Fkom various Democratic State*
complaints come suiting tliat the census
has been a collossal fraud. Truly the
administration of the Republican party
has been remarkable. Everything'
has been done to convert the machinery
government iuto a machinery
for the advancement of the Republican
parry.
The census authorities are <;uttiug
into pre1 ry bad <?rder. The census oi'
New Y >r? has bret; 'alien by '.he
municipal authorities and the p?pulation
is 11)7,214 mure than that re- j
parted br the Federal cen.-us. It is
strikingly strange that the Democratic j
States and cities have shown no in- {
crease in population since 1SS0, while j

gained enormously. Something is I
wro#g, a id fiere i* some very strong j
evidence i? .-how that Mr. Porter hts i
beou working for the welfare of the |
Republic iti party.
KfRinlfj Prier*.
The Xational Democrat iukes up the
usual articles of merchandise and
showi how the coats of living is in- j
creased by the McKinley tariff' bill.
Throughout the whole bill it will be
% . seen that the bill id a gigantic boom
for the trust.
The price of paints aud oil hare
been greatly increased. Linseed oil
his advanced, in the lust two years,
from i>S to 62 cents per gallon, and
under the present tariff bill vrill go
even higher, yet the manufacturers
themselves *ay tiier do not neeu pro-1
tection on these article*. j
Flannels go up about ten points.
Glass has been steadily rising since j
th* bill was tirst reported.
Canned <;oods advance from lo to j
25 per cent over the rate this lime last
year.
Druirs are likewise expected to ri?e.
Dry goods will make a decided
jump, especially fancy ^oads. Duties
have been rai?ed all the way frem 7 to
273A percent, and corresponding prices
mty be a peeled.
JBras< runs up about 20 per cent,
while ivory is taxed 50 percent against
tbe old tarifi' of 22 per cent, so ivory
will, of course, tin*.
Jersey cUth, ribbon*, velvets, French
underwear, 1 silk and wow! hosiery,
s wo*l cashmeres, are expected to advance
next year from 10 to 30 per cent.
The ordinary clothing worn;by men
andjwoinen will increase iti cost from
25 to 50 per ccntnure than under the
t . ? il*
oiu uinu.
The Odhqm Fraud.
The complaint* concerning the
fraudulent enumeration* are vetting
wor>e and worse. 'I he following on
tne subject will be interesting:
the basis of the official counts #o
iar, in about seren-eightu of the Supervisoiv
districts of the United States,
it appears that the population of the
country will fall under 63.COO,0(0, an
increase of only 12,500,000, ?r about
234 ner cent, since 1830. Deducting
^ from ihis increase 5.242,530, the number
of emigrants iHiided on our shores
f?ince 1880. it would make h natural
increase of 7,300,000, or 134 percent.
A UK MA UK ABLE FALLING OFF.
"The rates ?t natural increase in the
oitIV;ie n ren^u* was a- follows: 1800.
oo :'/> j?er i-fiM.; 1810, 35.0G |>er cent.: j
1.820, 31.4:> j?er cent.; 1S30, 30 06 per |

per cent.; I860, 24.40 per cent.; 1870,
V-w. J4.81> per cent.; 1880, 22.78 per cent, j
"The percentage in 1870 was largely
affected without doubt by the terrible j
destruction of life and the diminished
natural iticrea.se during the civil war, ;
but that during ilie ten year* or unexampled
pi :?ce and prosperity? frotn
KSSO t<> lsyO-ihe natural increase
should be hut 13.50 per cent, seems incredible.
An actual failing off 1'rim i
I'i'.rs per cent, to lo.oO per cent, since '
cannot easilr be accounted for.
HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR IT.
' Extreme tariff n formers might per- j
hap* accept Mr. Porter's figures and j
>ee in th?m a proof that the new lariffj
was prjssinjr tlie life out of ihe people. |
They might argue that a tax iucreasiutr
riu. of necessities 47 Der cent.
tends u> make it difficult for the poor
/ j to ui&rrr, thus inevitably compelling*
this country to look to foreign cmi/
^ration for a large part of its increase
J in numbers; Kut the simpler eypluSr*-*
nation i* th*; t le census of 1SD0 was
badly taken t'.at Congress ought to
see to it that \ new count is given."

