have spoken well, and with greater Or less

In our judgment the results show, as hss
been pertinentiy remarked by almost all the
democratic aud republican papers, that the
tariff is not dead issue. IL has not been q
desd issue for forty yesrs. Il has more
thsn once been crowded into the background
fo- awhile, but like all questions that involve
n principle Of justice aud equity as between
different classes Of people in the same coun-
try, il will again and again rise up to plague
the government until it is settled right.
The democratic party must return to its
doctrine Of tariff for revenue only, or MS

Nov. l2.-Thc Mason Cotton Harvester,
which hal heen anxiously lookel for here
for several days, arrived to-day and was
exhibited in operation in u field of cotton in
the Exposition grounds this afternoon, in
the presence of a large crowd of interested
spectators.
The machine gathered Mt the rate Of 800
pounds nu hour, or 5000 pounds for an
ordinary working day. The bushes have
been killed by frost AMI the cotton has been
open in the bolls about two months, but
despite these drawbacks the cotton which
was picked was giuned without being passed
through cleaner, and produced good
clean sampo.
Mr.. Patrick Walsh, the President of the
Exposition and the editor Of the Augusta
Chronicle, was present during the trial of
the machine aud said: 81 consider 1t a
most wonderful machine. 1t picks the cot
ton under most adverse circumstances with
out injurins the plants and unripe bolls
and it gathers enough to make it an imple-
ment of great value

Almost OF hell, these saved their land,l
That, ere the world century swimsl
Through time, this poor blue-coated host,
With brevet rank of shattered limbs,
VIII swell to fame In choral hymns,
And be Of pride the proudest boast.
Honor for heroes we implore-
The brave, who limbs and vigor gave
That-North and South. from shore to shore,
One free, rich, boundless country Ger
The flag of Washington might wave;
The flag that first-the day recall
Long years ago, one summer more,
Flashed up DER independence Hall,

That new nation here was born.
oh, wives and daughters Of the land,
To every gentler impulse true,
To you we raise the invoking hand;
Take pity on our stricken band,
These demigods disguised in blue,
More sweet than coo Of pairing birds
Your voice when urging gentle deeds
And power and beauty clothe her words
A west wind through the hearts thrilled chords
When woman's voice for pity pleads.
To you Ileave the soldiers doom
Your glistening eyes assure me right;
Oh think, through many night of gloom;
When round you all was light and bloom,
And hepreparing for the fight.
The soldier bade his fancy roam
Far from the foes battalions proud
From camps. and hot stesds' charging foam,
And fondly on your breast at home
The forehead of his spirit bowed.
Oh, by the leglons of the dead,
Whose ears even yet our love may reach
Whose souls, in fight or prison fed,
Now swarm in column overhead.
Winging with fire my faltering speech
From stricken fields and ocean caves
|. / hear their voice and cry instead:
"Gazing upon our myriad graves,
Be generous to the crippled braves -
Who were the comrades of the dead"
Our cause was holy to the height
OF holiest cause to manhood given;
For peace and liberty to smiIe,
And while the warm blood bounded bright,
For these to die, If called by heaven.
The dead are cared for: in the clay
The grinning skull no laurel seeks;
But for the survivors of the fight,
1t IS through my weak lips tonight
The voice OF the Grand Army speaks.

Why tell how long the contest hung,
Now crowned with hope, and now depressed,
And now the varying balance swung,
Until, like gold In furnace flung,
The truth grew stronger for the test?
Twas our own blood we had to meet;
Twas Ewith full peers our swords were
crossed,
Till In tho march, assault, retreat,
And in the school Of stern defeat,
We learned success at bloody cost
oh, comrades Of the camp and deck.
All that is lett by pltyIing Fate
Of those who bore through fire and wreck,
With snewy arm and stubborn neck,
That flag whose folds you consecrate-
Oh, men, whose names forever bright
On history's golden tablet graved-
By land, by sea, who waged the fight.
What guerdon will you ask tonight
For service done, for rperils braved?
The charging lines no more we see,
No more we hear the din of strife,
Nor under every greenwood tree,
Stretched in their lies great agony,
Are thoss who wait the surgeons knife;
No more the bloodied stretchers drip,
The jolting ambufauces groan;
No more, while all the senses slip,
We hear from the soon silent lpi
The prayer for death rs balm alone.
And ye, who on the seas blue breast.
And down the rivers of the land.
With clouds OF thunder as a crest,
Where still your conpiering prows were
pressed,
Wars lightnings welded in your hand.
Ye too. released, no longer feel
The threat Of battle, storm and rock
Torpedoes grating on the keel,
While the strained hulls with broadsides reel.
And turrets feel the indenting shock.
Joint saviors Of the land, to-day.
What guerdon ask you of the land?
No boon too great for you to pray
What can it give that would repay
The men we miss from our worn band?
Tho men who lie In trench and swamp,
The dead who rock beneath the wave
The brother-souls Of march and camp
Bright spirits each shining lamp,
Teaching how nobly died the brave.
And thou, Great Shade! in whom was nursed
The germ and grandeur of our land
In peace, in war, in reverence first,
Who taught our infancy to burst
Who taught our infancy to burs1
The Tightening yoke of Britain's hand
Thou. too. from thy celestial height
| Will join the prayer we make to-day,
Honor for those who fought the fight
And what of life is left made bright
BY all that gratitude can pay"
