THE MANNING TMES. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1886. B. S. DINKINS, Editor. MR. TILLMAN AND THE FARMERS' CONVENTION. We saw with some degree of sur prise in the News and Courier of the 6th ult., where the meeting held in Manning on the 5th of April, in the interest of a Farmers' Convention, was represented to be enthusiastic for Tillman. Now we can see no reason whatever, for such a statement in reference to what took place on the occasion in question. To the contrary, one most pleasing of the whole transactions of the day was the noticeable fact, that his name was not mentioned at all, in any connection, unless the writer meant to denominate the movement under a comprehensive term and call it "Tillman." We would have it fairly and fully understood, once for all, that we have no war to wage against any organiza tion of the Farmers of the County and State-to the contrary, we stand rea dy to aid in every way an undertaking long neglected, and for which negli gence and want of concert of action, untold millions have passed from the "horny handed sons of toil" into the coffers of the better organized speca lators, as the price of their indiffer ence on the subject. Agriculture is the very fountain head of every indus try-the nother calling-the one vo cation, to which every other must look with the most abject dependence, and from which is drawn all the wealth and sustenance of the hordes living upon its bosom. That this enterprise should ask alms or aid of any other, and yield the sceptre where it should sway, shows a condition of things en tirely abnormal, and operating out of its true sphere. The farmers, then, should organize by all means; and no honest and thinking man would throw a pebble in the way of old Cincinnal us and his chariot wheels of conquest. We favor all this, but think and be lieve, that the entire enterprise is handicapped, in the very outset, by having such a champion as Mr. Till man to lead them to an end so desira ble. Personally, we know nothing of the gentleman, and judge him entirely by his writing and by his utterances in a speech made at the Court House in this place. No polar iceburg could be colder than that meeting was, and yet, he set down the entire State, from "mountain to seaboard," as efferves cent over his movement. In that speech Mr. Tillman exhausted his billingsgate against every other voca tion or calling, and denounced the greater part of existing affairs, and men as snares, delusions and robbers. Had he spoken in soberness and truth, as many who proposed to join hands with him spoke, there would not have been a dissenting voice, so to speak, in all the land, and every class would have bid the farmers, who are really the backbone of the country, a hearty God speed. But when Mr. Tillman. publicly brands every one except farmers, with such ugly names as he did in his Manning speech; when he so violently assails the existing state of things as afraud, and run in the interest of a few, who reap a golden harvest; when he would pull down and destroy, without pointing out a single actual ground of complaint, as, a fact, except in reference to the Arg iecultural Bureau-then we do 'not raise our voice against the farmers or their organization, but, solemn'ly warn them to be cautious how th'ey follow in the lead of such a man-a man whose purpose, as openliy avowed, is to tear down everything and build up on a basis furnished by him, a basis, as declared timneand again, that will have no regard to men; the only qual ifiction necessary being, as he has said, an adherance to the Revolution inaugurated. What new school of Politics is this, to foist upon us, when measures and not men are judged? Our contemporary, the News and Her aid, of Winnsboro, says Mr. Tillman disclaims any ambition to lead or hold office, but that he. has found so many things rotten in the State, he should be sent to the Legislature nolens colens and reguired to point out the alarm ing ills affecting the people, and a remedy. There having been some adverse criticism as to our position towards the farmers and their associations, we hope in the above that we have left no room for further doubt. LABOR STRIKES. As will be seen elsewhere in these 4oiunns, the labor strikers in the West .and South-west have continued to .gather force and violence, until com ing to an open rupture and force of arms between the police authorities, the railroad kings, and the strikers. The collision at St. Louis was in deed a terrible affair, and also the outbreak in Texas; the destruction of property and the loss of life was a horrible picture of the civilization of the 19th century. To the thinking anind, the question will very naturally arise: where is all this trouble to end? Instead of finding a level of adjust wnent, the breach is continually wid ening; and for dark and ominous threats of a short time ago, we have now, a bloody fruition and a harvest of destruction. It would seem the part of wisdom, for the railroads and other monopolies to exercise a little caution and meet the demands by some concessions, be fore the time be passed, when they might do so with safety to their-prop erty. Unfortunately the railroad com panies are open to attack on all sides. Bridges, depots, work-shops, cars and hundreds of miles of rode. How easy toi wreck trains! How easy to apply the torch, and ere they are aware mil lions of property will be destroyed. And where is the redress? Thoujsan~ds of men out of business, and feeling the pinch of want at home, are not to be treated as a subject for a jest. Practically they are outlaw.s and be yond the reach of arrest. More than this, the Government of any State cannot keep a standing army, to op pose a body of desperadoes, who will I vanish like the wind before their ap- ] proach, and no sooner than gone, come from their hiding places, much more bent on mischief than before. Con gress has very mercifully undertaken a plan, upon which, both contestants in their troubles may have a hearing; and it is to be hoped, that something may come out