your pleasure to accept the same at that
time. Very respectfully,
JoHN NJ. THAyER.

Charges are Made.


CLEVELAND, O., Feb. "a sensation

wealthiest vessel owners on the Great
Lakes, began suit for divorce against
his wife, Mrs. Laura A. Moore.
He is about 80 years old and

her with gross unfaithfulness at many
times and places, and cites number of
instances. 4 prominent livery-stable

William s. Mack, as being person.
al friend of his family, and that

THE Sou1b and protrcti,n

Some time ago the Charleston News

The Difference Between n >upposition
Fact.

Suppose that cut nails were made eNclu-
Sively here. and wire nails were only pro
duced abroad. Then. according to the
fashionable tariff ideas, the proper action
tatake would be to put heavy duty on
wire nails. thus keeping them out OF the
American market. that the American IN
dustry might be saved from destruction.
The essence Of protection. as at present in
terpreted. is 10 take business out of its
natural channels and compel it to be
carried on in channels prescribed by the
government Boston Herald.
How would it suit the Herald to take
a few facts in regard to the nail industry
of this country? 1t is not difficult to
interpret the history of the tariff as 1t
affects the manufacture and price of
wire nails during the past eight or nine
years. There Is much in the brief his
tory Of that industry 10 interest the
general reader, and there should he

They were an expensive nail, the price
was s cents, or little over, in that
year. When the tariff was revised
in 1883, duty of / cents was
put on wire nails, or according to the
Herald, or the free trade theory, or

Well, what is the history Of
the wire nail industry? When the

below the duty,
But there Is another point in the his
tory Of the nail industry which wrecks
the supposition of the Boston Herald.

These reductions VIII greatly reduce
the cost of provisions and food, and the
victory Of the United States is, there

no considerations for the poor have in

considered the wishes of the sugar mill

If David B. Hill would withdraw his

the recent speech of Senator Hale which
is calculated to interest him, /" inter

passage:
