The Tarifl'. Editor Times and Demokrat: What we need in this country is more cotton and woolen goods, more hats, more shoes, more tools, more money, in fact more of everything than we have, and the way to get more of everything than we have, is to reduce taxation, open our ports to the world, and allow our citi zens to buv where they can buy the cheapest, and sell where they can ob tain the highest prices for what they have to sell. I have heard men of this country say, '?well there is no tariff on cotton, and why not make plenty of cotton, and sell it, and take the money and buy what we want." Geographically and numerically speaking, this is taking rather a contracted and diminutive view of the subject. True, there is no duty on raw cotton, but there is a duty on cotton frabrics and everything else which raw cotton is sold or exchanged for, except quinine, matches, coffee, and one or two other articles. And this duty on the things for which raw cotton is sold or exchanged in foreign N countries, or in other words the duty on imports amount to the same thing as if there was an export duty on raw cotton, or anything else which is ex ported for imports. Suppose we abol ish the tariff on imports and put it on our exports. Let the tariff, be put on our raw cotton, our grain, our meat, &.c. Let the duty be collected at the ports exit, and' paid into our costom houses just the same as the duty is now paid on our Imports. Suppose a vessel comes from a foreign country laden with eroods to be exchanged lor raw cotton. Suppose the export tariff on the raw cotton to be two cents per pound. The shipper must add the tariff he has to pay to the price of the goods, or be financially ruined. If the trade is made, if the raw cotton is ex changed for the cargo of goods, the effect on the prices of the goods, as they become scattered throughout the country is the same as though the tariff had been put on the imports, the cargo of goods, instead of the exports, the raw cotton. Suppose the cotton sold at the port of exit for ten cents per pound. The cotton producer does not get a single cent of the export tariff which made it sell for that. The two cents per pound goes to the govern ment, but when the cotton planter comes to buy the articles the raw cot ton was traded or exchanged for, he has-to make up .the two cents to the merchant who paid the duty. But fortunately the world "is not made of cotton, or any other one thing. Nor are the United States, nor the South, nor South Carolina. Not even Orange burg county can live on cotton alone. God in his wisdom laid,every quarter of the universe under contribution to satisfy man's wants. It is the inter ference by man with God's laws, the barriers and restrictions heaped up by Congress to divert trade from its free, unrestricted and natural channels, that ails the country now. In the case of the Orangeburg farmer, it is not so much the low price of cotton that hurts, as the high prices he has to pay with the low prices cotton bring. Cot ton is not the only thing we have to selL It requires more than one pro duct to run a country. It takes more than ? one thing with which to get ruoaey, -We cannot buy unless we have something^xTneTi iutu Quit sume thing is not always cotton, not even in Orangeburg County. We cannot even buy money, unless we have something to "sell. But as was before remarked money does not necessarily constitute wealth. "Money is not absolutely es sential to business, trade or production. Money facilitates trade, it is a great . helper of trade, it is a useful adjunct of trade. It discharges the same func tions in trade as a ship, or railroad, or horse, or wagon, only in a higher degree than any of these, or perhaps than all of them combined. Trade existed be fore money, and would continue to exist, though all money was swept out of existence." Some people seem to think that we cannot buy any thing without money and that we cannot sell anything with out money. Money is only a medium of exchange, a standard of value by which we measure the value of the things we give in exchange for each other. No nation, no community ever has sufficient money to pay for its out side or foreign purchases. The mer chants of'Orangeburg, nor the people of any other town or community ever have sufficient money to pay for their outside purchases. "The amount of money used in international exchanges represents the merest fraction of the value of such exchanges. There is not money enough in the United States to pay for its outside purchases for three months." These references to money have been made with a view of trying to disabuse the minds of some persons that monev is not all in all, and that trade, free trade, unrestricted trade, natural trade is essential to prosperity, and prerequi site for obtaining money. If men could, or would get it out of their minds, that the building up of one industry at the expense of many others was no gain to the many. If they could, or'would but realize," that there was no gain in the aggregate, or jus tice in robbing a thousand Peters to pay one Paul, or that the taxing of a thousand individuals for the benefit of one individual, was all wrong and con trary to the plainest lessons of econo mics, then the protective tariff would vanish as thin air. We are often re ferred to the prosperous condition of this industry, or that, to this section of our country, or that, as instances of the benefits of protection, while the glaring fact is overlooked, that these conditions are brought about at the ex pense of many others. Free traders do not propose to do away with the tariff altogether. As long as the government exists, it is pro posed to raise revenue by a tariff of some kind, but it is the intention of the free traders to get rid of the pro tective tariff. 