ts NINE TANED AND UNTAXED.
From New York Herald


lne Medical Record says that in 1873
When there was a twenty per cent. ad
tlorem duty on Quinine, 196, 4.5 ounces
We're Imported into the United States. for
which the price was about 81 SO per ounce,
nd last year we imported nearly five
million ounces, for which we paid foreign
manufacturers only about Seventy-three
cents per ounce. These figures are ex-
tremei! suggestive. The Sanitarian says:
For the five years, 1874 '7S, under the
"A v'.lorem duty of twenty per cent.
the importationS of sulphate of ouir;.ie
mounted to 1875, 40 ounces-an average
of 3O,295 ounces yearly-and the average
pres was S2.S3 per ounce. The year
after qulnlnc was put on the free list we
imported 22S, 34S ounces.

HENRY CLAY ON THE TARIFF,

The Nashville Democrat Of a recent
date contains an extract from a letter of
Henry Clay, written ia September, 1s43
1t was addressed to 5. F. Bronson, of
Georgia, and gives, in brief Mr. Clay's
views on the tariff The extract is as
follows: The sum and substance of
what | conceive to be the true policy of
the nlted States, IL respect to q tariff
may be briefly stated IL Onformity with
the principle announced in the compro-
mise ;ct, ! think that whatever revenue
Is necessary 10 an economical and honest
administration of the general government
ought to be derived from the duties i'm
posed on foreign imports, and discrimina-
nation ought to be made As viii incidental
iy afford reasonable protection to our
national interests. think there is no
danger Of high tariff being ever estab-
llshed that Of 1928 was eminently de
serving that denomination. | was not in
Congress when it passed and ali not vote
for II: but with its history, and with the
circumstances which gave birth to it,
am well acquainted. They We're highly
dlScrefltable to American legislation. and
| hope, for its honor, will never be again
repeated After my return to Congress
in 1881, my efforts We're directed to the
modification aud reduction Of the rates of
duty contained in the act Of 1925 The
act of 1892 greatly reduced and mod fed
them; and the act of 1898, commonly
called the compromise act, still furth-
er reduced and modified them. The act
which passed at the extra session of 1S41
which l supported was confine, TO the
free articles. l had resigned my seat in
the Senate when the act OF 1912 was
passed. Generally the duties Which it
imposes are lower than those in the act Of
1892 And without intending to express
any opinion upon every item Of this last
tariff, l would say that think the pro
visions, in the main, are wise and proper.
If there be any eXcesses or defects IN it (of
which | have not the means here Of judg-
ing), they ought to be corrected. My
opinion, that there is no danger hereafter
of q high tariff, is founded on the gratify-
ing fact that our manufactures have now
taken deep root. In their infancy they
needed a greater measure Of protection
but as they grow and advance they ac-
quire less protection. Even now some
branches of theirs are able to maintain in
distant markets successful competition
with rival foreign manufactures >

DEAR SIR:-s'Helrs broke loose in Ba-
kersville," instead Of in Georgia
! drove in here yesterday evening be-
tween four and five O'Clock, and the Dem
ocrats were hosting the American Flag
with a banner attached, bearing the in
scription, Grover Cleveland for Presi-
dent and "Fowle for Governor" While
they were at work the Republicans We're
muttering among themselves like distant
thunder before storm, bnt did not try
to prevent the hosting of the flag. | met
with Mr.. J. E. Burleson, about this time
when the Republican crowd was increased
by party of few men on horseback,
who when they saw Cleveland's name a
long side the stars and stripes, became
madly enraged, and swore they would cut
the flag down or die in their tracks, and
then commenced such a scene of riot,
biaSpheny and confusion as Deggars' de-
scripriOn. some We're hunting axes, and
one lnal more enthusiastic tor more drunk
that the rest attempted TO climb the flag
pole, but could not quite make it. Ia the
mean time the Democrats who holsted the
flag were perfectly cool and quiet, and
each one wore Il determined look that
BODIED i'll to the one that struck the first
blow with an axe, but the Republicans
did not find an axe. About this time |
heard pistol shot, and then | moved
myself to the hotel and watched tie fray
from safe distance
The Republicans through fear or some
other cause did not take down the flag,
but shortly after nightfall they riddled
the ''Stars and ''Stripes," the 'Great
American Flag with pistol bullets. There
must have been at least 100 shots fired,
but fortunately no one was hurt. In their
mad rage they were more uncomfortable
than beast, but in justice to some of the
parties must say that few sober Repub-
lcans tried to stop the occurrence, but
failed.
| understand this morning that they
say they will certainly take the flag down
tomorrow AMI if they do there will be one
funeral if not more in this mountain town,
for there are some resolute Democrats
who will not see it done.

Mr.. g. NJ Fairchild of the firm of Schotf,
Fairchild " Co., 81 WOrth-street, which
represents some of the largest manufac-
t,lrers of wooden in the country, is strongly

Cleveland, as are the other members of

manufacturer produces class of goods

the subject.
Mr.. Farchild said yesterday: ''We have
been severely criticised for the position
We have taken on the tariff question by
some Of our colleagues, but we believe we
are right and that the issue will IN the
end amply Justify our stand. Our trade
has been very seriously affected during
tn last five years by the unequal competl-
ton to which we have been subjected by
foreign goods While the American man

large import duty on raw wool the foreign
manufacturer has had his raw material

thdlelgh SlUnal, IIepuDllciiH bTSdn.I
The recent meeting Of the Farmers al
lance in this city is reported to have de-
elared for railroad commiss ion for this
State. We have uniformly opposed the
effort to create Il commission of this kind
and shall continue to do so The only
effect that the Inter State Commerce bill
has had upon the country has been to in
crease freight rates and benefit the rail
roads. We hear no complaints against
the railroad corporations of this State.
So far as we know they are doing all they
can to accommodate the people There
are too many offices now and the people
do not want three railroad commissioners
to cost them seven thousand five hundred
dollars in order to make this many places
for three meu who cannot otherwise make
a decent living. The Republican members
of past Legislatures have been nearly solid
against the railroad commission project
ana they may be relied upon to oppose it
again in the next Legislature.
