TAXATION.
In raising taxes for the support of
the government, we never have been
able to see how any intelligent and
reasonable man should object to the
imposition of a tax to fall equally up
on the rich and the poor. For
stance, if the tax was a direct one
the rich man should have more to pay
than the poor man. If the revenue
is raised by a tariff, the duties should
be so laid as to conform to that
principle as nearly as possible. For
this reason the duties should be light,
upon such articles as are used by the
poor, and heavier upon such as
used, mostly, by the rich. To carry
out this principle as fully as possible
would involve this arrangement of
the tariff; first, to raise no more
money than is necessary for the w'ants
of the government. Second, that no
duty should be imposed on any ar
ticle above the low’est rate which will
yield the largest amount of revenue
Third, that, the maximum revenue
duty should be imposed on luxuries.
Fourth, that all minimums and all
specific duties should be abolished
and advalorem duties substituted in
their place. Fifth, that the duties
should be so imposed as to operate as
equally as possible upon all the peo
ple. This would be fair and just to
all classes. The poor could indulge
as far as their means would permit in
using luxuries. But, of course, such
indulgences would be very limited be
cause of their limited means, while
the rich could indulge to a great ex
tent because of their ample means.
With such a tariff as this, there would
be no injustice to any one whether
rich or poor. The result would ap
proximate the plan of direct taxation
in which all would contribute in pro
portion to their means. The poor
would contribute according to their
means and the rich according to
theirs. Far the larger portion of the
amount needed, would come from the
rich and the ample means of that class
between the rich and poor. Could
any reasonable man object to this.
The present protective tariff absolute
ly forces the class, of moderate means,
to protect the interests of the rich
manufacturers. This is the reason
why the people are clamoring against
the present tariff and are coming to
gether in the South and West, and,
also, in the North and East, against
it. They are right and are more
closely associating and combining to
repeal it. The democratic party is
the party of the people and it is bound
to succeed.
All the arguments of the high tariff
men are utterly fallacious, and will be
repelled by the suffering people. They
are told that competition lowers the
factory goods, but competition in free
trade England, lowers goods too, but
still in that country, they are much
lower than in the United States, for
while competition in this country will
lower them, they are still much dear
er than they are in England, because
the high duties of our tariff excludes
English goods, and while competition
lowers them in America, the high du
ties of our tariff are added to the
American goods and they continue
high in spite of the home competition.
The American manufacturers know
this and that is the reason why the
Morrison bill has failed in all the ef
forts to pass it. Besides, some dem
ocrats have aided the republicans in
their efforts to defeat the just reduc
tion suggested in the Morrison bill.
The high tariff men said that the
Robert J. Walker bill, to reduce the
tariff during Mr. Polk’s administra
tion, would ruin all the manufactur
ing interests of the United States.
Still it passed and other reductions
were made from time to time, until in
Mr. Buchanan’s administration the
duties averaged only 19 per cent.
Now the duty averages 45 per cent.
Our country was never in a higher
state of prosperity than during the
administrations of Polk, Pierce and
Buchanan, and never in a lower state
of prosperity than it is now. The cry
of depression and ruin was made in
Secretary Walker’s time, and no ruin
followed. Now we. have the highest
tariff ever known to the country and
financial and business troubles, pre
vail throughout the limits of the
Union. The high tariff is the chief of
the causes of present troubles, and
they will continue until it is reduced
to the revenue standard.
Mr. Gladstone’s Brochure.
It contains 58 pages. He says that
Parliament cannot serve as a possible
legislative instrument for the Irish;
favors the demand of the Irish mem
bers and goes in for Scotland to have
a parliament. He gives a history of
his views for years, always for Ire
land. He waited till the time for ac
tion came, criticises the policy of his
opponents, says the recent action is
not refusal, but slow action showing
a deep feeling in British hearts for
Irish rights. What we have seen of
the Brochure presents Mr. Gladstone
in the grandest light of his life. It
will give hope to the Irish heart, it
will touch the noblest chords of the
English soul. Grand! wonderful old
statesman! It will add new and ex
quisite tones to Erin’s Harp, and en
rich English thought with the grand
spirit of reform and justice to the op
pressed. He shines in a new strength
of virtues, and talents, and glorious
maxims, that will excite the continent
of Europe, and free America, to sing
peans of praise in his honor, andplace
his name first on the list of glorious
Britons. It will make the brave and
impulsive Irish and the noble Briton,
look wonderingly upon the halos of his
genius and fame. His tone is notthat
of dictation, but majestic, and cast in
the sublime model of moderation and
justice. If we can get a copy we will
make some extracts that should travel
with the stars in their courses, to be
kept for perpetual remembrance.

