The Tariff.

From the Moberly Monitor.
The Mexico LEDGER is publishing a
series of articles showing up the falla-
cies of the ~so-called protective tariff.
There seems to be growing interest in
the subject, which the people have
too long neglected. The friends of a
''tariff for revenue only" ask only a
free and fair discussion of the ques-
ton. The sooner it is brought before
the minds of the people the quicker it
will be decided. This the protection
lists wish to avoid. They desire to
keep people blind to the fact that our
present tariff system benfits the very
few at the eXpense of the many.

LADDoNIA, September 6.-Business

"Cedarcroh."
A visi, 70 the Home of the Late I

A Visit to the Home of the Late Bsyard Taylor.
In passing from Oxford to West Chest
or l made a detour from the main road
and visited Cedarcroft, the home of the
late Bayard Taylor. The place is in
negro couple, who were busily engaged
in putting the house and grounds in Or
der in anticipation of the arrival Of Mrs.
Taylor and her daughter.
A farmer whose lands adjoin Cedar
croft, said that Mrs. Taylor and her
daughter were very kind and polite to
those who made pilgrimages to Cedar
croft. "They are a good bit like Bay
ard, he said. s'He was kindness and
courtesy personified, and a master hand
to entertain by his talk and stories.-
Some folks thought a good deal of his
lectures, but in comparison with his con-
versation, they were constrained and
unentertaining. Lying under the cedars
he would smoke his long-stemmed pipe
and talk about his travels, about books
and everything under the sun, in o vein
that was charming beyond my poor
powers to express. He has often kept
me by the hour; and though I am more
than ordinarily fond of music, I have
never heard a song in my life which
was sweeter to listen to than the care
less, ~half-earnest, half-jocular disserta-
tons in which Bayard was wont to in
dulge, as he pulled away at his pipe and
sent the smoke wreaths upward"
Another neighbor said. Il used to go
to school with Bayard. He vas always
q fine fellow-chock full of spirit and
snap. He was never so happy, boy or
man, as when he was doing some of us
a favor. Yes" he added, reflectively,
'Bay was agood.neighbor; he did a heap
for the town, and when he died in Ber-
lin, Kennett lost a friend"
your people about here" I VEN
tured, "came to think, after a while,
that he was considerable of q man, !
SUPPOSED"
"Oh, yes. Long at first, when he
was learning printin', and got to writ
ing poetry and wantin' to GO to Europe,
folks thought he was kinder odd like,
but we got used to all that, and some OF
US usedto read his books. He was a good
neighbor, and most of US around here
cried when he died"
1t was gratifying to know that Ken
nett was disposed to forgive the literary
transgressions. Ipassed on smiling,
and contrasted the different views Of
Taylor's whilom schoolmate and Thorn
as Bailey Aldrich. Amid the signing
of the cedars the ~latter's beautiful trib-
ute to Bayard Taylor came back to me,
and with a full heart l murmured the
closing lines, and felt that they were
true:
And when the umrner winds sweep over Ce
darcroft,
He'll come again. 1 can not make him dead.
Cedarcroft is advertised for sale. Il
is picturesquely situated. and the house
