AGITATOR ONCE MOKE. Agitator comes out boldly and asks us to advise our people to j 4u the Republican party; that because the policies of that party have made the North rich and the South poor, we should j >in it aud get some of i he bounty's K5 grabs from the treasury. lie usks us to take a different view of our Government from ;hat intended by the framers of the Constitution, -i tax, according to Lim. w act tier, curec: or;*.u;rtfci, is uvi> siruoly a payment which the citizen makes to the. Government for the service rendered by the Government in the protection o> his life, liberty and property. '1^ as lis the South to j an the smugglers In . maggiing the treasury. The Xorth Irs tapped the public till, for the benefit of certain classes and let the So.:tL join in the general scramble. i)espcil the treasury; become a parti cep> criainls, a-ici then you cave a riglt to shave h: the booty. This is his iangua^e means and nothing e!^; can be made out or it. We revise ? Co it. it was never the intention fi-ii- Government that taxation shoe d be levied upon all to enrich a few. It is wrong in an economic senee; It is wrong constitutionally; it is morally wrong. A tariff tax such as we have belongs to that class ..f taxation which places a tax on importation into the country, cr ss it ras !>een expressed "on cot> veyajce" into the country, and as Mr. Joiic iStu -ri. Millvsays: To whichever class they (taxes) belong, and at; whatever stage in the progress of the commodity they may be impressed, tLey are equivalent to an increase of the cost ot production." This artificial increase by a tax has the same ef-' feet cn the consumer as an increased cost of production by natural causes. 'Ye quote Mr. Jjhn Stuart Mills, the great political i-oouomist, again to show what is ,r >v a very common nlace truth, vi." ? o>v ?-eeasiL'-jil'tr xai's on the consumer, lie si-.ys: "A t.x on any one commodity. whet laid on its production, its impo . lion, its carriage from , place to place; or its sale, and whether j the tax be a fixed sum ot money lor a jriveii quantity of tbe commodity, or an ad valorein duty, will, as a general rule, raise the value and price of the commodity by at least the amount of the tax." This must follow "so as to compensate .he producer or dealer for his peculiar burden." Mr. Mills also mcnt:02:s the fact that there must necessarily be restrictive regulations 0:1 the manufacturers or dea'ers in j order to prevent evasions of the tax, and these are always sources of anand exnrnse. and tbe dealers I must have cor?---.citation in the price of ih^ir [cDmni-.-ciity. Considering tbe growth of huge monopolies and trusts iu this country, which, it has been asserted, are th-5 creatures of our unj nst tariff legislation in restriction of trade, the following from Mr. Mills is a -striking foi^cast of our times: "Farther, the necessity of advancing the tax obliges producers and dealers to carry on their business with larger capitals. * * The pr ce ot the arti cle must DC ?t;cu as to aiiora a prujuu on more iha-. its natural value, inste ttl of a profit on only its natural value. Neither ought it to be forgotten that whatever renders a larger capita! neccssan iu any trade or busiUC5 licit? 'he competition in that i busiue<c, and, by giving something j like annnopoV to ^ few dealers, may , cnab-m hem i-> keep up tin price beyor..' w: at v. )uld afford the ordinary rate .f i roil. " Look at tbe Standard ()":! Trust, the bugar Trust, The Iron Tj ust and ail of them. JLet us sup pose that custom houses were built* around Faille:d County, and no piece of cotto.i.cl. th should be allowed to crosc the lhio until a heavy tax was paid on Does Agitator not know th it our j'aatory here would add to the natural value of its production this iirt'lioia: value? Doesn't he see that ! li:e consumer would have the tax to j ; .7, and the owners of the cottou factory here would get the benefit at t::.. expense of all [other classes?

