Is Thoro Democratic Unrest ?
A writer in another column over
tho signature of "Veritas," says that
"ns tho timo approaches for discuss
ing the issues involved in thc coining
State canvass, * * * it is more ap
parent than ever that there is wide
spread Democratic unrest and dis
satisfaction all over thc State on one
single point," &o. Tho "singlo point
is," says the writer, "that the elec
tion of 1870, which redeemed the
State from the Republican party
rule has been seized upon by a very
small but shrewed set of politl?n)
leaders who have milked the South
Carolina political cow ever since, for
themselves, their friends and next of
kin." This is a pretty strong charge,
and whether it can be fully sustained
or not, it must be admitted Hint
there has been since, the redemption
of the State in 1870 a good deal of
"bossism,'' or ring management, in
making "slates" which were carried
out and consummated nt nominating
Conventions; for it is a well KIIOWII
fact that since 1870 a nomination
at Democratic Convention has been
evui valent to au election. Tudor tho
peculiar circumstances in which they
were placed, the white people of the
Stale, the Democracy of the State,
for their own interest and the inter
est of the State-for self-preserva
tion, in other words-felt constrained
to ratify the action of nominating
Conventions. 1 lonee, il was only
necessary for the wire manipulators
to lix up a "gond ticket" for the
Convention-a ticket composed of
competent, available men--'lind it
was put through with lillie or no
diflloulty; and once irptjjiiuiilcd bj
the Convent ioig.j ii^i.l?c?rTTiin and oleo-1
tion b'vjjno people was assured.
Uns the political wheel Iris been
)Iving in South ('anilina for tho
ist twelve yours. As a rule tho
officers seleeled have been efficient,
honest and upright, and the admin
istration of the affairs of the Slate
has been clean. Il is not to the men
placed in the sovcr.d Stille offices to
whioh objection oan lie made, but to
the methods adopted, ibo faction
that placed them there, or made
their election not only possible bul a
certainty.
What is the remedy ? ll lien ill
the power, in the will ol' tho people.
And who constitute the people? It
is scarcely necessary to say that the
agricultural class, (he while farmers,
compose about eighty per cent, ol'
the voting si reno;! h, ibo Democracy,
ol' thc State ; and il has frequently
been thrown in their teeth thal if
Conventions are manipulated by
cliques and rings, or il' ibo Legis
lature is responsible for objectionable
legislation, il is the faull of tho
farmers; thal they had the power
and opportunity l<> have matters
different. Are these allegations
true? Have the farmers heretofore
taken tho interest in political mailers
that they should have done, especially
ill the maller ol' selecting Slat
officers? lt' not, why not? The
allegation thal the farmers have
neglected to take the necessary in
terest ill political milliers that ihoy
should have done may, mid WC think
does, apply correctly to some sections
of the Slate, but it is not generally
applicable. This inactivity, how
ever, has liol been thc (rouble. The
real trouble has been, or loo frc
rjllClllly been, that when the fanners
selected their delegates to nomina
ting Conventions, while they chose
good, (rue men, they generally seul
men inexperienced in political meth
ods, who were bound to come in con
tact with well-skilled, experienced
politicians. And so it will always
be, to some extent al least, while tho
system of nominating Slate ellice rs
by Conventions exists. Hence, we
favor primaries for tho nominating
of every officerj from ( lo vernor down.
The primary system lias its ob
jections, loo, ii may be said. This
we gran), bul i! bas fewer than tho
present plan ; and in our judgment
there Will always bo moro or less
"Democratic unrest" as long as the
thc present Convention system of
nominating Slate officers obtains, if
WO would have harmony in the pal ly,
then, a chango from thc present sys
tem to that of the primary should
be adopted. This is one of Ibo
needed reforms. Lei the people say
who their Slate officers shall be.
When ibo people can go lo the polls
and volo for the man or men ol' their
choice they will turn Old and lake
mort! interest in political malters,
and wo think they ought lo do so.

ms SECOND ADDltBSS.
To the Editor of The News a/<d
Courier: In nnswor ',0 tho communi
oation of Col. I redol? .Jones, pub
lished in Thc News and Courter on
tho 8(1 instant, allow nie to say that
I am afraid iie has taken a one-sided
view of the call for a Convention of
the Farmers' Association, which is
to he hehl at Columbia <?? March 27.
proximo. The eall, when boiled
down and tersely staled amounts to
this:
First. A demand for a more
economical government by the reduc
tion of expenses, salaries and unnec
essary "existing institutions" where
over practicable and possible, which
will insure general reduction of taxes,
as well as the benefits of au agricul
tural college, without increasing the
burdens of our people.
