Fifty M jast landed. to Newberry's Gr 'AVID will permit me to add one further quotatian from the same message, as follows: "In speaking of the increased cost to the consumer of our home manu factures, rebulting from a duty laid upon imported articles of the sam~e description, the fact is not dover looked that competition among our domestie producers sometimes has the effect of keeping the price of their products, below the highest limit allowed 6y such duty. Bi.t it is dotorious that this competition is too often strangled by combinations quite prevalent at this time and fre quently called trusts, which have for their object the regulation of the supply and price .of commodities made and sold by members of the combination. The people can hard ly hope for any consideration in the operation of their selfish schemes." "Less than a year after this an nouncement of Democratic doctrine it was made atarget for all sorte of attack in a Presidental^election. The timid were assured that absolute free trade would follow Democratic .sue ess; that the importers paid the cus tomn duties, and above all that if any revision or change was expedient it should be entrusted to the .lriends of the tariff. The people were per suaded to continue these friends in political control 'and they forthwith contructed a new scheme of high protection. The -bill then passed was so full of abominations and so plairly showed the heedlessness of its authors and beneficiaries and their disregard of the interests of the people that the voters of the land, though accustomed to yielding to tariff delusion, were prompt! in their revenge and condemna tion. "It might naturally be supposed that so violent a blow as was then given would admonish, if it did not reform, the supporter of selfish tariff benefits. This, however, was by no means in accord with their natures nor in agreement with their macbin stions.- They sullenly surrendered control of goverumental policies and laid in wait for their opportunity. The lamentable conditions wthich quickly gave this opportunity are familiar to you all. I anm not bere to speak of Democratic misfortunes or miscarriage, but to call attention to the uny iel ding tenacity of high tariff rapacity and arrogance and to the manner in which they grow anid develop whenever they have an op U: ge 6B LAST STYLES AND NO SUC [NAUGH ves that spot cash buyir I you will have to do will of the Swellest lines of ( s sell for.

"Sooner than they had the least reason to expect the friends of the tariff or, in other words, those who sought to. grow rich with govern ment help at the expense of the peo ple, with their aides and abettors, had turned over to them the work of again adjusting tariff rates. How did they approach the task? Was it with a patriotic inten tion to benefit the masses of our peo ple and make their burdens lighter? This they would hardly declare with out a Bly wink. Was it even with the fear of the people before their eyes? Surely nothing indieates it. Their work was undertaken as they would have entered uponi a privilege -to make the most of it. I have heard it said upon excellent authority that expectant beneficiaries under the existing tarig laws-by its friends -were actually allowed to construct the schedule by which they expected to profit. This was quite in keeping with the color and complexion of the entire scheme. Evidence abounds in and about it indicating that the wel fare and interests of the common people of our land were not allowed to disturb in any unpleasant degree the serenity of those having the work in hand. I believe this last exploit of the so. called friends of the tariff in its revision should amply satisfy any thoughtful citizen, nnbiased by interest that the spirit of a high pro tetive tariff grows by indulgence and mocks what it feeds upon, and that its progressive greed and ruth lessness is becoming more and more a menace to the welfare and happi ness of our people. How long has it been thought decent or even safe to cheat the consumers of coal by put ting it on the free list, but dishonest ly providing for its custom taxation in another cunningly constructed provision of the law ? How recently ave the friends of the tariff had the boldness to perpetrate such a trick and take the ebances of facirng the people, when in the painful stress of a threatened coal fammne, it should be exposed ? "I have called your attention to the fact that mn 1887 competition, wich, if unrestricted, might modify the effect upon our consumrers ~of a high protective tariff, was spoken of as 'too often strangled by comubina tions, quite prevalent at this time, and frequently called trusts, which have for their object the regulation of the supply and prices of commodi t nI IMONTH' 'H VALUES CAN BE F buying their Fall Carolina.

When thiq was written I suppose the trusts and com binations:mentionaed as gnite preva lent, so far as they were at all impor tant, might have been counted off by the fingers of the hands. When the friends of the tariff last took up the work of its reconstruction these trusta and combinations had increased by the hundreds. The consequence of their operations could not fail to be unAerstood. It was as plain then as now that a high. protective tariff de fends them against foreign compe tion, and that by a greed association and confederacy in production. and price they defend thiemselves against competition at home. It was per fectly apparent that under the broad wings of high protection and fattened by unearned accumulation they could complacently close their ears to. the troublesome cry for easier living from the everyday consanier. "The present tariff conditions have assumed a complexion which not only requires a check of its aggressive ness, but actual amendment, is at last admitted among those responsi ble for these condions. Such a concession was made 'When a dozen or more reciprocity treaties were sub mitted to the Senate, but the sincerity. of the concession anid the honest inten intention to surrender the least advan tage as long as it canbe held is empha tically disproved by the fact that ses sion after session of the Senate has passed without taking the least ae tion on these treaties. "I need hardly refer to the preva. lence just at this time among the I supporters of high protection of dee larations and professions in favor of tariff readjustment. We hear of it on every side. What does it mean ? It means that they see the-handwrit ing on the wall as they have - never seen it before. Does it mean that they are sincerely willing to do some thing for the people, as against old. comrades who have heretofore paid well for the neglect of the people? "How can we believe this when we see still pardaded up and down be fore our sight the hoary.headed, bloated and malodorous old fraud and pretence that the tariff should be revised by its friends? What' have these friends of the tariff done that they should again be trusted ?

