1858, 4S.65l,l77; In 1859, S,Sl6, ,222,
imd In 1850. el0, ,9eA ,e06. But IN 1851 /,
the Republicans passed. their high
tariff for tho benefit Of Now FnglaMd
aud Pennsylvania, aud the result was
that the expectation Of American
cotton goods almost ccased. IN 1873
It was only e2.947. $50; and IN 1875 II
was only u, 900; so that In four.
teen years, under this high Republi.
can tariff, our export Of Gotten goods
had not reached tho point they at.
tained under three years Of tho
Democratic tariff Of 1857. Tho 1ri.
bnne says:
"lf the low tariff Of 1857 could have

we can have no sympathy. They

And it is still more terrible when any

rather Spprscly attcn lcl-much to
tho su, p!ise of those interested in
the organization Of the Democracy
Of Fairfield. From the large
attendance upon The last county
convention it WAS reasonable to in
! fer that all the town ships woull
bn fully represented | ut t!,is Sc ond
ant equally important g.thcring
We deeply regret tte small attend
ancc on Saturday, but we arc not
inclined to Judge the good people Of
: Fairfield harshly on account of
their lack cf active interest in
public gatherings. Aside from the
homcly consideration that many of
the people regard their presence Oh
their farms ut this particular time
Of the first moment. there arc many
circumstances calculated to make
them indifferent, or seemingly So.
to the movement recently in
auSuratcl by the people of this
State. Chief among these is the
fact that previous to 1868 there was
no snch thing known in South
Carolina as st'i"t party orsanizo-
ton. There were of course differ
cnccs OF opinion in politics. and
there WAS many walm campaign
between candidates or SETS of can.
didat"s. But the election almost
always depended upon the personal
popularity Of the aspirants, and
it mattorcd not much, as Il question
Of public interest, who was elected.
There Was, in any event, al honest.
economical and efficient State and
District government. But now this
is all changed. IL is true that the
paramount need Of the people, and
the prime object Of the Democratic
party, is the inauguration and pc:-
pctuation Of good COVE, nmcnt in
South Carolina, and that thee arc
really no ppiiiirul issues ut stake.
But for many reasons which we
need not tlkc spnc" to cnumcrItr.
II political organization Of the
honest Taxpayers is now necessity.
There must he some mcthrd in the
connsels and in the actions OF the
people in their efforts towards the
redemption Of the State. and to
this end, thorough organization is
simply Indispensable. IT will not
fully sclvc the end in view for the
people to resolve to vote to II man
on the side Of riGht--ovcn assuming
that full vote can be pollel with =
out previous organization. What
is needed, is that the people actual -
~ cn'DU themselves in the Demo
cratic Organization long before The
voting time comes. There is need
