The News and many other papers have frequently called the attention of oor farmers to the importance of noting their own mules and horses, »nd we are pleased to learn that ■took raising is making some pro gr«M in the State. Georgia pays hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to Tennessee anil Ken tacky stock farmers for mules, which can be raised in this State cheaper than on the high priced blue grass lands. Mr. W. J. Northern, president of the State Agricultural Society, thinka the farmers of Geor *gia are beginning to realize this and that there will be moro raised in Georgia hereafter, i Brunswick Journal says; Some time ago the Journal men tioned the fact that Mr. J- B. Warner, of Greeno county, bad in Florida a car load of mules of own raising. This was probably lirst round lot of mules ever in Greeue county for the market. the contrary, Greene Ido all other counties in the State, thousands of dollars annually Tennessee and Kentucky mules. »Ve are glad to note an interest that is being manifested stock raising in Georgia. The intelligent and thoughtful farmers the State are giving the their attention, and all that tried it so far have prospered. Among the most prominent stances of men who have been cessful in this line is Mnj^-'W. Wilkins, of Burk county He over ?30.000 invested m fine and is greatly eneourifced with experience so far. He took premiums at the Piedmont tion, at Atlanta, last fall. It is said that moles are raiaOvl Liberty oounty at a cost of $25 which would co*C from $125 to if brought from Kentucky or ucssee. This portion of tho country is oulisriy adapted for i aiding stock almost every description and is tined to bscome u great stock mg country. Instead of money out of the State for •took will be raised here and elsewhere. Tile climate is so here that stock is ersily kept tbiough tbe winter with little nml tbe grass grows all the toned.

We Democrats con tend that by reduciug the taiiff on several articles we will have less surplus in the Treasury. Yet, recoi Jecting that the receiptsjore tariff, now will very- large with tho present not the reduction on the articles mes tioned cause of them a greater the exportation people of and sale to this country with a necessary in crease of the ^surplus fond f True, by doing this the foreign macufactu rer pays it uml not the consumer, yet how does it tally with some ex pressions I have hoard from protni nent Democrats T Ixouirek.” To this the Courier Journal to plies as follows; We do not think that the rcduc tions proposed by the Mills Bill would linvc the effset of increasing the revenue derived from tho imper tatiou of any article of consequence, if upon any at all. The reductions are not radical, and would not stirnu late such an increase in imports as would augment the customs revc nues by moro than it lessened them. Most assuredly tho general result of all tho redactions proposed would be a largo diminution of the revenues derived from duties on imports. The present tariff is so high that cn most articles the i-.ew rate agreed upon by the framers of the Mills Bill would be practically protective against any such flood of imports as our correspondent Bcems to antici pate. Besides, he appears to hive forgot ten the important additions which the b'll makes to tho free list. These will ereato big holes in tho surplus, without any possibility of pouring anything back into the Treasury through tho same holes. But suppose that “Inquirer’s” fears should be well founded, and that instead of reducing the Treasu ry receipts the loner duties should increase them, that would not be such an unfortunate thing as he evi dently considers it. In the first place, while ruoie money would he paid into tho Treasury than is even now unnecessarily paid, a great deal more tnon.y would remain in the pockets of tho people than they are allowed to retain under tho existing tariff, and thus relieve the country of tho danger of congestion which the present situation threatens. Our correspondent will understand this when he recalls the fact that now for every dollar of tariff taxes that goes into the Treasury five dollars go into the pockets of private iudi vate individuals and corporations, while with duties low enough to stimulate such an increased impor tatiou ns to augment the present customs receipts consumers would get their goods correspondingly cheaper, while tho taxes which they paid cn those goods would go to the Government instead of into the safes of subsidized corporations and “Ousts. 11 And such a result would warrant another and immediate en largemeut of the free list for the re t j lIC {j oU tbe unnecessary surplus, am ] consequently a further corres pouJilliJ benefit to the people by au additional lightening of taxa tioc. But Inquirer is very far afield when ho declares that the foreign manufacturer pays tho duties on im ports. No more radical error could mislead the student of tho tariff question. The consumer, and the consumer alone, pays the tarifl tax 0I1 ; mpoit s The merchant of this country pays the duty on a piece of goods he imports from England, and simply adds the amount to the cloth when •Tuquiroi" buys it for bis new spring suit- Who in reality paj8 ,{,e duty, tbe foreigner from wli0!U it imported, tbe job here, wholesale men and retail deal I quirei' btm.e f who btu ^ ; tbe clotb, not ?
