Milledgeville, Sopt. 27, 1887. 12 lm. 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.

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# people of Florida at the polls, in about a dozen counties, hist week, under the local option law, voted out whiskey 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.

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 poverty for the other. The Spanish Ground Pea. 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. One of Gen. Forrest’s Old Men Lucky. As announced, Mr. W. A. Barnhill, of this city, held one-tenth of ticket 29,146, that drew tlio $50,000 in the August drawing of The Louisiana State Lottery, and received his mon ey—$5.000—promptly through the First National Bank of this city. He is an old man, 55 years of age, and proposes to manage nis fortune so as to live easy, and experience as few' of tlie worries of life as possible. He served through tho late war on Gen. N. B.
