ing the farmers and laborers who are
forced to buy his goods. The cotton
business ought to be very profitable
one.
The American farmer is obliged
to pay large part of this tax. and
he receives no benefit in return
The farmer sends his surplus corn
and wheat, etc., to England and is
obliged TO sell them in competition
with the whole world. With the
funds obtained from the sale Of such
products, he can not buy his cotton
goods in England, but must bring his
money back to this country, aud buy
of the American manufacturer, who
not only makes him pay the cost price
of such goods, but also forces him TO
pay large tax, tho limit of which
ranges from 30 to 80 per cent.
Such system cannot be a pro6ta-
bic one for the farmer, aud his busi-
ness speculations of growing wheat,
corn, and other farm products cannot
be a prosperous one. The farmer can
not be prosperous when he has to pay
a large amount of his earnings for the
purpose of making successful the bus
mess speculations Of other men whose
money has been invested in mines and
manufactures. 1t is good system
for those who receive the bonus, and
it enables them to become immensely
wealthy, to build magnificent palaces,
to journey luxuriously about the
world, and to live in splendor that ex-
cells the kings Of the old world.
If the farmer is to be equally pro-
tected, he should be loaned money by
the government, at a low rate of in
terest, in order to enable him to re-
move the oppressive mortgage now on
his farm, and he should receive bo-
nus on the products he raises OH the
farm. The farmer is as much entitled
to receive bonus to assist his specu-
lations in farming as is the man who
speculates in mines and manufactures.
To make the protection system fair
and just, every business should be
equally protected. If one business re-
ceives more bounty than others, the
difference has to be made up by as
sessing the amount on those who are
unprotected, or have less bounty than
the favored one. The farmers and
laborers have no protection.

Borck, an old engineer, who had been out
of work for about five months. He was
member of. Lincoln Lodge, Knights of
Honor, iq which bis life was insured for
$4,000. It tfahspited at the: inquest that
Borck had committed suicide in order that
his children might receive the $4,000 in

WAS accompanied by his brother. Ball
opened fire on Barham at sight with a

shots, bothof which passed through the
head of Ball, killing him Instantly. Bar.
ham and his brother made statements to

Legislative Panaceas.

Every little while the "crahks" Of all
descriptions, from Maine to Texas and
California appear to conspire to address
Congress, each on his own favorite hobby,
and the aggregate Is somewhat bewilder.
ing to people Of the ordinary kind. Just
now we are suffering from Q dslnEe Of
this kind. The Farmers Alliance of
Minnesota demands the abolition of the
Supreme Court of the United States, be:
cause some of its recent decibions do not
please the farmers. from several other
States tohe demands for Law prohibit
ing all foreclosures of mortgages by cred.
itors. While a band of wise men in Kan.
sas, who appear to SEQ some good In the
creditor and do not cafe really to ruin
him, ask for law providing that when
mortgage debts fall due, the value of the
property shall be ascertained by Federal
official, and the whole debt. SO far as
warranted by the value Of the property,
be advanced from the Federal treasury to
pay the debt, the debtor in the meantime
being allowed Twenty years to repay the
advance, which in the meantime shall
bear only one per cent..interest.
The foes of the Chinese have also
joined the army Of petitioners, and have
actually, within the last few days, secured
the passage of bill by. the House OF
Representatives which nominally pro.
vides for an enumeration of the Chinese
within our boundaries, and then goes on
to provide farther that all who are not 80
counted and do not receive official Ger.
ti6cates of the factashall be imprisoned
and expelled and excluded from the
country. The provisions of this bill con-
stitute gross breach of good faith undei
the terms of our present treaty, and the
protest offered by MI. Foster, counsel fol
the Chinese Legation, is based on famil.
lar principles of common sense and jus
tice. 1t is astonishing that such a bill
should have passed the House, and We
cannot believe that it. will ever pass the

A Mermaid at Last.

JACKSONVILLE, April .19.-W. w:
Stanton, mate of the schooner Addie
scbeaer, now lying at the Market House
dock, while fishing for bass three hundred
miles off St. Augustine, drew in his line
and found entang!ed therein the strangest
fish, if it is fish, that has ever been
caught. This strange creature is about
six feet long, pure white and scalelesa.
The head and face are wonderfully human
in shape and features. The shoulders are
we'll outlined, und very much resemble
those of woman, and the bosom is we'll
defined, and shows considerable develop
ment, while the hips and abdomen con-
tinue the human appearance. There are
four fippers, two of which are placed at
the lower termination of the body, and
give one the impression that nature made
an effort to supply the strange creature
with lower limbs. Mr.. Stanton confe5sea
to quite fright on first sight of his queer
prize, which, on being drawn on board,
gave utterance to a low, moaning cry,
which might easily have been mistaken
for the sobbing of baby.
It is extremely unfortunate that Mr..
Stanton did not succeed in keeping the
creature alive, which he thought might
have been done, as the strange object
lived two days after being taken. The
schooner has been thronged all day by
curious visitors, who express much won
der and establishment at the strange OBJ
ject. Mr.. Stanton, after visiting several
ports and showing his queer creature,
will donate it to the Smithsonian Institu.

A Card from Capt. Tillman.

To THE PUBLIC: Invitations to speak
are beginning to come to me. I desire to
say that all such, letters should be. .ad.
dressed to Capt. q. W. Shell, Laurens, S.
G., chairman of the campaign commit.
tee.
The reasons are obvious. To canvass
the State thoroughly will require much
travel, and cannot we'll be done under
three months, and to save both expense
and labor, there must be some systematic
arrangements.
Captain Shell can also judge where and
when my services are most needed, and
arrange accordingly. If the Democratic
Committee would not call the State Con.
vention till September, the canvass could
be deferred till the crop is almost laid by,
and T would prefer not to precipitate a
heated political campaign when all are SO
busy. But I am ready to open the ball
whenever it suits the people, and the
campaign committee think best.
Respectfully,

- In the north the habit of chewing
tobacco is dying out. This is no gain, as
it is said that the cigarette habit is taking
its place. During the past ten years the
sale of chewing tobacco has fallen of fif.
ty per cent, while the sale of cigarettes is
constantly on the increase. So much has
been said against tobacco chewers that
the youngsters of the present generation
have turned to cigarettes. Occasionally
the evil effects of cigarettes are shown up
in the newspapers, but when anything is
cheap and popular it is hard to put it
down.
