THE MANINGIMiEi. Manni3ng, S LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, May 8, 1S95. The silver craze has taken possession of the Western States and is spreading like wild-fire. Every indication points to a fierce battle for free silver in the next na tional campaign. From now on the people will hear of silver, gold, monometallism, bimetallism and other financial "isms" to their heart's content, and when it is all over and the politicians take their seats, the people will still be plowing on and wondering when times will get better. On reading the News and Courier this morning we felt inclined to take a big draught of Hood's Sarsaparilla to dispel "that tired feeling" which came over us as we read the return of Commissioner Mixon in the contempt proceedings before Judge Goff in Columbia yesterday. Commissioner Mixon no doubt was acting under the ad vice of his lawyers, but, all the same, his return to the court that he meant no de fiance, and .is ready and willing at all times to respect the court, has the ring of a cracked bell about it. The United States Circuit Court ever since last Thursday has been the scene of one of the greatest legal battles that has ever been fought in this State. Some of - the arguments in the -registration case would, to use the language of an eminent lawyer, "grace any court in the Union, do credit to any lawyer, the beat not excepted." The high compliment was paid by this gentleman after hearing Attorney General Barber for the registra tion law and Mr. C. A. Douglass against it. General McGrady, who is assisting the State in a most able and dignified manner, showed up the inconsistency of Dr. Samp son Pope, and made this lawyer-doctor and man of many occupations squirm like an eel; to such an extent that Sampson, became shorn ofhisstrength, pleaded with the court for protection. The fight that is being waged against the State has uncovered the fact that there ex ists in this State a class of men who are patriois for revenue only. The registration law now in dispute was enacted in 1882, when the State government was in the hands of others, and when these parties lost their control, they endeavored to de vise some plan to regain that control. It was-not until every other effort had failed that they entered into the scheme of tear ing up the law made by themselves, and then not until their pockets had been am ply filled with money in the shape of fees from the Republican party which has been looked upon as the enemy of white supre macy and anglo-saxon civilization in this State. Major Caldwell, one of the attor neys employed to tear up our registration law, becomes tired of having his motives questioned, and wants it understood that because he is opposing "outrageous laws" be is "not fighting his State." 'Tis passing strange that this would-be lover of justice did not know before 1890 the State had upon its statute books "outrageous laws." He raises his hands in holy horror because his fellow-citizens brand him as a traitor simply because "he wants to do away with legislation in which a majority of the voters in the State took no part and which they do not approve." Who is this majority, that this gallant Major, who claiins to have shown his patriotism on a hundred fields of carnage,aspeaks of? Is it a majority of his white brethren ? No; it is that majori ty which once had full control of this gov ernment and abused that control to such an extent that caused the white men to risk their all in order to peere their civ -:ilization. It is not to be wondered at that Major Caldwell and his associate, Dr. Sampson Pope, wince at the frowns and expressions of disgust from their fellow Ehite men, and were it not for the fact that the white men of this State were divided *into political factions, these men would not have dared, even with the tempting in fluence of Republican gold, to take the steps they have towards anni hilating white supremacy. The fac tional division in our ranks has given such men an opportunity and they are using it for every dollar they can get, but we hope the day is not far off when the gold these men receive will turn into Sisonous vipers and recoil upon them. e United States courts may decide against the State in her election laws, but the .white men of the State will not lose eouirage thereby. They will go on and ~keep possession of this government, eost h'at it may. This government belongs to -the white men ; their forefathers bought it with their blood, and, if the necessity arises, their sons will be found ready and *willing to h'eld on to their heritage. The white men of this State diffr on factional is sues~but when it comes to a question of white man's supremacy or a return to the old conditions, it will be found that factional issues will be thrust aside and Conserva *tives and Reformers will be shoulder to shioulder. SILAS JONES' TRIBUTE ToConservatism, Tadyism and Side walk iFarming. "Papa, when we were talking the other night, you said that the Conservatives were 'anxious to get half the delegates to the Constitutional convention, and you feared they would use the negro to secure the ether half. Why, papa, are they so anxious -to get it all?" "Well, son, that opens up a great ques tion with many intricate