It is like all of Gen Bration's niter- j
ances, well studied and full of wise 1

counsel and thought. Knowing Gen. J
Bratton as well as we do, we are con-!
lident that all he savs in to-day's issue
comes from an honest heart and is expressed
for the best interest of our j
State and county, free from all per-1
sonal prejudice and venom. Ills words j
are always words of wisdom and his j
acts I he acts of a patriot, ms news, j
expressed in his letter, are die same {
contended fur bince the beginning of
the unfortunate war of strife and of
cla?s against c!as?, and.by his peculiar
faculty of foresight he fore*a"? the developments
of to-day. years a^o, and
gave ihe alarm. IIi8 judgment, therefore.
now that the crisis as predicted
has actually come, should command
the respect ?f every fair-minded and
infplljirpnt. citizen.
He declined to speak because, as we j
understand bis letter, the call comes to i
him from a faction who are in "the j
sam-i pit with the Iiask?.*ll men, and it
i "would be construed a% condoning
and, perhaps, endorsing a bolt, pure
and simple, from the Democratic party
of our county."

future lies in the maintenance of our i
party organization and thut it is 'the

No one with a j.purk id moral justice

J nil. (I . Lylrs. Ks<].. St ml her. S.
Dkau Sii:?I received an invitation
*/-. tlm eif Ksiirlifild
at "Winnsbero on the 27th of October
signed by yourself u- "County Chairman,
F. C.'"While
1 thank v?a for the distinguished
honor and assure you that it i?
justly appreciated, it is with sincere
and peculiar regret that I feel constrained
to decline. A response on my
part to such a call would be construed
as condoning and. perhaps, endorsing
a bolt, pure and simple, from the
Democratic party of our c?unty.
Either would be incompatible with
my private convictions or the views to
which I have recently given public
expression all over the State.
True, 1 was unable to impress fjicm
ou our people: to gain for my warning?
of danger and foreshadowing?
of the very evils that arc now upon us
that timely consideration wl^ich alone
could save us from them.
They were, and are still, the convictions
of my judgment calmly and
earnestly exercised, are honest, free
from taint of personal or partisan ends
and true to the best interests of the
Democratic party, to the honor of the
Sta'e and the welfare of our people.
An I. as such, my own respect.at least,
for them is not diminished by recent
If I anted on them
i M'hon they were mere individual opinions
and, therefore, questionable, on
S what ground can 1 abandon them now
j since they have been re rifled and
| become unquestionable facts? The
! sound integrity of our party is imi
paired beyond the probability, and.
perhaps, the possibility, of repair or
remedy. The tendency to the overthrow
of constitutional authority, the
observance of which is the only bond
i that can bind intelligent. Democrats, of

| people, ostensibly and *'fallarioushj"
j for class purposes but really for personal
and partizan ends lias reached its
legitimate result. We are new enacting
"the political suicide of a split."
Your bolt was the opening scene in
this tragedy. You and those associated
wiih you achieved the distinction
of making here in Fairfield the tirst
breach in the ranks of the Democracy
in this State. Your revolt against the
lawful and recognized Democracy of
our county and organization ef another
party were instigated by purely partisan
purposes and a deliberate preconcerted
plot to destroy it if found
necessary to their accomplishment.
Failing to capture our constitutional
organization with utter disregard of
your party obligations and no consideration
whatever for the true interest
of our county and its people, you,
in your blind partisan zeal, formed
your independent array relying on
partisan power outside to sustain you
in your reckless, suicidal action.
Your claim to recognition a* Democrats,
or as oilier than bolters or independents,
can be traced to no lawful
authority of the constitutional Democracy
of Fairfield, but is llie reward
claimed by you and accordea to you
by an arbitrary partisan majority outside
of the county for headlong, inconsiderate,
partisan service inside. Your
organization i> a present to us from
outside and there i? the shadow of the
"Trojan Horse" on it. Your imposition
on us, our County Democratic
organization, \ras the introduition in

