And some permanent method ought to be adopted to meet future trouble. Congress should rise above partisan politics In this matter. It will not do to say that a remedy cannot be found, as announced by Mr. Latimer in liis last interview. The people demand a permanent remedy. Many of the States, notably South Carolina and Georgia, by stringent statutes have demolished the business of Lite Bucket Shops within our borders., and keot a cood deal of money at home for legitimate purposes. Congress by federal statutes, even to the extent of !'ne and imprisonment ought to demolish the greatest of bucket Shops and divert the money, which gees into illegal stock gambling, to the avenues of tonest tiade TARIFF RKFORM. We have heard of "the tariff" all our days; but if there ever was a time when the Democrats, ai d especially those of the South should move forward and demand tariff reform, and that immediately, now is the time. All throughout the North, there are many people Inside of tiie Republican party, w!o are ready to join the I)em ocrats in at: effort to rectify the fearful burden that P-sts on Die people by indirect taxation.
