Senator Colquitt’s speech on tariff re
form was one of the ablest and most com-
j prehensive delivered in the senate of the
United States. Our senator “sizes up”
with the greatest in the land.— Bainbridge
Democrat.
After 1888 Minnesota will be as reliably
democratic as Missouri. The wheat-
growers are tired of doing the bulk of the
export business and paying the bulk of the
taxes for the benefit of manufacturers who
bring nothing into the country.—Missouri
Republican.
The newest thing in trusts is the spool
cotton combine. There are only four
firms of spool cotton manufacturers worth
speaking of in the United States, and they
are all in the pool. The price is higher to
consumers than it was before the war, al
though every other commodity of a simi
lar nature has cheapened in the course of
that time. But that is one of the advant
ages of the “trust” game—to the trustees.

Philadelphia Press, and other protection
newspapers. Now we have the Bnlletin,
official organ of the American Iron and
Steel association, joining in the general
alarm. It sees that there is real danger
that the Mills bill will “pass through the
house.” But, even from the high protec
tion standpoint, there could be no danger,
in that the bill would be as impotent as
blank paper if it went no farther than
through the house.
All these organs waste a good deal of
their valuable space on foolish abuse of
the president, charging him with using
patronage to influence congressmen
in favor of the bill. They know
that such use of the execu
tive patronage was a regular incident of
republican administrations, and that
knowledge induces them to charge the
same abuse upofirtfie present incumbent
of the presidential office. -the^are
utterly destitute of facts on which to base
such an accusation. They do not, and
cannot, recall a single instance in which
President Cleveland has interfered with
legislation beyond the clearly defined line
of constitutional duty. He bad his inning,
his day in court, when it became his duty
to send his third annual message to con
gress. The manner in which he performed
that duty was not calculated to please pro
tection extremists, but it made that pro
found impression on public sentiment
which has created the danger against
which the organs are now warning the
country—the danger that some of the
wicked war taxes will be repealed and-
other taxes reduced.
As to the proposed reductions, why is it
that these organs will not make a clear
statement of their case by taking up a
number of sample items and showing how
much, or how little, protection will be left
if the committee’s bill becomes law? The
answer to this question is that such a
course would be a give-away of their case.
They have no grievance. Aside from a

We have no objection to the govern

and as submissive to the powers of the 1
government as weie the people of the
north. It was not a war measure, and
cannot be justified as such.
But what is the difference between the
dishonesty of collecting this money, and
of refusing to restore it after it had been
proven that it was illegally collected?
There is no difference. The imposition
of the tax was illegal, and the retention
of the money it brought into the treasury
is dishonest.
And this is true of a government with
a surplus—a government that has more
money than it wants. Millions of
dollars in the vaults of the government do
not belong to it, but to the southern peo-~
pie, and the spirit that had rather throw
this away than give it to its proper own
ers, is shameful and disgraceful beyond
the power of words to describe.

1886 and 1888.
The influence upon Mr. Randall of the
president’s message, and the growth of
the surplus, can be seen in this wise: Mr.
Randall presented on June 28,1886, (nearly
two years ago) a tax-reduction bill to the
house, and accompanied it with tabular
statements, showing his proposed reduc
tion to be:
Customs free list * 1,526,124 46
Custom rates 7,044,452 29
Tobacco internal taxes 26,407,088 48
Total 434,977,665 23
In 1888, Mr. Randall proposes this reduc
tion:
Custom taxes $25,000,000
Internal taxes 70,000,000
Hired Voters at the North.
A great deal is said by the organs
about the corruption of the ballot at the
south, but the organs are silent about
any similar shortcomings at the north.
There are, however, a few papers tHere
that are not to be classed among the
organs, and they know no geography in
crime.
The Providence Journal says, in speak
ing of the recent election in Rhode
Island: “There are some questions of
interest in regard to this election, which
will need to be dwelt upon laterand
the Springfield Republican adds ; “Un
less the reporters have been seeing things
which do not exist, and the Journal’s
own intimations during the progress of
the canvass are at fault, there is certainly
need for frank talk about the use of
money in elections down there. This is
a dark pictnre of demoralization which
the Providence correspondent of the
Boston Herald has drawn.”
It is a fact, well-known, though not
commented on by the republican organs,
that there is a great deal of bribery and
intimidation at elections in many of the
northern states, and that it is generally
done in the interest of the republican
party. If all fraud and violence at elec
tions could be suppressed, the democrats
would doubtless gain several states. It
is doubtful if they would lose one.
Chandler’s ridiculous bill, which died
the day it was born, was not intended to
prevent fraud and intimidation in any of
the states except South Carolina, Florida,
Mississippi and Louisiana. If Chandler
had been honest and earnest, he could
have found, nearer home, the proper
field for his efforts.

