Mauove, who has opened the campaign
in Virginia, tells his hearers that
the negro is a Republican by instinct
and a protectionist by nature. The

men of Malione's type, bnt we don't

people on such great subjects as the

their eyes, however, and we beginning

come forward and say that they will

Tariff.
A special to the News and Courier
from Washington announced that
Senator Bntler bad. returned from his
trip to New England, and iu an interview,
the South Carolina Senator says
that there are many indications which
tend to show that tiefenbiraent of that
section is changiag ttaOLtariff to antitariff.
Every witness before the select
committee of the Senate at its recent
session in Boston, as to iron and glasjs
manufactures, advocated frea trade
iutarfoarsct with Caiiada "as indispensable
fo the prosperity^ of those claspe?
of manufactories in New England."
It is worth not*ng, too, mat roe
wonderful development of the South
in manufacturing and- her inexhaustible
deposit?ofcoal andiron has played
an important part.' in making them
change their opinion. "Some witnesses
went so far as to say that, without
free coal and iron ore, and. a
greatly reduced rate ou pig iron, the
iron manufacturers of New England
must porisb; that the competition of
Pennsylvania, Maryland and the South,
? i r--i~_r? 1 c.tU

drive them oat of existence, and this
was true also of glAss factories." A
large majority of witnesses urged the
removal ot duty Sn : lumber in the
interest of I?ew England, though they
declared themselVee protectionists in
everything that would help New England.
So it seem9 they favor free
trade when their oicn interest is advanced
by it. WeE,?{We hope that the

pie, by the hot i?n<|:c|ose competition
of the South in ever.v branch of industry.
It seetns, hoWwer, that the New
England protectioiittsjs are shifting
their pofeitiou. Formerly they took
the position that tiiey: were not governed
by self-interest; that it was to
theiuterest of the^CO^ntry at large to
have a protective "tariff system, but
now ibey virtually confessthat protection

The Reason Why
Ayer's Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as a cathartic
"""saedicine, they never leave any ill
effe&s. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from calomel
or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
Via nM or rnnn7. thev mav be confi
dently administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where derangements of the liver are so
general, Ayer's Pills have proved an inestimable
blessing. D. W. Baine, New
Berne, N. C., writes:
" I suffered a long time with stomach
and liver troubles. I tried various remedies,
but received no benefit until I
commenced taking Ayer's Pills. These
pills benefited me at once. I took them
reeularlv for a few months, and my
health was completely restored."
Throughout New England, next to
lung diseases, Stomach and Bowel
Complaints are the most prevalent.
Dyspepsia
and Constipation are almost universal.
a nrftrtir.al chemist, of
iW-A OXACSV'UV* f M ?? ?
Roxbury, Mass., who was long troubled
with Dyspepsia, writes:
"A friend induced me to tryAyer's
Pills, and, after taking one box without
mucli benefit, I was disposed tp quit
them; but he urged perseverancf, and,
before I had finished the second box, I
began to experience relief. I continued
taking them, at intervals, until I had
used eleven boxes. Suffice it to say,
that I am now- a well man, and grateful
to your chemistry, which outstrips
mine."
The head and stomach are always in
sympathy ; hence the cause of most of
those distressing headaches, to which
so many, especially women, are subject.
Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of Poughkeep"v~
v +Viot- vaam slip WAS
DiC| JL1< X 1} Vt libCO VilAW *V* ^ WW ^ ?
a martyr to headache, and never found
anything to give her more than temporary
relief, until she began taking
Ayer's Pills, since which she has been
in the enjoyment of perfect health. I
