The Democrats of Wilkes county have
asked candidates for the Legislature to de
clare themselves on the tariff*. One of
them, Mr. W. M. Sims, in a card published
in the Washington Chronicle, says:
I am in favor of reducing the tariff, first, on
the necessaries of life, so as to afford relief to
the great hotly of our people, fcmainly
agriculturists, who, under the present system,
pay enormous tariff tuxes on all they have to
buy, and receive in return no protection on
what they produce or have to sell.
This is good Democratic talk. Mr. E.Y.
