It is a notable f&ct that the leading demands made ly the Farmers’ Alli ance would, if granted, work especial injury to the agricultural interests of the country. Especially is this true of the bill now »efore the United State Senate known as the Hatch Bill, which seeks to prohibit the sale foi future delivery of cotton, wheat corn, pork, lard aid other agricultu- al products. The measure is uncon stitutional, un-Dfmocratic and a sham. But the atgumeut which should ad dress itself to the fertner advocates o ’ this measure is thit the bill, if it be comes a law, will iiflict especial Inju ry upon the very class of people who are demanding its passage. The fact that Senator Washnurn and his part ner, PillsiJtfryvNfliVgreat flour kings of the Northwestj are pushing the measure ought alote to suggest to the farmers that they ire being deceived. Why do these mei want the bill to become a law ? Isit to raise the price of the wheat thej have to buy and grind into flour? ’Well, hardly! To anyone who is not mentally blind it is apparent that the real object and the only object of tiese men is to res trict the market of he wheat produ cer, and force him o part with his products, at such p*ices as they see fit to offer Close thj exchanges and the demand for grail will be confined to the men who con'ert the grain in to edible products. lurtail the mar ket and you;decreasethe demand and necessarily lower the price. Nine out of ten f;rmers are com pelled to sell their 3rop as soon as they are harvested. Through the op eration of the exchalges of the coun try the prices for the r products is dis tributed by the system of “futures” over the whole year. Abolish this system aud the nire-tenths of the crop will necessarii/ be dumped on the market at or aboit the same time. The demand will be normal, but the supply will be abno mally great. It will be overwhelming and the flour kings will pick up thdr wheat at fifty cents a bushel or less. The fact that after the crops have jassed out of the hands of the produreis into the hands of the capitalists tje price may Im prove, is poor conHation to the far mer. What is true true of cottoh of the product pelled to sell it i.’ it harvested, future delivery the crop on the October and Now will necessarily t is equally larff© majority, cotton are com- m*,as they can get to the system of !orce the bulk of ioSJt in September, : £5ir, and the price nHuced far below Campaign Incident. At Florence on the 1st Gov. Tillman referred to the charges that the Con servative candidates have been bring- against him and asserted that they were but the old charges of Earle re vived. But, said he, Earle was more honorable, more truthful and more trust worthy than these men who now oppose me. Col. Youman’s arose quickly, and pointing his finger at the Governor, inquired: Governor Tillman, do you mean to say that Col. Earle is more honorable than I am? Governor Tillman savagely and without turning his head: Yes, sir. Col. Youmans: Do you mean that? I will see you about it. Everybody arose to their feet, and the greatest excitement prevailed. Governor Tillman proceeded to ex plain that the campaign meetings were not conducted on so high and honorable a plane. Col. Youmans: Do you mean to qualify what you said. Governor Tillman, fiercely: Not a damned bit, sir. Col. Youmans, very coolly: Very well; I will see about it. Governor Tillman, after a pause: I will apolo gize to the audience for using an ex pression which well expressed my meaning. The Rev. S. M. Richardson ad vanced toward the Governor and, pausing, said: Governor Tillman, do you believe in a God? Governor Tillman: Ido and trust in Him. Mr. Richardson: Then you should apologize for your expression. Governor Tillman: I have already apologized. Mr. Richardson: I wish to rebuke before this audience any such lan guage. It shall not go unrebuked. Referring to the published statement of a Darlington young man who was at Tillman’s house and heard him say that he (Tillman) would see Trial Justice Sanders and the people of Darlington in hell before he would appoint another anti to office, Gov. Tillman said that if the people were so venomous in their opposition to him as to boycott his friends, as had been done in one instance in Darling ton, he was going to boycott the men that they sent for office.

