The Tariff Issue.
Anderson People's Advocate.
' If supply and demand is to be
considered, then a high or protective
t :riff on raw cotton of forcigu growth
is the gdIv potent remedy to apply.
This is the only true solution of the
problem with which the farmers have
to deal, and is the only one which
gives any assurance of relief. Most
of the cotton raised in the South is
consumed by Southern mills, but
lit le finds its way to the Noith, and
j still less is exported to other coun
I tries, ami by these conditions the
i clemaud has steadily decreased ami
j ilie supply increased, leaving a sur|
plus sufficient to 11 aterially aft'ect the
; price of the cntiie crop?Lexington
i Dispatch.*'
We are sorry to see our brother of
! the Dispatch go oft* in this style. We
| know he has imbibed soire of the
i republican virus of high protection,
! but if tbere is anything more than \
| another that has robbed the Southern
farmers it is this same republican
i protection tariff. But how in the
j world a high protective tariff on raw i
; cotton imported into this country '
! would help the condition of the j
j Southern cotton grower is past find|
iug out, when as well as we now
! remember, there are only about 100,- ;
i .
000 bales of Egyptian cotton import*
d into this country. This is a
I mere drop in the bucket, not much
more than is grown by some
counties in this State, and if we. had
a statute absolutely prohibiting its
importation it would not appreciably ;
affect the market. A high tariff man
must be under great stress of
weather when such a llisy argument
as this advanced in its support. But
the most remarkable statement in
the above paragraph is that which
says, '"most of the cotton raised in ;
the South is consumed by Southern j
mills, but little finds its way to the !
mills in the Nottb, and still less is J
I expo)ted to other countries." Surely j
the editor must have been asleep
when he penned that. Does he not
I know that the great cotton manu

j know that Northern mills have about
' five times as many spindles and

he not know that these mills spin

Solids a Share o
great bulk of our entire cotton crop
is taken by European spinners? If
be does not then be has not read tbe
statistics of cotton expoitation and
consumption.
Mr. Alfred Ik Sbfpperson, who is
an autboriety on such subjects, shows
conclusively in a recent article tbat
about 7(1 per cent of our entire crop
is taken by foreign spinners, and it
is a fact well known in tbe cotton
market tbat Liverpool fixes tbe price
of our cotton because more of it is
bought there than any where else. In
bis report for last year, Mr. Sbfpperson
shows tbat tbe crop of cotton
was 7,.773,('00 bales. Of this, Xoithern
mills consumed 1,007,000 bales,
aud foreign mills consumed 4.727,000
bales, while Southern mills con
sumed 000,000 bales, which is less
than one seventh of the entire crop.
This shows that about 65 per cent, of
our cotton went abroad.
In the News and Courier of Nov.
'25tb, it is reported that all the cotton
that arrived at Liverpool the day
before was American cotton, and in
the fame paper the weekly cotton
statistics from Liverpool of same
date shows sales of 61,060 bales,
56,000 of which were Ameiicanbales.
The imports were 145,000. biles,
127,000 of which were American
bales. The total atloat was 359,000
bales, of which 357,000 were American
bales. This is just one week's
report, and other weeks are very
much like it. And yet according to
the Dispatch very little American
cotton is exported. "Where in the
world has the editor been JL'laying

The rotten, robber high tariff will
have to be supported by better arguments
than that. You will have to

The Greenwood, Anderson k Western

The Greenwood, Anderson and
Western railroad will be sold at
Seivern on next Thursday, says the
Barnwell People. This paper also
says: "We have heard, by grape
vine, that some speculators expect to
buy the property for a song and tear
up and sell the rails already laid.
As the railroad commission inspected
and received the section of ten miles
next to Seivern, making that a part
of the railroad system of the State,
the law would hardly allow the rails
to be removed.
"The people of Saluda county are

i
The Democrat-Message, Mt. Sterling*. 111.
Residents of Damon, the village
j fourteen miles northwest of Mt. Sterli
ing. 111., have recently told a remarkable
story of the almost miraculous
J recovery of little Josic "Williams, the
j four year-old son of John F. Williams,
, who resides a short distance 1101th|
west of Damon.
j The Democrat-Message dispatched
; a representative to the scene to obtain
j the actual facts in connection with
.
j the case, and stakes its reputation as
j a newspaper upon the truth of the
j incidents herein cited,
j Mrs. Williams is a pleasant voiced
! matron. She has the forceful peri
sonalitv, the positive manner that is
nurtured and developed by the cares
and responsibilities of a farmer's
wife. She would make a good witness
for any cause founded upon the
principles of truth and equity, and
she told the story of little Josie's
sickness and recovery in a convincing
way.
"He was never right from the
time of his birth," she said. "He
was weak and puny, and did not
grow like other children. A year ago
last February, when he was two
years old, he had an attack of long
fever. We had the services of Dr.
Soues for two or three weeks. After
Josie had recovered from the fever,
he did not seem to get any strength.
He had no appetite and could not
keep anything on his stomach. He
would fall, trying to walk across the
room and after while he could not
bear his weight. His legs seemed to
wither, away until there were nolh
ing but skiu aud bones, and lie kept
up a continual coughing.
"We had a boarder named Asa
Robinson who had rheumatism so
severe that he was bent nearly
double. He bad used Dr. Williams'
Rink Pills for Pale People, and "had
become so well and strong that be
was able to chop woo 1 every day
and never feel a touch of his rheumatism.
He said that he believed the
pills would help little Josie. At that
time I also read an article in the
Quincy Whig regarding some people
who had been cured by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, and I
said to my husband that we should
j get some for Josie as they cost only
J 50 cents a box or six boxes for S2 50,
j and could be bought at any druggist,
j He decided to try them, and went to
i Zvlt. Sterling to Dr. Irving and bought
i three boxes. "We began the last of
j March giving him one-third of a pill
| three times a day. In three days we
! noticed an improvement, and we
i increased the dose giving him half a
i pill at a time. He kept improving
j and finally we gave him one pill at a
j dose. Near the first of June we
i gave him the last of the three boxes
i which we had bought in March, and
! now little -Tosie is as fat and hearty
i as any boy in the neighborhood. He
| has a good appetite and never has
! any trouble with his stomach. I
i never had any faith in proprietary
medicines before, but Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People saved our
Tosie from the grave, and I do not
1
j believe anything else would."

any of the guests disappointed. The
biide and groom being two of the
most popular and beloved young
*
{ people in this part of the State it is
not presumption to state that the
wedding was the event of the season.
Batesburg and other towns contributed
largely to the attendance.
The supper was grand in every
particular. We write in haste but
we cannot forget that this repast
was one of the most plentiful, most
1 perfect, that has ever received or
j responded to our aged but spirited
j appetite.
Editor Jas. T. Bacon played the
wedding march.
Mr. Mitchell, the groom is a prominent
and prosperous merchant of
Batesburg, while Miss Belle Strother,
the fair and lovely bride, is one
among our most esteemed and popular
young ladies. As bride she was

in. After the firing ceased persons
