This organization was formed in 1874 in tho Westorn States, and though weak in numbers, and gettinglittloaid or oountonanco from the money contres, it still lives and has increased ?a power and inUuonco. Its load ing purpose is the repeal of the Resumption Aot, tho abolition of tho national bank system, and the iesuo by the Government of a legal teodor grconbaok paper money, which shall riot bo redoomable in gold, but based on tho orodit and faith of tho Govern mont. Another leading ?doa is tho payment of tho bondod indebtedness of tho country in this curronoy, and making it reoeivablo in tho Government for all.debts and duos, private nod public, an fully as gold is. Qold is hold to bo of no uso ?soopt for tho purposo of foreign trado, and as tho balance of trado with tho world is in favor of this country, by several hundred millions of dollars, it is of littlo ncod for tho * purposes of foreign trade. In fact, with a etablogovernment and a monoy based on its credit, it is eontendod truly that this govern ment legal tender will soon become of equal value with gold in foreign oouutrios for tho purposes of trade This Greenback move ment is strongly opposed by tho bondholders, who soo in it moro of loss to themselves than <of wrong or dnngor to tho pooplo cr tho .country. They hold immense govornmont ..securities, not subject to taxation, and boar-, ?ng interest in gold nt six and seven por cent, which cost thom from thirty to forty conts on -4he dollar. Already in fiftoon yours they fiiavo received in interest moro than tho cost .of those bonds and tho in tores t on their in vestments, and if tho law stands as it is those bonda wil{ be forevor a sure incomo to thom, .and a bitter oppression to right and justice vaud to tbo laboringolaeses of tho Government ifts well as to tho trao intereste- of tho country. Every stop in tho contraction of tho curronoy, ovory step towards resumption of spooio pay ments, enrich os tho bondholders at tho ox ponso of the pooplo. As tho ourrenoy di. minishes tho prico of labor and the value of products shrink, while tho interest paid to the bondholder romains the samo. In a few years, if it bo not so already, tho pooplo will ibecomo really, if not nominally, slaves to tho morned interests of tho country. All tho revenues of tho Government pass through tho Treasury into tho hands of thoso bondholders I who become- morned princes with tho pooplo ?| as their slaves. Tho legislation of Congress for tho -past two years has operated constantly to moko the rioh riohor and tho poor poorer. Tho valuo ?of gold bus boon increased, silver was domo iiitizcd and tho groenbaok currency bas boon reduood moro than ono half in tho past few years. Tho effect bas boon to dooroase tho value of land, to reduco tho prico of all tho products of tho oountry, to paralyze all tho manufacturing industries ot' tho country and (ogivo to monoy double its purchasing power to tho benefit of thc capitalist. While all this is true, salaries have not boon reduced, taxes continuo heavy, and tho laboring and producing olassos aro oithor out of employ ment or roalizo from their labor a scanty HM?Tsupport. ?? noe ilia ourroiuy too much con* trao tc tl ? Tho business of tin countv and tho ehrinkago in values answor it is. What need have wo of a ourronoy redeemable in gold Gold is the standard of value in all civilized countries and isa universally admitted mo - d>um of exchange; but to us, who have tho balance of trado in our favor, what noed havo vre of this medium o? oxchange? Cur cotton and wheat and bacon and rico and other pro? duotione, not only answor tho purposo of gold J in foreign countries, but will bring a surplus of gold over trade to this country. This hoing true, why should wo not have a curronoy proportionate to our wants and intorosts and based on tho credit of tho Government? Tho Giconbaokors favor such a curronoy. They favor tho purohaso of bonds by its issuo, until a volume equal to tho wants of trado shall bo issued, and then as it is returned to tho Troas? ?ry through tho revenues of tho govornmont, its roissuo in tho purchase of other bonds, until tho wholo indebtodnoss of tho country is liquidated, tho currency hoing kept at all ?timos of a volume proportionate to tho wants of trado. I? this