Mr. Smith Clayton, one of the leading

with the Atlanta constitution announced
his withdrawal from that party. He was
one of the gentlemen who signed the re

went into tho movement to liberalize the
political sentiment of the State, and
thereby add to her prosperity. He has
been behind the scenes, and says, tho fight
is narrowing down to Bourbonism on oao
hand and Negroism on the other. Of these
two evils he thinks Bourbonism the lesser,

from Georgia. The Arthur party will sup
port the Independents for State offices, and
la return the Independents will bo expected
to support the negroes and Republicans
for the legislature. If they carry the leg
islature they will re-district the State with
the hope of putting several Republicans
and negroes in Congress. Arthur told a
prominent Republican that he intended to
do for tho new party in Georgia, what ho
expect to carry the State by the white of
fice seekers. The negroes are working

MONUMENTAL BRONZE CO.,
Bridgeport, Conn.
In presenting to the People the White
Bronze Monuments, Statues, and \ asos, I
do so, knowing (from the high source of
their recommendation) that I am offering
them the most durable Monuments that
lias ever been before the public, and their
cheapness puts them in reach of all. Be
ing from fifty to one hundred per cent,
cheaper than marble and more lasting t iian
marble or granite. Our Bronze is compos
ed of pure Cast Zinc, which differs mate
rially Troin the commercial article, being
refined especially for our own use, and it is
also an entirely different article from tho
sheet zinc, which is an amalgam, whilst j did for the new party in Virginia. They
ours is a Pure Metal, like Gold and Silver, expect to carry the Sta
Tho beautiful surface finish on all our work H
is produced by the patented sand blast pro-\
ass, of whlch’wo have the exclusive con
trol for this class of work, and by means of
which wo impart a finish closely resem
bling granite, and the material being of
Light Gray Color, justly entitles our roods
to their trade name of “White Bronze.’’
Some doubts having been expressed ar
to the durability of tiie “White Bronze
Monuments," 1 submilted a piece of tho
metal to George F. Payne, a chemist of
prominence, for analysis and below give j
the result, also that of other chemists.
Judge for yourselves and if you want a
monument see me beforeyou place your or
der, and 1 will give you a monument
cheaper tuan anybody. Orders received
and HI bid from any section of the Country.

Mr. O. P. Heath, Esq.,—Dear Sir: I
have examined the piece of metal which
you left with me as a sample of the mate
rial used in the manufacture of White
Bronze Monnuments for which you have
the agancy. I find it to be composed of
inetaUc zinc, a material of the most dura
ble nature and well calculated to withstand
all atmospheric Influences. When proper
ly erected and ol sufficient weight, they
will certainly prove durable and rather in
clined to improve in appearance tiian to
deterioate.
Very Respectfully,

