Perpetual Motion by rrorecr,uu.


The California argument for higher
fruit duties Is a sort Of perpetual mo-
tion. The only disadvantage the Cali
fornian fruit raiser is at Is to be found
in the cost Of his land, but the only
thing that makes his land expensive ID
the profitableness Of fruit culture.
So the matter works out In this way:
The great profits Of fruit raising sent
the value Of land up to hundreds Of dol
lars an acre. The interest ON the value
Of the land makes . large item in q
fruit raiser's balance sheet, and he feels
the need Of high price for his fruit
This Senator Jones procures for him BY
letting it DO known that he will not
vote for the tariff bill unless 1t contains
duties ON hides and increased duties ON
huit and the cheapest sorts Of wool.
The increased duty adds to the profits
II fruit culture, and the price Of land
lakes another rise, whereupon the fruit
grower complains that the interest on
bis land investment is 50 great or the
sental he has to pay for his land is so
high that there is an insufficient profit
IN the business for him. and the only
hing that will save him from disaster
p more duty.
Logically this process can be carried
- indefinitely. Practically it cannot,
because with the increase in the price
& fruit the consumption Of fruit will
decline. The consumer will be worse
on for the change. The grower, so far
- he is not to be considered as q land
ewner, will be no better off, but the
Talue Of the land will be as high as the
profits of fruit culture will permit.

The Protectionist Performance,

The following is q part Of ex.Con-

As it stands the most brilliant part
Of the pending performance consists in
eating the words Of the same actors In
the Fifty-frst congress. The Mckinley
bill Of that date was virtually entitled

bill Is specially commended as q revenue
getter. The Mckinley bill pointed with
pride to the poor mans free breakfast
table. The Dingley bill puts upon sugar

to give the farmers q market abroad for
what it is assumed they cannot produce

THE MAN WHO LAUGHED.
8. +. Examiner,


The innocent gayety which attended
the signing of the Tariff bill by the
President appears to have given that
ceremony something of the character
of a social function among the govern
ing classes. 1t might have been more
complete had Mr.. Havemeyer and Mr..
Rockefeller been hidden to the festivi-
ties. Senator Hanna was unavoidably
absent, owing to circumstances in
Ohio over which he has not as much
control as he would like. But Mr..
Dingley was there, proud of his work,
and there were other statesmen OF
like variety.
The fun began when Mr.. Dingley
brought out his little pen. To quote
the dispatches: "Mr. Dingley, un.
expectedly taking a case from his
pocket, produced pen with beauti-
full mother-of-pearl handle, dainty
enough for lady's use, and requested
that it be used for the signature. The
President recognized the right of Mr..
Dingley, though he laughingly COM
mented on the diminutive size of the
PEN"
How very gayl The President then
" steadily appended his signature" as
we are told, and there was a burst OF
applause. When the applause had
subsidized Attorney-Gen McKenna
remarked, u" 1t is just four minutes
past four o'clock" The significance
of this fatuous remark is not very
clear. Perhaps it was merely the
bubbling exuberance of o full heart.
1t may be that, as Mr.. Mckinley is
the advance agent, Mr.. McKenna as
pires to be the time-keeper of pros
prosperity.
The occasion of all this schoolboy
glee, these cheap jokes, was the final
approval of a measure which taxes
most of the prime necessaries of life
and brings no corresponding gain to
anybody but few wealthy monop-
olists. While the President was max
ng his foolish jokes about the size Of
Mr.. Dingley's ladylike pen. 100000
coal.mincrs were starving because
they prefer to "starve whole" rather
than starve halp on 81 week, to be
taken out at the company's stores.
The measure which Mr.. Mckinley
signed increases the duty on coal q
cents ton. The miners ask an in
crease of 5 cents ton in their pay. II
there were anything III the theory Of
protection they ought to get an in
crease equal to five times what they
ask, and then leave the mine-owners
a comfortable balance of added rev.
enue. In the presence of this fearful
and tremendous object lesson, Mr.. Nc
Kinley made jokes with a light heart
about the size of Mr.. Dingley's pen.
Here is a measure which adds $40,
O0O, 600 a year directly to the income
of the Sugar Trust; which gives the
same trust another $10OO0,000 OF
more indirectly by permitting it Il
stock up with years supply of raw
sugar in advance; measure which
will not provide sufficient revenue fol
the Government, because all tn,
revenue features, like the tax on beer
were rejected lest they might hurt Mr.
Hanna's chances; measure which
taxes almost everything which tn,
farmer and the laborer use and help
them not at all; measure which, il
a word, was dictated and written b!
the trusts and monopolies in their owl
interest, and Mr.. Mckinley finds in i
an occasion for jokes. Possibly il

