The wearisome tariff debate is
over and We know what we have to
expect and can compare the Dingley
with other tariffs. In 1862, in the
midst of terrible war, the average
tariff was but 80 per cent. The Nc
Kinley tariff raised the per cent to
40. The Wilson bill lowered the
rate to 80 per cent. Now comes
the Dingley bill and raises the aver
age tax to IS per cent; this too in
time of peace and abundant crops.
VIII the people stand this? 1t is
estimated that this bill will pour into
the treasury $28O,OOO,OOO a year;
S6O,OO0,000 more than the Wilson
tariff. At the opening of the last
days debate on the tariff the chap
lain prayed "that the tariff bill may
disappoint the fears Of its opponents
and excuse the hopes of its advo.

Two candidates announce theil
intention elsewhere of submitting
their names to the coming PopulisI
county convention, viz: James R
Heskett for sheriff and w. NJ. lack.
son for register of deeds. Both
gentlemen have served the people
one term and have made a record
entirely satisfactory. Jim Heskett
carries a head of his own and il
sometimes runs counter to the iudg.
ment of others which causes some
friction, but this is generally in Re.
publican ranks. Jim has a pretty
firm hold on the confidence of the
PopuliStS of Sumner county. Mr..
Jackson has made many friends and
few enemies during his first term and
so far as We know has no opposition
for denomination.

therefore entitled to the same consid.
