It 10 well for the friends of differ.
emit gentlemen in the State and I'm
ion TO advocate their nomination for
Office, but there is one point that
should always be borne in mind
Parties are organized to advance
principles not men. Men are mere
instruments to be utilized in the pro-
motion Of the principles of the or
ganization. Men die but principles
live, and parties exist to put those
principles in operation. The living
principles Of q party, if founded on
eternal justice, cannot pass away
Men, therefore, are but of little con-
sequence. Parties are not formed to
elevate them into consequence. But
in choosing the instruments by
which the party is to operate, selec.
.tions Of the most fit, most competent
and most faithful are necessary to be
made. Men are to be used BY parties,
net parties By men.

From official sources we gather
the following instructive items:
Austria levies a tax OF 81 for each
man, woman and child in the king
dom. Hungary levies $3.50 per per
SON. Prussia $40 per person. France
$15 per head. Russia pays much
less but that is because of the ina
bility to pay. The money is not to
be had. Every Russian pays 81, and
every Frenchman pays SIS, and still
the former is worse off than any other
country, socially, politically and
pecuniarily. So it is not the heaviest
taxed people always who are really
the greatest burdened. A people
who enjoy liberty of conscience and
of action, and who are not ground
down by unjust and unwise laws,
may be happier and more contented
under heavy taxation than the peo-
pie of another country who pay
lighter taxes and have fewer priv.
leges.

Cotton seed oil factories are being

flourished TO a considerable extent.

Att recent meeting of the Granite.
vile Cotton Manufacturing Compa-
ny, at Augusta, Ca, anannual report
was exhibited which showed the net
earnings for the year ending March
31st, 1882, to be s179,33S or nearly
thirty per cent. on the capital invest
ed, and this was exclusive of the
erection of thirteen dwellings and
some costly improvements. If this
showing has the effect of causing
some of the Louisiana capitalists to
put on their thinking caps, then it
is not published in vain.

lis not necessary that even free
trader should make war on manu-
featuring enterprises. And just now,
while there are many free traders in
theory, there are no public men who
advocate free trade entirely. 1t is
impossible for MS to have free trade
and maintain our government. The
expenses of the government have to
be met, and to do this the imposition
Of some tariff duty on some foreign
articles is indispensably necessary.
The policy Of the Democratic party
tends to free trade, but we wage no
warfare on home manufactures, and
as we recognize that some tariff tax
must be collected, we are quite will
ing to readjust the tariff in the in
terest of American industries. We
are not willing, as matter Of prin.
ciple, 70 say that the tariff shall be
put SO high on any particular article
as to forbid all importation of it and
force our people to pay a bonus to
the Northern manufacturer, but we
favor making a reasonable tariff and
giving our home manufacturers the
benefit of what incidental protection
may be thus afforded. The farmer
gets no protection. The surplus of
what we make is exported, and we
make surplus of provisions. Our
cotton crop gets no protection, but
the planter and farmer have to pay
q bonus to the manufacturer of agri
cultural implements; they also have
to pay a bonus to the manufacturers
of all the steel and iron they use.-
Il is admitted on all sides that the
tariff ought to be revised, that it is
unequal and unjust. The Democrats
as party favor making an imme-
diate revision; the Republican repre-
sentatives as q parry say they have
not the information or the good
sound Judgment to know how to re.
wise it and make it just and equal.
They favor committing that matter
10 o commission and thus to post,
pone action for an indefinite period.
The Democrats say they do not wish
to discriminate against American
manufactures, but that now is the
proper time to reduce the burden.

ufaeturing interests will continue to
flourish just as they are doing now.
We are not arrayed against any
class. We want all to flourish, but
we wish to reduce taxation and re-
heye the burdens of the farming and
non-manufacturiug people. If we
were obliged to choose between the
two we would chose to benefit our
own folks rather than the Canadians
who come over into New England to
labor in her factories and then when
occasion suits return to their Cana
dian homes. But we do not under
stand that such q necessity exists
We can do what is fair all around BY
rearranging the tariff on a just basis.

Hope and Fear.


do with the happiness or misery of
humanity. Hope is the expectation
of something better in the future than
we now possess. 1t belongs to the
future, and it anticipates the realiza-
ton of something for our good which
lies before rs in the journey of life.
1t is hope that makes existence en-
durable, life pleasure. We may
fret and foam these weary days and
move about as though we cared but
little whether we really existed or
not, but as Indifferent as we may APP
pear, there fingers a hope, that in
spires little longer lease of life, a
little more of its joys and sorrows.
In this life, fear and hope are min
gled together. Our little tempest
tossed barque on life's tempestuous
ocean is often submerged amid the
angry waves, and hope leaves us in
darkness and gloom, but ere long it
rises up before us again, and like a
beam of light in the darkness of
night guides us safely into the har-
Dor of repose. Hope is an anchor to
the soul of the skeptic as well as to
the christian. One has hopes which
belong only to this mundane sphere,
and the other looks and hopes not
only for earthly but heavenly things.
Hope and fear are no respecter of
persons. It matters little whether
person is believer in the Bible OF
the Darwinian theory of creation, or
possesses religion, or no religion, he
has his fears and his hopes. Expe,
rience teaches us that the more hope
full we are concerning the future,
the greater is our happiness and the
less our fears. In scripture parlance:
" Hope, perfect hope casteth out all
fear" and leaves not a wave of
trouble to cross our peaceful breast.
It is the hope of reward thatsweetens
labor, and lightens its burdens. The
farmer sows because he is hopeful he
will reach crop in due season, and
the daily laborer bears the hot and
cold weather, because of the reward
which awaits him when the weary
work is done. Thus it is that hope
and fear have much to do with our
lives. The first maketh glad the
heart of mankind, but the second
drieth up the fountain of life, and
freezeth the marrow in his bones
Choose ye which ye will cultivate.

there will be at least 1,690O00,000 bushels, OF
an average yield of % bushels to the acre
against 2S in 1879 and Is in 1881. OF this tota
the States north of Tennessee and west of Vir
ginia and Pennsylvania produced $50 100000
the Southern States, $40, 100000; the Middle
States, 100000, and New England over
100000. The total product will be more than
400000,000 greater than last year.
The rice crop in Louisiana this year promise:
to be big thing, in fact the biggest thing in
that line ever known in the State. A prOmi,
nent rice miller in New Orleans states that he
is convinced that there will be ten per cent
more rice than last year, when the yield was
100000 barrels of rough rice, 49, 700 of clean.
If the weather proves favorable, 100000 barrels
of clean rice are confidently predicted. 1t
appears that the brewers and glucose factories
of New Orleans are making considerable use of
rice.
Indiana has this year q crop of 46,92S, CAB
bushels wheat 115, 500, 797 bushels corn, 49,
6l9,516 bushels oats, 1886, 4S6 pounds tobacco,
2O,1SO,6S3 bushels apples, and 7,26i,S30 bushels
potatoes. The States leading crops are esti-
mated to be worth over $150,0OO,OOO.
More than one-half of all the barley produced
in the United States is raised in New York,
California, and Wisconsin. The average yield
is 235 bushels per acre, and the total product
will reach 45, OOO,0 900 bushels.
