Tariff Mad.

Having long ago begun together the at
tempt to run the Democratic campaign upon
the Imaginary ills Of blooming country. the
gallant HENRY WATrERsoN Of Kentucky has
also joined the effort Of the Hon. ROGER @.
Mills to rebuild tsrif-smashing temple
over the ruins OF silver coinage. How
UNNECESSARILY superior to Col. MILLs's is
Col. WArrERsoN's part In this new variation
OF an old movement can be observed in the
most remarkable contribution to economic
literature evolved during the present dec

This reminds us Of the case Of an able and
prosperous man who lived In Keene. New
Hampshire. He was born and grew up
there. Throughout his life he had steadily
made money. although his business trans
actions rarely extended beyond the limits
Of his county or State. But he was more
Industrious and shrewder than the aver
age Of men. and he grew rich. Foy this
or for some additional reason or other
he did not grow popular. One dry q
group Of villagers were complaining Of
the injustice OF his being 30 much
better of than they. One Of them said that
there ought to be distribution Of wealth.

at which all would come in for an equal
share. "Nl right" said the gruf and
wealthy citizen. but what good would 1t
do your should have all the money back
again in ten years." It was allowed that
the citizen Of Ksene was about right; but
neither his less fortunate neighbors nor he
himself. 80 far as we know. ascribed this
irresistible current Of money to tho tariff.
At the time OF this conversation In Keene.
however, Col. WATTERsoN had not written
his North American ReuieU article on the

bounty Of thirty cents ton for every
one thousand miles sailed or steamed
In Voyages Of foreign trade. This APP
piled to all voyages Of from seventy
miles IN to seven thousand, and to
all vessels, steam or sailing. OF over
five hundred tons. The bounty period was
fixod at ten years. with an extension OF nine
years thereafter. under slightly reduced
rates. The Commissioner Of Navigation es-
timated at the time that the probable Gov
eminent expenditure In bounties under this
legislation would be from $S,0o0.0o0 TO
$3,5oO.O0O for the first year. increasing In
five or elk years to perhaps 100000 or
$4,000 900 annually.
Both bills. as we have said. passed the
Senate: but in the House. during the last
days OF the second session. the tonnage
bounty project was defeated by q very mar
row margin. and the Postal Subsidy bill
alone became law. The actual legislation.
therefore. for the promotion Of Amer
lean commerce. benefits the Amer-
can ocean steamship lines alone. The
shipbuilders and shipowners Of New Eng
land have their battle to fight over again.
Tho meeting called In Bath for next We'd
nesdsy. and the proposed memorial with
Ave million signatures. are the first steps
In renewed effort on the part Of the League
in behalf Of the builder and the owner Of the
American sailing ship.
The Shipping League has membership
OF moro than ono hundred thousand citi-
zens, Republicans and Democrats. Two
years ago It was fully agreed upon the
merits Of the measure which 1t nearly sue
ceeded In carrying through In the Fifty-first
Congress-. It will be interesting to see
whether the meeting at Bath will change
or modify In any respect the old proposition
of thirty-cent bounty for every thousand
miles sailed. At one time during the last Con-
gress the bounty measure was very near
passage by the HousS. with amendments
reducing the bounty to twenty cents. and
restricting the benefits to ships Of over one
thousand tons. instead Of over five hundred
tons. as originally proposed. 81.
In 1855 our foreign trade was $500 .00o. 900.
and seventy-five per cent. Of II vas carried
In American bottoms. We suppose that II
the efficiency Of the tonnage bounty plan
could be demonstrated to q mathematical
certainty. not single voice would be raised
against 1t in Congress or elsewhere. Five
millions or ten millions q year would
be small price to pay for the
restoration Of this country to its former
standing as q maritime nation. Will the
tonnage bounty do itp The problem Is par
ticulariy interesting and important at this
time whom there is soon to begin tremen-
dous movement Of American grain to the
markets Of the Old World. The wooden ship
Is better than the iron ship to carry wheat
or corn. because 1t keeps the cargo dryer. The
wonderful harvests Of the year would
furnish employment to vast feet Of shen-
andoahs and Susquehannss. II they, were
ready at hand to share In the coming era Of
national prosperity.
American wheat should be carried to the
European markets In American ships. built
In American yards. This country should
deliver under its own flag the goods 1t has
to sell to the world.

Registering and Voting.

