An election on the question of 11 censo or "no license" fer the town of Laurens, takes pince to-day. Pew elections of this kind have occur red ft"rotnfbre with so little interest manifested by the friends and oppo nents of prohibition. It seems to bo a foregone conclusion that the town will go for license. We have always advocated temperance, in deed until recently we have beliv ed that much good would bo accom plished by witholdlng license In this town, but so far as Laurens is concerned, it is a miserable failure. We say this not because it is right to sell liquor or to drink it, but be causo "the prohibition act does noither stop nor I decrease cith er to Any appreciable extent. If this matter can ever be determined hy experience our town furnishes the best example to be had. We have tried prohibition several time < and during this time we have fre quently elected members of couu ?ii, and in each instance when a prohibltian candidate has been in the field against an anti-prohibition man, the prohibitionist has met an overwhelming defeat. Yet it is an easy matter to vote thc town dry. Now how is this? Why is it that wo can, under the Local Option law, make the town dry, and yet, lt ia not possible to elect any man to enforce the law, who is known to bo inlsympathy with prohibition? Tho whole trouble is this, those who sell whiskey vote for no license in order to save the tax,-to sr.ve the license foe. They know that the sentiment of the town is not so strong for prohibition as to carry it wit heart their votes, so that they can always elect men who wink at violations. Until we can ?elect a prohibition Council a prohi bition law is a farce. Let temperance reformers practice and teach tem perance, and whenever the town contains a sufficient number of real prohibitionist to elect a counci toi enforce the law then will be the time to cut off license. As it is when everybody knows that liquor is sold here at a dozens places open ly, it is nonsense to place thc town is such a condition that thc streets are veritable mud-holes and the property is taxed to the utmost limit. But we might well submit to an impoverished exchequer, If by it we might stop the sale of whiskey. This result hus not been accomplished in the past a id we have not the slighest reason to hope that in tho present state of af fairs it would be Improved. A writer In the Herald last w^ck who sign himself "The Country" criticises the Laurens papers for not booming prohibition. Ile says; "We did expect the Past Grand Thiel Templnr on the one hand, "and the eloquent young quondam "temperance lecturer un the othei "to stand by their guns and defend "the public morals"-and adds; "per haps kit isn't popular." Whatever else may be said against this "young quondam'temperance lecturer there ls no ground whatever for the charge that thia paper a? ; vocales on ly the popular issues. But wo will nay that if a majority of the voters in the L own of Laurens were as zeal ous in the cause as the writer who Signs himself "The County," pro hibition in Laurens would not bo a failure. Unfortunnhly we cnn make thc town dry only in name. While it may bo the duty of citizens it cannot be expected that they will leave their business to act as pub lic informers. The duty of prose cuting these offenders is with tiie Council and Grand Jury and not seeing any reason to expect them to do moro in the future tbnn they have In the past we see no good to result, from a continuance of the prohibition law. We always stand by our gun, and are willing to shoot off a temperance lecture on short notice, but If it be a prohibi tion "bomb," we pray havo us ex oused. We are for temperance, first, last and All the time, and can say that in pome regards this "young quondam temperance lec turer" IH different from other tem perance lecturers. Having never yet tasted liquor, we do not And a drink necessary before lecturing. Even though it comes from such heretical source, Boh Ingersoll was not far wrong when he nld; "If it were possible to bottle the air, there would be agreer Amer ican air bottling association before .nndown tomorrow, and millions would be allowed to die for want of a breath if they were unable topsy Mi? tba mdathly air Mlle." ABAD i,AW. The legislature which is now I*, session, will have many matters of grave importance before them. They will probably make a change in the law i:i regard to the liability of married women upon contracts. Thia is a matter that affects all business men. As the law has been prior to 1882, married u woman who owned a separate estate could not only alienate ber property at Will, but it was liable for her contract* in the same manner as tito property of tho husband was liable for bis contracts. But in 1882, tho l?gisla ture doubtless Intending to give greater protection to married wo men, inserted