In fiJo debate on the tariff bill of 1828, Mr. Benton said, in opposition to the bill. “Virginia, the two Carolinns and Georgia inay be said to defray three- fourths of tiie annual expense of sup porting the federal government; and of this great sum annually furnished by them, nothing, or next to nothing, is returned to them in the shape of government expenditure. That ex penditure flows in an opposite direc tion; it flows northwardly in a uni form, uninterrupted and perennial stream. * Federal legislation does all this; it does it by tlie simple process of eter nally taking away from the South, and returning nothing for it. * * As the earth .is dried up, and all vegeta tion destroyed in regions where tlie heat is great, and no^lews returned, go must the South-be exhausted of its money and its property by a course of legislation which is for ever taking from it, and never returning anything for it. - ’ In the same debate Mr. McDuffie said: “I cannot hesitate fora moment to pronounce this very system of in direct bounties tlie most stupendous instrument of corruption ever placed in the hands of public functionaries. It brings ambition and avarice and wealth into a combination, which it is fearful to contemplate, because it is almost impossible to resist.” This was a true prediction of tlie illustrius McDuffie. The combination of wealthy manufacturers against the farming interest has been too power ful to be resisted successfully. Tlie utterances of an inspired prophet were never more literally ful tilled. In the debate on the tariff bill of 1832, Mr Bennett depicited tlie condi tion of tlie agricultural class in tlie West: “Tlie fine effects of tlie high tariff upon the prosperity of the West have been celebrated on this floor; with how much reason let facts respond, and the people judge. * * We have no money! and that is a tale which has been told too often here. * r Why have our farmers no money Have they no exports? Nothing to send abroad? Certainly they have ex ports. * * Behold this double line of exports [cattle and wheat], and ob serve the refluent currents of gold and silver which result from them! Mill ions are the amount which is annual ly poured into the West from these double exportations; enough to cover the face of the earth witli magnilicent improvements, to cram every indus trious pocket with gold and silver. But where is this Money? for it is not in the country. Where does it go? for go it does, and scarcely leaves a ves tige of its transit behind. Sir, it goes to the Northeast! to the seat of tlie American system! there it goes! and thus it goes.’’ This is just as true|today, asit was50 yearsago. The ugriculturistshavepaid $3,000,000,000 (three millions of dollars) its ownsrs; aftd when idle Jt tonsil nothing that human labor produces, but tho families of the men who aro hired to operate it starve while it is idle and while Its ownesr hold tufjf surplus products till scarcity f higher prices, which must come competition from abroad is prohl by protective tariff legislation.” On the same occasion Speaker Carlisle responded to the toast “Amer ican industries—their growth and prosperity cannot be promoted by unnecessary and unequal taxation.” Among other things he said; “American industries—and by these I mean to include every honest and useful occupation—cannot be promo ted by any system of taxation or any policy of legislation which discrimi nates between them and compels one to contribute a part of its own earn-i ings to increase the profits or prevent losses in another * It is not difficult to see how a system which prevent* competition and therefore increased prices may enable any individual who haB capital involved in a parties lar industry to realize profits instead of suffering losses, but it is manifest that this must always be done at the expense of the consumers of his pro ducts, who are also, as a general rule, engaged in industrial pursuits. * The other industries, therefore, not only make good his losses, bnt pay Jf^d that th him a profit besides, thus giving him meat have toJibs T6r investing his capital and very and waisting his skill and labor in an unprofitable business. * Many val uable industries whicli would have flourished without it have been tor tured todeatli by its unequal burdens and unjust discriminations, while others have been crushed by the com bination and monopolies which it creates and sustains. Some have prospered in spite of it, but the sum of the people’s wealth, the aggregate accumulation of savings in ail branch es of industry, is undoubtedly much less than it ought to have been, and would have been under a more liberal and equal revenue system. A few have become very rich, but many have become very poor, and the gulf between luxury anil penury is grow ing wider anil deeper day by day. The unnatural and dangerous condi tion of affairs could not possibly exist in a young and rapidly developing country like ours if the law anil regu lations affecting the creation and dis tribution of Avealth were just and equal in their operation. Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, April 11, 1887. Editor Union-Rkcordkr: During the Democratic Administra- POETRY. The following beautiful lines were sent to us for publication, by a lady who had tlie misfortune, a year or two since, to lo6S within three weeks of each other two dear little ones who had taken complete posses sion of hur heart’s beat affections. There are suggestive thoughts and tender allu sions in tuese lines-which tend toglvecom- fort to those who have suffsred similar bereavement. “TWO” Two litttle darlings laid to rest Deep in the graveyard lone; Two little cheruhs robed In while, before the Great White Throne. Two little vacant chairs are left beside the lonely hearth; Two little half worn pairs of shoes— Oh who can tell their worth? Two little stores or treasured toys Are sadly laid away; Two littlo prattling tongues are .still That called “mamma" all day. L’wo l.ttle golden harps are tuned To sing the Savior’s praise; Two little angel voices there Their hymns of glory raise. Two little pairs of snowy wings Shall come In dreams of love; Two little chords of love lot down To draw sad hearts above. Two lonley, crushed and bleeding hearts With anguish sorely riven: Dear Savior reach in pity down And draw them up to Heaven. Cheaper ami Hotter Than Wall Paper.

