1 OUR CRITICISM UPON MIL RAN
DALL'S TARIFF VIEWS.
CONCLUDED..
Hon. Samuel J. Randall, we were pleased
to see, expressed his doubts of the consti
tutionality of “a tariff simply for protec
tion.” We are told that he was the writer
of the platform adopted by tbe Pennsyl
vania Democracy in their state convention
held at Harrisburg, August 1st, 1883.
While the platform lias a plausible aspect,
it is a cunningly devised fable. It declares
“that import duties should be so adjusted
in their application as to prevent unequal
burdens, encourage productive industries
at home and afford just compensation to
labor, but not to create or foster monop
olies.” No democrat objects to that. It
is a departure’!!om that arrangement of
the duties to which th- great Democratic
party objects. For instance, Mr. Randall
supports a tariff which imposes a duty of
70 to 95 per cent, respectively, upon
coarse and fine blankets. Tne result was
that iu 18S1-2 but $3,887 of blankets were
imported on whieli the duty was $6,804, an
average of 77 per cent. This was virtual
ly prohibitive, and fostered a monoply in
blankets in tlie United States, for the man
ufacturers in this country sold 20,000,000
of blankets in that year, and but for the
high duties imposed by the tariff consum
ers in America, could have obtained them
at but little over half the price they paid
for tnem, while the treasury would have
received several millions of dollars. It isaa
easy matter Tor Mr. Randall to say, he
does not favor a tariff for the sake or pro
tection, and to say further, “Protection
for the sake of protection is prohibition
pure and simple of importation, and if
there be no importation there will be no
duties collected, and consequently no rev
enue, leaving the necessary expenses of the
government to be collected by direct tax
es, &,c.”
We say it is easy for him to say that,
but what is tlie assertion worth when he
sustains a tariff that prohibits importa
tion of blankets and steel rails and thus
deprives the Government of many millions
of dollars revenue. Here are two great
monopolies fostered by tlie protective tariff
which ho sustains. The last tariff, the
sham and we might properly say, Iradu-
lent tariff of last winter, raised tne duty
on iron are 50 per cent, and by a cunning
classification kept others up while pretend
ing to reduce them.
What wo have said of blankets and steel
rails is also applicable to flannels, the duty
being 71 to 9G per cent, other woolen goods
70 to 91; calicoes and other cottons 55 63;
spool tliroad 76 8o; window glass 59 84;
steel rails 82; iron 37 to 90; salt 36 65.
These extraordinary duties instead of
preventing unequal burdens creates them,
instead affording just compensation to la
bor, burdens almost beyond endurance; in
stead of encouraging productive industries
at home checks and crushes them. Now,
in the South especially, which should man
ufacture cotton goods for the world, the
cost of machinery and everything else
needed in the factories is so great that it
is difficult to erect one where the water
power is the best in the world. It la com
mon to hear people say now, why build
more factories when those already in oper
ation can’t find markets for their goods.
With all her advantages, the south
can’t compete with the North in this bus
iness backed as 9he is witn several billions
of capital. They can hold on to their
goods and though the south can obtain
the bounties which protection affords as
well as the manufacturers of the North,
the latter possesses all the emporiums of
commerce, greater facilities of trade, and
witli her immense capital can keep the
markets glutted and the southern manu
facturers iu trouble for want of purchasers.
If there are any people in this country,
who, more than others should oppose the
protective policy, it is the cotton producers
and manuiacturers of the South. Low du
ties and cheap machinery with unfailing
water power and proximity' to the cotton
fields and tlie gins, will put the South
ahead of any other portion of the world
in cotton manufactures. The Southern
protectionists, unknowingly perhaps, are
putting instruments in the hands of their
northern rivals to check a prosperity which
language cannot describe, tor a century at
least, if not fora longer time. If we'be-
lieVedthe high tariff policy would contin
ue in the ascendant for all future time
while the charm of our long unbroken love
for our section would continue to the close
of life, we would say in our secret heart,
Unfortunate Soutli! May God in his infi
nite mercy protect you!
We are told by Democratic protectionists
that Mr. Randall’s platform, or rather the
one he prepared for the Pennsylvania dem
ocratic convention, is the same as that or
the Ohio Democratic convention. It is in
part tlie same. Mr. Randall inserted the
following in his Pennsylvania platform
which they call the Ohio platform.
“We favor a tariff for revenue limited to
the necessities of Government economical
ly adminissered, and so adjusted in its ap
plication as to prevent unequal burdens,
encourage productive industries at home,
afford just compensation to iabot^ but not
to create or foster monopolies."
That Is a part of the Ohio platform. It
was merely a general presentation of the
principles of the Ohio convention. We
have shown above what the Ohio conven
tion meant by that part or its platform.
We favor every word it contains. We fa
vor a tariff to raise revenue for tho Gov
ernment economically administered; we
favor adjusting the duties to prevent une
qual burdens, to encourage productive in
dustries at home, to afford just compen
sation to labor but not to create or foster
monopolies. Any tariff of duties whatev
er will afford some protection. We have
shown that the present high tariff is not
arranged to get the mo9t revenue, we have
shown that it Imposes unequal burdens, we
have shown that it does not encourage
productive industries at home, that it does
not afford just compensation to labor but
oppresses labor by forcing it to pay high
prices for everything needed and that It i
creates and fosters monopolies. Every
one can see at a glance that the declara- I
tion, that the few lines copied from the i
Ohio platform Is the Democratic platform j
of that state, is a sham, a trick to mislead !
people. It affords us no pleasure to say
this but absolute pain. But some of our
brother democrats have fotced a contest
among democrats and do not play fair as
they should upon, in our opinion, a ques
tion which deeply affects tiie best interests
of the people. It is scarcely probable that
the protective Democrats, leaders and wri
ters in tlie party, can be ignorant of the
peoceedings ot ihe Ohio Democratic con
vention. If they are they should correct
their misapprehension of the facts, and if j
they are not, they have no right to coin- |
plain if charged with playing a deceitful \
game to umhuain their views on questions (
of the tariff. Now we say to them that the |
following was a part of the platform of
the Ohio Democratic convention, wliich as- '
eembled in Columbus, Ohio, ou the 21st of ;
June, 1883. |
"We denounce the present tariff levied
upon nearly 4,00(1 articles, as a master
piece of injustice, inequality and lalse pre
tense. It vields a dwindling, uot a yearly
rising avenue. It has impoverished many
industries to subsidize a few. It prohibits
imports tiiat might purchase the products |
of American labor. It has degraded Ameri
can commerce from the first to an interior
rank on the high seas. It has c;t down
the sales of American manufactures at
home antLabroad and depleted the returns
of American Agriculture, an industry fol
lowed by half our people. It costs the peo
ple five times mure tliau it produces to the
Treasury, obstructs the processes of pro
duction and wastes the fruits of labor. It
promotes fraud, fosters smuggling, enrich
es dishonest officials and bankrupts honest
merchants. We demand that all Custom
house taxation shall be Only for Revenue.”
We think we have done justice to Mr. S.
J. Randall’s views, and we think further,
that he has no just claims upon the Demo
cratic party to place him iu the Speaker’s
chair at the ensuing session of congress.
The Stock Law in South Carolina.—
Statistics show, that in this State, in 1875,
the total head of live stock was 900,000; in
1882, it was 1,286,778. The number ot swine
increased from 200,592 in 1868, to 590,506
in 1882. For the last five years South Car
olina has had the stock law. In 1874, the
yield of corn in the same State was ten
millions of bushels; in 1382, seventeen mil
lions ; of oats in 1874, three quarters of a
million bushels; in 1882, eight millions; of
wheat in 1874, three quarters of a million
of bushels; in 1882, two millions; of cotton
in 1374,one hundred and forty millions of
pounds of lint;;-in 1882, two hundred and
seventy-nine and a half millions of pounds.
The increase iu other farm products Is
quite as great. Under the operation of
the stock law, the labor has not left the
State, but are contented, prosperous and
happy. Facts are stubborn things, the
finest spun theories are often deceptive and
fallacious. Our statistics come from the
Charleston News and Courier.