of it, for the good of this 'bzrtion of our distracted country. GLADSTONE. The magical influence exerted. over the minds of the English people by the grand and eloquent old Premier is wonderful and yet, when it is con sidered what he has done for Great Brittain, in his long and eventful life -a life unspotted by any act of venal ity or treachery to Prince or people, it is not so surpassing that the Govern ment supported by the people rush often times into error, under the guidance of a statesman who, howev er great, learned and eloquent, is of ten carried away by his enthusiasm, and into measures that his sober reas ning would condemn in another, as he ravings o1 a madman. His plan of pacification for poor, distracted reland seems, with few exceptions, literally to have taken away the breath of English Editors and to us, across the ocean, it looks rather like a wild peculation to issue consuls to the amount of $200,000,000-for the pur hase of the estates of the nobility in the Emerald Isle, with a debt already imense. This would have the appearance of being a very large concession, all at once, to Irish Agitators; and would, most likely, turn the head of every rishman in the land. The next would be demanded, an act of Separation, and a small subsidy to the English Government. Why cannot, other and more peaceable domains of the vast British Realm demand such recogni tion, as reward for firm adherence to the Crown, while it is being given out to qnell insurrection, and as compen ation for rebellion? More than a half hundred conquered and annexed Provinces, are watching the "Lion and the Unicorn," and will, in all proba bility, stand ready for an equal share of favors. This grand old English :nan who has, for so many decades, I leld upon his right arm the Crown, md upon his left the good will of the t eople, appears at last, in the final 2ours of his public ministry, to suffer 2is head turned by the ovation and tpplause of the Parnellites and other tgitators, who, as it would seem, iave but one duty to perform-and hat to keep thinge-stirred up, wheth- t :r by debate or by dynamite, it mat ers little. The Farmers in the University. ([News and Courier.] A convention of farmers of the State 1 ill be held at Columbia on the 29th ti nstant. It i. hoped and expected 1 hat there will be a full delegation ofi -epresent.tive men from each county( td that the deliberations of the con-1 rentio'. will be distinguished by a full< md earnest discussion of practical luestions bearing upon the industrial t lie of the people. Among the ques- t ions that will come up for considera tion is the relation of the farmers toi the educational institution of the State. t is of the utmost importance that the 1 members of the convention shall have 1 all the facts before them. In the call for the convention recently published in THE NEws .ND ConUMER the follow-( ing paragraph occurs: . "Forty thousand dollars are spent< annually in the State, three fourths of it paid by the farmers, to educate men< for other professions and pursuits; the farers get nothinbg, and are left toi grope their way towards the grave in ignorance and its consequent poverty."i Let us see what are the facts of thei case. Take the State University at< Columbia, for instance. Is it true: that the farmers derive no benefiti from the money appropriated for thei support for that institution? The to-] tal number of students attending the'i ,niversity, this session is 213. Of this number 206 are from South Carolina, and 7 from other States. Of the 206 students from South Caro-< lina, 84 are sons of men exclusively< engaged in farming; 28 are sons of1 county physicians, ministers and mer chnts who are also largely engaged in farming; 52 are sons of merchants, builders, manufacturers, mechanics] and men engaged in other industrial pursuits; 25 are sons of lawyers; 7 arej sons of teachers; 6 are sons of preach ers, and four are sons of physicians. 1 The attendance of students by counties is as follows; Abbeville 7, Ai ken 3, Anderson 5, Barnwell 2, Berke-: l 2, Charleston 10, Chester 9, Ches-] terfield 2, Clarendon 4, Colleton 3,] Darlington 10, Edgefield 9, Fairfield 7, Georgetown 5, Greenville 1, Hamp ton 1, Kershaw 5, Lancaster 5, Laur ens 6, Lexington 2, Marlboro' 4, Mar ion 7, Oconee 1, Orangeburg 9, Pick ens 1, Richland 36, Spartanburg 17 Sumter 18, 'Union 6, Williamsburg 1, York 8. The following table shows at a glance that the farmers of the State derive a fair share of benefit from the money appropriated for the support of the 'University: Sons of farmers proper. ... . .. . .84 . Sons of men partially farmers. .. .28-112: Sons of men engaged in other in dustrial pursuits ......... .., .....52 Sons of' professional men. .. .. .. .42- 94 The facts that we have given show that every county, with the exception of Beaufort, is represented at the Uni-I versity, and that the most progressive agricultural counties furnish the larg' est number of pupils. They further show that nearly 41 per cent. of the: stnudnts na the sons of fnrmers; thatI 4 per cent. are sons of men entirely >r partly engaged in agricultural work, tnd that only about 20 per cent. of I he students are the sons of profes ;ional men. Is it true that "the far ners get nothing" from the "forty housand dollars spent "annually in he State to educate men "for other professions and pursuits?" 