our Democratic fold. The more it is
accepted by our people the greater the
havoc will be; and there can be uo
security for our rights and liberties
or hope for the ability to control our
own affairs until it is cast out from
among us.
But the evils of this first breach in
the ranks of the Democracy are unhappily
not confined to our countv. The
dictatorial exercise of unlawful potter
; rt q'iired to meet your demand on the
panisan majority of the tftate Convention
to convert your palpable Independentism
into regular and ineritori|
ou< Democracy has exposed to view

i'or its safety was excited and a manly
protect treated with arrogant contempt
lias become a bold and earnest independent
movement to check the incursions
of the wolf, 10 resist the assaults
of the brute force of a majority on
constitutional authority. In the pres1
ent statu* of the State organization, if
i iimnedi;>tc resistance is necessary, an
independent movement is necessary as
the only possible means by which it
can be made.
The State Democratic organization
was captured by the Farmers' Movement
organization, and though their
control from the outset was made by
nn intolerant nrrotrauce towards the
minority $uch as no brave military
conqueror would exhibit to captives in
war, and hy acts of lawlessness and
usurpation, in contempt of Democratic
authority and Democratic officials,
their title to pessession lias beer: made
Ie?aK by the action of our official?.
When they, for what they deemed the
best interests of the party and State,
and in the hope of allaying strife and
t-eeunnsr harmony, made a formal
kin render of their charge, they transferred
the authority of the party to

Possession is now held by both conquest
and regular chain of title, and
me Irbv Committee represent the only
Dtinociatic State party that we have,
and the nominees of the September
Convention are the only regular Democratic
candidates tor State officers.
It is unfortunate that those in control
seem to attach more importance
to their claim by conquest than to
winning a legal titl?, lor to this may
be attributed their exercise of power
as conqueror* rati er than :i? citizens

The result of it ail is thnt \vc hare the
anomaly of an ind?*peiii.l<?nr movement
against the conduct of the Slate Democratic
organization tor, what ilie moveis
hi-lifve to be, the very 1 i:"e ot" true
Democracy.
The "Farmers' Movement" on the
extreme was an effort to save true
Democracy by assailing1 its organiz
ation, ana uie result so iu.r m us success
is not calculated to inspire confidence
in the conservative eflect of another
attacic on the organization from
the extreme. Where is the partv if its
organization is destroyed? We ha!
more sound democracy, aim truer io
principle, in the State up to -70 than
since, but it was utterly incapable of
effecting good, any positive good until
[ it was organized. It seem-to me the
part> of conservatism to maintain the
j authority of the organization even to
j the extent of enduring irregularities
| and violations of its constitution at least
v
until an effort can be made wiihin the
party limits to correct them?every b <>!t,
nowever meritorious its purpose,
weakens the organization, impairs its
authority and power to correct error
or do good. Xo bolt is justifiable until
it become necessary ror the public
good:? destroy the party.
To y*itr holt and organization here
in Fail field, the first breach in the
Democratic line and the consequent
stretch of power by the. t>tate Convention
in its elfn t to thiotile and wipe
out lite regular constitutional Democracy
of a county and impose your
Independenti.-m on it as its Democratic
orgttHizatiou may be attributed
primarily and mainly the possibility
oi such an anomaly a* no.v exists in j
the State.
In our county no Independent movenient
is needed to save true Democracy.
It is only necessary for our
people to stand by their regular Democratic
organization which is still ia
existence, meeting arrogant assumptions
wit' the contempt which they
deserve a.id quietly maintaining its
principles. It* colors, around wliick
we have all rallied with a common
zeal and ardor, aad which we in solid
array hare borne so proudly and
irresistibly to results of inestimable
benefit to our county and ourselves,
are still tiring quietly but as proudly
and as worthy an emblem of liberty
as they ever were before any att?mp
was made by the brute force of an
outside majority to dishonor and de" rfldft
them. Thev have never been
?
furled or surrendered to unlawful
assumptions of authority outsid# or
inside of our comity, and I trust never
will be?thcv may go down in a utoria
of passion and be trampled in the dust, j
but it "trill be the dust of our ruin,
.^o long as they are upheld, there is * I
pleading appeal frem the *ystes? of J
degrading and brutalizing partisan |
strife and a call to duty which is a |
veritable bugle-blast of Liberty sum- j
naoning the true sons of Fairlield to
her service. They are to be found on
both sides of the line that unfortunately
divide# us. Those of us who
carried away by ardor and zeal for the
candidates of their choice abandoned
them have it in their power now to
render inestimable service to their
county and themselves by obeying
such summons. And now, that the
object of their bolt, the nomination of
their candidate, is accomplished, how
couici nicy oeuer jjrvjiivLc ms ciccuwn j
than by securing1 Democratic harmouv.!
Those of us wlif> have stood hy our ;
old colors can with a clear conscience i
yield to the partisan majority of a
State Conveniion on a question ot
nomination*, but they cannot without
violence to their consciences, ?ubmil
to the actioj of mch a majority in the
matter of our local wrganization. It
was framed and adopted by us (if for
one purpose more than another it was)
to restrain partisan strife and in fact
. settle it. And so effective is it an
asrencT for that purpose, that strife
cannot be pushed to a pernicious ex-1
tent as Jong as its constitution is re- j
spected, and rules and regulation* are
complied with. In a word it requires
a bolt to stir strife to the extent of
seriously affecting the interests of our
county and wellare of our?elves. It
we thould abandon it and concede to
the t>tat? Convention the power to
change for partisan purpose.* our
county organization, its stability and
usefulness will be destroyed and it
will become a mere mischievous agency
for reckless, unscrupulous, and defeasing
partisanship.
Our stable old constitutional qrgam-1
zation is our only hope for the rescue I
of our county from distracting discord i
and ruin. Respectfully \oura,
John Buatton*.

