The Presidency and the Tariff Question

1t always has been and still is our firm
conviction that the nomination of Mr. Tilden
for the Presidency and some strong man
from the West as candidate for the Vice
Presidency, would ensure success to The
Democratic party ut the Presidential election
next fall particularly ii the platform adopted
by the Democratic national convention, at
Chicago should clearly and unequivocally
pledge the party To II thorough reform OF the
present oppressive tariff, the operations of
which are proving 5" destructive TO every
interest of the country, and more especially
to that great interest, agriculture, upon
which the prosperity of all others SO materi-
ally depends.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
takes the same view of the political situation.
He says:
"Beiug in Washington recently the writer met
with very intelligent member OF Congress from
one of the leading States of the west and In the
course of conversation the question was asked
him what in his opinion would be the strongest
ticket that could be presented by the Demo
cratic party candidates for the presidency
and yice-presidency He replied that his sim
would be the most available nomination that
the coming convention could make. With
Morrison on the the ticket he felt perfectly as
snred that Illinois would be carried Tor the
Democracy
ain connection with this question of tariff
reform 1t may not be amiss 10 quote from
letter received some time ago by the writer
from one of the most enlightened statesmen of
England and who has held some Of the highest
positions under his government. lie says:
at is surprising to me how slowly sound no
tions on the fiscal policy of trade grow In the
United States. | have, however, II mixed feel
ing on the subject. With my friendly feelings
and constant relations with the States l feel
most anxious in their interest that they should
derive the benefits arising from freedom OF trade
but at the same time | feel when that day
arrives the most formidable competitor to Eng
land in foreign markets will be your country.
As long us you are under strong protective
tariff our commercial ascendancy is secure
"fhe above is the honest and sincere opinion
of one of the wisest and most practical men
either in great Britain or America. The action
of that portion of the Democratic members of
Congress who by their unnatural alliance with
the Republicans thwarted the efforts OF the ma
jority of their colleagues to carry into effect
measure which was intended as an initatory
step towards thorough reform in our present
tariff policy is to be deeply regretted, but 1t Is
to be hoped that this great question OF tariff
reform will continue to be agitatcd both in
Congress and out of Congress until all the
great interests of the country, agricultural,
commercial and mechanical, are placed in the
enjoyment of all the benefits arising from
"FREEDoM OF TRADE"

A. NJ. Fulford, President, met in Baltimore,
Wednesday. DR.. Robert Ward, State Yeteri-

as a preventive of pleuro. pneumonia He
showed the process by means of COWS tail,
which he took, and with the aid of large sur
geon's needle, pulled thread saturated with
virus through an orifice near the stump, which
completed the incubation. Then he explained
the efiects-ef the virus upon the animal, and
how the part where the fluid is applied will die
and must be removed at the proper time. He
produced clipping instrument, and at single
blow chopped off piece of the tail, and had the
subject been live animal II would thereafter
have been bob-tail COW. The doctor said this
remedy, ifapplied to all the cows In the city
dairy stables, would effectually stamp out