wrong or unfair? it is eontendod that such payntont of tho bonded debt will bo in violation of tho plodgos of tho Govornmont and destroy our national credit, BB|';WO do not so regard it, for tho doing of what Wm fs right and fair cannot injuro. This ourron oy will bo mndo a legal tonder for all pur? poses, for tho laboror and bondholder, for tho merchant and farmor, for tho officer and allison, Sure wo oro that tho legislation ol tho past has boen for tho moniod mon of tho oountry and against tho laborers and citizens. JU is time the tiling was changed and whether tho plan of the Gronnbaokors bo adopted or pot* certain it is that ?boro oan bo no prospe rity in tho present flnnuolnl legislation. Jf the Greenbaokors aro on ono extremo, tho bard monoy mon aro on thoothor a nd w o bol ?evo 4ho latter to bo moro dangerous than thc fervor, us thu latter ?trikes at tho masses in forum may injure n fow io favor of tho many, The Greonbaak movemont In 187f foOA bet 70,000 vote?. Io 1876 it pollod 222,000 voto?, and io tho last olo?tion lt polled 078, 837 votes, and succeeded in electing esvoral Oongresmeo. While this is truo, many journals deolare this now party has failed to develop the strength it was expeetod to show, sud have prod ?o? ed Us early dissolution. We do not seo it lo this light. New idoas are slow in taking root in the popular mind, and ospeoially upon so oomplex a question ns that of finance; but its constant growth and spread betokens that in-tho noxt two years il will gain moro rapidly than in tho past. Besides each yoor since 1874 tho evils of contraction havo been moro and moro felt, and tho wrongs to tbo people in paying in gold interest op non taxablo bonds has bocomo moro and moro galling, so not only is tho mutter bettor understood but stronger reasons for its sproad now oxist. Thc Groonbaokers aro not dead, nor will tboy dio until there is bottor finan oial legislation by Congress than that of tho past six years. Thoy may not prevail but they will either prevail or work somooompron miso fairer to tho peoplo and tho country than that which says gold for tho holders of non taxable bunds and groonbaoks for tho laborer, contraction and greater wealth for tho rich, and poverty and hoavier burdens for tho poor. This matter of financial reform, whether it como from tho Democrats, RopublN cane or Oreen backers, must sooner or later como, for tho timos demand it. V. Tho Hon. W. I?. Polton, of Georgia, rocont ly eleoted ns aa Indepondont Domocrat, in a recent speech at Atlanta, on tho financial question, used tho following language: There, ton, id tho financial quostion. That we must meet. We must understand it nud promptly moot it. Thoro is tho Greenback party, the Republican party and tho Demo cratic party. All thoso must partioipato, to soma extent, in tho settlement of this ques tion and whatever tho settlement may bo, I am disposed to stand by and abide by tho action af tho Democratic party. [Cheers and applause j At thc samo timo I nm desirous that tho Democratic party should act in per fect harmony und with n desiro to toko caro of tho'intcrost of thc whole people. To da this I think wo should havo financial relief and financial reform. Hard times! You seo them ovory whore. Thoro is scnrcoly a citizen of Qoorgia or of tho United States who does not feel this scarcity of money. Wo fool tho press uro upon us. Men aro toiling as thoy never toilod before, Georgians aro working Imrdor than thoy ever worked boforo. It is astonishing, tho amount of labor and produc tion that is manifest among them tooday. Those merchants, farmers and mechanics toil every day and yet, with ull their toil and industry, they cannot meet tho demands that aro daily mudo upon them. They can scarcely meet tho wants of their families-certainly not the comforts and luxuries to which they havo been accustomed in past years. Why this pressure? Why this lopping oft* of com* forts and luxuries? It is attributable, in my opinion, to bad legislation. I notice that my distinguished friend, Oonernl Toombs, in a speech hore in Atlanta tho other night, enid that sinco 1807 tho sun had ncvor risen and set but it found Georgia poorer than sho was thc day before. It is truel Mon talk of tho improvement of business, tho revival of bus iness, and