case of a little four year old boy. He
was bitten by the rabid dog August

places where the so-called mad-stones
were applied to the wound before the
virus had entered the system. In a
short time after the application, he
would cry at the sight of water and
become frantic. He would soon snap
at a playmate who might come to see
him. Physicians were called in but
too late. He barked like a dog and
gnashed his teeth and soon died.
OF THE DAMAGE DONE IN CHARLES
TON-MANY LIVES LOST AND MUCH
PROPERTY DESTROYED.
By the Sourthern Telegraph Company—Macon
Telegaaph Extra.
Charleston, September 1.—Short
ly after 10 o’clock last night an earth
quake of such violence as has never
before been experienced in this city
occurred. The whole city was shaken
violently, causing a heavy loss of life
and doing immense damage to proper
ty.
The city is one mass of wreck.
Streets are completely blockaded with
the debris of ruined houses, telegraph
poles, trees, wires, etc.
Vehicles of any kind cannot be driv
en through the streets, while pedestri-
anism is both dangerous and difficult.
The people have been in the streets
since the occurrence of the first shock,
wringing their hands and crying
aloud to God to save them.
Whole families passed the night
huddled together in open places, some
of them praying continuously.
IMPLORING DIVINE INTERCESSION.
Opinions differ as to the number of
shocks which occurred. Some assert
that there were only two, while oth
ers are positive that there were three.
A great many insist that there were
even more.
However this may be, the first was
the most severe and did the most dam
age.
There are a large number of build
ings wrecked, but it is impossible to
ascertain in the present state of ex
citement how many.
A CONFLAGATION STARTED.
Several of the wrecked house
caught fire and are still burning in va
rious parts of the city.
But no fears are entertained of the
fires spreading.
So far as learned, some 60 to 70 per
sons have been killed and wounded;
and it is feared that when a canvass
of the wrecked districts is made, this
number will be materially augmented
A FEW OF THE NAMES
of those who have either lost their
lives or received fatal injuries through
the destruction of their dwellings
have been ascertained and among
them are the following:
W. J. Lynch,
Dr. R. Alexander Hammond,
Mr. Ainsley Robinson, all white.
A majority of the victims are color
ed people.
It is impossible to give any estimate
of the loss to property at present, but
it is believed it will reach far up in
the millions.
The city is completely isolated, and
at present there is no means of either
entering or leaving the city.
ANOTHER SHOCK THIS MORNING.
At 8.25 precisely this morning an
other wave swept over the city, com
ing as the others did, from the south
east, and going in a northwest direc
tion.
By that time the people who had
been out in the public park and open
places all night had many of them re
turned into their houses to get cloth
ing and something to eat.
THE APPROACH OF THE QUAKE
was heralded by the usual rumbling
sound resembling distant thunder,
then it gradually approached, the
earth quivered and heaved, and in
three seconds it had passed away, the
sound dying out in the distance. This
is the only wave felt since 2.30 this
morning. It was not destructive.
All the destruction was done at 9.35
last night. The city is a complete
wreck.
dispersed by continued earthquake
shocks. Quite a panic was created
Not milch damage was done.
AT MONTGOMERY.
Montgomery, Ala., September 1.
—Violent shocks of earthquake were
felt here last night a little before nine
o’clock. The most massive buildings
shook. The motion was from north
to south, and created intense conster
nation. Reports from all parts of the
State show that the shocks were
general.
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Raleigh, N. C., September 1.—The
shocks lasted here for five minutes.
Walls werJ cracked, buildings rocked
violently. People fled screaming into
the streets. At Wilmington the shocks
were very severe. Reports from all
parts of the State show heavy shocks
and much excitement.
IN THE WEST.
Cincinnati, September 1.—Slight
shocks of the earthquake were felt
here last night, lasting several se
conds.
St. Louis, September 1.—The earth
quake lasted about twenty seconds
and was clearly felt all over the city.
Guests in the "hotels were frightened
and left their rooms.
Pittsburg, Sept. 1.—No serious
damage was done here or throughout
the State by the earthquake, though
the shocks lasted thirty seconds and
the swaying of buildings caused their
inmates to rush frantically into the
streets. In some parts the shocks
were severer than in others.
AT THE NORTH.
New York, September 1.—The
shock in this city occurred a few min
utes before ten o’clock and lasted ten
seconds. Buildings were perceptibly
shaken and in high buildings the vi
brations were sufficient to frighten
the inmates. No damage was done.
Reports received here show that the
“shake” was quite general. Charles
ton, S. C., seems to have been the
center of the commotion, and much
Anxiety was felt here as to the damage
done in Charleston, as telegraph com
munication was temporarily suspend
ed. The shocks were distinctly felt in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and
other Western and Northern States,
and with greater force throughout
the South. No shock was felt at
Omaha, Ogden or San Francisco. It
was very light at Chicago.

