CORRESPONDENCE.
Answur To The Republlcmi Reform Party
Letter.
Mu. Eiutok.—•M r. Block seems to
think that the republican party lias so
reformed the tariif as to reduce the price
of pins to ten papers for ten cents; also
ten papers of sewing needles for ten cents,
and the plow that cost $1.25 prior to 1800,
can now ho bought for 20 cents ; all of
which is true. But is it due to the tariff
tax or to the increased, better and cheap¬
er facilities of manufacture and ship¬
ment? I think Mr. Brock failed to notice
this point, lie also states that seventeen
pounds of line, white granulated sugar
can be bought in Tallapoosa for one dol¬
lar. “Good for Tallapoosa.” But I
would like to present the fact to his no¬
tice that such was not the case until the
tariff was removed. Previous to that
you might get from nine to ten pounds
of said sugar for one dollar. So you see
it was not the high tariff but the remov¬
al of it that cheapened sugar. As re¬
gards manufactured articles being cheap¬
er now tlian in IStiO, Mr. Brock must take
into consideration the fact that the facil¬
ities for cheaper and more rapid manu¬
facturing has been greatly increased; and
that competition has a great deal to do
with it. Mr. Brock states that previous
to 18(50 we paid England 8100 per ton foi¬
sted railing that we now get for from 828
to $35 per ton. If we can produce these
railings for $35 per ton and England
charges 8100, why in the name of God do
we want the tariff on when the difference
in juice would preclude all competition?
“Great gee-thunder.” I can’t see any
“dog-goned” sense in it at all. And why
in “sani-patcli” do American manufact¬
urers sell thdrgoods cheaper in Europe
than they do in the United States? And
why should American manufacturers be
so highly protected, when American day
laborers have to compete with the pau¬
per labor of Europe, when American
farmers have to sell their produce in the
open markets of the world, competing
with the cheap labor of Russia, India
and South America? Mr. Brock states
that the tariff is not the cause of the
farmers’ indebtedness, but that they are
not self-sustaining. That they buy of
the merchant three-fourths of their meat
and bread stuff. Now let us examine this
statement.
Where does the merchant obtain this,
if not of the farmer? lie does not pro¬
duce it himself, neither does lie import
it. It is evident that Mr. Brock is only
looking at a small portion of our great
and glorious'country aucPtakes its farm¬
ers for a set of '‘skolionemedonks.” Why
the cotton raising portion that he is look¬
ing at comprises not more than one-fourth
of our country. What causes the north¬
ern farmer to cry for relief and say his
load of debt is greater than lie can hear?
Do they buy their bread and meat? If so,
what becomes of the great herds of large
swine and droves of line cattle they raise
there? What becomes of the thousands
of bushels of wheat, oats, corn, barley,
rye, buckwheat and such stuff that you
find in their barns? Some may think
that the northern and western farmer
is not greatly in debt, hut let us take the
two wealthiest agricultural states in the
union, Ohio and Illinois, Real estate
niortgaes in Ohio amount to 8400,000,000
and Illinois to $402,000,000, and still it is
all the farmers fault. He is to blame be¬
cause lie cap’t get more than 15 to 20
cents per bushel for corn, and lias to
burn it in the winter for fuel because he
can’t sell it for enough to buy wood or
coal. Oh, yes; the farmer is to blame
for everything. I expect we had better
kick the “darn-no-account-cuss” clear
out of the country, for maybe we can get
along better without farmers than with
them. Mr. Brock says for the farmers to
raise their own corn and their own bread
stuff and fatten their own meat. Well,
three-fourths of the farmers do that and
have some to sell, but the price is so low
that it won’t pay their taxes and buy
their groceries and farming implements.
Mr. Block'. theory is very good to listen
too, hut we can’t practice it to the mu
tual benefit of all.

