 LIIE3.
 MT. Aldrich, the Republican candidate, like all other Southern Republicans, is away and far behind the former great lead- CTS of his party on the subject of protec- tion. Every one knows that the Mckinley iniquity was the highest protective tariff measure ever enacted in America, and brought more ruin and shame to the coun- try and more poverty and Restitution to the people. He has never said that he does not favor the re-enactment of that law, but says he wants forty more like it if neces- sary.
 Let's see what some of his party leaders have sad concerning protection and when they said it.
 Some Republican orators, who know lit- fle and say much, undertake to bring re- proach to the honored name of Henry Clay by charging him with having been pro- tectionist. Fifty years ago Mir. Clay wrote as follows: s'In the origin of the protective policy it was never SUD- posed by me, or by others of its friends, as far as know their views, that it was to be permanent. We intended it to be tempo rary, so as to enable American manufac- turers to get through their infancy" MT. Clay favored @ temporary tariff rate of 20 per cent. Would he, the great tribune of the people that he was, today, if living, advocate extortionate taxation of the masses for the gid of half y-old in- fants?
 In 1857 Henry Wilson, elected Vice. President with President Grant in 1872. said in debate that the duties of the tariff of 1s46-cailed the free trade taSif-ought to be very much reduced. ''If our manu- factures are to~increase," said he, "we 1lef etee our raw materials admitted duty at Q mere nominal rate. We of kland believe that wool, especially wools, manilla, hemp, flax, lead, hides and many other articles manufactures can be admitted mere nominal duty.''

DEATH and destruction to the tin plate industries in America was predicted by Republicans as the necessary result of the new tariff law. The reverse has been the fact. There are numerous reports in the industrial journals and newspapers of the revival of old and the erection of new tin plate plants. In the meantime the price to consumers has fallen $1 per box. or about 20 per cent; and the infant industry sur- wives aud grows fat. "On with the dance, let jOy be uncopfined. -

RUSSIA las the name of being an isolated csantry and her people exclusive, yet hardly an important event has happened in recent years that she has not been im- plicated. She even took hand in the civil war in this country. Thus keeping in touch with all other countries it is no wonder that the sympathy of all nations goes out to her in this hour of trial. Her imperial family is soreIy stricken. "Un- easy lies the head that wears a crown' was never more applicable than to Alexan- der III. His constant fear was that he would be assassinated by the Nihilists, as was his father. Although Alexander III never performed any one great act, such as the liberation of 20, ,0OO, ,O00 serfs by his father, yet he has proved wise and strong ruler in some respects. The one stain upon his escutcheon is his banishment of the Jews from his dominions. In the ten years of his reign he greatly strengthened the Russian Empire. He has held the peace of Europe safely in his hand, has built long lines of railroad and has civilized the wild hordes of Asia.

ZONE of the effects of the passage of the new tariff law, '' says special dispatch from Charlestown, W. Va, MT. Wilson's district, ''and one which the Republican managers cannot meet, is the great im- provement both in demand and price of beef cattle. During the last two years of the Mckinley tariff fat cattle of the best quality sold as low as 2h cents a pound, and many farmers found it very unprofit- able to continue in business. Since the passage of the new tariff bill good cattle are bringing from 3h to cents. The buyers who had discontinued their calls have re- sumed them, and the cattle raisers are making lots of money. All these cattle men were counted upon to be against Will son, on account of hard times they had suffered, but this turn for the better has change them to the other side, and Wilson will gain athousand votes i'd the cattle country" As we have before said, the farmers and laboring men have only to learn, as they readily can by little ob- servation and investigation, the great work the Democratic party has done for themsnd the country to make them aff enthusiastic Democrats. Work for Democratic candi- dates.

REPUBLICAN leaders knew that the pas- sage of the new tariff law would be of im- mense advantage to the people, the voters of the country, and would, therefore, re- dound to the political benefit of it's author, the Democratic party. For this reason they exhausted every means to delay it's final passage until the December session. after the November lection-notwithstand- ing the injury to the business and people of the country that was caused by it's delay. Said Senator Cullom last spring: "It is the intention of the Republican Senators to delay the passage of the tariff bill as long as possible, because we think it is good politics to do so. I hope we may prevent final action upon the bill until the Decem- Der session. don't think the Democrats will get their bill through in time for the business situation to clear up before the November election.'' Such is Republican statesmanship and patriotism.
 No BUSINESS man will say that business, industrial and financial conditions have not greatly improved since the passage of the new tariff law. Republican prophe- cies of ruin and disaster are falsified. and Democratic prophecies of revival and re- newed prosperity are fulfilled every day. The full fruition of Democratic policy and legislation has been slightly delayed by the fear of possible Republican success in No- vember. When that danger is passed on No- vember 6 we will have i.,ieed started upon Q new era of prosperity and success. Busi- ness men, laborirx men, verybody, work for the final overthrow of Republication. A RREUBLICANrsM In Alabama is now what it was from 1888 to 1874. All it wants is the bower to repeat its history. Aldrich is a Republican now, just as he was in those ark days. No true white man can afford \support him for Congress.

