demned because they did not make
combinations With the protection
members Of the North aud unite
all interests intoeone pool.
As an evidence of the pretended
willingness of 1.-THE Northern pr otet
zionist to combine with SOuthe rn y
terests in a protection pool the read
er is referred to the following COT
versation, that lately occurred be
tween Converse, one of the protec
ton leaders, aud Mr.. MOrriso".
found in . telegram to the N. u
States : ~
WARRINGTON, June PA few
days ago Mr.. Converse, of Ohio,
the leader OF the opposition to the
Morrison tariff bill, remarked tn
MI. Morrison that he thought the
Democratic party could not affOrd
to adjourn without reducing inter
nal revenue taxation.
CAN right" said Mr.. Morrison.
"l'm with yOu.hHow much revenue
do you think the gOvernm cnt can
spare ;"
Nj. Converse replied that fifty or
sixty millions ought to he spared,
aud Mr.. Morrison said that he would
agree that Mr. Converse might name
the articles from which thirty mi!
lions Of internal revenue taxes, and
fifteen million of tariff taxes should
be..taken and that he would him
self name the articles from which
the remaining fifteen millions Of tar
1T should be taken.
Mr.. Converse agreed to this 'and
proposed that thirty millions be tax
Ell from tobacco and fruit brandy,
and fifty millions from sugar.
Mr.. Morrison proposed that ff
teen millions be taken from pig
;rou wool, aud one or two other arti
cieS.
The mere mention of a reduction
on wool stamped Mr.. Converse,
aud the prospect of u compromise
between the tariff reformer aud the
Ohio pr0teci0nist was at an end.
but he had given another illu stIa
ton of tho fact that the interests Of
are safest in the keeping
Vt the rev venue refOrmers.
This discloses the facts. They
need no explanation. They are
to reduce the tariff gu sugar
1ut it mast not be reduced on wool
md iron.
There is no safety to the sugar
or rice grower in the RepIb
lean rank. Their policy is ssdis
SO as to protect the
WOOL grower, aud the manufactu
ers of the North and West iu or
Ter to enrich them, and to destroy
III Southern Industries If placing
heir products on the free list will
it.
And yet they have the brazeu i'm
udelce to Imagine that sugar
rowers will vote their ticket aud
DELIBERATELY cut their own throats
Mr. Saudidge says that sugar
rice planters say that they can
OF live without protective duties.
nd then this man joins the kepub
eau ranks 10 save the Tariff on
lose articles. Y,
Pitching hot Goals into a powder
Magazine to save the powder!
MIR. Sandidge adds, "the country
sick and tired Of the long fetlock s
Did back, stick 10 the mud, slow y
zach sort of leaders, aud they :
light to be killed Off" a
Correct, aud the Democracy have t
'plied this remedy: upon himself. = :
dr. SANDWICHES manifesto has been "
tinted u week or more.
1t was kind in him not to allow :
e people Of Louisiana to be taken
ok too suddenly Oh the great som
has seen tit to make. The

'ter, still flows through the Davis
eyasse, Earthquakes have not
aiken the Earth, nor cyclones dis
roed the quiet OF the atmosphere.
d the chances, are that Mr.. Sand
;e's wonderful manifesto. will have
more effect on the political
RID than the barking of Ponto
