Very Good Political Anecd Totes.

On Monday of last week speeches were
made at Charlottesville by Tarsney of
Michigan; Allen, of Mississippi, and Col.
O'Ferrall.
In speaking OF Mr.. Aliens speech, the
Charlottesville Chronicle says
Mr.. Allen, of Miss, was then introduced,
and made most admirable speech, largely
interspersed witn humorous illustrations
which caused great amusement. One or
two anecdotes were SO good that we will
try to reproduce them.
Referring to Harrison running upon the
prestige of his grandfather reminded him of
a client he once had. He was called upon
to defend boy whose parents were most
excellent people. The boy had committed
so many bad deeds that the peoples patti.
ence had completely given out, and he was
brought to trial. On the jury the lawyer
saw some OF the friends of the boys father,
and he conceived the idea of playing upon
their respect for the old gentleman. He
went to work on them, and pictured in the
warmest and most pathetic manner the dis
grace which would attach to the old people
by the conviction of the son, and had the
satisfaction of seeing the tears of sympathy
roll down the cheeks of the jury-when the
boy, who was sitting just behind him, pluck
ed at his coat, and pulled him down and
whispered, That's right-that's right
give 'em HI on the old man and the old
womanp The application of this anecdote
was SO ludicrous that the audience just
screamed.
He said also, that the relation Blaine
bore to this canvass reminded him of an
entertainment that was to be given by
amateurs of the play of Douglass" The
boy who was to play Norval could not COM
NIT his piece, aud the manager did not
know what to do. There was young man
who knew the piece, but he was too large
for the character. At last, however, he re-
solved to play both of them-the boy as the
character and the young man to speak the
piece. When the play came on the two ap-
peared in the part, and the speech began:
my name is Norval--"
THAT is, this yonng mans name Indicating
the boy) is Norval.
ION the Champion Hills my father feeds"
THAT is, ths father of this young man feeds1
His flock, &c.
MIR. Blaine-"Fellow citizens, 1 am a
candidate for President THAT is, this young
gentleman, Harrison isl; am the son of
my grandfather THAT is, this young gentle
man is" SC.
MI. Harrison cannot speak his piece, said
Mr.. Allen, and the party have to put two
on the boards. Referring to Cleveland, he
remarked, there is man who never forgets
his piece; he needs no mouthpiece; and the
audience just yelled. Mr.. Allen gave some
striking facts on the tariff question, and
clearly demonstrated his ability to cope
with the protectionists in its discussion"

RATES OF ADvERTIsINg:
SOUTHERN POLITICS.

Since Senator Wilson by and with the
advice and consent of the wise men of the
Republican party Haunted the bloody shirt,
OF course we understand that the old CRY
OF Southern bulldozing is to be substituted
Tor the temporary one of protection, put
forth at first to allure the South from its
party allegiance with rose. tinted romances
OF high wages and prosperity.
The message made it so hot for the Rad
icals that they had to fire up their own
furnaces and turn on a blast to make it
warm for the Democrats. The result will
be another curse coming home to roost, for
it will bring to their senses any erratic
Southern Democrats who pondered on the
alleged polite move of putting up prom
Using theory against hard fact.
The Republicans unwittingly brought us
back to the hard fact, which is, that the
South cannot 60 Republican and elect Ben.
Harrison unless it is prepared for far
worse rule than ever afflicted us yet. Let
any reasonable man look at the character
of the man at the head of the ticket and
the declarations of his virulent followers
Republican leaders would in case of VIC
tory on their side carry out their idea of re.
forming the South with star-chamber trials
before Federal courts, packed juries, color
ed marshals and the Albany penitentiary
for any number of people who dared to
defy the faintest wish of the Radical s'sa-
traps"
And the satraps would be carpet.bag and
scalawag Federal judges, appointed on the
qualification of that hate that the traitor
feels for his former brethren whom he de-
serts.
The picture cannot be too strongly
drawn, and it should be found in the cabin
and by the fireside of every Southerner who
wishes to keep his house and his freedom.
Senator Wilson has, like many another
done the Democrats service
that we appreciate, though it was not in
tended that way.
In the light of these facts, therefore, we
beg our Democratic brethren to stand to
their colors as the only flag that can save
them, and let 'issues'' that threaten to
divide 60 to Hong Kong as far as the pres
ent is concerned.
Given the electoral vote of the South we
only need New York, New Jersey, and
Connecticut to win the election, and if we
win it we will hold the fort for twenty
years at least.
If we lose it we may whistle in vain for
luck after onr own folly has thrown away
the chance that seems to be sent by Provi-
ComDaion,

Something from Carlisle.

in the advocacy of cause affecting the in
terests of his country. John G. Carlisle is
If ever a man was endowed with the mental
faculty to grasp the profound and intricate
principles of questions pertaining to Ma
tional economies, he is. He doesn't speak
before his mind has well weighed the ut
terance, and when he does express his views
he does it in manner that carries the force
of his conviction and earns lodgment in
every intelligent mind.
We extract ths following from very re-
cent article furnished by him to Belfords s
Magazine on ''The Tariff and the Evils
Thereof" We do not know of anything of
political nature that contains in as few
words the gist of great controversy
SIT is singular fact that even in this age
of philosophical speculation and practical
knowledge there are men in the front ranks
of literature, politics, and business who
seriously contend that the government can
make its citizens rich and prosperous by
taxing them. Ifthese gentlemen should at
tempt to convince the public that the farm
or could be made more prosperous by in
creasing the tax on his land, or that the
could be benefited by COM
pelling him to pay high rate of taxation
on his machinery or his income, the absurd
lty of their position would be so apparent
as to excite universal ridicule; and yet such
would be no more absurd or
unreasonable than the assertion that the
of the people generally can be
increased by imposing taxes upon their food,
their clothing, their building materials,
their means of transportation, and the tools
and implements used in their industries.
Taxes do not create wealth; they destroy
it. All taxation, whether it be direct or in
direct, and no matter how it may be dis
guised or in what manner its payment may
be enforced, is ultimately charge upon la
Dor; while its immediate and invariable ef-
feet is to withdraw the full amount of the
exaction from the productive industries of
the people. When it is equitably imposed
for public purposes only, and its proceeds
are honestly used in defraying the neces-
sary expenses and meeting the just obliga-
tions of the government, all are equally
benefited, and no one has right to COM
plain; but when tax is imposed upon one
part of the people or one class of industries
simply for the purpose of increasing the
profit of an other part of the people or an
other class of industries, or when tax is
50 laid that its necessary effect is to increaes
the profits in some industries at the expense
Of others equally meritorious, the impolicy
and injustice of the proceeding are too
obvious to require comment"

If the State should pass law that would
require of the farmers a.tax of two or three
per cent. upon their property for the pur-
pose of maintaining the lawyers, or doct ors,
or merchants, would they submit to it?
The high tariff taxes them for the benefit
of the manufacturers aud monepolists and
not only taxes them, but all other classes of
our citizens. Those who derive the direct
benefit from high tariff are but small
minority of the voters of the United States,
So that it amounts to taxing the many for

uses that is not taxed for this purpose
