Tillman's Letter to Editor John 0. Wilson and His Editorial Reply. In tho Slate campaign meeting nt! Ilcnnettsville on July IS tho various' candidates for State oflieos made ? practically tho same speeches as heretofore. The new feature intro duced into the campaign was tho speech of Senator Tillman, which is reported by William Hanks in the Slate ns follow s: Senator Tillman was greeted with cheering. In two weeks it will bc lifteen yours since the people of Marlboro discovered Ki n Tillman. Ile maile his Hist speech here in I SS.'?. Their, appreciation ol' his efforts then had much to do will, shaping affairs in South ( indina foi' the last tell years. Ile had been Ut home plodding along, rending papers ami books, nnd doing ;i devil of a lot of thinking, not knowing that he had the gift ol' gah. There must have been an occasion. The time was ripe. Ile happened to step tor ward wlloh tree speech was sweet to the people, Th'1}' h ni always found him right where he -aid he would lie. ; (Cheers.) The Slate campaign is one of the direct outgrowths ol" the reform movement. The people eau get HotUG idea of the lilness ol' the candidates. There lire a lol ot' can didates for these ottieos, hut nobody wants to hr Senator. It is an honor to have (lie llllllosl unanimous endorsement for a place ot' trust. His old friends are stick ing to him ami ;i host ot' m w mies are supporting him. Ile is weighed down with thc magnitude of the responsibility. lt he has accomplished anything nt Washington ii i> hec.iit.se hr fell tlu-consciousness ol' the support ot tin people at li?me. I le wanted io take the liberty to give the people sumo advice, li he were a politi cian he would keep his mouth -hut. hut as a leader he must . ay some thing. The State campaign is degenera tiiig into something that is not good mi account of the utiinher of candi dates. There is ncccs.sarially a linn limit. They gel up here ami sa) their Hltle speeches ami sit down. They cannot debute and show their mellie. The people get a half di gested idea of the campaign. Tile people are getting back to a condi tion ol stagnation-- the green -rum is rising over their heads. The peo ple of South Carolina are doing wrong to gag the candidates, The candidates are not saying anything new or the newspapers are not doing the square thing. is it important for half dozen men to dis ci,-- railroads? lt i- helter for two candidates to talk one day ami two the nexi if 1 hey talk their Olli ?111(1 say something.

Whiskey is usually drank where bought' other articles ?d' commerce are taken home. The history of former prohibition contests ill this Slate is that town after (own would go udry" and ihoii would go "wet" at the nevi election. When a tOWn was dry under prohibition there was just a- miieii drinking and ho revenue, There were05,00(1 Note in IS'.?'.! ami but 00,000 votes on the prohibition question won by Injinu VOlCH, Childs i ll tl'Oil lied an ironclad bil), The [?Ogislaturo is always a skittish crowd.

Mu himself lind taken this hill, hod knocked oui some drastic fen? lures and inserted tho clause? which allowed thc State to sell liquor under dispensary regulations. . This was passed hy the Senate and later hy tho House. It was an issue in 1804 (ami was adopted.) Ho himself had kept thc constitutional convention from inserting the law in the consti tution, body ami breeches, lt wns settled in 1800 and nguiu in I SOS. How many times must il be Bottled to be settled ? The people must quit voting for personal preferences and settle this issus OUCO and for all. The prohibitionists are honorable men und led by au honorable man, but they polled but 10,000 votes last time. Charleston voted for prohibi tion in the lust election. Are they enforcing prohibition now? There is an unholy alliance of preachers and barkeepers lcd by Col. Hoyt, and yet yon people vote for their personal preferences. Voil are not fit to vote, t Laughter.) Marlboro is a model county, they say. They have never sold whiskey by law. "Oh, you hypo* orita! When I was Governor I heard of wagons coming down herc from North Carolina. When" do you got your liquor ? I know you drink it. You love it. You go down to tho depot on Saturday eve ning and you will lind a whole press ear loaded with jugs and demi johns." Tillman replied that this is a knotty problem. The Constitutional Convention in its liberality t?? Charleston declared that there should bo a true bill by a grand jury before there could be a chango of venue. The grand jury in Charles ton will never lind a true bill against .i blind tiger ami is lying. Hut if he were Governor ho would put Hf ty constables in Charleston and raise hell on Chieco's street. Ile called upon the people to make the candidates for tho L?gislature declare themselves over their signa tures in ?he county papers and run squarely on the liquor issue. If a man were licensed lo liquor :::: tier constitutional provisions it would be a failure. Ile would keep open Sundays, circus days and after sundown and he would sell as mean liquor as lie could got. Ih'hind the prohibitionists como the high license people-Gonzales lending the van-and they are inarching against tho comm >n foe. Ile disclaimed meddling and said he had only given his views for what they were VVOt'lll. "What about .Maieus?" inquired some ono. Tillman then said that the Demo cratic party had lined up and re united. We have thc I {( publicans ni ice. lilyan has five chances of winnini; to his one in 1800.

