CO?tnftB? A, S/ G. Bonday Morning, April 24,1870. Bound Views- I'I'rcttction." Referring to an able speech of Mr. Marshall, Democratic member of Con? gress from Illinois, on the subject of "proteotion," the New York World thus explains the principio of "proteotion:" "The principle of 'protection' is this: that, whereas ia aa untrammelled stale A can sell a certain article for $1 und B can only afford tb sell a like article for $1.50, some power exterior to A and B is to step in and Say that, while B muy sell at $1.50, no one is to boy from A eave on condition of paying $1 for tho privi? lege. Under these circumstances, as A's wares are made to cost $2, ($1 cost and $1 privilege,) and B's only cost $1.50, the customer is necessarily forced to buy of B. Tbi#* is 'proteotion,' and the process indicated the one wboreby B is 'protected' Against A. The price of the protection, or that privilege tax which the exterior power prescribes in its in? termeddling with A and B's business transactions, falls, of course, actively on O, the consumer, and only passively on A, since the effect of 'protection,' quoad A, is merely to keep A from selling nt all, but, quoad O, to force G to pay $1.50 to B rather.than $1 to A, Under penalty, if he io i ll boy from Ai of paying fifty cents more than is asked by 13. " Mr. Marshall takes the proper ground, that all taxation should be limited to the necessity of providing means for the support of, tho State, and then BIIOWS that "proteotion" is a matter alien to the necessary/; end of taxation. He next shows tbai,"proteotion" or a protective tariff, is the enemy of commerce.. The World, analyzing Mr. M.'s Bpeecb, goes on to say: "Oommeroe is ordinarily held to sig? nify business intercourse between foreign countries.. That this intercourse should be as easy and full as possible-that the tropics, for instance, sho lld send us pine? apples, and we send the tropics icc-has, the wide world over, been held as an ap? proved maxim; and yet 'protection,' or the hampering or shuttiug out of this exoh an ge, is, as Mr. Marshall very well says, the 'antagonizing of commerce.' As snob an opponent of free interna? tional exchange, it subserves the same ends os do mountains, or marshes, or dangerous and rooky seas; that is to say, the ends of hindrance, delay, obstruc? tion, and exclusion. With the use of the compass, the steamship, tho submarine telegraph, the ease of commerce has been wonderfully served; and yet, if inimical legislation forbid the just fruition of these great discoveries, the world, so fur as suoh legislation operates, is put back iuto that condition of commercial pupil? age which existed before the mariner hud the needle to guide him on tho wave, or the potenoy of steam to mock the vola? tile humors of the water and the wind." ? ; * * * * * * " 'Proteotion' hides itself under the necessity of raising taxes for the sup? port of the Government; but this is the way the thing really works: Of every dollar paid out by the people for cotton fabrics, 30 cents go to the 'protected* monopolist mill-owner, and 3}4 cents only to the Federal Treasury. On every dollar for woolen goods, but 10 ceuts go to the Government and GO cents to the monopolist; on refined iron, 5 cents to the Treasury and 52 cents to the 'pro? tected' forge; on men's wool hats aud women's bal m orals, on all our ordinary blankets and carpets, iron, steel, woollen goods, and oigars, every Bingle cent of the tax goes to the 'protected' classes, and not a dime into the Treasury. Hore there is not even a bare pretence of the money going to the support of the Go? vernment, but those who nestle in the fat places of 'protection' get all." TBUK AS GOSPEII.-The great aim and end of reconstruction, outside of plun? der, is an attempt on the part of the radicals to divert attention from the North to the South. So long as the Northern heart can be fired by Ku Klux outrages at the South, tbe day of reck? oning will be postponed. But nausea will come out of these times and with it enlightenment. Then let the Sumners, Drakes and Mortous prepare for execu? tion. < ? - THK Tann "LOYAL."-In a recent de? bate in the United States Congress, thc following point was made. It is well taken : Mr. Eldridge declaimed against tho word "loyal" us a word he despised and hated. It always reminded htm of a de? finition of it given by a contractor dur? ing the war, wheu pressed to explain what he meant by suyiug he felt loyal. He said he felt us if ho wunted to bteal something or somebody. For himself, ho was patriotio, not loyul. The word did not belong to this country; it only belonged to Massachusetts. COUNT US IN.-The Charleston News, in a somewhat impatient comment upon tho dignified and manly announcement of its position by the PIIO?NIX, says: "The Citizons'Party is not actively op? posed to tho ad minist rut i on of Grunt." We rejoice over thia announcement. If tho Juno Convention will adopt ns its Federal policy tho following resolution: (since Federal policy it must have) "Thut the Citizens' Reform Party is not orga? nized in opposition to Gen. Grunt's ad? ministration, but in opposition to extra? vagance and corruption in State taxation and expenditure," wo, as a Graut jour? nal, promise it onr most cordial support. yWinmboro News. Never let a day pass without an effort to make some one happier. THE CONVENTION.