Tlic Democratic Party, Not a .Meek anil Submissive Ass-If Protection I Helps tbe Northern Farmer it Will be Advantageous to the Nontbern | Planter. f Yorkvllle Yeoman. i There has been a good der.l of wind wasted through the State papers in abuse of AleLaurin on account of his recent speech BugI eest'.ng a tariff on cotton, the Greenville News In its hanghty grandeur refusing to dls| cuss tbe issue while condensing, and tbe Hnllimhia Pooiofoi1 hnhhlincr in oHnlatlnn over Congressman Stokes, who makes a very good speech, full of true Democratic doctrine. But the critics are all wide of the mark. It Is strange to see bow wide of tbe mark they are. McLaurln never proposed to make protection a part of the Democratic faith, and no one of his critics wbo asks himself the question fairly can say so. It is ignoring tbe truth of McLaurin's proposition. "Tbe children of tbe world are wiser In tbelrdayand generation than tbe children of light," the Master has said, which being interpreted into everyday parlance Is to say. "It 1s no use to but your brains out agalngt a brick wallit is of no benettt to the brains and no harm to the wall. Every Democrat who has Judgment enough to conduct business without a guardian knows that the Republicans are In power aDd that a high tariff is a part of the party policy of the Republicans, and that It Is tberelore reasonable to presume tbat a high tariff will become law. This much granted, is It treason to Democracy for her sons toendeavorto equalize the burdens of this legalized robbery, is It treason for Democrats to make an effort to compel the perpetrators of the evil to bear a part of the heavy load? Or on the contrary would It enlarge t the degree of our patriotism to make of the " Democracy a meek and submissive ass to carry the ReDubllcan load? We put a high ) value on our patriotism, our regard for the doctrine of eqnal rights and for the star i spangled banner that waves asan emblem of ' human liberty, but we confess freely that our patriotism has not reached so sublime a de| gree as that indicated by the course of some of our estimable contemporaries. Why not i looktthe inevitable In the face ? We see what everyday common sense tells us is a certainty. Why try dodge It? Is is not wise to ) take a foregone conclusion and make the best of it, to adopt lis evils so tbat they bear upon i us with less rigorous orueliy? We think so. It is our duty to do it. Why should we by our stubbornness make the Impoverished farmers of the South pay a tax to the trusts on tbelr cotton ties and bagging while we Jet the binding twine for the pensioned babblers of the North come in free? II the products of the ice and stone bound States of New } England can be Increased in value by tariff duties, why not increase the price of cotton f along with them ? We say let the burdens be equal, be theylever soheavy. Equal taxation is truest democracy. NINETY-SIX NEWS. * Eanter Services ? Returning Home ? All Moru. Ninety-Six. S. C., April, 19.1897. Tbe Easter services beld at tbe Methodist cburcb last Sabbath were very pretty. The day dawned beautifully clear and bright, not one cloud arose on tbe horizon to mar the blue canopy above. St. Paul's church have been appropriately decorated for this joyous occasion. Llllles and evergreens were beautifully lnter-twined, forming a most pleasing picture. Not only was this a celebration of the Resurrection Day, but also tbe anniversary of tbe Ladles Missionary Society. The pastor preached the anniversary sermon, taking for a text, Mark 14th chapter aod first clause of 8ih verse: "Sbe bath done what she could." This able discourse was replete with beautiful sentiments on tbe great possibilities of Chrlstaln women. The Easter 2 anthem was rendered with much sweetness and expression. Sunday evening at 8 o'clock >, the Juvenile Society entertained a crowded house with sweet songs and recitations. Rev. M. M. Brabham addressed the society and as usual, gave an Interesting, earnest talk. We hear Dr. Perrln Anderson, of Sherman, Texas, Is coming back to his native State.
