THE NEWS AND HEBALIX_ WiXXSBOHO, S. C. p. sr. JssivE, ) v Paoptueso-as. Q. OA VIS, > P. M. BRICS, : : : t Bdito n?f.-vHa?1rt IRftfli ITCUHCSUO), Wviuuvi XV, . - j TUfs Trust aad the Tariff. j It is very fortunate for tbe farmers | of the United States that the cotton bagging trust has chosen I he presen t timeto play Its pranks. It makes 110 difference to the purchaser whether an iucrease of prices is caused by the prevention of foreign competition through a tariff, or the throttling of home competition by trust. In either ? Tr.r\r,nrv?Jr ic CPf>nrPf5 ! ftllli the CAOV/ a. tuvi4v?;vi; ?v vv*7 characteristic of a monopoly is that one man enjoys it and another man pays for it. A year ago, when there was free competition in the manufacture of bagging, the price was brought down, through competition, to seven and eight cents. Then came the "combine," and farmers must pay twelve and fourteen cents for the protection of "home labor," while they themselves get no more for their own cotton. The farmers are justly indignant, ' and they have manage.] to arouse more excitement and indignation over fhic mrinnnnlv than has been seen in a long time. Now the bagging trust will cost the farmers not more than a million dollars. On the other hand, the tariff, which is based on precisely the same reasoning as the trusts costs the Union two hundred millions directly and six or seven hundred millions indirectly. While the trust raises the price fifty or a hundred percent, on bagging alone the tariff raises prices fifty per cent, on huudreds of articles, on tics, on gins, on machinery, on fertilizers, on clothing, 011 Jiedicincs, on 'sugar, on crockery, and many other articles needed by the farmers. If every purchaser could realize not only that he is paving five cents too muoh on bagging, "bat also two cents too much on iron, two cents on sugar, fifty cents on a hat, two dollars on a blanket, one hundred dollars on a steam engine, ten dollars on a suit of eiothes, and so on, his indignation would know no bounds, and he would indeed reverence Cleveland for making the tariff a leading issue. Jnat as the farmers are beinjr swin died by the bagging trust for three months, so they have been swindled by the present tariff for twenty-three years. They can judge of the force of the argument that they ought to pay millions a year for protection for the take of having a few cotton factories in South Carolina by asking themselves whether it is worth while to pay five cents a yard more lor cotton bagging for the sake of having a little bagging factory in Charleston, which is in the trust. Again, the- tariff makes the trusts possible, by checking the healthy influence of foreign competition and making consumers purchase everything at home regardless of cost. This enables the producer to ask his owu price. Nothing is wiser than to encourage home enterprise when it can supply wants cheaplv, but to give two prices for one articlo simply because it is produced at one's door is to start out on a steep declivity to bankruptcv. ^ i xi._ ?.TJ U'roin tne trust leave uie isnu, ?uu then get mad all over, and stay mad until something is done about it. The C ontest in Xcw York. New York being the pivotal State in the Presidential contest, and New York city the pivotal city of that State, anything connected with the Democratic party of the city becomes a matter of national interest. The mayoralty election occurs this year in the city, and the two great factions of the party, Tammany and the County Democracy, after several conferences, have decided to nominate candidates for the city offices separately. The County Democracy has renominated Mayor Hewitt, while Tammany has placed Hugh J. Grant, the present city sheriff, in nomination for the same office. A n,/,nt;r./irnf MIOTIC (\T1 S LUOVJllX*^ Vi ? we suppose) was recently held, which also nominated Mayor Hewitt. "VV hat lends interest to the country generally in this local contest is the effect it may have upon the national ticket. It has been held by politicians of both factions that a straightout fight ou both sides would have a tendency to bring out a larger vote than a united ticket conld command. This seems quite plausible to outsiders and woald doubtless do good. If the election of the mayor is subordinated to the chief consideration, the election of the President, then all would be well, but if the greed for public pap should cause either faction to make the local contest the chief issue, then Democratic prospects would be quite gloomy in the city. Tammany and the County Democracy both, "however, in making their nominations, nledze their enthusiastic anil undivided support to Cleveland and Thnrman, and they both wil] doubtless roll up a sufficient majority for Cleveland to insure him a victory in the State. The New York Star, a staunch Democratic paper, says of the action of the two factions: "Oar only anxiety is regarding the Natioual and State tickets. If they do - - . no? suffer, we can afford lo regard the outcome of the local situation with complacency. If