Edgehela Court HOUSE, S. c., JUNE As, As45.

i'some. who claim 10 speak the sentiments
OF the party in power, are much inclined
to couple incidental protection with the
idea of a revenue tariff and although il is
a harmless phrase when properly guarded
and restricted, yel there is in il an inherent
power of expansion capable of covering
almost every abuse which Congress; act
ing fota favored class, may. choose to in.
flict upon the country. The great New
England manufacturers will be perfectly
satisfied with the doctrine of incident al
proertion,' only allow them 10 give The
phrase their own Interpretation.
ll.is:due to the great agricultural class,
lha, tie Government should relieve them
from all such restrictions as forbid them
buying and selling 10 the best advantage.
II is due to the industry OF the country,
that tie burden of taxation. unequallv i'm
posed, should be lightened by dispensing
with all taxation, not absolutely necessary
for revenue. Will the Democracy be true
to its professions, and see that ii is done =?

THE TARIFF.

While the manufacturers are making
dividends of profit. Of from Is to 25 per
cent, we are assured that we can hire one
of the best farms in Worcester county for
less than two per cen, on its valuation but
a few years ago. Why is this Will
some one explain 10 US why The great ag-
riculural interest is thus depressed. while
the comparatively unimportant interest OF
manufactures is almost burdened with ac-
cumulated profits
Men who are thus hauling in dividends,
hand over hand. will never stop TO explain
the sources of their gains; but they who
are oppressed by the operation of The same
system, may well ponder and ask for it:
reasonableness or justice.
Tie present Administration is pledged
to gioe freedom to industry and trade from
The shackles imposed upon Them by Con
gre.s acting for The benefit Of favored class
