tuahk You Tor your letter Of Dec Is. was
not aware that there were parties at worL

STHIsia on the arif question. have done
hOtHlog whatever to encourage anv such
course, ana do not think the party ought 10
s.INlue on the issue. There are Shades Of dir
IcionCe OF opinion among Democrats on this
liberation towards each other. and not sunder
party ties and become personal anta0onists
.,osau . uSe we 90 not fully agree. There has
never oeen a tarln bill passed upOn a strictly
party line, so far as | can gather drrin5
sne Whole history of the government There
nave Deen some Federalists that voted ono
w. Wy ,'ll. anu some the other, some Republicans
one way and sonas tho other, some " higs one
way ana some the other. and so on In other
WORDS the parties have ALWAYS been divided
on tarin bills. NOn are perfectly right how

i,s Ia II Exactly my position. am in favor of
aVoiisHlHS the internal revenue system in

pie nuisance TO our people. / am for collect

ing the amount necessary for the bort of
the government, believe we shout 6crimi-
.aIe .s IN IaEoT oil American manuf% es and
American labor. as against foreign Eufac-
lures and foreign labor. 1 have ! entIv
used TINS illustration: Suppose M rt of
tne TAX ON sugar and coffee TO be 4 kear
Now so FAR as the amount is cOneet ID is
lmmaterlal 10 me whether / pay on
euSaT or all on conee, or s. on each. as
we 10 not raise a pound of coffee ms
country, ana as we have an importanto
interest, prefer to pay the whole $40 on
ana protect that interest to the extent of
ana get my coffee free. l pay the s.
amount OF money in either case. If pay,
on coffee protect no American industry: "
pay II all on sugar, give $40 protection 20
American industry. However, YOU have
letter from me, Judge, on this subject sonfS
time since that gave you my views correctly
ana nave no reason to change them. | have
made two or three speeches on this question
that have been published and sent an over
Georgia. My own mind has undergone no
change whatever since their delivery and
puDucatlOn, so that the people of Georgia can
nave no misunderstanding of my position.
Now L know there is class of Democrats
IN the case l supposed who would prefer the
ten dollars all on coffee, and no part of 1t on
sugar, because IN that case they will protect
no American industry. l prefer to discrimi-
nate in favor of American industry; they pre-
Ter 10 discriminate against 1t. Now YOU Will
ind large wing of the Democracy Of GeOr-
gla who favor my view of it, and another
wing that would take the other view of it. but
why II necessary that we should draw party
line and make divisions out of the differences of
this character? 1t seems to me it would be
very unwIse to do so. 1 want to protect as
far as / can on the rule laid down. the capital
invested IN manufactures, and / eSpecially
desire TO protect. as far as | can under The
rule, American labor and the class of men
who do the labor, who are properly charac-
terlzed by yOu as Wealth-prOducers. | thank
you for calling my attention to this matter
/ know there is no reason for misunderstand-
ings between US. With kindest regards to
your good wife, am, very truly, your friend
