ELI Sports with a Democratic Editor.

Eli Perkins went South to lecture q
short time ago. While in Nashville he
was interviewed by the Nashville
American, and related the following in
cident: "Well, the best political Joke
of the season happened at Charleston.
l found Mr.. Hemphill, the brilliant free
trade editor of the old free trade
News and Courier, writing editorials in
favor of a protective tariff on rice and
".Why,' said he, the Egyptians
shipped 10000 bales of long staple cot
ton over here last year and sold It for IL
cents a pound. They knocked down the
price of our South Carolina long staple
cotton. And those cheap-labor Chinese
sent thousands of bushels of rice, made
by low-priced 5 cents per day labor, to
break down our well-paid labor in
South Carolina. Now continued Mr..
Hemphiil, you Yankees have a tariff
against corn, wool, rye, barley and
wheat coming from Canada, and why
can't we Rebs have q tariff against the
Egyptians and Chinese 2"

To show how the protection leaven is
doing its perfect work in the South, the
following comment OF the Eli Perkins
interview, made by the Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle, a Democratic paper, will
make it very clear:
Had this story been told a year or SO ago

Eli enjoys for u~nacquaintance with the

affects the manufacture and price of
wire nails during the past eight or nine
years. There ia much in the brief his
tory OF that industry to interest the
general reader, and there should be-
enough in it to show q FREQ trader how
little profit and satisfaction there is in
mere suppositions.
There we're practically no wire nails
made in the United States prior to 1883.
They were an expensive nail, the price
was 8 cents, or u little ever, in that
year. When the tariff was revised
in 1883, a duty of 4 cents was
put on wire nails, or according to the
Herald, or the tree trade theory, or
'"supposition," this duty would have
kept the wire nail out OF this country.
the wire nail industry? When the
tariff Law of 1883 got in operation, wire
nail factories were established in the
United States, and within q few months
the price began to decline so that in
$3.50 they sold for % cents u
pound, and the home manufacture of
the nail was so stimulated by the pro-
tective duty that the product of that
year reached 3.155,9NO kegs. The Nc
kinley bill decreased tho duty to 9
cents a pound and the prices are now
below the duty!
But there Is another point in the his
tory of the nail industry which wrecks
the superstition of the Boston Herald.
The duty on wire nails not only did not
keep that article out of tho country,
but it lowered the price OF the cut
nails, making them cheaper and cheap
er every year, the process of decline
being illustrated by the following:

Many Modes Of Putting Down the Day OF
the Month.
"The Listener" writes i'm the Boston
Transcript: january B, 1884," is a
date which looks picturesque, distin.
guished and tin-dc-siecle on paper. 1t
reminds one that the world is getting
particularly old. 1t will be very in
tercsting to write down 1900" at the
top of ones letters, when the year
comes around; it would be still more
interesting to write 10000" there.
Few of us will ever do it, though il
science does it's duty and finds a way
to prolong Il civilized PERSONS life to
Il California Mission Indians, some of
us may hope to do it. The writing
of that date above reminds the Lis
tencr that there is a great diversity of
usagcs nowadays in the writing of a
date. Looking over a number of pri-
waite letters, the Listener has found
them dated in all the following ways:
i. December "a, 1890.
. December oath, 1890.
3. oath December, 1890.
4. "a Dec. 1890.
5. Dec. "a, 1890.

Z. 1890, "a, December.
8. II "a 80.

1t would be hard to say which is
the most approved of these methods.
1t is very much according to the taste
and fancy of the writer, like the
spelling of the honored patronymic
Weller. Perhaps the commonest
method is No. 5, while the most vul-
gar is No. s. 1t smacks of the retail