3IAJORITIES VS. MINORI TIES, DR. J. L. EASTER LING. BLrE RIGE, S. C., APRTL, 6, 1886. To my good friends of Clarendon Sounty. GEMLEMEN: When I use the words najorities and minorities, I of course nclude all classes of men in both. Nio other kind of Democracy will suit ne at all. If conventions must be issembled, touching general laws for he whole people, (of course none oth rs could be constitutionally enter ained) the Democracy of our fathers lemand, that all classes shall be rep resented. I would not be so immod st, as to set up judgment against the wisdom of my noble little State, yet, [ feel too grateful to our "dead fath rs," to hesitate for one moment of ime, to take their -jewels to my hand, md scatter them broadcast over the tate of South Carolina-my idol. Laws enacted for the benefit of very arge majorities, are safer than if made ;o suit a few, as minorities are under nore obligations to majorites, than najozNies are to minorities. Though he rights of minorities should be res >ected the same as those of majorities, et it is not safe so to shape laws, that ninorities, (who are more than apt to >e our office holders and business nen) should have business advantag s greater than those of very large najorities, who should rule every ountry according to the "rule of ight" alone. Safer though it may be o shape laws to suit majorities, yet it tecords more with justice, (the great )mocratic foundation) that both ma orities and minorities, should stand s equals before the law. Then se :ure to the downtrodden farmer his -ights, and to business men seven pe :ent alone on the dollar, and we will iave justice before the law. That is vhat our fathers taught us; and we dil know, that the State has not the visdom to-day; that she had in heir time. The State of South Caro ina, should never allow minorities to nake slaves of their equals. Men in yower, should use no more authority han is necessary to carry on their )usiness. More than that is tyranny. Che laws of this State allow every man ,o think what he pleases; aiid to think Lloud too, if he wishes. But they do iot sanction any hurtful issertions. Cherefore we should be very careful hen we speak, or when we write, that e violate no law of the State, though he may not because of her tenderness owards the citizen, see fit to punish ne for so doing. The abuse of pow r and the improper use of privilege, re both equally hostile to liberty. o manshould be allowed to exercise uthority or have privilege conferred ipon him, except he be composed of he best material possible. Though )ad blood may have much to do with njustice, yet methinks bad training, or rather no training at all)hbas much nore to do in the matter. No one >ught to be accused of arraying citi :en against citizen, when he simply ells us, that a very large majority of he people of this State, (composed of ill classes) should rule, if they follow n every particular the "rule of right." es, such a majority might very well >e trusted to distribute rights to their >usiness friends and themselves alike. )pposition to the above doctrine vould have the greater tendency to livide the people. When the law ives too much power or too great an ~xpansion of privilege, (but they both ~enerally go together) patriotism and ~onscience and sense of justica, it ~eems to me, are quite sufficient to nake any well-trained man so conduct aimself towards his fellow-man, as ;hat he may live with a heart in his >osom, and die with an unwhipped :onscience. Man is a natural tyrant; md unless he be curbed by good lood and proper training, he is more ;han apt to be a dangerous man in any part or in any country; and even if he as good in his veins, without the ight kind of training, it may do his >ature good to oppress. We do not ~ee so much abuse of power as we do >f privilege, because the aspirations f the one are noble, while those of he other are common-place indeed. surely the wisdom of our fathers >ught to make us to see to it, that ao man shall receive more than seven per cent. on the dollar, and thereby mrround privilege within just and proper bounds. Our judges and gov irnors will scarcely ever oppress us, anless compelled to do so by some Nestionable law, which they would tetest as much as they would the op pression, as their aspirations are as pure as gold. The nobler are the as pirations of men, (and they can have ao proud aspirations unless they have been properly trained) the greater will be their leniency in the discharge f their duties. Power is only dan gerous, when governed by the rule of privilege; and as the rule of privilege eem~s to govern the whole business world, that rule our fathers wisely thought, should be taken within prop ir bounds, at least, in the State of South Carolina. I would scorn to idocate any law which would bene tit me more than any other man; and [ would submit it to any just court, if such a law, can possibly be a consti butional law. It is too often the case I ear, that self interst is the advocate, nd money the reawun, Mutual conli Ience and mutual dependence are the nly safe guides to the prosperity and the happiness of any people. When very large majorities become sudden Ly poor, we are naturally driven to the :onclusion, that the rule of wrong has been too friendly indeed to the law aaking power. Men are not angels; mu no matter iw well law-makers uiav have endeavored to discharge their duty, this outrageous rule (the parent of all other hurtful rules) 1- is again and again imposed upon legis lative bodies, by inducing them to send forth either her important self with injustice in her hands for the people, or one or more of her darling children to do the miserable work. Majorities are no better by nature than minorities, (would oppress too if backed by some improper rule) yet surely they should have equal rights before the law, that we may have mu tual confidence and mutual depend ence between man and man. It is alarming indeed, when either majori ties or minorities are allowed to be governed by some mischievous rule. Mutual confidence and mutual de pendence spring directly from the "rule of right;" and if put in perpet ual motion, they would lead any na tion or any people to that perfection in government, which is allowed by the good One to come within the reach of man. By no other means, whatever, can we possibly hope to have a government approximating to perfection. Public opinion can only be correct, when the "rule of right" preponderates with the ruling power. When our law-makers see from op pressive results, that they have done either too much or too little, if they would be governed by the profound wisdom of our fathers-they would immediately retrace their steps, guid ed alone by the just and equitable "rule of right."
