A ROSEBUD IMMORTAL.
statement I think I have shown conclu
sively that American merchants are
not excluded from the markets of the
world by our protective duties.
Bexj. Leigh.
MINNA HIVING.
We slood in a garden at morning,
A garden ail golden and green;
Tlie leaves in tlie wind sang together,
Hrr laughter made music between.
She was robed in the white of the lilies,
Her eyes, like the heavens, were blue,
And around her in the sweetness unfolded
The roses, a-glltter with dew.
I prayed for a hud and she gave it
With a smile, and a blush, and a sigh;
I caught and I kissed her white Ungers,
There trembled a tear in her eye.
Then the gardener, ancient and wrinkled,
Came clipping the boxwood and yew,
And she went, and a cloud drifted over,
And the sparkle died out of t lie dew.
My locks are a-glimmer with silver.
My life is unbrightened by love,
For, still in tlie robes of the lilies,
She sings with the angels above.
In a book in my bare little attic,
I.ald in with a leaflet of rue.
Is a rosebud that never unfolded,
For the lack of tlie sunlight and dew.
That is all; she is dead like the rosebud,
And my love for her never was told,
But my dream of the glory of heaven
;s of her at the gateway of gold.
She stands with her feet in the blossoms,
And waitetli to welcome me through,
And give me a rosebud Immortal,
Ktnrred over with diamonds of dew.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Protection Stimulates Trade.
Mr. Editor:—It is asserted by low
tariff men that the trade of this Coun
try wit li oilier nations is restricted by
our protective policy. In the spring of
1833 the tariffs of 1824-28 were modified,
and the panic of 1837 was preceded by
three years of enormous importa
tions of foreign merchandise and of
small exports. Our imports for 1835,
1836 and 1837 were $443,816,252, while
our total exports during those three
years were only $301,311,318 leaving a
balance against us of $142,504,934. I he
panic of 1857 was likewise preceded by
large importations of merchandise and
comparatively small exports. Oui im
ports during 1856, ’57 and 58 amounted
to $916,669,360, while our exports dur
ing those years were but $738,095,899,
leaving a balance against us of
$178,573,461. Our imports of mer
chandise from 1S48 to 1861, inclusive,
a low tariff period, were $3,390,516,691
and our exports were $2,924,543,721,lea\-
ing a balance against us of $465,972,970,
about $320,000,000 of which was paid
in coin. So, the reader can see
that during all these years of low' taiiff
our imports wore larger than oui ex
ports; showing that our trade was very
much restricted with the nations of
the earth compared with the high tariff
period of protection, as I will directly
show. From 1862 to 1872, covering the
war period, we imported $4,006,92S,710
and exported$3,041,456,231, the balance
against us being $965,472,478, which was ;
paid in coin and bonds; but this balance
against us during a high tariff period
was due to the war. From 1873 to 1883,
inclusive, our exports were $7,482,798,-
S23 and our imports were $6,305,8Sl,47o,
leaving a balance of trade in our favor
of $1,176,887,351. So it is clearly shown
that we trade more with .the nations
* during a high tariff than under a low
tariff. That is, we sell more toother
nations under a high tariff than under
a low’ one; consequently our protective
system does not shut us out from the
markets of the world as is often assert-
• ed by the low' tariff men.
Previous to 1S61, at which time we
adopted tile high tariff, nearly all the
gold and silver we produced was ex
ported to pay off the balance of trade;
since then, with the exception of a few
years during and after the war, (when
our Government bonds were being
largely purchased abroad,) we have not
only kept our gold and silver at borne,
but have received from foreign coun-
* tries more than we have sent them, the
balance of trade being in our favor, and
hence we have a larger volume, of coin
in the country at the present tune than
ever before.
