f he Press a ad Banner.1 By nu?h Wilson and H. T. WnrJlnxr.! Wednesday, March 15, 1S82, ; " : ?1 t: . : m Needless Test*, During thu lust few month* the Columbia and Greenville Railroad Com-|?;uiy have been clearing both bides o the road for a hundred feet. To d? lids they have had tocut down a gren <leal of timber. This clearing Iih caused irritation fdojYg the road, an? some land owners have even feareflint the Company was thereby asseri jug its lights to the {and itself. Thest fears we are glad to sav are ground less. An examination ofthecharte will show that the road has right o w?y to a margin of a hundred feet j each side of the traek. This include.-1 the rijiht to rtear the timber. Tin jl charter does not confer title to tin land. We feel sure that any irritation which naturally was caused by tin cutting down of trees will be removed , when the real necessity for this action I is known. The reason is this?the company is laying steel rails from Columbia to Greenville, and it has now reached Greet)wood, and as this work progresses the rate of speed is i increased to thirty miles an hour finch a rate is absolutely dangerous to the public where trees are allowed to grow close to the track. In the first place, trees obstruct the view abend, and in the second place, there is danger from fal'ing timbers in high winds or heavy sleets. It is thus seen that this work, which is a great expense to the road, is intended to promote the safety of the traveling public, by removing obstructions from the track, And preventing collisions. "It is n remarkable faot that both, casrs arraigned at the last court for murder, tlie parties were negroes, i KaHi party requested their lawyer to see that no*negro was allowed to .sit on j the jury in their respective cases. It! is a notorious fact that the black man, whenever he nets into trouble inadvertently turns to the white man fori iirotectiou and is perfectly willing to ick his bends ami do his commands until it turns to polities, and then hnj becomes his deadly enemy. Forgetting all trie favors the white man may have done fi?r 1dm in averting hunger] from his door or, perchance save hi*; Hcck from the halter. We are on the eve of another great political struggle. ] and we will have a chance to see the I depth of this pretended friendship, or| how soon be turned to inveterate! hatred*" The above paragraph we take from the Williamsburg lfcrald. There: wnomu tn hf? A DlVHtPfV ilboilt lH'CTO ill rors any way. We noticed from the Laurcnsvillc Herald a few weeks ago that no negro had been drawn on the jury in that cout.ty. In this county it is a remarkable fact that very few negroes are required to serve on the juries. More Good Names for Office. By refereuce to communications elsewhert to bo found in the Press and Banner it will be seen that Major B. F. Whitner, of Anderson, has been suggested as a proper man to fill the office of Attorney-General, and that Colonel F. A. Conner, of Cokesbury, is proposed for the office of Secretary of State. These gentlemen have alt the qualifications necessary for the of- j fiees named, and we are glad to see I auch good men brought into the race. The time is getting short, and if our; people want to have anything to say about who shall be their standard bearers they should begin to think! about the matter. The nominating convention usually meets in August, before any body, except perhaps the candidates, has barely thought of the election. Tcf insure a general interest in the campaign, we should begin work at an early day? Aiken's Spcceli. Col. Aiken's head is level on the tariff question. Read his speech and be convinced of the correctness of his portion. We have always believed the ^protective tariff," a most iniquitous proceeding. Col. Aiken believes the farmers are entitled to some consideration, and we endorse all that he says in their behalf. If our manufacturers! ' , cannot Bland the competition, let them ' quit the business, and go at some other pursuit. We see no reason for giv- j ing the iron mills $28 a ton premium i on their railroad iron, when just as! Iw. ]?ail fr-nm fni'^itrn I gUUU IIUU UI?J WV U??v? ??? '*' V.Q.. mills at about half the present price. The consumer should be allowed to buy whatever he wants, at a price regulated by supply ami demand. ? Depot at Asbnry. For a year there has been some conflict of feeling as to whether there aiiould be a depot at Asbury on the! -Augusta asdjKuoxville railroad and, without being sure of anything our-1 selves, we feel safe in saying thatthej matter is uow about settled, and Lliat | all things ?vill work together for good to those M ho want the depot. I'resi-i dent Verdery came to Greenwood last: { Saturday, and went to Asbury on a! tour of inspection and information, and! returned to Augusta on Monday. The belief is that he and the directors of the road favor the granting of the petition of the citizens of Asbury, though of vwuint nc \?w nvi c|*v otv vuc j authority. The track has now been j laid to within a very short distance of! Child's Cross Roads.. The cars are ex-! peeled at Bradley's Saturday night. Stolbrand Against Aiken. We have received the brief in the j case of Stolbrand against Aiken in the I matter of contest for the seat in Con-j gress from this District. It