I Hiq Herald and ^dncrtiscu. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Feb 24, 1888. SOME TARIFF NUTS That Our Protection Friends May Crack at Their Leisure. The falsehood and absurdity of the claim is demonstrated. Meantime, while the workingmen of this country have been mulcted in increased prices by the tariff for the benefit of the mil lionaire monopolists, wages in England have increased over 50 per cent, since the same theory was broken up there, and, take the world over, the lowest Detroit Free Press. wages are paid in protective tariff coun- When the war tariff orators declare : tries and the highest in free trade coun- tliat “a surplus is better than a deficit” j tries.

Since the disastrous flood of 1852, when the river cut itself a new bed through the province of Shantung, the government has raised fresh levees along its banks and strengthened them with mattresses, as Captain Eads strengthened the new channel of the Mississippi below New Orleans to the sea. But the Mississippi is a manageable stream as compared with the Yellow river, has no such vast area to overflow', and the larger part of its surplus waters find their way by other channels to the sea. The province of Shantung alone contains an area of sixty-five thousand square and we don’t do it. One bottle will do you good, no matter how you suffer. IMPURE BLOOD. taxes.

Do you k*.ow with what amount without which the people would be a great deal better off. Shall we have cheaper necessaries of life or cheaper harmful luxuries ? Editor Joseph Medill. “When I hear the word‘protection,’I ask: ‘Whom does it protect and who pays for it;’ and fail to see who is ben- fited by it beyond a few monopolists, not equal to 10 per cent, of the entire population of the country. The tariff constitutes a great Chinese wall be tween the American producer and man ufacturer, and a profitable foreign trade. Only a small portion of our cot ton crop, fc>r instance, is consumed at home. The great bulk of it is exported to Great Britain, and thence, in the name of English goods, is sold at a good profit all over the world. Why should not we manufacture these goods, and sell .them to foreign countries? Simply because we levy such a high import tax upon every article which is a factor in their production, that Great Britain easily undersells us, and the home consumer has to pay the enhanc ed price, besides.” Chicago Tribune It is notorious that the worst paid labor in the United States is that em ployed in the high protection indus tries. Beggarly wages forced Ameri cans out, of the mills and factories of New England to give place to the Irish, whose discontent was expressed in strikes until they were made to give way to the wretched, superstitious, priest-ridden Freneh-Canadian import ed operatives, who can live on less and endure more than any oth er class the mill barons have yet found. Woman and child labor is the distinc tive curse of the industries having ’the heaviest tariff protection. New Eng land has two strongly distinguished classes of population—tariff-protected monopolists and coupon-clippers, so rich that they don’t know how to spend their money, and the pauper factory hands who never get a cent’s worth of protection out of the tariff. New York World. The Republican Senators and news papers evade discussion of the “condi tion” that called forth the President’s message, and direct their attention to a “theory” that is wholly irrelevant. The main question is the surplus. The Treasury balance is over $85,000,000. Government is collecting $500,000 a day, of capital it started? Less than $1,- 000,000. IIow did it acquire the other $119,000,000? By a system of highway robbery and crime such as no civilized country ought to tolerate. Individual enterprises, lionest competition, trans portation lines, refineries and pipe lines were all trampled to death un der its merciless march to aggrandize ment. Look at the sugar trust to-day. Do you want to investigate that? Summon the Havemeyers with their books. Ask them two questions—First, what was the value of their plant when they went into the trust; second, what are the profits they are receiving out of it ? Why, the total plant of all the re fineries only amounted to $16,000,000; and then, when you are done with the Standard Oil company and t-lie cotton seed oil trust and the sugar trust, take up the rubber trust, with a capital of fifty millions; and then, when you have done with that, take up the lead trust, and the linseed oil trust, and the slate trust, and the oil-clotli and salt, trusts, an 1 scores of others organizing daily with all the speed they can, in order to anticipate any action of Congress. I tell you Congress will have adjourned and another Congress will have met and adjourned before you will hardly have commenced the investigation. They will form trusts quicker than you can follow them. I assert the time has arrived for action. The country is looking to Congress for relief, and the hour of deliverance is at hand if you will only realize the magnitude of the sub ject before you. Listen to the voice of a suffering people, appealing to their representatives to rescue them from the clutches of the most dangerous monopolies that have ever raised their forms upon the soil.” The Great Flood in China. The brief telegrams which have told of the overflow of the Yellow river, in China, gave no proper idea of what seems to have been the most disastrous calamity history records. The scene is so remote that even great events liap- peniug there excites little interest in this country, but this disaster is so overwhelming in extent that details of it must excite pity in all parts of the world. The following is from the Bal timore Sun: lation, and that of Honan, with twenty- three millions of inhabitants, dwelling in the great plain through which the Yellow river flows, that the destruction recorded by the papers fell. The break in the river occurred four hundred miles inland from the sea, near Cheng Chow, a third-class city in Honan. There had been incessant rains for ten days, tne embankments were sodded, all the local streams were filled to overflowing, and added tlieir waters to those of the Yellow river. The pressure of the water on a bend of the river broke through the protecting fascines, and speedily made a breach twelve hundred yards wide, through which was emptied the whole contents of the river into the plain. Then followed the greatest disaster that China has ever experienced. Below Changman a hundred villages were swallowed up, and three hundred inundated. Seventy miles below fifteen hundred, other villages were submerged. The flood then passed over other districts equally densely populated, and from Hung Hai to the sea the loss of life and property was enormous. In the prov ince of Honan it is estimated that from one to two millions perished, and it is stated from Pekin that the total loss is put at seven millions. Surely, since the first deluge, no such frightful dis aster ever before occurred among any people known to history. A Case in Florida Cured by 1>. 1!. li Eveklyn.Near Lrunswick.Ga. May, 1SS7.

SPLENDID FOR A SPRING TONIC. A wicked tariff-reform writer says: “Wlien a sewing-woman slips on her thimble (taxed 25 per cent.) and threads her needle (taxed 25 per cent.) with thread (taxed 55 per cent.) and snips it off with scissors (taxed 35 per cent.), and sews a button (taxed 25 per cent.) on her husband’s winter flannel shirt (taxed 68 per cent.), she is quite uncon scious in her effort to get on in the world how the blessed tariff bears down upon her.” It is certainly high time to distribute a basket of protection tracts among the poor sewing-women.

I saw one man who said he was cured by using Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B. B) and I commenced using it. and the pain is a great deal less. I have only used two bottles, and I believe it will effect a cure by the use of a few more bottles. Yours respectfully, J. E. Coleman. Cadiz, Ky.. July 6, 1887.

M v l ittle son, 14 years of age, suffered from an acute attack of rheumatism,caused by undue exposure and chilling of the blood. I heard your remedy highly recommended, and pur chased a bottle from Moncrief & Bro., Pres cott, Ark. In about one month, alter using this bottle he became so much better that 1 got the second bottle, which is now being us ed, itnd my son is nearly well, and 1 think by removing him to a cooler summer climate (which I will do) and continuing its use, a perfect cure will be effected. I consider B.B. B. a most excellent blood purifier. Ciias. 11. Titus, It. R. Agt. Boughton, Ark. Send for our Rook of Wonders, free to all. Address, BLOOD BALM COMPANY, Atlanta, Ga.
