Henry Clay—The Tariff.
Perhaps no man ever lived in tlie
United States except General Wash
ington, who had more devoted friends
than the great Henry Clay, of Ken
tucky. No man was ever more ar
dently supported for the Presidency
than Mr. Clay, and yet he never
reached that exalted station. More
than all other things put together, ids
support of the protective tariff caused
his defeat, and yet lie united with
Mr. Calhoun, botli working, faithful
ly, for the common good, caused the
enactment of the Act to modify the
act of the 14th of July, 1832, and all
other acts imposing duties on imports.
This is generally known as the Com
promise Act, its object being to effect
a gradual reduction of duties. It em
bodied the following provisions: ‘From
and after 81st of December, 1833, on
all articles where the duties shall ex
ceed twenty per centum ad valorem,
a deduction of one-tenth of such ex
cess should be made. From and after
31st of December, 1835, another 10th
part to be deducted; from and after
31st of December, 1837, another tenth
part to be deducted; from and after
tlie 31st of December, 1839, another
tenth part to bededucted; from and af
ter December 31, 1841, one-half of the
residue to be deducted; from and after
31st of ’December, 1842, the other half
to he deducted; thus bringing all arti
cles down to a uniform rate of 20 per
centum ad valorem. This act, which
we copy from the record of the laws,
was approved 2nd of March 1833. The
vote, in the House of Representatives
on its passage, stood as follows: yeas,
119; nays, 85. The vote in the Senate
was yeas, 29; nays 10. Not a vote, in
either House from the Southern
states, was cast, against it. Mr. Clay
acted under the impulse of a senti
ment at one time expressed by him:
“1 would rather be right than Presi
dent.” It was his adherence to this
sentiment that prevented his being
elected tlie Chief Magistrate of the
United States.
In looking over the vote, we find
John t^uineey Adams, the Everetts,
the Storrs, Choate, Tipton, Webster,
and all the leading Whigs of tlie
North voting solidly against Clay’s
and Calhoun’s great compromise
measure.
Mr, Clay stood as firm as tlie Rock
of Gibraltar He was the Hero of
that great political struggle for tlie
right, for justice anil peace. He and
tlie mighty logician, Calhoun, in the
majesty of their logic, the energy of
their efforts, standing, eacli six feet
and two or three inches in height,
bound the Senate and crowded audi
tories in the viewless chains of their
matchless eloquence, gaining the
grandest mental victory evor achieved
in the history' of our national polemic
struggles. Time wore on and at the
expiration of the ten years peace, the
sober spirit of healthy justice and re
form gave way before tlie robbing
dogmas of the greedy protectionists-
and the peace anil happiness and pros
perity of the country was again in
vaded with the most revolting ef
frontery. Calhoun and Clay are sleep,
ing in their graves while some of the
obsequious followers of the “Infant
XJrew” are clamoring for pap, in the
States they so loved and honored, at
the expense of tlie hardy sons of the
soil, not even accepting the poorer
classes of the people whose hard lots
scarcely yield them the sustenance of
life.
Mr. Clay obviously was a tariff re
former. The Chicago Times calls the
attention of its readers to a declara
tion made by Mr. Clay some years be
fore bis death. Wu copy it as follows:
CLAY AS A TARIFF REFORMER.
it u,,, ,• ... ... i “A Republican paper savs: “The
nit'!>, aiM . Uh!, V^ at , tlle state of Henry Clay will hot much
longer stand the free trade heresy.”
Henry Ctay said that an American in
dustry that could not thrive with a
tariff of 20 percent, should perish.
American industries on an average are
now protected by a duty of 45 per
cent., and were Henry Clay alive to
day lie would be a devoted and en
thusiastic tariff reformer.”
We have demonstrated from the
public records that he favored a low
tariff. This declaration of Mr. Clay
shows that he was opposed to a high
tariff. The present tariff not only
more than doubles it, but reaches
nearly eight per cent over doubling
tlie per cent beyond which Mr. Clay
said any business requiring it should
perish. Our readers will see how the
opponents of a protective tariff are
fortified by tlie opinion of the former
great leader of the protective tariff
forces. He maintained that twenty
per cent, was enough and they have
twice 20 percent, and nearly *10 per
cent. In addition. Wo look for a groat
change that will overwhelm the pro
tectionists and* melt their grasping
avarice and oppressive policy in tlie
lightning of public indignation. Their
atrocious imposition has for many
years been cruel and perfidious, and
the time is rapidly approaching when
the people will bq no longer trampled
upon by a cold-hearted and remorse
less measure in violation of the na
tional constitution.

