The Delaware peach grower is on
record—and he stands alone probably
in the world's experience—as speaking
a kind word for tho tramp.
He does not want tho tramp
arrested wherever ho shows his
ubiquitous and uncombed head,
for the the tramp is an essential
clement of the Delaware pearh as we
«Ity folk see it. "No tramp, no
peaches" is the flat of tho grower. The
tramp no doubt congratulates himself
that at last s <mebody hss been found
who will speak a kind, if wholly inter

The Charleston News and Courier is
becoming wide awake in behalf of cotton
manufactures in tbe South, and among
other things says: "There ie no reason
why a pound of cotton should leave the
South la crude form." Tb!» is said in the
right spirit, and it indicates tbe change
that has come to tbe people of that quarter,
There arc, however, several good reasons
why tbs Soa.h should export cotton In bale
(or many years to roms. The South has a
very decided advantage In tbe manufac
ture of ;ootu>n, yet it doe* not and for
years cannot manufacture enough of the
staple fabrics to supply the home market.
At [rfssnt Ue mille do not generally tarn
out ether than the low grade fabric«, euch
at Orenburg», yarns and coarse sheetings
Bat there Is a movement there to under
take the production of tbe higher grade«,
and even the highest produced in this
eountry.
Thiels encouraging to ell who bold that
we ahoald avail careelves of all natural
advantages for industrial development
Once tbe planter denied that it was tbs
true policy of this country to control cot
ton manufacturera. Ha Insisted on the
policy of selling hie cotton in Liverpool
and baying his cotton goods ia Manches
ter. He taagbt that it was better to bay
cottons where they were cheap. His dream
was to control ths etude product, leaving
ctle-s to go Into the details of skilled
production. Oar Charleston contempo
rary was for years the most inveterate
apostle of free trade, denying every enco
llai that it now affirms. Instead of teach
ing that this country should export its raw
material, It teaches that it should embark
enough of cspltal in mills and machinery
to work ap every pound of raw cotton pro
duced. This, it good argament (or cotton
is good tor every raw product, and ft is tbe
protectionist ground. ,Tbe new South com
template« all that tbe advocates of protec
tion ever contemplated in the matter of ds
velopemonl of resources. It doe» not pro
pose to remain rupine and confine iu enter
prise to the production of low grade goods.
As tbe sharp competition works a redaction
ef profits on such goods, it proposes t» un
dertake high grades, in which, competition
being lew, tbs profit» are graater. All this
is to the lias of diversification of industry,
which we may say is the object and aim of
protection,
Thera U no quasi ton of the wisdom of the
policy announced by the News and
Courier. If the South cm work up every
pound of Us raw ootton It produces it will
be a great advantage. It lh* West can
convert every bushel of wheat it raises into
tear that will be a great advantage. It Is
much bettor to sell ootton goads than raw
•otton, and It is better to sell floor then
wheat. Bvsry cjt.'oa mill and every flour
mill «ideas the field of labor for the
mues». And it it in this way that protec
tion, by developing varions industrie»,
finally beusflu labor. Th» new Soath is
wiser than th» old. and it is becoming
practical without knowing it. Not jut
bow, but all in good time, the axial point
of the faighsit economy will be shifted to
the South, and tbe Southern people willde
mand protection as earnestly as they once
repail« J it. We congratulate oar Charles
ton contemporary upon having mada tbe
passage with so little friotio» sod with so
much suocsse, only reminding it that with
protection it is all or nothing.

An Old Sweetheart of mine.
As one who eons at evening o'er an albnm
all alone,
And muses on the faces of friends that he
has known.
So I turn the leaves of fancy till in shad
owy design
I find the smiling features of an old sweet
heart of mine.
Tbe lamplight seems to glimmer with a
flicker of surprise
As I turn it low to rest one of the datz le In
ray eyes.
And I light my pipe In etlance, save a sigh
that seems to yoke
Its fate with my tobacco, to vanish in tbe
«moke.
'Tie a fragrant retrospective, for the loving
thoughts that start
lato being are Ilk« perfumes from the blos
som of ths heart;
And to dream the old dreams over is a
luxury divine,
When my truant fancy wanders with that
old sweet heart of mine.
Though I bear beneath my study, like a
fluttering of wings.
The voices of my children and the mother
as she sings,
I feel no twinge of conscience to deny me
any theme
When care has cast her anchor in tbe har
bor of a dream.
In fact, to speak in earnest, I believe it
adds a obarm
To spice the good a trifie with .a little dust
of harm;
For I hud an extra flavor in memory's
melancholy vine
That makes mo drluic the deeper to that
old sweet heart of mine.
A face of lily beauty aud a form of airy
grace
Floate out of my tobacco as the genius from
tbs vase;
And 1 thrill beneath the glances of a pair
of er, or* eyes.
As glowing ss tbe summer and as tender as
.the skies.
I can see the pink sun-bonnet and the little
checkered drees
She wore when flrtt I kissed her, and the
answered the caress
With the written declamation that "as
surely as the vine
Grew 'round the stomp she loved me," that
old sweet heart of mine.
And again I feel the pressure of her slender
little hand.
As we used to talk together of tbe future
we had planned.
When I should be a poet, and with nothing
else to do
But to write the tender verres that she set
the music (o.
When we should live together In a cosy
little cot,
Hid In a nest of roses, with a tiny garden
spot.
Where the vines were ever fruitful and the
weather ever flue,
And the birds were ever singing for that
old sweetheat of mine.
When I should be her lover forever and a
day,
And she my faithful sweetheart till the
golden hair was gray.
And we should be so happy that when
cither's lips wt re dumb
They should not smile in heaven till tbe
other's kiss had ccme.
But, ab, ray dream is broken by a step upon
the stair.
And tbn door is softly opened and my wife
is standing there;
Yet with eagerness and raptors all my
visions 1 resign
To roest the living presence of that old
sweetheart of mine.

