Assisting Nature IL Little Bit.

When the resources of Nature have
become retarded, no matter from what
cause, it is then quite time to help the
sIsis.s.ef isssef and Spleen, anaasth anazs ar organs, 20
perform their thorough duty-Or we
Shall soon be quite i'll. In such cases
there is no more natural remedy than q
mild cathartic, one which will be sure
to perform its duty without injuring
the system in the least. Such, let us
say in all candor, is Simmons Hepatic
Compound 1t will gently move the
bowels, without irritating them in the
least; when the medicine works, the
bowels are soothed and healed like a
charm-yet the medicine is more effec-
tive than Calomel; one Of the principal
ingredients possess all the good qualities
of that poisonous drug, without any of
its constituents. A dose Of Simmons
Hepatic Compound every night on
going to led, will infallibly restore
health. Testimony of the highest con-
sideration from every portion OF the
country, and from all classes of people,
abunfantly substantiate this fact. The
Importance of this treatment cannot be
over-estimated, and it should be tried
by all means.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently proceeded by 4
sense OF weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some atfec-
tion Of the kidneys or neighboring Or
gans. At times, symptoms of indiges-
tion are present, tlatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture like
perspiration, producing a very dis
agreeable itching, after getting warm,
is a common attendant. Blind, Bleed
ing and Itching Piles yield at once to
the application Of DR.. Bosankos Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the
parts affected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and effect
ing Il permanent cure. Price 50 cents.

4 Healthy Growth.

TUNIIE SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF
L. the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Asso-
citation is marvellous i'll the annals of life
insurance enterprise. Its name has be-
come 4 tower of strength, and has been
we'll earned by the untiring devotion of
President Harper and his associates. Its
astonishing prosperity has provoked attacks
which are best repelled by frank and full
exhibit of its greatly increasing line of
business. Up to July i, 1855, this shows a
gain of 10 less than S13 Oh, $50 over that
of the corresponding period last year.
In June alone its mOrtuary receipts eX-
ceeded $3.50, 900, Of which over $50, 900 went
into the Reserve Fund-that triple buttresS
upon which the association justly prldeS
itself. This reserve now amounts to S425,-
600. and is employed for three purposes
onlv-to pay death claims, if any should
occur in excess of the American Experience
Mortality Tables; to make good any posS-
ible deficiency in the Death Fund Account,
and to be apportioned among those who
have been members of the Association tif-
teen years, etc. AS the first and second
CONTINGENCIES named are not likely to arise,
the third object is the one upon which the
fund is practically expended. 1t is full OF
other good points, among which may be
mentioned the economical salary Est--leSS
than $50, 900 for carrying Oh the whole work
of the vast instituton-and payments to
s,;ae,Ss=aad- orphans at the rate of over
cash day.-From the old and
conServ;tri71 AreT York Daily 4In,;s.scl Of
Commerce, July 10, 1885.
With the Annual Report Of the above
Company is attached a large number of
Death claims paid from February 1882 to
February 1st 1856, representing all parts OF
the Union, amounting to 81 ,GS5, zoe. 90 from,

The present tariff list embraces over
twenty-eight thousand different arti-
cles. The above list Of only eight
would be so simple that all could un-
derstand it, and it would raise the ne
cessary amount of revenue, including
the interest on the public debt, without
taking from the many for the few.
AL that I have to say in conclusion,
is, never vote for any man for the Fed
eral Congress, no matter what may be
the color of his skin, hair or eyes, no
matter what religious tenets he may
hold, nor what may be his principles
of moral suaSion, no matter what may
be the shade of his political opinions,
whether Democrat or Republican,
Greenbacker or Bluebacker, unless he
is strictly and unalterably, from top to
bottom, through the middle, and all
over, in favor Of reducing federal TAXA
tion, first, last and all the time.
And when we get Congress that
monopolists' money cannot buy, a Con-
gress that will give us tariff for reve-
nue. only, then will our waning indus
tries revive. We will no longer hear
of mills closing up, from overproduc-
ton. Blood shed for bread, will case; la
Dor riots will stop; thevOicc Of the tramp
will no longer he heard in the land.
Every class will receive new impetus.
The Summer brecZcs will sweep over
fields of rich products, and the Autumn
winds will bear inscribed OH their
wings the signs Of peace and prosperi-
ty, throughout this broad and fertile
land. Then will South Carolina bloom
and blossom us the rose, and then in
deed will be inaugurated the era of that
good time coming for the care worn,
and long weary cotton planters Of even
the little county of Orangeburg.

