THE TARIFF.

There is scarcely any doubt but that
the great mass of our people favor a
tariff for revenue and not for protec-
tiOn. Of course some protection would
incidentally arise from tariff for reve-
nue., but this is secondary matter.
On the hypothesis, therefore, that a
tariff is to be the instrumentality to
raise the revenue for the support of the
General Government, we say that we
are in favor of tariff for revenue, ad-
iusted and arranged in its details WITH
VIEW TO EQUALITY in the public bur-
dens, and also to the encouragement of
productive industry in our own eOun-
try as far as practicable without pro-
d1cing monopolies, or giving unjust
advantage to any. The proper adjust,
ment of tariff measure is matter OF
dens are to be avoided; monOpOlies
should neither be created nor favored,
and unjust advantages should not be
given to any in raising the revenues
for the support of the Government.

A New Kind OF statesmanship.

If the poll tax in this State was heavy,
onerous burden, there would be some excuse
for the rhetorical essay the Nclos flourishes
in response to the GAzETTE's pertinent
points on the State assessment laws, II
sounds very pretty stolsay that the right to
vote is higher than any claims upon the pub
lie treasury, but when tits considered that the
full supremacy Of this right would ena6le
hordes of negroes to vote without qualiiica-
tion and thus relieve the Mems friends of
the burden Of paying their taxes, 1t can
readily be seen that 'seTf-interest is para
mount TO sentiment IN this suggestion.
TIE old law was amended because It was
cumbersome aud dangerous. Cumbersome
in that it compelled the Collectors to carry
large numbeisof careless delinquents who
would not ray their taxes or to oppress
them to prosecution in order to enforce pay
ment, ana dangerous for the power II placed
in the hands ofignorant, spiteGul negroes who,
If they were inclined, could harrass the Col
lector with suits in the Federal Courts for
simply eadeav v1ling to perform the duties
the law imposed upon him. The present law
giyes every man the right to vote upon the
