OAKLINGTON ifc CO., Proprietors. PJiKACIIEltS IN I-OLITICB. We are not In favor of calling a constitutional convention at this time, but when such a convention Ia called we have one suggestion to make, and lt is that the section of our old constitution which prohib its ministers of tho gospel engag ing In politics, bo re-enacted. We yield to no ono in reverance for tho office of ministers of the gospel. Indeed, their work is far too sacred and highly exalted above other avocations to bo dragged into the dubious paths of politics. Al though history tells of States and Kingdoms that have failed to sur vive a union between Church and State, we soo even in free America; and stranger still, in South Carolina ministers who forsake thc work of the Master to enjoy the honor of their fellowmen-sucli honor as comes from holding a public office. Quite a number of ministers are member* of the present legislature of South Carolina. From a close observation of the proceedings of the late session, we say emphati cally that they are out of placo. The legislature is not the place foi sermons, although each of the cler ical legislators have taken occasion to deliver several sermons at a cost to tho State of from $300 to $100 each. These mouthy members are responsible for the hurried legisla tion that always results when time ls wasted in high-flown, irrelevant oratory. Tho work of a minister is of greater importance even than that of a legislator; yet it is diflerent, aud we think should be performed separate and apart from legislative work. THAT LOCAL LEGISLATION. Two weeks ago we mentioned tho fact that the tendency of the pres ent legislature was to pass local laws. Now, to make a synopsis of tho work of the last session we have 124 acts passed. Of these 88 are of a local or personal nature, and 32 aro general. Each of the 124 measures, local and general, cost tho people on average of $333 each. Wo do not censure the legis lature for tho small amount of "Work which has been accom plished, for in our opinion we have already too much legislation, but We will rejoice to see tho timo when tl?e General Assembly of South Carolina will insist on passing laws for tho State instead of tho Coun ties. This kind of legislation in this State originated with the Slock Law, and as every man knows, it was shown than to bo a failure. It was first left to the Counties and most of them voted against it, so tho legislature finally decided that the County was not tho proper law making power, and consequently the general stock law was passed. But the stock law might properly be left to the Counties. Some sec tions would be bencflttcd by it while stock-raising and grazing soctions would not. Hut wo fail to see why Trial Justices and other public'offices should bo empowered todo certain acts In ono County and not in another. THE A., O. ? W. RAILWAY. We have learned from a reliable source that Susong A Co., who have purchased the above railroad, arc backed by men who have no con nection or interest in other railroad enterprises. They are Tennessee men who are working in the inter est of Knoxville. From this fact wo may confidently expect to seo the road which passes through a portion of tills County, giving an outlet to this section in tho great West, and at no distant day. A re mark of Mr. Rumbo, of the com pany, Is significant: "If wo couldn't seo daylight be tween hero nnd Knoxville you don't suppose we would bo putting all thia money and work between here and Angusta, do you?" THE TARIFF. No. IX. A BETTER DAY COMINO. Presidr-nt Olaroland's noble itandfor Far mers a#d Lower Federal Taxes! Editor Advrtiaer: Having written so much on tlw> subject of tho Tariff duties or Tax us and having said so much in en deavoring to direct tho attention of your "readers, the people, to the tax drainage to which we aro sub jected, and tills cause being ono so iir from within our reach, and any Toinedy apparently to immy so horseless, that it ls with no little " jtlon that"we are aldo to this communication somo Miraging report of tho outlook for tho probability of re lief, a relied" that will not deni lu tho fractions of a cent but which will deal in dollars. Keeping in mind that "Tax payer's" ? special witness lion. George D. .Tillman, says wo pay seven times xs much in taxes to tho United States ns wo do to the State, that our St ate tax es aggregate about $800.000, that Gov. Richardson estimates our tax es under tho Federal tariff at some* where from $16,000,000 to $18,000,000 keeping these facts lu mind, let us see what is said of the chances of Tariff reforms, by those in the host position to know. The Washing ton correspondent of the New York World writing from "Wash ington, I). C., Dec. 7th, says; "The tariff reformers are iu a bet ier humor now than they wore at tito last session. A radical change has taken place since tho day Mr. Morrisson called up nis tariff bill last July, when tho vote on consid eration was defeated by 86 Demo crats, who upon that occasion vo ted with tho Handall wing of the party. The result of thc late elec tions h:is changed the opinion upon me tariff question of eleven gent lo mon who voted against considera tion of tho bill,w .io will, when the issue be again brought before the House, vote not only for (ho con sideration, but likewise advocate the reduction of the revenue." The same correspondent after speaking of Congressman Hewitts zealous demand for tariff reform passes to the temper of