Wednesday, June /, 1892.
Time brings its revenges. The
Alliance forced Tillman to swallow
the Sub-Treasury, and he will enjoy
the spectacle of seeing the Alliance
swallow Cleveland, and the platform
of tin* National Democratic party
Of course Mr. Tillman will have to
take the same dose, but this need not
hinder him from enjoying the pleas
ure of seeing other folks gulp it
down.
If, as alleged by the Register, the
News and Courier sold some of its
space, to the straightoats, during the
last campaign, was not that a great
deal more honorable than for a man
to sell himself and advocate polijical
ideas that he knows, if carried out,
would be very disastrous to the farm
ers and every one else. And yet this
is exactly what the editor of the Reg
ister has done.
Why did the Cotlon I’lant omit
from its report of the State Conven
tion the resolutions pledging allegi
ance to the Democratic party'' Possi
bly the Cotton Plant does not re
member that such resolutions were
adopted.—Newberry Herald and
News.
For the simple reason that the edi
tor of the Cotton Plant never pub
lishes anything that can bo construed
into a criticism of himself or the ub
surdities in which he pretends to
believe.
Our farmers are going into polit ics,
and with the ballot will secure that
relief they have so long appealed for
in vain. They intend henceforth to
do less plowing and more thinking.—
Columbia Register.
A man can think very easily while
ho is plowing his crop, and if he
stops work in order to think, lie it
ever such profound thinking, he is
in a fair way to starve, unless he en
croaches on the sjieeial prerogative of
the editor of the Register, and makes
a living by the saeritiee of principle
and the habitual practice of slander.
Among other things he said:

him to prove that they are true.
