AN INTERESTING PICTURE, Laurens, riv?' Years Hence. LIFF. IN THE OLD LAUD YET AND Bright IIopcB for the Future. An A nv KUTI s KU Reporter, called on a gentleman who was stopping for a few days at ibis plaee, and who had taken great Interest in tho affairs of Laurons and studied lbein, from a business point of view. "Ti ll us" said tho reporter, something of the business outlook of Laurens?" "Well" ho replied, "I havo visited many towns in Carolina and other Southern States, recently, but nowhero havo I seen a more? Industrious, thrifty and intelligent community. Your town is well bleated, surrounded by exeellent tarni lauds; the elitnato ls unsurpassed and on account of your geographical po sition, yours is destined to be one of the grand railroad centres of this seetion. All that you need is a little moro vim and a little moro money. The money in time will como and If you can por su ado your readers that I am not a veritable Wiguins, I 'will .'enture to picture the Laurens ol' ll vc years hence." A carriage hoing ready, your reporter requested the gentleman to take a short drivo over'tho town with him, dio ing Which he further remarked, on nearing the C. L. A'S. D.-p.it: "In the picture before me (Laurens five years henee) I soe magnificent brick building son both sides of this street.

And we ask ed the question, could tho alleged "Oligarchy of Lawyers at Columbia have wrought this wide-spread devastation ? iii our second communication publisned in your issue of Sept. 29th, wo showed that while our State tax ns averaged hy tho pop ulation of our County was, inclu ding that for tho University, the Citadel) and the Common Schools, $1.06 per hoad, our tax levied in support of tito United States through Impost duties (or Tuxes) could not be less than $7 (tn per load, while the Committee of Ways and Menus of the United States Congress was authority for saying that tho average United States Tux per head was if ll 00, und that consequently, while wo (i. o. Laurens County) were burdened by tho State Government with a Tux amounting to only fifty thous and ($00,000)'dollars,we woro drain AXXi.'Ai,),? io the tune from Two hundred nod ten ($2.10,000) thous and to Four hundred and twenty thousand ($420,000) dollars. We further showed thal while our Stute tax levy for State property was only 83 mills on the Dollars worth of property or values, the Tux imposed hythe United Staten Government, collected by import duties from consumers, would nv orago47 percent ad valorum! Nay more-that ninny articles were doubley taxed, being taxed first specifically and then nd valorum; as clothing taxed in cents pei pound and then in addition :>;"> poi cent nd valorum ! And in conclusion wc inquired il it might not be useful for sume ol our Agricultural Clubs which hav< discussed tuxes s() earnestly, to look a lectlc further than tho "Hoard ol Agriculture" or Hie l-Mm-nliounl system of the State and the Govern or's J "Stationary and Conti ngeiiI Fund." We como now to fl retrospect ol our Tari ll'Tuxes and tho light ii which they have noon treated bj our fathers. Tho first Tariff over establishei under tho U. S. Government wai in 178(1, and levied an impost dut\ of H\ per cent und was in Op oration about 'i years with out much influence in build ing up our Manufactories. Tin war of 1812 however furnished tin occasion for increasing tho duty ot Imports till tho duty was raised t< about .'lo por cent. Hoing once ra I sod so high it wu difficult to lower them, not-With standing tho Democratic Adminis trations of Madison ami Monro? which covered sixteen years. Du ring nil this period the Agricultura portion of Hie country complainer bitterly of this heavy and burden some Tn x of 80 por cent on Impost? The country was agitated fron centre to circumference betweoi the Protective Tariff men und th Revenue Turill' men. The forme Insisted <m maintaining tho 30 po cent Tux on Imports, so us lo pn foci our then int uit manufactor! \ against ruinous Competi? from the \ "oducts of tho mai ufactorios of Ku rope; uni the latter or Itovenue Tarli men insisted on lowering the Ta on imports tu snell u llguro ns t -eenie tully the necessary itcrt'im for paying the expenses of tho < ?ns eminent. After many years of af Ration und several ?d' extraordim ry excitement throughout th whole country, especially th South, niter reasoning and prot?t ting und begging, the Anti-Protei lionist or Tevenuc Turill' Party < Sou t h ('undilla Utldor the lead ( .lohn c.

On tho other bund Smith Ca olina prepared to defend her i?r< viynty and war was iminent.

The standard provided ( in that Clay compromise was rene ed only n few yours before the Wi But so soon as the warm Sece.jsl began and sent* of Southe members were vacated t Federal Congress raised t Tariff to meid the incroasl oxpenses of the U. 8. j ?ovornmoi And that Turill'or, Tux w e an the main still laboring und although it annually collects a bi one hundred millions ?of doll: moro of revenue than tho Govoi ment needs. When tho Southern States w hud been mainly Agricultural u opposed to Protection for mm factor.'s, mostly located Irl l North, seceded and left tho C. Goyornmcnt In (?ho hands of I Northern menbers, tho hitter I full swing to indulge their Prot Hon proclivities,-consequently i Tariff was arranged with spot reference to ruising the '-Roven" required in a manner Hint wo "protect" I. e. foster and build nun ni lu ( turns that woro chic located in tho North. As staled us in your issue of Sept. 20th, average duty or tax levied un the existing or war tariff is fm by those who have examined I tho subject to bo 47 per ecntl Th it ls soon thal while our fatli felt burdened and oppressed b; Tariff which imposed a duty tax) of 30 por cout and woro rei to resist with their lives-prepar even for wari-we of the presen " day quietly submit to a d uty (or tax) of 47 per eent! No: we do not quietly BttbmitfWti feel Hie bur den; we are conscious (.1 being ground down into tim very dust by taxation-by having our subsis tence eaten up-and we (roi into a towering rage with our Stale Gov ernment, at its tax- of 'V, mills on the dollar, equal te one and one tenth of one per?oit! Is this alli Tho Slat?' tax ls levied only on tin* property a man owns; the Turill" Tax is levied upon the clothes a man wears and upon the food he eats! Yea, upon tin* medicine he may have to take. As an illustration of how Tarl?Teffects things of nec essary use, take tho singlo article Quinine', for ninny years after the war it could not ho bough! in our town hy tin- ounce mr less than live to six dollars. That high price was owing to the high Import duty [or tax] and which enabled Amer ican manufacturers to doinnndand exact a price conn! to the lOuro penn cost of producing the Quinine with the Impost duly [Tax] ad ded. So that when a few years ago, the Impost Duty or Tax on Quinine was repealed or essentially modified^ the price ?it once came down so low that il was and is -.?'.ii by mir merchants ?it one dollar pi r ounce. Quinine was one ol' tho few tilings the monopoly was tor- I cod to let go ?ts grasp. Many things, just as necessary ?ind use ful as Quinine, ami which w on? i kept up in pri?e hy the impost Du ty I or tax, levied by tho I'arilF, j have not yoi been touched by in fluence of a Tariff Itoform, but re main high in price causing iddlrcet- j ly an onormous Tax on overbody i thal u^es the artioV-.