Now, wo don’t preteml to understand
great political questions thoroughly, be¬
cause we were born and raised on a farm,
and a small one at that, and as there j
were 14 children of us, our paternal pa-;
rent could not afford to give us a thor
ongli education. So we would like Co hear *
again from friend Brock on this and oth- •
or questions for our benefit.

At Tlie Same Time And Place.
Rno. Editor.—I hear a great deal said
in regard to the third party. If 1 knew
what we were going into 1 could advise
with better faith. It seems like the time i
has come, if the same jilace lias come to ®
take the third degree of the Alliance.
Now abideth faith, hope, charity, these
throe. If all this be so, why halt ye be¬
tween two opinions?
Now at the same time and place 1 be¬
lieve it is right to look to the right and
dress and forward march, if it takes the
fourth, fifth, tenth or one hundredth
fold.
And at the same time and place Dick
wants his wa\\ Tom wants his way and
Ilarry Ii is, but the Ad amide family can’t
stop because of these three. There lias
never been any institution, church or so¬
ciety but what has changed, only the
Masonic order.
Now at the same time and as near the
same place as possible, to not materially
injure ourselves, our families or our
country if tlie Alliance is getting bother¬
ed. just light should shift arms and move
on in a double quick. I once had my
gun shot in two in my hands. The Col¬
onel gave me another. I hope we will
never get to that pass again.
At the same time and place no govern¬
ment, church, school or Sunday school
d ivided against itself won't do well and
is likely to come to naught or some other
throw. “United we stand divide we
fall.”

WHAT SORT?
What sort of morality is that which
satisfies a man in the non-payment of a
debt as long as his creditor refrains from
“dunning?”
What sort of morality is that which
satisfies itself in the non-payment of a
debt because it is a small amount—a
tr.tle?
What sort of morality is that which
calls the attention of the ci editor to an
overcharge, but is silent about an under¬
charge?
What sort of morality is that which
seeks to evade meeting his creditor lest
he should he more plainly reminded of
his indebtedness?
What sort of morality is that which
satisfies itself in the non-payment of a
debt because the creditor is presumed by
the debtor not to need what tiie debt
calls for?
What sort of morality is that which
satisfies itself in the non-payment of a
debt because of failure in farming or
other enterprise or undertaking?
What sort of morality is that which
gets offended when asked to pay a debt,
which the debtor promised to pay long
before the timeef dunning?
What sort of morality is that winch
provides for his own wife and children by
defrauding the wife and children of an
other man dead or alive, to whom he is
justly indebted for things which have
been used by the debtor’s family for their
own enjoyment or profit?
What sort of morality is that which
ignores moral obligation as to a debt and
niys only wlieu the civil law compels?
In short, what sort of moaiity is that
which disregards the command, ‘Thou
shall not steal?”

DEAR I ANXIE.
The walls of the desolated ceil cause
me to relieet, and once think when 1 war¬
doing well. But, Fannie, God i-. ;im>
best.
A man in this life has to be brought t<
a test,and by this test 1 may weigh the
future for the best. Although being in¬
carcerated in jail, I will not fret to . t <
t lil, but trust in God, He who jl.
all things right, although out o'
sight. But I hope to see the d.ij- . -
bright as in the days of my.light. Hu
Fannie, one thought of you make- an
have a darker veil, wandering if your-i
will still prevail. My life is all I i-.a -
lose, iny pleasures on earth are ••
the happiest hours 1 ever spent, i
them all with you. So mnernlu
while love is sweet, remembei me n ;
we shall meet, for I still remember you
and may our days apart be few. It take
many things to make up life over this
broad land we strive, not knowing wind
the future will bring forth from nild
hood up to manhood growth, sadnes
and sorrow will come in the way a
well as glee and happiness to pass off Un
day. Could I but enchant you to my
breast, the one I love more than all Un¬
rest and call you mine and only mine
May God speed the day that I may sei
that time.
Now, I lay mv pen to rest,
But not the heart within my breast
Until I can see the happy time
When 1 am yours and you are mine