is an ex-1 eel lent paper, and but for its length we should present it entire to our; readers. J. J. Darlington, Esq., is' assistent attorney, and to judge from the ptiper before us, Aiken is in no danger of losing his place. The news yesterday would indicate that Dibble' from Charleston is in more danger from Mackey. The partition character j 01 uie cmmiiiuee, wuuiu give JLMUOiei but little chance, even if he had a good j case. But we shall see what we shr.ll see. More Mnrdcrs. Bud Minis was killed near Black-' well, last Saturday by his nephew, and two brothers in Cheraw quarrelled. The older killed the younger, all the parties being white. In every part of the State there seems to be an utter disregard of human life, and it seems that every man fee la warranted inj killing any man whom he imagines has insulted him. A little wholesome hungiugof criminals and the puni<?h-j inent of perjured jurymen would do much to purify the atmosphere. Our Judges and our Courts deal out terrible punishment for theft, but it seems that murderers go free in nearly every instance. It seems that the President finds greut difficulty in filliag the vacant Associate Justiceship-. If he would try South Caroliaus once his trouble <>ii that score would end. Almost any man here, who had not been to 8t. Petersburg, wou 1 take the place. Now that the campaign is opening, candidates ought to begin to electioneer with five cent drinks. It is too *0011 for a two cent candidate to begin 1 * t . fo stimulate one cent voters with ten ( ceDt drinks. ji Tea and Tariff. j i THE TAX ON" THE FAliMER TO support the }ha>tfacitreb. | Vr^umeuts nut!

The Chair understood the gentleman from Nebraska as statin*? that he did not wish to discuss the matter himself. The gentleman from South Carolina then rose and claimed the floor. The Chair recognized the gentleman from South Carolina under the impression that the gentleman from Nebraska did not desire to proceed. Mr. Valentine. I desired, as I stated, if my gentleman present wished to enter upon the general debate, that we should go into the House and determine that question, una tncreroro 1 move m;u inu rorr mittee now rise. Mr. Aiken. I believe that I have the floor. The gentleman from Nebraska lias attempted to thro,tic me and others, and I do not propose that it shall !>e done. The Chair has recognized me, and I rcspecfulIv ask to he heard. I hope the chairman of the Committee on Agriculture will not deprive me of the privilege. The Chairman. The Chair hegs leave to protect the gentleman from South Carolina by saying that he now has the floor, Till-: CONGRESSIONAL SEKD BUSINESS. Mr. Aiken. Mr. Chairman, it is neither my purpose nor desire to criticise this bill, for though I do not approve some ol its provisions, it has received iny indorsement, and will receive my support in its passage through the House. Hut I do desire to call the attention of the Ilouscto two or three of its clauses. Under the caption "purchase and distribution ol seeds," (lino 91,) ?60.000 are appropriated for this purpose, an amount too small to enable the Commissioner to execute the law correctly, because, of necessity, at least one-halt this amount must be expended in the distribution. In another portion of this same paragraph it is ordered that "an equal proportion of one-hall ol' all these seeds, roots, cuttings,"itc? "shall bo supplied to Senators, Representatives, and Delegates in Congress;" so that one-half ot every variety of seeds, plants, shrubs, bulbous roots, or other articles purchased must Ite divided Into at least 377 separate parcels. Section 520 of the Revised Statutes, organizing this Department, declares that it shall be duty ol the Agricultural Department "to proeuro, propagate, and distribute among the people new and valuable seeds and plants," Now, Mr. Chairman, if any new variety of seeds or plants should be purchased by the Commissioner in this or any foreign land for distribution, one-half theamount purchased must be divided iiUo 077 equal parts to enable each Congressman to have some otto of his constituency assist in testing its value. In my judgment it would be wiser to allow the Commissioner to distribute all those seeds to practical farmers, recommended to him, if you please, by members of Congress so that tests could be made upon a larger scak and experiments conducted in a mannoi worthy of reports. True, if seeds art scattered in a sort of broadcast, haphazard way over the country, though the larger portion may fall upon stony ground, some few may bo sown in good soil and bring forth an hundred-fold. But I feel assured, if their distribution were delegated to a fewer number of persons and the experiments made upon a larger scale, far better results would be obtained, and the agricultural public would be mucli more materially benefited. SEEDS TO ?E PLANTED BEFORE Til* FIRST TUESDAY IN NOVEMBER. Moreover, Mr. Chairman, I cannot understand why it should be the duty, the privilege, or'tlie pleasure of a member o] Congress to distribute seeds to any person, I do not doubt but that every Congressman is sufficiently circumspect to lie familiarly acquainted with the most successful farmers in bis district, oven thougli said district bo situated in the midst ol one of our large cities; for