FREE SHIPS.

The Republican party is justly charge
able with having destroyed the commerce.
bearing trade of the United States, for
during its ascendancy the policy of pro.
lection pursued by the government has
prohibited the purchase of foreigu-built
ships by our citizens in consequence of
the exhorbitant tariff placed upon them.
This tariff is imposed to induce Ameri-
cans to establish ship building as an in
dustry, and supply the capitalists who
wish to invest in ships with an article of
home build, which is very patriotic in
sound, but in practice has driven the
carrying trade of the United States into
foreign hands, thereby giving to them
the immense profits to be derived
from such an extensive business. To
illustrate the practical effect, let us take
a ship worth 100000 in Liverpool.
Now, this ship, it is claimed, cannot be
built in America SO cheaply, but in order
to encourage its construction at home the
government imposes protection tax or
tariff of so per cent, which would re-
quire any citizen Of the United States to
pay in addition to the 100000 in Liver
pool the sum of $4,000 to the United
States, or virtually Sl50,000 for the same
ship which citizen of Great Britain, or
other country, can buy for 100000.
This ship, when owned by foreigner,
can come to our ports regularly, bring
ing freights to and carrying them away
from this country without paying any
impost or tariff, which gives to the for
eigner the advantage Of our own citizens;
and this advantage is so great that it
amounts to monopoly, as the foreign
capitalist can procure his line of ships
at from 25 to 335 per cent. less than our
own citizen, and Of course he can afford
to carry treights cheaper, because the
expenses for running would be the same
and smaller sum would be required to
pay him given interest than to pay the
American the same interest on their re-
spective capital invested in the ships.
This policy is suicidal. 1t amounts to
the government saying, Because we can
not build ships to compete in price with
European builders, our citizens shall not
buy their ships upon such terms as to
enable us TO compete with them in carry
ing freights. It is false economy, and a
burden to the industries of our country
instead of benefit. The people should
understand the imposition and demand
its removal.

sroLBRAND VS.. AIKEN.

Gen. Carlos J. Stolbrand. an excentrie
remnant of the Republican party in
South Carolina, who imagines that he
was elected to Congress from this Dis
trict last November by the majority o.
a little over ten thousand, with the
minus sign before it, which vas cast
against him, came to Anderson last Fri
day evening with his party, consisting Of
Mr.. Commissioner Stoeber to act as
Judge and the somewhat celebrated Col
John F. Hobbs, who the Abbeville Press
and Banner informs us is of North
America, to act as his counsel in the
case of Stolbraud vs.. Aiken in the con-
test for the Congressional seat from the
Third South Carolina District.
The party waited until Saturday after
noon for witnesses, and then repaired to
the Court House, where E. B. Murray,
Esq, appeared for Col. E. B. Gary, the
attorney for Col. Aiken. VIM. Clements
Peter Acker and Col. John R. Cochran
we're examined as witnesses, after an ex-
plicit statement of Gen. Stolbrand and
Commissioner Stoeber, in reply to q
question of Mr.. Cochran that their OBJ.
ject *as simply to obtain testimony in
the contest for the seat in Congress and
not for the purpose Of indicting any
person.
The first two witnesses testified as to
the difficulty at Beltou, but showed that
it did not grow out of politics, and that
q Republican could hare voted there a.
safely and easily as Democrat. Peter
.Acker said he voted for Mr.. Arthur for
Congress-. VIM. Clements also testified
that there was a fight between Demo
Gratis at Honea Path, which frightened
him of. He admitted, however, that
several colored men voted at Honea
Path without being hurt, and that no
one offered to trouble him while there.
Mr.. Cochran testified that there were
in all ninety. four votes in excess of the
poll list in the box at Anderson c. H.,
and that he thought twen:y-six or eight
of this number were drawn out from the
Democratic tickets, and the remainder
from the Republican. He did not know
this, but thought it vas about correct.
The drawing was done according to law.
He was not about the poll much, and
could not say who put the extra votes in.
The town authorities preserved order,
and secured the right to vote freely to all.
There we're several small disturbances,
but they were promptly checked.
This ended the testimony, with the
promise on the part Of Gen. Stolbrand
that, although he was obliged to tear
himself away from US, he would return
again soon. The testimony taken will
not damage Col. Aiken's cause.

that three credible gentlemen had told

declared killing in duel murder without

Dr.. Boz bsugh, in his work entitled
"GieanlDgs for the Cur ous," gives a der
ivation OF the word as follows:
Among the many issues of base coin
which from time to time were made in
Ireland, there was none to be compared to
that made by James II. at the Dublin
Mint 1t was composed of anything on
which he could lay his hands, such as lead,
pewter, copper and brass, and SO low was
its Intrinsic value that twenty shillings of
1t was only worth twopence sterling. Will
lam Ill, few days after the battle of Ii e
Bovn', ordered that the crown>piece and
half crown should be taken as one penny
and one-half penny respectfully. The soft
mlxex metal of which that worthless coin
was composed was known among The Irish
as, Uim-b bog, pronounced Ooln>bug. i. g.
soft copper, i. e., worthless money, and in
course of their dealings the modern use of
the word humDug took It's rise, as in the
phrase, That's a piece of uimbog,"
Don't think to pass off your uimbog on
me-" Hence the word humbug came to
be applied to anything that had a specie US
appearance, but which was in reality
spurious 1t is curious to note that the very
opposite of humbug-i e., false metal
is the word sterling, which is also taken
from term applied to the the true coinage
of Great Britain. as sterling coin, sterling
worth, etc. H.
