7*o the Democrat* of South Carolina :
We nnk you to onnsider without prejudice
whit we iiy to you, nnd to let your judg*
neot be governed by in intelligent regard
for your own interests ind directed by your
love nod respect for the 8tn? ??? ~rr
r??We
ire not Iryiog to stir your passions by
general aocusitioos which wi cannot prove,
or to excite vain hopes by extravagant promises
impossible to fulfil. We do not wish to
undo any good that has been tcconaplibhed
or to reverie any policy which the minority
of our fellow democrats favor.
We isk you to join us iu an honest, united,
* determined effort to remove the dangers confronting
our people, the evils under which
tl ey suffer. We must restore pence nnd
good feei ng among ourselves, that we may i
Mnr.il und work together and give thst ,
mutual help and cordial co-operation necei ?v
far Ilia woll-l>pinc of nnv rointminilv.
We can do nothing while we are divided into
hostile faetionn ami neighbors nro s? unrated
by political distrust and discord.
We submit that the course of the present
State administration tends inevitably to continued
irritation, division and danger. In
|lie campaign of IH'.H) the public was deceived
with promises of reforms which have not
been kept ; all of those who expressed their
distrust of these promises were then violently
denounced. Kveu such of these ns, despite
the bitterncse with which they were
a-sailed, accepted and supported the will of
the minority of their follow democrats, have
been treated ns enemies, and the presont in
dicitions are that tliia proscription is to be
continued and extcudad. lteccnt public
declarations by those high in nuthonty assure
i s that those who were from the first friends
and followers of the liend of our State administration,
but who went with him only
a i far as their const ieuoes would allow, aud
then resisted or opposed his purpose, are
likewise to he put under bnn. Kcprcsentn
lives of the people liavo been slandered, reproached
and dorided as "drift wo id," bccanso
tbey could not in all things think and
net with the governor, and dared to vote according
to their judgements. We are openly
informed tiiat s'rong efforts will be made
it m", uveal the coming clecltou lilt choice ol
i? legislature more obedient to the gover
iior's demand*, more pliable in yielding to
IiIm will tlinn the last.
A circuit judge has been rebuked in un
ollicinl message because hia decision on (lie
bench did not necord with the wiahes mid
opinion!* of the executive. Tho legislature
clreM tho jiulicittry. Control of the one
nunns thecontiol of both nnd the ceniializitiion
of all the powers of making, expounding
nnd executing t lie laws I powers given by the
v nstitution lor the mifety of tho people to
the heaping of three distinct branches) into
the hands of one man.
Tho present management of our party,
apparently in full sympathy with the pur
poses and demands of the governor mid with
hi* liolp, hut incorporated into the inlet ol
the party new devices for porpctuatiug the
pawer now held and making it more <i illicit It
lor the majority of tho democratic voters to
withstand the power of the machine controlled
l-y a tninoi ity.
The tendency of all these acts and medio Is
is toward further and deeper divisions ami
continued Mr.fc among u'. The signs of tinl
iocs warn us tlmt unions there is a change
we may have to cliooro between slavish submission
to a dangerous mid deginding dispotisni
or u bitter, desperate ruinous s roggb
among ourselves.
To avoid these dangers, to restore pein e
nn ! harmony to our party nod people, we
tii I on all democrats who wish to secure u
conservative, safe, efficient Stale government,
representing ft soli?i democracy Ht home nu t
commanding the good will uud confidence of
tlie woihi at large, to give us tlio active help
of their intluencc and votes.
We pledge ourselves and those who think
lo make Mils fight for good government, the
f eedom of legislation, the independence id
the judiciary and the liberty of the people
w.thin | he party lines; ton to ninke it cut lies
ly, courageously and persistently ia every

