T >.?* Oo^llno TTT rnf & JLviv^LUXJj VI WJL iJU VttWUUM) n*vw li: m. a letter, in which the correct ideas of a tariff are so tersely put that we SNiiil make i few extracts fn m it. The princip'cs can..be applied by our leaders themselves llA tariff so high as to prevent importation will, of coarse, cat off revenue * * A protective tariff discourages import-uion, and, as a rule,' the less the importation the less the revenue. A prohibitory tariff stops revenue entire y. * * -No tariff tax at ail -would it vite foreign importation and tring iu ;:o revenue." The manufacturers claim that jio tariff at. a!i would destroy American manufacturing indu-isies. This may or may not be trat-, but as the North Carolina constituent says, "we have protected our manufacturers from competition will, the outside "world at the expense of ihe consumers until our manufactu-ers, like a hothouse plant, can not grow outside of a hothouse or a hot climate. The/ have been protected and fostered by the Government until they rely upon legi-'aflor. for profiis, life, and existence." It is worth mentioning that these people, uave been protected nearly <"'3e hundred years. If they can not compel" with the world, after aa experituc3 of ono hundred years, will they be any better off at the end ot two hundred ve^irs? Or three bundled? Or at .my titae? But we are compelled to have revenue to run the Government. It is a necessary ana indispensable evil. It is the price we all must pay for the '.ng an-.; arm of the Government and th" li.iv, which guarantee to us our iifo. liberty, and property. But this , __ b: n ought to be made as light and a-5 ea \ w) boar as possible and cons.ste. t wiih the safetv of the Government u:;d the good of the whole. In levying these taxes and locating these b..rd'-n?, they ought to be so levied and located as fo bear upon all alike. In class ought to be exempt from its pj -portiouatc part of the burdens; and ; o individual or class ought to bepe-nutted to levy tribute or contributions upon any other individual o_-'class. ISow. if this be true, the T-rzncIpIcs of protection are wrong per se. Then he continues: A Mgter tax on imported goods muss be levied, r.ot to raise revenue, hat to decrease ue revenue of the ^-v Government a??d to increase the reve"_^r ue of the ho:ue manufacturers, comsyndicates, and trusts. The kit a of -jevsLue to the Government, d 2S not eoter into the idea of pro- j teetion ner sei i Protection rmeans keeping out of foreign goodif and the raising prices of 1: rnemacie /goods. And this means less revenue^to the Government and more reven?u?- to the maker of Americ a goods \ ?.nd this means that the consumers' of homemade goods will pay two prices for their goods, not one to the Government and the other to thejeiaker of the American goods, bu^both prices to the American j ^/manufactur.T. Xcw, there is a medium between protection and free trade. Neither protection nor free trade means revenue There is a line between the two: it followed, will mean revenue. Protection t'u&i keeps out foreign goods will not raise revenue. Free trade that admits goods without a duty will not raise revenue. B^ut a duty or tax not 5o high as to exclude goods nor so lovr as to fall short of c\ rr.\n]^ 1 o fov fm* rorAnno V.iu^ ?? V/U. Ill 1/1/ CM IVi A 1/ V gii L4l/? A tariff that would admit foreign jroods in fair competition with American goods in Amsncan markets would raise the largest amount of revenue, unci at the same .ime would not destroy our Iiomt- industries nor give tbem an undu?. advantage over other citizt-Ls. The: would, however, still have an advantage over all other citizens, equal or about equal to the amount of the tariff duty levied. Bat U UUVi.

A tariff ?o arranged and adjusted, and placed v.: au articles of every kind ^u.l.cieni' - low to allow the easy impor'atio!: of goods would be a revenue i- ifl.