We especially commend to pur readers tlie card which will be found in another column, and would advise them to send fur sample card, price list, etc. axe open for business. Speaking of sight-seeing in the Ittusnts, I often think how mo- nous must be the duties of those Isis who are delegated to exhibit. .0 objects of interest to visitors, they show wonderful freshness •bout the time-worn business. There Is nothing perfunctory about the man who exhibits the rogues’ gallery, or the piles of counterfeit money, or the secret service room, and only a per son who has a party of friends to es- oort there about once a year can real ise how many times he lias told the somethings over, yet, always with an unfailing brightness of expression and qualntness of humor. Senator Cockrell's investigating committee (the Senate Select Com mittee which is now probing- the methods of work in tlie different Ex ecutive Departments of tlie Govern ment) lias undertaken a gigantic task, but it will make an elaborate re port of its labors some time iu the fu ture. The Missouri Senator is a very conscientious, pains taking man, and he is giving the public offices much annoyance and no little uneasiness. He wants to know (you know) and the number of things tlie public don't know and that Senator Cockrell will have a great deal of trouble in finding out. is astonishing. Tne complaint is often made now tfiat there is too much “red tape." A hat the employes of the Govern- ‘save yery few hours to work, cry ilfttle work within those hours as compared with peiwoW em ployed in similar capacities by private business concerns. But such annoy ing features are inseparably connect ed witli tlie theory of Government work. It must be put through by processes as nearly mechanical as possible, so that tlie death or removal of a clerk may not throw an entire of fice out of gear, anil so that tlie dis honesty of any one employe will lie discovered when tlie work on which he practised it is turned over to an other for tlie next stage of its pro gress. All tills involves l lie reduction of business to infinite detail and its dis tribution among a multitude of peo ple. If Senator Cockrell and ids com mittee can find a way of simplifying these processes their discovery will be warmly welcomed. Tlie results of their iaborcannot fail to be of value and will certainly be of interest, abound ing in information which, to tlie gen eral public, is now in tiie nature of a sealed book. Tiie committee is not expected to pass judgment upon the law, but in cidentally tlie operations of the law will come under the purview of tin- committee, and tlie latter will lie ex pected to answer such questions as the following. Is the Government any better served—tlie public busi ness more rapidly expedited, tlie mor als or tiie methods of tlie several De partments in any respect tlie gainer— now that what is called tlie “spoils system” lias been done away with? It is a matter of no small impor tance. Tiie people are tolil tiiat tlie civil service law, in its classified appli cation, is working wonders of reform but they have only hearsay evidence to that effect. They are assured that it is doing away with a great deal of favoritism, relieving tlie appointing power of much embarrassment, puri fying the channels of patronage, anil, elevating tlie standard of clerical mer it. They are interested iu knowing whether civil service reform is really all that its friends claim, or whether it is a sham anil a humbug as its ene mies insist.

About six days after the drawing he learned that he had drawn $15,000. He came to Auburn and ordered the money sent to the banking house of William H. Seward & Co. The $15,000 was forwarded in gold.
