. -
Hon. i. p. Connor, Connor's, S.
g.: My DEAR S1R-While agree
with you that my candidacy has
nothing to do with national issues,
| chccrfully answer your questions
about my being sProtcctionist,"
which charge is being made against
nc in many quarters.
My position on the tariff is sim
The United States government
must have money to dcfray it's ex-
pcnses, and with n constantly in
creasing pension roll there is ikeli-
hood of those expenses being in
creased in future rather than dimin-
ished. We cannot boar direct
tax, therefore ssfree trade is barren
ideality," as have said before, and
the bulk of the revenue must come
from duties on imports.
/ hold that these should be laid on
luxuries as far as practicable, and
that the necessarics Of life and those
articles consumed by the masses
should be burdcned rs lightly. as
possible. ] would not make tho duty
so light rs to destroy the chances Of
the American manufacturer to COM
pete against his foreign rival, and
certainly would not make it heavy
enough to give monopoly to home
made goods. Everything which is
made by trust or monopoly, like
jute bagging, should be put on the
free list, Congress thus serving no.
ticc on all combinations of capital
that any attempt to rob the people
by means of a trust would be met
by the competition of the world in
open market. This is simpler and
easier than any attempt to control
or punish trusts. 1t is farcical
for Congress to create trusts and
monopolics by means of the tariff,
and thus throw dust in the eyes of
the people by pretending to try to
control and prevent them by statute.
Boiled down my ideas on the ta-
riff mean:
A tariff for revenue with incidental
protection so graduated and levied as
to admit the ncccssaries of life free
of duty as far as practicable and
prevent trusts or monopolics of any
kind. There will be enough protec-
tion for me under any schedule that
can be devised which will raise the
necessary revenue. But there will
have to be a national Farmers
Movement bctoro we will see any
thing approximating this. The AL
lance promises to become such an
agency. God grant that it's member
ship shall increase, and their minds
be enlightened; that we hold stead
fast TO the faith and move steadily
forward till we see the national
government run in way to give
equal rights to all and special privi-
'fAte,ges ft,ges to none; when tho masses
shafNno longer be enslaved for the
benefit OF corporations, banks and
manufacturers
am Very truly yours,
ns, B.R. TILLMAN.

A MournfuI Scene.

1t is seldom that our community have
had to witness such scenes Of sorrow as
those that have fallen on the family Of
Mr.. Daniel Lyons. Last Friday his
youngest child died of diphtheria, and
was taken by its father almost alone to
the Catholic cemetery and deposited in
its little grave, Rev. Bishop Olba ofici-
ating. Then death took the Oldest
daughter Lizzie, sprightly healthy girl
of ten or twelve years, who died on
Tuesday. Her body was taken in the
same way, attended only by its father,
the priest and the undertaken and laid
by her little sister. Wednesday at 9 a.
m. the mother died also, and at 2 O'Clock
her remains were taken to the cemetery
attended by her husband, the priest and
the undertaken, and laid beside those OF
her two children-all three the victims
of that relentless disease, diphtheria,
hitherto almost unknown here. AT the
grave few friends brought several bou-
quets to lay on the graves,-the last, the
only mementoes that were permitted to
be bestowed on the dear woman and
mother, whose dying bed had been for
hidden to them, on account Of the con-
tagiousness of the disease of which she
and her two girls died. The residence
occupied by the stricken family has
been tabued for several days, by order
of the Board of Health; but kind friends
have supplied the food and nourishment
needed by the invalids, although pre-
vented from attending them personally.
