Stone bridges are more durable and sub

the iron bridges are too light for the.now,
heavy locomotives We now employ. One
very important change we have been
making is that of steel rails. Heretofore
the 60.pound rail has been in use, but
we have been laying tho S5-pound rail,

worth from ten to twelve cents at retail.
Now tho article, and just us good, can be
bought at from five to six cents yard,
one.hali the price that it brought during
the low tariff period. So you see, Mr..
President, how the present high taria
is running the planters and farmers who
have to buy Calico. Prior to the war
all agricultural implements were worth
thirty 10 fifty per cent more than they
now command. For instance, IL was
worth thirty-fiye cents TO lay scooter
pillow at the blacksmith shop, and would
cost from City TO seyenty-aye cents to
purchase one. Now you-can purchase
one for twenty-five cent?. Everybody
knows this helps the farmer. And in
the face OF all this the Free Trader tells
the farmer that he is being ruined by
the tariff. How utterly absurd How
absolutely falsel Yet they say the
planting interest is being ruined by the
high tariff. Take the article OF bacon.
for instance, which Is purchased largely
by the farmers Of Georgia, and prior to
the war, during the low tariff period, it
was worth from ten TO twelve cents q
pound in tho market. Now it ranges
generally from six to eight, and it has
sold by the carload in the last three or
four years as low as four and a half.
..This is the way the tariff is running
the great masses OF the farmers in the
south, who bave TO buy their bacon and
other food supplies; aud l might extend
this list by enumerating article after arti-
Gle purchased by the farmer that is
worth third less, or one-half as much
now, in the market, rs it cost him prior
to the war. Now, the farmers who are
getting this reduction upon the price
formerly paid by them for necessary
articles, would never know they were
being ruined if they were not kindly re.
