During the past two administrations

in high favor at the White House. He
generally got all he wanted in the way
of Federal patronage in Georgia from
Hayes and Garfield, but, according to
the Washington correspondent of the
Savannah News, he is considerably
left under Arthnr. While the latter
is cn ihe most pleasant terms with Mr.
Stephens, it has, nevertheless, become
an open secret in Washington that
he does not hesitate to ignore the rec
ommendations of the Georgia com
moner in regard to Federal officers in
this State. It would now seem that
Arthnr is in favor of giving Longstreet

success of the scheme is folly tried,

Imagine that if these papers unajiir-
stood ej^eli other better there would,
not “be much difference - in their
views. “Free Trade’’ with foreign
nations is generally understood to
be a trade free from all taxes or
other obstructions by the govern
ment, whilst some believe that a tax
upon foreign importations for
tingle purpose of paying Unnecessa
ry expensesof the government, apart
of .which is the protection of this
commerce, involving the expense of
our intercourse with foreign nations,
our navy, etc., should bo consider
ed a part of the - necessary expense
of importation, like freights, insu
rance, etc., and ia, therefore, “Free
Trade,’’or trade free from any in
tentional obstruction by the govern
ment with foreign countries.
But the better designation for
such a tax is a “revenne tarilf ” A
tariff for revenue is a tax upon im
ported goods for the sole purpose of
raising the money- to meet (lie wants
of the government. The effect of
such a tariff is, 1st, To increase the
price of goods to the consumer by
the amount;of tax paid on the goods
by the importer to the government
and by him added to their cost.
2nd. The effect upon the manufac
turer of similar articles in this coun
try, is to enable him to sell at the
same price as Ihe foreign made
goods, with the tax, freight, and oth
er expenses added. To illustrate,
suppose a ion ot iron to cost in a
foreign country $20, freight and
other expenses $5, and tariff, or gov
ernment tax, $5—$30. This would
enable iron producers ia this country
to sell theirprodacts of equal quality
for $30 per ton, giving them an ad
vantage over the foreign producer
of $10 per ton, of which $5 for
freight, etc., and $5 because of the
government tax. This advantage
or “protection’’ to the home produc
er is a necessary incident of neces
sary expenses, and necessary rqye-
nue to pay the expenses of gov
ernment, and it; is right, and the
consumer will cheerfully pay the in
creased price of the iron which he
needs. This is the necessary and
proper protection which is given to
honie manufacturers by a revenue
tariff.
A tariff for “protection” is a tax
on imported goods higher than is
necessary for revenue, and in some
cases so high as to prohibit imports
tion and defeat revenue, for the pur
pose of enabling the home mannfac-
tnrer to raise the price of his goods
to the consumer, above the price
which he could get if the. lax or tar
iff was levied for revenue alone.
The effect of such a tax, a “protec
tive tariff’,’’ is,- 1st, to increase the
cost of the goods imported by the
amount of the increase of the tax or
tariff, and thus enable the home
manufacturer to sell his goods to
the consumer at the increased price.
2nd. The increased profits to the
manufacturer, drawn fron/tlie earh-
ing3 of ihe consumer by- the increas
ed price of bis goods, caused by the
partiatlty or unequal “protection”
of the government, will draw capi
tal fronrotlier industries to compete
for the golden prize which the gov
ernment has authorized them to
wring from the less favored indus
tries and labor of tlie great mass of
the people; and this concentration
of Capital ilk favored manufactures
wih cotttliitieunfil tlicfprbflts are ref
duced to the common level of the
profits of other ihdustries. 3rd. The

