Lans. PIaving Perhaps.

Perhaps the tariff needs reforming.
Perhaps it dosen't. IL it does now Is
not the time to do it, because they can
not.-Pulaski CITIZEN.
There is wherein you differ from
Mr.. Randall. Within two weeks
past he emphatically declared that
in many points the tariff was bung-
lingly and oppressively imposed,
and that he favored such revision at
the incoming session of congress as
would relieve the people of its bur tn
ems. Even the New York Shipping
and Commercial List, protection
paper, agrees with Cox, Randall and
Carlisle on this subject World.
We are not gauging our opinions
by what Mr.. Randall thinks, and
neither do we belong in the same
pigeon hole with these protection
papers, and neither does this quota
ton from the middle part of CITI-
ZEN editorial do us justice in its de
tached meaning, and neither do we
care if it dosen t. Carlisle is now
elected, but if the American is cor
rect, it was with the assurance that
there should be no tariff meddlins
at this session. That is all we want
and we want that "only'' because
we are afraid that to do otherwise
would defeat US. Let's move into
the house before we commence ar
ranging the furniture. "Only" thii
and nothing more. And we cal

We are very much grieyed to

DR.. HARDWOOD, and Mr.. Bob An
derson, sr., have been appointed to
receive any donations that may be
made for the purpose OF erecting
monument over the graves of the
confederate dead of Giles county.
We think this ought to be pushed
forward until it is accomplished, for
this is the last tribute of respect
that we can ever pay their memory.
In ancient times when a soldier fell
in the defense of his country mon
ument was Immediately erected
over his grave. Hence we think it
is as important now-aday.
Mr.. W. II. Barlar and wife have
returned from their visit to Law

PROBABILITY is that he will locate
somewhere in Lawrence next year.

Presidents Message.

The presidents message was
read Tuesday. he says the reve-
nues have been cut down fifty mil
lion but there is still enough sur
plus to retire the debt further than
necessary. He recommends coast
defenees. He favors the abolishing
of all excise tag except on spirits.
The national bank circulation is
about $3.50, 100000, and about $500,
100000 of this is based upon per
cent. bonds which are redeemable
at option and may be retired so fast
as to deprive the banks of their Sc
curity and force them to contract
their circulation. He recommends
that a special low rate bond be Gre
ated for their use, or TO repeal the
tax on circulation and permit them
issue 80 per cent. in circulation of
the value of their deposited bonds.
He recommends that the trade dol
lar be redeemed at small advance
on the silver bullion. He favors
putting our coast defences in con
dition resist modern guns and
the rebuilding of the navy. He
does not favor the recommendation
of the postmaster general To-. the
establishing OF government control
over the telegraph system but ia
vors some plan that will simplify
interstate communication at lower
rates. He favors government aid
to primary education. He recon-
mends that congress take some ac-
ton looking to the modification of
railroad rates and expressions.
He is convinced thas polygamy has
become SO strongly entrenched in
Utah that is is protitless to attack it
with any but the strongest weapons
that legislation can furnish, and he
favors the repeal of the act upon
which the existing government de- !
Ponds and the assumption by con-
yress of entire political control of
he territory under a commission. |
de thinks the recent civil service

say that democracy has at last as
sumed definite shape and policy
a free trade platform with solid
south backing. 1t is precisely where
they want us. The American finds
solace in the hope that the tariff
discussion may be so overwhelming
as to relegaie the bloody shirt to
the wash-tub. We must hope and
fight for the best. If the Carlisle
rule IS characterized by moderation
it may dispel the clouds of danger
and at least keep the doubtful states
doubtful until election time.

Debt less cash on hand s. sos, 7S5, 06O.
These are staggering figures, and
yet they are melting away like
snow in the sun. Since June 80
last the debt has been reduced
$41, 36I, AGO.
This short statement of facts is
necessary to have in mind, as out
of them grew Mr.. Blaine's scheme,
which is that the tax on spirits be
maintained and distributed to the
states according to population.
When it is remembered that this
tax is now, we believe, about $780,
100000, and would go to a hun
dred if the system were adopted,
the reader may see that it totally
wipes away the necessity for state
taxes. The strength of the propo-
sition lies in the fact that it lifts
the burden off Of lands and proper
ty and places it on a luxury, and
thus while it fosters industry and
builds up solid interests, it lays the
whole burden on mems appetites.
This is an improvement so palpa-
bic that it needs no argument to
convince men of its utility. There
are serious and strong objections
made to it, some of which are
weighty, and we have heard of very
few prominent men WHO favor it.
We lake it that the proposition is
so plainly available and proper that
some of these men are staggered
because they didn't think of it
first. Gen. Logan did at the last
session introduce bill embodying
almost this identical proposition,
but the country heard nothing of it,
so that this is now new to the peo-
pie. Gen. Butler erects a constitu-
tional barrier. We will not go into
that deep water now. 1t is objec-
ted that sit is not just to levy a
tax on Kentucky whisky to pay
Vcrmont's debts" There is abso-
lutely nothing in this objection.
Kentucky may make the whisky
and pay the tax on it, but she
charges it up on the price and the
consumer pays it at last.
The proposition has met with
such little favor that re hardly ex-
pect anything to come OF il, and
yet we confess that it appeared
to US as the cloud appears to the
traveller in the desert, 1t looked
like a refreshing shower was com
ing. But we made some reserva-
tions until we could hear informed
men speak. 1t is q gigantic scheme,
fit to leap from the brain Of such a
Jove. We have. long held TO the
opinion that Blaine combined all
the elements Of American states
manship in his make up. His ca
rec. ~ Gartield's premier ranks
with the tar-GsacbiBg profundity of
a Disraeli or a Gladstone or Fox,
and has never had coun erpaft in
history except the person
of Mr.. Clay. He ranks Monroe him
self Wdo originated the policy that
Blaine reanim&tsd and amplitied in
his short career. His political
character is smirched with parti
sanship that impels him to many
things we could never endorse and
for which We could never support
him until he recaBts, but this does
not detract from the merits OF the
single proposition he now enunci-
ates.
