Kill out the lien law and then the provident cotton growers will be forced to grow their own food crops, hus incidentally forcing diversified arming, to the great benefit to land and- man. Killing out the lien law would reduce the amount of mort gaged cotton grown by British money ,,that--enables the thriftless class of cotton growers to set prices and the spinners to get enough cheap cotton to keep going while the New York Cotton exchange worries some of the etter class of growers into selling heir cotton for less than cost.

To the Editor of The News and Courier: The speech made by Mri TillmAi i': the Senate on Monday last is entitfed to .rank among the great speeches which have been madg in that chamber' and yet the superseni. tiveness of Mr. Carmack of Tennes see, who is still "raw" from his de feat by "Bob'" Taylor, caused a mere incident of the speech-a bit of de lightful pleasantry in nowise touch ing or affecting the main thing in hand-to be'seized upon, and, in the press reports given to the country, magnified, to the obscuration of the speech itself. I heard the speech-every Ivord of it-and I no longer hesitate to say that Mr. Tillman is the strongest pub-. lie speaker it has ever been my for lune to hear. Multitudes in the city from all parts of the country- press to hear .him,.when it is known that ho is to speak, and, getting within ear shot, they remain to the end, held to the last word with rapt attention. In this quality of dr4wing and holding an audience, no man in the Senate chamber, either now or for the last twenty-five years-I speak of what I know-has been the equal of Mr. Tillman. Barring the pleasant satire with which lie began his remarks on Mon day last, Mr. Tillman used not a word of levity in the whole of his speech, and yet, for nearly two hours, during all the time lie was speaking, there was not the slightest break of attention in hii hearers, every gal lery, the diplomatic included, crowd ed to its utmost capacity, the usual rule departed from, men and women, where there was standing rooin, wed ged 'together as close as sardines in a box. Time and time again the fall of a pin could have been heard in any J)art of the chamber, on floor or gallery, so death-like was the still ness as the senator, with a pathos seldom equalled, told of the negro of forty years ago, between whom and the white folks there was the kind liest, of feeling, and contra'sted with him the negro into whom has entered the virus of equality with the white man engendered of false teaching, and the fanatical legislation of the Reconstruction era-a negro between whom and the white race there is growing enmity. It does not do to say Mr. Tillman is proposing no remedy. He is speak ing the wisdom-of the ages and show ing the profoundest knowledge of hu man nature when lie declares that legislators are not able to change racial instincts or make the African to share equality with the Caucasian. And lie is not an Anarchist when, in this connection, lie decries the efforts of those wvho prate of the law as a fetichi, erecting it into a deity to be worshiped regardless of justice. Nor is lie mistaken when lie says there are circumstances under which our imnpulse's cause us to revert to the original type of our savage ancestry, -eiviilization being but a veneer or outer ecating that peels off at such a time. Ini the strongeist possible manner he is making clear the diagnosis of the ease. The disease and its cause laid bare, lie is appealing to the American popleI for a remedy. What more af feeting than hi's plea in this regard, uttered in behalf of the whole south; his imager'y taken from the wvords of thme great Apostle to the Gentiles: '"Oh! who wvill deliver me from the body of. this~ death,'' the dead carcass of slavery having been chained to the south hy the 14th and 15th amendments. A remedy will be found when the.natrue of the illness and its cau.,es are properly understood by the country at large. Mr. Tillman is only giving expression to a truth apparent in all history when he says: "If the majority of the white people throughout the country make up their minds that the negroes are not their equals, they will sooner or later put it in the law that they shall not have a part of the inheritance of the white meec.'" He is pointing out, and expos ing by their fruits, the political' here-. sies which implant false- notions and deelusive hopes in the people of an inferior race-notions and hopes which disqualify them from living in peace and harmony with a race that will not share its primacy with any other. It is vain to' decry the power Mr. Tillman is capable of ting in the ex.. pression of his thoughts. His langauge is a mnarvelous purity and strength. I have been charmed with the brilliatnt pageantry of Macaulay; I have read the burning words of Burke; I have ~tened -to that- marvellous word monger, the late James -3.