No man can mention twenty per
sons, even directly engaged in the
liquor traffic, who have left the city.
Almost the number thus engaged
prior to J uly 1st have embarked in
other and profitable enterprises, and
are content to acquiesce in the popu
lar verdict. Why should others, in
no wise dependent upon the traffic for
a livelihood, emigrate? They have
not done so, and any attempt to de
lude and misinform the public upon
these questions is so palpably mali
cious as to be unworthy of notice.—
Atlanta Capital.
Illinois Democratic Conven
tion.—This body condemned the pro
tective tariff, and heartily endorsed
the action of those democratic repre
sentatives in Congress who were faith
ful to tariff reform. The convention
condemned the prohibition movement
as “contrary to the fundamental prin
ciples of a free government.” All its
resolutions are such as have been uni
formly sustained by the Democratic
party, such as the "abrogation of all
laws which do not bear equally on
capital and labor, the rapid payment
of the public debt, equal rights to all
and exclusive privileges to none, the
use of gold and silver coins, and pa
per currency, convertible to coin on
demand.
The Pennsylvania Prohibition
ists.—The Prohibition convention, of
Pennsylvania, closed its work on the
26th ult. They nominated Charles S.
Wolfe for Governor, A. A. Parker for
Lieut. Governor, Charles S. Hawley
for Auditor, Gen. Jno. N. Emery for
Secretary of internal affairs, and Rev.
J. M. Palmer (colored) for Congress
man at large. It is stated that he di
vided the honors of the convention
with Wolfe. At the conclusion of one
of hig speeches the convention joined
in chanting the negro hymn, “Keep
in de middle of de road,” while Palm
er walked up the aisle and shook the
outstretched hands of scores of dele
gates. The platform is composed of
fourteen resolutions, nearly every one
of them long, This illustrated the a-
bility of the members to stand a great
deal without the aid of spiritual con
solation.
AT COLUMBIA, S. C.
Columbia, S. C.,September 1.—The
city was seriously shaken by an earth
quake last night, the first shock last
ing twenty seconds and occurring
about 9:45. The plastering was
shaken down in many houses and the
walls rocked. The sound was like
that of distant thunder. A large pub
lic meeting was stampeded. Several
persons were thrown to the ground
by the vibrations. Several lesser
.shocks followed the first severe shock.
Many chimneys were thrown down
and the walls cracked. Crowds of
people remained on the streets for
many hours. From all parts of the
State reports come in that several se
vere shocks were felt between ten and
eleven o’clock. It was a frightful vis
itation. It was the most violent
earthquake ever experienced in South
Carolina. No one was seriously in
jured.
RICHMOND, YA.
Richmond, September 1.—This city
was panic-stricken by several heavy
earthquake shocks last night, the first
of which was felt five minutes before
ten o’clock. Chimneys toppled over,
plastering fell and houses rocked visi
bly. Many people remained on the
streets all night. There was wild ex
citement among the prisoners in the
penitentiary, who attempted to burst
out of their cells. The guards failed
to quiet them. The fire alarm was
sounded and finally the local military
was called out. All sorts of terrifying
rumors pr6Vfti^^> # flud coustBrufl/tiou.
reigned supreme in the city for a
while. An immense crowd surround
ed the penitentiary, and it took some
time to allay the excitement. At half
past eleven o’clock, Governor Lee ar
rived and the trouble subsided. Re
ports from over the State show the
shocks lasted thirty seconds to three
minutes. No serious damage was
done.
AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, September 1.—Sever

The other kind of dear season is open

England takes the initiative. There

It is the prevalent habit to talk
about educating girls to become good

The Louisville Exposition was open