will not adhere or grow upon their surface

HUSH NEWS.
The late news from Ireland indicates that
a brighter day is dawning for the “Island
of sorrows.” The British government has
entered on a policy of concession pure and
simple, as the London Times calls It. Par
nell, Dillon and O’Kelly have been released
from Kilmatnham jail. They Immediate!
ly proceeded to Armdale, the home dt Par
nell, where they will remain two days, and
then proceed to Lt.ndon to take their seats
in Parliament. The Times says. If this
new policy fails to pacify Ireland, .Glad
stone and his Cabinet will go by the: board.
Gladstone is playing a desperate tuta,
and his powoh depends upoa the aOcOein
of his new policy. Tha Staodarflsay*, the
Radicals have triumphed. Hues'mem
bers of tho Ladles Land League at Fra-
lee have I toon sentenced to six months im
prisonment in default of bail. Mr. Cham-
herlaln desires an Irishman appointed Chief
Secretary of Ireland, in place of Forster,
resigned. Tho new policy of the govern
ment rests on the iiope that the feelings
of tiie Irish will be touched and qutet re
stored. Tiie Times says if Parnell will use
his influence, quiet and good order will be
speedily restored In Ireland.
A distinguished statesman. In Washing
ton, said, that Mr. Carlisle, was the ablest
man in the House. Be that as it may, his
speech on the tariff, recently delivered In
the House of Representatives, is one of
the ablest delivered on that important sub
ject. It la calm, philosophical, practical
and just. He deals In argument not dec
lamation. His speech is compact reason
ing and truth. It oontalns not a word of
vituperation or abuse. It is kind, just and
generous. He said there could be no final
settlement of this question that is not just
to the great body of the people, those not
engaged in manufacturing and mechanical
purs aits ns well as those who are. The pres
ent tariff system has signally failed to yield
Its promised results, and the time has
come when it ought to be thoroughly re
vised, if not totally repudiated. Gongross
should proceed at once in the performance
of Its duty to revise tho tariff. The tariff
commission bill Is not a bill to facilitate
tho revision of the tariff. It is a bill to pay
$200 per day out of tho Treasury, to pay a
commission, perhaps for years, to perform
duties which wo are sent here to perform
and which the people expect us to perform
If this measure passes, there can be no
relief from the present tariff In two or
three years to come. This commission
cannot report a plan of revision unless it
knows what amount of money the govern
ment needs, how much will be appropria
ted for tho navy, army, pensions, payment
of the public debt, and other subjects of
appropriation. These are subjects over
which Congress has exclusive control, and
to legislate upon them, Congress was or
ganized and congressmen elected. There
Is no reason for this bill except one, and
that Is tho assumed Incapacity of Con
gress to legislate upon the tariff. Con
gress, which Is responsible to tho people,
Is better able to legislate upon this sub
ject than nine men appointed by the Pres
ldent and responsible to nobody. It would
be impossible to devise a tariff more un
just and unequal than the present one. If
its authors had exercised their ingenuity
to make It as bad as possible It could not
have been any worse. It violates every
rulo that ought to govern In the distribu
tion of the burdens of taxation among the
people. By imposing the highest rates
upon the lowest grades and cheapest class
es of goods, it places the hcavlost burdens
upon those who are least able to bear
them. Tho Just and equitable rule Is to
regulate the rate according to Dio value of
the article to be taxed, and if that rulo Is
departed from, It should be in those cases
where less than the average rates are Im
posed upon articles of absolute necessity
lu common use among those who arc least
able to bear the burdens of taxation. This
equitable principle of taxation is violated
in nearly every one of its schedules; this
system, which our friends on the other
side tell us, has for Its principal object, tho
protection of labor, Imposes the highest
rates on the articles which the laboring
people are compelled to buy and use, and
the lowest rates on tho finer grades of
goods, which are purchased and usod by
people in better pecuniary clrcumstancos.
Let us have a few examples in woolen
goods.
On dress goods, women’s and children’s
wear, worth at the place of production 17.3
cents per square yard, tho duty is only a
fraction less that 70 per cent., while on the
same kind of goods, but of liner quality,
and worth $1.75 per pound, the duty Is less
than 63% per cent. On coarse woolen
blankets, such as people of small means
are compelled to use, worth 54 cents per
pound, the duty is 90% per cont., but on
the fine blankets, worth $1.37 per pound,
tho duty Is 71% per cent. On flannels
worth 41% cents per pound, the duty is
between 102 and 103 per cent., while! on
tiie finer flannels, worth $1.64 per pound,
the tax is 65% per cent. On woolen hosie
ry worth 55 cents per pound, the law im
poses a duty equivalent to 89% per cent.,
ad valorem, but if the articlo Is worth $2.41
per [tound, the duty is less than 56 per cent.
On all other woolen goods costing at the
place of production less than 40 cents per
pound, the duty is 84% per cent., but if
they cost $1.47 per pound the duty Is 69 per
