The Tariff

In order to explain the true dem
ocratic position on the tariff we
clearly and unequivocally can do
nothing better than to copy and en-
dorse the following from an emf
nent democratic source, The Amer
ican Register:
The main object of the tariff Of
the republican party is protection
making revenue to support the
government a merely Incidental OF
subordinate matter, hence the col
lection from the people Of hundreds
of millions of dollars more than is
needed for the expenditures Of the
government. On the other hand
the object of the democratic tariff
is revenue to support the govern
ment, and the protection it affords
is simply incidental to the raising
of the revenue. The one is a tarif
for protection, the other is a tarif
for revenue. The former make:
revenue to support the governmen
simply incidental to protection
where the latter makes revenue its
object and protection where needed
and proper a mere incident. Thi
is precisely the difference between
the two parties on this subject.
The amount of the expenditure
of the government being large, al
the protection needed can be al
forded by protection simply Incl
dental to revenue.
The constitution gives no power
to congress to levy a tariff for pro
lection as its object. But the con
stitution does give power to rails
revenue to support the government
And as congress has to select tn
articles, on which the import is laid
and is bound in the exercise of tn
powers granted to promote tn
general welfare it is most elearl.

the articles for the tariff, to dis

Partisan Bigotry and the Party
Lash.

We boast greatly of our free
country, that in this land Of free
dom every man is entitled to have
his own religion and his own poll
tics. This is all untrue. We are
the worst party ridden people on
earth. And we are not sure but
that we are considerably priest-rid-
den. We have not as much reigi-
GUS freedom as some might sup
pose. Just let one go a little
against the dominant religion of
the neighborhood and he may find
out to the contrary.
But it is in the political. world
that intolerance is most manifest
1t is supposed that one has a right
to have and to express his political
convictions. He may if he will
keep them to himself and not
speak out. If he does he is at
tackled and maligned with every op-
probious term. Here in Tennessee
such men as Geo. w. Jones, of Fay
ettville, Casey Young of Memphis,
Caldwell of Nashville and Gen.
Dibbrell, are read out Of the demo
cratic party for expressing their
opinion against the free trade luna
cy, although they are merely follow
ing practice and the teachings of
jefferson and jackson and every
democratic statesman of any impor
tance within half century. These
fledgelings who seek to rule the
democratic party are bullying or
slandering every democrat who will
not be driven into their insane free
trade theories which are destruc-
tive of American industry and
progress. Watterson of the Cou-
rier-Journal, who hangs about
Washington, writing threatening
letters to his paper on the Morri-
son tariff bill, is chief marplot in
the mischief. He calls for caucus,
and denources all those who will
not submit to its DEGREES as "reb-
els''-that there is a 'poker in the
fire for them" He utterly ignores
their right to think and act for
themselves, and that they did not
take an oath when sworn in to obey
a caucus, but the constitution. In
a letter this week he threatens:
"The sooner its democratic enc
mics go over to the republican par
ty, with Mr.. Randall at their head,
the better for the democratic party.
The caucus should be, l doubt not
will, called without delay. The
bullying game played by a handful
of protectionists, who, led by Mr..
Randall, are in correspondence and
conspiracy with the republicans
should be brought to round turn.
The time for .deliberation has
passed. The time for action has ar
rived. The question now is, shall
the democratic party rule through
its representatives are shall it be
turned over to a wretched clique
of traitors who are playing directly
into the hands of the enemy?"
If this isn't cheek we have never
seen it. Randall has more brains
and more democracy in his little
finger than there is in tho whole
body of the insolent chief of the
Courier-Journal. The democratic
&c party has gone through many
tribulations and still held up its
head, but it is getting pretty low
down, when such a "beggar or
horseback" can assail his betters.

A Belled Buzzard.

The belled buZzard, whose flight
over the western counties of Geor-
ola has aroused so much supersti-
tious fear among ignorant whites
and blacks, passed over q field the
other day, where three men were
plowing. One of them, a negro,
quit work at once, and said the
bird was warning the people of an
other cyclone, in which hundreds of
people would be killed. The story
of this celebrated bird is an inter
esting one. Nearly two years ago
it was o pet in the fanny yard of a
farmer named Freeman in Paudling
county. One of his children one
day attached a sheep-bell to the
birds foot, and the tinkllng sound
of the bell scared it so that it i'm
mediately flew away. The first
night out it alighted on the roof of
negro cabin in Heard county.
One of the inmates went out to as
certain the cause OF the bell-ringing,
and Immediately the buzzard rose
from its perch and flew away.
The night was clear and cold, and
as the inmates rushed out and be
held the great black object and
heard the tinkling of the bell hun
dreds of feet in the fair, great fear
seized them and they all took to
their knees under the impression

The southern cotton-goods man
ufacturers are coming to the front
in a way that makes it very unpleas-
ant for New England factories. In
the Fall River, Mass, mills thirty
thousand operatives quit work re-
Gently because of a reduction of
wages, which averaged less than $8
per week, and further cut of ten
per cent. was ordered. Mills at va
rious points in Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Maine, ETC., will curtail
production on account of low prices,
These mills run 100000 spindles
and will discharge thousands of OPP
eratives. The trouble appears to be
that southern manufacturers can
produce equally good goods at less
expense than those of New England
because OF cheaper material and la
Dor; transportation costs little OF
nothing, and fuel and other necessa-
ries are lower in price; the climate
permits running at all seasons, and
other advantages are enjoyed oi
which the New England competitor
is deprived. 1t is stated that south
ern cotton goods are even displac
ing those of England in India, Chins
and Japan.-Cincinnati Artisan.