who knows every man he meets, or even those he never met before, belter than a member ol Congress, particularly w hen grave results are anticipated on the first Tuesday in the following November? Why, sir, these diminutive little seed-bags, containing perhaps the one-three-hnndred-and-sevty-seventh part of some rare and valuable seed, botnnically known bv some unpronounceable name, doubtless familiar however to the member of Congress, are potent to effect results in the failure. The.v are as effective as the famous tissue ballots, which after having served the term of h patented existence [seventeen years] in Yankee-land, is reputed to have sought an extension away down in Dixie. I mako the assertion, Mr. Chairman, without the fear of contradiction, that not a member on this floor h:iS ever purposely distributed his proportion of these seeds to those who were the most deserving. anel further, that no member has ever refused them to parties applying, even though he knew they were not sowers ol seed. Hence my belief, Mr. Chairman, is that the intent of the law has not been r, n,.,i I... ii.? ,.e injj and distributing seeds through the Department. Under this same caption there is a paragraph which reads thus; "For experiments in connection with the culture and manufacture of tea, in the discretion ol the Commissioner of Agriculture, 85,000." An appropriation of ?5,000 was made for a similar purpose for the year ending 30th June, 1881, and another of 510,000 for the year ending 30th June. 1*82. What portion of this $15,000 has been expended I am unable to say. I find, however, in the report of the Commissioner of Agriculture of 25th November, 1881, the following itemized account of expenses incurred by his predecessor fn attempting to prepare, at least to grow, if not to manufacture tea in this country, to wit: Surveying, $225; ftuiiUnc, S1I6; Iron wife. $3ft">; wagon and harness, $252; salaries, labor, expense account, <tc? $3.377.11; total., $4,335.11. It seems that the former commissioner located the site of his future tea manufactory in the State from which I come, and down there these expenses were incurred. The present commissioner reports to the President that? Iii order t<>ascertain the preciseconrll) ion of the experiment lietnsr curried on inSoutli Carolina. I direHed on July 0 Mr. William Saunders, tlie horticulturist of the Department, to proceed to Suinmeiville, mid to examine the premises and to report upon the woik Kl'I.L OF LIVINO STLKEN, VENTED SPLEEN, AND DISTORTED FACTS. Mr. Saunders executed liis niissioti and made{his report, which I, as his friend, reitret lie eversubmitted, f ?r it is full of living prejudice, vented spleen, and distorted facts. For instance, Mr. Saunders says: "The land leased by tho Department consists of two hundred acres, most of which is covered with a heavy forest growth," and almost in the next breath says, "tho soil is a poor, hungry sand." and "of a character to support only the scantiest kind of vegetation." lie further reports that? In a general way It may he stated that since 1st July, 18SD.

AIKEN* CORRECTS SOME ERRORS. Thus creating the impression tint the Government expended ?15,000 there. Whereas, Mr. Chairman, If the items reported l>y the present Commissioner are the only expenditures made upon thU farm (ami ho reports noneotheri the $5,000 appropriation made by the Forty-tilth Congress has not vet been exhausted, and tlie ?10,000 appropriation made bv the Forty sixth Congress 1 ins untouchedjin the Treasury. The climax of this report, however, is contained in the following paragraph: The position may he fairly represents ns follows: Having every reason to conclude tint the locality near Jlclntosli. Georgia, is too fur north Tor tlie pro<iucMon of teas which possess Miflieient strength and pungency to command the l>est pricp?. or even profitable prices, it is therefore considered proper to try the experiment at Sumnn-rvllle, South CarolInn, which Is one and a half degrees further north. Mcintosh, Georgia, is alluded to because the aKent.empIoyed by the former Commissioner discovered an old tea plantation there which he cleaned lip and t nlLivatcd tor one vear. when. Mr. Saunders I tolls us in his report, ho plucked fivo crops of leaves, manufactured ten from j them, and delivered the manufactured! article in the market at a cost of twenty-; rtve?eonts per pound. There is nothing iu this that looks li!;o failure. Jniluonced, however, by this unfortunate and inconsistent rep' rt, the present Commissioner further reports thai: Acting on :hlv advice, I h-ivcdlsyost.'d of rP j the untnii.tx except < ue !)<>r-c; have Vyiuoved) [ a larue portion >> She outfit to Washington,) | iiul have employed one p**r.?oa. y hose duty It I is U> look alt<er Hie growing plant*.

The place itselfls historic, and was the conn-1 try sea' of the ilrst colonial g ivcrnor. It has i about thirty acres of cleared land ; tho rest Is ! forest, which (he general was to clear up and ! plant In tea. In the center of the cleared! land arc the ruins cf the old mansion, de<- j j troyed by lire during the Kevoluti'intry wart and near by a''lake'' about one hundred by; I forty feet, having no outlet, and really a stay-1 | mint poo!, inhabited I y a solitary yet historic J alligator.