Later in the year, after the raw material has passed into the hands of spinners and specu- tors, the price in. all probability will advance. It is almost incredible that anyone should fail tc.understand so simple a proposition The demand for the raw material comes from the manufacturers alone. The public does not come into the market at all until after the cotton lias been con verted into yarn and cloth. Take away the exchanges and prohibit the trading in cotton tor future delivery and the spinners vill purchase their raw material without competition. The artificial denand created by speculation, addet to the actual de mand of the manifacturers, tends to keep up prices durng the whole year. Remove the artifical demand and the producers will he absolutely at the mercy of the manifacturers. And yet, strangeto say, the produ cers are demandin' this change. So blind has the fanatcism on this ques tion become that nany conservative, thoughtful Demoo-ats in Congress, who appreciate tin danger to the far mers themselves, io say nothing of the widespread disster to business in terests, which the enactment of this measure will bring about, have been swept along with toe current, aud to save their politica necks have given their support against their sober judgment. Perlups the only thing which will preveit the Democratic party from makiig thisjfatal mistake is the fact that th; Republican Senate will probably hestate before placing President Harrisn in the awkward position of hayin' either to approve or veto this measure upon the eve of the national electon. If he approves the measure lie will array against him tlie businestand banking inter ests of the counry and w’ould have no hope whatevr of carry the pivot al State of New York. If he vetoes it he would antigonize the deluded Grangers ot the West and South. Under these cirumstances it is not unlikely that thebill will be pigeon holed. By the tine Congress meets again in December a sober second thought may cone to the advocates of this measure andthey may then bless their stars that they did not have their way. The Senate ha passed the Stewart free silver bill, lut that will be the end of it. The uajoiily which free silver once had ii that body has al most melted aw:y, and the House is against it. The jassage of the bill by the Senate, with the knowledge that it will be pigeoi-holed or killed in the House, is a mere device to make Senators “solid at home.” another Democrat was to vote for the latter. in »ot be am) if the field, The Campaign Meeting In Columbia. At the Columbia meeting on the 4th inst., Col. Orr was present, and stated that he was for private reasons com pelled to remain away from the re cent campaign meetings. The illness of one of his children had caused him to do so, and not the fear of Ben Tillman or any oth er man.. You will never see me run under fire like Ben Tillman. But I will seek a better op portunity when I go to decamp. He said not only those who opposed Tillman, but many who supported him two years ago, are now wide awake to the fact that Tillman does not care anything about the welfare of South Carolina, but ir seeking his own personal political advancement. From the mountain to the seaboard I am glad to say that the wave is rol ling, and I honestly believe that when the 30th of August arrives Tillman will be whipped and two years fiom now you will scarcely find a man who thinks of him. A voice: What about the Third Party? Col. Orr: I can’t tell you anything about it. Go to Governor Tillman and his crowd and they may tell you. The Third Party is dead until August 30. If Tillman is then elected there will be no Third Party, but if he is defeated a Third Party is probable. A great majority of the people of Augusta and Richmond County, Ga., on Friday last declared by their bal lots that they are opposed to sumptu ary laws, and voted down Prohibition and killed the issue. The election was conducted in an orderly way, and not a single fight or fuss occurred during the day. Every body on both sides was sober and or derly, and the only intoxicated man seen on the ground was the city ed itor of the Dally Prohibitionist. There was great interest taken in the election, but with all the excite ment there was no particular sensa tion during the entire time of voting. Early in the morning the Prohibi tionists polled a heavy vote in the white box, but they exhausted their strength after 10 o’clock. The Antis polled a strong and steady vote all day long. The ladies of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union were at the polls all day long conducting a song and praise service and dispens ing lunch and temperance drinks to the cold water party. They also had children marching through the Court House yard parading banners with appealing legends. The Rev. W. W. Wadsworth, who precipitated this issue and led the people on t© the fight, was not seen about the polls after 10 o’clock in the morning, and his daily Prohibition paper did not appear in the afternoon. Out of 4,238 votes registered, 3,520 were polled. The Prohibitionists only cast 1,094 votes. The Antis polled 2,426 and have a majority of 1,332. The Prohibitionists were beaten in every district except one. The North American Review. The July number of The Review marks the beginning of the seventy- eighth year of its existence. It opens (withx symposium. “What .Shall the Ratio Be?” refer ring, of course, to the proposed international monetary conference. The contributors are Senator Stewart, of Nevada; Repre sentative Wm. M. Springer, of Illi nois; Senator Hansbrough, of North Dakota; Representative Bland, of Missouri, and Representative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania. A striking article is contributed by Frederick Douglass, ex-Minister to Hayti, upon the sub ject of “Lynch Law in the South.” Douglass nas recently made a tour of the Southern States, and his article is a characteristic contribution to the falsehoods against the South. “Poli tics and the Pulpit” is discussed by Bishop Mallalieu, of the Methodist Church, and the Right Rev. Bishop, Doaue, of the Episcopal Church. The article by Lady Jeuue ou “Lon don Society” in the May number at tracted wide attention both here aud abroad, and the subject is further dis cussed in the present number by Mr. W. H. Mallock. Starting off to a summer resort, or for a week’s fishing, or upon a tramp with a gun, or to visit your relations in the country, there is one compan ion that you w’ill not regret taking with you—a copy of the July Cosmo politan.

