Some Protection Fallaoies Exposed.

The Pulaski CITIZEN is sorry to
see us getting into bad company
joining with those who are making
war upon the infant industries of
the SOUTH" Nothing is further
from our desire or intention, nor do
we believe that tariff for revenue
only with Incidental protection is
making war upon the aforesaid in
fants. Here are. our ideas in re-
gard to protection: Owing to
changed conditions as CONF ared
with the status of this country
even forty years ago, protection
now is too great q discrimination
by the government in favor of one
class as against another. This is
populnus country and a great con
sumner. AS plain illustration a
suit of clothes for which the farmer
pays in this country SIS, could be
imported and sold to him for S.
The difference of 81 goes into
the capacious pocket of the protec-
ted manufacturer, and his opera
tives depend upon his generosity
alone for a share in this difference
between the cost of the protected
and duty free article. The argu-
ment is delusive that would have US
believe that protection protects.
Protection is discrimination which
the people of the country should IN
acknowledgements Democrat.
Is is impossible to construct
free trade argument without work
ing in this "capacious pocket"
racket. That is a fallacy. The
government has to have revenue,
and from the beginning it has been
found that duties on imports fur
nished more money more easily and
with less burden than any other form |
of taxation. Direct taxation Is i'm
possible, the internal revenue sys-
tenn is an unjust, sectional, piratical,
cruel, spying, bloody |
system that keeps up q horde of
office seekers and spies for very lit
tie revenue. Duties on imports,
must be levied. 1t is err
roneous to say that the 81 diff
ference on the suit of clothes goes
into the "capacious pocket of our
protected citizen every time. 1t
comes GU T of the capacious pocket
of the man who is able to buy the
clothes and goes to support the
II he buys much, he
pays much; if he buys little, he
pays little. Thus we see that the
burden falls most heavily on the
men with most money to spend. A
large part of it comes out of the
pocket of the foreign manufacturer
who has to get down to the very
bottom to compete with our facto-
ries. He does it by squeezing it
out of his ragged workingmen and
women, sand if we adopt his free
trade methods we'll have our work
ingmen ragged and starving. Mel
Their is it true that we could get
that suit of clothes for So If the tar
iff were removed. He sells it un-
der a terrific squeeze now, but if
you remove the tariff, up he'll
bounce his prices, and instead of
getting his goods cheaper, the
money our government now gets
from duties will go into his pocket
as profits.
We have not space to elaborate
these ideas. There are monstrous
at stake and this matter
ought to be decided lntelligently.
The Democrat man is a sensible
man but he is in error here. Law
if she ever develops,
must do it through her manufactu
ring facilities. If free trade is
or anything short of am
pie protection, you had just as well
burn Lawrenceburg to the ground.

The NEGRO Problem.

The oolored man is gradually
leaving the cotton plantations, and
it is estimated that between thirty
and fifty per cent. of the present
cotton crop is raised by white la
Dor. Many theories are advanced
to demonstrate the reason why the
colored man is fast leaving a field
which hitherto he seemed to have a
peculiar monopoly. One fact is
prominent that, being free, the wo-
men stay at home and the children
60 to school. The negroes, since
the war, have been gradually drift
ing towards the towns and large
cities. More white people are gath
ering southwark while the colored
people are going northward and
elsewhere. Many of the colored
men have left the south, and are
now engaged as laborers on fine
work in the coal mines. Again, the
cotton belt has increased a good
deal. The cotton area, in fact, is
extending further north. 1t is now
raised around Petersburg, Va,
though before the war it was
thought it would not grow in that
section at all. In the upper belt,
where the air is salubrious and pure,
the white man can, of course, do as
well as any one else. Down in the
Mississippi river bottoms and in
the lower parts of Georgia, Florida
and Alabama it will be long time
before the white man be acclimated
or supplant negro labor. Colored
labor is, on the whole, very salts
factory, and it will be long time
before it is entirely supplanted by
that of white.-American CultiVator.

ADVERTISING RAvEs:
A DISCOURSE UPON NOISE.
Various Elements Both Pleasant and Uu-
pleasant of the Worlds Noises.