tWenty-elght thousand. .......-.
It may be inquired how is it propos-
ed to raise revenue for the government.
Before inQuiring how to raise the reve-
nue., it is pertinent to know how much
revenue is. required. In the humble
opinion of the writer the best plan
which has been offered yet is that OF
Prof. \. J. Eddy, which the writer Will
endeavor to reproduce here.
For the year 1882, the latest year TOR
which have any statistics, and which
NAV be considered an average year
perhaps, it cost to;run. the government
S25S 100000. For the same year the
total receipts were S4O3,OO2OOO or Sl4o,-
100000 more than was expended. !aHeS
therefore could have been reuuced
S145. 100000 and there would have Stlll
been enough left TO run the govern
ment. These are the receipts and their
sources.
Customs tariff :. ....... 22O,4lO,I5O

Direct tax. ;....,.......... 10y 1e9,14d ~
Public lands. 4,Io3, l4O
Miscellaneous receipts.... |O5,642
Total .$4O3, ,525, ,24S
OF this amount the tariff and inter
nal revenue produced by far the great
est amount. The high tariff people
propose to abolish the internal revenue.
They see that if the internal revenue
is abolished, it wipes out S146,OO0,OOO OF
revenue, or about the amount of excess
of revenue over expenditure. Abolish
the internal revenue and the taxes are
taken off whiskey and tobacco, the very
two articles that should be taxed the
most. Take S145,0O0,0OO, the amount
of the surplus, from $22O,OOO,OOO, q use
round fgures) the amount raised by
customs, and it leaves only S75,0o0,OOO
necessary to be raised by tariff to
meet all the expenditures of the gov
ernment. The question then is, not
how to raise S220,OO0,O0O by a tariff
that will not be protective, but how to
raise S75,OOO,OOO by Il tariff that will
not he protective.
On seven articles England collects
by tariff S75,00O,000 Of revenue, and not
one of the seven articles is produced in
England. The seven articles are, TO-
bacco, tea, wine, dried fruit, coffee,
chiccory, chocolate and cocoa. These
seven articles yield England 4 revenue
Of $50 100000 without protecting sim
gle individual or company.
Here is a table Of but eight different
articles in this country, that would
produce all the revenue we need from
tariff. The amount of revenue Is
based upon the consumption OF the
different articles in 'S2. y duty of 20
per cent is put on tea and coffee. The
duties on raw silks and jewels remain
the same. The duties on spirits and
wines are doubled, the duties on tobac-
co and manufactures Of tobacco are
doubled, the duties Oh sugar and mo-
lasses are reduced one-half, the duties
on silk and it's manufacturers are re-
duced one-half. This is the table:

pay for its outside purchases for three
months"
These references to money have been
made with view Of trying to disabuse
the minds of some persons that money
is not all in all, and that trade, free
trade, unrestricted trade, natural trade
is essential to prosperity, and prerequi-
site for obtaining money.
II men could. or would get it out Of
their minds, that the building up of one
industry at the expense of many others
was no gain to the many. If they
could, or would but realize, that there
was no gain in the aggregate, or JUS
tice in robbing thousand Peters to
pay one Paul, or that the taxing of Il
thousand individuals for the benefit of
one individual, was all wrong and con-
trary to the plaincst lessons of econo-
mics, then the protective tariff would
vanish as thin air. We are often re-
ferred to the prosperous condition of
this industry, or that, to this section Of
our country, or that, as instances Of
the benefits Of protection, while the
glaring fact is overlooked, that these
conditions are brought about at the eX-
pense Of many others.
" Free traders do not propose to do
away with the tariff altogether. AS
long Us the government exists, it is pro-
posed to raise revenue by tariff Of
some kind, but it is tie intention Of
the free traders to get rid of the pro-
tective tariff. They do not expect ab-
solute free trade, but they do want freer
trade in fact all the free trade they
can get, and are never afraid Of getting
too much. The more the better. Eng
land is called free trade country, but
England has not literally, absolute free
trade, but then she comes so near to it.,
about as near perhaps as it is practical,
or polite to come, that we might say,
virtually, she is free trade country.
England raises her revenue BY means
of IN excise tax, and tariff on only
seven different articles, not one OF
which is raised in England. The Uni
ted States leyies tariff on over twenty
eight thousand different articles and
has an excise tax besides. There is 4