Unfortunately this experiment was nevt r car-1 I riot out, and no one now knows whet her a j , malarial goblin can climb a sixty-foot pole or ! i not. R.it the "jrrand boulevard" was com-i j menced, it was to come from the depot, three mile* away, in a straight line, very wide ami j imposing, to cross the "lake" by an orr.amen- j | tal iron bridge and go under the bungalo. ! Great live oak trees were removed out of the j way, no chopping down with an uirl.v stump > left standing, but Government contract style, 1 grabbling them up roots and ail.aiid when a .sufficient qunntlty of this very valuable! I j timber was collected, a blir fire was an easy I way of removing it. So the "improvements" | went on. ami the landlord's heart was j ivftti. j ,| Last.

I.K>rluir,that very dear-headed ! man of business naturally looked at the sum 1 total of co-t. nnd then at the tea plants. Itj was an easy calculation totind out how much ; i they cost apiece, and the sum was hardly re- ] ronVllable to their valu<*. The truth wn?, Ihci [ drmtor could not see the "improvements," | could not realize the advance lo tea culture j i that a reconstrnc'ed colonial mansion, hlsto-' r rlcally corrcct, with an avenue three mites, . long, would bestow, .so he sets his font on, i- the whole business. Hestopped the "improvements,'' aotl.au it were, put the garrison on i bread ami water. Now the Government tea jfarin lie* dormant. The people here are all anxious to have the experiment itierl, while . the landlord is most indignant, and threatens dire ventrence on the authorities for putting an end to the general's improvements, i What will he the result of the experiment , J under Government patronage Is hard lo say ; i but one thing Is very certain, that the lea J plants are thriving in a wav that we never ' i see surpassed in China or Japan, and 111 it the ' | leaves will make tea equal in every respect to 11 any growth in the world I had the best, of evi11 deuce. But will it pay? Perhaps not with the General's "improvements." I Ol'K TEA INDUSTRY NOT TO BE STRANGLED BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT ' FAILED TO BUILD A BEDSTEAD SIXTY , FEET IIIQII, AND NEGLECTED TO SPAN A MVD HOLE WITH A SPLENDID IKON ' BE IDG E. | Now Mr. Chairman, are we to be , thwarted in our efforts to develop an industry because of the extravagant folly of an official? The former Commissioner doubtless had magnificent ideas upon the j subject of Government improvements, but. this was perhaps because ol'his politi1 eal rearing, for lie was a member of that j party that claims to ho progressive in all : things and which stigmatizes economy as i parsimony. lint, Mr. Chairman, he has! gone, andlet his follies be forgotten if not; , forgiven. We have now, perhaps, a letter; I- man at the helm, and history is repeating I itself. I A THOUSAND YEAKS AClO?I'.IO LOT OK j ' j TEA. j More than one thousand years a'^o tho j !. tea plant was cultivated in Chioaand Japn j and loss than a century ago it was iin-j '] known in British India. In 1S-I0 the1 East India Tea Company commenced the culture of tea in Assam, and in a very [ j few years they had expended lavishly and ; and recklessly in the interprise more than j?1,000,000, and when upon the vergo of j bankruptcy they wore unable to induce I the London merchants to buy their teas. I A lack of pungency, not properly manipui la'.ed, inferior to the Chinese teas, were the objections to the East India importations in the home market. But English pluck and British perscverenco were not '[ to be deterred by such flimsy arguj | ments; their manipulation was improved '! their process of manufacture was perfect-1 ' ed, and to-day Assam teas are higher-j ir. ..I. 1l,? |Hirv*?i in tiii; nidi uuio ui uiu ui uum ; the tens of China or Japan, and nearly | ' -10,0<>0,000 pounds of tliem were imported ' | into Great Itrilain last 3*car from Assam, j ' while scarcely a pound of it came'to this) country. And vet, sir, we paid to foreign j merchants, chiefly English, over ?21.000,-j - 000 in gold for teas brought principally in j English bottoms from China and Japan! ' to the United States, TKA AND COTTON COMPARED. No, Mr. Chairman, we should not hesi- j tate to appropriate liberally annually for! j development of this new industry, for its I prospects are favorable, far more so than j | was the development of cotton culture a j " century ago, and yet we export annually i over ?200,000,0110 worth of raw cotton and | j consume one-third as much in our home j I manufactories. It was once contended that cotton could not be successfully j | grown north of a degree of latitude 1 which to-day is not far from the center lline of this great industry. Sir, within j ! my own recollection it was an accepted ; conclusion that cotton could not be re-1 inuneratively cultivated in the upper! portion of my own State. In 18">0 the four counties of Oconee, Pickens, Green- ! vilie, and Spartanburg scarcely produced ; a thousand bales of cotton