L'lllI.ADtil.lMIIA, Jillie 'JO.-Till' committee on resolutions completed its preparation of the plat torin at 12.35 p. m., to-day. Senator fairbank, (mairmull of! the Committee, immediately left the : Hotel Walton, when' it had been pitt in-?hap , for the Convention ; Hall. Following is a text ol' the docu ment : The Republicans ol" the Hulled States, through their chosen repre sentatives, met in convention, look ing back upon an unsurpassed record of achievement and looking forward into a groat Held ol' duly and oppor tunity, and appealing lo the judg ment of their cou ut ry men, make these declarations : Tiie expectation in which tho American people turned hom thc Democratic part)', iii power four years ago, to tho Republican Chief Magistrate and Republican Congress has been met and satisfied. When the pimple then assembled at tin polls after a tenn of Democratic legislation and administration, busi ness was dead, industry paralyzed and the national credit disastrously impaired. The country's capital was hidden away and ils labor dis tressed ami unemployed. The Democrats had no other plan with which to improve the ruinous con ditions, which they had themselves produced, than to coin silver at the ratio of 10 to 1. The Republican I party denouncing this plan as sure to produce conditions even worse than those from which relief was sought, promised to restore pros perity by means ol' two legislative measures-a protective tariff and a law making gold a standard ol' value. The people bj great majori ties issued to the Republican party a commission to enact these laws. This commission has been exe cuted and thc Republican promise is redeemed. Prosperity, more general ami moro abundant than we have ever known, has followed these en actments. There is m> longer con troversy as lo the value ol" any gov ernment obligations. IC very Atneri CAM dollar is a gold dollar or its as sured equivalent, and ils American credit stands higher '.han that of any nation. Capital is fully employed and everywhere labor is prolitably occupied. No single fact can more strikingly toll tho story of what Re publican government means to tho country than this-that while during the whole period of one hundred and seven years from 1790 to l*!?7, there way au excess of exports over im ports of only $08.1,028,-100, there lias been in the short three years of thc present Republican administration and excess ol' exports over imports in the enormous sum of * I, Ho,?!J7, 001, and while tho American people, sustained by this Republican legis lation, have been achieving these splendid triumphs in their business and commerce, they have conducted ami in victory concluded n war for liberty and humanity.

WI- endorse tho administration of William McKinley. Its acts have boon established in wisdom and in patriotism, and ,-.t homo and abroad it has distinctly eleva ted and extended the influence of tho American nation. Walking untried pallis and facing unforeseen responsibilities, President McKinley has been in every situation tho true American patriot and the upright statesman, clear of vision, strong in judgment, linn in action, always in spiring and deserving tho confidence, of his countrymen. In asking the American people lo endorse this Republican record and to renew their commission to tho Republican party we remind them of thc tact that the menace to their prosperity has always resided in Democratic principles and no less in the general capacity of the D?mo cratie party to conduct public affairs. Tiie prime essential of business pros perity is public conlidenco in thc gund sense of the problem of ad ministration and legislation. That eonlidence the Democratic, party has never earned, lt is hopelessly inade quate, and the country's prosperity with Democratic successes at the polls halls and ceases. We renew our allegiance to the principle ot thc gold standard and declare our confidence in the wisdom <d* the legislation of the 50th Con gress by which the parity of all our money and the stability of our cur rency on a gold basis has been se cured.

Our present dependence upon foreign shipping for nine-tenths of our foreign carrying trade is a great loss to tho industry of this country, lt is also a serious danger to our trade, for its sudd a withdrawal in thc event of European war would seriously cripple our expanding foreign commerce. Tho national defense and naval efiioiency o? this country moreover supply a compelling reason for legis lation which will enable us to recover our former place among thc trade carrying fleets of the world. The nation owes a debt of pro found gratitude to thc soldiers and sailors who have fought its battles, and it is the government's duty, to provide for tho survivors and widows and orphans of those who fell in the country's wars. The pension laws founded on this just sentiment should bc liberal and liberally administered and preference should be given in thc employment of public, servants to soldiers and sailors or to their widows and orphans. Wc recommend the policy of the Republican party in maintaining the efllcicnoy of tho civil service. The administration has aided wisely in its efforts to secure for public service in Cuba, Porto liico, Hawaii and the Philippine Islands only those whoso fitness has been determined by train ing and experience. Wo believe that the employment in the public service in those territories should bo confined as far as possible to their inhabitants. LICK AT SOUTH HUN STATUS.