Thor? is no problem which more directly involves the very vitals of Slate life than that of the sale of intoxicating beverages. It is a question which involves the very fundamentals of personal ami civic righteousness. The question before us is a specific alternative : the dispensary or prohibition. The question is this : Shall the Stale sell intoxicating beveragos lo its citizens or shall it not? That is to say, shall you and I and all the rest of the people together sell to our fellow citizens ns a beverage intoxi cating liquors for the pecuniary profit there is in il ? Shall there be a State liquor selling establishment, set up for the purpose ol' gratifying the depraved appetite tor alcoholic beverage, of which you and I shall be joint proprietors and jointly reap thi' proIiis? Vondoris a poor lei low who is cursed willi an abomina ble appetite for drink. His family needs all the money be eau earn, and the poor man needs to cultivate sobriety for his body's sake and for his soul's sake. Now, the question is, shall you and I, joined together in this great combino called the Slate, agree to sell that man tho whiskey which we know will injure his body and his soul, and impover ish his family, and put tho profits of :'. in our pockets';' I don't know how you all feel about it, but, ns far as I am concerned, I answer that question with a negative in which is We are determ in order to do so, he go for casli. s to 12-o.cnt I'KliCAUiS ni All Organdies, cost.

There is but one way to solve tho liquor problem. It never will he solved until it is solved that way, and that is by a law prohibiting its sale ami the enforcement of that law. Mere is a traille which is evil, and only evil, for which not one good thing thing can be said, or ever was said, willoh dishonors God, which curses society, which des troy 08 men, budy and soul, which corrupts all who have anything to do with it in any shape or form whatever ; the evils of which have been declared by thc great statesman, Gladstone, to bc greater than those of war, famine and preatilenco combined. Presi dent Kruger said at the beginning ol' thc South African war that for thc acquisition of those Republics Great Uritian would pay a price which would stagger humanity, but thc horrors of the South African war are utterly insignificant compared with thc horrors wrought every year of our lives by the liquor trafilo, Ile is a very phenomenally bold man who will stand up and claim for it any present our ulterior benefits to humanity and civilisation, ft has been denounced as no other business in the world has been denounced ; and there has never been a man yet who could put into language the utter detestation which every right minded mau feels for it.

