tension of credit; a fourth has taken
the benefit of the bankrupt law, and all
these may be virtuous, God-fearing
men, who have -endeavored to act hon
estly and avert the crisis, but have had
at length to yield to the pressure under
which others have succumbed.. The
distinction between fraudulent insolv
ency and that which is brought abopt
by the malpractice of others, is not
made by the world in its cold-hearted
ness, and in which the honest trades
man is often overwhelmed and ruined.
In either case the hard-hearted credit
ors demand with a Shylock’s rapacity
their pound of fiosh, rejecting all prom
ises to pay, refusing to aid in retrieving
a worthy debtor’s failing fortune, and
by bis goading demands driving ofttimes
to despair and ruin those be should
have assisted. Men are not all of this
character, however. There is still some
humanity left; there are creditors who,
actuated by the principles of the gos
pel, when they find honesty coupled
with misfortune, will stoop to raise the
fallen one and encourage him to renew
ed efforts. Verily, the righteousness
of such exceeds that of t lie Scribes and
Pharisees of the present day, many of
whom perhaps make long and devout
prayers, and are very devout and con
sistent so long as they are not asked to
contribute something or - deny them
selves; bqt who would not hesitate to
grind the face of honest poverty, if un
fortunate enough to be his debtor for
a bill of goods.
Wliat is bankruptcy? Like some
ghostly visitant it stalks abroad, felt
though invisible, through business cir
cles and into stores and dwellings, .with
a powerful hand shutting up shops and
vacating counting-house desks, labeling
with the placard of “Sheriff’s Sale” the
mansions of the rich as well as the
humbler dwellings, of the poor; casting
a shadow over happy households and
rendering even childhood less joypus.
Under its malign influence banks sus
pend . and savings institutions close
their doors against those who but yes
terday entrusted all their hard earning.?
to their safe-keeping. Penury and want
often follow" in the wake of this shad
owy reality as it passes through the
land; the sick are unrelieved; the poor
are left to beg or steal or die; the rich
are reduced to poverty or instigated to
deceptions in order to retain in their
avaricious grasp a part of that which
belongs to others. Such are the con
sequences of bankruptcy. It cannot be
disputed that in a great majority of
cases it is the result of overtrading, of
undue speculation or profligate expen
diture; and yet this propensity for
scheming and speculating with means
that are not legitimately their own is
winked at by business men, sanctioned
by custom, and encouraged by those
who would take advantage of their
victim. But is there no remedy for
all this? Yes. Pay cash for all
you buy, and buy nothing that you
cannot pay for. What right has one
man to live in a palace, or drive a
handsome carriage, or keep three or
four servants, when he has not means
of Jus own to support the establish
ment? What right has a poor man to
run up a bill at a dry goods store or
grocery store when lie has no means to
pay ? Here is where all the mischief
lies. The credit system is an evil that
has been for years entailed upon the
community, until it seems a necessity
in business circles; but it is like the
vampire that sucks the blood of its vic
tim at the same time it lulls him into a
soft slumber. It is this that under
mines credit, destroys confidence, dis
arranges the wheels of trade, and floods
the market with due bills and promisso
ry notes. Once a man’s word was suffi
cient to insure the payment of a debt;
afterwards it required a written prom
ise; then, as the paper transactions in
creased in number and amount, and
men found how convenient it was to
give notes instead of paying cash, banks
became more scrupulous, and men, too,
losing confidence in each other, requir
ed endorsements on their notes or ad-
tional securities in the shape of collat
erals or mortgages to make the promise
to, pay effectual.
The principle degenerates into fraud
only when men resort to deception,
and practice wickedness;—when they
purchase without means or intention
to pay; when they spend in personal
business or extravagance what belongs
to others. In the broadest sense of the
term, a man has no right to buy for
himself food or clothing even, much less
the luxuries of life, if he has not the
means of his own. If men resorted to
no extravagance, all could live within
their means. If a man whose income
is only eight dollars a week knew that
he could not buy on credit, he would
soon learn to make his eight dollar last
through the week. There would be no
temptation to sppnd more than he earn
ed. If a merchant knew that he could
not get his spring or fall supply of goods
without paying cash for it, he would
manage to save during the year enough
to make the purchase, or else would
buy less. The direct result of all this
* would be, that each would do a safe
business. It might be smaller in vol
ume, but it would be for cask Theme-
in their business transactions, it would ;
save them many a sleepless hour and