WcPf *» WINE OF CARDUI for female diseases. A glance at the table of contents of the July New England Magazine will convince anyone at all doubtful of the fact that this is a national and not a merely local magazine. The number opens with an interesting pa per on “The Heart of Chicago,” by Franklin H. Head. The frontispiece of the number is a scene among the Chicago wharves, and is drawn by Charles H. Woodbury. Don Cayetano Romero contributes a valuable article on “The Republic of Mexico,” the second in the South American series to run through the summer mouths. In addition there are many other in teresting articles by noted authors, all handsomely illustrated. Published by the New England Magazine Co., 86 Federal St., Boston, Mass.

Good Housekeeping for July opens the fifteenth volume of lhat admira- Jble journal, and its table of contents will be found as interesting and as varied as ever.

WBLACK-ORAUGHT tea cures Constipation, A Hail Million Distributed. The people of this State, principal ly in Beaufort County, have about gotten the half a million dollars ap propriated by the United States Gov ernment as a refund for the lands con fiscated and sold under the direct tax act for taxes in years gone by. Attorney W. S. Monteith of Colum bia, who has been with many other attorneys of the State engineering the claims of those entitled to money through the Federal Court of Claims, says that up to date claims for about $440,000 have been filed with the Court and are now being paid out to the claimants. This money is entirely separate from that now being paid out by the Governor. The latter is to reimburse those who paid direct taxes and did not lose their lands. Chicago Beauty. From The State. When Congressman Elliott, who has an epicurean eye, had critically surveyed the examples of beauty which Chicago furnished on its great thoroughfares during the convention, he passed judgment as follows: “I am not at all surprised that so many Chicago women get divorced, but what puzzles me is how they ever got married.” I am free to say that I concurred in this opinion. The con vention seemed to have brought out all the frights in the towm on dress parade. The July Eclectic offers its readers an attractive table of contents. The opening paper from Blackwood’s en titled: “Civilization, Social Order and Morality in America,” is savage ly aggressive and critical, and well calculated to stir up thin-skinned Americans. Mckenrick’s article on “Human Electricity,” discusses a curious fact, familiar to all of us, in a popular but scientific way. An in teresting paper on “Europe aud Afri ca,” by William Greswell, discusses the responsibilities of Civilization on the Dark Continent. The article by Rev. Dr. Jessopp, “A Fourteentli Century Parson,” picturesquely des cribes the society of five centuries ago. Two striking short stories, short articles and poems, complete a varied and iuteiesting number. Published by E. R. Pelton, 144 Eighth Street, New York.

WWINE OF CARDUI. a Tonic for Women. Intelligent people recognize the fact that it was B. R. Tillman and not the anti-Tillman newspapers who slandered the Alliancemen of the State. It is a fixed and immutable law that to have good, sound health one must have pure, rich and abundant blood. There is no shorter nor surer route than by a course of Dewitt’s Sarsaparilla. W. J.

The Review of Reviews for July is promptly at hand, aud as usual, is one of the most interesting magazines that come to our table. The July number contains many exce 1 lent por traits, and illustrations, and some most interesting articles upon the topics of the day. “Russia’s Conflict with Hunger,” by W. C. Edgar gives a graphic account of the sufferings of the Russians in the famine district, and the measures that have been ta ken for relief. A sketch of President Benj Harrison by Gen. T. J. Mor gan gives timely reading. In addi- dition there are the usual excellent reviews of the current events of the world, which are of general interest. This excellent magazine is published monthly at 13 Astor Place, New, York, for only $2.50 a year. It is a truth in medicine that the smallest dose that performs the cure is the best.