all that. It is in tho shrinkage of tho value of tho taxablo property ot tho State from year to year? Do you find it in tho homos of tho farmers-in tue byways and hedges of tho land- -among the mechanics and wonlth-oroators of tho country? . No, sir. Absolutely, tho rich aro growing rich el and tho poor aro growing poorer from day to dayl (Applause.) Now, I havo no war to moko on capital. It is essential to labor. Tho capitalista aro entitled to bo protected, but while I am in favor of extending to them nil that full measure of protection that is guaranteed by thc constitution and law of the country, I do demand in tho namo of justice that the legislation which makes tho rich richer and tho poor poorer shall cease now and COOBO forovor. (Cheers ropeatod.) Why thoso hard times and this pressure? In my judgment, it is attributable to bad, unwise and corrupt legislation. Thoy aro attributa ble to three acts of the American Congress. First, thora was an not repealing tho act to nay the bonded indebtedness of this country in legal tondor money, and that it should be in gold and silver. That act accomplished this: it mado gold moro valuable. Tho ques tion was, how shall wo increase tho perchas, ing power of gold? It was in tho hands |of tho fow, in tho moneyed mon of tho North, and the legislation of tho country was made to toud to tho trebling and quadrupling of tho purchasing powor of gold What moans did thoy uso to uccomplish this? In tho first placo they said thoro must bo ono standard of value and all othor standards must bo des troyed, and to do this, in 1873 they demon etized silver. Congress onaoted that it was not money and not a legal tondor for duo.", public or private, and tho silver of tho coun try actually took to itself wings and flow away to China, Japan and othor ailvor using countries. Thia ?ras contraction, for it helped to increase tho purchasing powor of gold. And as it ivas increased tho value of lands, and labor and products in this country wont down pari passa. And to moko a fur ther incroaso in tho purchasing powor of gold, tho greonback ourroncy was decided too plen tiful. It was determined to retire it until thoy brought it down in volume bf gold, and thoy literally burned it up at tho rato of a million and a half por. month until they brought it down from $48 por capita to 'loss than $10 por capita; and justas that was dono tho purchasing power of gold was incroasod, and jost as it was increased and at thc samo proportion the value of lands and agricultural and moehanioal products, and tho productions which go to moko men rich and happy by labor, wont down in Georgia. Tho result* is that bankruptcy is upon tho peoplo of Georgia and tho peoplo throughout this land. A few interested monoy-holdors and money changers in our large commercial centres, who enjoy tho privologo of controlling tho mon?y of tho country, aro mndo millionaires, whilo tho laborors and monoy-produoors of tho country aro reduced to bankruptcy! (Applause.) Tho Washington corrospondont of tho Bal? thooro Sun says that "intovost in tho attitude of tho administration! towards tho South eon tinaos unabated, nnd frosh arrivals of indi viduals from that section with further sup plies of outrage litoraturo aro roported." Tho President insists that tho determination to onforoe tho oloction laws involves no chango in his position, but tho stalwarts know that ho has changed front, and tho hope is expressed by this class that tho South Carolina cases may bo tried boforo Judge Bond, ns in that cvont thoy aro satisfied thoro will be no tomporing of justico with mercy. About 40 acros of IIOUSOR woro consumed at Capo May on tho Otb inst, by fire. Total loss estimatod at $100,000. It was a delight ful placo of summer resort, but tho season had closed. Tho Aro is supposod to hnvo boon tho WOrk of un incendiary. SmftIS ?rsi1.1. In tho low price of ooro noa ootf?n farinor?. naturally rovolvo in their uVmuVv/lmt ?8 the mott remunerative orop for this country? Wo oertaiuly grow cotton under great disad vantage*, requiring tho use ot stimulants and special cultivation to ovoroomo tho natural detecta of elimata. With tho prosont low prloo tho orop is not remunerative, while oom will not bring money, so wo aro oom polled to look to some