FHILD30PHYJDF TARIFF.
ORICIN AND PROGRESS OF THE
AMERICAN SYSTEM.
Ex -Chief Justice Daniel Agnew
Shows How the Fundamental
Principle and Ruling Element
of Democracy are Oppos
ed to Protection.
The poBileon of the Democratic
party on the question of protection
to American industry ia equivocal ;
ulained in Pennsylvania to be for
it, in other sections again6tit Their
platform is vague and their candi
date silent But there is a sure
tray of determining their true atti
tude. If we find the fundamental
principle on which the party has
been built, the ruling element of its
exposition and its results, the con
clusion from these elements must
be inevitably true. Let us take a
short retrospect.
THE FIRST TARIFF.
The war of 1S12 cut off supplies
from England, and at its close left
us without nianulactures,agTicuiiur
1 nrrturipritv or commerce. Insol
i 1 j . , .
vencv of business men and interests
prevuiled. The statesmen of that
day saw the necessity of a home
policy is essential te prosperity.
The American system arose, advo
cated by such men as Clay and our
owi. Baldwin. Its chief features
are a tariff of duties to protect our
miact manoiacturers against ioreign
competition; an internal improve
ment system bringing the remote
narts of "the union into nearer con
nection, promoting interchanges of
products and lessening the charges
of transportation, a National curren
cy, good everywhere, and essential
to general prosperity ; and an equi
table division of the public domain
for the benefit of all. Mr. Clay was
so identified with this srstem. it
bore his name. As a consequence of
this condition, the tariff system, be
ginning in 1810, made a rapid pro
gress, culminating ia the highly
protective tariff of 1528, under the
administration of John Quincy Ad
ams, Mr. Clay being his Secretary of
State.
SLAVERY VS. TARIFF.
But now Crime a change of policy
wrought by the influence of that pe
culiar institution of the South, which
solves all the future movements of
the Democratic party, and which
arose during the first term of gener
al Jackson. African slavery is the
key which unlocks the tariff ques
tion and exhibits the fundamental
principle and ruling element of that
party. Slavery was essential to the
production of cotton, the leading ex
port of the South. Tobacco and
rice, the products of slave labor, add
ed though in a minor degree, to the
list of Southern exports. Mr. Cal
houn bad l-oen an advocate of pro
tection, but with other Statesmen of
the South began to see the changed
interest of his section. It became
their policy to sell the staple pro
ducts of Southern agriculture in the
highest foreign market, and draw
thence in return, at the lowest prit
ces, the manufactures which were
needed for Southern use. Low du
ties and small charges became their
demand.
SLAVERY AND POLITICS.
It was under the influence of this
changed condition the importance
of slavery became a supreme factor
in Southern politics. This was
manifested at once upon the change
of administration from Adams' to
Jackson's, and was strengthened by
the intense bitterness of Jackson to
wards Mr. Clay caused by the al
leged bargain and 6ale between Ad
ams and Clay, by which Jackson
failed to reach the Presidency in
1824-5. Beginning with the veto of
the Maysville road bill in 1S30 by
General Jackson, the whole series of
measures called the American sys
tem was overturned. This included
the protective system, which the
South opposed, even to nullification
of the tariff law in South Carolina
a treasonable act which the patriot
isaa0f Jackson would not tolerate,
ancf which he suppressed by his
proclamation and the Force bill.
Though at first favorable to prelec
tion, influenced by the strong feel
ing of the South and his opposition
to Clay. Jackson finally cast the
weight of his administration against
the system ; a position he sustained
by an elaborate statement in his
fourth annual message in December,
1S32, and by his subsequent endorse
ment of the Compromise act of 1S33,
in his annual message in December,
1833.
THE FIRST TARIFF TIMERS.
