The PROTECTION newspapers OF tue
North ridicule the South for its wordy sup
port of free trade, while at the same time
it opposes reduction in the tariff upon any
article produced in the South. And the
ridicule is legitimate. sincere free trader
wants the tariff reduced on every thing,
whether produced in his own or in any 9TH
er State. The civil war, railroads, tele-
graphs. the decisions Of the Supreme Court,
and the Blair bills have almcst wiped out
State lines and the products of one State are
practically those of all the others, and GER
tainly, so far as revenue is concerned, should
be treated alike. 1t is for this reason that
the tax on tobacco is so unjust. The sugar
and rice of the South, as we'll as the iron
and wool Of the North, are necessarles OF
life. and the duty upon all of them, and up
on every thing else than people are COM
PEELED to use, should be reduced to the low
est possible limit.

THE SAFETY of this country, yet awhile al

THE SAFETY of this country, yet awhile al
least, is secured by the large percentage o'
its small property holders. A man Whose
sole possession is an investment OF i've nun
dred dollars is just as much interested ID
its security as his rich neighbor is IN thae
of an investment of fifty thousand dollars
It is all he has, and he guards it with Jeai-
Gus eye. If he be sensible, he knows tna'
if he comedies to others the power to re-
strict his pers onal liberty, to make him do'
not what he wants, but what they want him
to do, he can not consistently deny them
the power to interfere with his property, to
demand share of it, or, before that pass be
reached, to make it valueless by the depres'
sion of business. We're it not for the moral
conservative power of the millions OF small
properly owners in the United States the
innate impotence of the fedora! authority
would now be rendered glaringy apparent.

"dude."
Mrs. Grant is certain, so say her
publishers, to receive $3.50, 900 from

compounded of two words, HAT,
bread, and acear7ion, to look after,
or have the care of.

''Tho' lost to sight to memory dear"

POWER OF TIDAL WAVES.

The enormous power of ocean
tidal waves has frequently been
illustrated, notably when United
States war vessel was carried two
miles inland on the coast of South
America and left stranded there.
A fresh instance, even more remark
able, is reported from Batavia, as q
result of the Krakatoa earthquake,
which was the supposed cause of the
recent red sunsets. Great masses
of white coral, weighing several tons,
some of them estimated at from
thirty TO fifty tons in weight, were
torn from their rocky beds and car
ried several miles in shore. The
war vessel was light enough to float,
and it only required sufficient depth
of water to carry her inland for two
miles, but these masses of coral
must have offered great resistance
to the onward flow of the wave.

STATEMENT.

THE undersigned, Committee of D-
L rectors of the Equitable Life AS.
surancc Society of the United States
appointed to formulate the views of y.
Board on the advantages offered by
Society to the public, report
lst-The Society issues all the appro
ed forms of assurance, including OrGi
nary Life, L dowment and Tontine pc
licies. 1t IS immaterial to the Directors
which form OF policy is taken by IN.
tending assures.
2d-The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provide for annual cash divi.
dends and surrender value; are indis.
putable after three years and payable
Immediately after proof of death.
3d-The premiums on Tontine po-
icy are the same MS on the Ordinary
Life, but, while the latter is only pay.
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontinc policy has the right to draw
the whole of the reserve and the accu.
muated profits IN cash ut the end of
stated period; thus, during his own life.
time, after his producing years are past,
he can, without any larger premium
than on an ordinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th-ENperience shows that the return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine pc.
licies approXimates to or exceeds the
amount OF premiums paid by policy
holders, so that the average cost of the
assurance will be only about the interest
on the premiums.
5tl-Tontine policies, like Others. are
paid in full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, and
are incontestable after three years, and
payable Immediately after due proof OF
death.
6th-EXperiencc shows that the NOR.
tally is lower among Tontine policy
holders, as the better lives seek this
kind OF assurances, which is a consider.
able source Of profit
7th-Tontine policies will be made
non-fOrfeitable under the laws of the
State, if so desired at the time the as.
surance is effected.
Sth-The Tontine system is fair and
| just; its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business; the
funds judiciOusly invested and improv.
ed, and the accumulated profits faith.
| fully guarded and properly appoitioned.
9th-The Society has since its organi.
cation transacted larger amount of
new business than any other company,
while its new business for the first half
of the present year is Sl,750,000 larger