Editor News and Advertiser:
The question is now being dis
cussed by some of our leading news-
pWpf A whether Free Trade!, asRev-
eii'ncT’aVfff, or ‘ a Protective Tariff,
is best for the United Stales, and es- . ,
pecialjy for the Southern Stales. I ^)nkiiVgC22.per cent on hts invest-
eveu the half of that? None that I
know of. Why then should the
consumers of manutactured goods
be taxed more than the wants of the
government under a revenue tariff,
simply-;to increase the profits, or
protect’^ the manufacturer who is
merit, whilst Ihe consumers, unpro
tected by the government, are many
of,them struggling fora bare living,
and perhaps not one of them mail
ing as much as the manufacturer?
If the statement ot the Telegraph
anil Messenger is correct—that
Northern manufacturers, aided by a
protective tariff, are makiug only 7
per cent, whilst Georgia manufac
turers arc making 22—then it is
New England and not Georgia,
which requires the bolstering or a
protective tariff. If, for instance,
under a'revenue tariff the profits of
New England should he reduced
from 7 per cent, to nothing, manu
facturing in Georgia would still pay-
15 per cent, profit, and the result
would be a transfer of the manufac
turing-industry from the North to
the South,. thereby adding many
millions to our taxable capital and
industries. The argument would'
show that the present protective
tariff -is 1 barely- maintaining our
Northern competitors, and is retard
ing the transfer of manufacturing
capital lo the South.
. But there are certain facts which
induce me to believe that the Tele
graph and Messenger is mistaken as
to the profits of New England man
ufactories and their dependence on a
protective tariff for existence.
These facts are, that they are ship
ping their manufactures to all coun
tries of the civilized world and sell
ing (hem in competition with Eng
land and other nations, not only
without any protective tariff, bat
after paying all the expenses of
transfer and sale, and in some cases
paying a duty to the government of
the country in which they are sold.
A single’instance will be sufficient:,
♦In 1879 our manufacturers exported
to thcDoininion of Canada 23,966,844
yards of plain and printed piece
goods and ginghams, with wearing
apparel and other goods, of the value
of $2,766,779 and sold them there in
competition with British manufac
tures after paying a duty to the Do
minion government of 1 cent per
yard and 15 per cent, ad valorem.
The British exportations of the same
kind of goods tor the same y-far was
22,710,269 yards with wearing appa
rel and other goods amounting to
$3,771,165. Between 1877 and 1879
the exports of British cotton goods
to Canada had decreased $1,212,471,
whilst the exports of the United
Slates to Canada had increased $318,-
848.
During the fiscal yoar 1880, we
exported 69,000,000 yards of plain-
piece goods, and 38,000,000 yards of
prints < with other manufactures,
amounting to $9,981,418, while we
imported only 9,466,000 of plain
piece goods, and 9,346,000 yards of
prints, which were specialities cost
ing. more than our own goods.
During the fiscal year 1881 our ex
ports ,of, American manuf&ctulfed
cotton goods increased beyond the
exports of 1880,42,003,724 yards, and
in value $3,589,369, showing an in
crease of nearly 40 per cent, and
ports and exports.
Let us now examine some of the
arguments in favor of a ^Protective
Tariff. The Macon Telegraph and
Messenger of the 25th ult., under the
head of “Protection and the South,”
states, in substance, that our people
are too poor to furnish capital lor
manufactories^ but since the people
of the North, less than five years
ago, have become satisfied that their
capital’and their persons would be
safe here, there has been a rush
of capital Southward, so that no
country so poor, has advanced as
rapidly as the Sooth since that time;
that as to the South controlling the
manufacture of cotton goods, it is
only a question of time; that if
under the tariff, Georgia mills can
make 22per cent .'when New Eug-
land mills make 7, the inducement
to capital is 15 per cent greater, in
Georgia than in New England:
Now I would like to know if any
oue can make stronger arguments
than these in favor of a revenue
tariff, and against a protective tariff!
local advantages are snch as to give
isiness in Georgia 22 per cent,
profit, and 15 per cent, more of
profit than they caa make in New
(ita)
aggregating 148,583,447 yards of
piece goods, plain and printed, who frthMy acknowlei
which, with other goode, amounted “ A ‘
.in value to $13,571,387.
With these facts before us.showing
that our own manufactures can
compete with other nations in their
own markets, not only without the
incidental protection, which a reve
nue tariff would give them ; but with
the expense of distant transporta
tion, and a Government tax against
them, no valid reason conld be given
why the Government should author
ize an extra tax upon consumers—
“a protective-tariff—for theirbenefit
And it will be seen how purely im
aginary- is the fears of the Telegraph
and Messenger that withont a pro
tective tariff the competition of
England would destroy ihe cotton
manufacturers of this oonniry, and
stop the building of mUls in Geor
gia for twenty years.
Let us consider what .our present
condition and future prospects are.
We ar£_uo,w the second greatest cot
ton manufacturing nation, Great
'Britain being the first In 1880 the
United States cotton manufacturers
were running 10,920,000 spindles
with 181,000 operatives, oonsnming
724,800,000 pounds of raw cotton, and
producing manufactures of the valne
of $233,380,000. Great Britain was
running 40,000,000 spindles with
480,0dffbperatives, value of raw cot
ton $181,312,000 (pounds not stated)
producing manufactures to the value
of $450,000,000.
I quote from the work referred to,
from which ! condensed the above
statistical information, p. 93.
“According to the foregoing
mehts the Unite cTStates, with about
one-foqtth the number of spindles
running, in the United Kingdom,
and with 181,000 operatives against
500,000 British operatives, is credited
with a production, Ihe value of
which is more than one-half that of
the United Kingdom, although in
and a-half yards of British.
-In confirmation of this startling
exhibit, it appears from our census
returns that ihe annual consump-
ti u of raw cotton by the mills of
the United Slates amounts' to. 724,-
800,000 ponnds, or more than one-
half the consumption of the British
mills in 1880. From these returns
it is seen that every American spin
dle consumes 66 pounds of raw cot
ton, whilkeach British spindle con