Bad white men do a great deal of harm

would imitate the Indian woman in some
other respects, they would be strong and

A DIG DAY.
Carr’s Station, April 28th, 1883.
Messrs. Editors: Thursday, the 27th
ult, was a big day for those citizens who
reside in the south west corner of Han
cock county Ga. It was generally under
stood in this section, that the exercises of
Miss Mattie Fowlfr’s school would close
on the above mentioned day. Early in the
day vehicles of. various types began to
pour in from all points of the compass,
heavily freighted with eager visitors and
spectators. The examination was pro
gressing when the writer reached the sha
dy grove in which the school house is lo
cated. The.schola.rs, (mostly young) evinc
ed by the progress and prompt responses,
that they had been subjected to tho care
ful training of a thoroughly competent,
and faithful teacher. About noon it was
announced that the Asylum String Band
had arrived. As this intelligence was soon
confirmed by appearance of the musicians
themselves, then a bland smile settled up
on every countenance, and silvery accents
fell from every tongue. This new inspira
tion reached its climax, when the “Band
struck up,” and Hooded the adjacent
groves with soul inspiring music. Altera
number of classes had passed through the
“deep waters, and fiery wails,” common
pupils on such occasions, dinner was an
nounced. All repaired to the tables which
fairly groaned under the weight of good
tilings prepared by delicate hands, for the
building up of the “inner man.” The most
fastidious epicure, could have gratified his
appetite at this tempting repast. Judging
from the time some few lingered at the
banquet, we might inter that they were
provisioning for an Artie Expedition. Din
ner over, the enchanting melodies of the
Band again floated out upon the breeze, as
a signal, Tor resuming the “feast of reason
and the flow of soul.” The afternoon was
devoted, to compositions, recitations and
dialogues Ac., in rich variety. Everything
was done decently and in order. The priz
es were delivered by Mr. Thos. J. West, to
the successful competitors, followed by a
few pertinent remarks, addressed mainly
to parents and children. Thus passed a i
gala day, one which will lie long remem
bered in this corner of tho county. In
conclusion, wo would say that Miss Mat-
tie Star, is in tlie ascendant', in this com
munity. and if she does not accept a posi
tion as junior partner, in a new firm, she
will be importuned to return and resume
her school. Many thanks to tho Band.