The old

Democratic
State of
Virginia, the mother of States and
atesmen, has, through her late
State Convention, declared for protec

at home’, the development of our mate-
•1 1 J- . 1 frv
rial products, and just compensation to

The Thieving Tariff.
The tariff question has been one of
momentous magnitude for men of vast
and varied experience, who have made
it a subject of special study; therefore,
I am not so vain as to think that I can
successfully measure swords with them.
Nevertheless, I will give you some of
my ideas on the same, taking issue with
no individual, but with the question it
self.
There is something in a tariff for rev
enue that will admit of argument. In
a high protective tariff there is abso
lutely nothing that can commend itself
to a native, freeborn American citizen.
It is a measure wholly un-American in
its entirety—a measure that was in
vogue even before the days of the feu
dal ba rons, by a race of people who had
their kingdom (if I may call it such,)
entirely on the ocean and levied toll on
all who came into or crossed their ter
ritory. In the “Life of Benj. Franklin”
there are whole chapters about the hard
times and the scarcity of money. In
those days this country belonged to
England. Was England free trade then?
If it was, why does Franklin give ac
counts of the capture of smugglers,
their trial and execution? Had the
policy of the country been favorable to
free trade would there have been any
crime in, or necessity for, smuggling ?
I will admit that a protective tariff
was a good measure for the United
State.-, in the country’s infancy; but
are. the manufacturing industries of the
country yet so weak as to need protec
tion ? It has been a good measure, but
its days of usefulness are over and it
should be relegated to the past. Free
trade, absolute free trade, would be the
greatest boon that tlie South could ask
What would be the result of free trade ?
I will admit that it would temporarily
close the majority of the manufacturing
enterprises in the North; but the North-
ern manufacturer, shrewd and cateula
ting, would at once recognize tlie ad
vantages of manufacturing facilities
in the South, where most of
the raw material used in cotton
and iron manufactures is produc
ed. Tlie saving of freight on the raw
material alone will more than compen
sate them for the loss of protection now
guaranteed under the tariff laws. Biit
that is not the only advantage that the
South can offer them. Our rents are
cheaper, our fuel is cheaper, our win
ters are not half so long or severe, our
laborers are more temperate and more
tractable. There are numerous other
advantages, but it would require more
time than I have at my command to
mention them.
Give us free trade and the Northern
manufacturer will gather up his belong
ings and move Southward, where, with
his native shrewdness and experience,
he will soon have a larger and better
paying business than ever. Factories
and furnaces will then spring up all
over the country and our bonny South
land will fairly teem with prosperity.
Then, indeed, will the South become a
veritable Eldorado—a land that will
literally flow with milk and honey.
Will any sane man deny these advan
tages? Admitting them, can he suc
cessfully controvert them without turn
ing advantages into disadvantages, and
facts into fallacies ?

