WINNSBORO, S. C. Wednesday, Febraary 2, : : 1S97, THE STATE AS A GUARDIAN. With the genearl tendency of too much ligislation is the tendency of too much effort on the part of legislators to regulate everythitv. This has bee.i a great evil in national affairs. This tendency to regulate the citizen has led to the elast'c powers of Congress to attempt the management of what should be left to the States themselves. Congress for a r.umber of years discussed the regulation of State elections. It ha> attempted to regulate the natural laws of trade by h;gn protective duties. xne instances of natio lai legislation looking towards doing somethingfor (he cit'z5n that he i ought to do for hiouelf are so numerous that many instance-; will leadily suggest themselves. The aiding of the PaciSs railroads is a spacies of legislation of this class. To th:s class of legislation, it can hardly be doubted the paternal theories of the Populists owe of their origin, such as Government ownership of railroads, telegraph companies, "the sub-treasury plan," and similar schemes. Th& general tendency of legislation has been towards the theory that the Government is a sort of guardian of t.jc individual citizen^ and must control hi n, protect Mm, and direct his pii^ate business jast as a personal gu-.'d; u would do. This idea and concer-lon of the functions of Government has so grown among the people that now species of legislation are s;rijrtaly advocated that in the early histor- of the Republic would have been jvgarJied "s wholly repagnant to onr institutions. This conception 0/ :'ue duties anil powers of Government: il:e natural outgrowth of the doctrines of the Republican party. Itegini'Iiig wi;h the na!ional"(jtevernmoiit, it Las^ gradually spread into It is significant too (hat it first r^ade its appearance in cot.ipara':re'v new State?, such as !N'o?t?* Dakota, South Dakota, Xebra^ i. K-..usas &c. These and other itaie-- brought into the Union during !he ritin;: t i.sis new school of constitutional powers of Congress are the uiost radical in their demands as to whit the Government should do for the individual citizen. .Now South Carolina, we fear, is abvUt ;o follow this new school. A bill to regulate the number of hours a factory hand shall work is a product of the genera! tendency the times. The good old soard Democratic princi: e is that the State ought !o do r.ot'niug 1 or a citizsn that he can do for himself. If a factory hard works himseif too bard, he can certainly work less, if he so desires. Why should legislation seek to control his work any more than that of any other laborer What would be thought of it, if a law should be passed that a merchant should keep his store open only for so many hours a day; that his clerks should not work more tban so many hours a day; that a bookkeeper must close up his books at a certain time ol night,end stop work; ihat a lawyer should not work bat a certain number of hours a day? What would our people think of it, if a law \va> parsed that r.o farm laborer should v.'wk ever seven or eight hours a day? They would say ail of such legislation was v,-10112:, and that it was a matter with which the; Government had nothing to do. II this kind of legislation is continued, we shall not be surprised if a biil is passed some day defining exactly what hour a citizen shall eat, what he si ali ca\ when he must go to bed, when he must ^et up, what he must j wear, arui in short the State will j re.ul -v everything. ;:mutidment to the bill requiring tr .:s 10 stop at all stations is a wise compromise. Under the amendKi .w thro ig'. vestibules are not required ^ slop. S:\W\TOK A I.LEX i-> OppO?C(l to aUV j tli-r ?; ':i V:e inauguration of the!

