THOUGHTS OF THE THINKERS
WHAT ABOUT THE rAR1rFs

HAT ABOUT HI TARIFF?
With practical unanimity, the repub-
lican press of the country recognizes
and acknowledges our recent victory
to have been won strictly Oh the tinan-
cial issue, and the generous and patri-
otto help of the gold standard demo-
Gratis. Manifestly, therefore, and by
practical universal acknowledgement,
the victory is not Il victory for high
protection but for sound money.
1t is quite true that Mr.. Mckinley
was nominated as a high protectionist,
but it is equally true that he was elected
because he was for honest money; and
no one will question that the signifi-
canoe of the election outweighs the
purpose of the nomination.
Ii Mr.. Mckinley and the other party
leaders fail to apprehend this fact and
act with reference to it and in harmony
with it, they may confidently expect to
ultimately pay the penalty for their
failure.
1t is certain that the radical high
protectionists, including the protected
manufacturers, will claim that the
country has declared for a high pro-
~tective tariff and ask to have one en-
acted; but it is equally certain that the
country has done no such thing and it
will be very poor national or party pol
icy to grant their request.
Furthermore,the gold standard demo-
Gratis of the senate must be depended
on to help enact any financial legisla-
ton desired in harmony with the YER
dict of the election; and they will nat
urally make use of this advantage to
defeat any tariff legislation which they
are in duty bound 10 oppose.
In view of the. actual conditions, we
must expect that whatever tariff revi-
sion may be adopted is likely to be
upon revenue rather than high protec-
ton views; and we all agree that there
should be u tariff that will produce
sufficient revenue.

THE DEAD SILVER BULL.
The supposed sacred silver bull lies
dead in the arena, having been thrown
and his weak neck broken by the little
goldbull-dog. 1t stillappears, however
that the trainer and manager of the
bull claims that he is not dead-only
stunned: and that he will yet become
under skillful management, a better
fighter than vel
Possibly, but in the interval, will he
kindly carry off the carcass?
He must needs be n Hercules to &c
that. "SiXteento one" has still another
meaning-that sixteen silver units
equal one pound avoirdupois, and that
fifty of them weigh, by the doctored
government scales, v three pounds
and 10y true scales, six pounds. .And
there are 43O,GOo.OCO government unit.

What Does 1t Mean

Mr.. Thomas ]. LaMotte, Of Columbia, who
was secretary of the now defunct prohibition
party in this State proposes to join the
friends of the bar-room system, and the enc
mics of prohibition, to break up the dispen'
sary law, and as is alleged, to enact prohtbi'
tion law. If we are not mistaken he and the
friends Of bar.room system fought the dispen
sary with very little effect two or three years
ago. Mr.. LaMotte will not be able to do any
harm. The dispensary law cripples the whis
key traffic and the friends OF temperance will
take the dispensary as the less of the two
evils. A proper control OF the dlspensary is
the solution of the liquor question. If Mr.
LaMotte has left his old friends and gone into
the ranks of the enemy, that is matter OF
his concern. He can do no harm to those who
sincerely and truly desire to curtail the liquor
business. His new associates may make use
OF him, but they will hardly think as we'll OF
him, as they formerly did.

Suffering. Anderson.

The Anderson Journal has been completely
overpowered. In speaking Of the "Karnival
Of Koramerce," or, as we called 1t IN Aooe-
willie, "The Business Mems Carnival" that
paper says:
'The young ladies who took part IN the kar,
nival as the representatives Of the seVera.
business houses displayed excellent taste ana
great ingenuity in the make up OF their cos,
tunes and received the hearty applause Of
the large audience We will not attempt a
description Of the entertainment as tnal
would be too tedious and difficult, and we
could not mention any speacial feature Wlth'
out doing injustice to the Others"
> We had the same performance In Aobeville,
by as pretty and as accomplished young
ladies as ever appeared before an audience.
The play was so good that 1t was copyrighted
and no company can ever reproduce the play
in the same town.
Our conviction is that the condition
against reproduction of the piece was unne'
cessary. It would be hard to find commu
nifty that would crave repetition of the play
one time will satisfy. If the Journal doubts
that the business men are satisfied with one
performance, let him ask some OF the parties
who have fooled away money on it.

s.The Income Tax-Is 1t Intended to
6 Bleed Charleston Or Not?''