cent. On coarse hats of wool, worth 65%
cents per pound, the duty is 96 per cent;
on hats costing $2.15 per pound tho duty
is 58 per cent.
Bleached cottons worth 12.4 cents per
square yard, at the place of production
are subject to a duty of 44% per cent.,
while bleached cottons, worth 14.3 cents
per square yard, are taxed 35 per cent.
Printed orcolom! goods worth 14% cents
per square yard, arc taxed over 88 per
cent, but if they arc worth over 25 cents
per square yard they are taxed only 35 per
cent. On jeans, denims, drillings, Ac.,
bleached and worth 14.3 cents per square
yard, the duty is nearly 45% per cent., but
on the saruo kind of goods not bleached or
colored and worth 21.2 cents per square
yard. Die duty Is less than 33 per cent.
In the metals, cut tacks, brads and
springs, worth 4.2 per thousand, aro sub
ject to a duty of 59 1-2 per cent., but if they
are worth 17 cents per thousand, they are
only taxed 17% per cent.
Halter-chatns, traco-chains and fence-
chains, in common uso among farmers,
worth 4.3 cents per pound, aro taxed 5834
percent.; but smaller and finer chains,
worth nearly 6 cents per pound, aro taxed
51 per cent.; those worth 10 1-2 cents per
pound, aro taxed 35 per cent.
Iron wire worth 31-2 cents per pound, is
subject to a duty of 711-2 per cent., while
wire of the same kind, but of a different
size, worth $1.08 per pound, is taxed 19 per
cent.
Bars, Ac., of steel, worth 141-2 cents per
pound, are taxed less than 34 1-2 per cent.,
while railway bars of steel, worth only 1.6
per pound, are taxed over 76 1-4 per cent.
Steel wire, worth 3 1-2 cents per pound, Is
taxed 6534 per cent., that worth 27.3 cents
per pound is taxed less than 23 per cent.
The finest quality of salt imported worth 3
mills per pound, pays a duty or Jess than
40 percent, wldlethe coarse salt in common
use for preserving meat, feeding cattle, Ac.,
and worth 1 mill per pound ts taxed 641-2
per cent.
The finest carpets imported into this
country and worth $2.24 per square yard,
are subject to a duty of 50 per cent., while
druggets, booking, Ac., wort It 40 cents per
square yard, are subject to a duty of 961-2
per cent., and carpets worth 68 cents per
yard, pay 76 per cent,
These arc only a few of tiie many in
stances in which tho present extraordinary
tariff discriminates against labor, and a-
gainlt those who are dependent upon the
wages of labor for tho means of subsis
tence. Tho receipts of the government far
exceed the expenses, and those duties are
laid to prohibit the importation of certain
articles, either wholly or partially. I be
lieve in laying a tariff for revenue, revenue
only, if you please; but the tariff can be so
arranged that while it raises sufficient rev
enue, it will afford all the protection any
legitimate Industry in tills country needs.
One of the favorite arguments of those,
whosustaiathe preseut system, is that it
gives a home market to the farmers for
their produce. Under the protective sys
tem tiie farmers have been compelled to
send a larger proportion of their products
.to foreign countries than under the reve
nue system, thus showing that a protec
tive tariff injures them according to tho
arguments of the protectionists. In 1840,
Under a protective tariff, tho production of
of cereals in this country, amounted to
$15,525,302 bushels, of which, 602,326.353
bushels were consumed at home, and 13,-
199,049 bushels sent abroad.
In 1850, the tariff had bt'en greatly re
duced. the totul production was 867.453,967
bushels, of which wo consumed, at home,
851.502,312 bushels and exported 15,951,655
bushels, or only 1.9 percent.
In I860, tho tariff was still further re
duced, the production was 1,239,039,945
bushels, of which the home market took
1,218,0S4.810 bushels, and thoro were ex
ported 22,955,135 bushels, or 1.8 per cent.
In 1870, wo had a high protective tariff;
the production was 1,629,027,600 bushels, of
which 1,571,737,179, were consumed at
homo, and 57,290,521 bushels or S 1-2 per
cent., were exported and sold in foreign
markets.
Thoso figures show that from 1350 to
1860, the production of grain increased 45
per cent., while the exports increased only
43.9 per cent., and that under the operation
of tho high tariff from 1860 to 1870, pro
duction Increased only 31.4 per cent., while
tho exports increased 1401-2 per cent.
The exports of Indian com in I860, amount
ed to less than one-haif of 1 per cent., of
tho product, but in 1880, they amounted to
0.34 per cent., while tho exports of wheat
In 1860 amounted to 2.40 per cent., and In
1S80 to 34 1-2 per cent, of tne entire pro
duct. Under tiie revenue system, home
consumption kept race with homo produc
tion; under the protective system, the pro
duction far outstripped tiie home demand.
The manufactures have a homo market for
all their goods, while 1 ho farmers exported
during tho last fiscal year, $730,000,000 of
of their produce. Our farmers are told
that they mu9t submit to a high protec
tive tariff, which taxes his clothing, his
agricultural implements, his means of
transportation and many articles of his
food, in order to enable our manufacturers
to compote in tho markets here with the
products of the so-called pauper labor ol
other countries, while he is compelled to
send his products threo thousand miles to
a market, and there compete with the
emancipated serfs of Russia and swarms
ot half clothed and half fed Hindoos, whoso
