Si l?> t&e-People of South Carolina : 'Hie Executive Committee of the Farae?' Association, feeling that His incumbent upon them, as the represen " % ?ti v?s vf the organised farmers ef the ? Stat?, to "oatlisie a policy of retrench? ment and reform in consonance with the ?nus and parp?se* or the armers more- j ment, an? ta explain the grounds upon [ >: which ve shall as? the support ac? aid [ i'-c a#?ar Pemoeratic fellow-citizens rn the j coming electios, would call the earnest attention persona in sympathy "wi th" oar aspirations for agricultural ed //?a?ioo- and a wore economical and efi- . : ' etea* government to the faets an? rea-j ?: -nona here? set forth. j ^ ^ Wee?ais eniy esr jost share of eda- j 1 eauona? advantages for the agricultural j and industrial ; classes, and that the 1 tame shalt be placed within the reach ? of.the average farmer's son, and net, as j isVnevr the case? ve be compelled to j - sopport only such institutions as ate j 4 ? inaccessible to most farmers, and which ! , do not furnish the cheap and practical ^-^4dceadon-' needed. We make no war - npea the South Carolina University as a place for obtaining a scientific and classical education, and reiterate oar .desire to see the South Carolina College - fiheraSy supported, and to become a real university, worthy of oar State. But we assert without fear of successful ^^contradiction that farmers cannot be educated ia a eity and remain farmers ; and that in all efforts to mis practical ' and literary training* the first has been overshadowed; the agricultural stu? dents have been few, and the attempt an utter failure. The demand for better facilities-for ] -. cheap and practical education for farm- j ers has beec heretofore refused os the j plea o?.expense, and the opposition has j ?ot hesitated to scare the taxpayers} with largely exaggerated estimates of*; the "probable cost of a seperat? >agricul- ? ;'.:^;-'tora| college. With consama*ate cnn- : ^ ning and unblushing ioeoasisteney<they i have taken advantage of the agkatioa j for-a separate agricultural college to build up that wonderful ten students j .annex,'and, wbi?e crying oct against j . .deception of plant and teaching force, j " "aawe" actually increased the tax beyond ' .what ?he farmers' association thought of asking for. Not satisned with rob? bing the industrial classes' of the ben- j e2ts cf the *!and scrip' fund, they have j stretched forth their greedy hands and j grabbed the Hatch fund also; and a j State which two years agoxwas too poor j to\sapport any experimental staion at ! ail now supports three, with the?F du- j pSeated attaches, thus frittering and i wasting the funds appropriated for sci- j - endue investigation. ?rt?$85 the Uni- j versify, including Clafiin and the Cita- ? del had an income cf about $50.000, j and the Trastees e&rmed thai, as then cocstheted, rt afforded all the practical j training for farmers needed by the ; State. Tts income is now approximately j $97,000 per annum, but "as an agrien I- ; tura] school it is a bigger and more : costly deception. But while our efforts to obtain a rec- j ?gaition of our rights a-ad needs have I hitherto failed to secure .a coUege for] . educating farmers, fortune -has unex? pectedly -smiled on us. The munificent bequest of Mr. Clems aa, whose affec? tion for bis adopted State and wise in? sight haSTemoved the great stumbling block in the way of providing a suitable the and farm for the college, gives us the coveted opportunity. By this be? quest not only do the farmers come in possession of property valued at well nigh ?100,000, tnt also of an esraie eminently suited for the purposes.for which it is given, a?d hallowed by the sacred memories of CacoLba's greatest statesmae. Wc have the au? thority of Oener al Stephen D. Lee for saying that ?100 000 is ajnple for building and equipping a school like tho Mississippi College. Without counting anything donated by Mr. Clemson except the Calhoun homestead, we propOie to show how the needed money ean be obtained without increas? ing the taxes one single dollar; and while many have believed that ?be Building of a separate agricultural col? lege was and is the only vital issue re? presented by the fanners' movement, we shall call attention to other reforms which we deem of equal cr greater im? portance. The purchasing power of money is much greater than it was ten .years ago. The tsri-pr-ying power has not increased at alt. while the price of our maia money crop-co+ior.-has hov? ered very near the cc st of pro-iucticn. The redaction of ex pend it urea, when possible, must then appeal to the com? mon sense as well as the pockets of cur people, and no good reason can be given whj salaries io our State should rea?io ?xed higher than io North Car? olina and Georgia-both larger and wealthier States. We invite the care Hl attention of taxpayers to the follow? ing tig a res T taken from the Com pt roll em* reports of the three States : .y. c. s. c. i 887. 1886.

