The Difference.

The New York Sun gives the fol-
lowing idea of the difference be-
tween the "free trade" and sspro-
lection" wings of the Democratic
party:
Practically, the dispute grows
out of the fact that the revenues of
the United States are too big. There
Is this year surplus of more than
one hundred and thirty million dol
lars after paying the regular expen-
ses of the Government. Mr.. Ran
dali and his friends advise that this
surplus shall be abolished in the fu-
ture by abolishing the internal reve-
nue. taxes while Carlisle and his
friends propose to get rid of it by re-
ducing the taxes on imported goods
leaving the internal revenue mainly
as it is.
But, along with this difference in
practical measures, there is a differ
ence in theory. Mr.. Carslile and
his friends hold that in the abstract
the only true system would be free
and foreign countries, admitting
without duty the products of those
countries and raising the necessary
revenue by means of direct taxa
ton. But this is impracticable in
the present situation of the United
States principally because a con-
trary system has long been estab-
Iished and practiced here; and so
they hold that, in raising revenue
by import duties, regard should be
had exclusively to the capacity of
each important duty, and no regard
should be paid to the question
whether the same article can or
cannot be produced in the United
States. In other words, there
should be no attempt by means OF
a higher duty to protect the Ameri-
can producer of such articles against
the competition of the foreign produ-
Ger. This is the doctrine which has
been advocated by Mr.. Carlisle and
the Courier-Journal, and which is
believed to have got the upper
hand in the election of Mr.. Carlisle
as speaker OF the House of Repre-
sentatives. But how far this doc
trine is to be applied Immediately,
and how far is it to be temporarily
modified in favor of protection, can
not be known until the new tariff
bill is published but some such
modification would seem to be
probable.
On the other hand, Mr.. Randall
and his friends hold that in franz
ing tariff it is just and wise to so
apportion the duties as to afford to
the American producer sufficient
protection against the competition
of foreign producers and, as we
have said, they would get rid of the
present surplus income of the gov
eminent by first abolishing the in
ternal revenue system. This system
they hold to be foreign to our policy,
having been introduced and contin-
ued solely for the purposeOf prOvid-
ing for the enormous burdens of the
civil war. That war having ended
nineteen years ago, and the public
debt which it created having, to a
great extent, been paid off, they would
wipe out this kind of taxation, and
leave the subjects of it, such as spir-
It's, beer, and tobacco, to be taxed
by the several States, as they may
find convenient and advisable.

THE Boston Traveller, after pub
fishing a review of the statistics up
on cotton manufacturing in the
South, says: This large and phe-
nomenal increase in the number of
Southern mills has of course resulted
in a heavy demand upon Northern
and Western machinery makers
and dealers for all the varied ma
chinery required in well-equipped
cotton factory, and many Northern
machinery manufacturers are now
finding their best markets in the
South.
These facts have much to do with
the feeling which is rapidly growing
all over the South, that the present
tariff policy must not be disturbed.
There has been time when the
South demanded free trade; but
that time, though some of the poll
ticians at Washington do not seem
yet to realize it, has passed. South
ern interests, even more than those
of New England, demand protec-
ton, and Southern interests will
find way to make their influence
felt.

Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.

Every day a number of colored
gentlemen from Virginia have how
cred about the corridors adjacent to
the rooms where sit the investiga-
tors of the Danville riots. These
are witnesses. AS most of them
never saw anything more striking
than the Danville courthouse, they
become somewhat bewildered
while running about the basement
of the Capitol. They seem to get
confused on the subject of the riot.
A broad shouIded white gentleman
is engaged daily with these witness
ses coaching them. He has a char
ter map of the Danville battle-ground
and goes over it carefully with these
witnesses in order to prepare them
for cross examination.
The other day one of these igno.
rant colored men got so tangled up
in his testimony that he could not
get out but by escaping from the
room. When he got out he met his
prompter, and to his upbraiding the
witness wiping the cold sweat from
his face, replied: "Foh God, boss,
l dunno whether 1 was there or
not you heah me ?"