points. I don't know that I can make it exactly plain to you in as few words as I would like. You must bear in mind-first, that the so-called Conservative faction is very largely (I might say almost entirely) composed of professional men, such as lawyers, doe tors, merchants, bankers, brokers and all *-the sharpers and swindlers ; that these men ever since the creation, I might say; have subsisted and grown rich upon the fara.ing, mechanical and laboring classes ; that with their wealth and power they have influenced and directed legislation. In this way they have trenched upon the rights and stolen the liberties of the poor classes to such an extent that there is but little protection left to the poor man. Now, in the present State Constitution, with all its faults, there is one good and wise pro vision made for the poor man-the home stead law. This was a barrier set be tween the poor man or defenseless widow and these heartless Shylocks. Beyond this they could not go in their efforts to destroy their hunted victim. Now, it has been the dream and aim of these pro. fessional men for many years to wipe out this merciful provision that they might get . all. They carefully conceal their desire, -and allusion to it is suppressed, so that 'they may not awaken the suspicion and opposition which- has been lulled to sleep by glittering generalities and the cry of - white supremacy, ete., etc., ad nauseume." "If these people-I mean the Conaerva tives-love white supremacy as much as they would have us believe, why do their leading lawyers and citizens disgrace themselves by the most damning testimony against a noble-hearted gentleman, such as John L. MeLaurin is known.to be. in favor or the negro republican, Wilson ?" "The white men who went before that committee and aided, by falsehood and otherwise, the cause of the negro Wilson should be forever held in the utmost con tempt by all respectable citizens ; and, mark it. they will be. Now, sdn, with such examples as this before our eyes, would we not be foolish to trust our future welfare and that our families in the hands of such men, with the stain of black in f~uny fresh upon them?" "Why, papa, did white men-calling themselves decent-testify against Mr. McLaurin?" "Yes, son, men with white skins, but hearts blacker than tar, had the effrontry to go upon the stand and testify to falsehoods in order to aid a negro to defeat General MeTaurmin T is instances of this kind that have made all true reformers look with much distrust upon pledges from the Con servatives." "Papa, are all farmers Reformers?" "Why no, my son. There are quite a number of farmers who are Conservatives, just as you will find some mechanics howl ing and fighting in the defense of monop olists, who are ready to crush them when they get power enough. Some are against their own interests through ignorance, while some are against their best interests simply because they are toadies." "What is a toady, papa?" "A toady, my son, is a man who at heart feels that he is an inferior being. The dress, pomp and display of the wealthy classes dazzles his eyes and addles his weak brain. He does not envy so much as he adores them. His aim in life is to imi tate these people in every way possible. He walks and talks like them ; he goes to their church whether he has any religious belief or not ; he conducts all his affairs as near like them as possible ; his children must go to the same school and must act as the children of the models act ; they must afieet a style in dress and manners exactly like the pattern before than, though it entail an expense that leads to final destruction. One patronizing smile, one-only one-short visit from the adored suffices for- a life of rebuffs and con tempt, and is a red-letter day in the cal endar of these miserable beings." "Well, papa, what made me ask you if all farmers were Reformers was what Billy Simkins said to-day. Billy is in my class and he says that his pa is a Conservative and don't believe in the Reformers, who are all poor trash, anyway, and his pa is a farmer." "Yes, son, James Simkins is a Conserva ttve. He is also a farmer, it is true, and there are several more like him in Tuliper township. They are of the class I have just described. Simkins, like many of his kind, has mortgaged all his possessions to keep up this style. He has been recog nized by the leaders as what is called a very progressive farmer. It has rained poor Simkins. for now he devotes all his time, energy and money to cultivating a few heads of 'cabbage, some turnips, squash and pumapkins for the different county fairs. Last year he got nearly $30 in prizes, as well as a whole lot of blue and red ribbon and sheets of parchment with great red and gold seals distributed all over them ; also a half column in the Weekly Bugle Blast. All this glory cost him only $418.63. You will find, as a rule, that these glory-'hunting farmers are Conservatives." "Well, papa, ain't fairs a good thing for farmers ?" "No, son, not as conducted by profes sional men or sidewalk farmers." - "What is a sidewalk farmer, papa?" "A sidewalk farmer is a man who lives in town and has a garden filled with jimpson weeds and dog fennel where in the early spring he buried two or three dollars' worth