He Thought of "Dexi Hogs."?Just
previous to the war," said a Mississippi
planter the other day, "I was out in the
field giving an old and favorite slave of
mine some instructions about a change of
fence, when I heard the hiss of a snake
and jumped aside just in time to avoid
the fangs of a cotton mouth. I was for the
time badly rattled, while the old man
seized a elub and killed the snake. Several
months passed, and the incident had
been forgotten, when I got into trouble
and was challenged to fight a duel. I accepted
and named the next morning at 8
o'clock. How the news got to the old
slave I never could understand and- he
would never tell, but In some way he got
an inkling that I was to fight. In the afternoon,
as I sat alone on the verandah, he
came shuffling up, pulled off his hat, and
when I gave nim a nod of encouragement
be approached and said:
" 'Mar's James, dey dun say you am
gwine to fight wid Mar's to-morrow.'
" 'Hush ! What nonsense!'
" 'I ain't gwine to say one word to nobody,
Mar's James; but de old man ?,"
" 'What?' I asked, as he hesitated.
? "Momhor dnf mt.tnn mnnf down bv de
swamp, Mar's James? 'Member howhow
you dun turned pale an' trembled?'
" 'Perhaps I did.'
'"Wall, Mar's James, if you am gwine
to fout wid Mar's jis' doant fink of
snakes 'tall when you am standin up to
shoot. Put ver mind right on dem eighteen
hogs which rooted under de fence an'
got out into de brush de odder day, an' de
Lawd will help ye drap him '
"The duel came off, and Mar's was
'drapped' with a bullet in his shoulder,
and the old slave didn't quit shouting and
praying for a week."?[Detroit Free Press.
Careless of His Appearance.?An
elderly and wealthy Pattersonian, with
peculiar notions, one day recently met an
acquaintance in New York who was shocked
at his seedy, even ragged, appearance.
"Why, you shouldn't go round so," remonstrated
the careless man's friend.
"Oh, it's all right," was the reply. "Nobody
knows me here."
A few days later the same person again
met the worthy old gentleman, this time
in Patterson, and, to his surprise, he was
again atth?d in the same negligent manner.
"Why, how is this? I thought you
would fix up a little when you walked in
in Patterson," remarked the particular
friend.
"What's the use?" asked the elder man,
evidently somewhat annoyed. "Everybody
knows me here."?[New York

Woman?That's Mr. Hayseed. What
did he want you to do?
Tramps-Ma'am, he wanted me to get
up at 4 in the morning and milk seventeen
cows, feed, water and rub down four
horses, clean the stables, and then saw
wood until it was time to begin the day's
work.
Woman?How much did he want to pay
ye?
Tramp?I dunno; 1 did't stop to ask.?

wis Experienced.?One of the many
teachers now in the city told the following:
The mother of one of my pupils had died,
and I made the event the occasion for a
serious talk to the children, reminding
them of their own happy homes, impressing
upon them theirduties, etc. The little
ones were pretty sober and thoughtful,
when up went a hand on the back seat. A
little fellow sitting there, whose father had
a third wife, evidently wished to impart
some information to me. "Well, Johnny,
what is it?" I asked. "Please ma-a-m,
I've had two mothers and I'm going on
the third."?San Francisco Call.

I love your daughter sincerely and
long to make her my wife. May I venture

"My young vriend, ven you ask me for

too great a sacrifice"?
"Very well, Mr. Isaacstein, I will transfer
my affections elsewhere then. Good
day."
"Come back, my young vriend, come
back! You can have her. But, by chiminy,
you don't always get such a bargains
effery day !"?[Burlington Free Press.
It Fitted Her Overseer.?We once
knew L. W. Allen to preach a sermon for
the benefit of one member of the congregation.
She was very rich, very old, and
had not been to church for twenty years.
Allen's fame drew her, and he determined
to make the most of it. His text, his illustration
lifted her, (and no tailor ever made
a better fit.) The services over we went
with Brother Allen to the hospitable home
of the old lady, only to hear her say to
him : "Mr. Allen, your sermon fitted ray
overseer so well that all the time you
were preaching I was regretting that he
was not there to hear it."
His Admirable Genius.?"Persistence
will frequently do more for a man than
will genius."
"I believe it. I had an experience in
that line myself."
"In what way?"
"When I commenced to study in an attorney's
office my father sneeringly told
me that I would never be able to acquire
a knowledge of the law, but I persevered."
"And are you a lawyer now ?"
"Not exactly, but I'm a deputy sheriff."