every Democrat will pledge himself to make the election oi President and Governor the first consideration, the local contest may result in a positive advantage to the party. The disadvantaged, as we stated yesterday, the unfavorable impression it will create throughout the countryLet it, then, be the pride of Democrats of every faction to show that all fears of disadvantage to the National and State tickets are groundless." As a matter of history it may be interesting to know that Hugh J. Grant ran for mayor in 1884 and was badly defeated by Wm. IS. Grace, the candidate of the County Democracy. m t o ' ? JLUC AUiiCAiiiiuu ui V(uii?ua? The latest idea talked among politicians and statesmen, outside of the Presidential contest, is the proposed annexation of Canada to the United States. The proposition most considered is the payment to Great Britain of the sum of ?300,0*30,000 for this vast domain. Whether the scheme will ever amount to anything is quite doubtful, but it is certain not to become a fact in the immediate future. What use Canada could possibly be to us with its 500,000 square miles of territory aud 5,000,000 of people has not yet been explained by those who advocate its purchase. Already we have a3 much territory as we can conveniently handle, "and are pretty well supplied with population, so much so, Y? fWIIII indeed, that the question is being serioc3ly discussed in all parts of the country how the rapid increase of foreigners can be checked. Yet according to the annexation scheme we would dump in at one load 5,000,000 foreigners into our body politic, who having lived under a monarchy are ignorant of our methods of government, and who, besides in a great measure, epeak a difierent language. They would not be like foreign immigrants who move among : our own people and in a measure be i conic uui uyuiu i ! and parcel of us "while remaining in their own country among their old associations. As the Greenville News suggests, too, what would become of alf the little knights, baronets and other wearers of Dominion titles when they come to this Democratic conn| try? 1 Senator Sherman and other prominent Republicads are advocating the echeme, and it is said that the question is looming up in the dominion in political and other circles, and is destined to dominate all others. The idea at the same time finds much favor in i the provinces. Whether the people of the Dominion favor annexation or not we think the United States should not consider the proposition at all. We have as much as we can well attend to at present. The Manufacturers' Record says the remarkable spirit which animates the South is^ found in the fact that while trusts &re rampant throughout the country the only two that have materially afFectcd the South have been practically defeated. The first trust that met with decided and comparatively successful opposition was the American couon on trust. ii young Carolinian, Mr. Oliver, organised a $o,000,000 company to build independent oil mills. Within a few months eight of the best cotton oil mills ever built were in full operation and the monopoly was practically broken. The second trust tackled by the enterprising South was the "jute bagging trust." Owing to the exigencies of the season this trust has not. been completely demolished, but if a little more time had been given it would have met the fate of its twin brother, the cotton oil trust. Substitutes even better than jute bagging have been found and are now manufactured in New Orleans and Wilmington. The former manufactures baggingfrom cotton and the latter from pine straw, both of which meet all the J requiremeuts, and are destined to supplant jnte bagging altogether. The Record says it" can not recall the defeat of any trust in any other section of the country except the South, and thinks that in those facts can be seen the spirit of energy and enterprise which is building up the South. Truly, the South is at work audits people are desperately in earnest, so trusts had better shun this section, as the Record says. Ix speaking of the circumstance tnat a large part 01 tac conege professors of the country, who have given the subject life-long study, are in favor of tariff reduction and the economic principles advocated by the Democratic party, the New York Post says: Six of the professors of the Wesleyan University at Middle town, Ct., most, if not all of whom have been Republicans, have aunounced their intention of voting for Cleveland this time. We believe the right of professors at universities to vote any ticket but the Republican has long been questioned by high-tariff doctors oecause proffessors, being "theorists" merely, and unacquainted with praotical business, are unfit to change their party allegiance; becausc it is wicked to vote any but the Republican ticket, and therefore a pernicious esample to the youths they have in charge; and because it is ungrateful to the various high-tariff men and manufacturers who have at various times given donations to universities or founded theia. The