TILLMJJISM IT WAS NEVER A SOCIAL QUESTION, SAYS L.JBY. The People, Disgusted with thc Rule of tue Bourbons, Organ ized and Finally Defeated theil Oppressors-Some Interesting Phases of the Struggle. [New York Tiraea.J LAURENS, S. C., September 30. The article which appeared ir. the Times some three weeks ago, entitled "It was a Social Revolt," and dated from Charleston, this State, has been widely read throughout South Carolina, and has been the subject of much comment, particularly among in telligent farmers. The article purports to give what is charac terized as the "true inwardness and spirit of Tillmanism." It ie said in criticisms of the letter that "Observer," by whom it is Bigned. reasons from false premises; through it is confessed that the subject is so ingeniously handled that the indictment is of more ?than ordinary interest. The Times' correspondent recently had a talk with Senator Irby, who is made prominent by "Observer" among the social revolutionists. He wa? very willing to give his versio?oi the question. The Senator's statement is ol speccial interest, as he is a descend ant of the bedrock families ol South Carolina, being closely related to the Earles and Thomp sons, who, with his own paople, are of revolutionary stock and have illustrated the history of thif State on the Hench, at the Bar and in the field. Senator Irby however, does not bank much on his ancestry or on anybody else'e ancestry as a "sole consideratior for preferment or elevation, a favorite social maxim with hin being that "a race horse that can'i run is a very poor piece of pro perty." "I propose to show, said th< Senator, "that there is no founda tion whatever for the reasoning oi argument that the. social questior entered at all into the the politica revolution which culminated ir the election of Tillman as Governo: of South Carolina in 1890, First as to the cauaes of the Tillmai Movement, so called. The politica history of the State up to 189( shows that it was ruled by ai oligarchy of which perhaps n< North?rn State can furnish ai example. This oligarchy ha^beei variously called the Ring, th< Bourbons, and more recently, and quite appropriately, the 'Conserva tives, in the original meaning o the term. Under whatever nam this regime was known, the votinj people-the gieat majority o them-saw some years ago that, s far as the holding of offices wa concerned, the Bourbons were ? privileged class, which claime high station and everr station b; an inalienable divine right to ruh This kind of government was colonial relic, . a system. one necessary,perhaps, but which ba outlived by a half century it usefulness or hescessity. It inigh have been tolerated for many yeai after 1890 but for certain issu which aroBe and which carried t heir logical and inevitable conch sion, brought about financii reforms, economic reforms, an swept away, with many goven ment abuses, the Boubons as a office-holding class. "Before the year 1890 tl farmers had asked their rulers fe an agricultural college. The requei was denied, but even this was nc the primary cause of the revol In my opinion, the true cause of tl unrest which pervaded the Stai for some years "before 1890 was system of commercial extortion < legalized robbery of the farming and, in general, the poorer class Y the money owners and mone lenders, in whatever form it wi loaned to the people, whether h bankers, private usurers, or cottc factors, This system began as earl as the close of the war. when tl Confederate soldier came home find that all was .lost, both on tl battlefield and his farm. In ord' to assist him in the struggle restore his fallen fortuness, to gi' him credit and standing in tl commercial world, the lien law w enacted. It was intended as ablee ing, but became a curse so pate? that in time the farming class cr if out against it as an infamou though silent oppressor. . "Merchants and bankers chargt outrageous rates of interest. Wi rates of 300per cent under the lit system arid 50 per cent charged 1 bankers and merchants, the farm waB taxed to deash, certainly to tl point where forbearance ceased be a virtue, and where revolt w the remedy, both in law and equit The farmers were growing poor everyday, and it was while t condition was about at its wor that Mr Tillman, who had bei through it all as a practical farine appeared above the horizon. I was a .farmer who had be cor bankrupt thcough the extortious the system I have but brief described. He found the people ri for and revolution that wou relieve them of their grievo burdens. Tillman became a polit cal factor in 1885, and one ye afteward the farmers and the friends organized themselves correct the evils from which th suffered. In this movement for s< protection the city merchant a: the town merchant were natural unpopular, a feeling which et exists regardless of the soc: standing of the merchant, be from city or county, town crossroads. "That there was and is no soc element in the movement may I perhaps, most easily and C( elusively proved from the charac ? ter of the leaders under whom th? Farmers' Association began t< i move as a quasi-political body The more prominent of the leaden and charter members oftheassoci ; ation were B. R. Tillman, J. E i Tindal, G. VV. Shell, W. D. Evane , D. K. Norris, M. L. Donaldson * John E. Bradley, T. J. Kirkland ' E. T. Stackhouse, Y. J. Pope, Hugl Farley, W.T. C.Bates, J. A. Sligh Sampson Pope, Eugene B. Gary John Gary Evans, W. J. Talbert ' W. A. Courtenay, Dr' Timmermar i and myself. , Those men enlistee j in the cause ot reform in the Statt ? Government and for a redress ol the evils oppressing the farming classes. Those who know any. ? thing at all about the social his i tory of South Carolina would nevei i contend that all or any of the lead ers I have named would have en tered into a conspiracy to destroy 1 their own class as a class, 01 to pander to communistic pre i judice and passion as a means oi , self destruction. The leaders in . most instances belonged to what is called the