niFFRRE’VCK OF OPIYIOM.
Governor’ McEneby, ot is
thus recorded on the tariff. He believes
“ in a taxation for revenue, but incidental
“protection.” Every State,” he thinks,
'• ought to try in making the tariff less to
“ discriminate o > *» u» encourage inae
** pendence of foreign products and sup
“ plies. Every industry ought to be en
** conraged, and a discrimination made in
“its favor until it can supply the home
“ demand and enter upon competition
" with foreign productions, when it should
•• be removed. All agricultural indus
“ tries should be encouraged by protec
•• tion, particularly the sugar, which is
“ both an agricultural and manufacturing
“ industry, and which gives employment
“to more persons than any other in our
“ country.”
This is on a line with the platform de
clarations of Ohio, Virginia, North Caro
lina and Pennsylvania. It is on a line
with the States East, West and South
whose votes are necessary to decide a
Presidential election in favor of the Demo
cratic pirr*y.
Governor Lowbey, of Mississippi, says :
“ My opinion is that Mississippi stands
“ squarely opposed to a hign protective
“ tariff We have cheap labor, cheap fuel,
“ water power, a genial climate, and can
“ compete with sny country on earth in
“ the manufacture of articles for which
“ the conditions are otherwise adapted*
“ U hat our people desire is a tariff limit
“ed to the necessary expenses of the
“ Government economically administered,
“ and so adjusted in its details that the
“ agriculturist shall share its advantages
“ with the manufacturer. It has been the
“ policy of the party in power to tax the
“ manufactured article, thus creating a
“ monopoly in favor of the manufacturer,
“ while it has admitted the raw material
“ free, thus exposing the agricultural com
“ munity to the competition of the pauper
“ labor of Europe, against which it de
“ claims so vigorously in behalf of the
• manufacturer.”
This is not free trade, but has a leaning
that way. Mississippi, we believe, has
few manufacturing industries, but they
would net be benefited by a removal of
protective duties. When it was proposed
to make jute free, Senator George opposed
it, because the raising of that crop and its
possible decortication by a new invention,
hsd become an infant industry in his State.
The farmer is protected in many of his
productions, and preat manufacturing
centres give him markets that are valu
able. If a tariff could be adjusted which
would equally benefit all classes, as Gov.
Lowbey seems to desire, no Democrat
would object to it. But there’s the rub.””
The trouble with Governor Lowrey ap.
pears to be an inaptness for statistics. He
ought to have sent proofs of his interview
in the Times Democrat to Brother Jonas,
of the Aberdeen Examiner. Had he done
so, the New York Tribune would not have
made so complete an exposure of what it
calls his ignorance. For example, he de
nounced the internal revenue system, the
collections under which, he said, “cost
about 25 per cent.—or say, $5,000,000 is
paid for the collection of $20,000,000.”
Now, as the New York paper shows, the
cost of internal revenue collections for the
fiscal year ending June, 1881, was $5,-
108,300, and the collections amounted
to $140,520,273, making a cost of 3% per
cent. This was the average cost for the
six years ending then.
If Governor Lowrey is opposed to the
internal revenue tax, he must favor a tariff
for revenue, and such a tariff would proba
bly give all the protection necessary.
We cite these cases to show two things.
First, There are honest differences be
tween good Demoo ats on this subject;
and, second, in view of such differences,
the party had better let the tariff alone
and harmonize on matters about which
there is no dispute. The this end, the
Chronicle has preferred Mr. Randall for
the Speakership. The election of Mr.
Carlisle or Mr. Cox would split the party
in all sections and defeat it in 1884,
ONE KIND OF AMERICAN.
The Chicago Tribune is mistaken, we
think, when declaring that a certain Mr.