BALDWIN’S REPRESENTATIVE.
The Atlanta correspondent of tlie Telc-
graidi it Messenger thus refers to Bald
win’s Jute representative:
Atlanta, September 29.—A question fre
quently before the recent Legislature was
in regard to the “no fence,” or stock law.
1 have no doubt the question is one upon
which the whole State will, before a great
while, tie called to pass. Among the coun-
ties asking legislation on this subject was
Baldwin, a bill being introduced by Hon.
Mark Johnston. There was some contro-
!■ versy over the question in theiounty. but
Mr. Johnston, having at interest all his
constituency, shaped his bill so as to ben
efit all sections of his county. His bill
prevents the running at large of eattle,
stock, etc, upon the lands of another in
in the 313th and 319th districts of Baldwin.
These districts compose a large part of
the county timbered with oak arid timber,
and such a law was considered greatly
needed hy tho people living in them, who
ere at the same time a large majority of
tlie white voters of the county. The other
section of tiie county is made up of pino
and surely lands, where it would work a
hardship to prevent the running at largo
of stock. Tl “ bill, therefore, is calculated
to unit the-whole county and Is creditable
to the discretion and judgement of the
representatives. It was a happy solution
of a vexe ! question.
Baldwin has been fortunate in its rep
resentative j n ([ 1H late Legislature. Mr.
•Johnston has been a positive force in that
body. G°ntlcmanlj’, popular with its
members, and has held Baldwin to its
rightful place, among the leading coun
ties of Georgia. Mr. Johnston introduced
aud carriiil through successfully a healthy
quota of bills, all of them wise measures,
and some of them of importance to the
whole State. Of tlie latter his celebrated
oleomargarine bill is prominent.

What Tom Moore Said.
"Wrinkles are democratic and Hatter no
body." The same may be said of all blem
ishes of the skin, whether caused by sick
ness, age or accident. “Gteen’s Sulphur
soap” will at least retard the time when
wrinkles make their appearance, by keep
ing the skin of a velvet softness, improv
ing Its elasticity and preserving its health
ful appearance. It gives a pearly aspect
to the skin, which cannot bo distinguished
from the natural hue of a pure blonde
complexion. Beware of counterfeits. See

SMOTHERED TO DEATH.
Last Tuesday we recorded the death
of a 6on of Mr. Adams, at Eatonton, from
being smothered to death while playing
in a pile of seed cotton. Just about the
same time a similar death took place in
Emanuel county, as told by the Swainsbo-
ro Itemizer:
A little son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilder Phil
lips was smothered to death while playing
in some seed cotton several days ago.
When found by his sister, his head was
buried in the cotton. The little fellow
gasped only two or three times after be
ing extricated. Parents should not allow
their children to play either in lint or seed
cotton.
And still another. The Ncwnan Herald
of tbe 25th says:
A little soo of Mr. Joel Moore, who lives
on Mr. M. N. Colley’s place near Luther
ville, was smothered to death in a pile of
seed cotton last Wednesday. It seems
that there was a large pile of cotton tn the
house and the little boy w>s playing in it,
burrowing a bole and ciawling in, when
the cotton filled in ou top and smothered
the lad. The family knew notbiug ot tiie
occurrence until sometime afterward think
ing that he was off on the farm some
where.

will work the repeal ol the law by the next

PUTNAM.
From the Chronicle.
Putnam is to have a railroad meeting
this week. The object is to build a rail
road from Eatonton to Madison.
‘Handsome is that handsome does.’
Now Milledgeville would deserve this com

build that three mile canal running tho
Oconee througn the centre of tlie city, and
then build a line of factories thereon. It
would be the citiest city then in Middle

Mr. C. W. Ennis, the Sheriff of Baldwin
county, came on Jast Wednesday to arrest
a negro on the plantation or Mr. S. Na

stealing chickens from ‘a brother in black.’
When Mr. Ennis approached in company
with Mr. Napier, the man left, and failing
to heed the cry of halt &e., Mr. Ennis shot
at him twice, one shot taking effect. The
result of the wound we have not learned.