1 n a .other column ? publish a forcible
but calm and conservative address to tbe
I'euitcrata of South Can/inn, calling open
all driiiocrHts who are d satisfied with tbe
priseut administration to ho'd m eiing* in
escli count/ and elect del gates to a convention,
to be held in Columbia on
inursda,/ (2lib) in March, "to Daine
ticket to be presented to the Democratic
volers, and I bo State Deinocrutio convention
cn'led to nominate a State ticket for tbe
Democratic psrt/."
We rcalJ/ cannot see where n tlie Tillman
advocates can object to the object of the
address. Tbe gentlemen signing it( tnrm
honorable men, trie?i, true and trusted
citizens of the State; the/ recognize tbe
lr></ Executive cotnm ttcc as tbe State
Executive committee of tlie Democratic
part/, and, us n mutter of course, will
recognize tlie Democratic convention called
by it, as tlie convention to which tlie/
will submit a Slate lickct, ntt-1 "pledge themselves
and those who net with them to ab'.de
faithfully the decision of that convention."
In other words, according to our understanding
of the ud Ires*, it is intended to call a
c invention of iiuli-Tilliuniiitcs to make op
an aiiti-Tilluiau Slate ticket, to he submitted
to a '! iiiuian convention for it* adoption or
rejeo'.ion, pie Igiug Hiemsclves and followers
to at : >e hy the decision of that convention,
fil ler that Hrrangitiiient there cannot possibly
he hi ro than one State ticket in the
fo ld. 1 hat in succinctly our construction ol
the object of the add rem. It is true it
Hays "a State ticket io he submitted to the
democratic votere" hut does not say whether
or when the voters thai! vole upon it.
We admire the conservative spi* it of the
address, and fully endorse its truthful
arraignment of the present Sta e administration,
hut as ill it a (ministration has control
of the party machinery, with the prestige ol
high official influence to mould the State
foilvenlion and secure a ticket to suit itsell,
w< can'i see where the remedy for our
grievances can come in, if the Tillman convention
is to he the arbiter.
While we do not always endorse the
Si \tr's inn to of lilluck on Tillman's administration,
wo have seen no proposition that
would so surely uud fairly make the test
between the I'illtiiati and anli-Tillmuti wings
ot the party as the following, which hns been
made by Tn k St vir :
Let each faction nominate, its ticket. Let
there lie a direct primary for State o Hi cere,
as vTvll us nil nt lives. l.vt each faction have
cjunl reprcsvt?iaib>n on the linunln'ol' fnttnH1"
ger.s of the primary election. Let nil Democrats
he allowed to vote according to the
rules in force in this State for fourteen years,
inking only the oath exnete I during that
| lime? ill it the voter is a l?coiocrat, nnd haunt
voted hel'oio iu such election. Let each
faction pledge its?lf that?these conditions
faithfully oh-erved, a lair election held ami
noiicst returns mudiV-it will abide the
risiilt, and make no I ion a' the general
elect .on.
tjov. *1 ill limn has openly hoistel that lie
could "leal any mini in the r?ale lor Governor."
If he meant, in a tuv election,
solely neiilnr he nor his friends Cin olijeet
o testing his strength hy a fair pt'i-.ary
vole of hi- lel ow democrats. There is son..
thing ?i|ii.uo and unci|iiivocal in that propusit
ion. There's too muck "we will, if you
will" id.oiit the address, deciding the
.strength of neither paity. The only goo a

Mb. Kuitob : In orJer ?o pro**, if prool
be necessary. (Imi our finBnci?l systrm is
inherently false mm'J wrong mii>I cannot be
justified on any principle of justice or eqtrty,
I tike the liberty of quoting from a few euiin*n<
me p?s|, as well as the
resent, giving tb< ir views on the subject.
Thomas Jefferson said ' the power t?
issue uioney should be taken fr>m the
banks and re?torcd to the people ami to
Congress, to w Is<ch it rightfully belong*."
John C. Calhoun hehl that ' the pe -pie
should not be required to pay interest oo
government cr?1 t, wh'Ie said credit could
lie extended to thctn without interest."
Mr. lilainc says -'one defective element in
ho national b.iuk system is thai it requires
lie pe: inatieuce of national debt as the b??is
of cxistauce."
Secretary Wimlom, in his last utterances
upon the subject, raid that "financial disss
irri (J fill H|v\u^i5 IWUJO mill uuuonsi uvu? >tj
i'i business Mini hat caused an abnormal
icmin J fur money, as m autumn, fur rao?ing
our iuunedsc crops TUcre will always
oc. ssid he, great danger nt lli >?e time*
under any east iron system of currency, such
as we now have."
Aguio, 1 would refer the readers to ihe
strong arid p intcd lauguugeof the .Monetary
commission appointed by Congress in INTO,
which is fully maintained by the experience
and all the financial history of the past.
Cage lOofthe rep.rt reads: '-An increasing
value of money and falling prices have
oven, and me now more fruitful of human
misery thau war [csliieuce or famine,"
On page 2n, of the roport. we fin 1 the
following indisputable language : "A shrinking
volume of money and filling pr ces
iways have, and always must have a ten
icncy In concentrate wealth, to enrich the
few and inipoveiish * -* ? 'C i . ...
tlency is subtile and pollutions through the
world lo-day."
And lis', hut not least, we quote ihc proplietic
language of Abraham Lincoln: "The
moury power of the couutry wi I endeavor
to prolong its regit by workiog upon the
prejudices ot the people until all wealth is
aggregated hi a few hands, and the republic
s destroyed." Had I lie pen of Lincdn been
guided by inspirition, he could not have
itiercd a more s deinii truth.
It is fearful to look back, even upon the
last decade, and behold how rapidly Ins
prophecy i ? being fulfilled. I am no prophet,
out I verily believe if s nnething is not done
11 check and hurl from power the mighty
ntonicd oligarchy which threatens to
destroy our liberties, tins republic will not
live to see the close ot the present century.
Hut, says one, why do you lake such a
souther view of our condition ? I reply,
listory repeats itself. Tnc late of Greece,
Home, an I other nations of the past is
fresh in tne mind of the slit lent of history.
Our ship of Stale is being ulcere 1 toward the
-ante breakers upon which those nations
were v.coked.
Where nrc we to look for re'ief? To Congress?to

These demands and others of similar

have male good use of it in tho way *
of sowing oats, breaking stubtde ami pre- u

I sea the prospect is now thai cotton won't '
nriug more tha i five cents next Fall. I
tearu that the merchants have extended tho 1
iinc of their creditors fro'.u ihe first of Marco '
io ihe first of April. If that he so, then 1
will he a great dcil more corn planted,
there has been only a fov louls of connuer- j
