When ANYBODY rushes into billingsgate in dis
cussion the presumption is that he is trying TO
make falsehood pass for fact. The i RIBCNf nav
ing stated that Democratic tariffs have invariably
produced trade balance against this country,
an increase of imports and resulting exports OF
gold The Albany Argus" says: THE IRIBUNES
first two statements thus unequlvocal les"
Let the official records determine whether there
is falehOod and where. In the history OF the
country there have been only two tariffs adopted
with intent to get rid Of protection, the " conf
promise tariff" of March g. 1888, and the Demo-
cratic revenue tariff of July 80, 1916. The
official returns of the Treasury Department show
that imports of mel .handise exceeded exports OF
merchandise in the eight years o3il o4l inclusive
by sl2O234, 052. Then the protective tariff OF
1872 was enacted. The official returns also show
that imports Of merchandise exceeded exports
of merchandise in the fifteen years SAILS SCI
inclusive by S43l, 655,tl1, and before the last OF
those years was quite finished protective tariff
was enacted. In the first period gold exports were
reached in 1882 when the gradual reduction OF
duties had got down toward the Democratic level.
In the second period gold exports began IN lo4S'
and continued in every year except two OF the
fifteen, reaching S57.096,I04 in 1860. strict
truth would thus justify applying the language
used by THE Argus to itself, were 1t not Tor
the fact that in Its ridiculous Ignorance The
Argus appears to have mistaken exports OF gold.
silver and merchandise for exports of merchandise.
In deep sorrow for tho pitiable incapacty OF The

The allegation which has BEEN made moro
than once that the opposition to Mr.. Lamars
confirmation came only from Republican poll
ticians. IL effectually shown to be false by the
notion Of tho Republican Club Of the City Of
New-York. The protest Of this earnest body of
Republicans. who take part in politics from the
highest motives. ought to be felt In Washing
ton. and other Republican organizations would
do we'll to speak out as emphatically. The
resolutions adopted by the club last night de-
clare Mr.. Lamars unftness for place on the
Supreme bench because he is not in sympathy
with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments to the Constitution. and because bis
political course since the war has proved his
unfitness to construe these amendments and
the laws that derive their authority thercfrom.
These are sufficient reasons. but the club might
yell have called attention also 70 Dir. LsnaaTs

Mr.. Carlisle is having no end of trouble in
making up his committees. and, according to
our Washington dispatches, he is not likely to
have the list completed when Congress resumes
its work to-day. There are 50 many conflict
ing claims and so many Confederate Brigadiers
who want fat places that it is almost super
human task to satisfy everybody. The COM
position of the Ways and Means Committee is
pretty we'll fixed The names given in our
dispatches few days ago are in all probability
the correct ones, with the exception that MIR.
Burrows, of Michigan. has been substituted for
Mr. Ryan, of Kansas.

Mr.. Z. j. Clark publishes card
in this issue 10 which he signs him
self as chairman Of the republican
executive committee and says that
Polk Edwards, col'd, is not the sec
rotary. Last year the white repub-
licans tried to kick all the colored
ones out. They don't like to serve
alongside of or under negro and
they must either rule or ruin.
Polk Edwards now says that Mr..
Clark is not even a member of the
executive committee and he exhib-
it's to US, and we have now before
us, the original minutes of the re-
publican convention held May %,
1886, and it has list of 81 names
of persons elected to serve on the
executive committee; P. ]. Clark's
name is not there, but Polk Ed
wards name is there as secretary,
regularly elected. 1t seems from
this record Of the minutes that Mr..
P. j. Clark is usurping a chairman
ship of a committee TO which he
docs not even belong and that he is
trying to kick out the regular Sec
rotary who was elected by the con-
gention.
The white republicans. are bound
to rule the negroes. They call
them "d-n niggers" when they are
talking to democrats. Are the col
ored brothers going to be kicked
and cuffed about this way? Are
they going to sit by and see one of
their men whom they have elected
secretary kicked out of his place
because he is colored man2
If the colored men permit the
white republicans to smack them
arounp this way they had as well
quit voting and let the country 60
to the demnitionss democrats.

looking splendidly.
Miss Ada Maultsby of Good

prospecting for a school.
E. T. Norwood opened an eight
months school at Mt. Carmel last
Monday.
J. D. Vaughan's school at Poplar
Springs is good. Average number

be increased, our houses made com
Portable and then in communities
which are not able to support sub
scription schools we should have at
least five months winter school.
In my opinion one school taught in
the winter is worth two of equal
length in the summer. Especially
in the poorer localities where the
parents need their children not on
ly in making the crop but in gath
ering it. Ii our school-tax was in
creased SO we could have a five
months free school taught in I'll e
winter the thousands of children
whose parents are TOO poor to send
them to Z boarding school could re
ceiye a liberal education at home.
But it is obvious that this cannot be
done unless an effort is made in the
right direction.
We have had several singings in
the neighborhood of late.