wages amount to only a few cents a day.
Tho agricultural laborers of Europe and
Asia, with whom our farmers are forced to
compete, are the worst fed, worst clothed
and worst paid in the world. The wages
received in the old world by those engaged
In mechanical and manufacturing pursuits,
are much higher than the farm laborers
can ever hope to get, and yet we have a
system of taxation based upon tiie theory
that it is the duty of the government to
protect ono class of our producers against
competition with the best paid labor in
tiie world, except our own, and to leavo
another class open to competition with the
poorest paid labor In the world.
In 1816, Mr. Clay said, the manufactur
ers needed protection for about three
years to enable them to compete with for
eign manufactures. It has been 66 years
since then and still we have the same ap
peals. The wonderful improvements In
machinery have greatly lossenod the cost
of production. The homo market has
grown to such huge proportions, that
smaller percentages on the gross value
of the product, are more remunerative
titan largerones were at any former time
Now is tho time, if ever, to relievo the un
protected industries, anu test the capacity
of our manufacturers to supply the home
trade at fair [trices.
Take tho article of Bessemer steel rails.
Tho number of hands employed in 1880,
was 10,835; the wages paid amounted to
$4,930,349; tho amount of capital invested,
including all tho real estate, was $20,975,-
999; total cost of material used, $30,820,928;
and tho total value of the product was
$55,805,210. Deducting the total cost of
labor and materials from the value of the
product, there is left Die sum of $14,047,-
933, which Is a small fraction less than 07
per cont on tho whole capital invested. It
thus appears that while capital retains in
Its hands, after paying the whole co6t of
production, nearly C7 per cent., labor re
ceived less than nine per cent of tho value
of the product. The tariff on this article is
$28 per ton.
In 1860, under a revenue tariff, labor re
ceived twenty per cent of the value of the
manufacturing products. In 1870, labor re
ceived 18 per cent., under a protective tariff,
while capital received 45.7 per cont. on the
amount or capital invested. In 1880 in the
iron and steel industries, labor received
18.7 per cont on tho production while capi
tal made 21.57 per cent., nett proUt. In
1880, in the manufacture of woolen goods,
labor received 17.7 per cent, of the product,
while capital made 35 per cont on tho in
vestment.
In tho production of pig iron, in 1880, la
bor received 14.3 per cent of the value of
the product, while in I860, it received 21.7
per cent., and in 1870, 17.9 per cont. In the
manufacture of nails and tacks, during the
protective year, 1870, labor received 16 per
cent., of the value of the product, in 1850,
a revenue year, it received 23 1-2 per cent.,
and in i860, a revenue year, 24 s 4 per cent.
In cotton manufactures, in 1830, the la
borers, skilled and unskilled, received an
average of 78 cents per day, just 27 cents
per day more than unskilled agricultural
laborers received iu poor, downtrodden
Ireland. In 1850, each hand engaged In
manufacture, .received on an average,
$244.83 In gold, per annum. In I860, $287
In gold. In 1870, $306 in gold. In the free
trade or revenue poriod from 1850 to 1860,
the Increase of wages was IS per cent, and
from 1860 to 1870, during a protective pe
riod, tho increase was 7 per cent.
In 1870, tho necessaries of life were 33 per
cent, higher than in 1350, in gold. Thus In
1870, the. purchasing power of the laborers’
wages was $230.7G, against S244.83, In 1850,
so that he received $14.07 less per year, or
nearly six per cent. The protective advo
cates say that protection is necessary to
enable them to pay higher wages to work
men here than is paid them in England.
Let us assume that 50 per cent, a most
liberal allowance, represents the differ
ence. The cost of labor in one ton of mer
chant bar iron, here is $20.05 and the cost
In England Is $6.63 less. Tho duty is $33.60
per ton. It appears therefore that 19.8 per
cent, of the duty pays for the difference in
labor and that 80.02 is appropriated to cap
ital. Taxation in this country is not great
er than In England and a duty of 2 per
cent., would cover the difference in in
terest.
The era or greatest prosperity iu this
country, was from 1830 to i860, when we
had a tariff for revenue, with such inciden
tal protection as came from a moderate
tariff, a tariff under which tho average du
ties on all dutablo articles wore less than
23 per cent.
Tho above is a brief and imperfect out
line of Mr. Carlisle’s great and instructive
speech. In conclusion Mr. Carlise said
“Mr. Chairman, it is our duty to legislate
for all, and not for a part; to encourage all
if wo can, and to injure none if wo can a-
void it. Such a course will develop every
Industry of the country, do justice to all
its people and demonstrate to the world
the wisdom, and Iteneficenee of the free in
stitutions under which we live. Wo havo
now an opportunity to oater upon such a
course, and wo ought not to let it pass
away from us. I owo the committee many
apologies for the unusual length of my re
marks, and profound thanks for the pa
tience with which it has listened to them.”
(Groat applause.)
And well did such an honest, conserva
tive and statesmanlike speech, deserve
great applause.