Secre-i tary oi State under Lincoln, in advocating a tarifflower tha-i lie tariff of 1S40, said: "Every dollar legislated out of the pockets of the people be-1 yond the "wants of the Government is legal robbery." Even Mr. Sherman, irrlSGS, said: "Every advauce toward a free exchange of commodities is an advance in civilizition; every obstruction to a free exchange is born of the same narrow, despotic spirit which planted castles on the Rhine to plunder peaceful commerce: every obstruction to commerce is a tax upon consumption; even facility to a free exchange cheapens commodities, iu! ureases trade and population, and pro motes civilization." Judge Cooley, ! the most eminent constitutional jurist Jin this country, says: ?'The incidental i benefit which any enterpiise may I bring to the public has never been j recognized as sufficient to bring the object within the f-phere of taxation. | Therefore the enhancement of values, which may or may not occur, is not sufficient consideration to tax one man to build up another man's private business. The disci imination by the State between different characters of occupation, and the favoring of the one at the expense of the rest, whether that one he farming or banking merchandising or isilling, printing or railroading, is uot legitimate legislation, and is an invasion of that equalit of right and privilege .vhich is a maxim in State government.

T&xitiou for tbe protection of any article, and to tho extent of excluding thai articlc from importation, is wrong in an economic sense, constitutionally, and morally. It makes no difference whether it be a product of the Sjuth or the North. "When the door is once opened to it," as Judge Coo ley says, "there is is no lino at which we can stop." me umn ui this observation is abundantly illustrated in our tariff legislation. Instances could be multiplied until this whole paper would be filled, but it would hardly convince Agitator. He seem 5 to have made up bis mind that he wants to pay a tax to help somebody else make money out their private business, and as the Republican party advocates such a doctrine we presume he will laud there in spite of anything tvo mtcrVih env Whpn hft talks. hOW ever, about the Republican party wipiug out sectional lines after the war, he might find it interesting to read some political history.

Agitator Wants the Soath to Join the Republicans in a Raid on the Treasury That a few May Become Rich out the Money Belonging: to all. I .?>. Editor: At almost every S'ate fair j they have a trained monkey?saia , monkey has the art of dodging down so fine that it is impossible to hit him with a ball. Now while I do not and would not for a moment compare you to a monkey still when it comes to rWiaino An issne vou could sive the vw?? r> ? - w monkey points. When my first article, advocating a division, was sent yon I really desired ; to see it discussed, and if you thought . a division undesirable, to give some I reasons for your views, but instead | rou grasp at every excuse and beg the I question all the time, taking care, | always not to discuss the real idea of ! my article: "Is division desirable." It is true that we sometim9s find it difficult to deal in abstracts but in this case, knowing the white people of the country and the State in general, it would require no great effort to give one's views as to whether or not it was desirable for them to divide. Two years ago this question could and won Id have met with but one answer, but cow with that one obstacle removed we find ourselves in a hole as it were and forced to beg the question. It is noticable that you do not attempt any defense of our so-called Democratic party. You are in a measure to be commended for that. I am afraid it would take an abler pen to justify its acts; almost everything having been done apon the ground that the end iustifies the means. Your reasons for objecting to a .Republican party as one wing ot a division I do not think will stand the test. Suppose you take that and on its merits show why it won't do. It is the party lately endorsed by the voters of the country. It stands for the rights of American citizens; it stands for the honor of the government and foi the maiotainance of its credit; in fact I might say it stands for about all this coautry of ours has done. Did you ' -1- ?