un amendment tn the effect that she could only ton tract concerning her sole ami sep arate property, lt was gonorully'bo lieved that the legislature only meant that the Intention to bind her separate estate should beexpres sed. Nearly all banks und business men placed this construction on the statute, and operated business ac cordingly. The Supreme Court however, has decided differently. It is now law io this State, that u married woman, having a separate estiite, can only bind th it estate in contracts that effect ber property, and although ber intention to bind it in other cases he clearly expres sed, it will not have that effect. Now we submit that since this is tho true construction of the act ol' is8i?, that net should be changed. If married women ure allowed to own property us our constitu tion declares, it i contrary tu pub lie policy nnd tho dqmands of com merce to remove the liability of ber property for ber debts, especial ly when sl?e not only expressly in tends ta Wind ber separate estate, but for which she intended and ex pressed that her separate estate .should bc liable. It is a great hard ship that one of the parties to such contracts should lose, for they have acted upon a construction of tin statute which is certainly not unrea sonable. All this loss and manifest injury which may be occasioned is the result either of carelessness or imbecility in legislating. The trouble is, the statute, as amoded did not bear conclusively on its face the construction which the Courts have declared should be given, But whatever may have been tho intention of the legislaturein ma king the amendment, the construc tion of the Supreme Court is law, and we think bad law, which should be changed immediately, so that when a woman with prop erty gives a note, and says teat it is her intention to bind ber soil and separate property, it should have that effect. It has fallen to the lot of a mem ber of the Senate to devise the meansof establishing an Agricultu ral College. His estimate shows that there sire one million dogs in this State, including course, of "yal ler dogs," and be suggests thai a tax of one dollar on the bead would reise the amount required. At ?ill events this Senator is entitled to ii hearing. He docs not deal In vis ' lonary schemes of reduction on thb that any the other, but shows bow thc money eau be raised in a very few words, (live that man a show ing, he Is on a hot trail. GOVERNOR SHEPPARD bas pro sen ted to the legislature of Sou til Carolina a valuable paper hy way a message Many reforms and im provements are suggested besides glvieng a fu]l and accurate state ment of tho condition of thc State is suggestions in regard to Trial Justices, are especially worthy ol consideration at the hands of our law-m akers. THE TARIFF. No. VIII. DESPITE TnE DEFEAT OF M0RRISS0N AND HURD TAKIEE REF0RW HAS MADE OREAT GAINS IN THE LATE ELECT10FS. Rsagoni For Anticipating still Fu-tber Oaths In Future. The news of the defeat of Messrs. Morrison of Illinois, and Hurd of Obie, as naked facts, and the small majority by which Speaker ('arlisle Ot Kentucky was re-elected, were calculated to throw a damper over the feelings of all friends of either Free Tr?ele or Tariff Reform. But following soon after these Tide graphic dispatches, came the de tailed facts which showed conclu sively thnt Morrison and Hurd were the victims of a conspiracy on the part of Tariff Protectionists, who had singled out these men ns specially calling for decapitation. It is now well known that one John Jarrett of Pensy I vania, was sent ns -weela! agent of a syndicate of Pon sylvnnia Mann fact ti re rs, into Mr. Morrison's district with an almost unlimited amount of funds to be used In compassing Mr. Morrison's defeat. It is equally well settled that Mr. Hurd was likewise the re cipient of the marked hostility of the protectionists. Mr. Speaker Carlisle's close rub seems to have been one of those accidents which ever and anon happen In politics when expert gunners manage "masked batteries." But in order to see how Speaker Carlisle re ceives and treats what our critic, "Tax Paxer." of the Herald consid er* an unmistakable "warnlog" to desist from hi? tnriff reform pro gramme, let us hear what Speaker Carlisle himself says since the elec tion, and in speaking on this iden tical subject. In Chicago, on the 17th of November, at the annual bun?pict of the famous Iroquois club, the leading Democratic club of the Northwest, iii response to a toast in opposition to trying to build up American industries by unequal taxation, Speaker Carlisle i in concluding an able argument in j harmony with the toast said: ..While free trade is impractica ble, industrial and commercial emancipation can and will bo ac complished by wise ami moderate measures of reform without Inter fering with any private enterprise ? or injuring any public interest. To I this some of us ure Irrnvooubly j I pledged, not only hy the traditions j und declarations of (he political party to which we belong, but hy it sense of personal and official duty which cannot be disregarded with ? out betraying the confidence re I posed in us hy ibo people. Whether in public or in private life, I shall I stand by that pledge, und to the extent of my abilities and opportu nities contribute in every way to the early and complete triumph of revenue reform." This would indicate that Un distinguished Speaker did not take "Tax Payers" ??warning" much to boa rt. Mr. Morrison has likewise deliv ered himself on the situation, and scouts the idea that Ibo cause of Ta ri IT Reform has been cheeked or its leaders remanded to "back ; seats" by reason of the late elec tion. He says that his defeat is at tributable to the bribery ol* voters by .Jarrett and protectionist agents j who went into his district for that j purpose, and who are known to have spent money /reel'/ during! ? tho ten days next preceding the I election. Ile (Morrison1) also de clares that Tariff Reform is "steadily growing." Mr. Hurd, in an address to Iiis constituents, since bis defeat, says: "The condition of Tu ri IT Ileform was never better in this district. There aro more earnest, deter mined larlir reformers in this dis trict than ever before. * * * * Ar rangements are nearly completed to begin the publication here of a weekly journal, which it is de signed to make a national organ of Tariff Ileform." In other portions of tho North west, in Minnesota und Nebras ka, where Ta ri tl' Reform was urged as a prominent part of the Democratic creed, great gain by the Democrats have resulted. Three Democratic Congressmen were elected from Minnesota und one from Nebraska-said, by the newspapers, to bo the tirst ?wer elected from either of these States? lu Pennsylvania thal might be sid dawn as most completel' under the influence of Protectionists, and from which State there were three members which refused lo follow the lead of Mr. Randall and w ho voted to reduce the tariff taxes, the cause of Tariff Reform held its oien. Two of these Tariff Reform Democrats wore succeeded by men of like views and principies, while the third, Mr. Scott, whose expo sure of the Meei Railroad Har rob bery wt; ublished last week, suc ceeded himself byan increased ma jority. Furthermore, in that state, where Mr. Plaine and Senator Sherman c'aimed that the Tariff was the great Issue, the Lteptibli can majority was reduced from 80,000 in 1881 to about 10,000 in 1880. Then, again, take tho State of New York, of the ten D moerntic I Congressmen from that stat?' who I fdlowed Mr. Hand: li in opposing Turill' Reform only tour escaped the popular vengeance, while the New York Democratic Congress ! men w ho stood by tln-ir Ung were ?'ither returned to Congress, or sue ia o led by other Democrats, In New England, these (New Rnglnivd) states now have hut four Democratic members; in the next Congress they will have eight-a . gain <?f two in Massachusetts, mic i in Connecticut and one in New Hampshire. In a recent interview id' Congressman Collins, of Massa chusetts, with a reporter ?d' tho > Washington (D. C.) Post, that gen tleman (Collins) in speaking of the recent election, sahl : "It is a great Tariff Reform vie . tory. And the Democratic gains j do not half express tho desire for ! Tariff Reform which exists in Massachusetts." The New Orleans Sf ti tes, in sum ming up Ibo resultsof the late elec tion ns affecting Tariff Reform, thus expresses its conclusions, vi/,: "While the cause of revenue re- ; form has suffered in th?' Ohio eon- | tre, it has made advances in ex'ery ! other district of the Union. In the ?South it has more than Iud?! its own. In the Northwest and West it bas enlisted Republicans ns well j tis Democrats in its ranks, and promises soon to be the universal I creed of tho agricultural interests of the country. Hut it is in the j New langland States-the very j stronghold but a year or two ago of protectionism-that tariff reform has bad its most singular success. In Massachusetts, for example, the rejection of the tariff partisans has attained the dimensions of a gonn- i ino rout. It is in this unmistakable change of feeling in districts which have long been overridden by pro tection that tariff reformers find their chief ground of comfort. Tho scales are dropping from the e?os of those engaged in protected in dustries." We think the foregoing facts Jus tify ns in saying that the standard of tariff reform bas, in the late elec tions, neon advanced notwithstand ing the defeat of those two cham pions, Morrison and Hurd. Indeed, the methods resorted to by the pro tectionists to compass the defeat of those champions will serve to arouse the people of the whole Uni