Protection's "Benefits" Clearly Explained?How Prominent Republicans Talked in 18S3 and How the Party Leaders Talk Now. j [From the Xeic York Herald.] If a young man buys a suit of clothes for $23 the amount of protection he pays for is $9. The clothes without protection would cost $14. If he buys a $1 hat he gets 40 cents worth of hat and CO cents' worth of protection. If a young couple just beginning housekeeping buy a yard of Brussels carpet for $1 they receive 45 cents in ! carpet and 55 cents in protection?or say for a whole room, $12 woTth o^ carpet and $18 worth of protection. With free wool $18 would be saved. If the young woman pays $9 for a shawl she gets $G worth of shawl only; the other $3 she presents to the manufacturer to ''protect" him. x : If she buys.a dress for $18 she gets J $1*2 worth bf dress and $6 worth of protection." H, however, she wants a pair of I shoes, which formerly cost $4.5.0 to j $5.50r she has only to pay $2.50 or $3.50, according to quality, because some of the "protection" has been i taken off hides from which the leather j in the shoe is made. If she pays 50 cents for an iron pot , or pan she gets 30 cents in goods and j 20 cents' worth of protection. If she buys a clock for $3 she rertpiuah $2 worth of clock and $1 worth of protection. If she wants a sewing machine and i pays, say, $20 for it, she gets $11 worth of sewing machine and $9 worth of protection. ?* If she pays $16 for a watch, $12 represents the timepiece; the other $4 go to "protect" somebody. ! If she bays a lamp for $1 there is 55 cents in lamp and 45 cents tc "keep the pot boiling" for some "protected" individual. If she has to buy a range or stove for $25 she gets $17 in goods and $8 worth of protection. If she buys a dczen steel knives and forks for $3 50 she gets about $2 in knives and $1.50 in protection. If she buys a dozen glass tumblers for $1, she receives in glass 55 cents and 45 cents in tariff. If a young farmer buys $100 worth of implements to start out in farming, i he gets $55 in machines and $45 in ? tariff wind puddiDg. With the Mills bill passed he could get a hlrse and harness, as well as his implements, for his $100. If a farmer purchase^ a barrel of salt for $1, he gets 64 cents in salr and pays 36 cents in protection to companies in Syracuse, Warsaw and Saginaw. Look where you will, follow the whole tariff list now in force down, article by article, and yon will find the baDd of the public robber reaching for your pocket, to steal from every man, woman and child in the coantry. Since each musjt consurag something, so each -must be robbed. The essence of high protection, as a recent writer said, is the placing of obstacles in the way of trade. People are expected to build ships, to promote importations, invent machinery to increase and cheapen production; then the tariff steps in- to prevent the one and defeat the other. The inventive genius of the nation is called upon for scientific appliances to annihilate time, distance and other natural obstacles to commerce, snd forthwith every protection obstacle that can be devised is brought to bear to prevent the country receiving any benefit whatever frpm its skill and labor. Nobody can deny that since 1883 especially this has been'the policy of Mr. Blaine and Mr. Blaine's ignorant followers, who must be educated. And just now his G. 0. P. declares that the maintenance of such a policy will be the salvation of the conntry. Yet three of its greatest men? greatest in courage, intelligence and honesty?Grant, Garfield and Arthur ?time and time agaia called attention to the danger and folly of encouraging progress aud prosperity in the mechanical world, and th9n deliberately, by statute, passing ail the benefits over to other Dations. Tbev believed, too, in educating the generations up to that line of "protection" _ which was the greatest good for the greatest namber. ' ~ . Grant urged the pore-base of San DomiDgo, because he saw the advantage of uninterrupted trade with that island. President Garfield 'wanted Cuba for a similar reason. i. _ i *..ii : 1 , a rresiaem anuut lmpiuicu ncpuulioari8 in Congress to reduce the barbarous tariff trxation and pass a measure to relieve working people engaged io wooleo, iron and other ''protected" industries. But the Anglo-American "rings" controlling iron and steel, and the Anglo-FrancoAmerican riDgs controlling the manufacture aqd importations of fine worsted goods and cassimeres, said: "Oh no. If you reduce the tariff the poor laborer will fall to the lowest depths of pauperism.' By fraudulent representations and barefaced lying the tariff iniquity of 1883 was made to impoverish the masses so that a few might bo enriched. And the frauds and falsifiers who went to Washington and bulldozed Congress when that measure * *. i in i in11Mmi in ? Hud passed uro the buuie "disiuter- ! csted gentlemen" who now shoot: "For God's sake, dont give the work-^ ingman