Now the question is this: What s thc right altitude of law, of gov >rnmcnt, of civilization, towards a nisi ness like that? .Manifestly there s but one right attitude, and that is o prohib?) and proscribe it. And >?. I here we are in the State of South Dardina debating among ourselves he question whether we will con? iinie in the business or not? We nigh! to answer that question in the icgative by a unanimous majority lor several reasons. In the first place, as I have just nli.ualcd, thc sale of liquor as a leverage is morally wrong .and the Slate cannot make a w rong act righi l>)'doing ii. The moral sonlimcni if the people condemns it ill an indi? ;. id II.al. Now then in the name of -elise can it justify it in thc State? Nothing can alter thc fad that in telling liquor as a beverage lo ils .iii/, ul - Im- a profil the Stale is doing tn Immoral act, and no sort of logi .al qllihhing and no sort, of dema gogic appeal to the prejudice or the cupidity of the i.plc can cover up Illili Himple fact. The Siateof South Carolina cannot afford to defy moral laws and tramplo tho eloarost moral principie? under itu feet. Above thc people, above government, above legal statutes is tho everlasting moral law. It cannot bo set aside by Stato lcgip'i.toi-B ; it cannot be nullified by dispensary acts ; it cannot be sneered out of Court by a United States Senator oven. The moral law i stands, whether wo vote for it or not, and if tho people vote against I the moral law the worse it is for that i people, that's all ! In the next placo the dispensary corrupts tho ollieial life of the Stale. I Cf course, it does. It is an immoral 1 act and whenever anybody or any- < thing, man or State,does an immoral i act it is corrupted by it. Why in recent years we have had demonstra- < tiona of tbi? faet ad nauseam. The ' fact is that the Stale cannot engage 1 in the liquor business without being i corrupted by it. 1 The dispensary inevitably becomes ? a corrupt political machine, a fester- , ingsorc in the heart of the body poli tic. lt is impossible to provont it. ] It is in the very nature of the thing. , It is as certain and inevitable as , gravitation. There is positively no ] way to organizo and conduct tho ? business of selling liquor as a bever- ? age that will save it from corruption. f I eau easily understand why certain t politicians should be anxious tv) per- . pot nato the thing; it isa machino i ready-made to their hand and ideally j ^ adapted to do the dirty work for the i people who control it. Lot us bc \ done with it for the sake of purity j and morality and decency in the ofl?- \ eial life of the State. , In the next place tho dispensary j makes its appeal to the people as a i moral institution, as a restraint upon 1 the vice of drinking and the crimes ( resulting therefrom. Hut in thc t very teeth of those moral proton- , lions it makes the appeal also to the ? cupidity of tho pOOplo. Its profit ? feature makes it to the j oouniary interest of the State and county and 1 eily lo have the dispensary do just e as largo a business as possible. s lu one part it proposes to restrain i: vice and in the other part it proposes 1 to encourage it. It proposes both as v a moral and a financial enterprise1, s ? J. ir entire stock of Su 1 down to prices the I.A NV XS at 7 cents. jawns, and all light ! ce at cost. ay ! n's Oxford Ties These and many ot? e rather than carry t will pay you to c< ood stock to select f kW ARTER butin so far as one of these pur- o poses is promoted the other is noces- I I sarily defeated. And it is perfectly J v patent that tho financial cud sought in will inevitably bring to naught its ii moral aims. In other words, what- a OVOr good there may be in tho ?nstt- n tution is inevitably submerged by (j thc evil there is in it. As certainly f< as a stone fulls to the earth tho dis- g I ton.sa ry accommodates itself to tho d vicious tendencies of the evil ole- o tneiils of society. lt no longer makes an aggressive light against blind tigers, and ill order to coin pete with the blind tigers, which spring up under its vory shadow, it farms out "beer privileges" and ?' thus brings back the old licensed C saloon under a false pretense. In fl order ti. save the dispensary front hoing swamped by the "tigers" and j a beer houses tho restrictions thrown p around tho ?ale of liquor in the dis- a pensnry gradually pass into innoou- p ons desuetude. The people only ! I: have to ft COO pt tho dispensary as the final solution of the liquor problem and turn their attention away from it to set! the Whole thing sink into t'< the most contemptible sham, which t it hus already dono to a very largo extent, and to soo all the evils of tho old saloon system brought in under tho clonk of a moral institution, a process which is going on hoforo our eyes, and to see a political whiskey machine intrenched in tho capital of tlie Slate, which adds to its unspeak able corruption, the unspeakable shame of hypocrisy. Thc only argument against prohi bition which tho dispensary sponsors [inn logically bring is that it. is im practicable ; that it cannot be, and