and glowing tribur, To the charnci r,
VOL On and ability OF Alton Brooks Par
her. Mr. Fainey then discussed the tar
| iff issue aud denied the ascei ZION made
by the publican party that Democrat
ic successes in national elections were
always followed by business depresHiohs.
but on the contrary he mHiutained that
the great business depressiOns siHce
/ 1861 were not occasioned by Democratic
successeR. but mad all been during Repub-
ucan administrations. He argued that
the policies Of Republican and Democrat
ic parties a. touching the tariii dillrrtd
chiefly ia this-thnt the Democratic party
advocated thellwest possible tariff, con
sistent with requirements OF govern
mental expenses, on the necessarieS oil
| life. those things essential 10 the comfort
md WEI being of all mankind, not q
favored lew, aud IA high tariff on the lux
uries Of life; while the Republican perry
advocated a high protective tREiti on the
necessities of life, which bore hard on the
poor man. he argued that the indus
! tries of the country needed no protection
and that there was something radically
wrong with our tariff laws when home
manufacturers could pay the cost OF
transportation on their produces anu
sell them in foreign countries at ii lower
price than IN the home market

purpose of the publican party 10 r
duce the representation OF the South IN
the lower house of Congress and assured
his hearers that this was but an add
tional punishment which the Republican
party was att ,mpting to inflict upon the
South and her people He condemned In
unmeasured terms the al mpt Of Pfesi

will towards men, and the militArlsin
Of Mr.. Roosevelt where might makes

neuvers at Manassas were Intended %
