Protection BY the Tariff am Other
Laws.
BY CHARLES CARTER, N. D.

give a hearing on this sub
ject is accepted by me, not
bccause | lay claim to any
more knowledge Or better un
derstanding of it than my
fellow citizens; but simply to
briefly state a few facts that
have come to me from obser-
vatioa,sreading and convers-
ing with my friendsand neigh
.bors Of all shades ofopinions
and views. The statements
and conclusions presented are
my own, for which | alone
am responsible. If in any way
they serve to elicit truth, Or
a better understanding of this
highly important subject, !
will be satisfied.
To my mind, Protection
is simply and solely that
which gives and guarantees
to each and every individual
the just fruits of toll whether
such toll or labor be of the
hand or brain. This country
is very far in advance of any
other within my knowledge
in the enactment of laws to
to secure to persons the re-
suits of toll and labor. There
are three kinds Of protection
Which our la VS. foster, which
comes to my mind just at
present, that l would men,
thion:-The Patent Laws, Civ
ing protection to the citizen
for II years for any useful
and valuable invention. The
rewards to inventors have
been very great and our coun
try vastly benefited and ad.
vanced by these laws. Then
there are the Copyright Laws
protecting for many years
the authors OF books. et;.
Writer'S of books and publish
ers have reaped a large COM
pensation by brain work and
taking advantage of the laws.
Whoever writes a good book
which it is believed will COM
man9 a large sale, at once Sc
cures protection by a copys
right. In fact our most pop
ular writer's on free trade who
bring forward every possible
argument against protection
have taken advantage Of the
doctrine and practice they as
sail and condemn, to tile ex-
tent OF securing a copyright
and therefore protection on
their writing. As many OF
those works like Henry
Georges have had an increas
ed sale and a goodly fortune
have accrued to the free trade
writer's, Thirdly, we have
the tariff act; the so-called
Mckinley Bill. This benifi-
cent law more fully than the
Others accords to our people
the right to obtain the high
est compensation and advan-
tages possible for all orr pro
ductions De it Of the soil or
the labor of our hands or
brains.
The tariff acts in the past
probably have done more
than anything else TO make
.usa self-supporting and a
strong people and govern
mpnt. But to enter upon o.
ven a limited consideration
of this great subject we are
eomnplled to apply to other
sections Of sour country Tor
facts to show the great t,ene-

disposed of for this session but little work

of settlement is also being reached on
such items of the appropriation bills as
are i'll dispute between the two Houses.
An adjustment has been reached on the
naval, diplomatic, consular, and legisIa
tive bills. The House receded from all
of its objections to the Senate amend
ments to the naval bill, and battleship,
torpedo boats and number of small
guuboats are provided for. The other
bills were agreed upon by mutual con.
cessions. Considerable time was taken
up in the Senate this week in discussing
the Worlds Fair bill. The Senate added
an amendment forbidding the opening OF
the Fair on Sundays, but voted dow the
anti-liquor amendment. A number of
new financial bills have been introduced
in both Houses, but they will not come
70 vote this session. Among important
bills introduced are the following: Rep
resentative Scott, of Illinois, introduced
bill prohibiting inter State transporta-
ton of Pinkertons. Senator Sherman
introduced bill repeating that part OF
the present silver act which provides for
monthly purchases of bullion, to take

on contingent expenses reported a COM
prehensive resolution providing for the
investigation by a special Senate COM
mittee of the Homestead troubles and
the organization and employment Of
Pinkertons. Mr.. PETER offered bill in
the Senate to stop the coming of gold
The expectation is that the first session
Of the Fifty-first Congress will end next
Saturday or the following Monday. Not
much is likely to be done in the feverisl'
naste of this, the last week, beyond the
passage of the appropriation bills-tht
sundry civil, and Notifications and the
general deficiency bills. The friends OF
the local option bill claim to have enough
-otes to pass it through the Senate.

Free Coinage Buried

The free coinage bill was practically
buried for the present session of Congress-

the House on a motion to set aside a
day for the consideration of the bill, de-
5ate to be closed at a certain hour and a
vote taken. This motion was defeated

Of the calendar, where it is hopelessly
butied for the session.

WANTS TO BuRYTHEHArcHEr

TO the democratic voters of Chcs-
terfeld County.
The State Primary election has
come and gone and all questions as
to State officers have been settled
fairly and peaceably SO far Us our in
formation goes, contrary to my
wishes and Judgment the March con-
vention was called and u ticket sur-
gested and without my knowledge |
was placed on the campaign com
mlttee OF the State for this county,
while would have greatly preferred
not to have assumed that RESPONSE
bility, / did so Mt the request of as
patriotic citizens as South Carolina
affords and have attempted to dis
charge the duties imposed upon me
as fairly as possible and has been, as
was said in the Advertiser some time
since, my wish to elect Sheppard dele
gates, and have nothing to do with
local county fights and in all nv
public utterances | have endeavored
to avoid local politics. The people
have spoken decidedly in favor of the
present administration and it is for
tunate that there was a decisive ma
Jority one way or the other in order
to avail better contests Therebcinc
no longer any question Of the choice
OF the white people for Governor it is
the duty ofall to oco-orporate heartily
in bringing about the election Of the
ticket for State officers and Presi-
dential electors which will be nomi-
mated Mt the coming State Conven-
tion as well as the election of the
candidates nominated for county
judicial and congressional offices.
l write therefore on behalf of the
Conservative faction to pledge our
cooperation to consummate that
end and assure those of the Opposite
faction that so far as | am able to
exert any influence our differences for
this campaign shall remain buried
in the ballot box where they were de-
posted on August 3Oth and the
ticket as nominated shall receive our
support regardless of those differences
The pledges of the March Convention
to abide by the result of this primary
so far as | am able to bring it about
shall be scrupulously observed. And
let me conclude by hoping that the
time for peace and harmony has ar
rived. w. +. Stevenson.
