fore the county court yesterday and

law discriminating against the colored

men were in the jury wheel

INcoMPREHENsiBLE IDEAS.

The Free Traders maxim is that
beyond the raising OF revenue. tariff
can have no lawful purpose. Their
exempli6cation of the idea is that a
tariff which bars out foreign goods
destroys foreign trade; aud that a
tariff which does not bar out foreign
goods is an unnecessary tax.
The original idea of the lawfulness
of tariff as means of protection of
home industries has been so many
times decided affirmatively that it is
no longer a subject of discussion.
All statistics prove that a protective
tariff instead of diminishing foreign
trade increases it. Aud more, if it
did not, il would be great blessing
in that it prevents the expectation of
money. If we do not buy abroad, we
do not have to send our good money
abroad, but keep it at home to circu-
late among our people. A protective
tariff diminishes the prices OF all ar
ticles produced Everybody knows
that manufacturer can produce a
hundred Thousand articles cheaper
per thousand than he can a single
thousand. Go into any factory and
place an order The greater the
number OF articles ordered the cheap
er each article becomes Therefore,
when our home market is protected,
manufacturers supply our wants and
if he has surplus the cost is so low
that he can successfully compete in
the foreign market. Divide the home
market with the foreigner and he is
then in a position to invade other
markets.
Equally fallacious is the argument
that the free coinage of silver would
bring relief. Money was never so
cheap as now. The debt of Great
Britain is funded at two and one, half
per cent. Holders of those bonds will
not part with them because they are
known to be safe. Suppose we had
tree coinage and that wages were
doubled. Everything the wage earn
er has to buy would also double in
price. The meat for his dinner would
cost him twice as much. The butch
er would not be benefited because ne
would be obliged to pay two prices
for his cattle. The farmer would be
in the same plight because his cloth
ing and groceries and farming imple-
ments would be doubled in price.
Water is not the only thing that seeks
level. Laws of trade are as inexor-
able as the laws of nature. Fictitious
prices bring ruin in the end. Nation
al as well as individual honesty is
the best policy.

HART A DIPLO1AT.

The appointment Of Mr.. c. B. Hart
to the Colombian mission recalls to
mind an incident never before pub
lished;
Shortly after he became editor of
the Intelligencer, during a session of
the Legislature, in Wheeling, quite a
number of gentlemen were in his
office one evening, among whom were
several from Charleston, in which
city, as is usual, there was at that
time political row of considerable
dimensions. Mr. Hart, desiring to
familiarize himself as to the cause oil
the contention, quizzed the Charles
tonians very closely and obtained
quite store of information. The next
morning the party boarded an Ohio
river steamer, en- route to their homes
down the river. OF course the new
editor of the Intelligencer was
thoroughly discussed, opinions vary
ing as to his ability. Finally, one of
the party who had suffered most the
evening before, broke out with
"Well, boys, you may say what you
please about him, but he is
diplomatic"

BALLOTS RECOuNTED.

Last Saturday afternoon the council
meet asa canvassing board to ascertain
and certify the result of Mondays
election. Demands having been made
for a recount in the Second and
Fourth wards and the parties interest
ed being represented by attorneys.
Mr.. Lamar by Messrs. Pitzer and
Emmert, and Mr. Cushwa by Messrs.
Westenhaver and Walker, the votes
cast in those wards were recounted
without change in the Fourth Ward.
In the Second ward, it appeared that
a vote cast at the schoolhouse pre-
cinct for Mr. Lamar had been counted
for Mr.. Cushwa, which added two to
Mr.. Lamar's majority At the court
house precinct there We're several
peculiarly marked ballots. One on
which the name of one of the poll
clerks had been erased had been
counted for Mr. Cushwa. 1T being
deemed bad, Mr.. Cushwa's vote was
reduced by one. The net result wasa
gain of three votes for Mr.. Lamar
making his. majority four instead of
one.