TmUui on who Tariff.
The Press (New York) tariff talk to
day is taken from a recent letter of
Adam J. Hurke of Albany, N. Y., to
the Albany Citizen, in reply to the free
trade spseoh of ' Congressman Tracey
on the Mills bill. Mr. Burke talks di
redly to the point, and we commend
his words to those who are honestly
striving to get at the rights of the
tariff question, Mr. burke says:
"Again our misrepresentative gives
as au illustration of the benefits that
will accrue to the workingmen from
the free trader's bill: Supposa 12 pairs
of shoes can now be bought for |30—
under the Mills bill they will be bought
for $25 50, a gain of $4 50. By what
mental process ho worked out this
problem so as to get the aforesaid re
suit 1 cannot tell, as the 12 pairs of
shoes never paid one cent of duty.
The calf from which the skin was
taken was born and raised in the
United Slates. 7 he tannery that
tanned it is loeated in the United
States.
"The men who made the shoes are
living in the United States. Where
does the Mills bill lower or raise the
price, when everything belonging to
the shoes is now produced in the
United Stales? But our Congressman
says the shoes should bs mads in
Europe, and be, under the Mills bill,
admitted free. Then what would
become of our workingmen? They
would have to be cut down to Euro
pean wages, and even then they c:uld
not compete, as there is a era* < In this
country for imported goods, and they
would find a market even if we could
produce as good an article, and a panic
would bs the result.
"Suppose all the articles enumerated
in the Congressman's speech be admit
ted free, viz : cook stove, crockery,
cheap glassware, cheap cutlery, car
pets, sugar, molasses, salt, clothing,
shoes, wool hats, furs, ladies' bonnets
and hats, all kinds of firmers' tools,
medicines, thread, needles, thimbles,
scissors, etc., b ankete, umbrellas, cot
ton hosiery, under shirts, window
glass and starch. All these, he says,
can be manufactured in Europe so
much cheaper and the poor man will
be that much better off. What a mis
leading statement. Where will the
poor man get employment? Who will
then pay the mason $3 day to work on
a house?
"The landlord cannot rent for over
$4 a month. Who will pave our
streets? Who will use our shoes or
carpels? Where will the money com«
from to support our local inatiiutiom?
Who will patronize our grocery stores?
Who will eat the farmer's butter and
eggs? Ho will suffer thus by not hav
ing a homo market for his products
Some free trader will ask what they
do in Europe where the men have to
work for the same wages as our mo
chanics would have to if the tariff was
taken off. 1 have been very recently
in Europe, and what I found them do
ing there was living without animal
moat or any of the luxuries the
American workingman enjoys.
"As one Englishman said to me,
'Our country is one vast almshouse,
and will so remain if America don't
take off her protective tariff,' and
adds: 'Do you think Cleveland will
accomplish anything for us?' This
Englishman now works in a house on
Heaver St. He could not wait in Eng
land until the English representatives
opened this country up to English
manufacturers. What will the farmer
he bene lifted by free wool?
American farmers compete with Aus
tralian farm»rs.
How can
"In Australia one man and four
dogs can attend to 5,000 sheep. In
this country, where we have severe
winters, one man cannot provide win
ter food and shelter for more than ten
sheep. What will be the result? A
clean sweep of that industry. Australia
will „furnish this country with wool
as she has as many sheep as oil the
world, and can produce as many more
for one tenth whnt any nation on earth
can. Should a war break out and En
gland stop the wool, our sheep gone,
what would became of us? Just think
of it."
