DEMOCRATIC HYPOCRISY. Nothing else the Democratic leaders have ever done so completely showe their hypocrisy, doable dealing and false pretense as their proposal to re dnce the tariff on tin plate. The MoKinlej bill put a tariff of two and twotenths cents a ponnd on tin plate, and the new Wilson bill reduces this to one and one-fifth of a cent per pound. Under the McKinley bill about forty tin plate factories have been built in this country in the last two years. Besides this the revenue derived from imported tin plate has been much great* 'under the McKinley bill than under the old law. The Democracy all opposed the lv.nley bill for the eo'e season, as tlvy alleged, that it would increase tlie price of tinware to the poor people, and lessen the revjune by nreveuliag importations. But now since both ihese reasons linve proved false and uufouLded one would suppose that the party leaders would quit leaking war on the tin plate du.y. But, not so. They oppose it just as much as ever, showing that they have from the start been governed bv some other motive than the one assigned. It the McKinley bill started a great, new industry in this .country, increased the revenue and decreased the price of tin more surely, all Americans should be satisfied with the result. But they are not. What new reason is to be assigned for reducing the tariff on tin plate we do not know, but it is certain the party leaders will not assign the reasons they did two years ago. Does it not all shew too plainly that foreign interests are neing the Demooratio leaders to prevent the establishment of the tin plate industry in this oonntry The people of the country will wait with the deepest interest to learnj what new reason is to be assigned, for reducing the tariff on tin plate. The old reasons have all ignominiously failed, and the people know it. It is not likely thty can be fooled again.
JEFJEESON AND A TAfclFF. THOMAS JKFFERSOK as a member of Washington's cabinet, opposed a protective tariff, and this, too, at a time when American industries were really infant. lie informed I'rcsident Washington that he opposed it for two reasons, viz: First, because It is a tax, and a tax not authorized by the constitution and second, because it is a corrupt bargain between the government aud a few individuals, by which they are enriched at the expense of all other people.—Itevicw.
Whatever may have been Thomas Jefferson's views while he was a member of President Washington's cabinet, his op.nions had greatly changed when he became President. He found that our protective tariff system had pro duced results far greater and more satisfactory than had been anticipated. In 1806 he saw that there was likely to be a surplus after paying all the public debt called for by oar contracts. In his sixth annual message be thus presented his views to the country as to the best method of disposing of the surplns: "Shall we," he asked, "suppress the imposts (duties) and give that advantage to foreign over domestic manufactures? The general inquiry now is, Bball we mate our own comforts, or go without them nt the will of a foreign nation? He, therefore, who is now against domestic manufactures must be for reducing us either to dependence upon that nation, or to clothed in skins and live like beats in cavea and dens.
I am proud to SBy that I am not one of thein. Experience has taught me that manufactures are now as necessary to our independence as to our comfort Thomas Jefferson and the Review differ radically in their views on the tariff. In each of his eight annual messages to Congress Mr. Jefferson referred to the necessities of a protective tariff, and nrged upon the representatives of the people to maintain it as necessary to our independence.

we are to aid the people directly through tariff reform, one of Its most obvious features should be a reduction in present tariff charges upon the necessaries of life.—PrcxiiUnt f'lcceUirifl'/i
The Wilson bill reduces the tariff on brandy from 82 50 per gallon, the rate in the McKinley law, to $1-80. Cordials, liquors, urrack, absinthe, kirkwasser, ratatia and other spirituous beverages from 82 50 to $1 80 per gallon. Bay rum from 81.50 to SI per gallon.
Champagne from $8 per dozen quart bottles to 87 per dozen. Ale, porter arid beer from -10 cents per gallon to 30 Cents per gallon. Cherry and prune juice from 00 cents to 50 cents per gallon. All these "necessaries of life" have been reduced in the interest of the poor man, especially champagne and brandy

"Whether it will stum! in law, or not, 1 have no authority to decide. Other courts must settle that question. And it would be improper and absurd for me to attempt to pass upon the charge brought here (lirainst Dorr ,Iowett until this instrument has been legally exnmiued ami pronounced upon. '"1 have examined it and considered it far enough to see that a very strongease can be made for its legality, with all that would result from it. The charge that is here made is premature,to say the least nor do I think that,

any event, the defendant has been guilty of anything more than a technical violation of the statute. He is discharged also the lady."
The judge smiled graciously npoti lis. Mr. Garnett capered about the bar, and Mr. Dorion renewed his greetings, mingled with congratulations. The popular anger had (low turned upon Conrad l!o.stoelc, and he and his friends withdrew by a rear door, to escape being hustled. The fickle, multitude promised to give me a triumphant ride on their shoulders, and it was vvith some ilifficultythat 1 escaped their attentions. We sadly needed rest, :,niet and the company of friends after the tremendous excitement of the last few days and these we found,at the hotel with
Mr. Dorion and his eldest daughter.