each. In 1SN1: j thev exported over T>0,000 bales, and have' j within their confines as many cotton fac-; ' tnries as are in the remainder ol.the State, | having erected a half dozen since the war. j j Mr. Chairman, tea is a foreign product j j for which we pay annually more than $21,000,000, and it passes our custom lions-, j es without let or hindrance. I would not have it dutiable, for my confidence in : Southern soil, southern labor, and Amcii-l | can ingenuity and enterprise induces the ; belief that we can grow tea, free tea, in , j successful and remunerative competition 1 ! ?vith China, Japan, or British India. Hut,, sir, if protecti m were asked tor it would | not be granted, for the policy of the j American Government is not to protect 1 'the farm laborers, who in the aggregate| more than quadruple all the other A meriI can laborers engaged in any and all oilier! American productive industries com-. ! billed. All productive labor is either agri- | {cultural, commercial, or manufactural.! Of these three, considered in a national point of view, agricultural labor has never received a bonus from the Government. The other two !iave from infancy lived, moved, and had their being in the ! public crib. Hut we are not left without' hope. The Committee on the Post-Roads is on hand with an appropriation of $2,: ;">00,000 to subsidize some commercial linn i to carry our mails to foreign countries. 1 Why not open the door, Mr. Chairman, to competition 011 the high seas as well as j on lanu, and let the contract to the lowest, hiuult i 11)is wouid ue tneagnc.uiiurai, but perhaps it is not the commercial ; method of inaugurating a new industry or reviving a lost one. The Committee on Naval Affairs comes with a proposition to appropriate '10,000,( 00 to begin with, coniiidenL that in a lew years wo will possess a navy of ironclads, gunboats, and torpedo boats with which i we eouhl, if occasion required, batter down the heighLsof (iihraltcr, blow Kwg-1 land into the (jeriuan Ocean, and coin-) inand the peace of the world.

Hut lot lis look a little farther) j and investigate if wc can tiie subject ofj J enhanced wages. Wo have no means of estimating the 11 numbers engaged in exhuming the iron il ore from mother earth. Those digging, j 1 delving, hard-working fellows are not;1 Riitlicieinly well paid, nor perhaps of suf- j 1 ticicnt intelligence to be worthy of enu-; ] meration by the Census Statistical Iln-j' rean. Hut that other ela**, that well- j I paid, we'.l-fed, highly-favored set whoij have the privilege of working in the iron j; manufacturers of the United States, arc j1 reported as numbering 140,5)78, and to j! each of these is paid as his annual wages | ] the average sum of ?:j!W."il. or a total i1 amount of ioH,-170,785, or a little over one- 1 third the total amount paid by the people to the employers in the shape of protection. Or, in other words, the iron manu- ' faeturers pay their laborers 355,47i>,7?"> an r.ually, while the people pay through protection to these iron manufacturers C*l70, 110,0i!0. A ul the State of Pennsylvania, receiving through protection upon her iron production, is paid a bounty of $20,<>72.iM)i by the consumers of her products over and above the total amount* of wages annually paid by all the iron manufactories of the United States to all of their employees. Is it any wonder, then, Mr. Chairman, that out iron man- : niacin rers are able to pay large salaries 1 to laborers? And still less is there cause for surprise that iron manufacturers sire 1 protective tariff men, regardless of any 1 omer puase 01 men pomtcai ereiu i TUB WOUICMKN" DO NOT GET IT. Iiut, Mr. Chairman, there is one aspect of this subject that does provoke my surprise, and that is that any sane man should attempt to prove or should even assert, as we have had it asserted, repeated, and reasserted several times in the same speech since the assembling of the present Congress, that (.)0 per cent, of the manufactured products of our country is labor. Strange infatuation! Unless tiglures lie, and unless our census statistics| area f and, the bounty paid iiy the tariff! to the iron manufacturers alone of the! single State of Pennsylvania is morel titan 50 percent, in cx cess of all t!ie wages j paid by all the manufacturers of iron in 'all parts of the United States. lint, Mr. C'htirman, let us examine an| other phase of this kaleidoscopic subject. ! In 1SS0 the aggregated capital invested in j iron and steel industries in the United! Stales was fiJO,5)71 ,NS4. Of this amount I 100,247,000, or 40 per cent., were invested j' !in Pennsylvania. What the market value of the annual product of this permanent investment is I have no means of knowing, but I do know that, be it what! it may, it is enhanced in value by protec Hon to the amount of ?170,440,000 or 70 per cent, upon the capital invested throughout the United States, and 8."