sumes only- 32 pounds,.or less than
one-half the Atncrican consumption
per spindle.
“It thus appears that each Ameri
can operative makes tip as much
raw material as two British opera
tives; turns out nearly $1.50 worth
ofManufactures lo the British oper-
tives’ $1 worth; and even in piece
goods, where the superior quality
and weight of the American goods
are so marked, the American opera
tive turned out 2.75 yards to 2.50
yards by the British operative.’’
Can there still be any doubt as to
our ability to compete with British
manufactures, not only at home, bnt
in the markets of the world? Onr
manufacturing labor, considering
their effiency, and.tbe more hours of
work in our mills—ranging from60
hours per week in Massachnset(s,to 69
Imtirs per week in other mills, against
55 hours per week in British fac
tories—is really cheaper than British
labor; or, in the language of the
above eked authority (p. 98): “Un
doubtedly the inequalities of the
wages of English and American op
eratives are more than equalized by
the greater effiency of the latter, and
their longer hours of labor.”
We are the producers of about
four-fifths of the raw cotton of the
world. The whole production be
ing estimated at 3,506,000,000 pounds
of which the United States pro
duces 2,700,000,000, -showing that
England and other nations are de
pendent mainly upon us for the ratv-
material, involving expenses of
transportation, etc., and our manu
facturers have a practical monopoly
of the home market for plain and
priuted piece goods, estimated at 40
yards for each person, amounting to
2,000,000,000 yardB.
The final and conclusive argument
against the necessity of a protective
tariff to save onr manufactories from
destruction by English competion in
onr own market, is the facl that our
United States manufacturers in 1875
commenced shipping these goods to
Manchester, England, and selling
them in competition with English
goods in their own markets. In
September, 1876, Consul Crajte,
writes, p. 328: “The materials for
forming an exact statement of the
amount of American goods sold in
Manchester during the year, are*not
accessible, bnt it may be safely stat
ed to be not less than 17,500 packa
ges, containing 400,000 pieces, of
goods of an estimated value of
$1,500,000, gold; and tilts ii exclu
sive of large quantities of
goods which have been sold in Now
York and Boston for various for
eign markets and shipped to (hose
distant markets via. Liverpool-in
transit.’’ : ^
lu October, 1878, Consui Shaw
writes, p. 326: “The America fabrics
beantiftilly made and of great puri
ty, at once met with a liberal recep
tion at the hands of English buyers
their
merits, and they soon became so
fully established in public favor
that they are now to be fdnnd in
most of the leading honses engaged
in the home trade throughout the
Kingdom, and in the principal shops
in nearly every town.’’ Experience,
he says, has confirmedthe favorable
judgment of consumers and" the
bnsiness continues.
This settles the dangerous En
glish competition theory. We are
competing with them in their ofrn
markets, in Canada, in China, and
elsewhere, where onr manufacturers
have made the effort So it may be
shown of other leading “Protected”
industries—copper, iron, steel rails
botton ties, etc., etc. If necessary,
they could succeed against all com
petition on equal terms. With a
revenne tariff^ they will necessarily
have advantages over their foreign
competitors to the amount of the im
port duty added to the_ cost of im
portation. And this incidental ad
vantage, whieh enables them to sell
their goods at higher prices
at home in the United States—not
in England or elsewhere—is neces
sarily a contribution by. the Ameri
can consumers—those engaged in
other industries—not only of the
tax to the government upon the iin-
ported article,hat also a contribution
to theAmerican manufacturers of the
difference in price of similar goods
caused by the tax on for eign
tations. Onr population is 50,i
of whom 181,000/ire ingagtjiin cot
ton manufactures, being a propor
tion of one, to turo Knndijed and sev
enty-six engaged in other occupa
tions. But when revenue to support
the government is the object,
the consumers do not object and the
manufacturers shouid be content,
To increase taxes upon imported
goods beyond the requirements of
the government or beyond the rev-
u H’si'iiUa « »---
enue point, for the purpose of in-
c.-easing. the price of home manu
factured goods to the consumer, is
legalized injustice.
■ As to the effect of such taxes upon
the prosperity of the country—neces
sary taxes to support the Govern
ment are necessary hardens; taxes
which are not necessary for the sup
port of the Government, taxes.lo
benefit one clnss of ciitzens or in
dustries at the cost of others, taxes
of all kinds for any other than the
legitimate needs of the Govern
ment, are not only Unnecessary bur
dens, but they are partial, unjust,
contrary to the letter and spirit of
the Constitution, and obstructive to
the general prosperity of the coi
try.
The United States, within the past
fqw years, owing to their great nat
ural - advantages, the [wonderful
energy of our people, the great in
flux of foreign labor and capita],
the stability of our currency, the
credit of the Government, and oth
er causes, have progressed in man}*
respects beyond all former prece
dent. During this same period, the
great mass of our people have suf
fered under the infliction of a high
protective tariff tax, and have like
wise been robbed by the Govern
ment or its officials, of hundreds of
million -dollars—Pacific railroads,
credit Mobilers, whisky rings, star-
routers, pension frauds, etc., etc.,—
and our progress in prosperity has
not been, because of these wrongs,
but, in spite of them. If since the
war we had been blessed with a
revenue tariff, just taxation and an
honest Government, the people of the
United States would, in all prob
ability, have been one thousand mil
lion dollars better off than they now
are. The passions, engendered by the
war, which blinded the people to
the bad methods of their political
leaders and rulers, have gradually-
subsided, giving place td kindlier
feelings, recognition of common
interests and a common destiny, re
sulting in gradual improvement in
Goverment methods, and giving hope
that the Government may, in the
near, fntnre, be restored to its an
cient purity. Let the South stand
firmly as she has always done, by
the written Constitution which
guarantees to. the people oqual
rights and privileges, and requires
from them equal sacrifices’ for the
necessary support ot the Govern
ment. N. T.