The first reduction of the tariff of
182$ was accomplished by the act of
lbo2 liut slavery was not content
with this reduction and the agita
tion became so great in the South,
Mr. Clay, alarmed at the turbulent
spirit and fearing insurrection
came into the Senate with his Com
promise bill of 1833 reducing the
duties of the act of 1832 bv a sliding
scale, until in 1841 they fell to a
general duty of only 20 per cent
The result was perfectly natural as
well as disastrous. Before 1841 ar
rived the suspension of 1837 had
occurred, American manufacturers
were trodden down, and a season of
general bankruptcy ensued, calling
into being the bankrupt law of 1841.
The state of the country brought
on a change of administration by
the election of General Harrison,
and the Whigs came into power in
1841. This was followed by the
passage of the tariff act of 1S42. and
the country rose from its depression,
prosperity revived, and the ation
was on the highway to wealth and
happiness. But the Democrats ral
lying in force ia 1844, a change of
administration took place again bv
the defeat of Mr. Clay. Again the
protection given by the act of 1842
was reduced by the Democrats in
184G, followed again by depression.
This downward tendency was meas
urably checked by the election of
General Taylor in 1848. Again a
change to the Democratic side came
by the election of Mr. Pierce in IS52.
followed by that of Buchanan in
185G, and again by suspension of
specie payments in 1S57, and anoth
er period of general depression.
BIRTH OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
In the meantime slavery had
made advances in the acquisition
of Texas and the purchase of Mexi
can territory for the avowed purpose
of keeping up the equipoise between
the free and slave States. By this
time a new party (the Republican)
arose out of the ashes of the North
ern winff of the Whitr nsrtr min
out of the determination of the
South to nationalize slavery and
force it into the new Territories and
States, through the popular sover
eignty dogma of the Kansas and
Nebraska bill, which was carried in
May, 1854, by the solid vote of the
southern Democrats, one-half of the
Northern Democrats, and the South
ern Whigs. This purpose was far
ther carried out by the Dred Scott
decision of the Democratic majority
of the Supreme Court made in 1856,
but withheld until after Buchanan's
inauguration in 1857- This deter
mination to give slavery a national
rtatus ended in the division of the
Democratic party in 1860 between
the Donglas and Breckenridge
wings, the election of Mr. Lincoln
onH tViA insurrection of the South.
As a consequence, the war brought
into existence new laws passed by
the Republicans for revenue and the
protection of American industry.
Under the influence of these laws
the devastation of the war was re
paired and the country brought up
to a condition of prosperity in 20
years unprecedented in all our his
tory, and even greater than in all
our former National life.
THE SOOTH RULES THE PARTY.
These are the recorded facts which
have passed into the National histo
ry beyond dispute or recall Can
anything be clearer than the propo
sition that slavery is the fundamen
tal principle on which rested the op
position to the protection of Ameri
can industry; an opposition made
solid by the Democracy of the South
and yet continuing. The views, in
terests and sentiments of the South,
begotten by slavery, yet live. The
agricultural products of the South
r vet the same. Negro labor is
just "as essential as ever to the raising
of cotton, rice and tobacco. me
black population is yet subordinate,
if not slave. It had no real voice
in the government of the South, and
the whites of the South resolve it
shall not. Who are the governing
class of the South 7 l hey are aem
nrratfl. and not onlv so. but solid in
their cohesion and adherence to
their policy and doctrines, forcing
them on the Northern wing of their
party, willing or unwilling. Here
and there in the South bright spot
are beginning to appear, but the
nhnln mass is vat dark and solid.
These well-known facts would nat
urally produce their results in the
public acts of the party.
DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM OS TARIFF.
Accordingly we have them in the
nlatform of 1876. in which the solid
South and its Northern adherants
dwlared: "We denounce the pres
ent tariff, levied on nearly 4,000 ar
ticles, as a masterpiece of injustice
inequality and false pretense Again
"We demaad that all custom house
taxation 6hall be only for revenue."