of garden seed. He has read a great deal about how to manage farm crops in the "hints to farmers," which nearly every almanac contains, and can give you more remarkable information on farming than would be wise to follow. If you ask him why he let the weeds get ahead of him he will tell you about the unreliability of labor in the South, and deeply deplores the fact that "the damned nigger won't work." But he 'makes your hair fairly stand on end by the glowing accounts of what he is going to do next year. Give him an empty soap box or a vacant space on a shop counter upon which to rest him self-for he is always very tired-and he will keep a store full of people listening to his eloquence. His knowledge is varied and by no means confined to agriculture. He can tell you exactly how much money per capita there was in each nation up to Ia. t Saturday night; he can tell you exaei.y when the next war between the Hottentots and the Laplanders will break out, and just how and in what particular it will af fect this country. He handles the Bible without gloves, and can point out its glaring errors to his own satisfaction. He can show you the weak spots in Shakespere, and philosophy is easy to him. He is an all-round oracle ; he never seems any older than he did twenty or thirty years ago ; his species seem never to die, but live on and en, and no one every knows what finally is their end. A dead town or cross roads oracle and a dead grey mule are two sights rarely ever seen." "Papa, 'why do you object to fairs?" "I do not object to fairs if conducted by practical farmers. What I do object to is the so-called fairs, which are merely places for the gathering of bunco-steerers, three card -monte men, horse jockeys, fakirs of kinds, swindlers, pickpockets, etc., etc., in which farmers and their produce are only permitted on sufferance, and where the city or town professional men pocket large sums by the sale of rights and privileges to these scoundrels, who get fat on the gullibility or innocence of the country people, who are attracted to it by cheap railroad fares and highly colored posters much as a circus attracts the negro, where he is likewise robbed." "Papa, Bill Simkins says his pa is going to be some kind ot a manager at the next fair, and that they can all go in free. Can they ?'' "Yes, I reckon they can, for Simkins is superintendent of the machinery depart ment because he has run a herse rake and a mowing mrehine for two years. He knows no more about machinery than old Uncle Toby Jackson, but .he can do about as well as any of them. He can look knowing and wise when examining a new hind of cane mill and tie a ribbon on it for the best cider press on exhibition or threshing machine and separator for a cotton gin and condensor. These are small errors very common and are easily and pleaantly adjusted. Simkins is a happy man as he struts around properly badged-like some rare and unique speci men of humanity on exhibition. He ruins himself financially. He dines and wines the other managers, and for the two or three days of the fuir wouldn't think of swopping places with the Emperor of Germany." "Does he get any pay -for this, papa ?" "Yes,.son ; he is abundantly paid in glory, and for the three days is the cyno sure of all eyes. His name is printed in large black letters in all the premium lists. The Bugle Blast drops out for one issue Lydia Pinkhamn's benevolent countenance to make room in its advertising.columns for an alleged wood cut of Simkins, whose countenance expresses entirely too much ink and makes him look like a Spanish pirate with a three-years' beard on his face. Now, son, get to your books and study your lesson. I want to read the last number of the Bugle Blast and see what is happening in Tuliper township." Si~as Joitxs. Tired, Weak, Nervous, Means impure blood, and overwork or too much strain on brain and body. The only way to cure is to feed the nerves on pure blood. Thousands of people .certify that the best blood purifier, the best nerve tonic and strength builder is Hood's Sarsa parilla. What it has done for others it will do for you-Hoed's Cures. Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss of appc tite and general debility ail disappear when Hood's Sarsaparilla is persistently taken, and strong nerves, sweet sleep, strong body, sharp appetite, and, in a word, health and happiness follow the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla. The strong point about Hood's Sarsapa rilla is that they are permanent, because they start from the solid foundation of purified, vitalized and enriched blood. The UniorgMutual Life Insurance Com pany of Portland, Maine, has an adver tisement in another column, which we would call the attention of our readers t>. This company is -one of the best in the United States, and its contracts are liberal. Every man should have his life insured, and the only question to solve is which company offers the beat inducements. In the advertisement of the Union Mutual it will be seen that they are fully able to carry out their promises. Those desiring to ob tain insurance or wishing information can be supplied by addressing a letter to Major Barnard B. Evans, Columbia, S. C., who is the general agent for South Carolina.