Second. A demand for cheaper,
more practical and more soicntiiio
education for the farmers and me
chanics, artisans and laborers in the
Slate, all of which is embraced in
the demand for au agricultural col
lege.
Third. A demand that the Fand
scrip ami Hatch funds, the agricul
tural bureau, and fertilizer funds be
used for the benefit of those who
pay them, or for the purpose for
which they were intended, instead of
being diverted and monopolized for
other "existing institutions" as they
have been.
Fourth. A demand that the rail
road commission be made of nonie
use to the State, or abolished alto
gether, so ilint thc responsibility may
rest squarely upon the railroads tor
any mismanagement ami oppression
until such time as the people may
see lil to curb and control them, by
fair and proper laws.
Fifth. A demand for reapportion
ment of Representatives and Sena
tors in the General Assembly, ami
also in our Democratic. Conventions,
so that all parts of ?he Stale may
lu- fairly represented, ami (be State
freed from the autocrat ie. control of
certain parlies and places, rcgnrd
I'-s-of tho will ami wishes (d' the
people.
Sixth. A demand for a constitu
tional convention by which our judi
ciary and corta in fundamental laws
could be reformed, thereby making
a better and more economical gov
ernment of the State possible.
Seventh. A demand that the pen
itentiary system be so conducted as
to give the greatest possible return
to the Stale, holli in money, and in
the improvement of our public
works, roads, highways, bridges,
etc.
Kighlh. A demand that the
South Carolina University, which
has had no opposition from us, should
take care of its own interests, and
thal its friends and advocates should
cease their opposition to the Clem
son Agricultural and Mechanical
College, for in truth there is no nec
essary antagonism between the
t wo.
These are lin* principal demands
maile in the call which I issued, at
the request of the executive com
mittee (d' the Farmers' Association,
and the call ends as follows :
"We therefore issue the call for a
convention of those Democrats win?
sympathize with our view-; and pur
poses, as herein set forth to meet in
Columbia in the House of Represen
tatives on Thursday, the 27th day (d'
March proximo, at \'l o'clock M.,
to nominate a ticket for every State
oflleer, from Governor down, to be
pul in the lield bu- rat i tient ion or re
jection by tlie next Democratic
Stale Convention, and wo pledge
ourselves tonbido the result, whether
that is for us or against MN "
Now is there a single demand
made therein thal was not made in
tho Farmer.-' Convent ion of ISS(>,
and which lias not been repealed
time Sud again, both in ami out ol'
our conventions, up lo the present
time? The farmers do represent
about eighty percent, of the people
of the Stale, and they have endeav
ored by every means in their power
to secure the benefits and remedy
thc evils alluded to in tho call, and
they have also endeavored to "mod
ify thc laws ol' the Si.ile by other
met hods," and now, al ler having
In eu bitterly opposed and thwarted at
every turn, they have been compelled
tn call a convention (d' all those who
sympathize with them and their views
for the purpose ol' nominating a
lick? t which will go before tho peo
ple and advocate them.
The call makes no dist incl ion as
to professions, callings or classes, and
all "artisans, mechanics and laborers,
as well as all professional and mer
cantile classes who sympathize with
us," are invited to co-operate.
Certainly "the Democratic party
is strong enough, and good enough,"
and we do not propose to use any
other, bul we certainly have the
right inside of tin? party to meet,
form?late our views, let our wants
be made known, ami put representa
tives In the lield who will advocate
them, and most surely, we admit the
right ol' others who do not agree
with us to pursue a similar course.
Of course it would suit some people
for lis to go along in thc old ruts,
ami (ot other people control tis, ns
they see lit, but wc have found that
tho "usual methods" aro inadequate
to tho occasion, particularly as they
are under tho control of "existing
institutions."
The Clemson College will not bo
secure until we have a Legislature
perfectly in sympathy with us, and
our other demands will not bo com
plied with until we have a Deino

OrUllU (k/OI]YOIll>|QIJ, .um <? >'i.nv viuc
eminent in perfect accord with us.
lt" we sit still, rely upon "ordinary
methods," allow our Democratic
Convention, State Coverntnent and
Qenoral Assembly to be controlled
as they have been, we can only ex
pect a repetition of the ring rule
which has so long been the bane of
the State. (J. W. SllKIX.
Laurens Court House, S. C., Feb
ruary 7, 1800.
