An Important Figure in Backwoods So.
ssE ciety.
He won neigh borhood reputation as
clever young man, which he increased
by his performances as a speaker, not
seldom drawing upon himself the dis
satisfaction of his employers by mount
ing a stump in the field, and keeping
the farm hands from their work by lit
tie species in a jocose and sometimes
also serious vc:n. At the rude social
T frolics of the settlement he became an
important person, telling funny stories,
mimicking the itinerant preachers who
had happened to pass by. and making his
mark at wrestling matches, too; for at
the age of seventeen he had attained his
full. height, six feet, four inches in his
stockings, if he. had any, and a terribly
muscular clodhopper he was. But ne
was known never to use his extraordi-
nary strength to the injury and hnmili-
alton of others; rather to do them d
kindly turn, or to enforce justice and
fair dealing between them. All this
made him favorite in backwoods so.
ciety, although in some things he ap-
peared a little odd to his friends. Far
more than any of them, he was given
not only to reading, but to fits of ab.
straction, to quiet musing with himself,
and also to strange spells of melan.
choly, from which he often would
pass in a moment to rolliching
outbursts of droll humor. But.
on the whole, he was one of
the people among whom he lived;
in appearance perhaps even a little
more uncouth than most of them-a
very tall, rawboned youth, with large
features, dark, shiveled skin, and re-
bellious hair; his arms and legs long,
out OF proportion; clad in deerskin
trousers. which, from frequent exposure
to the rain, had shrunk so as to sit
tightly on his limbs, leaving severa!
inches of blush shin exposed between
their lower end and the heavy, tan-col-
ored shoes; the neither garment held
usually by only one suspender that was
strung over course, homemade shirt;
the head covered in winter with COON
skin cap, in summer with rough straw
hat OF uncertain shape. without band
It is doubtful whether he felt himself
much superior to his surroundings, al
though he confessed to yearning for
some knowledge of the world outside of
the circle in which he lived. This wish
was gratifed; but how? At the age of
nineteen he went down the Mississippi
to New Orleans as a fatboat hand,
temporarily joining trade many mem
bers of which at that time still took
pride in being called "half horse and
and half alligator" After his return
he worked and lived in the old way
until the spring of 1880, when his father

realization that this will be an early re-.

foreign monopolists and their confeder

Whether this curious power was the re-

TIN PLATES AND THE NEW TARIFF.

TIN PLATES AND THE NEW TARIFF.
No feature of the existing tariff law
seems to lacerate the feelings Of free
trade attorneys equally with that clause
looking to transfer Of some portion of
the tin-plate manuta cture to the United
States. Desperate as was their resist
ance while the bill was under discussion
in Congress, antagonism seems to inten-
sify with every additional assurance
: that the real intent of the trainers of the
bill is likely to be realized in the near
future.
"Reform" organs and orators refuse to
believe, or persist in denying, that tin
exists anywhere in this country in pay
ing quantities, in face of the fact that
American pig tin has already found it's
way into the market. But even if it
was true that native tin may not be
safely depended on for supplying the
wants of domestic manufacturers, such
fact cannot be consistently employed as
argument in behalf of leaving to foreign
ers the exclusive manufacture of tin
plates, of which 100000 pounds are
consumed monthly, and for which Brit
ish monopolists duling the past year
pocketed more than $50, 1000 of American
money for each working day! These
men do not rely upon their own neigh
borhood for theirsupply of raw material
but draw upon the tin. mines of Malacca
and Tasmania for two-thirds of their
consumption. The Mckinley tariff i'm
poses no duty on pig tin, and the same
sources Of supply are open to our manu-
lecturers as to British tin-plate monopo-
lists.
Confronted with these facts, the free
trade attorney seizes upon his favorite
weapon of higher prices-the same with
which he has always stood ready to
sand-bag every legislative measure look
ing to building up at home of industries
in which foreigners have been securing
the lions share of profits. The new law
adds one dollar and quarter per hun
dred pounds to the former duty on tin
plates. Assuming that this is added to
the foreign cost, it will in nowise affect
the retail price of articles for which it is
used, unless interruptions dealers make
it pretextf for imposing upon customers.
All experience goes to prove that as
soon as domestic competition looms up
prices 60 down. Throughout the entire
list of tarift-protected industries there
cannot be found one exception to this
1ule, and it is the baldest recklessness
to predict different outcome in the