The Fair—Pickpockets.
While enumerating the grand sights
to attract tlie attention of the tens of
thousands of people who will be at
Atlanta to see the President and his
wife, and at Maoon to see Jefferson
Davis, tlie press throughout tlie State
should keep it continually before
their readers that an army of pick
pockets will infest these two cities on
these great occasions. Hundreds will
lose tiieir money or their valuables in
gold and jewels, by carrying them on
their persons. Why wear a watch or
a diamond pin or ring to the Exposi
tion or the Fair? Nobody will see
them in the great crowds there except
the eyes of sharpers bent on stealing
them. What good will a watch do
you when the time can be seen at any
minute from the clocks of the city;
anil what do you want with more
money than is really needed to pay
expenses? Women will be the princi
pal sufferers, because they love to dis
play their jewelry and diamonds, and
they are so careless about carrying
their money. They put it in a dross
pocket and an expert pickpocket, in a
jam, will cut but pocket and purse,
without touching the woman's person
or she dreaming of being robbed. The
thieves know just where a woman’s
pocket is. If she will carry a little
money, she had better keep it in her
hand under a close fitting glove. By
all means every one should beware of
displaying considerable sums of mon
ey at the ticket office, hotels, booths,
or anywhere else during these great
shows. Put your money in a bank, if
it is considerable, and check on it as
you may need any sum.
Why Is it SoT
In an experience of about forty
years in the newspaper business tin*
writer is still unable to assign any
good or satisfactory reason why many
men who subscribe for and read a pa
per from year to year, either fail to
pay for it, or when paying for it, take
occasion to accompany this act of
good faitli with unpleasant remarks
or manifestations of displeasure.—
Everything about a printing office has
to be paid for strictly cash, or its
equivalent. Why then should any
body feel more reluctance in paying
for a newspaper than for groceries or
dry-goods, or anything else they pur
chase? The printer is taxed like oth
er people, ami has to pay a large city
tax for tlie privilege of praising tho
town and pleasing and instructing i s
people. The very tools he works
with to make a living are taxed. Be
cause one has read a paper and
thrown it away as he does a sucked
orange, is that any reason for refusing
or neglecting to pay for it according
to the contract? As Well refuse to pay
the grocer and tlie butcher because
you have already ate his bread and
his meat, or the dry goods merchant
because the articles lie sold you are
no longer fit for use. The majority
of men we have had to deal with pay
for their paper as it were a pleasure
to do so, and give words of cheer to
help us in our struggle to publish a
clean and useful journal. But why
many others think it a hardship and
a disagreeable duty to pay for their
newspaper, is one of tliose mysterious
things we have never been able to
solve.
Dr. Gerck’s Car Starter.
We were pleased to read in the Au
gusta Gazette a description of this in
vention by Dr. Rudolf (>. Gercke. We
bad the pleasure some months ago of
seeing the wheels of this ingenious in
vention, and from our high estimate
of the Doctor’s genius and skill we
felt much confidence in its completion
and perfect adaptability to tile end
desired by him. Besides being a learn
ed and skillful physician, Dr. G. pos
sesses great mechanical genius as is
shown in this somewhat complicated
but strong and endurable work which
will totally relieve horses from the in
cessant hard pulls, to which they ure
every minute or two subjected, after
leaving tlie car stables until their
return to them. Its humanity w’ll
commend it to the owners of such
establishments as well as its tendency
to preserve the health and strength
of the horses needed to convey the
ears anil riders along the streets. The
tracks, in many cities, are miles in
length, and the owners of such tracks
and property will gladly avail them
selves of tlie use of an invention
which is so useful in sustaining the
animals, in health and strength, for
double and treble the time without
its aid. The distinguished doctor and
machinist, we presume, of course,
will in due time, notify tlie public of
his readiness to meet the demands of
all who may desire to avail them
selves of his useful and humane in
vention. We feel so assured qf ids
success that wo congratulate him be
forehand, upon his wonderful inven
tion.
Florida Goes Dry.