higher or highest 1 social class in South Carolina, and } they represented the State from i border to border, among them be [ ing included some of the colonial .'aristocracy' of Beaufort, Geor getown and Charleston. ; "The Tillman family ranks ? among the best in the State. In i 1885 Tillman made a speech be , fore the South Carolina Argicul 1 tural Society at Bennettsville, in 1 which he advocated the building ? of an agricultural college, in which the farmer boys could learn the * science of agriculture. He advised also the divorce of the literary and j agricultural departments of the ? South Carolina University, in which was an 'annex' for agricul ' tural studies. The idea of the agricultural college and the aboli * tion of the 'annex' were endorsed 5 by every county in the State. In 1886 the farmers met, formed an ? association, and presented their claims in a memorial to the Legis 1 lature, which were almost indign 1 antly refused. ' "This meeting was the largest L ever held in this State, and was composed of representative far mers and the friends of the associ ation, lawyers, doctors, mechanics, and all other professions and " vocations. In that year, after tho rejection of their respectful claim, j they tried to solidify their forceB and elect a Governor in sympathy with them, but they failed for a reason not necessary to explain in ' this connection. In 1888 they j tried again, but failed again. They .V tried in this year, to nominatr Gen Joseph H. Earle, a Bourbon of the Bourbons, a fact which is its own commentary on that 'social revolt' in South Carolina and the "true inwardness of Tillmanism,' and L especially when it is stated that j Tillman himself worked sincerely ? and hard for the nomination of Earle. Gen Earle was one of the opponents of Tillman on the stump I in 1890. o "The farmers of the State and 8 those who favored the establish a, ment of an Agricultural College d had, in my judgment, the best of p reasons for their rebellion against ?. the then existing political powers, a Their demands were reasonable, e and they had become exasperated ? by the failures to perform and by ;S the broken promises and hollow !t assurances of the party leaders, .g Governor Richardson, who pre e ceded Governor Tillman, while Q pretending sympathy with the i" Agricultural College idea, made no tl reference to it in his inaugural ad d dress, so that near the cloBe of his i. last term the storm burst, the revo n lution was on. The revolutionists -not Socialists or Anarchists fi were determined to obtain redrese. ;? In the spring of 1890. G. W. Shell, 3f. now Congressman from the 4th j"t district, and then chairman of the k Farmers's Association, issued an {Q address calling upon the farmers Lg of the State to meet in convention a to nominate candidate for State 3r offices to canvass the State and r stand for nomination at the regu lar Democratic Convention in Sep ^ tember. is "Tillman was nominated by this >y Convention in the spring, or was ?n 'suggested,' as the phrase went in y that campaign. Gen Joseph H. ie Earle and Gei i John Bratton made to the canvass ap ainst him, but Till ie man swept .he field and was sr nominated and elected, adminis to tering a crushing defeat to the In ve dependsnt-sorehead-negro-Radical tie ticket led by Alexander C. Has as kell as candidate for Governor, is- During the campaign several new ot issues were raised by the news 3d papers, but the fundamental issues s, of Tillmanism remained the same and were incorporated in the party ;d platform of 1890. The cause for th the perennial stream of abuse of 3n the Farmers' Movement and its ay leaders from The News and Courier er and other papen is not hard to [ie locate. The patronage of the Fed to eraL. Government is worth $250, ag OOO. The former rulers of this y. State-the Ring, as they are called er hope to control this patronage as he a corruption fund to bribe the at weak-kneed Reformers and to 9n eventually restore themselves to >r, power, But they may as well un ie derstand now, once for all, that .the ne people are in the saddle, there to of remain for at least twenty years [y and, in truth, they do know it. pe "There is another reason for ld this daily assassination of the U0 State by her patriotio sons 1 The ;i" debt of the State is to be refunded ar in 1893. Ever since Tillman came )ir into office the daily newspapers to naVe been endeavoring to discredit By the State to hold her up to the *1J world as a'poor bedraggled, crea Qd ture,' indeed, They hope that the }y people will repudiate Tillman ill should he fail to refund this debt, ial but in this they will be mis he taken. The so-called "Conserva or tive' Democracy cannot afford much longer to block the effort to ial make the refund, because they, too, be, must pay a part, a good part, of >n- the taxes, and I expect to see the ay, near at hand, when a sen ible constituency like the Con ervative Democracy will repudi te the newspaper leaders, to whom he unfortunate strife, the fra ricidal war of past years, has been iistly chargeable. The course of vents in the very near future will .rick their bubbles and relegate hem to the rear. "The truth is that the people who iow reign in South Carolina are appy under the present beneficent rovernmeut, happier than they iave been at any time since the rar. They are happy in the fact hat they are now their own mas ers ; that they are the electors, and hat they exercise their full power n the choice of their rulers. The ecent primary elecci?n passed off uietly and satisfactorily to a great aajority of the citizens of the Itate. The Third Party ghost as been laid to rest. The State rill give a big majority for Cleve and as it will for Tillman. The ?tate debt will be refunded in dua ime, and- a consummation most arnestly desired-the wings of be Democratic party will flap to other against in peace and unity, nless the Conservetive element as distinct party is kept asunder to reserve a constituency for some aoribund newspaper enterprises."