ner. This has been the democratic
doctrine since the days of Jefferson,
Madison and Jackson.
Our country is a country of in
dustry and labor. The democratic
party has been the great friend OF
the laboring classes, and of the
equal and just rights of all. To
foster and encourage the home pro-
ductive industries of ,the country
against the low-priced labor of Eu-
rope has always been an object of
democracy. The new-fangled idea
of free trade, or a tariff for revenue,
that excludes and precludes all pro-
lection and encouragement to home
production and labor, is in the in
terest of the republican party. 1t
is not democratic doctrine. There
can be no such thing as free trade
while foreign nations levy heavy
duties on our exports, which are
taken to their markets. Free trade
requires reciprocity between ma
tions. 1t would be absurd to re-
move our tariff on imports from
while that country heavily
taxes our exports there. The Cob
den Free Trade Club is not in the
interest of the people of the United
States. And the phrase "a tariff
for revenue only is device in IA
Vor of, and in the interest of the
present republican party. 1t mani

Col. E. T. Taliaferro addressed
the Irish League at Ft. Smith on
st. Patrick's day. AS he always
does, he made a good speech and
the following paragraph published
in the Tribune of the 25th shows
how it was appreciated:
Resolved, That the thanks OF
this league are due the Hon. E. L.
Taliaferro, for the able lecture de-
liYered by him at the request of the
league at its entertainment on st.
Patrick's day. His lecture being
not only an eloquent eulogy upon
the life and labors of that venerable
Saint, but also a graphic descrip-
tion of the wrongs inflicted upon
Ireland by foreign government
and clear, logical and forcible ex-
position of the principles upon
which Ireland is at this time en-
deavoring to obtain a redress Of
those grievances and establish FOL
herself and her posterity her heav
en-born right-the right of self
government-and to aid which this
| branch is established.

poison. And he to whom l have
given my hand; who watched over
my brothers dying form in that
last solemn hour, and buried. the
dear wanderer there by the river in
that land of gold, will, I trust, sus-
tain me in that resolve. viii you

His glistening eyes, his sad, sweet
smiles was her answer.
The judge left the room, and
when an hour later he returned and
with a more subdued maaner, took
part IN the entertainment of the
bridal guests, no one could fail to
read that he, too, had determined
to dash the enemy for once and for
ever from his princely rooms.
Those who were present at that
wedding can never forget the i'm
preston so solemnly made. Many
from that hour foreswore the social
glass.

Did you ever stand near a hill in
winter and watch the boys coast
ing and not wish that you were a
boy again just for an hour? How
jolly a crowd of coasters are. Ev-
cry boy seems to have an idea that
he must talk and shout or some
thing will burst, and they all try to
do it at once. The keen, fresh air,
and invigorating exercise make the
lungs demand exercise, and nature
asserts her sway by making the
boys exercise their lungs by shout
ing and talking. See the laughing,
sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks of
the youngsters. Fun? Was there
ever a place on this earth where a
boy gets more fun than while
coasting? Why, a boy will get
more fun out of sliding down
steep hill on a barrel stave, if he
can't get sled, than he could at al
most any other sport. 1t don't
seem right to prohibit the sport.
We must not forget that we were
boys and as boys had our fun. 1t
might be good idea, however, to
use the middle of certain streets
for coasting and let the fact be gen.
enerally known,so that there can be
no reasonable excuse for people
crossing those streets, but it does
seem little reaching to arrest
boy for sliding down hill, no matter
what hill it may be.

To-day finds us setting back in 6
log cabin in our western home anC
it is raining like cats fighting. We
have enjoyed some very pleasant
weather during the present month
and such has enabled the farmers
to finish planting corn and prepare
their gardens. Elmo is a beautiful
little village of about 100 inhabi-
tants, on the T. & P. r. R., 8 miles
west of Wills Point and east OF
Terrell. The soil is of light gray
sandy and is very productive for
cotton. We have noticed but little
small grain sown in this country.
Vegetation is putting up with great
rapidity; in a few weeks we Giles
countians can begin to use economy
with forty foot rope. Stock looks
very badly; in fact, there is no good
stock in or around this place. Cat
tie is extremely high; an ordinary
milk COW would be worth $50. /

29th, we are to have election to de-
termine whether or not we shall

Our little village has met with
several misfortunes in the past few
months. The principal part of the
business houses were totally de-
stroyed by fire last fall, and since
Jan. 1st several of the dry goods
houses have been entered and goods
carried away. The post office has
been entered and robbed twice.
One Mr.. Sprayberry was planting
corn, aided by his wife, last Thurs
day, and some hungry thief entered
his house and carried off all of his
wearing apparel, bed clothes, watch
es, and even to a half dollars worth
of coffee that he had borrowed.

has pursued its migration through
the state, arousing the fear of the

as an evil omen. The negroes and

Mr.. Jay Gould is undoubtedly
well able to judge of the south's in
dustrial future, and hence his views
upon that subject must carry con-
siderable weight. In late inter
view he said that the southern
states have made such progress
since the war as was never made by
New England, even in her palmiest
days. While the politicians have
been berating that section, her
people continued at work, until
now the business world is awaken

the south is enchanting the atten-