Contrary to general expectation tli#

by decisive majorities. Elections in
other counties follow soon, and it is
the opinion of the best j uilges that the
State will be overwhelmingly for Pro
hibition. Large numbers of colored
men voted for prohibition.

Pencillings from my Perch.
By Mr. Pickle.
No. 6.
Among tlie men who have given
tlie people of Baldwin noble exam
ples by their lives and character,
none among the living, whose vir
tues shine in the still scenes of tran
quil and social life, are more deserv
ing than the unpretending subject of
our sketch to-day:
Elam Sanford.
Tliis venerable gentleman visited
the city of Milledgeville a few days
ago, and was the guest of his son,
our respected fellow-townsman, H. V.
Sanford. In many respects Mr. Elam
Sanford is a remarkable limn. He
was born in Loudon county, Virginia,
in the year 1801, and is now in his
87th year. In 1812 or 18, his father,
Jerry Sanford, emigrated to Georgia
and settled in Hancock county in tho
neighborhood .of Island Creek. His
son Elam was then a lad about] 12
years of age. His father being a
farmer of very limited means, young
Elam was compelled to use every
available hour to assist in the sup
port of his father's family. On the
home place there lived a shoemaker,
and Elam, to earn something for him
self, would peg shoes for the shoe
maker till 10 o’clock at night, foi? which
labor he was paid the pittance of ten
cents a night. During tlie summer
his father gave him a patch of ground
which he planted generally in cotton,
and worked it at night by torchlight.
He would build him a scaffold, which
lie covered with soil, and upon this
make his primitive electric light.
Working in this way for several
years, he accumulated enough money
to buy two negroes, and this before
lie was twenty years of age. In tho
year 1824, Mr. Banforil went from
this State to Louisiana, whore he liv
ed for eighteen or twenty years. He
was engaged to his wife, now alive,
for twenty years. When a young
man, and before lie went to Louisiana
lie was a resident of Baldwin, and
owned what is known as Ailing’s Mills
on Town creek for many years. In
deed, Mr. Sanford, though a citizen
of Hancock so long, was, through bus
iness and association, brought oftener
in contact with the people of Baldwin
than those of the county in which he
had a home.
Nature never endowed a man with
a more wonderful constitution. Be
ing an exceedingly temperate man
he enjoyed tlie best of health, and
was never known to take a dose of
medicine or have a doctor attend him,
save on two occasions, when lie had
cholera and yellow fever during his
sojourn in Louisiana. At his advanc
ed years, eighty-seven, he possesses
as much vital force as most men have
at sixty. He is fond of hunting even
now, and his tall and massive form is
often seen in the woods of winter
nights in search of tlie toothsome
possum.
A man bf purity, spotless life, and
integrity deep-rooted and firm as the
sinews of his strong frame, ho stands,
to-day, an example to the young and
middle aged worthy their zealous em
ulation.
V
The following sketch is not intend
ed as a biography, only a brief com
ment on some of the salient charac
teristics of the most distinguished cit
izen who ever made his home in
Baldwin county:
Herscukl V. Johnsdn
Possessed the most giant intellect
of that group of great men who illus
trated Georgia for more than thirty
years antedating tile war between
the States. He lacked one element
of successful stntemansliip in America,
arul that was personal magnetism.
He had not a particle of the suaviter
in modo about him. He would have
let the presidency of the United
States drop out of his grasp if it had to
be attained by methods that his con
science condemned. He was a moody
companion—men thought him mo
rose—judged him rigorously and un
generously, for his heart was ten
der and true under an exterior that
was cold if not repulsive. His talents
were of such diversity tliut to inti
mate friends he seemed to be gifted
witli every ornamental and useful
faculty—nothing so complicated in
law or physics that he could not make
plain to the simplest, mind; anil noth
ing so common-place that he could
not invest it with charmed interest.
He would enter the Penitentiary
when he was Governor, and watching
the convicts lay brick, tell them if
they placed them wrong; go into the
wood-shop and know as well as the
superintendent if auy part of a wag
on was defective; into tlie smithery
anil pick out a horse shoe that lmd
not been made to lit tlie foot; then re
pair to tho Executive office, write a
message to tho legislature, or indite
an intcr-State correspondence in lan
guage a Cicero or Addison could not
have excelled, anil close the labors of
the day, in an humble gathering of
bis neighbors at a prayer meeting in
good old Midway, with an address to
tlie Throne of Grace as full of piety
and eloquence as ever fell from hu-
t man lips. What a grand preacher he
* would have made!