BETHEL PRESBYTERY.

Rev. Alexander Sprunt, stated clerk,
has kindly sent THE ENQUIRER the
following:
An adjourned meeting of Bethel pres
bytery was held last Friday and Saturday
Q2th and 13th) at Kershaw.
Mr.. w. B. Allison was examined With
a view to his licensure as a probationer OF
the gospel ministry. Satisfactory examl-
nations were held on all the points pre-
scribed by the Book Of Church Order,
except on Hebrew. The following reso-
luton was adopted by presbytery, after
which Mr.. Allison was formally licensed
to preach the gospel.
Resolved, That presbytery approves OF
the examination Of Mr.. w. b. Allison, as
a whole, and inasmuch as Mr.. Allison
has not prosecuted sufficiently the study
of the Hebrew language to warrant an
examination on this subject, presbytery
does now proceed to license him as an
extraordinary case" The reasons which
influence presbytery to this course are the
following:
/. Mr.. Allison has taken the four years
course and graduated at Davidson college,
and he has taken partial course in 20
lumbia Theological seminary; hut be,
cause of defective vision and general
weakness of eyesight, he was not able To
prosecute the study of Hebrew.
2. Presbytery has assurances OF an I'M
mediate prospect of usefulness for THIS
brother in needy field.

THE COTTON MARKET.

The York Vile cotton market yesterday
ranged from 43 to st. The sales during
the present week have been steady, but
quite small. Riordan & Company de-
scribe the general situation in their letter
of Thursday as follows:
The cotton market, pursuing the see
saw tendency it has recently developed, 1,
was higher today. In spite Of sharp
break Of 3-64 in Liverpool and liberal re-
ceipts, our market opened but points
lower. This surprising show OF strength
and an absence of any pronounced selling
encouraged the local bulls and they readi-
ly absorbed what little cotton there was
for sale. Prices both here and in Liver
pool at once began to improve, and al
though the market was very dull the un-
dertone was good all day. A heavy esti-
mate of receipts at New Orleans tonior-
row encourage some selling; but this
cotton was bought back at higher prices
later in the afternoon. January opened
at $40, rallied to 5.77, and closed at that
figure with the tone of the marke steady.
Those who believe in lower prices show
no disposition to force matters, and any
important decline will have to be led by
the southern markets.

election, the slightest suspicion Of it.
Were it not for the assertion of The
Herald, we would not have thought of
such a thing, and had The Herald, in
stead of making this charge, said that
although Johnson gets the most votes,
Cherry is elected, we would not have
been more completely astonished.
That "Mr. Cherry accepts defeat grace
fully" The ENQUIRER has not doubt,
.or that is proper and becoming, and Mr..
Cherry is a good citizen, much better
than is indicated by the vote he received.
But the vote is no indication of prejudice
against Mr.. Cherry on account of his
place of residence. Had he had the op-
portunity of full canvass of the county,
while he may not have been elected, he
would have gotten better vote. John
son, it must be remembered, canvassed
the county last summer, and although de-
feated principally on account of the severe
cutting be received at Rock Hill, really
proved himself to be the strongest man in
the race.
