FOOD FOR REFLECTION.
Senator Morrill, in a speech made
in the Senate at the time of the adop
tion of the present High Protective
tariff, said that it was a "war mea
sure" and was only to be retained
"temporarily." How long a burden
some, unjust and absurd tariff must
remain in force before its "tempora
ry" character is served we are not
informed. Seventeen yearsafter it
was put in force it continues and pro
mises to continue indefinitely. The
Protectionists are united and have no
idea of allowing it to be curtailed in
any of its important protective fea
tures. The. Democrats are split up as
usual, and some advocate a measure
that plays directly into the hands of
the Protectionists, although protest
ing that they abominate the Morrill
tariff.
But in point of fact the present
tariff is not as it was when first
created. It contains 4,000 articles,
and many of them are taxed actually
higher now than they were in the be
ginning. The New York Times says :
"On most varieties of iron the duty re
mains unchanged ; on pig iron it has been
advanced from 60 cents per 100 pounds to
7QN3eate. On steel, lead and zinc it remains
the same. On copper in pigs and bars it
has been advanced from 2 cents to 5 cents
per pound; on copper rods from 35 per
cent, to 45 per cent. On varieties of wool
which then paid from 3 cents to 6 cents a
pound with from 10 per cent, to 11 per
cent, ad valorem duty, the rate is now 20
cents per pound and 35 per cent, ad valorem.
Varieties of plain glass which then paid 35
per cent, ad valorem, now pay a specific
duty which in 1880 amounted to 69 per cent "
Mr. Fessenden, an able Republi
can, gaid in 1864, as quoted by the
Times :
" The policy of the country, I take it, is
to get money to support the Government
principally from internal taxation, -and, to
a.0. ", exceedingly large degree, from manu
factures. The tariff is adjusted, and was
adjusted before, upon that simple principle
with reference to the internal revenue tax
ation." In 1864 the internal revenues were
$211,000,000. Of this vast sum
103,000,000 was derived, as the
Times shows, from articles that are
no longer taxed. It thinks that this
fact makes it obvious that there is
great reason for a revision of the
tariff that was intended, as Mr. Mor
rill said, as "a war measure," and to
be "temporary." Surely, seventeen
years is long enoughtto have such an
iniquity and burden resting upon the
people.
If you get rid of the taxes raised
by internal revenues, you will be sure
not to get rid of the war tariff. You
may have it, by 1884 or 1886, razeed
ltpon a thousand articles, but the
great sources of taxes by imposts
will remain in force. The Govern
ment has to be maintained and the
taxes have to be raised. If not raised
. bn tobacco and liquors, must they
not come from articles that are used
gjftarat the equnlyy?

