Some men have the ability to decide between
what sort Of edibles are beneficial and what
are not; what will put fat upon their bones
and give strength to their muscles This, in
fact, is 30 important that everybody, and

the best authorities says on this subject:

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.
Protected Tin Plate Would he Cheaper in
Two Years than the Imported.


A venerable citizen of Connecticut
George W. Denny of New Haven. gives
the following reasons for thinking that
with a protective duty on tin plate do
mestic article could be made that would
be as good as the best imported, and, in
Two years, as cheap or cheaper Saws Mr..
Denny:

never so many ready to act as now and
there never was so much idle capital az

And here | want to say a word for the
tin plate business, of which YOU have
spoken, not pound of which is made in
this country. When we consider the
vast resources of this country. when we
look at the vast army of enterprisino
business men, its skilled laborers. and
the vast multitude of men bopinp for
good wages, it is a burning shame that
we pay our English cousins $50. 0O0. 900
annually for the tin plate we use here
Protect this industry, say q cents per
pound if need be, and inside Of
two years it will be built no in
this country, employing thousands Of
hands and serving us with as fine

AN immigration Convention is called to
meet at Montgomery, Ala, on December
12, 1888. The governors Of all the South
ern states are expected to be present.
The South is making extraordinary efforts
TO attract settlers but thus far with very
little success. Although that area Of
the country has the advantage Of a ready
made community and the hest soil in the
world, it has never been able TO com
pete with the West in attracting immi-
grants The reason is obvious. The
men and women who come here from Eu-
rope do so largely to escape the oppres-
Eions Of the home government. They
are seeking a spot where they can enjoy
free speech and free and untrammeled
pursuit Of their business. This has
hitherto not been possible in all parts of
the South, while it is the normal condi-
tion Of the great West. Let the South
cultivate decent public opinion; grant
each man whether white or colored his
fullest rights under the constitution, and
then emigration will flow in that direc.

trust that Judge Livingstone's course

Every man that bets on the election
thereby places himself outside the ranks
