He advanced some ideas in regard to the 4'commercial Democracy." "You will recall," he said, 44tbe fight over the propo^lof the legislature to condemn Senator McLaurin's actions in the United States senate. I firmly believe that if ft vote of th? nonnlo Ko/I r-~i"v " been taken then McLaurin could could not have gotten 10,000 votes in the State. "The legislature failed to condemn McLaurin's policy. Since that time his strength has grown. Tillman would have defeated him, but that tight too has been avoided and McLaurin basbeen strengthened again. "It is all in organization. As I told some members of the legislature when those caustic resolutions came up, McLanrin will have this State organized. Politics is a matter of business. There must be organization. That was the strength of the Tillman movement in 1890. It was organized. "I propose to meet organizations with organization and a number of us agreed before the legislature adjourned that we would meet in Columbia fair week and perfect an organization to fight McLaurin's organization. "A few days ago I had business in a certain city in the State which has had a lot of notoriety lately. There I "met a legislator who had been one of my closest associates in the house. I asked him, in course of conversation, if be would be with us in the fight against McLaurin. He replied that certain of his influential relatives were the hottest kind of McLaurin supporters, and that he could not antagonize his own kin. I was astonished, and asked him if he would support McLaurin. He replied that ho didn't think he would, but he couldn't fight him, "Now that is one of the men who was expected to help organize against McLaurin. I tell you that there must be organization to fight this new proposition, for the organization on the other side is growiag every day. There is one basis of organization which will do a great deal of harm to the party. The State is ruled by the Democrats and the Democrats for ten years have been governed by one faction. In the five regular county primaries since that time there have been on an average 25 defeated candidates in each county in each primary. They are sore?many of them. They are dissatisfied with the movement which did not give them power. "Take these 125 or more defeated candidate* in each connty. Propose to them to go into an or ganization which will put them on top. Each one lias Home following, and a considerable impetus could be gathered in this way. Add to these disgruntled Tillmanites a large sprinkling of irreconcilable Conservative and there you have a movement? What is true i>f the several counties is true of defeated candidates for State offices.

Political iMuaa Discussed by Him in a Broad Spirit?Senator Teller and Mr. Bryan Given 'At tention?Expansion and Ship Subsidies. Newberry, June 6.?Senator McLaurin delivered an addtess here today before the firemen of the State, at their annual tournament. After paying an eloquent tribute to the firemen, fie entered . \ < upon. a discussion of national political issue, speaking in the line of his recent deliverances. Referring to the relations of Senator Teller of Colorado, and Mr. Bryan to the Democratic party, he said: "Senator Teller, when shown a copy of the report of my Greenville speech, said that it was un true in every particular. He declared that be had never said the negro was the equal of every white man, but said and was still of that opinion that the negro was entitled to the same rights under the law as the white man. As chairman of the commissi >n which investigated the elections ib South Carolina, Senator Teller said that the South could never prosper until it ceased to make distinctions on account of color. (<The people of South Carolina can decide for themselves as to what the Senator meant when he declared that no distinction should be made on account of color. "Senator Teller also became indignant at the assertion that he had oppbaed the force bi'l. He said that he had voted and worked agaiaat that measure when it was before' tbe Senate. As no vote was evefr taken in the United State Seni ate upon the force bill, it ia im possiole that Senator Teller could have voted against it. in a sub sequent session of the Senate he 1 himself declared that while it had i not come to a vote and he had made no speech against it, he had l opposed it in committee. Senator Hoar, who was his colleague up> on tho committee which reported the bill, accused him on the floor of the Senate of stating thut which was not true, and declared that be bad opposed the bill in committee. "The record discloses an admissied from Senator Teller that he had neither spoken or voted against tne bill and as he now says he d:d both, the question of veracity between Senator Teller and Senator Hoar, fully set forth in the Congressional Record, would seem to be in favor of Senator Hoar. His own utterances convict him of untruth in his declaration that be worked against the measure in committee. "I did not make the statement as to Teller without good authorif tr T r* ? mj. iu tuc ivi/UiU IIIUUI til 106 United State* Senate it? the report of the commission of '70 of which he was chairman, which report forms the basis of the force bill and led up to it. In that be says the country would never have peace until the negro was accorded the same rights as the white man. "The local papers in the election of 1894 did not give details, but it is well known that Mr. Bryan was against Crisp of Georgia for Speaker of the House of Representatives Wecause he had been a Confederate soldier, and he said that no ex-Confederate could be entrusted with the Speakership. Ua? 1Tm? ? -I V? i??? null, vmj ?? uuum>u u? lYWIIlUCHy mentioned thin matter at the Kansas City convention, and there was considerable comment upon it among the delegates opposed to the reiteration of the 16 to 1 ' plank." Concerning *he policy ef ex- i passion, Senator McLaurin 1 said: I assert that territorial and ( commercial expansion it not imperialism. 