KEEP THE TARIFF IK VIEW. By far the most important ques tion now before the people is the tariff, ami until Congress does away with the obnoxious McKinley tax; all efforts to improve the condition of the people at large will accomplish very lit tile; for the simple reason that this taiilf is the great vampire that has Wn drawing blood from every class, except the protected manufac tures, and no better system could be conceived of to enrich the few at the expense of the many. For years the intelligent Southern farmer has realised this, and has vainly plead ■and argued with his Western brother to join forces with him, and forever put an, end tw this great iniquity; but his work was in vain, his efforts were derided, and the farmers of the West, with the strange fatality that some times effects a whole people, as well as particular individuals, so far from fighting the Octopus of protection; assisted by his voice and vote to rivet the fetters that now hind him hand and foot; too late, and with ruin staring him in the face, now stretches • out his hands to the South for help to enable him to shake off the coils •of this mighty Aaconda. One of the principal compaints of the Alliance is the undoubted fact that the wealth of the country is rapidly becoming •concentrated in the hands of the few; and it would be well, while making this statement, for the farmers to re member that the doctrine of protec tion has been the most potent factor In making this condition of things :]K)ssible, and the only way to stop it is to revise the tariff. It will be well for the Western far mer to hear in mind that he is pri marily resjxatstbfe for all this, and also remember that while the South ern planter will gladly join him in doing away with unjust legislation, he is too wise and conservative to be •dragged into supporting measures that may prove worse than the evils they propose to remedy; especially ■when they take into consideration, what they must know to he true, that if the tariff only bore on the South that it, of course, would in the estimation of our Western broth- .ers l>e a very wise and beneficent law. their experiments without let or hind rance, and trot waste their efforts in behalf of such a callous and unsym pathetic people as the inhabitants of South- Carolina. mm and 'Dress Making. Mrs. R. W. Parker, HAS JUST OPENED In the building oppositse “The Bank of Darlington:” A FASHIONABLE Millinery ami' Dress Milking Establishment.

SPUING FIELD, Mass. A "''iiey at Darlington, So Ca. H. L. CHARLES, Agent. -Til E- TI.HE WILL DECIDE. Some friends, in whose judgement ■.•■we have a great deal of confidence, . seem to think that the Hekau) is -something of an alarmist in finding ;4iuy possible connection between the •Woman’s Industrial College and Fe- Tmale Suffrage; but while giving the i-utmost weight to their views, we are ,•compelled to adhere to our position, and insist that there is great danger of the college, if not openly at least .covertly, being used to advance the fwild and revolutionary theories of ;the advocates of female suffrage. We -do not wish to be understood us op- jwsing the establishment of the col lege; because if properly managed, and kept to its legitimate work, it .might accomplish good results; but merely to call attention to what we .conceive to be a very serious danger iin connection with it. No one will for a moment believe that the Legislature, in jKissing the .act, contemplated that such a con tingency might arise; nor will any .one accuse Gov. Tillman of being an .advocate of female suffrage; hut to .say the least, he acted unwisely in • appointing, on the commission, two ladies, who, if we mistake not, are avowed adherents of this so called .social and moral reform. Whatever may be the views of the faculty of this college, we venture if he prediction that sooner or later (these advanced ideas will be taught; .if not openly at least secretly, and before we are aware of it, the evil •will be wide-spread. The mere fact that the establishment of the college would, in some respects, be regarded as an entering wedge, is of itself suf ficient to make us move with caution in the matter. We scarcely think that the people .of this Stale are prepared for the p'opogation o' suc h subversive doc trines, and take the liberty of sug gesting to the advocates of female suffrage that they can liud, in some of the new Western States, much more congenial soil for sowing the seeds of this fanaticism, than they ,can ever ho|>e to have in South Cam- •lina. They are neither strong enough in numbers or influence to make their emigration a matter of very serious loss. When people are not in sym pathy with the laws and customs of any particular State or country, it is clearly their duty to move to some Inure congenial laud.