> per cent, upon the investments in Pennsylvania. Vulgarly the bondholder is denominated as lloated because he pays no tax upon i his investment. What shall we style the man whose investment is annually enhanced in value nearly 100 percent, by! the bounty of the. (iovcrnnient? Wise as i serpents are these i? on-clad protective i j tariff men. for they have cajoled bothi their employees and Ihis great government into the belief that the tariff is an institution founded expressly for the pro-1 tection of the laboring man. Suppose j these laborers, imbued with that spirit of rebellion which the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. KelleyJ told us yesterday he had seen manifested in his State in opposition to the supervision required by ] our system of internal taxation, were to I strike for a co-operative distribution of, the earnings of their own labor, think ' you, Mr. Chairman, it would amount to no more than 35 per cent, of the bounty , paid these manufacturers by the government? In airriculiure labor is frequently j estimated as half the valno of the pro-' duet. In iron manufactures it is less j than 35 percent, of the bounty of the gov-j; ernment, and yet it is claimed to be 00 per' ,.mit <W till, v'.ilnn .uvnn. ! lion really seems farcical. tllH COTTON TIB FRAUD. Mr. Chairman, how insatiate is the I greed of humanity ! Not content with their already dazzling iiK'i.mcs through the bounty ol' the Government, these iron men are attempting to increase and doubttess will increase, the la rill' upon that class of manufactured iron in which is included "cotton ties," a description of iron that affects the pockets oi th . creates*, numlier of the poorest laborers of this! country. These laborers are, however all farmers, who seldom feol tho helping hand of a paternal Government. The duly on cotton ties some years ago was 70 per cent ad valorem. For some reason, not 1 pertinent at this moment, this duty was reduced to 3> per cent, ad valorem, which is about three-fourths of I cent per pound, j The bill familiarly knows as the MeKinley bill proposes to restore the 70 per cent.j tax or increase the duty three-fourths of 1 cent, pel pound. Certainly such a tax;1 is only a mite when imposed upon an individual farmer, but what is it when ag- 1 greicated upon a cotton crop numbering ' millions of bales? Each bale usually has six ties around it and they weigh ten pounds, hence the levy upon each bale is ! 7J cents. The crop of 1S.SJ will doubtless aggregate 6,000,000 bales, and hence the ' tax on the 000,000 ties that bind them will amount to llie sum of ?>430,000. Now, j sir il'lliisc simomil cuiild !><> <?>)hwtoii ' our customhouse ami lie tlien covered in-1' to the treasury, not a farmer in the Souh I' would complain of the tax. lint when ! we know from past experience that it will I; all go, oral least $14:1,000 of it, into tlieL cullers of less than a half dozen cotton-tie'! manufactories of this country, we can r l>ut denounce the proposition as an ell'n t j* to rob the many for the bom lit of the IJ few. i 'f Hut, sir, the cotton farmer is blandly j told heshould not complain, for inasmuch j. a> he buys these ties at cents per pound i. or less by retail, he sells them around his j ** bales at the net price of cotton, SJ, 10, or j J 11 cents per pound. This plausible argil- j1 nient does not warrant an unjust tax. I But however plausible the proposition, it!', is not true in fact. The price of cotton j1 in the South is regulated by the price in j' New York, and the price in New York! depends upon the price in English market r" which is gradated by speculation and not ]11 by supply and demand. If this Congress," wonlii or could impose the penalty of the ; , hangman's rope around the neck of every . man who dealt in what is known techni- '! cally as "cotton futures," positive and j direct protection would be given to the j cotton planters in so far as they are de-j IVau(led by the gamblers of New YorkiJ and elsewhere. Hut from the influence j; of the Liverpool market they can never : , anticipate protection, for English cotton!1 buyers schedule the price of cottons as if . every purchase were made of the net lint, i \ A standard tret is dcducicd from (-very c hale as it is weighed, which is an absolute s loss of twenty pouud-i to the bile, the 11 weight of the bagging and tie-*, and this loss talis directly upon the producer. Hence an increased duty upon tiie cotton ' tie would he a direct tax up >n the farmer ,l for the benelit of the manufacturer. T1IK OMi rilY. i c Mr. Chairman, there i.sanother foaluip (1 ub-mt the iron industries ot our country * worthy of attention. Iron iriauufactnrers t never a<iniit that a reduction of the tarilf r will injure their investment; they always p issert that it will completely destroy f> them. Away hack iu 1765 the iron iiiami- 4 laeturers of Pennsylvania jietitioned the 1; [ eneral Assembly to prevent the inipor- 1: Latino of foreign iron by a prohibitory :arill', "or there would be a total stoppage a iml destruction of that verv useful and ei jenelicial manufacture" in that province. T Krout that ilay to this the echo of that t< ippeal has been reverberating through ei hc.se halls, growing louder and more p<>- t; cut as time rolls on. A low years ago, II 1 hen tho duty 011 cotton Hps was reduced om 70 to 3-1 pur (tent, ad valorem, v e wore s3nredllr.1t there would be mamifaitoies closed up and laborers with <iopon- f out I'm:uilies thrown pennile.