The tariff debate has settled one matter in reference to the issuing of bonds, which the country ought to know. The Republicans have claimed that the Wilson bill was responsible, because it did not raise sufficient revenue. Qaite a number of the speakers asserted that Secretary Foster as far back as Febrnarv, 1893, issued an order for bond plates for the purpose of issuing $50,000,000 of coin obligations to meet the requirements of the Government. Thi<? was denied by the Republicans, ??nd finally a certified copy of this order from the Engraving Rnrpau was Droduced. The Chief of the Bareau of Engraving was directed by Secretary to prepare the design. If the McKinley bill did not relieve the treasury, why should the Dingley bill. Itseetus perfectly clear, that the Harrison administration had it continued in power would have bad to do exactly wbatttu Cleveland administration did. In fact Secretary Foster was preparing to do what Secretary Carlisle did afterwards. With out grace then can President McKinley say anything against the issua ce of bonds by Mr. Cleveland's andmitiistration The fact that there was a de ficit under the operation of the Mc* Kin'.ey bi:i of $50,000,000 shows that it was a hill for protection and not for revenue. Tho Dingley bil! is no better. The Bailey policy seems the best. Give the Republicans plenty of rope, i e*r\A TTTi ii honor themselves. The I emu. i/UW Mil | most prosperous period in all lines | was daring the low tariff* of 18501S50. The statistics show tbi- beyond question. The high tariSs will react against the Republicans, and a la^te of them will be the best method of showing the country that th?y arc not needed. MB ? Will Figures d) not show that' protection has benefited farmers. Pennsylvania, perhaps, has reaped as much from our high Jaws as any State in the Union, and vet the figures show that the value of farm land ha3 decreased instead of increasing. In 1870 the value of farm land in that- State was $1,043,481,5S2; in 1880, $975,689,410; in 1890, $922,240,233. If a high tariff increases wages, why should the manufacturers want it. They are not an unselfish set. J All of those who appeared before the i ^v./) moont /vimmiffAff asked for I yy a \ o auu uivuiu w> a duty on (heir products in order that they might reap higher profits. They thought of themselves only. With our cotton factory about completed, steps should t>e laken this summer for a telephone exchange, electric lights and better streets. These things mark a progressive town, and as Winnsboro is now looking up and moving forward, these conveniences should be added. A heavy customs duty is placed on mineral water by the Oingley bill. Many emineut physicians say that some imported water is absolutely necessary in their practice, and that the tax is so heavy that it will practically prohibit importation. This is an illustration of protection. After ail of Fitzsimmons' assertions that he would retire from the ring, the fViof KnrcriK fierhf- anV nP.W SB lai/COL JLO IUC4I.

The farmers are taking advantage of the beautiful weather we are now having, getting their lands in readiness for the incoming crop. We are way behind with onr f.xrm work, but I havn7t lost our courage vet. We are all the^more determined aud we are going to posh oar work with & vim while this beautiful weather lasts. Most of our farmers have finished planting their upland corn and in some instances it is commencing to come up. The acreagesv? ill be ibout the same as last year. Cotton land is now being prepared; some has beeD planted; most of the cotton land though still remains unprepared. It | will in all probability be about the ! first of May before it will all be ready for planting. The acreage will be slightly increased over last year. The amount of fertilizers used will far exceed last year's (or any previous year's) record. Gardening is progressing slowly. Tbe cool nights we are having, I suppose, is the reason of it. Kadishes, lettuce and turnip salid are about ready for table use. Upper LoDgtown can boast <?f one Octogenarian, viz., Mr. Joe -Stewart, who is eighty-seven years of age. j "TTnrOp .T ss hftis familiarly called ! by bis numerous friends, can get I about well for one so advanced in years.

Promptly at 8.SO p. m. the meeting of the Epworth League was called to order by Mr. F. E. Hinnant, vicepresident of the League. After singing No. 58 of the Revised Hymnal by a select choir, Mr. Winn offered a fervant prayer asking God's blessing and aid for the League. Then No- 93 was beautifully rendered by the choir. This was followed by a recita - -3 #/ A I tion by Miss Belle Moore, eDimea -\a. Gambler's Wife." At this point Mr. Hinnantannounced that there would be a debate between two of the members. The snbject was, "Resolved, that Joshua was as great a man as Moaes." Mr. Hinnant ap* peared for the affirmative while Mr. Jno. J. McEachera held up the negative. Rev. W. C. Winn, Mr. W. B. Hogan and Mr. W. J.^Johnson were appointed judges, with Mr. Winn as ohfttrman. Mr. Binnant opened for the affirmative and spoke for Joshua for nineteen minutes, after which Mr. McEachem took the floor and for twelve minuteii spoke on the higher qualitiee of Moses. Daring this Mr. McEachern quoted several lines from the "Burial of Mo6es," which were vet y appropriately brought in and added greatly to the beauty of his theme. To give the judges time to decide who was the winner the choir were rMiuested to sing No. 236, but finding at the conclusion that the judges baa not decided and not wishing to order a mistrial, the choir 8aDg another hymn. At this point Mr. JVinn arose and said partly as follows: "Mr. Presideet, after considerable time and deliberation we have decided that both arguments were fmely written and we!! renderf d, bat knowing the affirmative to have the weaker side of the subject, and having so well defended it, we decide it io favor of the affirmative." The benediction was then pronnnnp.fifi and the visitors departed. A business meeting was then held, and as all meetings are for members only, an account of the business meeting1 could not be obtained by your correspondent.

