\ Moderate Tariff.

The Philadelphia Enquirer sug-
gests a platform for the st. Louis
Convention, and has this to say
about the tariff plank: Protective
duties which will bring in an ample
revenue and enable all the mills to
start up. There should be nothing
radical. An extreme tariff will re-
duce The bill should be
moderate. but sufficient t serve all
interests, and to serve them alike"
This u%tterance, coming from a leading
Republican paper of the greatest in
dustrial State of the Union-a State
in which children are supposed to cry
for prohibitory taritfs-is significant.
1t shows hat the masses of the Re-
publican party everywhere are Oppos-
ed to any general and sweeping ad-
vance in duties.
What the enquirer says here is
crat' has often said. The people
want enough protection to put the
wheels of industry in motion again,
but they oppose allduties high enough
to help the trusts or high enough to
give any industry an advantage over
other industries. Interests which
need protection must be treated alike.
To treat them with exact equality is,
o f.course, impossible. The combined
genius of Alexander Hamilton, Henry
Clay, Robert J. Walker and Roger
Q. Mills could not devise a protective
or a revenue tariff which would bear
with the same weight on all the indus
tries touched, but a much nearer APP
proach to equality could readily be
attained than has been arrived at by
recent tariff trainers.
One trouble with the presenttariff is
that it gives too much protection to
some interests and not enough to 9TH
ers. Another trouble with it is that
it does not produce enough revenue.
Both are serious drawbacks. Most
of the country's evenu will have to
come from customs, and in the pres
ent condition of most of the older
industries duties which will furnish a
fair share of revenue will give cOnsid-
cradle protection. Probably the Re-
publicans could carry the country for
President this year if they repeated
the eXtravagant and absurd tariff dec
laratien of 1888, but they would lose
many of the close districts in the cleo
ton of Congressman. 1t would be
folly, however, to any such risk.
y moderate u~tterance is what the sit
uation demands, and this the platform
makers should keep firmly in mind.

Two Lives saved.

Mrs. Phoebe, Thomas. of Junction
City, Ill, was told by her doctors she
had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles DR..
Kings New Discovery completely
cured her and she says it saved her
life. Mr.. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida
St. San Francisco. suffered from a
dreadful cold, approaching Consump-
ton, tried without result everything
else then bought one bottle of DIR.
Kings New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally
thankful. 1t is such results, of which
these are samples, that prove the Won
derful efficacy of this medicine in
Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles

AOuaint Old American Map.

Among a lot of books just received
at the Peabody Library is an old map
of Maryland and Virginia which is
believed to date back to the seven
teenth century.
DR.. p. r. Uhler secured the map,
together with a number of histories of
English counties. heraldic books, and
other works, which recently arrived
from England.
The map has a description of Mary
land on one leaf of the back and a de-
scriptiou of Virginia on the other
leaf. 1t is bound with a few blank
pages to give it stability, and was
evidently part of a larger work de-
scribing the American colonies, as
the pages are numbered.
Baltimore town" is located be-
tween the ''Susquesahanough:' and
Bush Rivers. No especial men,
ten is made of it in the description of
the colony, in which ''St. Maries fig
ures as the chief place. The descrip-
ton speaks of the colony as divided
intoten districts orcounties-fiveon the
Eastern shore and five on the Western
shore. These are respectively: Dor
chester, Somerset. Kent, Cecil and
Talbot: st. Maries, Ann Arundel,
Baltimore, Charles and Calvert, or
Calyerton, as it is named on the map.
In addition to the Susquehanna.
with its queer spelling, the principal
rivers are named as the Patowmec.
Patuxent, Ann Arundel, alias Severn.
C%hoptank, Nantecoke and Pecomoke.
Tobacco raising isnamed asthe prin-
cipal source of revenue in the colony.
and it is stated that trade was carried
on chiefly by barter and exchange. The
map was published in London.-Bal-

Ex-Gov. Powell Clayton of Arkan-

candidacy of any one before the Re
publican Convention.
so far as the Arkansas delegation
is concerned" says the Arkansas
leader, ''there will be absolutely no
grievance. There are but two men of
color on the delegation. These were
assured the same quarters as other
members here at the Planters, but
they preferred to go among their own
friends.
The colored men really have no
just complaint to make, and | think
they will recognize that fact when they
come to think. Quarters fortheir del
egations, | am told. were not sought
until all the choice places in the city
had been engaged. Certainly they
cannot now expect that discrimination
will be made in their favor, when it
would not be accorded the most prom
inent white man in the country"