other product of our soil to koop our debit and credit ovon. Wo believe wheat will nearer answer this purpo&o than auy other product, lt oufht to grow woll horo, and with proper ouitivatlon it will. Ourrepoated failures aro duo moro to tho want of manuring and proper attontion than to any defect of olitunto. Thc farmors gene* rally think thoy oan't give two muoh ntton* tion to their cotton or too little to their whoat orop. Tho latter is usually sown on stalk land without breaking or manuring, and a largo yield ia ox poe tod. Corn or ootton troatod in tho samo way would moko uothiug. If one-half tho labor usually devoted to tho ootton orop woro put on whoat, would it not pay bottor? Moro labor is expended in pro? paring land for ootton than in sowing, har venting and threshing tho yiold of tho samo land in whoat. Moro manuro is put on ono aero of cotton than is usually pat oh ton noros of wheatland bcoauso thoro ls a failure wo aro disposed to abandon wheat oulturo. Whoat nineo tho war 'bas commanded from $1.50 to $2.50 por bushel, and even now it ie worth $1.50, while every thing oise is ruin ously low. Twenty bushels of whoat is equal in valuo to a four hundred pound bale of cotton, and it ought to bo mado to ovory aero sown, with loso manuro nnd with ono half tho labor needed to innko tho ootton. Now is tho timo to sow wheat and ovory far mer should try a fow woll prepared acres. It improves tho land, and is tho moat romu? nerntivo orop for our section, when proporly cultivated. Io tho shape of Hour it commands monoy ns roadily n9 ootton, and withal no man will starve with whoat in tho granary. Cotton and wheat can both bo mado romu? norativo by proper cultivation, and neither should bo neglected. lu fact, the farm ia profitable only through diversified crops, and whoat is ono of tho most importunt in this section. Thc Statu Fail*. It was our good pleasure to attend tho Stale Fair at Columbia last week. Wo left Walhalla on Wednesday morning nt 7 A. M. and reached our destination nt 8 P. M., being two hours be hind time on ncoount of tho heavily loaded cars of livo freight-both of bipods and quadrupeds. After enjoying tho hospitalities of our kind friend Mr. li. for thc night, and making a call or two on other friends in tho city, wc went to tho Fair Grounds to sec nnd bo seen. Showing our "complimentary" to thc gale keeper we passed in ond began nt once our inspection. Wc found the display in nil tho dcpai incuts equal if not tho best ever made at nny Stale Fair ever held in Columbia. The products of tho farm and garden and tho whole vcgclnblo kingdom sur passed anything heretofore exhibited at tho State Fair and equaled those of any other agricultural fair ever held in any locality. It is seriously to bo questioned whether finer specimens of grain, finita, vegetables, enuc, com, ootton, hay, roots, &c, could hu. found in any oilier representative ccllcctlon of similar articles in the cultivated world. The household department was well filled, and tliis year it furnished no roora for exception, ns thc visitor was made aware after a hopeless and dazed ramblo through labyrinths of knitted and sowed nud quilted woollen and cotton work, rcliovcd nt frequent intervals by numerous delicate and indescribable specimens of.'lie fair handiwork, which must have been .y^.f to bo appreciated and admired. In this department wo noticed a silk quilt, mado by a lady from C hester, which contained about SIS. t li ou sand patches. Th? exhibition c f poultry v?as good. Thcro woro to be seen every variety of turkeys and geese, and ducks and chickens nnd rabbits, de sirable for purposes of barn-yard ornamentation or Christmas tablo decoration. Wo saw two ge .'sc, which for sizo and no doubt for feathers, surpassed anything of thc kind that wo have over seen. These animals roust have each weighed twenty-five or ihirty pounds. A beau tiful fountain with ft pond of water surround ing it was provided for thc web-footed ani mals to sport, in, and they attracted much at tention. Tho ort gallery received its share of attention by all lovera of fino piel ure?. It showed a bettor selection of contributions in tho lino of paintings, drawings, photographs, plain und colored, .vc, ttimi usual. Tho exhibition of stock was .certainly the