conduct of these Wesley an professors will therefore cause pain and horror in many a counting-room, and will cause many a "ciear-minded business man" to ask'himself: "What is the use of colleges, anyhow?" We can suggest no remedy except a university test, like the subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles, which used to be exacted at Oxford and Cambridge. Give no professorship to any man who is not prepared to sign adhesion to the present tariff and promise to teach it in his lecture-room and his own family, without criticism or revision. The price of flour has risen rapidly during the past week owing to wild speculations in wheat at Chicago. September wheat sold as high as two , dollars a bushel. It was the result of a corner effected by a man named Hutchinson, who is said to have, made S6.000.000 bv the deal. The effect of . this gigantic gambling is that consum. ers all over the conutry have to pay about twenty-five per cent, tor the . siaff of life, while the producers of wheat do not get any^benefit from it. How long will oar national law-mak1 ers play at politics and allow snch wrongs to ran riot in the land? Only five weeks between this and the election, and the campaign grows exceedingly lively and interesting. The Democrats are qaite confident.of their ability to carry the same States for Cleveland that "voted for him in 1884 and have some hopes of other States. The Republicans appear to be equally confident of their ability to elect Harrison. The contest will be very close, bat there is more than a probability of Democratic success. The lady who ran for school commissioner in Union county at the pri* rnary, althongh defeated, will run as an independent candidate. When it ' is remembered that uuder our Stale oonsuiuiian see coma nor qnauiy as school commissioner, even were she to receive a majority of the lawful votes, the absurdity of her position is even more manifest than her inconsistency. The effect of the whole business is extremely ridiculous. Now that the State Board of Examiners has prescribed several series of text books for the public schools in the State, might it not be well for the county examiners to meet and select a series for the county? This plan has been tried in Newberry even before its adoption by the State Bou-d, and has proven most satisfactory. How's Tills!

Hot.- It s;ot its Xamo?Highest Point South of Rock Hill?Its Officers and Business Men?Churches, Amusements, and Other Matters Concerning It. The town of Rictecway enjoys the the distinction of being: the second place in the county in point of size and importance, the first place being- held by Wiunsboro, which has the advantage of being the county seat, and situated in the centre of the county. Ridgeway is locatcd on the (J. (J. & A. R. R., "twenty-five miles Horth of Columbia, and twelve miles south of Winnsboro, and occupies the highest point on the ridge dividing the waterrce and Broad Rivers, and is also the highest point on the C. C. & A. R. R. south of Rock Hill, being 600 feet above the level ot the sea. When the course of the railroad which runs through the town was first being discussed, two routes were proposed from Columbia to Chester. The one advocated by Mr. Wm. Lyles, of Fairfield, i and Mr. Sainl, McAlilly, of Chester, | and the other by Mr. Edward G-. j Palraor, of Ridgeway, who was afterwards elected president Mr. Lyles' route was pretty much that followed afterwards by the Columbia & Greenville Railroad as far as Alston, thence across to Chester. Mr. Palmers route was adopted and is the present bed of the road. This latter route was called the "ridge route" or "ridge wav," and this name was given the station. Mr. McAlilly jocularly called it the "Palmer ginhouse route," as it placed a shipping station within two miles of Mr. Falraers gmaouse. Air. Palmer's choice of this route, however, lay in the fact that it ran up the back of the ridge, and crossed only one stream between Columbia and Chester, the wisdom of which has been fullysustained bv the experience of the Greenville road with the annual freshets aud washouts. The town of Rid&eway was incorporated in 1874, and Capt. B. S. Desportes, now of Columbia, was its first Intendant, in which capacity he served several terms. At present the population of our neighboring town numbers three hundred souls, and the spirit of ptish and progress which is seen in so many other, places in the State is both visible and audible here in the stacks of lumber waiting for the rattle of the hamolvaorJtr mor<lffed 111 SOinft r?Mw Ui^/1 J t -??w? part of town. ?? The commodious store of Mr. I. C. Thomas, on corner of Palmer and Church streets will sho^iy be ready for his occupancy. Mr. C. P. Wray's handsome and stylish residence, on Fifth Avenne, under the direction of contractor Alexander, of Shelby, N. C., is rapidly approaching completion. Messrs. A. F. Kuff& Co., have jast added an extension to their already large store house. The 1 amber for the Presbyterian parsonage is on the ground waiting for the carpenter.