Fees That the Secretary of state Stust Collect. The following opinion has been filed by the assistant attorney gene ral in response to a request from the Secretary of State, and it means con siderable to companies desiring to increase their capital stock. Dear Sir: You request to be ad vised as to the fees to be charged for increasing the.capital stock of corpo rations. Section 851 of the civil code of .1902 provides the manner for in creasing the capital stock, and di rects that the fee to be paid to the Secretary of State shall be the fee required by section 1888 for each charter issued or renewed. That section provides: "The Sec retary of State is hereby authorized and required to collect the following fees, upon each charter issued or re newed to any corporation, payable when said charter is issued or re newed. The sum of one mill upon each dollar of the capital stock au thorized,. up to and including one hundred thousand dollars, the sum of one-half of a mill upon each dol lar of the capital stock exceeding one hundred thousand dollar-s, and up to and including one million dollars, and the sum of one fourth of a mill upon each dollar of the capital stock exceeding one million dollars," etc., and the,.fees for filing and recording the necessary papers. It is ev'ident that the fees as stated under section 1888 are the fees to be charged for an increase of capital stock. Of course this section does not apply to municipal corporations, churches, colleges, schools, or other eleemosynary organizations. It is said that the Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to visit the United States in 1904. istor rI PESS.

Does the Work MNAU B10 FIRE IN MARION. The Fire Breaks Out at Midnight and th People, Awakened by the Fire Bell, Bush to the Scene in Crowds. [News and Courier.] Marion, October 31.-Marion wa visited by another destructive fir< last night. About midnight peopl< were aroused by the ringing of th< fire bell and soon a large crowd hat assembled at the scene of the fire When discovered the flames had aned headway that there was no chance o subduing them. The fire originatei in the kitchen of the Planters' Hote and is supposed to have been cansei by a defective flue. Among thE buildings burned were the Planters Hotel, a large three story frame build ing, owned by Mr. J. W. Holliday the frame livery stables of afIessra J.-W. Holliday & Son, a large framE building, owned by Mrs. L. W. Oli. ver, and two small houses, owned by Mrs. M. E. Matthews. All the build ings burned were on the east side of IMain Street, north of the railroad. It was only by the hardest work that the livery stables of Mr. E. E. Evans, just across the street from the Plant. ers Hotel, and the dwelling of 3. M. Williams were kept from burning. Messrs. J. W. Holiday & Son had $9,700 insurance on their buildings and contents; $5,700 of which was in the London and Liverpool and Globe, represented by J. W. Johnson, $2,000 in the Commercial Union and $2,000 in the Phonix of Brooklyn, both represented by Stackhouse & Man ning. Mr. E. B. Wooten, proprietor of the Planters', lost all his furniture ~-ad effects, inclnding all his family waring apparel. His loss is about $2,200, on which there was $1,500 insurance, distributed among the fol lowing companies: Phonix, of Lon don, $650, Greenwich $450, Palatine $200, all in the agency of P. B.. Ha mer, and $200 in the Equitable, of Charleston, in the agency of J. B White. W. F. Williams, whose wood shop was among the buildings burned, had $400 insurance on his tools and material in the Orient, J. B. White's agency. T. E Taylor had $150 On his barber shop forniture in the Man chester, J. B. White's agency. Mrs Oliver and Mrs. Ma hews had no in surance on their buildings, and their losses will amount to about $300 each.

S "I want to sound a note of warn ing," said the chronic alarmist yes. terday to a reporter for The News Iand Courier. "People call me a pessimist because I occasionally ring the toesin of approaching trouble. I'm running over with advice today and here is the first instalment: Good people of Cliarleston give your telephone a daily bath. Do you not know that disease germs lurk in the mouthpieces of these instruments? If you don't belheve me ask your doctor. Did it ever occur to you that many persons use a telephone in the course of a.day and among them are those afflicted with lung and throat diseases? These persons not only breath into the mouth pieces, but often cough in them. The result is that in the course of a day the mouthpiece is apt to be coated with microbes. Many cases of tuberculosis and similar diseases are attributable to the neglect of those who own the telephone. .Give the telephones an antiseptic batji. The department of health in all the larger cities recommend it. "I broached this subject to Mr. Nathan Beeswax several days ago," went on the chronic alarmist, "and it excited him so I was sorry Itnen tioned it. I told him there wasn't any use in trying to dodge these terms because they had the entree to society of high and low degree. I assured him that everywhere that Beeswax went the microbes were sure to go. Whereupon, with a dry sob that shook a tear out of him as large as a horse apple, Mr. Bees#ax sat down and turned loose the following: With microbes in milk, And microbes in water, And microbes at large in yoidr bread, Life is now so precarious, And the times so malarious, That a man is a sight safer dead. A Missouri editor apologizes to his readers for the lack of news as follows, whieb shows the trials to which a contry editor is often sub ject: "We expected to have a mar riage and a death notice this week, but a violent storm prevented the wedding, and the doctor being sick himself, thbe patient recovered, and we are accordingly cheated out of both items."
