We levy duties on hundreds of articles
manufactured and produced in Great
Britain, that country levies duties on only
three articles Produced or manufactured IN
the United STATES, yet England derives
larger revenue from those three articles
than we obtain from a thousand. Where
does this enormous taxation go to, if not
in the treasury? The answer is obvious;
it goes into the pockets of monopollsts.
England levies import duties fer revenues
only" and every dollar goes into the treas
ury We levy import duties for protection
with incidental revenue; under this system
thousandsaof dollars go into the treasury,
millions into the Golfers of the protected
classes.
England raises revenue from three
American productions, wines spirits. and
tobacco; on two of these she does not COM
pete with us at all, and therefore the duties
cannot protect any English industry. and
even the tax on spirits does not give the
English distiller the slightest protection
against the distiller in Kentucky or Illinois,
for the reason that Great Britain imposes
an Internal Revenue duty on English dis
titled spirits, exactly equal to the Elk
ternal Revenue duty imposed upon
the distilled spirits of Kentucky. If the
American distiIler cannot sell his high
wines at profit in London, it is not because
the English laws discriminate against him
in favor of the English distiller, but be-
cause the revenue law Of his own country
impose an Internal Revenue duty upon his
manufacture All the protection" that
the English distiller gets is what the
American revenue laws give him, he gets
none whatever from those of his own
country.
Having shown by comparison the rather
humiliating fact that the balance of rev
enue between the two countries is in favor
of England, the American propounds the
following fearful conumdrum: IF there
is case of hardship ON either side, where
is it? We answer that the hardship is on
both sides, but only one side is responsible
for it, Our laws inflict great hardship on
the English who want to sell, but greater
hardships on our own people who want to
buy. England throws her markets open
to all our products, and all our manufac- |
turers; she levies duty on only three of
them, and on these, not for protection,
but on the enlightened and philosophical
principle s.for revenue op1y.'-Ioaoa State |

Evidently Mr.. Parnell finds no trouble
in getting farm work done in ireland,
whatever may be the experience of others.
The scene just presented by the labors of
many hundred volunteers, employing 1873
ploughs and 500 carts, in ploughing and
preparing his land, will be historic. And
another historic picture of the day, not
destitute of comic touches, is the seizure OF
copies Of tie United Ireland containing a
cartoon ridiculing Mr. Forster, while
Mrs. Maloney stands by denouncing the
Seizers ~

A sTALWART ADMINISTRATION.

One by one the roses fall, and in turn
half breed gives place to stalwart. To a
man up tree the whole thing is rather
comic, but there is anything but joviality
in the office holders mind as he reflects
upon the time when the places that once
knew him shall know him no more. Pres
ident Arthur is very deliberate in his
changes but he is none the less sure; there
is no hurry about the matter, but there is
certainty which to the half-breed, is hor-
rible. He did not at once dismiss his cab
met, but he did not give them that cordial
invitation to remain that inspires a man
with confidence that he is wanted. Stall
wart Folger has taken half-breed Win
dom's place, Blaine has confided his du-
ties to a stalwart, and Filley, one of the
immortal three hundred and six, will soon
take seat in the cabinet Every office
holder that has been removed has been a
half breed, his successor is invariably q
sta1wart.
President Arthur said that he regretted
the factional fights in the party, he IN
doubtedly does; but it is safe to assert
that if to-day that factionalism should dis
appear and the republican party become a
band of united brothers, that still when
Arthur made appointments he would
choose his men from those who, when
there were factions, belonged to the stall
wart one.
It is not right to state that the stalwarts
urged Guiteau to commit his crime for the
sake of the Political advantage which
would result to their faction; but it is right
to say that they have used every advantage
which that crime gave them. They did
not assassinate President Garfield,
but they have profited by his assasssi-
nation.
The changes have been made gradually
10 as not to awaken public comment, but
here is not shadow of doubt that !

THE RICHMOND AND DANvILLE Com
DINATroN.-SWe look upon this syndi.
cate Of railroads "a more inimical than
friendly to South Carolina. We see
nothing in any Of their operations that
indicates anything to tho contrary.
They evidently desire and aim to
divcst all trade and produce to New
York and Richmond, Ind would, if
let alone, discriminate SO fcarfully in
their rates as to make them umcndura-
Bile. They arc a power that is being
felt, and if they succeed in controlling
the Augusta and Knoxville Road and
stopping it at Greenwood will have
still more power and do immense
harm. We sincerely trust the sinking
fund commission will not sell out tho
stock of the State to them. 1t is 90
miles we believe from Greenwood to
Spartanburg, and if tho road is cx-
tended to that poiut it will not only
develop fine country, invite immi-
grafton and promote factory enter
priscs, but the annual tax to tho State
would be $50,000, consequently any
any gain by the sale Of the stock at par
would be tritling and paltry compar-
ed to the ultimate advantage to be
reapcd.

CHOL ERA ENFdNTUM.
Precautons to be Observed During tn,
Warm Summer Season.,
From the August ta Chronicle.

Warm Summer Season.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
A writer in the New York Sun, al
ludimg to the fact that cholera intnntum
and analogous troubles carry Off the
heated terms Of summer, SAYS: "It
may almost always be traced to food
and drink aud the manner of giving
them. You would be surprised to
know the number Of children who are
killed inadvertently by the careless
ness or ignorance of mothers or nurs-
es. The majority of infants who die
in the summer season are those who
are fed by the bottle; the milk used is
often sour or partly so. Another pro-
life cause of their death, and an cX-
ceedingly important one, is the failure
to provide them sufficiency Of cool
water to drink"
He proceeds to show that the depri-
vation Of water has brought about n
larger number of cases Of death than
all other causes combined. They are
always too much wrapped up, and in
any case would pcrsprc very freely.
The water lost by perspiration must
be supplied. AS Dr.. Murdoch stated
in his paper on "Cholcra lntantun." -"
"The child is thirsty, not hungry; but,
not getting the water, which it does
want, it drinks the milk, which it
docs not want" The consequence is
that the stomach is overloaded with
food which it cannot digest, and which
soon ferments and becomes q source
Of severe irritation. Then follow
vomiting, purging and cholera i'll
fantum.
The remedy for the evil is thus
given:
Have watcr-without ice-always
accessible to the child, who will then
refuse sour milk and will cat only
when hungry. Water is tho great IN
dispensablc article. for the preventive
treatment Of children in hot weather.
1t is important enough to nursing
children, but is life itself to those rear
cd on the bottle. The result of it's
judicious use is that they will then
take milk only when it is sweet and
will drink it only in such quantities
as they will be able to digest. =
A child who drinks. often of water is
much less likely to get ovcrhcated than
one who is deprived Of it. A child
must be watched, Of course. AS q
rule, its instinct is its best guide. 1t
is only In the grown-up child that tho
animal instincts become vitiatcd and
unreliable. You may stato with en-
tire confidence that tie free giving of
water is, In majority Of cases, q
potent preventive against tho terrible
scourge Of cholera intantuln.
These may be timely hints for MARY
mothers, especially those who are
either ignorant Of some simple but
great truths or misguided by ideas that
have no basis in cold fact.
