Sun are ar
guing the question whether the present tariff
has had anything to do with the disturbance in
the money market. The Ledger contends in
an able argument that it aud the expectation OF
the "precious metal" has not; but charges it
entirely to evertradlng, improper banking and
long credits. The Sun in its argument on the
subject says, the attempt of the Ledger has
been entirely unsuccessful, whilst on the other
hand we aver that to the existing tariff we are
solely indebted, as the primary csuse, for the
present state of affairs.
Our proposition is susceptible of proof by
very simple argument.
After the reduction of the tariff of '42, and
the invasion OF the principle of protection to
our own manufacturs, the country enjoyed
period of prosperity for ten years. This pros
perity and business activity was owing to the
industry, energy and enterprise of our people,
assisted By the abundance of our harvest and
the enormous influx Of gold from California.
The reduced tariff of 46' was powerless to
overcome all these elements of prosperity. 1t
was gradually sapping the foundation of trade,
but these other favorable circumstances by
which we averted the evil which must other
wise have overtaken US. Even with that Tar
| iff, with the meagre protection it afforded, we
contend that if it had been permitted 10 rest
undsturbed at the last session of Congress, no
panic would have yet arisen.
1t was the still further reduction of the tariff
last wlnter--a reduction of 20 per cent on the
former rates-that preci ipitated this crisis upon
US. Every man knows that the warehousing
system is one OF the elements connected " 18th
the revenue laws. That when the duty wa:
taken off last winter, foreign goods were
crowded upon this country until every ware
houses was filled TO overlooking. That upor
the first Of last July-the time the new Law
went into effect-these stores were throw
open, and this immense amount of foreigl
goods forced into the market in competition
with our own; that they withdrew from ou
country an enormous amount of specie, glut
ted our market, paralysed trade, destroyed tn
business of our manufactures, disturbed th
equilibrium of our moneyed institutions an
finally drove our merchants to bankruptcy, on
banks to suspension, and brought about tn
financial difficulties which have invaded ever
city and town in the Union.
> This is the true cause of eur present di'
E tress; it was remote, but certain to produce il
effect,