Don Had to Have It.
Every now and then some ambitious
democrat makes an effort to secure the
consulate of the United States.at the city
of Dresden. This position is held by a Mr.
Mason of Virginia, who belongs to the cel
ebrated family of that name who have
figured prominently in political and social
affairs in the old dominion, and a family
which has produced many talented men,
The present oonsul was appointed some
ten or twelve years ago, during a republi
can administration. He is a democrat, but
this fact is not generally known, and
whenever an attempt is made to take his
scalp, the would-be successor of Mr. Mason
invariably overlooks the politics ot the
gentleman at Dresden, and simply takes
it for granted that he is a republican
There is a very interesting story in con
nection with Mr. Mason’s appointment.
It was secured while old Gen. Simon Cam
eron was a member of the senate. The
man removed at the time was a republi
can and a staunch friend and supporter of
Gen. Logan. When Mason’s name was
sent to the senate Gen. Logan, became, it
is said, very angry, and, shaking bis head,
remarked:
“Ob! this can’t be done! my man can’t
be turned out!”
Old Gen. Cameron went over to Logan
and said; ‘
“Now be easy, John; be easy. Don’t
worry about that. Your man has been in
a good while.”
Gen. Logan ccoled down for the moment
and began to make a few inquiries about
the new nominee. It was not long before
Senator Logan discovered that Mason was
a democrat, and this fact he announced to
the venerable Senator Cameron.
“I can’t help that,” said the latter, “he
is a friend of Don’s; he went to school
with Don; Don asked for the appointment
and Don must have the appointment.”
Logan protested, but it availed him noth
ing. The Camerons put this man in and
he is holding tho fort up to the present
time.
Not long since a democrat in looking
over the consular list with one of his sena
torial friends, came across the name of
Mason at Dresden. With a great deal of
glee he said: “Here’s a republican, and I
understand that the only influence he has
is that of Senator Don Cameron. The
senator to whom he was talking smiled,
and then said:
“Look here, my friend, you don’t know
what a powerful man this Senator Don
Cameron is. Yon had better try some
where else. You won’t be apt to get Ma
son out.”—Missouri Republican.

The Scare Is Spreading.
The scare along ’the lines of the organs
of a tariff for protection is getting to be
somewhat immense. They are very mnch
afraid that the ways and means committee
bill will become a law. For policy’s sake
they generally confine their comments to
speculation on the aotion of the house of
representatives, but their main trouble is
that they cannot trust the senate. The
passage of the bill throngh the house need
not worry them. Indeed, if they were
sincere in their profession of a desire to
meet this issue in the presidential cam
paign, and if they felt sure of their repub
lican brethren in the north end of the
capltol, they would be glad to have the
house pat the bill throngh. Bnt the de
mand for tariff reform is so general and
Imperative that these organs are really
frightened.
We have referred to the load and awful
“warnings” of the New York Tribune,
Spring Shaving.
“Off come the beards,” said the hand
some Center street barber as he waded
through whiskers, black, gray, brown and
fiery red.
“Friends are passing friends on the
street without recognition,” continued
Jim; “to-day I shaved a perfect stranger
who had a beard of a winter’s growth. I
shaved him clean, and it was not till I
looked in the glass while 1 was putting on
a little vaseline and—who do you suppose
it was?”
“Give it up.”
“My brother from Boston. I had not
seen him for a year.”
The barber at the next chair nearly
choked at this, but pretended it was the
strong bay rum which made him cough.
At this moment the boss barber recog
nized an old customer in a man who got
out of the chair presided over by the bar
ber fro a France. The customer had
ceased to be a customer from the previous
November.
“That’s the way I retain my old custom
ers,” said the barber, cheerily; “shall I
take off your whiskers, sir?”
“No, sir,” said the citizen in the boss’s
chair: “those whiskers are my trade mark
in life and bnsineas. It’s au foolishness
about them being too hot in summer. I
believe in encouraging the wind to blow.”

A FIRST-RATE
RECOMMENDATION.
Columbus, Ga., April 6,1888.
Hatcher Iron Wagon Company, Rollin Jefferson,
Agent:
Dear Sirs : I bought your first “ IRON
WAGON,” and it gives me pleasure to give
you a certificate of its merit. I find that
it runs much lighter, and less draft or
strain on mules, and surpasses my expecta
tions in every respect. I have hauled
heavy loads of green lumber, and cheer
fully say that the wagon is all you claim for
it. It will save more wear od the mules
than any wagon I ever used. I am sixty
years old and have tested all wagons, and
consider your “ Iron Wagons ” worth fif
teen dollars more than the wooden wagons.
I recommend it to any man wanting a
wagon. We have tested it satisfactorily.