The Time When.?A man went into a
provision store in Boston the proprietor of
which was a German. "How much do

THURMAN'S GREAT SPEECH. r
At Port Huron, Michigan, last Wedues- ti
day, Mr. Thurman made a speech before h
an immense gathering of the Democracy. n
He spoke offhand, and early in his speech P
he had occasion to use his handkerchief,
and the appearance of the now famous e
bandana, called forth a hearty cheer, which I
was echoed and re-echoed by the crowd, tl
The speech lasted for one hour and twen- P
ty-five minutes and was almost entirely P
devoted to the discussion of the tariff is- g
sue. The following are extracts from his y
speech : b
I know that your people are taking the j*
deepest interest in the questions that are f(
being discussed this year. In the brief *
time that I shall speak I will occupy my- 1
splf mainlv with one of those questions.
I shall do so because it is that in which so ?
much interest is taken,and upon which so [
much is being said by speakers, writers h
and through the public press. t(
After a glowing tribute to Cleveland and
his past administration, he proceeded to t|
discuss the tariflf. He said: ii
Now, my friends let me proceed to that v
question to which I have alluded, com- U
monly called the tariff question. I pre- si
sume that there is uot a person within the ci
sound of ray voice who does not know b
what is meant by the tariff, and yet it may a
aid us to-day if I give a clear and precise u
definition of what the tariff is. Tariff, ?
my friends, is nothing in the world but a p
tax; a tax levied by the Government upon tl
every article of commerce that comes into ti
the United States and that is intended for s:
sale within her borders, and which inci- n
dentally raises the price, and therefore t
becomes a tax or burden upon every article t
of domestic manufacture of like nature d
with those which pay a tariff tax. Now i<
we have at this moment, according to the t
last advices I have seen, about $115,000,- a
000 called surplus revenue?that is, taxes g
collected from the people beyond the ne- c
cessities of the Government, lying per- e
fectly idle in the vaults of the treasury of f
the United States?of no service to any s
human"being, drawing no interest, earn- t
ing no profits, but taken from the pockets t
of the people where they properly belong, a
and where if they were now found, thous- t
ands and tens of thousands and hundreds c
of thousands of people of the United States t
would put them to good use and improve t
their condition and prosperity. Now the r
Democratic party says that this is a wrong
condition of affairs; that money ought
not to be like the talents of the man we
are told of in the Scriptures, buried in the
?m;0 ia a oflru nnnr use to
glUUUU J CI ICV V IIIUO 10 M ? v? J |#?w
make of the money of the people; and
the Democratic party says that this surplus
revenue, which is produced in the main
by these tariff taxes, ought to be reduced,
and that the taxes should be reduced so
that this surplus will not continue to accumulate.
Our opponents on the other hand
say it is better to let the surplus accumulate,
it is better to take money from the
pockets of the people, it is better to pile it
up in the vaults of the treasury department,
although it does no good whatsoever,
and if it i? a great harm it is better
to do that than touch the tariff laws of the
United States.
We say, on the contrary, that the way to
relieve an overtaxed people is to reduce
taxes. We say that the way to treat people
honestly, fairly and wisely, is to take
no more taxes out of their pockets than the
government actually needs for its expenditures.
[Applause.]
The issue then is fairly made up between
high taxation on the one hand and reasonble
taxation on the other. It is between
taking the money of the people out of
their own control, out of their own pockets
and burying it in the cellar of the
treasury department; or it is between w
leaving the money where it belongs, in ci
the pockets of the people, to be used by 81
thern as their wants require and their in- (
telligenceand honesty direct, or taking it vi
out for no good.
Now, in the long political life that I "
have led I have heard a great many false