Next months election will be the second
hold under the amended electoral law
which went into effect on July 1, 1890. 1t Is
substantially the same as n year ago. The
changes effected since then are not OF a
radical or important character. but they do
sway with many Of the Inconvenience then
found, and restrict the number Of tickets
within reasonable limits. Instead OF a
dozerf differ ent ballots, rs was the case
. year ago. there will not. In all
probability, be more than four this year.
and thus tho conflict and confusion
Of multiplicity OF outside tickets will
be avoided. This will enable each cleo
tor to mako his own selection Of party
or candidates expeditiously and satisfacto-
rily.- He need not remain. as the law
Last year ordained. three minutes In
booth for the purpose. and no will not be
obliged to fold. In specified and vexatious
way. eleven or more tickets which he does
not desire to vote, rs condition Of casting
the one ballot which he does favor.
Another salutary and wholesome measure
Of Improvement In the voting law Is what
h known as section II Of the amended act.
It provides that the name Of no person
regularly nominated by q party organiza-
ton shall be placed upon ticket put In
nomination by certiflcate-that Is. an indie
pendent ticket" when such person shall
lave given notice. at least fifteen days bc-
fore election. to the officer with whom his
original certificate Of nomination was
filed. by o writing signed and duly
acknowledged. that no does not wish his
name placed upon the ticket" In other
words. while the right ofindependent parties
to put up in nomination whomsoever they
please to represent them before the voters
is In no respect impaired. they are deprived
Of the opportunity to make up tickets Of q
fraudulent or misleading character. a right
which was abused year ago. and which.
moro than any other feature Of the law.
sdded to the confusion Of voting.
The sweeping away Of many complexities
and annoyances from the voting law. and
the greater ease which familiarity with It's
provisions secures. should result In q
larger total vote than year ago. Next
Tuesday. Oct. 6. is the first day Of registry
in this city. and there ought to be large
attendance Of Democrats. as an earnest Of
the intention Of the local Democracy to roll
up this year. on the basis Of a very big vote.
0 splendid and substantial majority.
A large registry on Tuesday next could
not fall to inspire Democrats in other parts
Of the State to more vigorous and united
efforts. while small registry. on the other
hand. might be open to misconstruction.

Another Orphio Uttersnoe.


Mr.. GRovxB CLEVELAND Of Cape Cod has
written q letter to A. B. FARQuHAR. Esq.
Of York. Pa. In answer to o Communication
from that gentleman in relation to ballot
reform In his Commonwealth. 30,
This letter contains the following TO
mArkable sentence: '#
I'm my Boston speech sadsavorsd 70 announce that
government BY the people and in their intsrssts a
against tremendous sgsrssstions Of favored Chased
seeking control for thsir exclusive benent depended
Largely upon the adoption Of the secret ballot" :.
Observe tho modesty Of this statement.
The speaker did not try to show the ne
oessity Of the secret ballot. or attempt to
prove that 1T was essential. In his Boston
speech. but he endesvored to announce
the fact to waiting and wonder-stricken
world. He Is one, Of those persons who be-
lieve that their discoveries are az new to
every one else as they are to themselves. so
that when they talk about them they are
telling people something never heard before.
But what are the TREMENDOUS aggrega-
lions OF favored classes" OF which Mr.. CLEvK-
LAND speaks The expression Is very
curious one. Does he mean rich men2 II
he does. why not say 80 ? In q certain sense
they may be called favored either by cir
cumstances or ability or by what people call
good fortune. chance. or luck: but they are
not favored classes under the law. 80 far aa
we know. in any State Of the Union. Nor
are there enough wealthy men in the
country to constitute tremendous aggre-
gations:" 80 that this term is senseless I'M
less by aggregstions Mr.. CLEVELAND meant
the accumulated riches Of the wealthy.
Seeking for sense In q sentence such as
this hasn't even the possibility Of success
always attending the search for the needle
In the haystack. II. however. the idea in
tended to be conveyed by Mr.. CLEVELAND
is that the Australian ballot Is essential to
the maintenance Of free government
against corrupt influences exerted by
wealthy and INSCRIPTIONS men. we deny
the correctness OF the proposition.
Men cannot be made honest by law. Free
government can only be maintained and
free institutions perpetuated by honesty and
intelligence on the part OF those who ex-
ercise the right Of suffrage. II any large
number of the voters In this country are
corrupt. they will find q way to sell their
votes under the new system Of voting as
much as under the old. The common as
sumption that voter could not conceal how
he voted under the old method just as we'll as
he can under the Australian method. In
volving the use Of tho blanket ballot. Is
absurd. Under the election laws which
prevailed In this State before the passage
OF the SAxToN bill the voter could keep his
vote absolutely secret II he chose so to do.
There seems to be sort Of charm for
some minds about every new-fangled notion
that is labelled reform. Yet the method Of
capital punishment under which Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND hanged two criminals and the method
OF voting under which he was elected Gov
ernor Of the State Of New York and Presi-
dent OF the United States are far better in
our judgment than the systems which have
superseded them.

The Bateman Matter Again.

The Bateman matter it seems has been re-
yived. 1t was stated last nigh / that Govern
OF Tilman had issued instructions TO the az
torney general to enter suit against W. G'
Bateman, the eX-treasurer OF the penltehtia'
ny, for the recovery of the alleged shortage IN
his accounts.-Columbia State.
If we are not out of order, may we not ask
Governor Tilman TO order an investigation
into the facts as to whether any of the Coun'
ty Treasurers except Abbeville, ever account
ed for the bills of the bank Of the state
which were rendered by the c. Il 6. railroad
and other tax X.payers for taxes several years
ago Did the Treasurers Of Oconec. Anderson,
and Newberry ever make
formal settlement for such bills-if such bills
were ever rendered to them, or either OF
them? We of course know nothing Of this
matter, but we asked the preceding admins
tra,ion several times about this very mat
ter.
II Mr.. Bateman is to be pushed TO the wall,
why not, let us know how 1t Is with the Coun-
ty Treasurers Treat all alike, Governor.