ADVICE TO CONSUMITIVES.
On the appearance of the first symp

fier and 8trongth~restorer.—Dr. Pierce’s

Death of Col. O. F. Daniel.
We were shocked to learn a tew days
since of tho death of Col. O. P. Daniel of
Greensboro, Ga. Doubtless notices had
been made in some of the public prints of
tho decease of this most estimable citizen,
but from some causo had escaped our ob
servation. For nearly forty years, the
writer had a pleasing acquaintance with
him and for no one did he entertain a more
sincere regard than for him. He possess
ed all the virtues that constitute a good
man and excellent citizen. We mot him at
tho annual Agricultural Convention which
was held in Augusta, last February, and
never saw him in finer health. He exhibi
ted the same genial characteristics which
made him so agreeable in the social rela
tions. For long years wo had mot him and
was ever attached to him as a friend and
public spirited citizen. On the 6th of last
March, after spending a delightful evening
In his library, with his family, an hour af
ter retiring, he was seized with something
like congestion of the lungs or heart, and
in half and hour his spirit passed from
earth, we hope and believe, to an eternal
and happy rest. Wo never knew a man of
kinder heart and nobler Impulses. We call
to mind the bright and joyful past, the
many delightful associations we had with
him, his kindly feelings and his handsome
face that always beamed with gentle smiles
and devotion to the best interests of his
State and sincere regard for his friends.
But his manly form is now hidden in the
grave to which we are all hastening. His
death Is a great loss to nis county and his
Btnte, and, alas! to those whom he so dear
ly loved. At this late hour, we, who ad
mired him so much, tender to his bereaved
Georgia Gleanings.