finest ever seen at any State Fair at Columbia. Tito horses, cattle, sheep, goatE and hogs wore far ahead of any wo remember to havo aeon. Tho various olnsscs woro fuller and mora com pleto. Mr. John E. Lewis, of this county, entered eight head of oattlo in thc stook depart ment and carried off nino premiums! Among tho finest animals on tho grounds was "Louise Waddy," a three year old short-horn Durham, tho property of Mr.;Low?8. " >r i Our attention was next, directed to tho agri cult ural machinery. .Steam engines, cotton gins and presses, and ether maohluery for agricul tural purposes woro to bo seoA In groat profusion. Among tho most notablo of thoso wo woro muoh interested in a little machineoallcd tho "Patent Nonparoil Mill." This excellent mill is intend ed for general crushing and grinding, both for thc farmer and mechanic. It is constructed of iron in its principal parts, and is not only strongly mado, but is powerful in its operation and very durable; il is not al all liable to de rangement, and may bo operated by almost auy ono. Hy tho adoption of this mill tho farmor can do all his meal and food grinding at homo, nnd savo both limo and toil in going to mill. Mr. W. Lowry, of Columbia, S. C., is tho agent in thia Stato for tho sale of thoso mills. We must not forget to notioo ono of tho most beautiful specimens of handiwork that carno under our observation. It was an agricultural wreath, mado by Mrs. Miles N. Silton, of this county, lt was composed of tho seeds, &0., of tho farm nnJ garden, beautifully and tastefully arranged in all kinds of figur?n, and looked more Uko tho work of nal ure than thal of arl. Wo understood that tho horse racing was pretty fair, but as wo took no stook iu this fca turo of tho exhibition, wo cannot speak advis edly. Wo heard some dissatisfaction expressed on tho ground of an extra admittanoo fco of fifty couts being charged to 800 tho races. Thoro are many other things that wo oould mention did timo and space forbid. Wo will say in conclusion thal in our judgment tho Stato Fdr was a grand ?uccoss, tho. attendance good, tho weather beautiful ftod. overything con spired to make tho oooaalon ono of real enjoy ment and pleasure to all who altondod. We regrot not seeing more of. our citizens present from Oconeo. Let thom got ready to attond the next Stato Fair and carry with them something to exhibit, aa did our friend Lowis, who took nino priaes. We understand that the Sooloty has spent fifteen hundred dollars wisely and judiciously in improvements in tho Fair Grounds, in erect ing stables. Tor horses, buildings and stalls for cuttle, pons for hugs, sheep und goats, and other nooded conveniences necessary for tho comfort and ploasuro of visitors.

MKSSUS EDITORS: Will you ploaso allow mo a little spnoo in your valuable paper in reply to an ndvortiaomont addressed "To Tho Public School Toaohors of Ooonoo County." I nm snrprisod at tho appeal mado by my friend, Vico President of tho Toaohors' Union, roquosting tho tcachors, privato and public, to introduoo Sanford's Arithmetics into their schools. At tho inst mooting of tho Union a rosolution was unanimously passed, adopting Robinson's Arithmetics in exclusion of all others in tho schools of tho county. Tho first and principle plank in tho plat form of thc Teachers' Union is to adopt a uniform system of text books? Tho selection was mado and adopted nt tho last mooting of thc Union. In compliance with that r?solu tion I have commenced tho introduction of all books on tho list. 1 have heard a number of distinguished porsons expresa themselves ns being highly gratified at tho idoa of a un'for ?mi ty of text books throughout tho county Tho plan heretofore has been a chango of books with a change of toaohors; which has creatod an enormous expenso and a groat draw?baok in tho ndvanoemont of pupils. Tho quotion now arises will tho twonty four enrol od members of tho Teachers' Union comply with tho resolution adopted by thom, or will they comply with tho advertisement of Dr. J. P. SmolUor, or will thoy lot tho uniformity of text-books provo a failure. I hope President IL Strong will call an extra meeting of tho Union, or settle ibis matter fmtisfuctorily some way. Let it be rcmomborcd, "United wo stand, divided wo fall." J. N.
