OLD TRIMS DISSERTATIONS.
DoNGoLA. Sent. d. is

If England-as history proves has h ad
seven hundred years Of the most stringent
protective tariff the world ever saw and
has had but thirty.four years OF free trade
is it not preposterous for Mr. Hurd and
others to assert that this thirty-four years
of rela tive free trade has given her the
position of manufacture for tie worldl
Much is now being said and written 10
favor of Free Trade nine.tenths of
which is the thinest kind Of tom Fooery."
We are living in an age in which men jump
at and hitch on 10 the widest conclusion
without ever taking thought about what
will be the results But we are not going
to write an article on the tariff, We hope
the commission will arrange the matter so
as to give us plenty OF revenue. In Union
county we are warming up politically, and
those who are candidates are looking up
their strength and getting their special
friends to buckle on their armor and pitch
into fight with swim" One Bright
Alex" of the pill-bag persuasion, who is
mighty champion for the ring, takes the
ground that no man who is in debt should
be promoted to Office. The writer don't
know whether this champion Of the ring
candidate had loaned to Elijah or not.
Be that as it may, this champion seems to
be very fearful of men who are in debt or
occasionally take glass Of beer yet there
is not man in town that guzzles more
forty rod" whisky than he, and, as for his
beng out Of debt, there is a mighty good
reason; but we leave the reader to guess
that, for it is generally best to not hint
things too close. This champions side OF
the fight will come up hors de combat in
the end.
Now it comes to pass that we have an
other man before us, asking Us to support
him for the Office Of county Judge. Let
me see One, two, three four, five, six,
yes six is the number, and, OF course, the
one who owes no man will be Championed
by the Bright Alex the man Of the pill
bag persuasion, We expect when we
write again to be able to report another
one IN the race. We once, upon time,
told Old Mi that Squire Jesse
was going to sue HIM tor settlement
The old gentleman replied: "Tush! there
has been no prism served on me. / and
Squire Jesse used to be at a very good
recompeusiblearty, but now there is smart
Of II discmb4rgue" A political party in
Union county that was once at a good "re-
compensIbearity' have up a "nawful"
"disembargue," but then it is a curious
wind that blows good to no one. For
few months our shops where men and boys
90 to enjoy their personal rights and our
candidates to buy votes will enjoy pros
perity heretofore unprecedented. Think Of
six candidates running for the same office,
bearing in mind that whisky puts too
many votes in the box aud you will under
stand what we mean by "shops where men
and boys 90 to enjoy their personal rights"
The time for putting in the wheat crop
is here, and our hardy sons Of the soil are
improving the time. All the farmers will
SOW largely, and when they got their re
turns in the "white whelps"-"Jollars of
our daddies"--do you think they will put
them in the bankl No, they will take
them to Eddleman Bros store, buy their
sugar and coffee and yellow molasses quit
the foolish practice OF sclling'all the eggs
and butter; to buy these things, learn to
eat them and steer clear Of banks. Then
living will be good, and faces now as long
as threshng machine will soon shorten
up. Try it ye bank depositos.