1 understand by imperialism the establish ment of an imperial government over the outlaying possessions of the United States?the inauguration of a colonial system like that of Spain and other monarchical govern* ments, by which colonies are to he fostered aid controlled by the home government without the consent of the governed. I understand expansion to mean the extension of our territory, our trade, our commerce, our civilization and the blessings of freedom under the aegis of our Constitution. And 1 understand that the purpose of this is to build up our country and achieve glory as a Jia- 1 tinn orwl *1 - ?U\| iw twuioi ll|iun IDOSO | brought within the influences of our institutions the beneficent blessings of our Christian civilization. This 1 conceive to be the true distinction between imperialism and expansion. "I have always opposed, and am still opposed to the establish* ! ment of a colonial system, because our governmental inst^ueieathlities are inadequate to the maintenance of a system which is incompatible with the genius and principles of our republican gov-* ernment. The administration is also opposed to such a policy. The President has repeatedly said that the people of the Philippines were entitled to such selfgovernment as they are capable of enjoying. In pursuance of this policy a commission was created which is now engaged in establishing municipal government among them, and will soon put in operation a civil administration suited to their condition. There has been a good deal of clap trap indulged in by politicians about the oppression of the Philippines and their denial of independence. But I have always believed that the patriotism and good sense of Congress would in time provide for the just, beneficent and constitutional government of the islands. Up to this time, the President has been engaged in the work of suppressing the insurrection there. It is now about ended and the sovereignty of the United States established. Efforts can now be made to provide for the people such a government and all the freedom compatible with their capasity or needs and I believe Congress will speedily act. As a nation, we have nev?r foiio.i ?- ? J to successfully solve difficult governmental or political problems, and the intelligence and patriotism of the American people will solve the Philippine problem." As to ship subsidies, he de- . clared: "Akin to the question of ex-j pnnsion is that of the building up a merchant marine. Without abips to carry our imports and exports much of the benefits of territorial and commercial supremacy is dependent upon rival natious for transportation facili- , ^ VV a it ir itOAA AAA AAA 1 . i U I'?J f?VV|UVViVUU uu- I Dually to other nations for ocean 1 freights. They have merchant marines which have been built oy subsidies. In carrying our freights they discriminate against us in order to reimburse themselves as fur as possible for *he J payment of subsidies by them. So ' that, in fact we are indirectly pay- . incr the creator nnri. of th? ?nh. I sidies granted by Kngland, France, Germany and Norway, Is this wise and economical 1 Can we afford to continue to do it, when our surplus products necessitate our reaching out for foreign I markets and in competing with | other nations in the priee of products ? The proposition that we need and must ha?e a merchant marine to succeed in our coramer- i cial struggle with other nations is 1 one which commends itself to the common business sense of all. As I said in the Senate in one of my ' speeches, it is iust l?ke one merchant depending upon his competitor in business to make hia de~ "S liveries for him. h 4'There is misapprehension in f the public mind as to what a sub- o sidy means. Many bare been d lead to believe it is a 'steal,' 'a job,' or some national expendi* c tore of money for certain indivi- r. duals of corporations. This is j not so. It i? simply encourage- a meat of ship building by govern- j mental aid. This ia no new c principle in American politics. ( Years ago our government fostered ship building,and then we car j ried 90 per cent, of our ocean c freights Today when no encour- ^ agement is given to it, we carry only 10 per cent, and other nations ^ carry the balance. This principle of subsidy is no new thinor in . ? Southern politics. The Southern States subsidized most of the rail ^ roads built before the civil war. ? o Greenville and Columbia rAilroad would never perhaps hare been constructed had it not been for p State aid. All the railroads in this country are su? sidized either directly or indirectly by the government for carrying the mails. At the last sessions Congress the Southern railroad "eceired a subsidy of $200,000 for carrying the fast Southern mails, and ail the Democratic Senators who are denouncing ship subsidies voted for it. Before war Alabama and J g Louisiana granted subsidies to en- I courage the building of steamers. ? 1 can see no difference in principle in granting subsidies to railroads and ships. Both are fostered alike hy government. Why, then, jg so much clap trap about ship sub- | sidies I" J Senator McLaurin' ? remarks 1 were closely attended and libera] 1 applause was given him throughout bis speech. Furman Notes a Tillman Change. To the Editor of The State. Wonderfulare the changes which come over some minds. At Greenville in 1894 Senator Tillman said: J "I have lost faith in the Demo- J oratic party." Today Senator c Tillman is bitterly opposed to \ Senator McLaunn and the reason ? he gives is that McLaurin is op- i posed to the Democratic party. * In nlhor WArrlo Tillman i" ? ? ? au uvuvl rwuiXAa IIIIIUBU IB UUW I bitterly against McLaurin be- ? cause, he claims, McLaurin is op- 1 posed to a certain political party and yet only seven years ago he declared that he had loat faith in this same party.