pretences preached to the people, a great
many intended to deceive and delude ^
them, but in all my life I have never wit- t
nessed such audacity as I have noticed li
this year on the part of advocates of a high o
protective tariff?never before. And there
seems to be a singular disregard of truth
that has suddenly afflicted them. I do not
intend to call people hard names. I have
! all my life endeavored to keep a civil I
in mi? hoofl uml T mpun tnkeen it ,
IIMI?UG 111 llV 1~~ y
as long as I live, but I do say that some c
people sometimes seem to lose their senses
so that they cannot see truth, and often,
unfortunately, cannot speak it. [Applause.
Now, justthink of it for a minute. We
are told that a high tariff makes the country
richer, as if it were possible to make a ?
country rich by oppressively taxing its v
people. [Applause.] Ain't that a new n
way to make a man rich ? To run your n
hand into his pocket and take out what v
you find there, and that without any just r
reason whatever for so doing ? Is not that
a singular way to make anybody rich ?
[Applause.] And yet that is precisely the
plan that these people tell us is the plan
to adopt to enrich the country. That this y
country is to be made wealthy by means "li
of high taxation. Again, they have the i]
audacity to say that this tariff tax is not *
paid by the consumers of the article which
is taxed. Why, if the consumers of these
taxed articles do not pay the tax, I would
like to know who does ? Do these Protectionist
orators pay it? Do manufacturers
pay it? Who pays it if the people who
consume the articles that are taxed do not ? ^
Mr. Thurman then produced an array B
of figures in support of his argument, c
closing this branch of his subject by quot- u
ing from President Arthur's annual mes- n
sage to Congress in 1882-83. Arthur said: ?
"I recommend an enlargement of the free 11
list?that is, of goods that pay no duty?
so as to include within it numerous articles a
which yield an inconsiderable revenue;
the simplification of the complex and inconsistent
schedule of duties upon certain
manuftctures, particularly those of cotton, *
iron and steel, and a substantial reduction 'j
of duties upon those articles, and upon 1
sugar, molasses, wool and woolen goods."
Well, said Mr. Thurman, that is precisely
what the Democrats are striving to do. <
That is precisely what the Mills bill, as it
is called, attempts to do, and yet these
gentlemen who are howling about the j
benefits of protection and the ruin that the v
Democrats are doing to this country, tell c
you that this thing which President Arthur l]
recommended so lately is nothing in the
world but f ee trade.
Discussing the doctrine that a protective o
tariff will benefitlabor by raising its wages, ?
he made the following reference to the
negro labor of the South : tl
But there is one class of laborers, my ?.
friends, said Thurman, that I want to call |j
your attention to especially. There is one ; t(
class of laborers in this country who have j
been, according to ii?e claims of* the Abolitionists
in the country, and of Republicans,
their especial wards?especially un- |
der their guardianship and for whose in- j
! terests they feel most peculiar and earnest I (
solicitude; and these are the negroes, j J!
Now, the result of the war was to free j a
r about 4,000,000 negroes, and I am very ! }
glad they were freed, and they have in- f<
creased now to about six or seven millions, n
for the negro is a prolific animal. [Great c
laughter and applause.] How do these ^
negroes make their living? Why, a great -j
many of them go to town and pursue any c
kind of handicraft they can, becoming do- j
mestic servants, blacking shoes, shaving |
faces or doing things of that kind. But in
the country the negro makes what he gets r
by cultivating the' earth throughout the
whole South. How does he cultivate it? ! [(
Why, he either has bought some land, i v
: and some of them have bought a good o
deal, or he rents land. Whether he culti- j 11
vates his own land or whether he rents it, h
the crops that he gets from it are the re- A
munerations he receives from his toil. ^
Now, that crop in the main consists of
cotton, some corn and some little wheat,