Ross Winans, who has become obnoxious
to certain Scotchmen, is the man who
made a very large fortune in building
what were supposed to be railroads in
Russia. The founders of the fortunes of
the Winans family, of Baltimore, were
Ross and Thomas, father and son, both of
whom are dead. The surviving Ross is a
grandson of the first named and a
son of the last. Thomas Winans.
in conjunction with the Whistlers, made
millions of dollars on Russian railway con
tracts, the Crimean war being a perfect
bonanza to them. We were under the im
pression that Thomas Winans grew rich le
gitimately, because of his remarkable me
chanical talents and energy, aided by for
tuitous circumstances. But the Tribune
explicitly declares that, by the connivance
of the Russian engineers and officials, with
whom he had a thorough understanding,
he was paid for many hundred miles of
road which he never built, and work that
was quarter done and accepted as perfect.
The Grand Duke Alexis, when he visited
this country, denounced Winans publicly,
eharged that the roads were worthless, and
that the Russians had been enormously
swindled.
What the TVibune says about Thomas
Winans becoming a millionaire, building
a palace in Baltimore and furnishing it
like a prinee is true. But, after many
years of eccentric and costly experiments
with new fangled steamships, steam or
gans, tower ventilation and heaven knows
what all, he died. He was a free-liver and
copious drinker of champagne and brandy.
A martyr to rheumatism and gout, he rolled
in money but did not escape many suffer
ings. His wife, one of the best and
noblest of women, died before him. His
most promising son followed the mother
to the spirit land. The father offered the
doctors half his fortune to save the boy,
but nothing could bribe inexorable
death. His surviving son, and co
heir to the millions has had a not
altogether savory experience. We do
not care to dwell upon the particulars.
What we are coming to is the charge that
being the son of his father, and having
prodigious sums of money he could
never have earned himself, this mushroom
great man aspiring “to live among the
Brumagem nobility of London, and to be
as good as the best of them rented a
deer forest from a Mr. MacPherson
Grant, extending over two hundred thou-
CHRONICLE AND CONSTITUTIONALIST. AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1883.
sand acres in Inverness-shire. There
were some crofters in the forest at the
time he rented the place, and he insisted
that Mr. Grant should evict them. This
Mr. Grant refused to do, and it was de
cided, after a contest in the courts, that
he could not be compelled to evict. Mr.
Winans, shoddy aristocrat from America,
then set to work to make the clearances
himself.” He is, no doubt, the person re
ferred to in a letter addressed by Mr. K.
F. Ballairs, an American, to the London
Times, in wbi?h he says :
It is & fact that an American, unable to find
in his own gigantic country a spot where he
can e>tilk undisturbedly, has taken up two
hundred thousand acres ot land in our little
British Kingdom and converted it into a deer
forest. How many shepherds, crofters and
villagers have been dispossessed for this rich
man’s vhim, how many broken homes have
resulted from this regal self-investiture ?
Were such a procedure attempted in my own
far Western States I know what would result,
A writer in the Pall Mall Gazette, sign
ing himself “Anglo-American,” comment
ing on this, and, after d°scribing lynch
law, says: “The result in America to any
one who would attempt to pursue the
same policy in the United States that the
American in question is now pursuing in
the Highlands would bring upon him or
his agents notice to leave the county or
eounties within a limited number of days,
and persistency in a policy so indefensible
and so inhuman as the system of High
land clearances would lead in America to
violence, most likely to the shotgun, and
probably to the neck-tie ceremony on the
nearest tree. This,” he says, “I wish to
explain, is what Mr. Ballairs • knows
would result.’ ”
We freely confess that this kind of an
American is simply u detestable specimen.
Very likely he supposes, as is so often tho
case, that the money made in an alleged
questionable way, by his father, entitles
him to be considered a superior being,
and that the poor are no better than so
much cattle, if as good. Nay, he would
not treat a blooded horse or a Jersey cow
as he has treated the unhappy Scotch
crofters. Long residence in England, or
in Rnssia, lAs possibly eliminated what
little of the American remained in him.
He does not belong here but there. He
has joined the classes whose crimes
against the poor cry to Heaven for ven
geance. The rich sportsmen of England,
plus the shoddy American despot, are only
laying up wrath against the day of wrath.
OHIO.
