INE VERRY, S. C., Jan. 25.-The 16dt free trade meeting in New -York developed one fact certainly, ana4 that is that Democracy, Repub" piaajsw and Agrarianism can all geet on a common level when it comes to discussing free trade. Does It not prove that neither the Demo. "ratio nor Republican parties recbg. niao free trade, and that the members 6f, hosQ parties who do, must go out. '.$4 f4 their respective parties to do tltQ pbe plattorm of the Democratic pptymcalls for "a tariff for revenue -ourlyr.l Whus the party admits the rtAb" tht free trade is impossible, }t1dthit we biust have a tariff suil3. . mneettthe expenses of govern. Mt,. economically administered. !fher84e but one way of raising an amqunt of money sufficient to meet t.e "_ ei enses of government, and ,pa$ is by direct taxation. Are we prepared for this? If not, we had - better.let well enough alone. The Democratic party is pledged t64 reduction of the tariff, to the end thit tliere shall no longer be a sur. :plus!over the expenses of the govern. ment, As it is now, one-third of the circulating medium of the country (over fve hundred millions of dollars) Is locked up in the vault of the Treas. kry,yat Washington. This makes m01ey scarce, as it leaves only about one -thousand millions of dollars as the circulating medium for over sixty millions of people, when we should have at least thirty dollars per capita, or eighteen hundred millions of dol. lars. It is true that the present ad. rninltration has turned loose a large amnount by calling in and paying oft the greater part of the three per cent. bonds, thus setting free this money for investment in other ways. To ,.his we may attribute, in a great :,measure, the building of hundreds of miles of railroads in the South, to. gether with the development of the goal and iron interests of Alabama 'aId .9ther Southern States. The 'sboner the National Government pays off its ipdebtedness and ceases to be a borrower of the capital of the coun. try, the better will it te for the peo. ple generally; when turned loose this money must and will seek investment in lands, mines, foundries, railroads, etc., and will as a consequence, be put in birculation. Property of all -kinds will then enhance in value, and the country will again be prosperous. When the national debt is paid the tariff carn be reduced in proportion. Ije who favors a national debt and at the same time favors a reduction of the tariff is certainly inconsistent, for the one certainly follows the other. A national debt is not a blessing, or a necessity, in a democratic govern. ment. It may be in a monarchial form of government, where to perpet. uate it the moneyed men must be. come interested in its debt. If the Democrats desire tariff re. form they have only to stick to their "party to get it. If they desire free trade they must go elsewhere, for the Democratic party is not so foolish as to preach a doctrine which is limpos. sible. As long as the government exists It rnust have the means of sup *port and this can only be obtained through the tariff and intcrnal reve. nue-~.to out off the latter will only increase the amount to be raised by tihe former. In other words for every ddllar cut off of the internal revenue n jerust be a corresponding in. * j~jj~of thne tariff. Let them both 1A'idbut let the tariff be reduced all thtat it can be safely. Those who deside free trade should remember in addition to its being an imp)ossib)ility tha?t England desires it--she reels so Mcudly to America and Americans thnat.she desires it?. Nedver take the advice of your ene. *mies~ They seek not to benefit us but themselves. Trhey would destroy *American manufacturers and Ameri. can evorkingmen. We do not desire to see our citizens who are now get. ti,ng.fair wages reduced to a level 161hsthe half paid Englishn working. men. And yet free trade means nthing else, for with It every mill A&iufonndry and shop In tine country would close, or the price of labor would be reduced. Let the working men of this country pause and re. fle before ti ey adopt any such doc. trinle, for it means nothing more nor less than their degradation and en, slavement. "Never take the advice of your enemies." 8. PoPE. 'hfe Cause of Hard Times. We have often I>ointed out the causes df hard times in our country and will now illustrate:. Prom the 1st to the 18th day of the presnt month 'the following were received at Rock 1uh611,0415 bushels of corn, 966 bushnels meal, 2,280. bar. rels flour, 25,166 pounds bacon' and flye barrels oft whiskey-between two Kndred.aid two hundlred and fifty gallqe Wb@tis true of Rock 11111 is true, Me&aro sure,. of nearly every section of the State; too much produce being imported to be paid for in cotton with short crops 'end low prices. The quantity of bacon, corn, flou and meal that is yearly brought int< Sumter County would astonish any body, and thus it is that the profit, of o4r labors as a people go to en rich and build up other communities Such figures as given above, for a small it place as Rock Hill, in sr short a time as the Rock 1111 Heral says, "tell the tale of our distress and account in a groat measure fo our impoverished condition." rhe Ieratl also says: "Ther( must be a speedy change, or bank ruptcy.and utter ruin will overtakc this entire section as sure as the nigh follows the day." When will the people of the Stati realize this?-Sumter Advance. N:EW1VLETS. GENERAL. January 2ath. The brewers at Des Moines, Ia. have again closed their retail bars.

