Orphanage is worthy object, and If the
men of South Carolina who, according to
their profession, are under obligation to
give to this institution, instead Of spend
ing their money for whiskey, would give
it to the Orphanage, why, in one months
time it would have princely endowment.
We have known men WHO would refuse to
contribute to this same object that would

to drinking men, as much or more than

comes into direct and huptful competition

comes into direct and huptfui competition
with the fine cotton grown in South Car
olina and other Southern States. We arc
utterly opposed to the doctrine of Protec-
ton. but so long as tho tobacco growers
of Connecticut receive the benefit of a
duty of S7.65 pound on the products of
their fields, which the farmers of tho
South pay in part, it is only fair that the
growers of fine cotton in the South should
receive like benefit from the tariff laws.
IF Protection is good thing for the to-
bacco growers in Connecticut, Protection
ought to be good thing for the cotton
growers in South Carolina.
Representative Elliott desires, as far as
possible to remove the inequalities OF the
tariff system, and to make the Southern
planters share in equal degree the benefits
which the tobacco growers enjoy under
Ghe Mckinley Act. We have sought in
vain to obtain from our esteemed con-
temporaries, the Philadelphia Press, Boston
Journal of Commerce, and the New York
Drv Goods Economist, an expression of their
views in regard to placing heavy duty
ON imported fine cottons. The silence
which they continue to preserve is almost
painful, but it appears to be silence
which cannot be broken. The New York
Press, one of the principal organs of The
Protectionists, says very frankly THAT
whenever it is shown to be to the interest
Of the American people that fine cotton
should be protected, Republicans will be
found voting for duty on the imported
and competing article"
We haye no doubt tnat Representative
Elliott, who has been investigating the
subject, will be in position to convince
cur contemporary of the justice of taxing
Egyptian cotton, and we shall expect the
RepublicanIcontingent in the next House
ID vote for the Elliott Bill.
The duty on Egyptian cotton, like the
duty OIL Sumatra tobacco, should be made
prohibitory. This will work hardship,
we know, upon the manufacturers OF fine
cotton goods in the New England States,
but it will be truly Republican, and, of
course, the Republican members of Con-
gress will vote for it.

ALoGICAL ARGUMENT.

"a Farmer" of Equality, 8. c., who
evidently reads the National Economist,
scores good point against DIR. Macune,
editor of that paper, in this weeks Aduo-
cate, and rasps him severely. Like all
good Democrats, ga Farmer" keenly
appreciates that the tariff question is the
momentous subject before the American
people to-day, before which all others
fade into comparative insignifcance.
How, then, can DR.. Macune be good
Alliancernan and yet speak disparagingly
of this, tie strongest and most important
plank in the Ocala platform, and seek to
smother discussion of it by declaring
"there is nothing in the tariff question:"
and terming it "breeder of sectional
strife ?" What sensible man does not
know that the tariff bill now in operation
is the most iniquitous burden resting
upon every taxpayer, except the pro-
tected Northern manufacturers Who
does not know that the abolition of this
Republican enormity would etford great
er relief to the farmers, and everybody,
than the enforcement Of any other of the
Ocala demands? Wequote the following
from ga Farmers letter, and commend
it to the unprejudiced consideration Of
every reader as a sound and logical argu
ment:
1Protection protects less than one
million out of nineteen millions ut our
industrial population and taxes all the
nineteen millions; yet the National Eoo1s- n,
onoia says: 'There is nothing in the tariff
question: that it is "a breeder of section
al strife and that 'the agitation OF this
question is an effort on the part OF the
Democratic party to Salyanize an ola
ghost of sectional hatred In the last ls-
sue. October 20, its editor saysthe discus
sion Of the tariff is 'hoary conundrum,
and we find published in its columns
snch articles as these: tThe misleading
tariff ISSUE the tariff question is hoax
all of which lead Us to believe that DR..
Macune is either protectionist or in ia
yor of third party or both, and that he
is using his influence as editor OF the
official organ OF the National Alliance to
divert the minds of farmers from the tar
iff question, and commit them to class
legislation, the very thing the protective
batops of the East most want. Now,
what right has DR.. Macune to say any
thing against any Of the Ocala demands? ?
Is not a reduction of the tariff one Of these
demands? Certainly. Then, can we fol-
low his leadership and ignore this de-
mand. and still remain Democrats when
we know that this question is the leading
issue with the Democratic party? We
think not. We know not. Of all classes
of our people the agricultural class should
be more interested in tariff reform tnan
anv other. Whys Simply because the
a merican farmer paws the burden OF tax
levied for protection-that is for the pecu-
mary benefit of the American manufac-
turer. 1t is tax of which the farmer in
particular gets no manner of good," etc.

A Plea for the Fair.

Tb the Editor of the News and Courier: The
farmers in this section Of our country are
very much depressed in spirits, owing to
the short crop and the low price OF cotton,
but I am glad that this is only local, for
in other portions Of the county there
seems to be more life, as there has al
ready been two very creditable fairs IN
the county, and another is to come OH
this week. This certainly Indicates pros
perity, and shows that the people are
turning their attention to other branches
of the farm as we'll as the cotton. Ihey
are tired of "patting all their eggs into
one basket" l have always advocated
diversified farming, and I hopo to live to
at home. This will surely prove profita,,
bic if iudiciously managed. They should
grow more grain, potatoes, pindars. sor-
ghum, and last, but by no means least,
more grass.
have been ri(liculed and abused near
ly all of my life for advocating bermuda
grass. but our people are getting their
ewes open to the great value OF this grass,
both for grazing and hay, and l hope to
see il still growing in the estimation OF
our farmers. for have no idea that it has
an equal on the face of the earth. 1t is
true when well set it is hard to eradicate,
but why would you want to get clear OF
so good friend it comes TO stay and let
it stay, but it can be conquered by care
and energy.
lam rejoiced to learn Of the fine pros
poets of our State Fair. That Is to the
State what the local fairs are to communl-
ties. They bring the people together, to
know each other and to discuss all the
various things that 60 to make farmers

fitted and educated far more than the val
ue of the small appropriation made by the
Legislature, which is the only way the
State has given money, for the direct ben

Earmers' Legislature refused to continue
what even q Radical Legislature did not

see the Governor of the State giving the
cherished institutions tho cold shoulder,
while he is using his influence and the
property of the State to help build up
what is whether intended or not) for
midable rival of our Fair. Even If every
member of the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical Society was personal enemy OF
Governor Tillman he ought, as the Gov
ernor of great State, to he above doing
such a thing, because opposition to THIS
society is opposition to the best interest
of the State, for tho membership of this
society are among the best mon the State
affords and during my long connection
with the society i have never known a
member prescribed because of his poll
tics. We have no politics in it, but all of
the work is done in the interest OF the
people of the State. and it is my actual
desire that this Society may outlive all of
the preudIcca Of it's enemies, and the
best wishes of its friends.
