According to free traders, it takes the PEG
pie seven wears to forget the last era of
calamity brought upon the country by a
democratic tariff The free-traders are again
warbling their soup-house ditty and charg-
ing all the political evils on earth upon a
protective policy.-Cumberand Nc"S
Let us see-the average rate of tariff
under the Mckinley Act was about As
per cent?; under the succeeding German
Act ~ per rent.
SO that a difference of about per cent.
in tariffs, both protective, is the actual
cause of "the last era of calamity"
1t may be further stated that since the
war the people of this country have
never seen nor felt ii single woe oc-
casioned by "a democratic tariff. :"
There has been no such tariff.
Hence, 1.-THE last era of calamity" if
drought upon the country by tariff
at all. was invited and welcomed by over
$50 "protective" amendments of tariff
reform bill-a bill which, after enact
ment, democratic president would not
approve.
Whatever, therefore, the "freetraders' y
may be "warbling" now, the truth of
history compels the averment that they
have not only never brought an EZRA of
calamity upon the country but they
have never had the opportunity to do So
In Any Event Unfortunate.
If the numerous republican friends of
Ferdinand Williams are really interest
ed in his elevation to high official
stature, why not boom him for the
House of Representatives
The man who is concededly able and
good enough to make an ideal judge is
thereupon -eminently qualified to
fill representative place i'll Congress.
If not, why not?
Again-if the democratic party is
pliable to republican touch i'll the matter
of naming candidate for the judge
ship to run i'll three republican counties
why not in five counties, one of them
strongly democratic?
Mr.. Williams is an able, genial gentle
man, of high tone, worthy of popular
preferment As such it is unfortunate
for him that he is made to sail under
un-democratic auspices.
Even if the democratic governor
should respond favorably to the re-
publican call for his appointment, not
even his innocence will stand cross
examination.

PISTOL SHOTS ON THE WHARvEs.-
People who we're awake at that hour
saw that about four O'Clock this morn
ing several pistol shots we're heard on
the wharf OF the Norfolk steamers at
the foot of Prince street, and later
Others we're heard on the Strand near
King street. 1t is said t1st some per-
SONS ran from the steamers wharf 10
nor herly direct Oh. No one on the
river front seemed TO know anything
ah0u, the occurrence this morning, and
IL eeems to be shrouded 10 mystery.
Some suppose the special policeman,
whose beat consists OF the river front,
fred at thieves who were about to
break into the freight shed on the
wharf where tobacco was stored; others
think some nocturnal providers became
involved In q row among themselves.
For several years system OF robbery
has been In operation around the
whsryes, and 1t is said one steamboat
company Lost several hundred dollars
worth of freight last year. A few
weeks ago freight shed on one OF the
wbarves was robbed Of q number OF

said to be very plentiful 10 the channel

raids on schools OF herring and in their
reverIes wonder why human beings are
debarred from benefits enjoyed ad libi-
tum by birds. The supply at FishtoWn
this morning was far below the demand
and the likelihood OF still more sparse
receipts was producing apprehension.
Prices in the meantime were advancing,

that the seine handlers at Freestone
