PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER,
\ List Of Seven Possible Rcpub-

Democrat says: The list OF possible
candidates for the Republican pIcs-
idcntial nomination seems to be
confined to about seven men,
they are: Gresham, Shcridcn, Al
lison, lIawlcy, Cullom, lIiscock
and Harrison, Some one Of these
will probably be selected GrcSh-
am appears to have the best chance
mt present, although there is con
siderable opposition to him in his
own state. In fact, the only active
opposition to him anywhere is that
which is in Indiana, nad which j.

morrow. than any other man. Shcr-
mans long ana active political ca

enemies. His record is almost as
well known at that of Clay or
Webster half Il century ago, and
fully as well rs thWt of Marcy, Cass
or Seward. These men, like Shcr-
man, were among the abicSt and
most illustrious members of the po
litical organizations to which they
belonged; but they were alt beaten,
either in the nominating convcn-
tions or at the polls by men who
were comparatively untricd and OBJ

to predict, though, that Sherman,
unlike Clay or taSS, would be
elected If the nomination should be
given him.

How Our Farmers Are Protected.

One of the stock arguments OF the
free traders, and of the advocates of the
Mills bill is, that the import duty on any
article raises by the amount of the duty
the price of the article to the consumer,
and this rule. it is claimed, applies not
only to articles imported, but also to
similar articles of domestic production.
These same free traders and so-called
revenue reformers also claim that manu-
facturers derive all the benefits of i'm
ports, and that the farmers are made to
suffer in consequence, because the pro-
ducts of their labor are not protected.
The tenderness and solicitude of the
Democrats for the welfare of the farmer
is something very touching in these lat,
ter days. But let Us see whether the
statement is true that our farmers derive
no protection from the existing tariff.
According to the report of the De-
partment of Agriculture, 1887, the yield
of various crops in the United States for
the year ending 1886, was as below CIV
en-, and the duties in the following table
are those now fixed by law:

The Mills Tariff Bill a Farce.

Mark A. Hanna Of Ohio, in a recent
interview said:
Harrison and Morton will certainly
be elected if the Republicans are not
overconfident. The Democrats, you
know, always try to carry some State
where the Republicans least expect it,
and Col Brice is bright business man
whose methods need not define, as they
are generally understood"

publican. / as man interested in the
iron industries am opposed to continu-
ance of ad valOrem duties, and [ prefer
that they shall be specific, but | am not
in favor Of a reduction Of the tariff be-
yond what the industry can stand and
prosper. The Mills bill is farce. 1t is
a burlesque on tariff legislation While
am interested in iron matters [ say the
tariff on the metals should be readjusted,
yet the tariff on iron ore was left as it
was because Virginia, Tennessee, and
Alabama demanded it, and cotton ties,
one of the highest products of finished
iron, was put on the free list. One of
the largest productions of the North is
petroleum and it is one of our largest
export commodities and yet the hoop
around the petroleum barrel pays one of
the highest duties, while the same article
exactly because it is on cotton bale
pays no duty. There is the farce. Cot
ton is a Southern and petroleum a
Northern product, and the same COM
modify on one is free, though on the
other it pays duty. The wire around the
Northern farmers bale of hay is duti-
able, while cotton ties to accommodate
the South are free. This is one of the
clearest illustrations of the insincerity
of the Mills bill and the Democrats who

The Mills Bill a Southern Victory.

The Illinois Stdats ZeitM1g one of the
most influential German papers in the
country, and which has been leaning
slightly toward mugwumpism, in re-
cent issue says:
"The 21st of July. 1861, the first battle
of the four years civil war was fought
at Bull Run. 1t was defeat for the North.
Twenty-seven years later the same date
there was fought in the House of Repre-
sentatives a bloodless battle, which also
resulted in a victory for the south the

to be. The fact that a farmer can get a
fair price for his wool enables him to

one reason why so many Republican
members are so tenacious about retain
ing the duty on wool. They consider it
advantageous not only to the farmers
but to the meat consumers throughout
the country.
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle: The greatest

certain manufactures will be entirely
transferred to the South if the fostering
policy of protection prevails. We have
all the essentials to success in manufac-
lures in our favor. All that we need is
patience and industry. We have the
climate We suffer not from the rigors
of winter. and the manifold expenses in
cident to a cold and severe climate.
Our mills would not be stopped by the
seventies of winter, and the expenses of
living are less in the South than in the
North. The pay of labor is less. We
have already driven the North out OF
the market In brown goods Northern
mills cannot compete with ours. 1t is
only a question of time when the South
will engage successfully in the manufac-
ture Of fine cotton goods. We can make
iron and steel cheaper than in the North
in few years. Indeed, we are now do
ing it in Alabama and Tennessee. The
elements of steel and iron-ore, coal.
and limestone-are found in close prox-
unity in many Southern States. This is
not so in the North, as not more than
two of the primary elements are ever
found together. The cost of production
is therefore less in the South than in the
North, but it will take time for the South
to build nm her manufactures
