It Is tbe opinion of Hon. A. 8.
Hewitt, a large iron maker, that tbe
tariff is tbe cause of the present
great depression in tbe iron trade.
Hewitt as you may, the truth falls
on that line.
Tbe Demeerallo caucus of the
Ohio legislature boa nominated
Hon. Henry 11. Payne as United

more deserving men than Payne.

It appears fram tho record that
the present cold snap baa boon more

statement, tor we have to go book

President Potter, of the North
Chicago ItoUing Mill, now lying
idle, aays the tarifl baa nothing to
do with its suspension of work,
aad that a tariff of 1,000,000 per
cent, would not sell atae! rails wbon
there ie no demand for them. It
aeems as if everybody ongbt to
have known that before, but some
people won’t believe 1* even now.

We do not know of any man in the

In view of tbe gloomy flnaneial
outlook the people of tbe South
were peculiarly fortunate In turn
ing Uidr attention as soon as they
did toward rendering themselves
fi adapendent of the Northwestern
smoke-houses and granaries. Had
' oar planters continued in their tub
ratal policy of raieing all cotton and
baying their inest and grain, tbe
short crop of the past year would
not only have ruined them, but it
would also have ruined tbe mer
chants, and it it bard to realise tbe
financial distress that would have
occurred. With comparatively
email indebtedness, plenty of home
supplies, the South it in a tor bet
ter financial condition than the
North, with its short crops and Idle
i and factories.

One of tho first remarks made by
tbe agriculture editor of tbit paper,
alter lest nlng tbe method of culti
vating cotton, won, “Why don’t
you plant It in bills, so aa to plow
through it both ways t—it would
save a groat amount of labor.” We
were told it would not do. But now
comen Dr. Zelner,of Atbville, Ala.,
who baa tbe reputation of having
raised the finest sample of cotton
ever grown in the South, and ad
vocate* planting in check row*,
five by three feet apart, claiming
that half the labor it thus saved.
By planting in bille, instead of
rows, the fertilizers nsed would be
productive of much more good.
If tbe Savannah Nnwa were not
no dignified and staid, it ought to
give some of itp conlcmpories
turning down for merciless work
with tbe tcluors on its editorial
page. This matter of stealing
editorials and newt is getting
monotonous. Hardly a day pastes
but we see a Savanuab News, Con
stitution or Telegraph editorial
boldly occupying a place aa original
oditorlal in some state paper. Such
papers should be branded.’
Tbe senatorial contest in Ken

candidates are Senator Williams,

one or two voles of receiving the
democratic nomination tor govern'