cheap food, cheap rent, cheap clothing and better wages; give him cheap whisky, something to degrade him and keep him from thinking too much, and a 'free chaw' of tobacco." The highest wages which the 140, 978 laborers, skilled and unskilled, irot for their work in the iron mills daring this year was $1.15 per day on an average, worked out by each clear headed men as Mr. Abram S. Hewitt, now Mayor of New York, and Mr. Swank, of the Iron and Steel Association. Note this is the "average" for those earning the higher pay. The ordinary unskilled laborer, the rank and file, received no more than 80 to So cents a day. Certainly a grand show.iug for labor in so highly protected an industry ! On the one band prolific milions, on the other hand honest poverty, the red-shirted laborer working six fall days or six fall nights?for. bear in mind, those big iron works run day and night, including Sundays?for the munificent sum of $1.15 at most on which to maintain themselves and families. ?> And, of course, they were expected to return thanks for the "benefits of protection" and vote on eleotion day to'keep the G. O. P. in power. The Cost of a Separate College. Some persons claim that a separate agricnUnral college can be established and maintained without increasing the taxes. They attempt to prove this by figures, and no donbt do prove it to tbeir own satisfaction. In other words, they are honest in what they say; they believe that the establishment and maintenance ofthe college would not increse the taxes. The figures given by those who claim that no additional tax will be required are these: Half the Land Scrip Fund $ 5,800 Fertilizer Tag Tax (sav) 30,000 Hatch Fund 15,000 * $50,000 It is a mistake to include the Hatch Fund in this calculation. That fund is appropriated by the General Government for experimental Btations exj clusively. Not a dollar of it can be used, toward meeting Ihe expenses of an agricultural college. Undter the law, it must all be devoted to experiments. In the event of a separate agricultural college, this fund should be^pent under its supervision and direction; but it cannot be used in maintaining the college. We mention this because the matter is not generi ally understood. As to the Fertilizer Tag Tax: <To appropriate that to a separate college would be simply transferring it from one point to another; and, of course, ' " * ' 'I the deficiency created at me point from which it would be taken would have to be made up to it in some other way. As this tag tax is paid indirectly by the farmers, it seems altogether reasonable that it should be devoted to their interest; but this does not alter the fact that to approi priate it to a college for them would be only a transfer from the agricultural department in Columbia to an agricultural college at Fort Hill. It would not be a saving at all?unless it is proposed to abolish the department in Columbia. That would not be wise, and we do not think it is contemplated in the Farmers' Movement. So, if the $30,000 tag tax be taken from the department in Columbia, it will have tojbe replaced by another $30,000 from the State treasury. Now, deduct from the $50,800 in the above calculation the Hatch fund and'the tag tax, and we have only the land scrip fund?$5;800. But this is not the only amount availablo for an agricultural college. Before the "reorganization" of the Siate University last year, the aoDnal appropriations for the maintenance of the South Carolina College were about 815.000 The appropriation last yeas, under the "reorganization," was $34 500. Most of this increase? say $15,000?was for the purposes of the agricultural annex. Now take this $15,000 and \, ' it to the Land Scrip, and we have $20,800 for the annual maintenance of a separate college at Fort Hill. Then comes in theCiemson btqaest, appraised at $103,321. In this appraisement is included the value of the Fort Hill place of 814 acres? $15,000; leaving $88,321. Of this amount the executor gets, under the terms o 1 the will, teD per cent. This leaves, as a permanent endowment 0$8O,OOO, in rouud numbers, according to the appraisement. This snm in; vested at 7 per cent, would yield J $5,COO a year. Now we have, for the annual maintenance of a separate agricultural college, according to the Observer's calculation, the following il6ms: Transferred from the "Annex" in Columbia $15,000 Half of Land Scrip fund 5,800 I Interest on Clemaon. Endowment fund 5,600 Total $26,400 That is about the cost of the maintenance of the Mississippi college and is just double the total annual income oT Ol&flin College. But where are the necessary buildings and improvements to come from? These will cost money?how much depends upon their number and character, and an estimate of the cost would vary accordingly from $25,000 to $100,000. Some suggest that the expense might be made up by reducing / mmhwmbbhmrnmmmmmmm i salaries. But the frieuds of tLo farmers'college