Now, Mr. Editor, if I had had the
writing of those resolutions I could not
have used language that would more
fully represent my views, or the views
of protectionists, generally, than is con
tained in the two resolutions above;
and if all the Southern States, like Vir
ginia, would set up such platforms and
demand of the next National Demo
cratic Convention to do the same thing,
then the candidate put upon it will be
invincible.
Protectionists wish to produce every
thing in the country for which the God
of nature has given us the raw material,
or which is suited to our soil and cli
mate. We are in favor of a protective
tariff to secure to American citizens the
privilege of supplying every article
which can be produced as well in the
United States in other countries, and
sufficiently to supply American wants.
Such a tariff makes a demand for and
gives employment to the labor of Amer
ican citizens, and thereby aids in secur
ing just compensation for labor. They
denounce a tariff for revenue only, and
which demands an indiscriminate re
duction in all duties on imported arti
cles, the effect of which would be to
encourage importation, thus giving
American patronage to foreign produc
ers and foreign labor rather than to our
own. No industry can prosper by con
verting its customers into competitors.
Protectionists do not want a tariff be
cause we have manufactories to which
we wish to give a monopoly; but we
have manufactories because we have
had a tariff, and they still contend for
a tariff that we may have more manu
factories, so as to fully develop all our
resources and supply all our wants bv
home productions of all essential arti
cles of consumption. Free trade, or
any tariff that would not make the bal
ance of trade in our favor, would be
treason to American progress and pow
er, because it would withhold employ
ment from multitudes of men and wo
men who work for their living, the
profits of whose labor constitute the
wealth of the nation. If the South
does not discard the teachings of Mor
rison, Carlisle and Watterson and adopt
the views of Sam J. Randall, then the
Democracy will be left in a hopeless
minority; because the American people
know which side of their bread is but
tered, and will not consent to be turn
ed out to starvation and bankruptcy by
the teachings of men who are in sympa
thy with Lord Derby and the Cobden
Club.
I assert, Mr. Editor, and none will
contradict me, that the third resolution
of the Virginia platform, which relates
to the tariff, is the most explicit one
and entirely devoid of duplicity or am
biguity,) on that great question that
has ever emanated from a Democratic
Convention, State or National. There
is no uncertain sound in it. It lias the
ring of the true metal, and will triumph
and abide. The principles of that reso
lution, if carried out, will continue to
add momentum to the progress, and
strength to the power, of the United
States already possessed in a considera
ble measure, and make us the richest
and most powerful nation on earth in
the course of a few decades.

It strikes us that the true Democratic
idea is opposed to the oppression of the
masses by a favored class, which enjoy
a monopoly such as wicked kings were
wont to bestow on favorites to the op

The infant (?) industries of the coun
try are like the bull that the old Greek
commenced to carry up the hill* when
it was a calf, and each day until the
bull had attained its growth the Greek
staggered up the hill with his burden;
and when fully grown he carried it just
to see if he could. Now, such foolish
ness is all Greek. The practical English
style, after the protected industries be
come grown, is to stop favoring them
and harness them in the car of progress
by placing them on an equal footing
witli other industries, and employ the
strength developed in the exercise of
“toting” them to some more useful
purpose.
The strength of the country is being
severely taxed to carry the great bur

Mr. Henry W. Grady, of the Atlanta
Constitution, is reported to have said to
a New York reporter:
“But of the tariff, you can say Geor
gia, and Alabama, i'or that matter, will
adopt the Virginia platform. AVe
don't go much on the Kentucky plat
form.”
Now, if Mr. Grady has any license to
speak for Georgia in this matter the
people know nothing about it. The
truth is, Mr. Grady has simply erred in
making such a statement. Tlie people
of Georgia are strongly in favor of
reduction of the tariff. Mr. Grady, or
the paper with which he is connected,
is attempting to persuade the people
that they are wrong. The people, howev
er, are intelligent enough to know their
own interest, and will try to work out
their own salvation. Georgia and Ala
bama will not adopt the Virginia plat
form. Tlie people of these two sister
States are*too Democratic to advocate
such a doctrine. Virginia has gone
wrong more than once, but Georgia
and Alabama are Democratic to tlie
core. Tariff reform will be unmistaka
bly written in the platforms of both of
these States.

Neither Expedient Nor Bight.
Albany. Ga., News and Advertiser.
The liigh protective organs keep con
stantly before the public mind the fact
that the Northern States have grown
rich and prosperous uuder protection,
and urge that it is expedient for the
South to take advantage of the same
conditions to increase its industrial en
terprises and grow rich from the profits
which protection vouchsafes.
In the first place, if every section of
this broad country should embark in
industrial enterprises, then there would
be no special section on which to lay
tribute as the North has steadily done
to the South, but the injustice of legal
ized robbery would be practiced on our
neighbors and friends engaged in other
lines of business. This would localize
the injustice, and, as protection cannot
increase profits in foreign markets, the
country could not be enriched, as its
effect would be to “rob Peter to pay
Paul.”
On this line the Charleston News and
Courier has editorially probed deeply
into the nation’s wound, and laid bare

We have been selling Dr. King s New

There have been some wonderful cures
effected by these remedies in this city.

a few bottles of Dr. King’s New Dis