Justice TO fire South.

The Boston Herald, a Republi-
can journal, has this much to say in
Justice to the South
"The claims of the ultra stalwart
papers that the negro vote at the
South is suppressed by violence
and murder is not sustained by the
facts of the situation"
The Herald proceeds to review
matters in Mississippi, and refers to
the election of fourteen negroes to
the Mississippi Legislature. 1t pro
ceeds further:
"The truth is, the Stalwart Re
publicans may as well accept it,
that the negro rule at the South is
as impossible as it is undesirable,
and that the old scheme of utilizing
the negro vote to keep white scala
ways in power can never be made
to work again. The negro himself
finding his freedom secure, and
right to labor and enjoy the fruits
of his labor recognized under more
liberal arrangements than prevailed
directly after the war, has lost much
of his interest in politics. He is
on friendly relations with his white
and often votes with him
or not at all.

The following dispatch was sent
to the Courier Journal from Island
Shoals, Ga: ION an adjoining
farm Mr.. Samuel Mcdaniel, "a young
farmer, was in the field blowing.
His plow caught on some obstruc-
ton and, urging the mule, he found
that the plow had caught in the
handle of five-gallon jug, which
was slowly pulled out of the ground.
The jug had corn stopper, sealed
with sealing wax, and a piece of
tin doubled over it, with wire fas-
tened around it, making it perfectly
secure. Mcdaniel was anxious to
know what was in the jug, so he
took the heel screw off his pillow
and twisted the wire. This enabled
him to take out the cork. He then
placed the jug on stump, and
applying ris lips, tasted the best
brandy he had ever sampled. So
captivated was he, that he drank
several times, and at last, the liquor
overcoming him, he slipped down
asleep at the foot of the stump.
Failing to come home to dinner. his
mother went out to the field after
u1u1s WHEEL AO was dOVOb waning
up. Together they gave the jug
another examination when Mrs.
McDaniel's attention was attracted
to its great weight. An investiga-
ton showed the presence of 1900
five-dollar gold pieces, making a
total of 50, 500.
The mystery was cleared up in a
singular manner. McDaniePs grand
father was Captain in the Florida
war. 1t was known that he was
wealthy before he left. On news of
his death in one of the battles with
Indians, no trace of his money
could be found. The fact that years
after his only grandson and heir
should have found his fortune is a
singular incident. The finding of
this jug leads to the hope that there
may be others, and the blowing of
that field is watched with inter
est"

The Indian and the Boy.

to Muskogee, l. T. I had thought
i would be the only passenger, but
when a woman and boy, and sub
sequently a half Indian, entered, /
very naturally revised my former

would have company. The half
Indian had been educated at an
eastern school, and was a very in
telligent man. He was, l under

tors. When the boy learned that
the man was an Indian he began to
exhibit a restlessness which soon
discovered would result in the red
mans annoyance.
"Did you ever kill anybOdy?'' he
asked.

"don't be rude"

kee.
"Then what makes you be In
dian ?"

(which half?"
"Thomas," exclaimed the wom-
an, turning him around, unbutton-
ing his coat and buttOning it again.
He remained quiet for few mo-
ments and then said:
"Maw?"
"What, dear ?''
"a half Indian would. only half
kill anybody, wouldn't he ?"

"Then what makes you wanter

"Do Indians scalp folks ?" again
addressing the Cherokee counsellor,
who exhibited the stoical side of his
Indian nature, but then yielding to
the white and of course political half,
replied:

"But you are not wild, are you ?"
"NO,"
"Why amt you ?''
"My little man, 1 must say that
you're asking too many questions"
casting a reproachful glance at the
woman.
"If you don't hush I'll whip you.
Do you hear me?"
Taking his hat from the floor and
putting it on his head he answered
-"YesSum."
'If you was a wild Indian you'd
cut me with knife when / stOop

The Cherokee looked far out over
the lands of his fathers but made
no reply.