In the platform of 1880 they "pledge
themselves anew to the constitution
al doctrines and traditions of the
Democratic nartv. as illustrated bv
the teachings and examples of along
line of Democratic statesmen and
natrint embodied in the platform
of the last national Convention ofthe
party." This is followed immedi
ately by a repetition of "a tariff for
revenue only. Such were the doc
trine and pledges of the Democratic
party four years ago, and on this
nletip-e the solid south, the soil of
l o - - i
slavery and a!I its memories, sup
ported Hancock. Such is the fun
damental principle on which 151
free trade Democrats, under the lead
of Carlisle and Morrison in the last
session of Congress, yoted to reduce
all duties 20 per cent,' while only
forty-four under the lead of Randall
voted against this flat and indiscri
inate reduction. Mark. too. the coin
cidence of this 20 per cent 6cale
with the L'U per cent, oi the compro
mise bill of 1S33 forced by the South
upon the North, and which brought
ruin and and bankruptcy on the
country.
Now. in 1S84. we have a Democrat
ic platform purposely dubious to
prevent defeat, interpreted in the
South as free trade, so much so
that such free traders as Carlisle,
Morrison, llurd, uatterson and
others stand satisfactorily on it On
this uncertain platform, who stands
as its exponent? A dumb candi
date, whose silence proves its utter
want nf honest fx nressinn. With
an avowed protectionist the Demo
cratic masses might go to bailie on
even this dubious call, but with a
platform and a candidate speaking
no positive conviction, who can trust
that party? A party without a
leader or a chart, flounderinc in the
waves of uncertainty; a country halt
ing on the great highways ot busi
ness; a Nation looking anxiously for
a calm when it can embark once
more on a return to prosperity. For
this there is but one real avenue of
hone the election of Mr. Blaine
and a continuance of the openly
avowed Republican policy of pro
tection. Its platform is positive
and its Candidate speaks out
boldly and honestly.

Aa IV Appears in Cincinnati
Cincinnati, 0., Oct 17. To-day
the Republican majority in Ohio
looks as if it would come within a
few votes of 12,000, but official re
turns may yary it The Eleventh
Congressional district is tolerably
assured to the Democrats, which
makes the Congressional districts
stand, as was telegraphed two nights
ago, 11 Democrats and 10 Repub
licans. This is a singular feature in
the election of Ohio which is a fre
quent topic among Republicans.
This is that while Robinson's ma
jority over Newman is 12,000, the
aggregate Kepublican majorities in
the Congressional districts over the
Democratic majorities is about 18,
000. This vote is a truer represen
tation of the actual strength of the
two parties than ia the majority on
the State ticket.

Mobils, Aht, October 17. The
drought ia now nearly eleven weeks
old and no indications of rain. There
is much inconvenience and some
suffering all over the South.
Springs, wells and branches are
dried up, and long drives to rivers
have to be made for water for cattle.
The rivers themselves are very low
and gradually reaching the points
roted in 1836, when the Alabama
could be waded at Montgomery
The cotton crop was burnt out more
than three weeks ago and very little
top crop can be made, and this little
only in low lands. The turnip crop
so much relied upon for stock feed,
is a complete failure. Meantime no
seed crn come up and the farmers
are continually resowing in the hope
rain may come. This is particular
ly true of winter cabbage. Fortunate
ly, this drought began two weeks
later than the drought cf last year,
and the cotton bad a better chance
to mature. Therefore, the drought
of 1884 cannot equal in deatructive
n ess that of 1SS3, no matter how long
it lasts.

' Blaine's Port Wayne Speech. )
Fort Watnk, Oct 20th, 1884.
Mr. Blaine spoke to-night aa follows :
Citizens of Indiana : The October
elections in Ohio and West Virginia
have put a new phase on the nation
al contest or rather they have repro
duced an old phase. The Demo
cratic party, as of old, cohm ler new
that they have a solid South again.
They believe that they will surely
get lo3 electoral votes from sixteen
Southern states, and then they ex
pert, or they hope, or they dream,
that they may secure flew York and
Indiana, and that with New York
and Indiana added to the solid
South thev will seize the govern
mentof the nation. They can't do
it 1 don l believe that farmers, bus
iness mtn. manufacturers, mechan
ics, and, last of all and moBt of all,
I don't believe that the .men who
added lustre and renown to your
state through four years of bloody
war can be used to call into the ad
ministration of the Government men
who organized the great rebellion.
