there being no appropriation for that

The Attorney General advised me
that such enumeration cannot under
existing laws be made in advance of
an appropriation by tie General

Tie Constitution imposes upon the
Governor the duty Of having this
enumeration made, and l recommend
that such sum be appropriated as

The House passed the bill making
the appropriation, but the Senate
refused to do so, and they alone are

failure. Senator Sligh voted at both
sessions for the enumeration. and is
therefore not che Of those responsible.

salaries Of certain officials. Econo-
my and reform is what we want, but
we do not think there should be re-
duction Of salaries. Our officers are
not paid too much. 1t is rot IN
keeping with the dignity Of q great
State to expect its servants to work
for nothing and the reduction Of sal
aries would not &mount to any great
thing. Cut off the unnecessary offices
and strike ont several items OF the
appropriation bill. and something
will be saved. Our taxpayers want
taxation reduced and they have been
watching things pretty closely and
they are going to vote Tor "men,

they secure the men they will get the

For the HERALD AND NEWS
The Tariff Question.

Much has been written and SAID ABOUT
the Tariff question, but with your KIND
permission, will add few words on
the subject.
Many of our prominent men, both in
this State and at large, are in favor OF a
Tariff for revenue only; this is all very
right and proper, but there are still
others who are advocating Free Trade.
Now this doctrine of Free Trade, I main
tain. is ruinous and pernicious idea,
and if ever carried into effect, would al
most irretrievably damage the manufac-
turing and commercial interests OF the
country, and especially would it hurt
the South, which is just now beginning
to advance in wealth and prosperity.
BY taking off the duty on goods az
irving here from foreign countries we
would necessarily open the door for COM
petition in prices from all parts OF the
world. and consequently the price OF
our own goods would fall so low that
what we got for them would lot pay the
cost of manufacturing them.
The expenses of the government have
to be met, and if the duty on foreign
goods is abolished, how else is the nc
cessary revenue to be raised otherwise
than by levying ruinous property and
income taxes on the people who are al
ready groaning under the burden OF
heavy taxation? If Free Trade were the
order OF the day, and our ports were
thrown open to all comers, think, for
instance, of our own native product,
rice: this article would become drag in
the market, as India, which produces it
very extensively, would send all she
made here, and prices would be put
down so low that in a short time all OF
our rice planters would be driven ont OF
the business.
No, if our statesmen must thinker
with the Tariff let their motto be a
ssTariff for Revenue with incidental pro-
lection to home industries" and thus
Law the foundation for the future welfare
and prosperity OF our country and OF
our beloved old State, South Carolina.

Correct Speaking.

Some years ago, Prof. Whitney OF
Yale College published all elemen-
tary work on English grammar, III
which he claimed tina. the nursery IS
the proper place to teach a child to
speak correctly. In the summer OF
1880, we remember to have spent q
month in Walhalla. At the hotel
where we were stopping, there we're
about fifty small children, whose
parents were from Charleston. We
found nothing more entertaining
than listening to the prattle Of these
children. Every word was spoken
with distinctness, and very rarely did
we hear q mistake in grammar. They
would put men and women to shame.
Now, why was this? Simply because
these boys and girls had been taught
in the nursery to speak correctly.
A few days before leaving Wal
halla, gentleman and his little son
five years of age, from Boston, regis
tered at our ho ell. The next morn
ing we concluded to make the effort
to talk with the little boy, to see how
far Prof. Whitney's theory had been
tried on him. We found the little
fellow exceedingly entertaining.
Give him tie voice Of man and
consider only his language, and you
must have decided, could you not see
him, that you were in conversation
with an educated gentleman. We
we're simply astonished, but were con-
frmed in our opinion as to the correct
ness of Prof. Whltney's views.
Correct speaking is a habit. Let
boy never hear words incorrectly
combined and he will never be guilty
of the absu.:l solecisms one so often
hears. Let one whose habit ofspecch
is grossly incorrect make the en-
deavor to improve his language; and
though lie may become grammarian
of the most extensive attainmentS.
these errors of an earlier practice
will annoy him. in a manner almost
bevoad his ability to coutrol.
Now, if teachers would improve the
language of their pupils and get them
into the habit OF speaking correctly
they must organize a sort of nursery
in which the pupils must, in sense
once more s.learn to talk What Is
the sense in learning rules when they
: are not applied? How can one hope
to apply the rules of grammar wher
the habit Of incorrcc speaking ha.
: such a complete mastery over hlmi
We think that the present plan o
teaching English grammar has utterly
, failed to large extent.
: The one we shall outline may b'
az defective as the present one, bu
we should like TO have it tried before
condemning it. In our issue o
next week or the week after we shal
, begin the explanation Of the proposed
! plan.