'They do not expect ab solute free trade, but they do want freer trade, in fact all the free trade they can get, and are never afraid of getting too much. The more the better. Eng land is called a free trade country, but England has not literally, absolute free trade, but then she comes so near to it, about as near perhaps as it is practical, or politic to come, that we might say, virtually, she is a free trade country. England raises her revenue by meaiis of an excise tax, and a tariff on only seven different articles, not one of which is raised in England. The Uni ted States levies a tariff on over twenty eight thousand different articles and has an excise tax besides. There is a vast difference between seven, and twenty-eight thousand. It may be inquired .how is it propos ed to raise revenue for the government. Before inquiring how to raise the reve nue, it is pertinent to know how much revenue is required. In the humble opinion of the writer the best plan which has been offered yet is that of Prof. A. J. Eddy, which the writer will endeavor to reproduce here. For the year 1882, the latest year for which 1 have any statistics, and which mav be considered an average year per"haps,vit cost to[run< the government $258,000,000. For the same year the total receipts were ?403,000,000 or $145, 000,000 more than was expended. Taxes therefore could have been reduced S145,000,OOU and there would have still been enough left to run the govern ment. These are the receipts and their sources. Customs tariff.$220,410,730 Internal revenue.140,497,595 Direct tax. 100,141 Public lands. 4,753,140 Miscellaneous receipts? 703,042 Total.$403,525,248 Of this amount the tariff and inter nal revenue produced by far the great est amount. The high tariff people propose to abolish the internal revenue. They see that if the internal revenue is abolished, it wipes out $140,000,000 of revenue, or about the amount of excess of revenue over expenditure. Abolish the internal revenue and the taxes are taken off whiskey and tobacco, the very two articles that should be taxed the most. Take $145,000,000, the amount of the surplus, from $220,000,000, (I use round figures,) the amount raised by customs, and it leaves only $75,000,000 necessary to be raised by a tariff to meet all the expenditures of the gov ernment. The question then is, not how to raise $220,000,000 b\ a tariff' that will not be protective, but how to raise $75,000,000 by a tariff that will not be protective. On seven articles England collects by tariff $75,000,000 of revenue, and not one of the seven articles is produced in England. The seven articles are, to bacco, tea, wine, dried fruit, coffee, chiccory, chocolate and cocoa. These seven articles yield England a revenue of $75.(XX),000 without protecting a sin gle individual or company. Here is a table of but tight different articles in this country, that would produce all the revenue" we need from a tariff. The amount of revenue is based upon the consumption of the different articles in '82. A duty of 20 per cent is put on tea and coffee. The duties on raw silks and jewels remain the same. The duties on spirits and wines are doubled, the duties on tobac co and manufactures of tobacco are doubled, the duties on sugar and mo lasses are reduced one-half, the duties on silk and its manufacturers are re duced one-half. This is the table : Coffee-.$11,350,878 Tea. 4,200,(J02 Paw silk. 2,578,078 Jewels. '837,720 Silk and manufactures of. 11,310,508 Spirits and wines. 13,532,002 Sugar and molasses. 24,003,038 Tobacco and manufac tures of. 12,000,000 Total. $80,420,740 This gives over five millions of dol l.u.-Tiiiuu ilion 1j i.ie?al ruf ii.lvJ *' eminent. The list is not quite free from protection, but-what little protec tion there is in it, would hardly be felt. The receipts would then be as follows : Customs tariff.8 80,420,740 Internal revenue. 140,497,595 Direct tax. 100,141 Public lands. 4,753,140 Miscellaneous recepts_ 31,703,042 Total receipts.$203,541,204 Total expenditures. 258,000,000 Surplus in treasury.$ 5,541,204. The present tariff list embraces over twenty-eight thousand different arti cles. 'The above list of only eight would be so simple that all could un derstand it, and it would raise the ne cessary amount of revenue, including the interest on the public debt, without taking from the many for the few. All that I have to say in conclusion, is, never vote for any man for the Fed eral Congress, no matter what may be the color of his skin, hair or eyes," no matter what religious tenets he may hold, nor what may be his principles of moral suasion, no matter what may be the shade of his political opinions, whether Democrat or Republican, Greenbacker or Bluebacker. unless he is strictly and unalterably, from top to bottom, through the middle, and all over, in favor of reducing federal taxa tion, first, last and all the time. And when we get a Congress that monopolists' money cannot buy, a Con gress that will give us a tariff for reve nue only, then will our waning indus tries revive. We will no longer hear of mills closing up, from overproduc tion. Blood shed for bread, will case; la bor riots will stop; the voice of the tramp will no longer be heard in the land. Every class will receive a new impetus. The Slimmer breezes will sweep over fields of rich products, and the Autumn winds will bear inscribed on their wings the signs of peace and prosperi ty, throughout this broad and fertile land. Then will South Carolina bloom and blossom as the rose, and then in deed will be inaugurated the era of that good time coming for the care worn, and long weary cotton planters of even the little county of Orangeburg.

