The reason why Seth Low, cx-Mayor

his party has at last been told author
itatively over his own signature: in

lican club, of which he is MEM
Der. Seven others withdrew with
him. al believe in protection
for the country says the ex-AIayor,
"as means to an end. ] glory
in the results achieved under It in the
last twenty-five years, but to my mind
the signs are many that In not few
directions the protection here has done
its perfect work and is now doing
harm. Therefore ! believe in a revi-
sion of the tariff upon principles di-
rcctly opposed to the Chicago plat
form. | had hoped the Republican
party would itself undertake TO re-
model the tariff upon lines that would
gradually transfer the industries OF
the country from an artificial to a ra.
tional basis. believe that such a
course is demanded by the true inter
ests of labor. The policy actually
outlined seems to me full of danger to
the country. The higher and the
tighter the dam is made, the greater
will be the destruction when the flood
breaks through, and | cannot believe
that a country SO large as the United
States can be permanently held alooi
from the great trade movements of the
outside world.'

What Il Has Accomplished.

The following is extracted from a
letter discussing the condition of the
fensas Basin; published in a Lake
Providence paper:
"a / have just been up ON the line of
the Mississippi Valley Railroad buying
some lands on speculation, and have
seen one or two instances where $50
aud Soc per acre cash was refused. /
know of other instances where land
has been leased for five and six years
for $40 per acre per mnum for the
cleared land, and the lesse embraced a
clause binding the party to clear, fence
and ditch as much more cleared land
during the five years, and these were
not small places, Amy of this land
could have been bought four or five
years ago for two, three or four dol
lars per acre on long time payments.
All this comes from confidence in our
levees. heard a few days ago from a
man who ought TO know, that there
was not an acre in our Mississippi
river counties that was not paving
taxes. Confidence in our levee system
is thoroughly established; and the
country is full of peopleatrom Tennes-

standing back for high prices but they

you can invite immigration with the
hope of successful results without II
cotton tax similar to ours of the Mis-
sissippi side of the river. With big,
strong levees, and thorough system,
we are paying SLIGO per bale on cot
ton. We paid 80 per bale until our
levees were secure. We have few 10
per cent. bonds which can't be bought
at any price. We have some per
cent. bonds out that are worth Sl05 to

A CLOSE STATE.
T'rimes Democrat.l

The action of the Democrats and
Grecnbackers in Michigan viii make
that State unpleasantly close for the
Republicans. The Democrats alone
have no show whatever there, but some
eight years ago adopted the plan of
Uniting with the Greenbackers, who
have always been numerous in the
Pcninsular State. They thus succeed
ed in capturing the Governorship and
came very near getting the electoral
vote of Michigan four years ago, for
the fusion ticket. composed of an
equal number of Democrats and Green
hackers, were only 5000 votes behind
the Republicans. This fusion has been
again arranged and the two parties
will cooperate in the present campaign
in an attack on the Republican ranks.