~ lfiV VVo ever iqiuk wum uui wunu? .! =. .. ~ speak of our govei iiment as ibe grandest on the globe; our liberties, our institutions and our laws?in fact we often fail of words when describing it. Did you ever think of it that we made the greatest strides within the last thirty years and then did you think that with little exception the Republican party had been at the helm all the time guiding the ship of State? Coming into power on the eve of a long and bloody civil war its birth was anything but auspiciuua?it was tried as few governments or political parties are tried and gained a victory?then when war had. ceased a peace more trying than war ensued-an effort to unite the different sections?jet withal the party was not tound wanting but under its rule the country has gone forward in leaps and bounc's until now we regard ourselves among ihe llrst (if not the first) nations of the earth. And .with all thi?, when the party has shown its ability to take charge of (he government both in war and in peace, do you say it is dangerous? Dangerous to what and to whom? Has its so-called paternalism and cen traiizauon worsea iue yieao jujui _> that yon would have us believe? If it has showii its ability to guide the affairs of a great nation pray where would it be dangerous in our State aud county affairs? r>h you will i-av its paternalism and centra izatiun ideas wc would not. have taught outpeople?they would lead them astray out of the luld. Let me quote you: ''The Republican party having so long bad uninterrupted control it is ju.li liiat it sbould have jtn* pressed its theories upon the country, and especially the younger men of the country should liate been impressed with its policy of paternalism and centralization and become strangers to Democraiic theory" &c. Did you believe that when you wrote it? Well then, if these things are impressed on the minds of tbe younger men and they ? 5? are "strangers lu ucuiuwau^ lucui;, tell me how the Republican party would be dangei'Ous advocating this doctrine when by jour own confession the younger men believe in it already and are in voar party creating no disruption? Do you consider them dangerous? If your iheory is such that jour younger men are strangers to it but are impressed with Republican theories, isn't it sajing mighty Utile for \our theories? You can't argue that it is because the ReL li.A .. . AM^r* t-? r% rs VvrvAV* ?A 1 Avi?y > V* puuuoau JJai i v uas uccu ou iuu^ xu power. Our State government has been 20 years Democratic and no liepublican doctrines taught here. Why is it? The younger men are possessed with more tban an ordinary degree of intelligence and must be thinking for j tbemseives?this itself is contrary to ' South Carolina Democratic \ "<ncip!es. I If the younger men are impressed with these permicious principles and are not considered daDgerous as they] arc now, why should they be con-' fidered dangerous under the Republican party ? Bur, you say, the Hepublican parly would advocate protection for American industries and their workmen; | well suppose it did. If South Carolina had anything to protect would you oppose? Do you oppote the protection on rice? Hv tue way have you ever noticed a Southern Democrat ?howheh^wls for protection when any litlb industry starts up in his district, it's all free trade until it begins to leave out sotne of our industries and then how we howl. Did you notice jiiaaaox, oi -oreorgia, a jew days since begging and securing protection on bauxite a Georgia industry? He like other Southern Democrats "is for free everything-. I? your party consistent on this point? "if not can you argue consistantly against the theory ? If so opposed to the idea it is somewhat of a surprise that you allowed John JJcLauren's speech to nees nnnnhV.p.ri. Isn't it time the South consulted its business interest and not so much our so-called political feeling. Isn't $elf-presec7ation above party platform? What is wrong witb tbe theory tbat if we mud have 1 protection we will get as much as we I can? The Xorth and E^st have be- ; come rich and'prosperous on it while 1 the South has *tood aloof and has lost { untold millions in the transaction with ( a country like ours?it is difficult to ] frame a bill tbat suits all sections but mat presents do reasunauie argumeui against the theory. It is hard to 1 frame laws that suit all sections of a ] State. Don't you think oar congress- j1 men must be sometimes just a little bit , impressed with these misleading theo- , ries and heresies? Well vou may say j the South derives no benetks from the * tariti. Granted, out wbose lamt is it. ; Witb the Republican party it has been 1 "how often vronld 1 have gathered 1 you under my wing but ye would not" "Help your enemies" is not a 1 political doctiine. If we get no bene- * lit from the system we nave no one ' to blame but ourselves. The Sooth, ? if she had desired, might have enjoyed greater benefits aud I look for the time I and that Tery soon when we will be- I gin to work for oar own interest. I There is no need to go any further I on this line. Ia your comments on I my last article you several times mis- r 3uote me, and I find several things I with which I cannot agree. However. I I will not go into a discussion of them j now I do not care to say an} thing that would i^ive an excuse to get oil the subject but ask for discussion on the division question simply.
