A Timely Correction.

In the bill recently introduced in
the United States Senate by Senator
Blucc for tie promotion Of the cducu-
tion Of the colored people, the South
Carolina Agricultural College and
Clailin University were omitted,
and might have passed in this condi-
ton, had it not been observed by
Hon. Samuel Dibhle, Of our town,
and attention called to the omission
hy him in letter 10 Senator Butler.
This is another instance furnishin.
proof to our colored citizens that the
white people Of Orangcburg and OF
the State, are walchiul OF their inter
est. Let note be made Of this by
them.

Gary and Haskell.

The political reading Of the present
week has lccn spiccd by the rcports
of two interviews with General Gary
IN The first Of which he repeats thai,
Tue charges ag inst Gov. Hampton,
asserted rs him as facts OF his own
knowledge, arc lrnc, and the charge s
against himself by Colonel HaSkcll, :,
ic meets with Ioint-h!ank dcnials.
In the second, he ,;.'irws Tic pvliti-
cal issues before the people at The
present time, and draws the in,c he
tween himself as 4 straiyhlout Demo
crut and Governor Hampton as i;
conservative or fusionist. This he
'ha from a desire TO put hiusclf right
before the public. Whether this
mode Of answering the Haskell letter
will meet the demands Of the public
and vindicate the course of Gen.
Gary, remains for time to determine.
SO far as we can gather the sentiment
Of the peop,e II t!!is time, ii is unsat.
isfactury, because the issues are not
met as it was believed they would
be, over Gen. Gary's own signature.
The name Of Cen Hampton is dear
10 every South Caroli:::an, and any
attack upon his reputation without
direct and positive prcof will incvita-
bly, lcbound VIII, damaging effect
upon the maker without, in any wise,
injuring Senator Hampton.

Past School Claims,

Among our statutes there can be
ionnd quite number Of acts provid-
ing for the payment OF "past school
Indebtedness" in various counties OF
the State. The Camden Journal
takes the position That there can be
no such thing rs legal past school in
debtcdness. The law does not permit
The schools to he continued after the
school money has been exhausted.
After this no pay certificate can be
lawfully issued and no legal claim
can arise. School commissioners
who have issued pay certificates un-
der these circumstances should Gc in
uicl"d. This seems TO be the riuh!
view of the case. No doubt m&ny
teachers have rendered service 70: tho

cents per pound, will convert lhc
present hopeful outlook into dark
reality next year, and will serve no
other end than to bring our people
upon another period Of debt and
hopeless poverty. The high prices,
which have prevailed this season fol
Ill gla;}rs, have given the farm cx-
ravagant ideas of future prosperity.
These, we fer, will meet with most
.cprcssing disappointment and hence
lhe necessity for Ills statement.
The present prices are du, directly
TO two leading causes: The short
time upon Which all the factories were
run III 1878 and the early portion Of
1879 In consequence of the labor
troubles 10th in Europe and America
The result OF shch state Of things
WAS that every factory, warehouse
and store was cmplied of manulac-
turcd goods by the usual processes Of
trade and when the troubles ended
and work began again, SO great was
IRE demand for goods that prices be-
gan to rise and have maintained
themselves we'll throughout the sea-
son.
|. is also well known that spccula-
tons in futures had SO far c&cectlcl
the actual number OF bales produced
that spectators were obliged TO force
prices up to such q standard rs might
make the last years crop realize one
third more than that Of 1873. This
was done to enable them to meet
their outstanding contracts. Either
/ his or ruin was the inevitable result
Of the spcculalions in the large cities
of this country and Europe las. ear
That these cuascs will he found in
combination to favor ,hc high price
of cotton mex, year, is scarcely prob
| able.
Ehat Tie prices O: c.tion will no!
lulc as high next fail and winter as
during tic present, season mas he in
tered. from The following facts ::
! From the Bureau Of Statistics We
learn that the numlcr Of bales cX-
ported ~ America in 1873 amounted
10 $40 900, and our home consume.
tion TO | l,GC0,0G0, Wiz. h pas the en-
tire crop produced III 1000 coo bales.
| Other countries raised about the same
number, which afforded an ample sup
ply for the world. This may be in
felred from the low price Of cotton
goods prevailing in the winter and
spring Of rs and 70. The recent
unparalleled improvements in the
cultivation Of cotton, the great in
crease i'll the quantity Of manufactur-
cd manurcs, and the extension Of the
cotton belt OF The South to q much

PoRTsMoUTH, D. July IA.
With the thermometer ranging in the

to somebody, and decided to write to THE

located on the banks Of the Ohio and Sci

FREE TRADE.

Ii Is really surprising to find the
number Of free trade men in Perry
county that we have. Three courths
of them have never stopped to think
what free trade means, and if asked
will say thatit means cheap goods and
wares, and that dollar will buy as
much in free trade times as three will
in tariff times. They do not stop to
think that it wonld take three times
as long to get the dollar in free trade
times. Take the duty off'of wool and
it will not bring over twenty cents a
pound. Is there a farmer in Perry
county that could raise wool at this
price? Most undoubtedly not. The
county would be stripped of her large
income from wool. Take the duty of
Of iron and our coal and iron fields
with their ten thousand inhabitants
would disappear.
We have received numerous circu-
lars as has every printing Office in the
country, askingus to petition congress
to take the duty of of wood pulp, say.
ing that it would reduce the cost Of
white paper. We do not want the
price reduced if it has to be done al
the cost of free trade. We voted the
Democratic ticket up to 1876, a,
which time we voted for Petor Coop
er, but never cast ballot in which We
did not feel we were doing wrong in
indorsing the free trade plank in tho
platform. Our farmers, manufactu.
rers and laborers should give this mat
ter their careful consideration, as th,
welfare Of our people depends upon it
The Somerset press. [volume] (Somerset, Ohio) 1873-1977, 1880-07-22

There is a desire among Democrats
that certain candidates on their ticket
withdraw or the entire ticket will
sustain serious loss. The full ticket
will not receive over one half the
Democratic vote of this township and
will fare worse in some of the other
townships. There seems to be a de-
termination among the Democracy to
put stop to the ring in Perry coun-
ty let the cost be what it will, while
they admit they are sorry they have
to defeat personal friends, they claim
that it is the only means left to save
the party in the county.

The bigoted editors, are harping
about the religious views of the Pres.
idential candidates. They have the
same kind Of n Christian heart as
the ineendiary. The class who are do

bor while really they are sorry they
were not more unfortunate. TIL