Justice Says the Ferry at Asliford's Needs Attention from the Supervisors of New berry and FairGeld. Ntwbeivy Herald and Neves. Why will not the Supervisors of Newberry and Fairfield Counties listen to words of warning before too late. Time and again have their at tention been drawn to tiae condition of affairs at A6hford's Ferry. For the j last two years, matters went along smoothly, ard no complaint, but since the beginning of this year there has been nothing but complaint after complaint, but to no purpose. I Tbe contn.ct to attend to the ferry was let oat 1o tbe lowest bidder without any question as to qualification (one of tbe most necessary considerations) and gliven to a Mr. Ladd, who knew nothing whatever about a ferry. I wonld be safe in saying he had never pat a flat over the river ia his life before getting- the contract. Then he employs a aeai negro, **ueai as a post," and a boy at that, who knew as little as Mr. Ladd about a ferry, as ferryman. ."Now, those aire the parties whom the people of the surrounding country must rely for safety and protection in crossing the river, and in whoae handei their lives, the lives of their women and nelpless children are entrusted. Those living at a distance# from "Oflfo or?H hftTTinor littlp nr.r.&SlOn t.O ii.1 V4D) UilU UUIiUg AAVutw V ? cross, little know what risks and dangers they encounter while crossing streams with inexperienced hands. They generally trust, without question*, the judgmsnt of those in .charge. There, is a great responsibility resting upon the Supervisors, and they should see to it that' none but efficient and experienced ferrymen should attend ! to the various crossings. Better close up the road entirely than ran sucli risks with the,lives of the helpless. Aside from the dangers, there is i little or no accommodation. In the spring duriog rainy shells when farmers cannot plow they., wish to:' haul their guanos and s'other supplies. With a good steel wire and magnificent fiat, such as they fca^e at Ashford, with an experienced . ferrym'an, the river could be crossed almost' at any 'time.;white''the river .remains in the banks. ' But as it is if the. river is the least swollen the ferrvjn an claims tie can't manage the flat, and parties {ire xannant?ir lnrno/1 ft"' riifiianCG Of ug^uvuuj luiuwu .T/~ six or eight milesj ?or- save to wall hours opon for the fall ol'the river. ! Then, when Mr. Ladd has occasion to b8 absent trom his 6'tore, the negro will leave too, or being deaf ca-mot hear the call, consequently the parlies wishing to cross mnst either await Mr. Ladd's retnrn or not cross. This, on-one occasion, the writer knew t<? be a tact, and why is fcll this thus? Are the connties too poor to employ ? ?ood and experienced ferryman? cr cau they not be had? Good ferryman, like experts at all other trades, come high. The numbers are few, it i> true enough but a red ferryman should be employed or else Done The counties nor the people can take such risks, nor be experimented wi;h. The Supervisors should look ai:er | this matter, for should any accident happen to life or property the County is held responsible. By negligence Newberry County has already had to pay for a team of mules and severd other head of stock and vebick-s; while a neighboring1 county had tu pay damages of sever*1 thousand dollars throuzh the loss of life of a lady and child." All this, by not prop.irly j attending to the wants or require- j mentsofa well conducted ferrv. If people pay their .taxes to have ferriefor the accommodation of the public j they want good, attentive and sxt'u : service. Tha very idea of a. dear, inexperienced, worthless negro bov attending to a ferry where t>o much in life and property are at stake is prt posterous to say the least. i Now, if any" one doubts these assertions it can be easily proven by | numbers of people who lave had to j rwr.
