However if he can't get in this plank he says he cai) only bring it back home J with him. CORRESPONDENCE A Word of Inspiration and Hope to Democracy. MR. EniTOR: The impulse of an aroused Democracy has its impress stamped upon a national platform worthy the supporl of a solid South land and that of .ill Americans in sympathy with a democratic form of government and who would make effective opposition to Radi cal success which is itself but an other name for money power, force bill, more debts, aud other steps towards centralization and mo narchy and enslavement of the people. Yes, the national Demo cratic platform recently adopted at Chicago embodies the senti ments of a large majority of the Democracy in these Unite I States and is true to southern statesman ship, and Democracy in its past history previous to the civil war us well as consistent with Demo cratic effort and speechmakiug in congress during tho last thirty years confronting ?and restraining Radical legislation and corrup tion. This etraight-cut platform de manding free and independent coinage of silver on equal terms with gold, the isei *uce of paper money directly by the government, instead of indirectly through na tional banks as at present, giving them power thus to contract the peoples' currency at will ; the re peal of laws permitting a Cleve land orCarlysle issuing interest bearing bonds in the time of peace solely for the benefit of specula ting synJicates and money hoard ers to appreciate the dollar hoard ed, the national government of trusts, pools, railroads &c" that the masses be not oppressed by such ; aud beside s other just and reas mable means, demanding ua return to that simplicity and econ omy which befits a Democratic government." This p.atform adopt ed by two-thirds of the whole Dem ocratic delegations in national convention which wore fairly cho sen after free discussion of tho principles inside of the party Bhould receive the support surely of every consistent voter who ac knowledges that the Radical party must be whipped. The cause of the people has been properly for mulated and charitably if fear lessly presented to them during eight or ten years, till this cause has won its present prominence in the Democratic platform. Then let no oue of the party deem himself worthy to fight long er with impunity this success with weapons made foul with envy, prejudice or nonyielding and uncharitable opposition; but let the forces of Democracy harmo nize and become a unit in this fight against the corruption and oppression of Radicalism and its money power. Let all our people remember that it is a duty they owe the Southland to cease factional dif f?rencies on questions involved in this platform, that confidence may be restored and the merits of De mocracy be properly proclaimod. AU acknowledge that Democrats have made a good fight in con gres?) against the Radicals for the last thirty years, yet their a-gu meuts not known to the masses have not been conclusive to Radi cal schemes and money forces for these vere cognizant of the fact that the people were not informed and aroused with the sams argu ments. Jt remained for the patriot ism and the geniaeof our South ern and Western people to adopt new and different methods to arouse and educate the masses against the wrongs and corruption of the Radical party. Though many leaders resisted the inova tion ?nd men in honorable posi tions ridiculed the several organi zations through which this educa tion was given, yet the means were 'easouably suited to the pud sought. That the people should cling to thor?e who aided in teach ing them and supplant mauy a noble Democrat inhonorable posi tion with men from the rank and file who bad shown themselves worthy to lead, is no fauft of lead ers whose fiery methods wen thought necessary to keep the peo pie aroused till their individua forces could be conserved into ai aggressive organized force wit! which to burl from power the Rad ical party and their corrupt anc oppressive laws. The people have s?oken then and it is their decision that the supreme test at tho ballot bo> should be on the lines of a united South and West and others whe believe that the majority of the party should have its say demand ing that a square issue be made whether mau shall rule money 01 money shall rule, opprees and de stroy the liberty of man. Demand ing this in spite of the wishes of a large contingency of heretofore Den.ocrats who controlled l.irgely the voice in natural Democratic platforms and lines of action, the gold standard men of the North and East. There have been many efforts to unite the agricultural forces of the South and West for a president and congressmen that more favorable laws might be had for our interests and section, but at no time wifh such promise of success as now. Then let our Southern people cease factioual differences and work f)r the gen eral good. Let South Carolinians be grate ful that those leaders who have aided in carrying the cause of u> all to tho front steered clear of Third Parlyism. and cease fac tional fight to l.ogood, but to con tinue factional 4way of men into office without due consideration of individual merit and of important measures relative to county and State aftairs. PRO BONO PUBLICO. Airy Mound, Aug. 3, 1896. SILVER DOLLARS. Jim Minor Thinks That Thing? are in a Muddle. I thiuk my old friends Jim Penn and Goody Ti m merman will agree with me. Boy? did you see Jim? I know you did if you were at Edge field last Wednesday. ' Oh how I wish I was one of those fellows tbut could draw pictures. I would have drawn him and attached hereto for the benefit of the Shadowlield boys who uuavoidabi} or for some other reason were kept away. Why did'ut you come boys it would have done you good. It was a grand and gorgeous display. How I enjoyed looking at Jim. He sat through the whole perfor mance as if nailed. Not even the "Giand Act" caused a muscle to twitch-perhaps you m'ght have discovered a slight facial expan sion while Duncan was untying the string to (he bag that held the cats ; but before the cats began to jump got back to normality and remained normal throughout the leap. After such marked attention I ask you Jim asa friend, I do con sider you my friend, "old fellow," though we differ a little along the silver line and a few other things not'of a natur?? though to break our friendship, yoB I ask you with all candor. Don't if. appear to you as it does to me, two good looking men-that there is a little decay in Denmark. It appears tome that there was webbing done. You know a spider will weave him a nice webb and when an enemy ap proaches he runs off on a strand that he has made for that purpose and is gone, the webb is left to take care of itself. I've been pegging along try ing to make a living for myself wife and 6 babies, and thank God I've succeeded very well not withstanding the fact we hav'ut had 16 to 1. I hav'ut had time to go to that great "Free School" es tablished a few years ago to edu cate politically tho "wool hat" and one gallus boys. Boys when ure you going to graduate, get your sheep skins and be prepared to work your rabbit foot on "bond deals" &c, &c, &c. I am going to quit pegging in the field send my boys, as it don't cost anything, to Clemson College, rest myself on my wooden leg un der the shade, surrounded by the silyer lined sky, study the pres ent political weather flags, run for coronor, advocate free coinage of silver 16 to 1, get elected and die rich. Hurrah for political education and when free Biiver come-j what a a time we will have. Why some folks say a band wagon will go round about once a month with silver horses, and loaded with money, back up to overy man's house and dump a big bag of money in the back piazza-in fact it will rain dimes in th9 winter, have an april shower of quarters in the spring and a bail storm of half dollars in mid summer when the lieus give out. Some folks up here now are so opposed to gold that they are going to draw all the gold plugs out of their teeth and the children will no longer be taught that there is a bag of gold at the end of the rain bow-not a bit ; it must be a bag of silver. The sil ver lined clouds have turned into a cloud of solid silver, and the dentist have all got silver now tc plug teeth with, and in the next two years we will see the banke goiug round borrowing silver from the farmers to lend to poor old gold bugs.