are not by any means united on thisr a large proportion, probably a majority, are opposed to reducing salaries. This means therefore cannot be relied on. It certainly i would not be wise or prudent to make ! the establishment of the college depend on a reduction of salaries; for a ! condition precedent-of this sort might drive off many friends of the college. Looking at this question from I every point of view, and studying it | carefully, the Observer is irresistibly led to this cooclisioo: That about $26,000 can be secared for the annual maintenance of an agricultural college at Fort Hill and that the necessary buildings and improve| ments will have to be provided for by | increased taxation?nnless expenses can be lopped off somewhere else, and this cannot be counted on with | any degree of certainty. The Observer never has thought ; that a separate college could be es! tablished and maintained without increased taxes; but it has favored a separate college ail along. We ad| vocated it before the Clemson bequest : and before the Tillman-^atfeltation; and we ate as strongly in favor of it now as ever. If the college be not established the State will continue to spend from $15,000 to $25,000 a year on the annex in Columbia. The maintenance of a separate college would cost very little more than the annex and would do incalculably more goqd.?Newberry Observer.

I The grounds for the opinion are j based on the fact that the Legislature exceeded its poweis granted by Con| gresp. The Court took the ground | that the word "citizen" in the grant ; means nothing else than male citizen. : The opinion contained 7,000 words. , Au appeal will be taken to the j Supreme Court of the United States. The peculiarity of the legislation I on woman suffrage in this Territory | is that thts is the second law that has been passed and this is the second j time that it has been declared uucodI stitutional. Under the original law, | passed by a large majority in the j Legislature two years ago, an election : was held'and the women cast votes I in all the counties. Then the Supreme Court over-ruled it. Again a few weeks ago the Legislature passed the law and this has met the same fate. The territory is a stronghold of prohibition and woman suffrage advocates, and they will 6ght the case to I the Court of last resort. i a* t > / TOftcli Tour Tongue.

But do we all j know tliat we die by eating ? It is ; said we dig? our graves wiJi our teeth. How foolish this sounds. Yet it is fearfully true. We are terrified at the approach of the cholera and yellow fever, yet there is a disease constantly at our doors and in our houses far more dangerous and : destructive.* Most people have in 3 their own stomachs a poison, more slow, but quite as fatal as the germs of those maladies which sweep men into eternity by thousands without , warning in the times of great epidemics. But it is a mercy that, if we are watchful, we can tell when we are tlireatened. The following are among the symptoms, yet they do not always necessarily appeal* in the same order, nor are they always the same in different cases. There is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad taste in tlie mouth, especially in the morning; the appetite is changeable, sometimes poor and again it seems as though the patient could not eat enough, and occasionally no appetite at all; dullness and sluggishness of the mind; no ambition tc studv or work; more or less headache and heaviness in the head; dizziness on rising to the feet or moving suddenly; furred and coated tongue; a sense of a load on the stomach that nothing removes; hot and dry skin at times; yellow tinge in the eyes; scanty and high-colored | urine; sour taste in the mouth, tie- , quently attended by palpitation of the heart; impaired vision, with spots that seem to be swimming in the ail before the eyes; a cough, \ with a gi eenish-colored expecto ration; poor nights' rest; a sticky 9lime about the teeth and gums: i hands and feet cold and clammy; j irritable temper and bowels bound , up and costive. This disease has puzzled the physicians and still puz- < zles them. It is the commonest of -ailments and yet the most complicated and mysterious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, sometimes as liver complaint, and then again as malaria and even heart disease. But its real nature is that of .constipation and dyspepsia. Iteirises in the digestive organs and soon oil t.ha nthpra throuoh the aui/tuo MA* ^ ?^ corrupted and p>oisoned blood. Often the whole body?including i the nervous system?is literally ' starved, even when there is no | emaciation to tell the sad stoVy. Experience has shown that there is put one remedy that can certainly cure this disease in all its stages, namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. It never fails but, nevertheless, no time shou'd be lost in trying other soc:illed remedies, for they will do no good.