Jones has as much right as any man in the Stale to bo a| candidate for Hie United States Sen ate, we do not wish to question. Pos sibly he has some fitness for the posi tion. Of that wc have no infor mation. In tho absence of other lights we can only assume that he is a candidate for the Senate in the hope that ho will poll the vote that went to Featherstone two years ago, or that ho will derive nd vantage from tho candidacy of Colonel Hoyt. If this is Mr. Jones's idea, wo think ho may as well step down mid out without subjecting himself to further trouble or expense. Prohibition is not a Federal issue just now. It is merely a State issue. Senator Tillman is not an ideal representative in the United States Senate probably, but he is a very able one-in fact tho ablest in sight-and no matter how bitterly ho may have been opposed in limes past as a candidate for Governor <>f South Carolina, there are only n small number of voters in the State who would wish htm turned ont. of his present position. I.cave the race between Tillman and .Iones, and eliminate all of Tillman's for mer supporters-the old reform party-and Tillman would win two lo one. We believe Tillman would win in a primary participated in by Prohibiliniiislsulonc. And bc ought to win. For South Carolina to take Lim out of tho United States Sen ate alibis time would be positively idiotic. Looking at the matter from this Standpoint, WO are unable to sec any more reason in thc candidacy of Mr. Jones, than we wei able to sec in the candidacy of Mr. C. Walt Whitman.

