Economy, But Not ParsiInCny.

The Newberrv News and Herald
favors a great reduction Of the tax rate,
and so does every tax payer in South
Carolina, but it must not be thought
lesslv or recklessly done. \ tax rate
sufficiently large to meet the honest
obligations of Tprudent and econolnl-
cal administration of the State govern
ment, is all the burden that the General
Assembly can lawfully levy upon the
property of the State, and its members
should properly observe their solemn
oathS to obey the Constitution. No
risk, however, must be run by the law
makers, but there must be the exercise
of abundant caution and business sa-
gacity and wisdom. The fair name
and untarnished credit of the State, at
home and aboad, must not be impaired,
nor even put in jeopardy. The Demo-
cratic party is pledged to low salaries
and economy in the administration OF
the government in this State. This
was the plea on which we wrested the
government from the hands OF the
spoilers in 1876, and our legislators
must keep sacred the honest promises
of the party, and take care that moth
ing is done to hazard its success at the
polls two years hence. Nothing would
please the sore-heads more than to see
sweeping increase of official salaries,
and general disregard OF pledges here
tofore made. The present tax levy
would not be considered high, if our
people generally were in a prosperous
condition, but when people are in debt
as nine-tenths of our farmers are, and
with their produce selling ut Il figure
that is almost below the cost of produc-
ton. every cent that is added to their
outgo in the way of taxes or other rX-
tyancous expenses, becomes burden
some and hard to bear. Most OF the
Of the Legislature are mcn IN
easy circumstances, and, OF course, ma
no difficulty in paying their taxes, and
they are apt to think that ali Of the people
are like them, us We arc prone to Judge
other people by our own surroundings.
But this is not the case, Us many OF our
are in debt from year to year.
They have no surplus out Of which to
pay their taxes, but these expenses are
met by them by leaving some other just
debt unpaid. This is dark picture,
but we believe it is true, and we are
satisfied that if the members of the
Legislature will just think it over
calmly and soberly that they will be
fully impressed with the necessity of
ruducing the expenses of the govern
ment to the very lowest possible figure.
We believe in economy, but not parsl-

for meeting, and to request that dele

to say that if any clubs failed to elect
delegates let them meet and elect their
representatives at once. l would also
most earnestly request the farmers
throughout the entire county to form
clubs where they have not hitherto
done so, and send on their delegates.
The officers of this Association are a.X-
pected to do I'LL in their power to I'M

provement of the farmers of oilr county,

Union, s. g., to address us ut our next
meeting. He has consented to do SO.
Col. Duncan is well known to many OF
YOU as the ocllicient and SucceSS1u III
President of the State Agricultural and
Mechanical Society. He has been Il
farmer all his life. He is young, ener-
gctic and active; the prrsonilication Of

give him full house.

ter to that distinguished gentleman,
Gen. johnson IIagood. and urged him
to come over and give us a talk. lie
SAYS he will he pleased to do SO if he
can arrange some other appointments
to suit: that it will afford him two
fold pleasure to do so. as he could ad-
wise with his brother farmers and ut the
same time meet many old friends and
comrades. Gen. IIagood is known and
honorcd throughout the land. He

Good Advice.

The level headed Anderson Journal
gives some good practical advice to the
farmers and other people about going
into debt. 1t says that the year that is
before us promises to be a very hard
one financially, and it behoOves all our
people to look well to their cxpendi-
lures. The crops OF the past season
have been very small, and hard times
are almost sure to enSue. At once 4
resolution should be made by every one
to 'cut off every expense that it is
practicable to cut off. Now is the
time. more than ever before, to live
withins ones means. Those who, at
the beginning of the present year, in
CURED indebtedness, now regret it.
Many farmers, we are told, will not be
able to do much more than pay for
their guano with their cotton product.
This will prove very embarrassing, and
should he lesson to every man not to
20 in debt again, unless it is for some
thing needed to preserve life. No one
can see into the future, and the year
that is before us may prove as bad a
one for growing crops of cotton, corn,
wheat, oats, etc., as has the one that is
Immediately behind us. Let every one
do his best to keep clear of debt. If it
takes all the cotton you grow to pay
for the guano used in raising it, stop
buying guano and depend solely on
homemade manurcs. There is no
sense in working solely for the benefit
of others. Credit is the highest COM
modify that is now in the market, and
those who use it much will in all prob
ability he made to regret 1t. Those
who retrench all expenditures under
their control, and will henceforth go
slow, will lessen the number of causes
for self-rcproach for the next twelve

time with Benton Of Missouri and for
similar causes, applied to the President
for reinstatement, claiming that his
offending had been no greater than
that of Benton and that he (Stonc) WAS
entitled to like treatment with Benton.
President Cleveland declines to REIN

cases are not parallel. and that the
mitigating circumstances in Benton'S 5
case do not exist us to stone. The
President accepts Stones statement
that his campaign speeches were few

did not interfere with his official duties,
and that lis duties have lcen faithful

NOTHING in current literature can be
more interesting than ex-Minister Wash
burne's article on the downfall of the
French Empire-which is to appear in
the first number of Scribner's Magazine.
to be published ON December 10Th next.
When it is remembered that Mr.. Wash
burne was the only minister of any leading
nation who had the courage to remain in
Paris during the Siege and the Commune
and while the Republic was being estab-
lished, it may be well imagined that the
story he has to tell of the experience is
of remarkable historic value. Mr..
Washburne has told his story simply,
with charming naiuete, conciseIy; and
nothing in periodical literature will at
tract greater attention, or appeal to a
larger number of readers, than the
papers the ex-Minister to France has
contributed TO the opening numbers OF
Scribner's Magazine.