A decided sensation was created at the annual meeting of the Chicago Union League Club Tuesday night by Edward F. Cragin, on behalf of the committee on political action proposing for honorary membership s the lion. William E. Gladstone, the - Premier. Opposition was speedily developed, however, and a member % raised the point that an allen being Ineligible for active membership-he 1 was also ineligible for honorary membership. Several other members suggested that the proceeding was Irregular from the fact that the name had not been reported through the proper committee. Some further dis cussion ensued and when the motion that the matter be laid on the table was put to a vote there were few dissenting voices. The incident ex. cited a great deal of comment, and there were many who said the affair was unfortunate from every stand point and more particularly from the fact that there are about one hundred Englishmen who are members of the club.

Where there are two such col leges in our.State the amount appro priated to each State and Territory for this purpose ($15,000 a year) is to be equally divided between them unless the State Legislature shall otherwise direct.

The President's reception to Con gress and the Judiciary, the second of this season's series, took place at the White House last night. There was a large throng of distinguished peo. ple present, including a great number of Congressmen, but there was not the crowding which occurred at the pre vious reception. The different rooms were tastefully but, with the excep tion of the East room, not elaborate. ly decorated. Palms and tropical plants were the chief decorations, and cut flowers were only used to decorate the East room. The Red room looked eaceptionally charming. Only a few dark green tropical plants were used as decorations, but they were so tastefully placed as to art fully relieve the*garnet furniture and ornaments of the room. The Marine Band was stationed in the lobby and furnished classic and popular music. The presentations were made by Col. Wilson, United States Army, and Lieutenant Duvall, United States Navy, The President was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Manning, Mrs. Endicott, Mrs. Vilas and Mrs. Lamar.

D)id. you ever hear the above ex pression used? Do you know what it means? It means a great (deal. But there are lots of p)eople in the world whto seem not to know its mean ing, or to know the value of giving heed to it. To mind one's own busi ness generally, includes letting othier p)eople's business alone. It seetns to be a peculiarity of hu man nature f'or some people to be al ways meddling with other people's business. -T'here may be several reasons for this. One is, that sonme folks haven't much business of thteir own to mind, andl others mnedd(le with their neigh bor's business sometimes, to get an unjust advantage of him, and1( sometimes they (10 it out of a sp)irit of pure "cuissednless." MIndling one's owtn business andl letting other people's business alone, is strictly legitimate, and htonorab)le, and pays handisome dividends oni the investment; in fact men have been known to make fortunes and (lie happy by minding their own busi ness. And yet there are people and we know some of them--who are continually meddling and inter fering with other people's business in unfair, underhanded wvays. Some people seem to have pilenty of time on their hands for this sort of' thing, always trying to take or gain an un (111 advantage over their neighbor one way or another. We haive alwvays found tht we had our hands full minding our owni busi ness "Mind your own business," Is a maxitn that could be studiedl with profit by a great many p)eople.--Sum TEACHER{S' DEPARTMVNT. a is - ARiTIURltKI11LER1, EDITORt. di ri, Why Not Give Us Southern Bookl. a I have a word or two on the subject af books.