To the Farmer^ Alliance and Industrial
Union.
Brethren: In view of frequent, systematic,
false, malicious ana slanderous
attacks made by an unscrupulous,
partisan and subsidized press upon the
otficcrs, members and methods of the
Alliance, and, while it is o>ten?iblv j
done to expose some wrong doing, the
real animus is u> injure and break i
down the influence of the Alliance, j
and after careful consideration, your j
executive committee hare prepared j
the following circular, which we ask j
the secretaries of the State Alliance to
forward at once to all locals for their
j information and aciion. If systematic
, and concerted action is taken we shall
not be troubled long with this cla?s of
abuse:
Whereas it has become clearly trident
that certain papers of the partisan
press of the country hare been
subsidized br corrupt power for the
purpose of defeating (he ettorts ana
purposes of the great farmer's movement
; aud
Whereas it is al*o clearly apparent
that one of the methods to be employed
is to traduce and slander the officsrs
and other proaainent and influential i
members of our rder, with the view
of destroying the confidence of the
membership in their appointed leaders
and friends; aud
Whereas this cowardly uiodu of warfare
is urged against the*e brethren,
however true and loyal they may be,
whatever their character as men and
as citizens: aud.
Whereas many of these slanderous
papers live and move ainl have their
beingin the support of the farmers,
the men whom they wculd thus tra-;
uuce ana ueieat; una
Whereas, while we should respect
ar.d defend the freedom ?f the press
only so far as that freedom shall be
exercised on the side of truth and good
government, and fchontd condemn it
when employed an an engine of cor?
ruption: therefore, be it
licsolcedy That we earnestly recommend
and urge the brotherhood
throughout the country to note carefully
smd constantly the attitude of
the press toward u-j, and when any
paper, by vicious and malicious rait*
represeoia ion of any ofliecr, of whatever
rank, from the iowest to the high
est in our order, or any member of!
the same, or by unfair methods against j
our order, shall seek to impair our
strength or unity, thai any and all
such papers shall no longer receive in
any manner the countenance or support
of members of our order. }
Jicsolced further, That when any j
bady of our order shall decide to with-!
draw cr withhold its support from any
such paper it should by proper methods
notify any and all advertisers who
suck their patronage through the advertising
columns of said paper that
they will withdraw and withhold their
patronage from all such advertisers.
Jin.-ich-cd, That the President, be rej

one for ea".li subordinate body of
i our order, and forward the required
number for each State to the respec