* upon an , iu*liarit:sbje world, and threat sulleriiig in j' jnsKjuuni'O. That gaunt spectre, tins 3 a 11 per laborer of lSuglanJ, was to step | ight in and impoverish our cotton-tie lamifartiirers. Alas, for these prophets, 1 usu I is warranted r.o such anticipation. 1 n the contrary, tim factories were kept r.sy almost night and day, the price o! otlon-tics to the farmer wore reduccd I price more than the reduction of tli. j utv, and nobody seems to have been in II red. I Jint, sir, this cry of "destruction to th< i uterprise if you reduce the tariff" seeui.eciiliar to the vocation of maoufictur i<*. When in the Forty-tilth Congreslie duty was removeil from quinine we ,'ere assured the manufacturer's oeeiipaion was gone. High priced quinine, diiIterated quinine, 110 quinine at all , ere the prognostics of the future given s ,by I ho vpiinine monopolists at thai ime. lint what are the facts in the ease? 'wo months before the Vepeal of that uty quinine sold in this city at :f> an mice, for I bought it at that price. Subequently I bought it at 84 25. A year go I bought it at "-J ">J. *Sineo then it was old for ?1, and to-day can bo bought for?:i"). We Ir.ivo heard of noennsrquentsufming. Mr. Chairman, nor of adulterated j |iiiniue, and the factories are at work, 1 ml receiving all the net earnings their auor ueservus. T1IK TARIFF ON KICK. As with cotton ties ami quinine, so it voulii bo with pig iron, Hessemer steel, ut hails, or any other industry now too liirh'.y protected by our tai ill'laws. I)o lot understand me, Mr. Chairman, as adocating tho repeal of the tarilf in toto. .'ertainiy in this lato day, when we are ippressed with that internal system ofl aSation which Air. .felfurson doubtless haracterized and denounced in stronger angnago than that attributed to him by he gentleman from Pennsylvania. |Mr. vellev,] and when we are burdened with i heavy national debt, no reasonable man vonld desire to see the one repealed, the >ther entailed-upon prosperity, and our aistomhouse doors thrown open to for igtiers to the detriment, if not ricstrucion, of all home manufactures. I imagne .siich a proposition never entere.1 the >rain of the most extreme Freetrader, i bit I do not, doubt but that a majority ofj iie thinking men of our country have! on torn plated and do desire a reduction of he tarilf upon most of our manufactured i irticlc*. In my mind it is apparent that m pvutcction siiouid be given any article >eyond that which would place the prolueer upon an equal footing with the for ign producer iu the home market. For n.Uance, 100 pounds of East India rice an bo delivered in our customhouses: or $2 J)0. It costs our home-producers 01; rice S-l 33 to plaeoalike quantity* iti our! 101110 market. The difference is il 4:5.1 I'o tiiat extent I would protect the rice planter of mv Slate and no more. The present tarill' on rice is.'>() -per hundred pounds. This is $1 07 more than the difference in the cost of prod u^lioii here and j production abroad, and just that much more than it ought tol><\ iieeanse it is taking l?y law from the ccusiiimr of 100 j pounds of rice Si o", for w liich no earthly | equivalent is given in return. And Hie same rule would hold good, Mr. Chairman, with all other protected article.*!, and, ?ir, I am sanguine that with this reduction our manufacturers would not shrink from competition with all other nations, nor with the "Isliuiaclito of nations." ? <t> ? Flic Evidence That Vaccination Protects. The continued prevalence of small-pox iviturallv keens the subject of vaccina lion before the public minds. lint it has been made additionally prominent hy the noise of a lew anti-vaecinatoi**. Tlieso latter Kentlciuen talk liravely, and there is so wide -an ignorance of the actual truths regarding vaccination, that I hey secure a much larger audienco than they deserve. The practitioner is not nnfreqtiently [ ailed upon to tell why he believes in vaccination ; and possibly at times sotno puzzling statements are made to him, lurishud tho laity hy a demagogical philanthropy. The opponents of vaccination, aside from the falsehoods which they tell, get the basis for thvir arguments in following facts: One vaccination, contrary to tho hopes of Jcnncr, does not in all cases protect for a life-time. Many neglect re-vaciuation, consequently there is a very large i.umberof vaccinated adults whonzestill susceptible to smail-pox. Vaccination is too often poorly performed, or else the virus is not good. Statistics can be easily manipulated, and it is in the ingenious twistingof tin e, in suppressing and perverting facts, or In