TALK ON THE TARIFF.

New York Press,
The Augusta Chronicle, which is do
ing valuable work for protection in
Georgia and South Carolina, calls atten-
tion to the fact that of the S2I3.509,-
S0I.57 of duties collected on goods i'm
ported into the United States during
1888. $60000,000, or within Sl1 100000
of one third of the whole amount col
Iected, was exclusively for the benefit of
Southern farm products, such as tObac
co, sugar, mOlasSes and rice.
And this, of course, does not include
the South's great and increasing interest
in protected industries that it has in
common with the North. BrdClstreet'S
estimates the pig iron production of
Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia at
756,SO2 tons, and that of Virginia, West
Virginia and Maryland at 3I0,232 tons.
Total Southern annual production, l.
067, ,036 tons, while Pennsylvania her
self produced 3.5S9.1S6 tons last year.
The South cannot afford to let itself up
hold the enemies of protection any
longer.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 3.

ACCORDING TO the laws of Ohio, no dis
tinction can be- made in the free schools OF
that State on account of race, and negro
children there must be allowed to attend
the same free schools that are attended oy
the children of their white neighbors. But
what are human, against natural laws
There is hardly town in Ohio, the White
people of which do oppose, and often with
violence, the attempted enforcement OF the
law referred TO, and when suits are brought
against them for so doing, the juries inVsr-
iably render verdicts for only nominal dam-
ages. Last week the disturbance OCCASION
ed By an attempt to enforce the obnoxious
law in the town of New Richmond
reached riotous degree, the result
being the closing of the free schools there
for the remainder of the school season.
Northern people think 1t all right that
there should be race equality in the South,
but they want, and will have, none OF it
themselves.

A well known ex-democratic editor, Vir-
ginian, and thoroughly conversaDt with the
politicians and the politics of his State,
though now resident in this city, says he
does not believe the republicans will run g
State ticket 10 Virginia at next fsl's cleo
ton. He says he believes the admipistrs
ton will not recognize General Malone, in
which case the General would be an altered
man if he were to take the trouble and go
to the expense of conducting campaign,
and that unless he should do SO, there would
be no body else to do it but if there were,
the campaign would be disaster from its
commencement. He says the General is tbs
vertahle old man of the sea to the Virginia
republicans that they took him for good
and evil, and they must abide the latter.

THE RECENT democratic victories and in
creased democratic vote in the North and
West only add to the irrefragable proof
that had been adduced before, fthe fact that
the cause OF the national democratic defeat
last fall was lack, not of democrats, but OF
the enthusiasm requisite to make democrats
vote. How could democrats be expected to
put themselves TO any trouble or expense to
elect man whom the national democratic
committee had to ask, only short time be-
fore election dag, if he was with or against
them?
