kKLLEx d CO.'S PROTECTION DOSE

1t is evident that free trade principles
never had such sound supporters and pro-
mulgators as the Congressional Committee
of Ways and Means. The milk-and- W atery
changes Ia the srale Of duties proposed by
the Tariff Commission might possibly have
been submitted 10, with some notifications,
but now the Ways and Means gentlemen are
infusiug their protecting ipecae and aloes
into the mixture, 1t has become TOO strong
for retention upon the American stomach.
Forrest. the actor, had a great name for
"piling on the agony" but Pig-Iron Kelley
out-piles him. He would have made a splen-
did inquisitor. Aided by his fsmiliars Of
the committee, he takes the protection rack,
as Inflicted by the commission, and gives
another turn, or two, or three, as the
fit takes him, and spite OF the
agoniss, and cries, aud groaus, and
prayers of his victims, gives still another
turn TO the protectiouist thumbscrews, then
goes on his way rejoicing, and enjoys his
dinner as all good inquisitors ought 10 do.
1t may be very pleasant exercise for the
right reverend father in the proiectionist
faith, but if Congress attempt to administer
the dose the committee are 40 industrieusly
ii will have an account TO settle
with the people more nsuseating than the
ipecac and more bitter than the aloes.

YHE APPEAL FOR 1883.

The APPEAL has just entered upon the
forty-third year of It's existence. During the
year 1888 it will maintain all iss honorable
traditions by the adoption of every improve
ment which progress can invent or suggest.
1t will be the constant aim of the manage-
ment TO make it a complete newspaper and
the reliable exponent of . liberal public
opinion. With this object in view, it will
print all the news of the day, promptly and
as fully as its large and increasing facilities
will permit. While keeping our readers
intelligent upon all the political questions
of the time, we shall continue to devote q
large share OF our space to agricultural,
educational, religious, scientific, literary, in
dustrial and commercial matters. Political
parties are likely to be recognized upon new
issues as national politics are assuming new
phases. This will give additional interest to
all well-conducted newspapers until the next
Presidential election. Every good citizen
should keep himself abreast of the current
politics OF the day; for that reason the price
of the APPEAL is placed within the reach of
even the poorest. The history of the Ar
PEAL for the past forty-two years has been
the history of Southern thought, Southern
politics, Southern industry, and its future
will be the same.