The Alliance is (trowing*
Thc Cotton Plant says : The
Slate President and State Organizer ?
finished their tour of the Stale on ,
last Saturday, their last meeting
being held at Anderson, and returned ,
lo their homes the first of this week,
and in due course of time the results
ol' their observations ami investiga- ,
lions will be reported at length in ?
the columns of the Cotton Plant.
While not intending to anticipate
thc reports of these officials, we take
thc liberty of saying that they will ,
show the order lo be in first rate eon- ,
dil ion in every section of the Stale.
They have conferred willi represen
tatives of the order in nearly every
county, and with only two exceptions
thc most cheerful and hopeful
accounts were received. The breth
ren generally arc ?ll the best of
spirits and are more enthusiastic
than al any t ime in thc history of the
order in this State.
The results of co-operation in
buying supplies last year gave abund
an! satisfaction, and SUV cd lens of
thousands of dollars lo thc members,
and the prospects arc that even
greater savings will be made the
pr?sent year.
Thc opposition of merchants and
agents of manufacturing concerns
willi which thc order was confronted
a year ago, and which in some coun
ties engendered bitterness ami ill
feeling between the farmers and
themselves, has in a great measure
subsided. With few exceptions, the
merchants and agents in towns and
cities are now willing, and in some
cases seem anxious, lo secure the
trade of the members, and evi
dently better understand the pur
poses of thc order.
Thc co-operative efforts of thc
fanners arc no longer regarded as a
blow at thc legitimate mercantile
interests of thc country, and thc
grim spectre (d' disaster and financial
ruin which so many business men
foresaw resulting from the move
incut has proven lo be only the fruit
ol' wild imaginings. The oilier bas
stood thc test ?d' one year with great,
(.redil to itself, and this fact has
given confidence ill its methods.
Wc have yet to hear of a single
agent of the order, or of a single
sub-Alliance in the Slate, which has
failed lo meet honest obligations.
The organization is gaining in
material strength every day, and is
proving a blessing to every interest
fostered by our people. It is build
ing up agriculture, the great creative
industry of our State, and which
everybody recognizes as the one on
which all others depend.

?Ulcer Rutledge and others made a

The influx of Foreign Capital.
About cighleon months ago,
investments of foreign capital, par
ticularly that of British capital,
began V> he made in American com
mercial enterprises.
This investment was suggested
and stimulated by the organization
of a Corporation which "syndicated"
the Hale of the .Sir Edwin Guinness
ale and stout breweries, of Scotland.
The surplus capita! of the world's
metropolis having turned such a
quick penny in this speculation,
inunediately sought for a new field,
and naturally attention was directed
lo this country. A thorough system
of exploitation began. London and
oilier large English municipalities
have a body of highly trained and
skillful men called "chartered ac
countants," whose reports are ac
cepted with implicit faith by all
financial institutions in England.
The task which these men had to
preform was to verify the book
accounts of the various institutions,
take an inventory of the plants ex
amined, and substantiate statements
made in regard to business. The
work of investing in American
enterprises in a short lime became a
regular organized business. A large
number of properties have been
examined by these chartered account
nuts, and negotiated through the
brokers of various syndicates. It is
not one but many different organized
linnncial associations which have
taken up these properties and "iloatod"
ur "placed" them.
The result, thc editor of the
Architecture um/ liuiUlinf/ believes,
will be highly beneficial to the indus
trial interests of the country, pro
vided the venders keep good faith
with the vendees. This provision is
necessary, because the system pur
sued generally is to buy any given
property outright, and retain some
one who has been prominently con
nected with the business to superin
tend its continuance under a salary.
Thus the business is conducted In
experienced hands. The idea in
volved in the purchase on the part
of the vendee is that for himself
and his associates he can command a
business which will pay as an invest
ment tillich more than the paltry
two or three per cent which the
same money will command nt home.
The investments taken are generally
sound, substantial, thoroughly estab
lished business ventures, and tho
direct consequence bf this influx of
foreign capital, so far, has hi en
highly beneficial. The ultimate
tendency, we believe, will bo to
secure further investment ill enter
prises that need additional capital to
promote further progress. We do
not believe in the alleged statements
of the opponents of these Invest
ments, that the ultimate outcome
will be a drain on our resources to
enrich a foreign bondholder, for
whenever that point is roached that
his interests are greater in this coun
try than in the land of his nativity,
it has generally resulted in the mov
ing to thal country of the foreign
bondholder. It is a monstrous and
pernicious doctrine to uphold that
the foreign bondholder has been a
drain upon ibis country's resources.
On lld- contrary, we owe to him the
moans by which our resources have
been brought lo their present great
development, and his coining should
he encouraged rather than impeded.
