"a Tariff for Revenue Only.


Senator Daniel voorhees,, of Indiana,
is a wordy mana very wordy, not to
say, windy, man, and like most wordy
men, he sometimes speaks without
knowledge. For example, in his At
lanta Exposition speech he amazed and
outraged the Democratic portion of his
audience by Illuminating high protective
tariff doctrines, and of cour.e, he has
been taken to task. He replies BY say
ing that the Democratic platforms of
1880, declaring for s'tariff for revenue
only" us "a departure on the subject of
the tariff and had no precedent in the
history Of Democratic platforms. :,
Thereupon, the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal quietly sets dcwn on him by repro
ducing the following plank from the
platform of the National Democratic
Convention of 1876:
eve DEMAND THAT ALL CUSTOM HOUSE
(tarif) TAXATION SHALL BE ONLY FOR
REVENUE"
What makes it worse for the Indiana
expounder is that he was member of
the Convention of 1876, and a member
Of the Committee that reported the
aforesaid resolution.

The Greenville Times mentions tina
since Lynch spoke in Washington
Icounty, there has been a change of tao
tics by the Confusionist speakers. In
speeches made by j F. Harris, Cart
wright, and others during the past week,
| all effort is directed to work upon the
prejudice and ignorance of the coIored
voters. Their speeches it SAYS have
been quite as incendiary as those BY
which The csrpet-baggers kept the ne
groes banded while they we're plumber
ing the county. The tactics spoken Of
by the Times seems to have been adopt
cd ali along the line Of the Confusionists.
In this city and county, the speeches Of
some of them, have been described as
incepdiary in the highest degree. Our
aim has been to conduct the canvass on
a different plan, and to address the rea-
sons, and not the preiudiees and pas
sions Of any class Of people. What these
Confusion leaders expect to gain By sow-
ing the seeds Of strife and reaping bar
vest Of bloodshed IS best known to
themselves. For ourselves, We have
deprecated i, 80 people can prosper 70
a stateof perpetual warfare among them
selves.

THE resolu tions of the Mississippi
River Convention are sensible and
sound to the core. In appealing to the
Federal government for means to i'm
prove the navigation of the Mississippi
river, whose valley, with its numerous
tributaries furnish two-thirds of the
exportable products of the country, the
report of the Committee on Resolutions
cite the fact that the government, for
the purpose of promoting commerce and
enhancing the public welfare, by the
construction of railroads, the property
of individuals and corporations, had
granted them 100000 900 acres of the
public domain, and given 500, 900
out of the treasury. While this has
been done for the construction of Artificial
less than $25,000,00O had
been bestowed on the improvement of
more than Is, 200 miles of natural wa

ton of Hayes, Tyner, assistant Postmas-
ter-General, prepared an elaborate re-
port setting forth the rascalities of the
Star-route thieves Itwas not permitted
to see the light. 1t is now charged that

was erring brother Key. The depth of
the hypocrisy, meanness and corruption
of the aforesaid Administration has
never been sounded and never will. 1t

having charters which exempt the
property Of these wealthy establishments
from taxation" The Republican ought

corporation from taxation, whether just
or unjust, were passed before the Dem

government; and that its own party

On our first page we have published
letter from German immigrant, re-
siding in Carroll county, who has lived
in the State eleven years. 1t contains
some practical suggestions on the sub
ject of immigration. Our readers will
Judge of the merits of these suggestions
for themselves. We have no comment
to make except to dissent from the
proposition that the Legislature should
offer a premium for the best essay upon
the resources, capabilities and advanta-
ges of the soil and climate of the State,
for general distribution. 1t is the duty of
the Commissioner of immigration to
perform that service, and he will do it
well. What is needed will be an appro-
priation for circulating the stats
ties which he will prepare if au-
thorized to do so. Once get an immi-
grafton boom started, by following the
example of other States that have been