Followed by a crowd of spectators they went to the Guard House, and thence through Broad street, up'East Bay. where Alderman A. Johnson gave them an order for temporary acldmission to the Alms House, the rule requiring six months' residence in Charleston for regular admittance iuto that institution. While on East Bay, the wife and chil dren were eagerly munching some rolls given by a thoughtful stranger, while the lookers on were over curious as to what was the matter with Wilder and his family, and where they came from. Tlrt: Sea Serpent Outdone. St. Paul, Minx.. July 30.?A special from Cinnabar, M. T., says: Last Monday a stage driver and two tourists, while near Yellowstone Lake, claim to have seen an enourmous reptile, which, while running through the grass, carried its head ten or fifteen feet above the ground. They think it must have been at least thirty feet long. A party was organized to pursue the reptile yesterday. A number of tourists, among them Colonel Wear, superintendent bf [the park, and his assistant Captain I Barronettc, while near the cave of an extinct geyser in the vicinity of the lake heard a hissing sound coming Irom the cave and saw the head ol a reptile thrust out some fifteen feet and immediately withdrawn.

New York, August 3.?While Rob bin's Circus was on the way this morn ing from Manor to Sag Ilaibor. Long Island, via the Long Island Railroad, a large elephant in a car with two camels attacked the latter and killed them both. The keeper who attempted to quiet the elephant was driven from the car, nar rowly escaping with his life. The noise made by the elephant excited the lions and tigers to such an extent that they attempted to break out of their cages and a terrible uproar prevailed for sonic time. Assisting Nature n Little Jtit. When the resources of Nature have become retarded, no matter from wtmt.| cause, it is then quite time to help the Jfefii and Spleen, anj^?ju?orrans, to perform" their thorough duty of we shall soon be quite ill. In such cases theie is no more natural remedy than a mild cathartic, one which will be sure to perform its duty without injuring the system in the least. Such, let us say in all candor, is Simmons' Hepatic Co'mpound. It will gently move the bowels, without irritating them in the least; when the medicine works, the bowels are soothed and healed like a charm?yet the medicine is more effec tive than Calomel: one of the principal ingredients possess all the good qualities of that poisonous drug, without any of its constituents. A dose of Simmons' Hepatic Compound every night on going to bed, will infallibly restore health. Testimony of the highest con sideration from every portion of the country, and from all ekisses of people, abunfiantly substantiate this fact. The importance of this treatment cannot be over-estimated, and it should be tried by all means. _ Dr. J. (J. Wannamaker, Wholesale Agent for Orangeburg County. Cure for Piles.

Its name has be come a tower of strength, and has been well earned by the untiring devotion of President Harper and his associates. Its astonishing prosperity has pro voiced attacks which are best repelled by a frank and full exhibit of its greatly increasing line of business. Up to July 1,1885, this shows a gain of no less than ?13 214,580 over that of the corresnonping period last year. In June alone" its mortuary receipts ex ceeded ?250,000, of which over ?00,000 went into the Reserve Fund?that triple buttress upon which the association justly pride's itself. Tills reserve now amounts to ?425, 000, and is employed for three purposes only?to pay death claims, if any should occur in excess of the American F-pperience Mortality Tables; to make good any poss ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account, and to be apportioned among those who have been members of the Association fif teen years, etc. as the first and second contingencies named are not likely to arise, the third object is the one upon which the fund is practically expended.