A Good Word for Mr. Tillman.
Mr. Tillman is & magnanimous <
claiiner. lie claim* that ninety per <
cent, of the white men of the State
will vote tor him in November; and
he assert* in a tone ?f modest sincerity
that three thousand colored men in
Edgelield County will'do likewise.
The chosen candidate of a secret
innfa. hr> tell-: us with, denlorable Da- I
J ~~~" * 4 * I
triotisw that tbe Alliance ought not to :
go into politic?, mid that lie hesitated
about jroi ng to Gntfney, out of a decent
regard for the appearance of
things. * j
No! Mr. Tillrnan, do not deceive
yourself. Your rnodeftv and simplicity
commends you to our good j
opinion and we feel constrained to tell
you tlr.t there are thirty thousand :
white men in South Caroliua who will ;
never v*te for you. They arr wise,
courageous and manly men, who will
rise ?bove the behests of party and (
vote agaiust you, lor the good of their
country. They will despise the vain 1
counsels ?f the interested politicians
wh? now tuupon you, and the perfunctory
advice of a public press,
given over t<? subserviency ot thought.
Willi ibe help ol the colored vote
which you nave per?isi^mir and ,
wanton'c iuniltrd they will \ou
at the pi-iU
Still Tk??y Come.
The la-t blander which Mr. Tiliinau
ha> I'ulininateil ayon.*t the people
w hoi* l.e i* ? <> aiixioti- to govern i?i
lnat ;h?* managers of election will L?e
baM; i*iiou<f:i t-? -full' the ballot buxe>
with trati-hileiit. ballot.-, and count him
out; and that this wi: 1 bt? done in per
Miance of "a conspiracy formed prior j
to ihy >?'ptetiiber Convention by wliich I
the I'lrr.iiou machinery was placed !
into ihf hands of the atiti-Ttllmat) j
wing ui tlic party." We are curiou* I
to know u i.at tln>?e Stnu?htouts who
"caution aquiascence" will think of j
this lust vulvar imputation upon the |
integrity of our people.
Tne hour has miely arrived in the
politics of our country when every
vote tnust consult his own conscience.
We cannot support Mr Tillman because
we are unalterably opposed to
the blind cretd of his party, which we
believe to be subversive of the plainest
principles of civil liberty. We cannot
support him because we think that he
has demonstrated his persona! uulitnuss
for the high office to which he
a-pires, by every word which he has
uttered irom the March Convention to
the Gall'iiey speech; from his first
exhibition of robust egotism, t? his
last wicked charge of business against
the managers ot the election.
lie has belittled the history of the
State, and published to the world
groundless charges of venality and
fraud, against our own people, in season
and out of sea?on and in shame
less defiance of common decency and
public boner.
The newspapers suppress it, and the
politicians deplore it, but It is a fact
ail the same that the Haskell movement
is growing every day.
The news from Democratic headquarters
in Columbia from every i
county in the State, indicates clearly j
that the ticket will be elected by an ;
overwhelming majority. Mr. Tillman
contributes to its success every time
that he speaks.
The meeting called by Irbv commit-1,
tee lor tkis county or yesterday was a
sort of "a flash in the pan." Jt was
poorly attended. A lew men urned
oat in red <dii"N hut they looked lonetome.
Mr. lrby call looked u; jh at 1
an appeal to the enthusiasm ri the
people was a first-clais failure.
The Tilimanites get but cold comfort
from Gen. Bratton's letter.
By the way the whole posse cometutus
of them did take a gorge of
"humble pie" when they called on
Brattou and Hampton to help them.
An Old Sore Healed.
I had a painful, annoying sore on
mr leg-, near the knee, that troubled I
me for over two years. I tried various !
remedies, but the sore, instead of
healing up, continued to grow larger,
and to cause ine more pain until I
began to look for a crutch. Through
the advice of a friend, who was curcd
of a similar trouble, I took S. S. S.,
ani in a few weeks was cured entirely.
The sore healed up, and there is net
even a scar left to mark the place.
