sESTATIvEs, WAsHINGToS, D. c., )
March 2snd, 1855.
The attention Of Speaker Carlisle
being called to-day to what purported
to be an interview with him, publish
ed in the Philadelphia Times Of yes
terday morning, hO disclaimed all
responsibility for the publication. He
said he had not been interviewed ct all
on the subjects mentioned, and thst
while there were some statements con,
tanned in the publication from which
he did not dissent, there were Others
which entirely misrepresented BIN as
saying that he was decidedly in favor
OF taking the duty off OF sugar wss di.
ametrically opposed to the views he
had always held and still holds upon
that subject.
He said he was opposed to the re.
peal OF the duties Oh sugar aud be.
lieve6 that there should be a mod.
crate and reasonable reduction oi
those duties. as in cases OF many 9th.
er articles subject to tar under She
customs laws. He regarded tho du.
ties on sugar, he said, as almost ell
tirely revenue tax, and believed il was
one OF the duties that should be con-
tinued for that reason.
AFRIEND To THE SUGAR INTEagsTs.
Mr.. Carlisle said that when she
question came up in the House it
would be found that the revenue re.
formers were the best friends OF the
sugar interests, and that the high pro.
tectionists would advocate and vote for
much greater reductions than any pro-
posed in the Mills bill or ever contem.
plated by the majority Of the Com
mittee OF Ways and Means.
"The contest will be between the
revenue reiormers on the one eide
contending for moderate reduction
only, with proper classification, and
the representatives Of other protected
interests who want the greatest part
of the reductions Of the revenue to be
taken off of sugar, tobacco, ard per.
haps whiskey."
Mr.. Carlisle said iurther:--
II have never expressed nor init.
mated doubt as to the propriety Of
placing wool on the free list. 1t is the
first necessary step toward securing
cheaper clo,hing for the people, and
at the same time enabling our manu-.
facturers OF WOODEN goods to compete
successfully with their foreign rivals,
and | regard it as one Of the most i'm
poItant provisions contained in the
hill to be reported from The Cammittee

Thus are the Garfield and the Gran

The effect is revulsion.
Since the fatal days of 1888. many o
the doctrines OF the schoolmen con
cerning extensive medication have
been abandoned, and all schools 0
practice are more and more relying
upon old-fashioned simple root anG
herb preparations and careful nursing
the only reliances known to our an
cestOrs.
These methods and reliances arc
illustrated to-day in a series OF old
fashioned roots and herbs preparations
recently given to the world by the
well'knOwn proprietors OF Warmers

formule possessed by many OF our old
est families, and rescued for popular
use, and issued under the happy des

This is the oldest, most thoroughly

largest sarsaparilla bottle on the mar.
ket, containing 100 doses. There is
no other preparation OF similar name
that can equal it. The name OF its
manufacturers is guarantee of its
superior worth.
While the great doctors wrangle
over the technicalities of an advanced
medical science that cannot cure dis.
ease, such simple preparations year

dan to leave the community. Re
spectacle Republicans, white and
black, have every privilege and right
accorded them in Durham and men
of this stamp are living here now in
the freest liberty. It was not be-
cause Jordan was a Republican he
was sent away from Durham; it was
because he was a boldly bad charac-
ter and a dangerous man among the
worst element Of our people and his
absence was more conducive to good
order, the peace Of the community
and the safety Of property, than his
presence. That is all there is of it.
If the Wilmington Messenger
wishes to continue its course Of
stirring up the matter; lighting fire
brands and tossing them over to
northern Republican journals to still
further distort the facts and feed
their hatred and passions; and thus
sink the assassin's knife still deeper
into Durham's hearts blood, when il
has been given the true cause Of
Jordan's departure, it is not the pa
per We took it to be. Wesay if it still
persists in its unfair and untruthful
course towards Durham, we are moi
so sure it is loyal in all of its preten-
sions, of which it seems to have
great many.

Settling Down to Business,

Settling Down to Business.
Since the subsistence Of the excite
ment and ferment incident to the
presidential election. the people have
settled down to business again. Re
ports from all parts Of the South,
made to the Baltimore Manufac-
turers' Record by its various agents,
indicate that there is very general
disposition to give renewed atten-
ton to industrial matters, and the
outlook in all directions points to an
almost unprecedented activity in the
development Of the South's unlim-
tied resources.
The Lynchburg News says large
number of the leading bankers Of
New York and Philadelphia are now
in Virginia making investigations as
to the opportunities for making
heavy investments in that State.
They were at Richmond Wednes-
day and reached Lynchburg Thurs
day. Work is being pushed on the
great iron ship-building yard at
Newport News, which will be the
first enterprise Of that kind this side
the Potomac and which will doubt
less be followed by Others still far
Their South, while negotiations are
said 10 be pending for building an
other furnace at Lynchburg. A
l00-ton coke furnace will be put up
at Bluffton, Ala, and there are ru-
mors ofseveral others at Leeds, Birm-
ingham and elsewhere. Rome, Ga, is
to have a rolling mill and cotton-tie
factory. In Laurel county, KY. TO-
900 acres Of coal land have been
purchased for 100000, ard two
S25 900 mining plants have been put
in. New England capitalists are
making heavy investments at Font
Worth, and will build a cotton mill
Of about $1,000 spindles; a company
has been organized with a capital
stock Of 100000 to construct a
deep water harbor at Corpus Christi,
exas. Camden, s. G., is to have a
cotton mill TO cost 100000; Mem,
phis 100000 furniture factory;

Dur Farmers.

The Trtbane's statement yesterday
that protection has been a sort Of
blessing in disguise to our farmers
will excite public sympathy on ac-
count Of its extreme and really pitia.
bic weakness
They realize" remarks our ncigh-
bor, "that the protective system, by
building up other industries, has
enormously enlarged the demand for
agricultural products"
So the farmers are to be satisfied
with picking up the crumbs from the
monopolists' table, are they? The
government encourages every indus
try except that Of agriculture, and
then tells the farmers that he ought
to be proud of the general prosperity,
because when people have lots OF
money they always want lots Of pota-
toes and turnips Perhaps the far
mer will be very grateful to come in
at the tail end of the procession and
be allowed to swallow the dust of
those who are ahead OF him.
Are the products of his farm pro-
tected? Well, ask him, and note his
reply. He must sell his wares as best
he c&n. but when he can, but when he
comes to buy he is pounded and
hounded and hunted by a tariff on
everything he needs
Does he want a new barn? There
is II tariff on lumber, Does be want
to shingle the old woodshed? There
is a tariff on every nail and another
tariff on his hammer. The iron
manufacturer is protected, and the
farmer pays tribute to him every time
he buys a hoe or plough. The lum.
Der king takes a few dollars from
him. The coal baron follows suit,
The glass trust taxes him for every
window pane, and even when his
child is sick and the doctor prescribes
dose Of castor oil he finds duty OF
over one hundred per cent on the
medicine
The only consolation he has comes
from the mortgage he has been forced
to put on his land and home. Slen,
der consolation, that, but it is his
share OF this beneficent protective sys
tenn, and it's about all he gets, too
That mortgage has way of increasing 9
itself, and the interest must be
promptly paid or the farmer will run
across a foreclosure and become ten
ant instead Of an owner.
That is the way the present system
works, and we venture to say that il
is a very bad shaving Our farmer,
can't afford TO be fooled much longer
By the fallacies OF protection or they
win have nothing lefty. Y. Herald
