NO FREE rRADE P.4RrK.

The Memphis AUdlanche, paper that
should be good authority on questions
/ Of democratic pOlity, says that the
tariff for revenue only" plank in its
party's platform means q tariff that will
! raise enough revenue to support the
government, pay the national and all
the State debts, and provide for free
/ schools for the illiterate masses north
and south, and at the same time "pro-
tect" all American industries and grant
subsidies TO all American manufacture
ers. If the AUGldRehe will kindly ex-
plain the difference between its ideal
democratic tariff and the new one in
existence we shall be greatly obliged to
/ it. One is apt to imagine, from read
! ing such explanations of the democrat
ic position towards the revenue ques
tions, that the only kind of tariff the
opposition want is one that will divide
the surplus of spoils resulting from the
unnecessary taxation about equally
among the democratic States.-DaCen-

There is no free trade party in
this country. There are a few
cranky newspapers and politicians
who spout free trade sentiments but
when it comes to practical legisla-
ton nine -tenths of the people in
America are pYotectionists. The
only difference between the two or
ganized political parties on this sub
ject is one of amount of protection
to be afforded by law to American
industries. And this difference is
not so great between the parties as
it is between States and sections.
There are vast numbers of Demo
Gratis who are nominally "free ira
ders' but are really protectionists.
For instance the Louisiana Demo
Gratis want sugar protection. The
Texas Democrats demand protec-
ton for wool. The free trader Gar
land and the Arkansas Democrats
demand 20 cents a gallon protection
for cottonseed OIL. The South Caro-
lima Democrats say their rice fields
must be protected by the tariff. The
Pennsylvania Democrats want coal
and iron protected, and so on. A
good many Republicans think the
present tariff is none too high for
the adequate protection OF our in
dustries against foreign competition.
Other Republicans think it too high.
There is like difference of opinion
among Democrats, And Congress-
men are now wrangling over the
question of amount of protection.
They are not concerned about free
trade. In fact free trade is obsolete.
A free trade Congress would be an
anomaly and it is safe to say that it
is an impossibility. Were it posi-
bic and free trade established as the
Gazette understands free trade there
would follow such industrial and
commercial disaster as has never
yet been known in this or any other
country.

The bill introduced, SAYS the
World, at the present session of tho
Legislature in regard to the estab-
lishment Of an insane asylum in
East Tennessee, and appropriating
$4,000 for that purpose, contains
within itself the strongest reasons
for its passage. The crowded con-
dition of the asylum near Nashville,
its distance from certain portions of
the State sparsely provided with
railroad facilities. the high and
healthy location presented, and the
availability Of the site, all present
strong arguments for its passage.
The disposition of the Legislature
has always been 10 be literally in
clined upon matters such as this,
appealing strongly to the heart and
conscience, and il is fair TO presume
that SO laudable an object will meet
the appreciation of the present body.
The bin is warmly advocated, but
by no means as a sectioBally local
affair, strictly speaking, inasmuch
rs the establishment and practical
working of the asylum viii have It's
effect over the whole State. The
large number Of patients coming
from East Tennessee will not be in
the way and to the exclusion of pa
tients from other portions of the
State, and the general condition and
cOnvenicnccs Of the Nashville asy-
Ium viii be vastly improved by that
fact IL is a matter which the Leg
islature will no doubt fully examine
and will act upon it so that the
greatest good may result from their
ASTON.

A STORY ABOUT TOOMBS.
HOW HE DIsINHERITED HIS FAVORITE
GRANDDAUGHTER

General Robert Toombs is blind
in one eve and the other is almost
out. He submitted to an operation
for cataract in Atlanta last week
which starts this story about his
mercenary pride ahoat in the papers:
Il have no answer to make" was
the sententious reply of Gen. Rob-
ert Toombs to a messenger who
handed him a note from his grand
daughter, Mrs. Galley, who asked
the privilege of visiting her grand
mother, Mrs. TOombs, who is paral-
yzed and likely to die at any mo-
ment. Mrs. Galley, nee Miss Cam
lille Dubose, was the Generals fav-
Orite grand child. hr. Galley was
raised in the same neighborhood in
Wilkes county. Between him and
Miss Camille love developed ending
in an engagement Galley was poor,
and this was a mortal sin in Toombs'
estimation, and be forbade commu-
nication between them. He read
his will to Miss Camille, in which
she was remembered to the extent
of SEQ, 900. 81 will make it $780,
900 if you viii break off this en-
gagement," said Gen. Toombs. The
lady offered to remain single dur
ing her grandfather's life time.
Growing violent, he declared that if
she insisted on throwing herself
away on poor man he would give
her forty-eight hours in which to
leave his house. This brought mat
ters to a crisis, which Mr. Cally and
Miss DubOse settled by getting mar
ried Immediately. Gen. Toombs at
once disinherited her, and refuses
all communication. The young
couple are applauded by the COM
munity.