drawing unfair inferences, that the groatests talent has been shown by an-tivacci nators. Tlio parading of individual and exceptional rases, the statistics of special epidemics, broad assertions regarding subjects of which we have no complcts statistics, such as the old-time prevaleu -e of small-pox? ail theso go to ^wt-ll the indictment. We present now some of the statistics regarding tne cflicacv of vaccination, lor the most part not given in a previous editorial upon this subject. Ami first, as regards tlio reduction of mortality without reference to the frequency of the disease. There are no absolutely accurate figures showing the general prevalence of small-pox in Ji.irope previoiis to Jenner's time. Tlio molality rates of the great city of London, however, are known. In the years 1829-:J5, iu that city, the deaths from small-pox were about l(i,0CK) per million inhabitants annually. In 1728?57, and 1771?80, Iho rate was aliout 18,000 per million. On tlieother imnd, during the forty-two 3'ears from 1837 to 1879 this rate was only 410 deaths per million inhabitants, a decrease to one-fortieth. Other facts show this not to hp simply a coincidence or a decrease in tlic malignancy of the disease. In Rugland and Wales, in the years 1838 to 18)3 (except 1843?40;, prior to compulsory vaccination, the deaths from small-pox were 421) per million inhabitants. From 18)4 to 187'J, after compulsory vaccination bad been introduced, the rate fell to 208, per million, or less than one-half. To show still further the influence to vaccination on mortality, we may cite the mortality amoug children. Between 1818 and 1S.)2 about (>!) per cent, of tne deaths from small-pox in Kugland vvOro among > ?--? f T\. IMIll'.li UN UIIUU1 IIVU JUill-l IH A11 UIU years 1S7;$?77, after compulsory vaccination (which was applied chiclly to children )?tho mortality among Liis class fell to 115 per cent, of the total. As regards, now, the actual prevention of llie disease, as well as its iiuiiiiisheii virulence, there aro the following facts: An.ong 15,171 eases of small-p >x ^een in the London hospitals between 1876 and 1870, about three-lourtlis were among the vaccinated ami ono-fourth among the unvaccinated. UutlKipercentof ihe English population are vaccinated ; hence, if these latter two1- the diseaso with equal readiness, there should have licen twenty-four times as many cases among thcin, instead of only three time-. lint further, the term vaccinated includes all who have a mark on the arm, no matter how oM or how poor it is. It is stated that among the above post-vaccinal cases there was no instance in which the marks were of llio best character, .showing etlicicnt vaccination. And finally, despite the poor vaccination, the mortality among the vaccinated cases was only 8.8 per cent., while unongthe remainder it was -14.4 per cent, j According to the familiar ligures of Mr. Morson, among l.'j.7(Jo c;ises of post-vacnal small-pox theie were only I,;">(),} who I liad etliciout marks, and of these only 13! Jied. In the Stock well and Ilorrerton Hospitals, in 2, 1182 cases the mortality among hose with good- marks was less than four j per cent., and this seems to be the rate! usually found. i iiu u^urus ki vt'ii i r-,u uini; :>m;m-jjwa.

In 1S78, among , teamen who were not rarely exposed, hero were only nine eases, and these vere mild. In the army, sinee 18ii">, there las been an average of one ease per year unong 80,000, excepting the years 1.S71-72, vhen small-pox was severely epidcuih: 11 England. The laets showing the protective power! md necessity of rcvuccination are very j mportant. It is since the introduction ] >1" revaccination in the army and navy hat small-pox has practically ceased to sxist there. In small-pox hospitals it is ilwuys the rule to levacclnato the nurses md attendants. The result is that am->n? he revaccinated attendants of over -lo.ooo :ases of small-pox, covering a period of' nanv vears. there is no instance in which , lie disease was taken. It will he seen from the foregoing that j ill statistics candidly studied, show that aecination protects. They also show j hat thorough vaccination and revaccina-; ion aie necessary, it is the opinion of[ ill*. JSrnnst Hart, who has most ably i ummed up the evidence for vaccination i 11 a report on the subject, that one ruvaccination at about the lime of puberty is ullicieut to pre tcct lor the remainder of me's life-time. ThesUatisiicts we have given relate to lie use of humanized lymph. Theellicay of bovine lymph was originally tested i ud demonstrated by Jeniicr. There are I lot as yet many facts collected regarding ! lie bovine lymph, now so extensively inployed in this country. All the evi- j enee, however, so far obtained, goes to j hew that it is Mlicient. Dr. Janes, of I lie New York City Health Board, has' ecentlv stated that, of Hit! cases of smallox admitted to the hospital in this city,! 1.2 percent, wero aijiong vaccinated and 7 ncr cent, among unvacciuated persons.
