John Bratton ex plains his posiliou in reference to tiie Farmers’ movement. He says: I desire to be distinctly understood as claiming for the ndvoedtes of the Tanners movement the honesty of pur pose and good faith that I claim for my self, aud indeed have ever claimed for the sturdy farmers of the land in pub lic matters. The expression "to the manor born,” with all the devoted fidelity to country that it carries with it, has ever been associated in my mind especially with die owners and tillers of the soil. Their interests are as fixed as the soil itself. They can not be stored in safes, of boxed and sent off'to foreign vaults ii; the time of trouble. They must abide the fate of their country, whether it be devas tated by an invading foe, or rent aud torn by internal dissensions and class conflicts, or calmly rests under the peaceful reign of law based on mutual concessions. If they are not true in their hearts to the host interests of the state, where are we to look for fidelity? With no doubt as to their motives I hoped aud expected that the Conven tion would be an effe^tivq ageqcy of agitation, and by its ooQsiqerR'tion and discussion of the agricultural situa tion reach some intelligent conclusion as to.the cause of the depression, or, at least, throw some light on the sub ject aud to that extent allay the un rest and discontent which seem to pre vail. It was with feelings of disap pointment and regret that I found myself unable to concur in the action of the convention or in the assump tions on which it seems to have been predicated. I say seems, because in the published proceedings the grounds bu winch the action was based are not clearjy and definitely stated. There spemed to be a vague, indefinite idea that the body politic was afflic ted with leprosy and honeycombed with rottenness, and that amid this rubbish of leprosy and rottenness, concealed sqmewhere, ;s a masked enemy to the agricultural interests of the State. I cannot concur in these assumptions. I cannot concur in the idea that is floated on the air, not fix ed and located, that injustice has been done to, or justice been withheld from, the farmers of the State by auy other class in the State, or that the agricul tural depression prevailing is in any way, shape or form attributable to the conduct of our State Government. The administration of our Govern ment since ’76 has never been excelled in purity or in fidelity to constitu tional obligations, and it will con tinue to bo an honor and blessing to the people of the State as long as it is controlled by a polictical organiza tion which combines in harmonious union the couversatism, the intelli gonce and the character of all classes of our people, whether the offices are filled by farmers or not. If there is an individual, or a class, organized, or disorganized, in tin limits of the State in hostile attitude to thb agricultural interests of the State I will venture to say thgt he or they are so closely masked as to defy the skill of the best scouts of tho farmers’ army to locate them. To my mind it is all baseless assumption—putting un an imaginary enemy' in order to get up a fight. But grant the correctness of these assumptions—do the measurer* pro posed reach ^qd cure tho evils? Do they tend to generate or call into ser vice a healthy, sound, elevated, lib eral and enlightened public senti ment? This isthe'only reliance—the »mgie and sole agency by which rot- lenuess in a Government like ourt. can be reached and eradicated. To meet thp assumed condition (Which, by the way, has strayed entirely awa\ from the incipient object of tho Con vention, namely, agricultural depres s on and its cause) the farmers an called upon to organize as a class, to enforce class legislation—to captim the Legislature to take what legisla tion they want. They are to cull u convention of the people, and re-efr- ganize the Government to suit their views. In the meantime, such insti tutions as tlip assembled wisdom of all classes qf thA State havp been able, with patient and earnest labor iu ad justing complications and surmount ing difficulties, to build on the ashes of our ruins, are to be felled at one blow as State institutions, and with out regard to cost, converted info class establishments. If the farmers organize for such a fight they will in augurate class conflict, iu which the actions of men are governed, not b\ moderation and wisdom and calm consideration for the common weal, hut by passion aud prejudice. Will this, I submit to the orgauizers, call into Action that sound, healthy public sentiment that you need to cure rot tenness ip the Governnfent? ‘ It seems that one of the purposes ol the movement is to take by legisla tion for the benefit of the farmers their just share of the public treasure. When the power is obtained by such rneans tq do that, who is to determine what the just share of the farmer class : s? Who is to measure the grab? Where is the authority for distributing the public treasure, justly or unjustly, among the classes of om people? When was it ever done in our country, except unjustly and in directly, as is proposed here, by class legislation, the great source to which some of us trace the depression of our industries ? I mean Federal class leg islation, however, not State. But push on a step further. We make this class fightand win. And what do we as farmers, or our agricultural interests, gain to remunerate qs for the wounds and scars with which a crippled and debased political sentiment emerges from the conflict? We will have lowerd our standard of education, especially that qf the farmer, by substituting, regardless ot expense, a set of special class schools for our State University system. By special class education we will secure the perpetuation of the class dis sensions and strife which we have in augurated. The State will* not be allowed to concentrate her educa tional strength, and, in her impover ished condition, exercise the high est and wisest economy in affording opportunities for the moral and intel lectual culture of her sons, and, break ing down class lines, train up all into one heartyjhealthy, strong