'South's one dollar under the revenue
system. If you agree to repeal this

LET CRlftlE
A special from Lexington, S. C, says
that the death.sentence. ot Squire .Clark
colored, has been commuted to imprison
mnent for Ute He was to liaveoeen hanged
VesterdaVfor themurU&Mf fa white man
In nearly every State the pardon
ing .business is progressing at a 1
rate. We do hopeitne people win
yet seethe folly of, allowing one man'
to undoi the work of the courts, r As
sure as truth is mighty if there is not
an end put to this autocratic business
hangings by mobs will become ,of
weekly occurrence in the South. , Orie
of our State exchanges says nine
hangings by Judge Lynch have oc
curred in North Carolina since lst
May. If these figures are correct
then that is more than one a monlh.
Papers may say what they pleasn of
.the horror and dangers of mob law,
but in the present uncertain condi
tion of the courts, with nine chances
. . t -i Mi
in favor of a villain's escape to ope
that he will he punished to the fullest
extent, when a great crime like rape
or murder is committed in a peaceful
community, the best men will take a
hand in giving the culprit a quick
and sharp exit to another wrorld.
Pardonings must cease or hangings
by mobs will continue, moralists to
the contrary notwithstanding. We
may deplore justly such acts, but
society must feel safe or the vengeance
of men will follow crime without fear
and without mercy.
One dastardly, horrible murder
perpetrated in a neighborhood such
as shooting a good citizen in his own
home or killing him on the highway
has been known to throw every
household into a condition of alarm
and no man felt safe at home or on
the road. The law seems powerless.
The pardoning power stands ready
to be exercised. The Judges and of
ficers of the county are ready to sign
a petition. People by -hundreds can
begot to ask for pardon instead of
demanding a life for a life. Is it
then to be wondered at that men thus
aroused and standing ir apprehension
of assassination at a time they know-
not when, should unite and taking
law into their hands send the villain
to the grave, untried, unshrivened and
unpardoned?
SCHOOL. BOOKS.
In the making of books, and school
books especially, there is no end. It
is true many excellent new books are
produced that are an improvement on
all that have gone before, but there
are hundreds that are published just
for the sake of money, and when
there is no need of them. A book
like Anderson's -'Ancient History,
First Part," is a blessing, because it
is done so faithfully and with a full
understanding of the latest and high
est authorities. But then every pub
lisher must have his "Ancient Histo
ry" also, and the result is the teach
ers, parents and school committeemen
are as apt to select some of the badly
done as the best.
There is a vast demand for school
books, and hence every Northern
publishing house has its series, and so
the country is flooded fairly with
good, bad and indifferent. The fol
lowing is an estimate of the multi
plicity of school books that we find
in the Providence (Rhode Island)
Journal:
"The number of higher arithmetics re
quired in the public schools of the United
States is 1,750,000; arithmetics, lower, 3,
750,000; algebras, 500,000; astronomies,
750,000, book-keeping, 500.000 ;copy-books,
15,000,000: composition books. 1.000.000:
etymologies, 500,000; geographies, 5,000
000; grammars, 2,000,000; histories, 2,000,
000; natural philosophies, 500,000; readers,
5,000,000; spellers and definers. 2,500,000.
The annual cost of school books to the
users is estimated at $5,000,000. As most
persons are aware, the change of text books
goes on continually, else publishers would
have no business. As soon as the pupil is
fairly grounded in one arithmetic, some one
discovers that the pupils will go astray if
the book is longer in use, and a new book
is introduced. This takes its turn to go
out as soon as another has been invented to
take its place.
A well qualified County Board,
who have no hope of gain and are
above suspicion, should be appointed
to select, after proper examination,
a full set of books. This examina
tion should extend through months,
and they should be paid well. Three
scholarly men in the course of !six
months might arrive at a satisfactory
solution of the matter. After these
works have been selected they should
in no case bo departed from until in
the lapse of years there is a necessity,
as in Geography and some other
branches to have new maps, &c, be
cause of the changes wrought in the
nations of the earth. The point is
to make good selections and then stick
to them.
It is a fact that some of the North
ern publishers, in order to introduce
their books, , have been known to
make special offers (bribes) to those

HOW HULL SPLIT

HIS
An Old Story oflhe Ffgnt Between tne
Constitution and tne Cnerrlere.
From the New York World.
The late Ogden Hoffman, who was
a midshipman with him, used to tell
an odd story of the engagement be
tween "Old Ironsides" and the Guer
riere. He said that as the ships drew
near to each other an officer came in
haste to Hull to ask for orders to
fire, "Not yet," was the quiet re
sponse. As they came still nearer
and the British vessel poured in her
fire, the Firsfcl4uenant of the Con
stitution came on the poop and -begged
permission to return the broad
side, saying that the men could not
be restrained much longer, "Not
yet," was the reply. Still nearer the
British ship came, and the American
prisoners who were in -the cock
pit of the Guerriere afterwards
said that tbey - began . to be
lieve that their own ' cotfntrTrien
were afraid to measure their strength
with the enemy, and this thought
gave them more pain than the wounds
which some of them were suffering
from. In aniament the Guerriere
gallantly came forward,, showing her
burnished sides, and as the swell
carried her close to the very muzzles
of "Old Ironsides, Captain Hull,
who' was then quite fat and dressed
in fujl tights, bent himself twice to
the deck, and, with every muscle and
vein throbbing with excitement,
shouted put: '?Ndw, boys, ppur it in-J
tp them." 1 hat i broadside . settled
their opponents, and when the smoke
cleared away their commander's
tights were to be seen, split, from
waistband-to- heel Mull, nothing
discpneerted,: gave orders with per
fect ccpjriess; -and .'only changed his
swerd was given up.

A Virginia Prodfxy In Arithmetic.
Page County (Va.) Courier.
A man by the name of Price, near
Alma, who is almost blind and who is
wholly uneducated and not at all
sprightly in other respects, is said to
be aole to solve almost any problem
in mathematics that can be given him
He uses no figures, but makes his cal
culations on his fingers. Mr. Hamp
ton, who is teaching in that neighbor
hood, gave him last week the'follow-
ing problem, which he solved quicker
than a good scholar present could do
by algebra: A man bought a horse,
buggy and harness. The horse cost
forty-eight dollars more than the
buggy and the buggy two and three
fourth times as much as the harness
and the harness one-seventh of the
whole sum paid. What was the
whole sum paid ? what did each cost?
He has no difficulty in working frac
tions, however complicated and intri
cate. Mr. James P. Graves informed
us that he once asked him what was
the third and the half pf pne-third pf
three and one-third and he was ready
with the answer almost as soon as
he had finished the question. He is
about 23 years old.