It would surprise many, even close
observers, to tell them that the top of
a fashionable plug hat was as wide
across tlie crown as it is high from tho
rim to top of crown. But it is true.
The eye is often at fault in measuring
the distance, height and breadth of
common objects presented to view.
The President and the Tariff.
Some two weeks since we saw a
statement copied from the Washing
ton Post to the effect that President
Cleveland had seriously taken up the
tariff question and either had oalled
together some leading democrats for
consultation on the subject, or would
soon do so. The paper was in some
way lost but It was distinctly stated
that Speaker Carlislo had been the
guest of Mr. Cieveiaud at “Oak View”
for some days, and that Mr. Mills and
Secretary Fairchild were also there.
We have seen no further allusion to
tlie matter, but presume somo plan
was arrived at, or likely to be adopt
ed, to be laid before Congress at the
ensuing session which * takes place
early in November. It is of great im
portance if possible tp have a policy
on this question not only discussed
hut adopted in the House fjr its in
fluence upon the public mind. It will
be far better for the party, than to
await a declaration of principle in a
platform in July, or later in the Pres
idential election year. No doubt
some would deem it bad policy to in
troduce a bill on this subject at the
ensuing session, with a pretty certain
prospect of its defeat. The recalct
trant democrats, following the lead of
Samuel J. Randall, could defeat a
Democratic measure in the House, as
they did before anil unless some meas
ure that would secure their votes
could be adopted, defeat would be
certain and the party would go before
the people under circumstances less
hopeful than if no congressional ac
tion on tho subject had taken place.
All the signs, taken into considera
tion indicate no loss of democratic
strength in the South, nnd now in
New York or Indiana. The strength,
of George, in New York, is frittering
away by degrees and appearance^ in
Indiana, look if anything brighter for
the Democrats than they did in 1884.
The groat and popular Hendrfcks is
lost to tho Democrats, it is true, but
the offices, Voorhees tells us, ure filled
by Democrats and they are all full of
life and ready for the great battle of
1888. The high tariff protectionists,
who are so fond of putting their hands
in other peoples’ pockets, under the
forms of law, are beginning to see the
the handwriting on the wall. Tlie
public mind is growing more enlight
ened every day. Thousands are see
ing that they have been losers by the
attractive but delusive theory of pro
tecting American industry, that the
svstem is founded in fraud making
the rich, richer, and the poor, poor-
ei, that it is wealth for the one and

We commend to th£ special atten
tion of farmers in Baldwin, and else
where, the nrticle on the outside of
this paperfrom the Greenesboro Her
ald on the cultivation of the Spanish
ground pea. It is well worthy their
thoughtful consideration. We have
read many equally strong endorse
ments from the press In South-west
ern Georgia, praising the virtues of
this most productive and pork-fatten*
ing pea. When our farmers reach the
point of making their bread and meat
supplies at home they will no more
give themselves any worry about the
price of cotton—let* it he 8 cents or 12
cents. It is the veriest nonsense to say
they can’t raise their meat as oheapas
they can buy it. It is dear to them if
they could get it at 2c. u pound on a
nine months credit if they could raise
it at home for nothing. But read the
article we have referred to above, and
try it tlie coming year.
The annual reunion of the veterans
of the Seventh Connecticut Regiment,
once commanded by Generals Terry
and Hawley, occurred at Lakeville on
tlie 22d ult. Addresses were made by
General Hawley, Colonel Churles H.
Olmsteftd, of Savannah, Major O. L.
Sanford, of Washington, and others.
The marked feature of their reunion
was the cordial welcome given by the
veterans to Colonel Ol instead of Sa
vannah, who was in command at Fort
Pulaski when the Seventh Connecti
cut took possession of that fort after
its surrender, and afterwards when a
battalion of the Seventh assaulted
Fort Wagner, he was in command of
that fort and captured Captain Cham
berlain and about fifty of the assault-
ting battalion, who mounted the par
apet of tho fort. Nothing could be
more cordial and hearty than Gener
al Hawley’s words of welcome to Col
onel Olmsteud and the cheers which
greeted tho ex-Confederate during liis
patriotic and loyal speech. Colonel
Olinstead’s daughter, too, was greet
ed with the greatest applause when
introduced to the veterans.