That fierce Hostock executed the wilt and article of manumission before leaving Mississippi, that he secreK'd it in his house, forgot to take it with him. apparently forgot the fact that he liait done it, and never mentioned it. to anybody, were things that. to my inind. were perfectly consistent "with his condition of mind after the deed. The witnesses, Mr. Dorion said, were obscure white men, of the vicinity It was not necessary for them to know, and they doubtless were not Informed as to the character of the instrument, any more than that it was a last will and testament. Tliev were not men much
given to gossip, and Mr. liostoek could Bullock, Brighton, N. Y.
easily satisfy them not to mention the circumstance. His extreme caution in secreting the paper was natural pari of the terror and dread of disclosures about Coralie which possessed him after the duel. That the will was his deliberate act appeared when it was seen that he, not being a lawyer, had informed himself as to how to execute it legally. The proof was very strong that his mind failed sadly after his removal to La Fourche. and when, (he evening before he died, he was full of anxiety to execute another paper, it is not at all strange to me that he had forgotten the one accreted in the old
Mississippi homo. This is my theory. But I should add that lawyers have argued long aud learnedly over this branch of the.ease. and that judges have written opinions sustaining it. 1 take from my elosct a tile of the New Orleans Daily Picayune for the years 1S59-0G. In those feverish times little else but heated polities and the alarming condition of the nation was seriously talked or read about, but among the things of local interest most often mentioned by the press of the southern metropolis was the great suit at law of Coralie Jewett against Conrad llostock, involving the novel preliminary question as to whether the plaintiff was a free woman and entitled to sue—and, after that, the title to the f.a Fourche plantation, its slaves and belongings and all ot her property left by the late Pierce Hostock.
Could man give higher proof than I did of faith in the justice of his cause? Before the suit was begun 1 married the woman, who by the decision might be declared a slave!
I have said that the law of Louisiana was cruel to such as she. Let me hasten to add that in the end it. gave her a full measure of justice.
The fight was a bitter one and prolonged for more than two years. The defendant was in possession and was ably represented. And brisk little Sir. Garnett, on our side, had an opportunity to become acquainted with th'e "best lawyers of Louisiana."
The reader will not require me to give the details of this great legal contest. Uo can find them in the Mississippi and Louisiana reports of the time.
So large a public interest is rarely excited in a civil cause. Sympathy was largely in our favor, the exceptions being of that, class which could not bear the thought that a woman born a slave should become the owner of one of the finest plantations in the state. But Coralie's romantic story had won the anient people of that section to her support, and frequent proffers of material help in the struggle were made to us. The generous friendship of Mr. Dorion enabled us to thankfully decline them.
In the last days of 18(10 we were entirely successful. Courts und juries were with us. Possession was given to my wife the day before Christmas of that year and such a holiday carnival as was given to our overjoyed and affectionate "people" upon the occasion, think the whole state could not elsewhere show. The Dorion family came down to enjoy the festivities, Miss Celeste bringing Mr. Simon Barnet along, whom she had given (as she expressed it) the legal right to abuse her.
Conrad linstock disappeared where, it can only be conjectured. Rumors of men shot in gambling affrays at Matamoras reached us in such away that we supposed him to be among them: but his fate, or whether he isyet alive, are matters of the greatest uncertainty.
The happiness of Coralie and I was rudely broken by the storm of civil war. To few was the situation more painful than to me. Of northern birth, attached to the union by habit and early education, all my interests, my ties and associations were at the south. 1 rlid as others did. 1 "went with my state." Heavily, indeed, was the ruthless hand of war laid upon us. Hostile parties met upon our lands, buildings were destroyed, crops trampled down, stock driven off. Those years were years of desolation and terror.
And all this, thank (!od, has passed away. I'cace smiles again sectional hate and passion arc disappearing: the union is supreme, and the old tlag is venerated at the. south. Slavery has
perished, with all in it that was food.
Is the best remedy for
all complaints peculiar to women.
A.Y0UN6 GIRL'S FORTUNE,
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.
Nothing appeals so strongly to a mother's affection as her daughter just budding into womanhood. Following is an instance: "Our daughter, Blanche, now 15 ypare of age, had been lefribly afflicted with nervousness, and bad lost the entire use of her right arm. She was in such a condition that we had to keep (fcIC AO Qi {"nr a a an on I 0 1 1 I I sons. In fact, we feared St. Vitus dance, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have had that terrible affliction. We had employed physicians, but she received no benefit from them. The first or last August she weighed hut 75 pounds, and although she has taken only three bottles of Nervine she now weighs 106 pounds her nervousness and symptoms of St. Vitus dance are entirely gone, she attends school regularly, and studies with comfort an0 ease. She has recovered complete use of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles' Nervine has brought her.
When my brother recommended the remedy I had no faith in patent medicines, and would not listen to him, but as a lost resort he sent lis a bottle, we began giving it to Blanche, and the effect was almost immediate."—Mrs. R. K.