ted States, and ns in religion, the "blood of the Martyrs becomes tho seed of the ('burch," so the defeat of Morrison and Hurd by such ne farious methods will bring forth double and treble returns. Rut in the eloquent words of Speaker Oar 11*1? In th? speech already quoted, "no matter who may desertor who may falter, the great tight for re form will go on." Tho friends of tariff reform aro not endeavoring or desiring to "abolish customs duties" us "Tux Payer" ot the Herald erroneously assumes. The grand army of turill" reformers is composed of two par ties-the tariff reformers who would effect a "discreet tariff re form," and tho free traders, who favor tin? abolishing of "customs duties" anni n resort to a direct tax. The writer cannot go so far as to favor freo trade. I am in favor of a "discreet tariff reform," not, how ever, to be confined to "imported articles" ns, "Tax Payer" proposes. A great work has been achieved throughout the North in the last few years in the way of dissemina ting useful information, on not only the tariff, hut taxation generally and nil economic subjects. An efficient and well organized society, with headquarters in New York City, has been in operation ever since 1881 for political education. This society was organized hy the 01 lightened and conscientious men <>f all parties-Democrats, Repub licans und Independents-who, while differing amongst them Selves as to parties, believing that I all parties arc hut means to an end. 1 and not themselves an end, and that all parties need to he re strained within tho hounds of mo rality. The cardinal principle of this society is that a wholesome , and active public opinion, unhamp- ! ered by "bossism" and party "ma chine" is the true safeguard of popular institutions. This society is managed by an executive com mittee of twenty-five persons, se lected from different sections of the United States. The society works hy publishing from time to time, III cheap form, standard books of sound economic and political lit erature. These hooks, pamphlets, tracts, vc., aro soleetod and printed by the managers above mentiom d, and sold to members, and tithers, at the smallest possible advance beyond actual cost. In addition to the importance of a wholesome and active public Opinion, unhamp ered hy "party bot-.ism," another prominent principle of said society is, that "trade has the right to the freest scope unfettered hy taxes except for Government expenses." This, ii will he seen, is plainly against protect ?on. Thc president of this society is the lion. David A. Wells, of Connecticut, a Republi can of national reputation. Be sides the tdiief publishing house nf this society, located in New York City, the society has two other publishing houses, one in Chicago ami the other in Boston. Without going further into par ticulars, the render can see a very good cause for the recent tariff re form triumphs in the North. I must add here, that one of the most active ami ardent workers in tariff reform is Rev. Henry Ward Beecher (of Sharpe Bille noto riety), who has for years been president of a Free Trade club in Brooklyn. Further, the New York Tino?, one of the most int'uentinl Republican papers of the Union, ls an active pa1'?zan of tuc trade. So of a large number of Bcplihli cans. Indeed, ninny manufactur ers are ardent tariff reformers, and e .en fret? traders, because the pres ent rate of tnrifT taxes tire so high that they restrict the importation of raw materials of many kinds necessary lo succ?s,(ni manufac turing. 'Ibo division thus caused among manul-teturers themselves anti the regular, persevering or ganized effort of the society above spoken of, is telling upon tin; pub lic opinion of tht> North. And it w ill not he many years before the monstrosities of the present tariff w ill he numbert d wIth tho past md by abolishing tin customs houses, I would say for the satis faction of "Tax Payer," hut by a tl ?sr net tariff reform, reducing the present rates down to a revenue standard. At the risk of being thom.dit by "Tax Payer" "voluminous" and "consuming a good deal of time and space," I must ask leave to re cur to this subject again next week, when we will give some reasons for not accepting "Tax Payers" re commendation ?if an effort "to re peal the Internal Bevenuo Tax." We repeat, as we have said in a previous, communication, wo aro for tariff' reform, hut not for /ree trade. We can join hands with "Tax Fayer" in "a discreet Tariff Beform" without "abolishing cus toms duties." But WO must insist that "Tux Payer" tell us what amount in tariff laxes tho people of Laurens county annually pay to the Federal G ivernmcnt ? I'hls ls the ques tion he promised to have "Perry or George Tillman, our Congressmen" to answer. We would lo? very much pleased if "Tax Payer" would keep his word. ONK <?F THE PEOPLE.