Our respected contempory, the Charleston
Evening Sun, asks the above question. The
newspapers and the people Of Charleston
have so often referred to their wealth that we
would not be surprised If the provision of the
constitution authorizing an income tax was
intended for the special benefit of those
friends who have ever been so ready to re-
mind as OF their wealth.
Charleston, In the times that are past. has
ever been ready to urge her wealth as JUS
tification for desired Legislation and for the
privilege of having two Senators.
And 1t seems to us that vast wealth. TO-
eether with their educational and intellectual
powers, has induced the city gentlemen 10
have a very poor opinion of country people
as has been plainly evidenced by their r1di'
cule OF country people. "Three-for-aQuarter
Statesmen" come from other sections tnan
Charleston or, at least we have never hearo
of one of that kind coming from that city.
Charleston's conduct in preventing a reap
pointment Of members of the House ana ner
constitutional right to have two Senator'S
had. we think, something to do In bringing
on the convention which framed the consltu-
tion under which we now live.
That convention did two good things:
It allowed Charleston properrepresentatiop
in the Senate, and 1t authorized the levy OF
taxes ON the Charleston money OF which we
have SO long heard.
The convention no doubt sympathised with
the "Three-for-a-Quarter Statesmen OF the
country districts, and thus tried to even up
things little.

The PelAitentiary.

The committee to report on the manage
ment Of the penitentiary made majority
and minority report. The minority report
criticises unfavorably the management of the
Institution. Some of the newspapers have
rushed frantically to the defense Of the man.
agement, and make slurs at the minority re-
port. At this distance, and without knowing
anything at all Of the matter. except as we
see it in the papers, we believe the worst and
most ominous thing against the institution is
the voluntary defense of the management,
even before the management was heard from.
The defense sounds TO us too much like the
king can do no wrong. Turn on the light.
and give the facts, and such frantic defense
will be unnecessary. The facts will speak for
themselves. We have seen nothing more out
Of taste than the hurried defense.

The County 10 Pay Cash.
Mcf,ormick Timpg

The Board of County Commissioners fol
Abbeville county held their regular monthly
meeting last Monday. Arrangements were
made to pay the expenses Of the county In
cash, the money being borrowed for this pur'
pose at seven per cent interest.
This is good move, and should have been
taken long ago. AS rule, persons who dc
work for the county have need OF the pay AZ
soon as the work is done, and heretofore II
has been O great hardship on them TO be com
PEELED TO wait ten or twelve months for their
paw, or else sell their claims at from ten to
twenty-five percent discount. And then we
believe the new arrangement will Ge mat.
ter of economy to the county, for q man Will
be disposed to work cheaper If be knows for a
Certainty that he will be paid for 1t within
thirty days after the worked is performed.
There was some talk OF arranging 10 pay
the school teachers in cash every month, but
this was not done, and in the very nature of
things we do not see how such an arrange.
ment could be made. The school fund is ap-
portioned according to the average attend
ance on each school, and with shoots In differ
ent sections Of the county running al dl1er-
ent seasons, We do not see how 1t would be
possible to determine what each teacher Is
entitled to until the end OF the scholastic year.
The present school system will have TO pc
abolished and new one Instituted before the
new one can be paid monthly.

Getting I'm by Degrees.
McCnrmIn Ink TlmeR

School Comm Missioner Milford has recently
moved TO Abbevile e. H. with his family.
While at Abbeville last Monday We heard
some gentlemen joking him about becoming
a town citizen after having lived in the coun
try all his lie and having been elected to OF
flee by the country people.
He laughingly replied hat the boys ought
not TO be too hard on him for he had not com
mitted very grievous sin, as he had only
moved into the suburbs OF the town. He COLI
tends that he still lives far enough out TO ge,
and keep from putting on town style and
town airs.
We have not heard whether Mr.. Milford
will be a candidate for reelection, but Ii be
does we sincerely hope no man will vote
against him simply because he has moved
into the suburbs OF town.

Has Something to Say.
Mccormick Times. g

The editor of the Times spent last Monday
at Abbeville G. H. There was an unusually
large crowd In town. larger than has been
known In several years, but the lands that
were sold went at a remarkably low figure.
Everybody seemed cheerful and hopeful,
and out OF three or four thousand people we
did not hear the subject OF "hard times, "
mentioned once
The politicians, both present Office holders
and prospective candidates, were busy shak-
ing hands and circulating among "tbe dear
people" The indications are that there will
be plenty OF candidates to choose from when
the time comes To vote this summer. A num-
Der of them expressed themselves as anxious
to get good vote in this section this summer,
as It will no doubt be the last time the people
in this end Of the county. will participate IN
an election in Abbeville county. Everybody
recognizes that Mccormick county is going
to be established.
Whilein town we went up into the Press
and Banner Office and paid our respects 10
Editor Hugh Wilson. Mr.. Wilson always has
a warm greeting for a brother printer, and
has always shown An especially friendly dis
position towards this newspaper and Its edi
tor, for which we are keenly appreciative.

put on a new dress for our paper, and we ex.
pect to pattern after the Press and Banner In
great many things.