but mainly all cotton. Now, how can a high
protective tariff benefit that negro
who raises cotton and has for his share of ~f
the crop three or four or five bales of cot-;
ton each year? Why, gentlemen there is j r
no tariff at all on cotton. It comes in ^ 5l!
free as air. I believe I am quite right in 1 01
aying that, ain't I? (Turning to Mr.
)uthwaite). Mr. Outhwaite: "Yes, sir."
Judge Thurman: "It comes in free as
ir. The price of cotton therefore is not
aised as they say, or lessened by this
ariff tax, and yet here is all that the negro
as for his labor. He can't get a cent
lore for his cotton by reason of any high
rotective tariff and he don't get perhaps
cent less. He has to sell his cotton, and
i sell it at a price that is made by a forign
market, the price in Liverpool or in
iOudon, to which cotton is exported from
he United States. It is there that the
rice of his cotton is fixed, and for that
rice he has to sell it, tariff or no tariff,
tut how is it on the other hand ? The nero,
although he is living in a pretty
farm climate in some places, still wants
3 be decent, and wants to be comfortable,
nd wants his wife and children to be comjrtable,
and th'ey do need clothing as well
s other people. But upon every single
ling that he buys to clothe himself, to
lothe his family, to clothe his little pickninnies,
to get a blanket, to get a tool or
<inlomontnfun\r L-inil hp is trtYPfi hv this
igh protective tariff, anil he is compelled
> pay higher prices than he otherwise
:ould, so that, so far as he is concerned,
here, can be no pretence whatsoever that
lie tariff is anything but an unmitigated
ojury to him. He has nothing to sell
rhich is benefited by it; he performs no
ibor that by any kind of argument can be
lid to be benefited by it. He sells his
rop at a price fixed by a foreign market,
ecause he can't sell for any other price,
nd upon everything that he consumes,
pon everything that he purchases for his
onsumption he has to pay an increased
rice and is thereby injured. Now I think
hat our abolition friends especially ought
o take this under their most serious conideration.
They say that they freed the
egro from slavery. I am willing to grant
hem all claims in that regard, although
here might be something said about who
id it. Perhaps 2,000,000 Democratic solders
in the army had something to do with
I. [Great applause.] After giving them
11 they claim, do they mean, after having
iven him freedom, to make him a slave;
ompelling him to pay higher taxes upon
verything that is necessary to use, not
or his own benefit but for the benefit of
oinebody else? Is it not enough that
hey make him a slave by requiring him
o vote for them and swear not to vote for
.Democrat? Is that not enough? Must
hey also take all his little earnings by
ompelling him to pay for everything
lis wife and children wear, more than
hey ought to be required to pay?" [Relewed
applause.!

A CROWING BUSINESS.
THE trade in my home made Buggies has
been so much better than I expected, that (
I have not had one in stock for some days.
They go as soon as they are put in the show
room. To those parties who have been so
kind as to wait till I could have some finished,
I will say that they may come now and get the
| Best Bnggy Offered in this Market.
I mean exactly what I say. They are the best
in style, durability and finish. Having secured
the services of a First Class Columbus Finisher,
I feel confident that I will in a short time
furnish the entire up country in fine work. I
invite from every one inspection, and defy
competition. I am again making
RAILROAD CARTS,
And am sure that I can make it to the interest
of Contractors to use my goods. I made a lot
of carts last year for a firm of contractors that
suited them so well, that I have just completed
the third lot for them. I sell my Carts cheaper
than any other maker. Write for prices and
description.
THE WAGON TRADE IS OPENING
And finds me ready to supply the wants of
the people with a nice line of Tennessee Wagons.
Come and buy one cheap. I also offer
the public bargains in Harness, Collars,
Whips, Wheels, Carriage Materials and Carriage
Hardware of every description. My
motto is quick sales and short profits.
