Published Every Thursday, BY R HBB bERRUB PUD. CG? Conway, S, O. REPUBLICAN TARIFF 1UL1, The Republican party is pledged to Tariff reform in some shape. The | muss of the people are becoming in* j formed and educated on this subject) and are becoming clamorous for some : equitable adjustment of tho Tariff, j McKinlcy the Republican leader in 1 the House with his allies has prepared a bill for this purpose, claim ing that it will redhce (he revenue J from twenty to forty millionsdollars. j The Wilmington Mensenyer (lms} discourses of (his Tariff reform 111011- j strosity : Of all (he rare bills of absurdities, injustices and stupidities that were ever framed by incompetency thej new Radical tariff "takes the cake.'' In the first place it was given out | that it would reduce the revenues .$00,000,000 or more. Now it is believed that it may not be more than $20,000,000. McKinley, who reports it. sava if will lfinim fvnn. ll.'i) C...... , ?J ..... V *I"I? 1 ""1 r,'l'l to $40,000,000. When the Mills hill (Democratic j measure in the last Congress) proposed to cut hut $20,000,000, these very Radical tariff whackers cried out with lusty lungs, "It will ruin the country, it will ruin the country." The political vagrants and humbugs! What a hill it is! It brings in diamonds /ree, hut places a tax <>n quinine. It lets agaies, photographs! and human hair in free of tax, hut macaroni and eggs, hides and coal 1 must he heavily taxsd, as must be woman's woollen dresses, men's cloth-j ing, blankets, carpets, cutlery, glass- j wiue, crocKery, earthenware, lime, plaster of paris, wool, tinplates ami other articles. Mark you, the tax is possitively increased on nearly or quite all of these. Ami that is ltepuhlican reform after all their solemn pledges! The New York Times?an able reform paper that bus long been doing effective service on that line?is right when it says that the people needs facts. The theory is well enough understood now. No man of intelligence and information really believes at heart that the principle of protection is right?is even constitutional. No man not directly interested in protected goods or products with a fair modicum of sense and knowledge, can pretend to justify robbery, and the Supreme Court of the I'nit.ed States hud decided that a lax for protection is robbery. No man with well poised brain who ever investigated political economy and its facts, can justify in the form of reason the Hob Hoy doctrine that it is right?that it is moral and just and honest, to tax sixtyfive million people for the benefit of Ml* i ? , ?# ujie minion; tnat it is lair and equitable to grind tlie faces of the poor for the benefit of the rich; that it is right to put upon you a tax of 50 per cent, or 100 per cent, that some rich fellow in the North inay pile up liis millions and live in Oriential splen-1 dor and luxury. Protection is a sham, a lie, a will o-thc wisp, a do-1 lusion, a snare and an economic ' monstrosity. The Radical bill for Monopoly will lie most thoroughly scrutinized and exposed. The boston /'tW puts in a well directed blow as follows: "There is a proposed tariff of five! cents a dozen on eggs, which willgive the advocates of the tariff isnot-a-tax theory no end of trouble to explain to the farmers how it is going to benefit them if the consumer does not pay more for his eggs. That other pretty theory ahat as the tariff increase prices at first it cheapens! prices in the end through increased production will also he ot great comfort to both the organs and the farmers." Mark you, the Republicans in all previous discussions have insisted that the high-tax on foreign products did not increase the price of home products. How then can the 5 cents on "aigs," benefit the American hens? The Radical hill tries to gull the poor over-taxed, mortgage-plastered farmer with an increasf* of tax on : corn and wheat. What stupidity 1 Our country produces twice as much corn and wheat as it can consume. No foreign corn or wheat is required. None comes in worth the name. So the increase of tax will fool no one. The Port says: "Of the former (corn) the Western farmers now have 070,000,000 bushels on "their hands, of which a very yd & . pIhIIbS that 156,000,000 bushels of the year's crop remain unsold, with the price twenty-five cents a bushel lower than it ought to he. If this country and Kurope combined cannot take our surplus grain crops at prices profitable to the fanners, and if the object of the MeKinlov sort of protection is to stimulate production,' diagrams should bo prepared illustrating the benefits i bat the fanners will derive from increased production under these conditions. It is also proposed nearly to double the tariff on bops, another product of which the price is regulated abroad, and of those wo raise moiv limn u<can use, export largo quantities and simply import a quality of hops that cannot bo produced bore to mix with those raised at home.'' So much for the patent fraud attempted. I.et it be remembered also, that the most of the reduction proposed is to come out of two Southern products. That is signilicant. The South is Democratic you see, and "solid." It will be more so in 1892. i;rnoi;s rito.M tiii-: tillman cow kntion. The Wronn Mail I?111 Conservat ism ( (nii)sclc(l. Hampton Guardian.

In the course of his remarks he said: "If you ask me to lead this light you call upon nie to lead a forlorn hope, but. you will ba\c at your bead the only man who has the brain and the nerve and the ability to organize the common people against ilie aristocracy." lie also said: "This convention has just adopted a plat form, every line of which was written by me." and ho even went furth or and said: "You have adopted a platform. What is the use of you having a platform unless you put. a a man before the people who knows it, endorses it, has slept ovor it, and can explain it to the people ntul tight for it and give it life and force?" Is this not a bid for the office? Indeed, it is even more I ban Ibis. It is a demand from .Mr. Tillman tbat he be nominated. Vet Mr. Tillman says he is not seeking the office. The majority of the convention obeyed Mr. Tillman, as so many sheep would master, and Carried out his mandate?, ilespokeas if he expected the nomi nation, and well might he have done so, for his scheme was so boldly worked as to assure him success.

Hut will they concentrate on Mr Tillman? That is the question, and it must be settled in the alTirinutive before Mr. Tillman can hope to be t he standardbearer of the Democracy in the next campaign.