We doubt i if there over wis a President w hu has j p .vni-e.i :n-ro. The country is m such a slate that he must bring pro?p:ri'\\ if the pe >ple are to bz sativti d ; w!l!i his adniixUtratiou If in- rnak<s even a fairly good Pre>idon", the ! people wi 1 not be c..-ne:!t< d with him Perhaps, after all it would be best for ; hitu to take the Prerideu's chair with 1 just a? little ceremony ss possible. LET ITS GIVE HIM DUE CREDIT. We constantly hear of ;e>;ile abusing President Clevelat.d, and saying that he has done no good. This is wrong. lie has done a great deal of good during his second administration. While there are a great many things that we wish he had done, still in j critising him, we ought n?t to ore:'I look the good Lis administration has i accomplished. The principles of his j administration are more correct than it:o.?e acivocaiea uy .mciuux-;. iwu u??> j follow . His administration has been characterized by cconomy, and Democia:?, although opposed to him. I ought not to lose sight of this fact. | A comparison of the expenditures! under the Harrison administration and j the Cleveland administration is in'e! resting. Take the second admini^lia[ ionofMr. C eland. For the lineal I year of LS93-JL ending 30th June, Mr. Cleveland reduced the expenditures from the previous year by $15,952,674.6G; lor 1S94-5, $11,829,931.54: 1895 6, $4,015,S52.21. It, thus appears 1 that under Mr. Cleveland, the expenditures have been reduced every year from the previous jear. This i-irtt hn fnromttpn hv those Who 14Vb VV *v<?v.vv.- J say that the present Democratic administration hss done nothing for ibe people. Again Mr- Cleveland ha? taught the people, as 110 other man has done, the falsity of the Republican doctrine of protection, lie has impressed on the country that tariff | taxation, legitimately cx-nciscd. has | for its object the raising of revenue for public pnrposcs, and that protection is a mere incident of such taxation. While the Wil-on tariff is not | satisfactory to the country, and was I not to Mr. Cleveland himself, yet itj has done a great d'~al of practical I good. When did you ever know the time that you could buy a suit of clothes so cheap? Did you ever know blankets, and all of the necessaries of life, so cheap? Take some of the bills you made under the Ilarri-.on administration and compare them with bills made under the adminisnation of Cleveland. The comparison will be instructive, we are sure. We mention these facts, i.ot so much for tbe purpose of defending Mr. Cleveland, but merely for the purpose of showing that too of:en j when we begin to criticise too freely j - ? ** 1 we see all evil ana noinuig irwu. ms g? ! The first issue of "The Religions i Outlook," edited by Drs. McPheeters j and Brimm, of the Columbia Theo-J logical Seminary, is just out. The J typographical feature is most excellent. The first i^sue promises well. Tip. articles are able and broad. TLe list of contributors is a ^uaraiitee that the excellency of the first number will be sustained. Although ''"The Religious Outlook'-' is published principally in the interest of the Presbyterian Church, the pditors hope to s;cure the services of distinguished writers and scholars cui side the Presbyterian Church. Albert L. Rice, of New York, thai hp saw a svnoDsis of Gover nor Ellerbt's inaugural in the Xew York Time?, and that he is jo much pleased with the tone of it that he wan:s to build long through lines of railroad? through this State, if it C:in be shswu tint the roads would pay. He will fu:r?ish one-half of the capital and the company the balance. Whether Rice has thy money or not it shows what infl ici.c t'i? Governor's policy has on outs'd) c-ipita1. The Cape Fear and Ciuchruiii Company should communicate wiih Mr. Rice. It is worth whiie to finu out v. ho and what kind of a mm he i The hill to allow countics to borrow from iho sinking fund commission, if pa?sed, wou'd certainly help the debt riduen counties very lunch. We confess that we are not clear as to the good faith of this bill. Mr. Pa'ion called attention to the fact that this fund was pledged as security fur the payment of State bonds, and he thinks that it would be a breach of good faith wi:h the bondholders lojend this money. The money i? now loaned upon Sta'e bonds as security. Mr. Patton thinks that the Act authorizing this ought not to have been passed. The counties now borrow money at seven and eight per cent, and frequently the money is borrowed from the very people whoobiain a loan from the sinking fund at Ah. per cent. The inon !n ,n?it ps wnn!(] hn absolutely safe if the General Assembly would see to it that the taxing power \>as used to pav back the joonsv. Banker Gage, of Chicago, *ho will be McKiuley'e secretary of t ho treasury, will bo remembered by thof-e who have re id Coin's Financial School. lie wa^ a frequent spec'ator in little Coin's audience. He doubtless draws a big salary now, much more than he will get as Secretary of the Treasury. A man making a comfortable support ought not to envy any man who is to fill the responsible position to which Banker Gage has been called. The monetary system of the United States is not an easy thing to manage. The people arc di-s-ui.-lied with it as it i-, and it will be hard for any man to give satisfaction. The Republican policy of adding in^re revenue will be met with indignation, I nn.-JtnsMom! tn Mr MfrTCinlov's I only remedy; tor present conditions.