Mr. Blount, unfortunately, is no

Just now there is a great difficulty
in getting good domestic helps, and
it is largely the fault of those who

courage her in it, and pay her for
what she does and Jet her buy her

Ckntlkmkx—For eghteen months I suffered
Intensely with a disease of the kiuneya and a tor
pid liver, and after trying every remedy that I
could hear of, besides being under the treatment
of some of oar ablest physicians, X had about
given up my case as hopelessly incurable, when I
was prevailed upon by my wife to try your Sale
Kidney and Liver Cure. 1 confess that I had but
little faith in its efficacy; but to my great jov and
-satisfaction, after I had commenced ou the second
bottle, I continued the use of the medicine until!
became completely cured. • <3

Thousands of equally strong endorsements—
many of them in cases where hope was abandoned
—have been voluntary given,- showing the re
markable power^if Warner’s Safe Kidney and
Cure, In an 1 disuses of the kidneya, liver

RUST PROOF SEED OATS,
I OFFER for sale ten thousand bushels of
' Genuine Texas Red Rustproof Oats se
lected by a party on the spot with a view to
getting nothing but the genuine article. Tney
are the same quality that I sold so many of
last season, which gave snch general satisfac
tion; in fact I have not heard of a’single in
stance in which they failed giyeperfect satisfac
tion. If reports from the cofn crops out West
are to be credited, the price of corn wlllrt le
much higher next season than it did the past,
lienee the necessity of sowing more Ohts and
earlier than last season, in order to secure a
stand before the freezes come on them. I am
prepared to fill orders for eayly sowing. The
demand for Seed Oats will be unprecedented
ly heavy this season, and X have advices from
Texas or a marked advance in the price of
them, ^nd I think it advisable for those in
need of Seed Oats to secure them at once.
1 will exchange Oats for Cotton Seed, or
will buy all the Cotton Seed I can get, at the
highest market price, for themdi—