-Tho press confer? ence recommended that the decent and honest pop?lo, black no weil IM whitey of Sou tb Carolina Bhorild bold a con? ven tion ia June. The resolutions did noli say "decent and honest," but we alt know that tho whole movement meaun to unite and harmonize the decent and honest of the laud. As regards honesty and decency among the blaoks, the difficulty ia not that they are cither dis? honest or iudeoent themselves, but that they are-or have been, at all oven ts very prone to tie to leaders who are both dishonest and indecent. If the resolu? tions of the press conferonco, uud tho subsequent action of the convention, can induce the blacks to leave off supporting; these rascals and plun? derers, and live in harmony and good understanding with the white people among whom they were born and raised, they will bavo wrought u good work indeed. The effort is u?e, honorable and praiseworthy. We mean the effort inaugurated by the gentlemen of the Press, who met in Co? lumbia some weeks ago. They met to? gether to exchange views, to encourage our ppoplo in their efforts to oppose their oppressors, and to work unitedly in that path which presents the most certain means of defeating tho common enemy, and of restoring the State to tho hands of those who respect ber material inter? ests aud who honor ber dearest memo? ries. This is the long and short of the matter. And we do not see how any un? prejudiced man or journal cnn view it otherwise. If tho Convention is to bo held in .Tune, is EdgeQeld to be represented? We ask if it is to be held in Juuo, because a number of the papera of tho State have seemed to think it would bo wiser to bold it later. Lot us make baste slowly, and in what? ever we say or do, let us remember thut that mission of the Convention, if ouo. be held, will bo to restore good govern? ment, reduce expeuditures, abato taxa? tion, encourage public improvements, and establish harmony between labor and capital. To obtain a good State go? vernment is the paramount need. The means by which it may be obtained is of secondary importance, provided we deny no principle and resort to uo deception. [Edgefleld.

THE extensive uso of these watches for tho last tiftoen years by Hallway Conductors, Engineers and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch-wearers,ha? thoroughly demonntrat ed the strength, stfadineca, durability and accuracy of tho Waltham Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respeots, is to decido the question as to the real value of tbeso time? keepers. More than 450,000 of these watches aro now spcakiug for thomselvcs in the pockets of tho people-a proof and a guarantee of their superiority over all others. The superior organization and great extent of tho Company's Works at Waltham, onablo thom to produce watches at a prico which renders compotiotiou futile, and tlioso who liny any other watch, merely pay from 25 to 50 per cout. moro for their* watches than is necessary. Wo aro now selling Waltham Watches al less prices in greenbacks, than tho gold prices before tho war. There is no other manufac? ture of any kind iu tho United States of which this can bo said. 'these time-pieceB combino every improve? ment that a long experience has proved of real practical use. Having had the refusal of nearly every invention in watch-making origi? nating iu this country or in Europe, only those were finally adopted which sovere testing, hy the most skillful artisans in our works, and long uso on tho part of the public, demonstrat? ed to bo essential to correct and onduring time keeping. Among the many improvements wo would particularize: Tho invention and uso of a centre-pinion of peculiar construction, to prevent damage to tho train by tho breakage of main-springs, is original with tho American Watch Company, who, having had the refusal of all other con? trivances, adopted Fogg's patent pinion as bo ing tho best and faultless. Hardened and tempered bair springs, now universally admitted by watch-makers to bo tho host, aro used in all grades of Waltham Watches. All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, protecting the movement from dust and les? soning tho necessity of tho frequent cloaning necessary in other watches. Our now patent Blom-winder, or keyless watch, is already a decided success, and a great improvement on any stem-winding watch in tho American market, and hy far tho cheap? est watch of its quality now offered to tho public. To thoso living in portions of the United States where watch-makers do not abound, watches with tho above mentioned improvements which tend to insure accuracy, cleanliness, durability and convenience, must provo invaluable. Eve rv watch guaranteed by tho Company. To provent impoi-ition, buyers should soo that every watch should bear either of tho following trade marks: American Watch Co.Waltham. Appleton, Tracy & Co.
