TOO MUCH GUsH

When the great editors Of the cOun-
ny get through with their paroxysms
over the brutal and appalling, aud all
the rest Of II, features Of the Kemmler
execution, perhaps they will take a few
moments on and, while the wind blows
through their matted hair, consider the
case again. It seems clear. from all the
expert testimony and opinion 10 the
ITtHises, that kemmleT's death vas In
stanlaLe0us and painless. The autopsy
Showed that much in Al least one way

account only confirms the theory Of

nothing, for We know that Kemmlef

A PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
Its Cause. Its object. aud Its Eject
Plainly stated.

Its cause. Its object, aud Its Eject
Plainly stated.
Editor critic: Its cause can be found
in the fact that nearly all articles can be
produced and manufactured 10 foreign
countries, sent here, aud, u free Of duty,
be sold at lower price than the same
articles can be produced aud manufac.
tured IN this country
It's object Is, by placing a high i'm.
port duty on foreign productions and
manufactures, TO so Increase to the con.
sumer the price Of these productions
and manufactures that they cannot be
sold for less than is demanded for the
same articles by the domestic producer
and manufacturer, and thus protect the
latter from foreign competition and In
Cidentally to encourage the Industries
so protected.
lis principal effect is found Ia the
means used to attain its obiect-it 60.
CreasCs 10 the consumer the price Of
every such article beyond what he
would Otherwise have TO pay for Il %
The extent Of the import duty.
Who are benefited by a protective
tariff Not the consumers, Tor their
expenses are increased by g. Not the
middle men, between the importer aud
manufacturer aud the consumer, for
the Government receives from the i'm
porter the duty increasing the price,
and the manufacturer receives for his
goods the increased price. The con.
sumers are in an overwhelming ma
iority over the producers and manu-.
facturefs the latter are few and In
classes
The enactment Of a protective tariff
Is, therefore, purely class legislation
and does not confer the greatest good
on the greatest number. 5. III.

FIRST FRUITS.

chances are, however. that they are not

no use 10 them
In that view Of the matter We call
their attention TO the results in North
Alabama. notably in jefferson aud
jackson counties A special telegram
10 The New York Times from Birming

hardly voted at all there on Monday

20 I eco. OF course, the Reeds and
LcdgCs and Davepports will meet this
by declaring that the Democrats got out
their shot. guns again and prevented the
negroes from voiing--such being their
only theory Of Southern elections but
any Alabama Republican will tell them
that that explanation does not fit the
case. Both jefferson and Jackson are
white counties. A large part OF the
wealth and influence Of Birmingham is
in Republican keeping and there
is absolutely no public sentiment
there even II the material
existed to sustain intimidation and sup.
preston Of the Republican vote The
same cause operated In both counties,
ard lhstwas condemnation Of the Force
bill. There are practically no negroes
in Jackson County. With the exccp.

H. mocratic.
The same feeling animated the Re.
rublicans Of the two counties, with a
difference In It's manifestation Ia
Birmingham they dld not vote at ALL
In Jackson County they voted the
Democratic ticket
We have neither hope nor expccta-
tioB that these or any other facts will

Worth a Thought

1t is safe to assert that
there isn't a day passes but
hundreds OF dollars, to say
the least, are expended in
this city for furniture and
house decorations. If not
expended judiciously, then
poorly spent, and if not
disbursed in the light of all
possible economy then not
expended judiciously. The
papers contain daily coun-
sci of the best prudence,
and this house is among the
rest In saving suggestions"
But it takes much and fire.
quent argument to influence
some minds and often the
most iorcible kind of logic.
Yet sometimes a gentle hint
will kindle productive re-
Election, and that is the hint
we here aim to impaTt.
Worth a thought? Yes,
It is worth a long, large
thought that whether you
are buying strictly season
able goods, such as Baby
Carriages, Refrigerators,
Water Coolers, Bed Cano-
pies, Lace Curtains, Gauze
Hangings, &C., or whether
you would be induced to
invest in Furniture, Car

on, byoglaea there were
ample considerations OF
prices. We wish to stamp
indelibly upon your mind
the fact that as ample as is

All this means that we
are selling goods very cheap.