will not be, enforced. I shall say in reply that the dispensary, so far as its moral aims arc concerned, is not now ni forced, and will inevitably be less iud less enforced as ti ino goes by. And again I say that if it could bo jcrtifiod that with prohibition there would bc just as mitch liquor drunk LO a gill as without it I should still favor it, for tho reason that it places Jie business under the ban of tho law md places tho State in the right moral attitude towards tho traffic. And, again, consider this, that pro hibition would have this decided ad vantage over the dispensary in tho matter of enforcement: It would linve behind it the undivided sup port of all those pooplo whose con* sciences are opposed to the trudie, md that, I think, is a matter worthy d'grave consideration. These forces ire not behind the dispensary to-day, lot even so much as they were at me time. We eau sec very clearly bat if we do not advance to prohibi ten we shall have gained no point n moral principio, and that we shall ind ourselves in a position of moral lisaatcr on this liquor question, hav ng on our hands a vast political iquor selling machine, manipulated >y unscrupulous politicians, who so llll'O by means of it their own ad van age rather than tho restraint of vice. Ami as a corrupt political machine Salan himself couldn't improve on t! Hut they din in our ears that pro libition is impracticable. Impraoti lablo ! Lot us have a little common ense about this question. It is no nore impracticable than many other aws already on our statute book and rhich no sane or civilized man would oe repealed. It is no more impraeti mmer Goods, and, it will make them boohl .MADi:AS at 7 cents. Summer Goods at > and Sandals ier goods we have them over until )me at once and rom. & co. able than the law against murder. doubt if lhere would be as many ?obitions of a prohibition law, or ns ?any violators of a prohibition law, i tho County of Greenville, S. (.., in year as th01*0 are violators of tho lurder law. And lhere is no sort of nest ion that it would be better en irced-if all our policemen were to 0 to sleep aild sleep the sleep of oath-it would lie, then, far better ll forced than the law against carry? lg concealed weapons is now. Now if we must not have a prohi ition law because some lawless per ms would violate it, by the same )gic we ought to repeal tho laws gainst murder and against pistol arrying because they aro violated 1 most every day in the year by any ody that chooses to do it. Will tho uti-Prohibitionists advocate the re ca? ol' those laws? They dare not nd yet that is ibo logic of their osition. if you oughtn't to put a IW Oil tho statute book because it minot be ideally enforced, then yon tight to lake 01? tho statute book ll laws that are not likewise Oil arced. They advocate the roten iou of tho law which has broken down in its boasted moral ninia, winch is violated ovory day in thc year by anybody that sees lit to do it and which, in addition to that, is vicious in moral principle, but they oppose prohibition, forsooth, because somebody would violate it, although thoy must admit that it is correct in moral principle. It has boon openly charged that tho preachers and tho barkeepers are in an alliance, led by Col. Hoyt, to de feat tho dispensary. That charge is too absurdly falso to receive a mo ment's credence from any human being who has the slightest lingering regard for truth left in lum. United States Senator Tillman, who made that charge, knew it to be false when he uttered it. Thc charge cannot be interpreted as anything else but a mean and contemptible effort lo break tho force of the almost unani mous advocacy of prohibition by tho preachers, and served its author as a good occasion also to throw contempt upon a class of men for which lie has in many other ways expressed his contempt. It may be true that some of too liquor men are lighting the dispensary. I shall not undertake to state what their reasons are. I am not tho keeper of their con sionoos and I am not in an alliance with thom, But I will tell you this much is clear: The Slate has pro hibited their selling liquor as in dividuals on thc ground that the business is wrong and detrimental to the public welfare, and then the State turns around and goes into the business itself, and thereby declares that the bus)noss is right and con ducive to thi public welfare. The State forbidt "hem to engage in thc business and then the State is edu cating them and all ils citizens in the idea thal liquor selling as a beverage is justifiable on economic and moral grounds. The Slate, in ?ls blundering attempt to correct and restrain a bad business, is teaching its citizens that there are good and BU Aldon I reasons to engage in it. It is very certain that a man should infer that when a State forbids him to engage in a business because il is wrong and hurtful and then turns about and engages in that business itself, that is an act of tyranny by the State, and also an act of dishon esty by tho Slate towards its citi zens. And isn'l the State by that very act leaching its citrons to diso