The Republican papers have two voices
about Ohio. While pretending to consider
that victory is already discounted there,
thev occasionally admit that the result is
doubtful. And So it is. The danger to
the Republicans is from the German and
Prohibition voters. The first named will
probably side with the Democrats. The
last named, for totally different reasons,
will support their own candidates. As the
Prohibitionists are a formidable minority
and chiefly Republicans, it can be seen
that Hoadly, though unpopular in some
quarters, may pull through because of Ger
man support and Prohibition defection from
tbe Republican party. Indeed, so potent
is the Prohibition revolt, that there is
already talk of turning the whole Repub
lican organization, next time, over to that
side, in case of defeat in October. Indeed
we are told specifically that “The Prohi
bitionists have no hope of anything more
than incidental recruits from the Democ
racy, but they are shrewdly bidding for
such a Republican alliance and have more
than once publicly declared that the tem
perance mission might worthily be taken
up to the further honor of the party that
stamped out slavery and restored the pub'
lie credit.” That is just what Hemey A.
Wise predicted and it is just what may be
looked for.
Meanwhile it is said that Judge Hoadly
is not really sick, but simply withdrawn
temporarily until the factions of his own
party heal their differences. At the proper
time the Judge, who is preparing his
speeches, will enter the campaign and
make it a rattling one, If the Democrats
should lose the State, next month, it will
be an embarrassment, but not at all fatal
to the campaign of next year. If they gain
a complete victory, even with divided
counsels and an unpopular candidate, the
Republican goose will be cooked for 1884.
This is an almost universal admission.
We shall see what we shall see.
HAPPINESS.
The meeting of Jay Gould and Samuel
J. Tilden, as their grand yachts lay side
by side on the North river, is made the
text by the New York World for a sermon
on happiness. The reader is presented to
a man of 47 who has more power through
invested capital than any man in the
world. He controls, as our contemporary
pithily says, “more miles of railway and
telegraph, has more authority over human
labor, more absolute power over the traffic
of millioLS of people than is possessed by
any private individual in any country.”
The other man, no longer young, and far
from healthy, in spite of Mr. Watterson’s
testimony, is not the less a notable figure.
He is a prominent politician, a renowned
lawyer, and has the unique celebrity of
having been swindled, by a legal juggle,
out of the Presidency. He is the surviving
Count de Chambord of the United States.
These men have all the material gifts
that men live, sin and die for, and
they have them without stint. And
yet the World, like the mocker at
a Roman triumph, steps between
and declares positively that they are not
happy and cannot be. The man, however
poor and humble, who has content, has
happiness; but no man, the World says,
who has allowed the dream of Ambition to
enter his soul is or can be either content
or happy. This is an old truism, with a
novel combination and a fresh personal
application. It has been preachy since
the earth began to be populated, and will
continue to be sermonized until the whole
globe is dissolved. And yet, how few will
take its lessons to heart ? How few, stirred
by restless spirits and burning brains, can I
be satisfied ? Nor is it well that they
should be. What a stagnation would come ’
upon this planet if men and women were
content! It is, on the contrary, the grand '
discontent of noble intellects that discovers
new continents, develops old lands, ■
invents new methods, conquers natural
obstructions, plants the banner of civiliza
tion or faith in heathen climes, and, in a
word, works the miracles of progress from
age to age. Man was not put in this world
to be happy. If content here, what in-
ducement would there be to seek bliss
hereafter? Ambition is not a sin. When
properly directed, in noble ways, it is a
splendid virtue. It may be thkt Mr.
Gould and Mr. Tilden are wretched, but,
if so, it is because they have abused their
prodigality of fortune and misused their
stewardship for mean and selfish ends.
Nor are the multitudes who work hard
and have acquaintance with poverty and
privation any happier than Gould or Til
den. If anything, they are much more
miserable, because many thousands of
them have a fiery ambition to rise and at
tain wealth and power, but fall back baf
fled and forlorn. Gould and Tilden have
at least the satisfaction of having won
vast reputations and influence. Their
names have been projected to the ends of
the earth, and will go sounding down the
ages. There is much to console human
pride in that. But what plummet can
sound the abysmal despair of millions who
craved to be all that these men typify and
yet have nothing at all !