 THE Republican organs try desperately hard to make it appear that the Democratic tionists, but they do not go on to tell why they were protectionists. The truth of history is that they. were 4protectionists from necessity, not from principle. The United States was involved-in war all the time and protective tariff was necessary to furnish the sinews of war. The young nation had to fight its way through like an orphan boy. Protection as war measure is permissb le, but not ih.time of peace. The principle of MeKinieyism had it's ori- gin during the war between. the States, but now that peace prevails it should be stamped out, just as the animosities en- gendered by the war should be subdued
 THE Rio Grande river, that divides Mexico from the United States, is a small stream in dry weather. yet it as effectually stops trade between the two republics as a Chinese wall. The Mckinley bill made of the Rio Grande an impossible barrier. Now we see in the dispatches that trade is reviving between the two countries. Both have what the other wants, and will now get it. United States Consul German at Matamoras says the. effect of the new American tariff is being felt in increased trade with Northern Mexico. In live stock, hides, leather,. etc., the trade will be lively. The Mckinley law absolutely puf d,,tu If bcod o, horoao

Four Pairs of Twins.

We are told that within the past
month four negro women gave birth to
twins in this county. An occasional
pair of twins is nothing remarkable,
although little unusual for NeWberry;
but for four women to havetwins about
the same time is unparalleled. Another
very curious thing in connection with
this is that the women all live on the
road between Capt. Folks and the Jin
Fair place. The babies were doing we'll
at last accounts. This beats Peachtree
street in Atlanta and is way ahead OF
Pomaria. Georgia may proudly boast
Of her electric girls, but Newberry takes
the cake for negro babies. The ''black
belt" between Folks and Fairs will
become famous for that if for nothing
else; for twopairs would be good Tor bad)
enough, and three pairs phenomenal;
but four! Great Spoons! It is startling
and mysterious. Bill Arp ought to hear
about it and somebody ought to write
Bill Nye an account Of the situation. Let
the News and Courier quit bothering
about raising German carp and turn its
attention to the industries of fNewberry,
and the cultivation of the little black
daisy bells. Is another township ready
to be heard from? Our informant did
not tell US whether the forr fathers are
thankful for what they received or not
and We hope our nearest debating So
ciety will take up the question.
Now The Herald and News doesn't
vouch for the truth Of the above. In
fact we can't believe it. 1t is not an
impossibility, but it is an improbability.
We won't believe it until it is corroba-
rated by substantial witnesses, because
the man who told us is very much OF a
Joker, and although be almost swore it
was correct, he is too much OF Mum
chausen and the story seems incredible.
We wouldn't doubt his veracity, but,
when man gets mp reputation
for spinning yarns, it is difficult TO
determine his seriousness. We give the
item for what it is worth, with the
understanding that if it is a fake the
reporter is not the victim of q joke; but
as news was scarce this week he grasped
it with the hope that it was true, as
something had to be written t. fill up

Everybody loves to read ofromances,
of lovers and their difficulties, of run
away marriages, etc. We read of them
with pleasure when they occur in dis
tant States and with much interest
when they are recorded anywhere with
in the borders of our State; but when
they happen right here in Newberry,
we devour the printed words with
eagerness. That is human nature the
world over. Every man, woman and
child sympathizes with struggling
lovers. We should abide the result of
the matrimonial primary. When two
young and handsome and happy peo-
pie make up their minds to mate, like
blue birds in spring, they generally
accomplish the object of their joint
desire. So on Tuesday last Mr.. John
G. Suber, the young and dashing son of
our felIow-townsman Mr.. J. B. Suber,
and Miss jamie Nance, the young and
lovely daughter of the late Col. John
G. Nance, drove to the residence of

leman.

The Republicans are urging Mr..
Robert Moorman to enter the Con-
gressional race and oppose NJ. Lati-
mer's reelection. Mr.. Moorman could
make it lively for. the present incumb-
ent from this district, but says that
owing to the financial stringency which
affects him materially, q circumstance
over which he has no control" it is
impossible now to comply with the
wishes of his friends and constituents.
He regrets his inability to become
candidate at this juncture. The race
would be expensive, and but for that
fact Mr.. Moorman would be accessible
material. The Herald and News re-
porter had heard talk of Mr.. Moorman's
possible candidacy and asked him if
there was any foundation for the
rumor, when he enlightened Us in
substance as above related. He is
sorry to disappoint his supporters who
are anxious to have him represent
them in Congress, and would be pleased
10 have them place him in Office and
power where be could look after their
interests. He appreciates their conf
dence, and, if he had the money, would
not hesitate to accept the prottered
honor and enter the field.