In the senate of the United States,
the Democrats have thirty seven
members, of which number thirty-
two come from the South. Of their
strength in the House of repreeenta'
tivett the majority comes from the
South, and now the intention is,
with an absolutely solidified electo
ral vote from the South added to
the votes of the two 'states I have
named to seize the government of
the Union. That means a great
deal ; it means that as the boutb
furnishes three-fourths of the Demo
cratic strength, it will be given the
lead and control of the nation in the
event of a Democratic triumph; it
means that the great financial and
industrial systems of the Govern
ment shall be placed under the di
rection of the South ; that our cur
rency, our banka, our tariffs, our in
ternal revenue laws, in short, that
our whole system, upon which the
business of the country depends,
shall be placed under the control of
that section ; it means thai the con
stitutional amendment to which
tbey are so bitterly opposed shall b
enforced only so far as they believe
in them ; that the national credit,
as guaranteed in the fourteenth,
amendment; that the payment of
pensions to soldiers of the Union, as
guaranteed in the same amendment, I
shall be under their control; and!
what that control shall mean can be i
measured by the bitterness with;'
which those amendments were re-
sisted by the Democrats of the South. ' j
1 here is not one measure of banking, ,.'
of tariff, of finance, of public credit, 8
of pensions, not one line ot the ad
ministration upon which the Gov
ernment is conducted to-day. to
which the Democrats ofthe South
are not recorded aa hostile, and to
give them the control would mean a
change, the like of which has not
been known in modern times.
No Pole lor Belva.
Mrs. Belva Lock wood is not mak
ing so much noise as some of the
other presidential candidates, but
her campaign is marchingon. There
was a pole-raising in her honor at
Dal ton, this State, the other dav,
although the newspapers have not
mentioned it Probably no organ
will notice it, but the telegraph is
under contract to furnish all cam
paign news, ho matter what candi
date is helped or hurt by it This
pole in honor of Mrs. Lock wood was
raided spontaneously. There was no
cliip trap about it It was erected by
pure love for Belva and her cause
Lewts Ii. Guenther was sole propri
etor of it and to cheer his candidate
on her way ke wrote her a full ac
count of the demonstration. In rt
ply the candidate thanked him cor
dially for his interest in the caut-e,
but begged him to take down the
pole. She said that she does not
approve of pole-raising in honor of
candidates and disliked torchlight
processions and all the fuss and fury
usually deemed essential .to the suc
cess of a campaign. She prefers de
feat to election by means of such i
sensational devices. If any citizen
raises a pole in her honor hereafter
it will be against her plainly express
ed wishes. Mrs. Lockwood has

AYER'S PILLS.
A larje proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange
ment of tbs stomach, bowels, and liver.
A yes's Cathartic Pills act directly uuou
these organs, and are especially designed to
curs the disease caused by their derange
ment, including Constipation, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all of
which tbey are a safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
Pills by eminent physicians la regular prac
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profes
sion. These Fills are compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A SolTerer from Headache writes :
"Ana's Pills are Invaluable tome, and
are my constant companion. 1 have been
a severe sulierer from Headache, and your
Pills are the only thing 1 could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physio
1 have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and 1 always do as
when occasion offers.
W. L. Paos, of W. U Page & Bro."
Franklin SU, Kichmond.Va., June 3,
"I have nsed Atkr's Pills in number
less instances aa recommended by you, and
have never known th'm to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on band at our home, and prize them as a
pleasant, safe, and reliable familv mediciue.
lull lYsrPSlA they are invaluable.
J. T. Haves."
Mexla, Texas, June 17, 1882.
The Ieet. Fhascis B. Haklowi!, wriUng
from Atlanta, biL, says: "For some years
past 1 have been subject to constipation,
from which, in spite of the use of medi
cines of various kinds, I suilered increasing
inconvenience, until some months ago I
began taking AVer's Pills. Tliey have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my general health."
Avek's Cathartic Pills correct Irregu
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe
tite and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tons and vigor to tbs
whole physical economy.