Congress man Morrison, of whom he says; "Mr. Morrison is more encourag ed, possibly, than Mr. Hewitt. The tariff leader has had many things within the past two days to make him feel that he will faro much better whoo he calls up bis bill than he did tn July. He says tho sentiment hus changed; that ho has has already had a prom Iso of support from about fifteen num bers who opposed him now. It is said that others can be relied upon to follow him when tho time conies and from present indications he believes he will be able to get the bill boforo tho House and have it discussed. He is confidant that he will bo able to pass tho greater and more important features of it." But the most encouraging part in this connection is the earnest frank and emphatic manner in Which President Cleveland, in bis message to Congress, shows tho reason for Tariff reform. Speaking of thc surplus revenue that under the present taritr taxes aro wrung from the people, the President says ; "We have arrived at a stage of superfluous revenue which bas aroused thc people to a realization of the.fact that the amount raised I professedly for the support of the Govcrnmenr is paid by them as ab solutely as if-added to the price of the things which supply their dully wages-it was paid at Axed periods into thc hands of tho tax gatherer." Again he says; "Tlie present condition of affairs constrains our people to demand that, by a revision of eur revenue laws, tho receipts of the Govern ment shall be reduced to thc nec essary expense of its economical administration, and this demand should bo recognized and obeyed by tho peoples representatives in tlie Legislative branch of the Gov ernment." Of the laborers he jussly says : "We recognize In labor a chief factor In the wealth of the Repub lic, and wo treat those who have it in their keeping as citizens entitled to the most careful regard and thoughtful attention. This regard and attention should bo awarded them, not only because labor is th< capital of our workingmen, justly entitled to its share of Government favsr, but for tho further and not loss important reason that the la boring man, surrounded by his fam ly in his humble home, as a con suiiKir, is vitally Interested In al that cheapens the cost of living and enables him lo bring within his domestic circle additional com forts and advantages." Ol thc farmers, bear him and i Federal taxes arc not deserving consideration of those who under take to tell us "what's the matter?' But hear; But our farmers and agricultu rists, those who from the soil pro duce thc things consumed by them aro perhaps more directly am plainly concerned than any otho of our citizens in a Just and cure fol system of Federal taxation Those actually engaged in au; more remotely connected witl this kind of work number noarl; one-half of our population. Noni labor harder or more continuous! than they. No enactments limit their lion rs of toil, and no interpc sltlon of tlie Government onhancc to any great extent the value C their products. And yet for man of tho necessaries and comforts c lifo, which the most scrupulou economy enables them to bring ir to their homes, and for the Imph ments of husbandry they aro ol liged to pay a price largely ineren> ed byan unnatural profit,which b tho action of tho Government i given to the moto favored mani facturer. I recommend that, kee] ing in view ail these consider! Mons, tho increasing and unnece sary surplus of the national ineom annually accumulating, be release to thopeolpo by an amendment I our revenue laws, which sha cheapen tho price of tho necesfl ties of life, and give froe entrain lo such imported material as 1 American labor may bo nianufac tired into marketable commod ties ? Aro tho whole United Stat? under tho control of tin "oligarchy of lawyers" who aro ii leged to have run things in Soul Carolina! Tho reader will bear in mind tin tho point at which wo havo bee aiming throughout those articl has been to show that great a? hi been the stagnation of buslne and the depression of tho Agrien taral interest, it has not. been Just chargeable to tho uiiegod prodige Ity or Incompetency of the Sta Domoeracy as shown first by tl provnlenco.of this some dopressh In other States of tho Union if not tn all o? them, and ns Bhowh sec ondly, by the existence of another kind of taxation, viz: Federal Tax ation under the tariff, which iii fact waa practically far tnorc burden? sonic than the j?8tnto taxation, be cause Slate taxation was levied Oil property, while the Federal 'was founded on consumption und be cause further, while tho levy for State taxes is only r>} mills, or a little over .1 of 1 cent on tho dollar, the average Federal taxation is -Ki cents'on the dollar of all imported manu lac tu rles, while on many kinds of manufactures the Turill' tax is first specific (per yard or per lb., or per bu.,) and thou M//| addi' tion thereto" a certain per ceiltngo ad valorem, as in cotton and wool en goods, and manufactures of Iron, steel and leather etc., the former or Suite ?axation being limited to a few mills on the dollar while tho the Federal enters in larga propor tions into everything consumed by the poorest family, thus often tax ing4i practical pauper as heavily as it does a rich man. Wo have not had any dream of attempting to get up another Nullification or an other Secession, end whether Tarin reform will effect anything this Session of Congress or not, is not relative to the point we are driving