Some of our Third partizans say that the tariff is only a raw head-and-bloody-bones, and that the Democrats are using it only to frighten the people, but Governor Northen, the alliance governor of Georgia, whose interest is in the people, does not seem to think so, for in a recent speech in that State he made the following illustration of the necessary articles for a working man, and the amount of tax imposed by the tariff.
The account added up $101.50 and out of that $33.50 was tariff tax. A whole bale of cotton tariff out of a one-horse farmer and Mr. Watson's platform doesn't say anything about the tariff.—Atlanta (Ga) Journal.