THE SOUTH AND EXPANSION. Sensible, Statesmanlike) Discussion ol a Groat Quostion. [Souator Mol.nuriu in Leslie's Wookly.] "For tlio futuro, national expan sion is the hope of tho South. Her industrial developments will bc hind ered and tinnily circumscribed with out it. With tho now markets it will create and thc power it will givo her in all industrial pursuits, it means the enrichment of tho South and the nation. The peoplo of tho South cannot now fully realizo tho industrial progress made in that sec tion in thc last two decades, nor properly np precinto tho transcend ant advantages to grow out of ex pansion. The transition from a condition of business paralysis, pro duced hy a disastrous war and re construction trials, to ono of mar velous industrial activity and devel opment, has been so sudden and un expected that it really seems to them a mirage. When they fully awake to the true situation and realizo the wonderful advantage, made and tho industrial possibilities of the South, they will bo able to see what tho South will gain by national expan sion. "What is the true condition of the South, and what is necessary for its continued improvement? She has a monopoly of the agricultural staple of cotton, which is the world wide influence. No other country has ever had such a monopoly of any staple. In 1898 the cotton crop was 11,274,890 bales. The cotton grow ing region measures 560,000 square miles. With tho proper demand and other favorable conditions, th ore are colton soils enough in the South to produce 11)0,000,000 bales. There are enough horses and mules on the farms ol* the cotton growing Stales to-day lo make :i crop of 00,000,000 bah?. There are l,f>00,000,000 peo ple in the world. Possibly 7,000,00(1 are interested in the growing, hand ling and manufacturing of cotton, willi about 1,000,000 more interested in its sale. The balance of the human family are consumers. In addition to this, there are $40,000,000 investee in oil mills, an industry still in its in fancy. There is no bi-product il the world whose possibilities com pare with those of colton seed. "The South is making rapid stridei in thc manufacture of raw cotton In issn she had 0G7,000 spindles representing a capital of $21,000,000 Today she has over 5,000,001 spindles and more than $125,000, 000 invested in cotton mills. Then are mills now under constructioi representing about ^"?0,000,000 mon With thc same rate of increase fo the next twenty years (and it wi! be accelerated), tho South will hav over Lif),000,000 spindles, represent mg over ?(iOO,OO0,000 invested. Ii l^U'.l her mills consumed abou 1,400,000 hales of cotton. In 192 they will consume 7,000,000 bale With tho advantages of climate cheaper labor, coal and other sup plies, she can compete with th world in furnishing cheap collo goods. "The demand for these goods i sure to grow with civilization. Noi only about half tho people in th world are supplied with cotton good made by modern machinery. Th production of manufactured goods i now nearly double the amount, neeei Bary for our population. Now mai kids must be found for this surplu which will continue to increase. I thc Kant ia a population of tee m in millions Heeding our cotton good which are so well suited to thc ol mate and people. Our Southe) manufacturers have already reach? this market, and with an increase 1 our present trade and the openii of new markets, we can fi ii il au OU let for all our surplus products. Tl Orient furnishes the only unexplori timi undeveloped market in tl world. The field of trade ever where has been occupied. What dazzling picture it. is to fancy tl South raising 50,000,000 bales of o< ton and manufacturing half of it tu realizing the rich rewards of disposil of the products in the K?st. The South has a workable C< Held of -17,000 sqtiaro miles, wito development of only about 1,0 square miles. The output al pr< ct is only about lt),000,000 lol Willi the entire area developed, t i amount of coal produced would hundreds of millions of tons. Wh the home demand is supplied, wi an inviting prospect lucre will be the exportation of this surplus CC ''Thc iron industry in thc South i> the infancy of its dovclopmc Last year there were 2,500,000 ti i of pig iron produced. With t vast iron domain almost uttdovolop no one can conceive of tho jiossi extent of its production. Markets will bo needed for this surplus, and tiloso can only bo found in other countries. "Alabama coko has gono to Japan, and moro of it would havo gone, but the homo demand exceeds tho supply. So with tho oxport of iron. The Richmond Locomotive works aro competing with tho world in export ing locomotivos, and a Maryland stool company has hoon furnishing steel rails for tho Siberian railroad. "Tho South po.-'sessos one-half of tho standing timber of tho United States. Last year it produced 11,000,000,000 feet of lumber. If over there is a surplus over homo demand, thou new markets to which it could bo exported will bc needed. "With the. staphs raw materials of cotton, coal, iron ore and timber, tho production of which will in tho near future far exceed the homo demand, tho South will need new markets. Nothing can furnish these but na tional expansion. The acquisition of the Philippines has opened up opportunities for creating and pre serving trade in the Bast. Nowhere can tho samo advantages he found. If there is no national expansion, which necessarily includes and leads to commercial expansion, the South will reach her utmost limit in indus trial development when tho home demand is supplied, and this means tho curtailment of her production of the raw and manufactured materials and tho vanishing of her splendid possibilities. "To oppose national expansion is for the Southern people to oppose further industrial development, to op pose the opening of new markets for their surplus products, und to invito the loss of millions of dollars to the producers and manufacturers of raw staple materials. The South is capa ble of infinite expansion from tho fer tility of her soil and her undeveloped resources and manufacturing indus tries in tho production of what the entire world needs. This expansion can only lie hindered or prevented by an unwise opposition to tho policy of national expension. The South has everything to gain and nothing to lose hy favoring it."

H. Wallace, who has just become editor of the Greenville News, will novor say anything truer than this : There is entirely too much politics in South Carolina, anti there are too many politicians. Our people set too much store hy "issues" and place too high a value on "views." anti too small a value on tho character and capacity of those who aspire to pub lic oflico. We are too much con cerned about measures and too little about men. Therefore shallow anti unprincipled demagogues who can catch tho popular breeze and trim their sails accordingly, who often have no real opinion of their own, and are mentally incapable of having any, get into high and responsible places, while mon of intellect and character, however patriotic and however well equipped for public service, arc rejected because they are too honest, and brave to profess allegiance to some political vagary that has captured the popular favor for the moment. The consequence is that South Carolina is n (ti ic tod with many officers of indifferent character and mean ability, and the demagogue is preferred to tho states man. ?

Senator Tillman said that while the constitu tion and the laws prohibit tho sale of whiskey after sundown, under a high license system, run for private gain, there would always be access to sugar and lemons through a side door.