at. That point is, that winn cer tain gout lomen undertook to tell tho people of Laurons und Soutl Carolina, "what's tho matter" am "what's the remedy," they novel once alluded to Federal taxation timi huge exaction of 1(5 per cent ad valorem tax on tho consumptior Of the County, that ra rilled sclf-ilC ting suction pump, the Federal tar iff. Ami just hero lot-it bo renient herod that no one has been mon prominent or Influential in "whoop ing up" tipo furor against un necea saryand unjust taxation than Capt H. lt. Tillman, either In Lauren: County or tho State, and yet if lu has in any of his numerous add res ses oe letters eithoi ''before tin Primaries," or since, taken any no tico of Federal Taxation as one o tho causes of the oppression of tin people, WO have never soon o heard of it! Could be have bool ignorant of such a form of Taxa tion? His own brother, Hon. Got I). Tillman, declared in bis speed at Johnson, in ridgefield County on tho -1st Oct. last, und reporte in tho NeWS & Courier of tho 2-t\< Oct. 0., that the people of Soul Carolina paid seven times us niue in taxes lo the Federal ( lovernmoil as they did to tho state (?oven ment! And Gov. llichnrdson, hin self a farmer, d?chues in his recen Inaugurai, that in his opinion Soul Carolina's share of the Fodert Taxes per annum is somewhere ht tween fifteen and eighteen million of dollars! Tho President of th United States in his recent mossag thinks it worthy of the subject t say thia /""Our farmers ami ngrletiltt fJ?f~ rists * * * ure perlinos mor directly und plainly coi cerned than any other of on citizens in a ?Just and can ful system of Fedora! taxi Ltion." And in the same mo-sago tb President clearly enforces tli great need of a revision of tl: Ta ri fi*. If then thc people who are hun cued by Federal as well as sta! taxation are to bo lcd by their "A; rlCUlturnl Moses" and ure to bc fol by hint "what's the matter" an "whats tho remedy," ought he m to have taken some notice of Foi eral luxation inste >f sadd Hr the whole burden on ' i State < Uy (?ruinent-the State Democracy We would not have him or anyhoi' shield our State Government fro anything with which tin y ure jus ly chargeable, hut hus not C'a] Tillman committed a griovoi wrong against ourStato Denioeriu in holding them up as alone rcspo sible for taxes ! It is time for thinking men to d termino in their own minds when really conn's the burden ofTaxnth under which we are strugglin Does it come from the State, or tl County ortho two together or do it come mon' than ail from Kedoi taxation through the ta rill'. ? Capt. H. lt. Tillman right when asor flies our hard t ?ines to t li?1 bea State taxes (5 J mills ora little mo than A of 1 cent on the dollar) whl he says is caused by an 'Oligarchy lawyers ?" Or is it true as lion. Gi I). Tillman declares in his .Johns speech, that wi! ure taxed BOV times as much by the Federal Co eminent as by the State? Wh Capt. H. K. Tillman undertook toll the people "what's the matti he was solemnly bound <o tell t whole truth ; then why did lie i tell us about Federal taxation? the State levy of 61 mills prodtu a State tax of v^<"> <><>t) as shown the report of the Comptroller Co oral, then the Federal tax upon 1 State according to the other T man w $801?

Now nlthoi tho amount which as a State County, wo may pay in Fedi Taxes, is paid in the increased pi we pay for things wo buy, ProsidentClcveland, in his moss to Congross, speaking of the hoi burden of Federal taxes on farm says "they pay them just tho Be as if that amount were handed rectly to the tax collector." Wo will not discuss thc prine of tho protective policy fir tho i sibility or desirableness of Ti roform. These aro outsii of ?ea rpo se, which has boen to si hat tho greatest part of our bur in the shape of taxation, had even been noticed or hinted a Capt. B. lt. Tillman. In these articles we may ho, as has been snorringly remarked "on a cold trail."

O.Niion'in; PEOPLE. P. 8. Since preparing the foregoing, the "Reformers" effort .in Cougross to take up and consider the tar ili failed by only six votes-only (J voles out of SOS. Nevertheless this vote shows a great gain on tho side of "tariff reform" since tho last Congressional election return ed an increased number of "tariff reformer.-;,'' the new Congross to begin after the Ith of .March next may be confidently expected to do something for our relief. One of the People Testimony of iii ll Ar,->. Pupers are not much account ns appearance, hut I never took one that did'nt pay nie in .some way, more than I paid for it. One time nil old friend started a little paper away down in Southwestern Geor gia and sent it to nie, and I ?sub scribed just to encourage him, and SO after a while, it published a no tice that an administrator had an order to sell several lots of land at public outcry, and one of the lots was in my county. So I Inquired about tho lot, and wrote my friend to atttond tho sale and run it to fifty dollars. Ile did so and bid off tho lot for mo at thirty dollars, ar.d I sold it in a month to the man it joined for one hundred, and so I made sixty-eight dollars clear by Inking that paper. My father tobi me that when be was a young man he saw a notice In a paper that a school teacher was wanted away off tn Ja distant county, ami ho went there and got the situation, and a little girl was sent to him, und after a while she grew up mighty sweet and pretty, and be foll in love with ber and married ber.
