The Sunday Times is opposed to economy in public affairs. It favors tlie expenditure of the peo pie’s money with a liberal hand Tlie Times will not lie iccognized as Democratic authority on this subject. The Constitution says: “It will be observed that Mr. Handall is in his old place.” Yes, and tlie Republican party will keep him there as long as they can use him as a tool to defeat all legislation in tlie interest of tlie people. Theory of “free trade” raised by the protectionists every lime any thing is said about a modification of the tariff, is intended as a feint to divert public attention, while they are concocting their schemes to rob and plunder the people. Condition of Farmers. The Atlanta Constitution, and ■liter journals interested in the perpetuation of the present out rageous tariff, never weary of as serting that our agriculture is in a highly prosperous condition. They make this assertion because Liny consider it essential to the successful inainlainance of the principles of protection. To ad mit that the farmers arc drifting into a state oT “dependence ami “servitude,” would damage the cause they are striving so bard to defend and uphold: especially when the farmers themselves are ascribing to the inequalities of the tariff’a large portion of their misfortunes. It is well known that the tariff’ was never intended to benefit the farmer, and any ar gument attempting to show that it does must tail, because there are no facts to sustain it. Its only object is io benefit the man ufacturer, by destroying or crip pling foreign competition, thereby enabling him to gel a higher price for his goods. But that is not its only effect; for litis higher to ship his goods over three thmis and miles across the ocean, and compete with the American man ufacturer? It is reasonable to presume that competition is as sharp in England as it is in this country, and therefore if a mer chant gets fifteen dollars for a suit of clothes in London, how can he afford to pay the cost of trans purlalion, and the heavy «1 uty at I the custom house, and sell that suit forojlhe same price in New York or Atlanta? A man would he crazy to think of such a thing. If goods arc as cheap here as they arc there, then it is evident that! the American dealer is in no dan ; ger of foreign competition even : without the tariff. IflheConsti j tulion’s statement be true, it is 1 clear that the tariff affords no pro tecliun or benefit to home tnanu-, factliters, and we cannot under lure. stand why it is the protectionists [ A meeting of the fanners of cling to it witli such unyielding [ Oglethorpe county !a,t week, held tenacity.

Senator Voerhccs says truly that tlie protectionists have inaugurat ed a campaign of mendacity, and that they will continue to tight on 1 hut line until tile “frost of next protect, or the Constitution don’t know what it is talking about. The idea that protection makes goods cheap is too silly and all surd to he considered for a mo- incut, and nobody who is disposed to discuss the question in a spirit of justice and farncss will advance such a theory. But the leading pur] use and only hope of the pro tecliomsts is to envelop the tariff issue ina dense atmosphere of tuys lery, so that the people will not be able to understand it and vole intelligently upon it: and to ac complish this purpose they have adopted the instrumentality ol falsehood and misrepresentation.

Tlie Constitution admits that a vast amount of foreign capital has hern placed in Geor gia, seeured by mortgages on (arms, and upon these loans an interest has been exacted rang ing from about 12 to 20 per cent, it is known that #8,000,000 have been thus invested in our State, and as a rule of these capitalists is, that the farmer shall have only a third of the value of his land, it is seen that tile aggregate value of farm property encumbered by these mortgages amounts to near ly $25,000,000. All the .othei Southern Stales are in precisely the same fix.