Happiness is more or less a fiction. It
does not completely exist anywhere. It is
neither in the palace nor the hovel. Even
with the greatest saints it is absent, because
they do not expect it here but hereafter.
We dare say that Gould and Tilden have
just as much happiness as the majority of
men who have aspirations, brains and en
ergy. We have no doubt that they are
much happier than myriads who desire to
better themselves and cannot. The near
est approach to happiness is that which
conforms to the divine order in all things
and is patient of earthly toil that leads
to eternal reward. But how many of the
children of men have attained any such
perfection? Not for nothing did Roths
child offer $1,000,000 to any man who
could prove himself contented with his
lot, and very properly did he expel the ap
plicant who would not have come for the
reward if he had really been satisfied.
SANITATION.
If we are to credit the reports of
Boards of Health, physicians and hygie
nic writers, many of the maladies fatal to
the human system may be traced to what
are called “modern improvements.” In
view of the fact that house building has
taken cn something of a “ boom ” in Au
gusta, and likely to continue for some
time, under the stimu’us of Associations
forthat purpose, it may not be inoppor
tune to state that Colonel George E. War
ing. the distinguished engineer, has for
warded to the Social Science Association,
in session at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., an
able paper on house drainage. According
to this eminent scientist the stationary
washstand must go; whatever water the
householder of the future gets he will get
in some one central room on each floor,
in which no one will live or sleep. All
horizontal pipes will be done away with.
The pipes, big and little, will course the
house, in plain view of all the occupants,
and the eccentric house builder will find
himself within the close grip of an inspec
tor who will permit nothing but the short
est pipes, tbe simplest system, and tbe
best mechanical or natural devices. The
pitcher and washbowl, which were reject
ed, are to become the chief stone of the
corner in the sanitary edifice of the mil
lennium.
In his grand new house on Fifth Avenue,
New York, Mr. Vanderbilt would not per
mit stationary washstands to be put in
position, and he took care to observe just
such precautions as Colonel Waring has
pointed out. We have no doubt that the
drainage cf a house is of the last import
ance, and that the health or sickness of its
inmates largely depends upon the kind of
plumbing done there. “Modern conveni
ences” are excellent things in their way,
but care should be taken to make them
hurtlesrf as well as enmfortab’e.

Songs Never Sung
“How does that verse run ? Something like
this, isn’t it ?
‘There are who touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them;
Alas ! for those who never sing,
But die with all their music in them.’ ”
“Yes, that’s beautiful, pathetic and true,”
said your representative. “The pret alludes
to peopl * who are somehow suppressed, and
never get their full allowance of joy and air.
Which reminds me of a letter shown me the
other day by Hiscox & Co., of New York,
signed by Mr. E. 0. Williams, of Chapman,
Snyder Co., Pa , a prominent business man of
that place. He writes:
“I have suffered with asthma for over forty
years, and had a terrible attack in December
and January, 1882. I hardly know what
prompted me to take Parker’s Tonic. I did
so, and the first day took four doses. The ef
fect astonished me. That night I slept as if
nothing was the matter with me, and have
ever since. I have had colds since, but no
asthma. My breaihing is now as perfect as if
I had never known that disease. If you know
of any one who has asthma tell him in my
name that Parker’s Tonic will cure it—even
after forty years.’ There was a man who es
caped the late of those whom the poet la
ments.
This preparation, which has heretofore
been known as Parker’s Ginger Tonic, will
hereafter be advertised and sold under the
name of Parker’s Tonic. Inasmuch as ginger
is ready an unimportant ingredient, and un
principled dealers are constantly deceiving
their customers by substituting inferior prep
arations under the name of ginger, we drop
the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prep
aration itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands of dealers, wrapped under tbe name of
Parker’s Ginger Tonic contain the genuine
medicine, if the sac-simile signature of Hiscox
& Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.
