Abraham Iincoln's first speech on the
tariff question was short and to the
point. lie said he did not pretend to be
learned in political economy, but he
thought that he knew enough to know
that "when an American paid twenty
dollars for steel to an English manu-
facturer America had the steel and Eng
land had the twenty dollars. But when
he paid twenty dollars for steel to an
American manufacturer, America had
both the steel and the twenty dollars. :
That was the sum and substance of the
tariff question as he viewed it.

Clifford; if he goes to the post fit and
we'll next Tuesday. he should win to a
certainty. But there were Ominous
rumors current this morning that he
had been seized with slight attack of
influenza. Henry of Navarro is per-
fectly conditioned. and the writer con-
siders him much safer investment
than DIR. Rice. who, though he has not
yet given any signs that his old trouble
of bleeding at the nose may recur, yet
Is not sound horse. Leonawelps work

Sir Walter has good promise. Ban

better Investment than Don AlonzO,
his stable mate. Comauche's age Is
against him. Nothing is expected of
Loantaka and Lowlaucer. Sport has a
rOusing good chance to win, but horse
afflicted with his temper and erratic
disposition is at best a very uncertain
factor.
The exercising today was made amidst
a heavy fog. Clifford did not exhibit