The followings arein contemplation: Residence, by Mr. W. M.Coleman, and Mr. H. W. Desportes, and store by Messrs. J. M. Wilson & Bro. The present officers of the town are; W, H. Ruff, intendant; I. C. Thomas, S. F. Cooper, R. D. Bolick, W. S. Jones, Wardens; W. S. Jones Clerk of Council, and J. A. Brown Chief of Police; cotton weighers, S. F. Cooper and G. L. Rosborougb.

The visitors to Ridgeway are entertained at two hotels?the Cofeman House and the W. J. Davis House. Two saw mills are running in the neighborhood owned respectively by Ollever and Morrison, and G. P.

One farm in this scction, yielded twenty-two hundred bales of cotton one year before the war, which will give some idea of the capacity of these lands. Although wide awake to their material interests the people of Ridgeway are not indifferent to more serious matters. There are six churches in town representing the Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, and Episcopalian denominations. The children of the community receive their primary education at the Ridge way and Mt Hope High Schools, presided over by Misses Nellie Davis and Henrietta Thomas.

As a healthy location Ridgeway has no superior, and probably as much money has been made by its merchants as by those of any other place in the State. ABOVT THE C. C. & A. ROUTE. Mr. Editor: The article on Ridgeway in your issue of the 4th is in error on one or two points. In selecting a line for the Charlotte & S. C. R. R. it never was contemplated or pro|^ed to take the route "that wa3 ^Rty much that followed afterwards h^Bie Columbia & Greenville R. R.^H6r as Alston, thence across to The two routes discussed wefl| the old staije road from Oolu'?H Winnsboro, and second, what\Uj^Ma the river road, passing throngM^? Bookter neighborhood, and \ tnen through the Ashford neighborhood to Winnsboro. This was several utiles east of the Columbia & Greenviut? route. No one ever entertained tainea the idea of a line "from Columbia to Chester," or of giving Winns boro the go-by. l well remeinoer uiu indignation caused me when a boy at school by the report that the ridge and sand hill route had been adopted. The distance by an air line between Winnsboro and Columbia was said to be 23 miles, and the addition of 13 miles to that seemed very unwise, to say the least. The stage road was 29 miles, and the seven additional miles certainly increased the cost more than the extra trestleing and grading upon the short route would have done. The excess of time and money lost by nil the travelers on the road and th-j increased wear and tear on machinery and track caused by the crooks (not counting the losa from diminished business resulting from lengthening the road) if calculated to (his time would amount to much more than enough to build a straight road from Winnsboro to Columbia. I never doubted but that the laying out the present route was a piece of favoritism like bending the S. C. R. R. out of its line to please the Fork planters, which has been an injury to Columbia and Charleston and the State generally from that day to this. The shortest practicable line is always the best, though 1 remember that some of the engineers of the C. &S. C. R. R., to allay the astonishment caused by the adoption of the ridge and sandhill rote, advanced the idea that the art of tracklaying had been brought to snch perfection that a train could run with more speed and safety on a crooked than a straight road/ G.