bey its own law ? All laws have an immense educa tional influence. The dispensary system is radically wrong in its educational tendency. It inculcates a radically wrong idea, One of tho happy features of the prohibition system is tho educational inllucnco >f the law. It educates the con science and thought of the people do::g right lines, lt leaches that [he liquor business is wrong ; wrong in principie and hurtful in its effects, ?ind that it cannot he justified on moral or economic grounds. So fai ns laws are educative in their effect upon the minds of men, a prohibi tion law lifts them tip in their moral ideals and so becomes a great civil zing and moralizing inlluonco among nen. The dispensary is the very >pposite and that is one of my chiof marges against it. It was to be loped that tho dispensary system VOllId bring home to the consciences if the people the sense of their di rect and immediate responsibility for lie liquor trafilo and ai! its al? .ondailt evils, n responsibility ,vhich exists under any system >f liquor selling which has the np ?roval and consent of tho law. And t was hoped that the dispensary sys ,Otn would bring so squarely home ,0 the conscience of the people their lirect moral responsibility ir the msiness that it would become inlol irablo to them and they would be 'orccd by the protests of their own letter natures to get out of the busi ?ess. Hut if tho dispensary is to be ised as an agency to teach the pen ile that the liquor trafilo is justilia ile, is in fact so justifiable and good hat. they themselves, as component Sick headache Food doesn't di gest well, appetite poor, bowels con stipated, toilette coated, li's your liver I Aycr's Pills are liver pills, ensy and safe.

That ?K just oxuotly tho uso to whioh it is hoing turned to-'lay. Tho li cense system eon fuses the conscience of tho people ; it lieguiloH thom with the plea that they are really taxing an evil business, ami thus many of thom fail to ronli/.O their responsi bility, or think they have diecharged it in taxing a bad business. The dispensary brushes away all that illu sion. Il makes the responsibility direct and unquestionable and it is bound in ihe nature of things to have ono of two effects upon tho people, either the dispensary, by bringing borne lo thc; OOllSoioilOOB of the people their responsibility, will arouse their eonsienee ?is if it wore touched willi a bot iron and drive thom out of the business and drivo the Slate out of the business and lead inevitably to prohibition, or it is hound lo deaden the consciences of the pooplo until they acquiesce tamely in the fact that Ihey tire all liquor dealers and justify the .business to themselves and fall into a dreadful moral decadence. And the tendency is in til nt direction. Why, friends, il ought to burn every man's faee, it ought to burn every man's heart, it ought to slick a knife into every man's self-respect, the idea that you and I to-night are liquor deniers! That's what we are. And a man that will lamely sit down under that and acquiesce in it and say it is all right, that ho likes the business and il is a very good business and il brings a very good profit, it saves him taxes and ho is satisfied with it and will slay in tho business; the man that does timi has passed through the very same process of moral .decadence th nt thc barkeeper does when he first embarks in the deadly trade. A prohibition law in this State saying to its citizens and teaching thom that the trafilo in intoxicating beverages is wrong! It is the voico of the great State saying to its young men that the business is bnd and dishonorable and hurtful lo your fellow man and you eannot afford to go ?nib il. It is the State, the great Stale, pointing the thoughts of its children upward and directing their minds toward Luger and juster and moro binn ano conceptions of their moral relations to their fellow men. The average lifo of a people cannot go higher than ils laws and we will never lil l the average life of our State above tho moral degradation of tho liquor business and olean our hands of it until wo rise up in our might and in our sense of responsibility to Almighty (?od and to our fellow men, ami particularly to our children, and say : We will have none of it! We will liol lie in the business ! We will say lo them it is wrong, il is wrong. Vos, if tho evil mon in our com m uni-., ties are so numerous and so powerful thnt they shall tie out- hands so that we cnn ll Ol enforce it, at any rate we will do this: we will write it down in tile slat uti' books that our boys as (bey grew up may read it lhere, that il is the very deliberate judgment of Clio intelligence and tito conscience of lin; people of South Carolina that thc liquor business is wrong and cannot bo justified economically or morally or any otherwise, and thal much at any rate will 1)0 gained. I don't want my boy to grow up to bo taught by tho State that tho liquor business is a good and honora ble and justifiable thing. And that is what tho Stale is now saying to every boy thal is growing up among us. Tillman's Letter and Wilson's Reply.