Without going into figures, we take it for granted that our Lunatic Asylum and penitentiary are managed in just as extravagant a scanner as the other de? partments-the one proving a great burden to the taxpayers and the other yielding no income, though it might be made ?to pay at least ?40.000 a year to defray the expenses of the gavern-ment. We have shown that ?45,000 can bs sa ved.if the same basis of expenditure a as tn North Carolina be adopted. t The privilege tax on fertilizers \ amounts to over ?30,000 yearly. The j work done by it- can and ought to ?be \ done by the agricultural college. Here, ? then, is ?75,COO to build and equip the c college, without either touching Mr. t Clemson's money or resorting to new t taxation. If, then, we leave the Uni? versity the $34,500 now appropriated ( and the tuition fees and relieve it of the 1 ( expense of attempting to educate farm- , ers and mechanics .in zn uncongenial.; j atmosphere, it can accomplish its needed work in a more efficient manner and be the better for getting rid of these bones of contention ; while after the-Cleaison College is built, we have the following income without looking to the tax-pay? ers at ail, it and the experimental sta? tions : Landscript Fund .... $ 5,750 Hatch Fund.15,000 Privilege'Tax-say . . ". 30,000 Totai |50,75C With this sum we can keep up an ? 1 excellent agricultural school at Fort j ; Hill, worthy of-South-Carolina, worthy ? 1 "bf Calhoun, ?nd last, .but not .least, \, worthy of Mr. -Clemson. i>ut there are ? ? also other reforms and economies im - I, perattvely demanded before we can lift ? the burden cf taxation to any marked J degree. We have too much and too j .hasty iegisiatioa, and we believe it j, would be economy and wisdom to have j our Legislature meet biennially instead j of^aonaalry, as at present, and to change J1 the date of its session. That the bur-[ dens of taxation are not equally borne j, is too evident, and those taxpayers who ?, >a?e coses* .in their returns are griev- j custy imposed on. Governor Uagood j, : long since, pointed out that our county j governraeats are both inef&cient ?and j ! extravagant, nearly a.3 much being ! I speot on them now as in Radical days j j We are handicapped and cut off from j ; 3ny improvement along that line by car ' ! B.adicai institution, while our very ex- ? j istenee as a free people is jeopardized ! j by the ignorant horde of voters watch- I j ing and praying for a split in oar rat>ks '! j We earnestly arge tho importance and ! necessity .of a constitutional conven-tion j to secure cecf'ed eccscmy in county af- ? i fairs, the abc-iiiioo ot useless offices, and I j * j to throw stronger safeguards around the j citadel of wh-rto .supremacy before the ; [seeds of diseor-d suail sprout and grow. ] I To accomplish all this our people must i I arouse themselves fmm their lethargy i ! and take a more intelligent and active j ! intercrest ic political affairs. And here j we would warn them to see to it that a ; j set of greedy p'olu?ciaos and office-seek- j j ers shall not again, 33 ia past years, j j nominate a State ticket out-of-baod, j t without having a canvass, or eveu au j : expression of sentiment, r,n the?c and j j other important issues. Public discus- j ! sion is not only the best means of edu- j feating the classes, but is also thc chief |,safeguard of our liberties and the only | j guarantee of our rights. In behalf, j j then, of the farmer.!, whoa wc repre- i j seor, und as one of the best meaos cf j : bringing abou? these reforms, we insist ! ! on a canvass hy those rt is to contrai j i the State i-ovemment during the next ; i two years before they are nominated, so ; we cass know just hew they stund. Rec- ; ogL'izing the ability of thc present in- j cu m bents, cud in na wise intending to J eas* a:iy reiJectkurs upon them, we yet ! feel that if they seek renomination, they j could spend so-tue of i heir leisure during 1 the .summer i?r?st; proStab?y in discuss- i ing before t'titir constituents these and any other questions of public*interest. ; Xii us they can ?ltow wherein we ate . wrong if they disagree with UH, or ^ive i us the advantage of their approval, if-j t,hey approve. See to it th: 11, fellow- | citizens, those of you who syajpathize with our objee's and ai?ns, that, no tricks be plsyed upes u* in the May convention. Farmers' are too busy to j give much thought to tbfir public du- ! ties. 33ut they eau a:?d should at leass j demand, and .thos will obtain. th* right j to select their officials knowingly, and .make no more leaps in the dark. But in the end the whole matter, i both of establishing the agricultural j college and of .making the much needed j reforms and economies io the State j government rests with the coming Leg-} istature. Our experience with thc' one j just Adjoaroed teaches os to beware of j demagogocs aod fence-straddlers and ' weak-kneed individuals without firm? ness of character or any convictions- of their own. We would therefore advise and urge the absolute importance of se? lecting candidates of firmness and ca? pacity, and of requiring them to define and explain their positions. If a can? didate is too good or too uofked to pledge himself to any line of policy de? manded by the people, he can and: should be left at home ; and when a candidate, after having pledged himself and been elected, breaks that pledge, as: did a goodly number in tho last Legis? lature, he is no longer worthy the con? fidence and respect of au y intelligent voter. Appealing, then, to the good sense and patriotism not of farmers alone, but of all classes of OUT people, to aid us in our efforts to secure equal justice and gqual advantages to all, and to purify and elevate our politics, and to bring j about a more economical and efficient government in State and county.