Man delights is noise. He gives
evidence Of his taste for noise at his
birth. He comes crying into
to world and when be ACQUIRES
strength he "drums on the table
with his SPOON" in those rare in
tervals when he ceases squalinQ.
Boys have secret love Of thunder
even when they dread it, and what
other passion can equal that of
boy pounding on an empty tomato
can? In him IS exempliiied human
human fondness of noise. He whis-
ties shrilly, he screams, he initiates
the cries of birds and animals. he
produces ear splitting sounds with
many varieties of toy instruments.
His drum is a panacea for all the
woes that befall him. Everything
we hear is noise. In fact we cannot
possibly hear anything but noise.
All intense excitement or passion
canses him to raise his voice and
TO produce noise. Observe how he
takes pleasure IN music, which
is simply harmonious noises. The
origin of concerts and dreadful Gus
toms may be traced TO this desire
to listen to noise. Man has been
defined as the animal that lauobs.
and laughter as we know, is a noise
and sometimes a very unpleasant
one. Most women are fond of noise.
They prefer the defamation OF an
orator 'full of sound, fury, signify
ing nothing" to the quiet conversa-
tlon of a friend. DR.. johnson pre-
ferred the noises of London and
the rafting of a coach to the pleas
ATTEST rural sounds, ''and all the
live murmur Of a summer day." in
the country. Another literary man
studied best near the uproar of a
servants hall. The bell has always
been much venerated producer of
noise. The poets have sung its
praises, and Poe has devoted one
famous poem to a description of the
noise of bells.
Cowper is the poet of noise and
praises even the hoarse notes of the
cawing rocks and the boding owl.
Certain savages endeavor to propi-
tiate their gods by the noise of
drums and trumpets. Uncivilized
man goes to battle with loud shouts,
and in Greek and Roman literature
there are many accounts of the
strange results of fierce war cries in
terrorizing the foe. Cato, the elder,
boosted that he had gained more
victories by the throat of his army
than by their swords. We cannot
wonder that the Scots have been
victorious when we consider the ter
ror-imparting character Of their ma
tional band Of music, the bag pipes.
Among unpleasant noise we may
mention: Phe excruciating tones
of an amateur vocalist; the voice Of
a needy acquaintance requesting
the loan of ten dollars; the mourn
full jingle of ones last cent against
ones keys, and what Whitman
would term ''the oul-harrowing
yawp of babe in the night" And
yet, the most successful and the
most enyied man is he who makes
the greatest noise.-Texas Siftings.

How We Taste When nnoked

The members of the COlored
Methodist Conference, now in ses-
sion at Washington, listened yester-
day TO a colloquy between their
bishop and Prof. A. +. Soloder, a
converted cannibal, the effect Of
which was TO send a shudder
through the brethren. The profess
sor, who is a native Of the FIJI Is
lands, on being introduced to the
conference, related a number of in
teresting things, and among the rest
the fact that he had eaten human
flesh "many time" To a ques-
tion from the bishop as to the diff
ference in taste between human
flesh and beef, the convert with a
motion OF the jaws suggestive OF
anything but conjunction, replied
that human flesh tasted more like
mule.sweet like" The professors

promiscuous for agreeable compan-
ionship.- Baltimore Sun.

BY MERE ACCIDENT.
BY LIZZIE LYONS.

In her miserable attic room Ethel
Dare, young girl Of II, was pre-
pairing to go 10 her days work.
The air was white with frost and
everything she touched seemed to
turn to ice. She had burned up her
last lump of coal the night before,
and consequently could not have
any fire. She went to the cup
board-nothing there; and searched
everywhere, and finally found q
crust of bread. This she tried to
eat, in the vain hope that it may
allay the gnawing hunger.
Putting on her threadbare shawl
and descending the attic stairs, she
started, stiff and breakfastless, to
face the cola.
She was employed at one of the
large dry goods stores where, yery
Saturday night, she was handed an
envelope containing just 50 80 as
remuneration for her life of toll and
hardship.
Six months before her mother
had died, and, as Ethel had no
money, she had been compelled to
apply to the authorities for burial
by the city, where she and the wo-
man from whom they rented were
the only mourners.
Mrs. Dare in her girlhood had
been the only daughter of a very
wealthy Wholesale merchant, and
was petted and spoiled by her only
brother, but she had, against her
fathers wishes, married a worthless,
proAigate fellow, and he had dis
owned her. She soon became a
widow, and appealed to her father
for assistance, which was ignobly
refused in the harsh and cruel
terms that "she had made her bed,
now let her lie on it," She never
wrote again, but strove to work for
her child and herself and keep the
wolf from the door. On her death
bed she told her daughter her whole
sad story, and implored her never
to marry Ia drunkard. Ethel had
very unfortunately inherited her
mothers great beauty, consisting of
large blue eyes, golden curls. and |
perfect features.
She had meanwhile reached the |
store, and after an interminable long
day Of dull monotony and dreary !
work prepared to return to her mis-
cradle attic.

she looked in her new checked

slippers for me.

was afraid that she would remain in
the room.
"This fall weather is delightful,

Yes, it is so beautiful. l like
the fall SO much better than l do
the spring. The spring is full of
glee but the fall is full of signs"
"Then you like the sighs better
than you do the glee.
"Oh, yes, they mean so much
more" She laughed in her ripping
way and the blood of resentment
mounted to MY face as l recalled
my fathers declaration that she
cackled like a guinea hen.
"Why, Anderson, what makes
you blush?"

'Indeed, 1 am not"
Then why don't you tell me
whether or not you love me-"
She laughed, but soon depressing
her meriment she said:
eff your father were to hear me
he would say that 1 cackle like a

'Never mind what he says, but
pay attention to what 1 say. Oh,
don't you see how devotedly 1 love
you? Don't you see me when 1 lay
my heart at your feet? Tell me
will you be my wife?"

grinned at me, and as she was put

she was shaking with laughter.
When she withdrew 1 turned to
Zelda and said:
"You must give me an answer"
Anderson, you have plenty of
time. You are young"
Don't talk to me of time. Talk
to me of an eternity of love, but not
OF time. 1t cannot be possible that