Under a low tariff we stimulate for
eign industries by letting foreign man
ufacturers supply us with goods, and
we rob our country of its coin to pay
> f or these goods, thus bring on panics,
bankrupting those in debt, and causing
periods of business depression; while
under a high tariff we stimulate home
industries, let our own manufactuieis
supply us with goods, keep our money
at home, and allow the gold and silver
from our mines gradually to increase
our volume of currency as the popula-
■ tion and business increase.
of the most vital
must have a showing at the nomination
of our candidates; for we must be pre
pared to vote solid—that is, tlie Cleve
land Democrats,—as we have Benedict
Arnolds in our ranks, and the Repub
lican party is already’ organized. IN e
will have to meet as strong and formid
able opposition in Georgia as in any of
the Southern States, and more, for we
have more manufactories a*d nearly
as many mines, and we may count on
them as solid against us. Then, there
are men amongst us who don’t know
how much poverty and suffering there
is among the people, nor do they seem
to care; for they will join with those
who are benefited by a protective tariff,
unless we do as we did before the war:
meet in mass, have our platforms
and make our candidates tell us how
they stood upon them. IVe should
al have such before we nominate
any candidate for office, and have
him pledged to carry them out as fully
as he can. Let us have a mass meeting
at Newnan, on the first Tuesday in
May, and I hope you will recommend
that every county in tlie State do
the same.
I see that my old friend, Benj. Leigh,
is fighting in favor of high tariff, and
against what he calls free trade, which
is now the issue before the people of
the United States. He thinks he has
shown conclusively that a “low tai'iff
makes high goods.” I will help him out,
for he sadly needs help. lie has refer
red to the Democratic tariff of 1846 to
1S61. This low Democratic tariff raised
the price of cotton from. 3£c to 16c.,
and we poor people, who were crushed
nigh unto death by the NN hig tariff of
1840 and 1842 and which brought cotton
down from 16|c. to 34c., had our pock
ets full of money and bought every
thing we wanted, and this caused com
petition between our people and all
who had money. 1 agree that it
will not bring the price of cotton, nor
flour, nor corn, nor mules up to raise
the tariff, but it will bring them down
and keep them down; but it brings up
the tilings we can’t raise and must
have. Besides, a great many things
we raise, and which can’t be raised
elsewhere, are rendered almost worth
less by this tariff. Cotton, for instance,
is raised only in the Southern States,
and is used all over the civilized world.
If we only had free trade, cotton would
make this country the great centre of
civilization. But God, in Ilis wisdom,
lias made this world so that man can-

“La, Mi'S," responded the du
tendant, “dat ain’t no man; leastwise!
not a real, sure-enough man; dat’s Dr.
Mary Walker.”
“Well, what in the world does she .
dress like that for ?” queried the still
irate young lady.
“Why, dat’s because she's a doctor."
“So am I a doctor.”
“Yes, but she’s a rale, genuwine doc- 1
tor, just like a man. She's got a dis- j
ploma.”
“I don’t care, diploma or no diplo-1
urn, she’s got to come out of there be-J
fore I’ll go in, and I wish you’d tell
her so. I’m not going to make my toi-!
let in the same room with trousers,
whoever has them on.”
Fortunately, this message was not
delivered exactly, <>r Dr. Mary IN alker’s
stubbornness might have kept her in
that dressing-room up to the present
hour.

not enjoy life on this earth fully with
out free trade; for we cannot raise all we
need, and cannot be happy without it.
We raise, however, what others should
have and cannot be happy without. We
are naturally social beings and cannot
be happy without making others happy.
Solomon had sense enough to know
this, and he made more people happy
and was happier himself than any other
man; for he made peace with the world
by establishing free trade with all na
tions. It will “beat the sword into the
ploughshare and the spear into the
pruning hook,” as it did with him; so I
say, “Fling wide ye twelve gates and
let the King of Peace come in.”
1 think from the speech of our Hon
orable Joseph E. Brown in the Senate,
that he understands Jefferson, Wash
ington, Madison, Monroe and Jackson
in an entirely different light from what
he did when we elected him when he
first came before the people of Georgia
for office. But then he was fresh from
the plow, and his Gaddistown bull.
Long since he declared that it was un
just to collect revenue by a tariff; for
it would rob the poor to give to the
rich. Then we old-time Democrats
would holler for “free trade and sail
ors’ rights,” and we would beat any
one who dared to run against him. But
he sees very differently now. It must be
that his golden spectacles have revers
ed his vision. I think if we would hold
a State Convention and let him know’
that we saw and felt that it was wicked
to give him a chance to work for
himself, when we pay him so high
to work for us, he would either join
Colquitt and work for the poor farmers
and laborers as well as the rich, or he