family, mu tually dependent, mutually support ing and always struggling together for the welfare, honor and glory qf their common mother. How this Is to benefit tbe farmer as an individ ual, or the farmers as a class, or the agricultural interests of the State, it will be difficult to sh:>w. There is one assumption that I ne glected to mention, which is correct; and that is, that the farmers consti- tute.the majority of the dominant polit ical party of the State. This is a first- class groqud for not organizing as far mers forpolitical purposes, as iu that dAminant party only can they wield their political strength wiseforio?: the welfare of I he. State and for the bene fit of themselves. But the programme is an apiteal to them, not to <**s*rt that* strvugth ns. olltzens and .Demo crats hut to organize it mid wield it a< chuis power far class purposes. Tins bovver is to he wielded vvithiu the lineV- By W. i of ttie Democratic pariyv That fa qnaer he could judiciously fjfjtfa? There is no provision against it. Can we afford this sort of ttiiug in our con dition? Fearfully ham]icappedby tk® weight of a newly-fledged ana debas ed citizenship, is it npt suicidal to frit ter away our strength for such a pur- nose, when it is ail needed to uphold the thin veil of the law between us and licentious and debauched govern incut, and with it, if it ever conies again, the debasement of oqr stand ard ot free citizenship? From such a condition there can be no’restoration for us. , jF The situation here in South Caroli na devolves on us of the white race the highest duties of citizenship—re quires the maintenance of the highest standard of citizenship. While ora tors, writers and sentimental philan thropists theorize at a distance on the race question, it is our fate to be in the forefront iu the practical solu tion of the problem. The vital ques tion with us is—can we, under the load thrust upon us, maintain a heal thy liberal, enlightened public and political sentimc.it, or are we to suc cumb and be dragged down to its level? Bv taking care of ourselves in this piatter, we render the highest service and do our full duty to the State, and, indeed, by thus holding up io his view a nigh and worthy standard we render the only aid in our power to the “man and brother” working out hfa own destiny; for that lie must, under the laws of nature, do for himself. But the point is made for application to ourselves and our duty iu working out our own destiny. Is it not the part of wisdom, is it not a dictate of self-preseryation, to con centrate opr forces—our intellectual and moral force, our eaucational and pclitical force, our Anglo-Saxon race force—aud apply it to the accomplish ment of this purpose? How can we do it? The only agency iu our reach for effecting this combination is the Democratic party —the organization not of any clas3,but of’all classes—tlie organization of the people. It was framed for the purpose and used effectively to lift the political sentiment of the State from a condi tion of ruinous and disgusting degra dation to a healthy standard, and thereby restore its allegiance to the Constitution, the Government of the State. It is the only means at our command for maintaining the fidelity of Government to the expressed will of the people. It is the only instru mentality through which we can con centrate our strength for the supreme duty of the situat ion. So long as it will require of the officials of Government fidelity toconstitutionalobligations!!! the eonductof their officers, and main tain the rule of their Constitution, so long may we await iu calm security the development of the des tiny of tbe black race. The Democratic party, with all its faults and short-comings, is our sole reiance, our forlorn hope, in the con flict with the difficulties and dangers of this critical period in the life of the State. Can we afj >rd any movement that will cripple and Impair its effi ciency? But enough has been said to indi cate iny views on the.subject. I am forced to the conclusion that the move ment will operate iu the opposite di rection from that intended, and is a most unfortunate mistake. Its full est success would sacrifice the sub- ? tauee for the shadow, and, far rom benefiting the agricultural inter ests of the State, would be detrimental to all the interests of tho State and especially to the Agricultural. But the particular m sfortune of such a movement lies in the fact that success isnot necessary to enable it to do harm. The mere persistence in it will be like a fire in the rear and will distract and cripple our strength iu the great con flict in front. In my judgement tho action of the Couiveiiriou was ill-considered and in considerate, radical and unreasona ble, and utterly regardless of the dffi- culties and complicatiousof the situa tion here in South Carolina.

It is announced that the Beech Is land Fanners’ Club of Aiken County iias adopted the following resolution: Resolved^ That we will not support any candidate for the Legislature who will uot pledge himself to support the movement to give the ejection of the Board of Agriculture to farmers met in convention for that purpose.” The Legislature is supposed to be a deliberative body, aud its members are supposed to be selected partly at least on account of their ability to judge of the merit of the measures submitted for their adoption. It has also been generally uuderstqodtbat the debates to which they listen and in which they participate, sometimes have the effect of bringing outfacts and reasons which were unknown to some of them, and which ought to have some influence upon their judgement and their votes. But the members who get support from the above named club will be exceptions to this rule. Their judgement on the matter mentioiyid will count for nothing, for they will not be permitted to sxercise it. Argument will be wasted on them as much so as if they were entirely without minds. And if it shall be known to their colleagues that they were elected in consideration of a pledge to support this measure their advocacy of it would lose much of its force by reason of that /^et/.
