VETERANS AND PRESS EN TERTAINED. Charleston may not be up-to-date on some things, but when it comes to real genuiue hospitality she is "striet ly il' it," Latst week that a dr tatIed thousands of peopl3 and they made everybody feel as much at home as if they were at a community picnic. T be Veterans were taken to every thing and every where, aud the newspaper men were wade to share and share alike with the Vets. Every attention possible was given the guests of the city and we know that it will have the effect of going a long way towards allaying whatever prejudices exists between Charleston and the country. The Young -Meu's Business League tendered a banquet at the Charleston Hotei to the mem bers of;th .,press and around that festive board the kindest of feeling was expressed fur the welfare of the "City by the Sea." Tae league is composed of business men who re alize the fact that Charleston is only oue city in te State of Soutu.Caro ;iua, and that tuere are other citieis and towns in this;State-that are in a positio'n to givegCharleston active~ competition; this beiug tiue, these suusioie business men do not propose to zue sept mn a false position by p)hiticianLs who have been doing nothing in the past few yea're but to kieep up an irritation between the~ couutry and the city; the result has been that Gujarleston was the sutferer. Tue Young Men's Business League, have taken hold of this matter aunt. frohiY the manner they received and entertained the country-folics their. desire to create a better feeling wvas: one of the most noticable and comn mendable features of the occasion, and we sincerely hope these efforts will be ciowned with success; but to succeed, they will have to "sit down" on those who are responsible for the present conditions and go to work to put Charleston in full control oX her busiuessimnen, whose interests are identical witu the people of the country. T1he cordial reception given the people from all over the State last week was but a small begining of an era of good feeling and from a busi ness standpoint it showed to Char leston that it is to her interests to offer the greatest inducements to the country-loiks to visit the city often. The natural market for the people of this state is Charleston and there is no reason why all of the produce made in t he State cannot go there, and if the people of that city will s..stain and back up the Young Men's Business League, by sending to the rear the moss-backs who be .lieve in keeping up the customs of their ancestors and to the devil the peakey Paradise Alley politicians Charleston will take on a new growth which will be felt from tbc battery to the Line street, and the country cousins will look forward to the day when they are to knock the mud from their plow shoes and put oi' a store shirt to take a trip to and buy goods in thbe nietroplis of South Carolina. A large and enthusiastic meeting was held in Charleston last Monday night under the auspices of the "A. P. A." and the orator was President WV. J. H. Traynor. He denounced Papal interference with our body poli tie. He denounced trusts, combina tions, national banks, and what he termed the late gold-bond steal and charged Congress with being corrupt etc, etc, and his speech was vocifer ously applauded. Had Ben Tillman gone before the same people and uttered'the same sentiments he would have been hissed. Senator Tilinman has returned to his post in Washington and when the bond investigation resolution comes up again we think he will have some thing of interest to say. We look for a tilt between him and Senator Hill, of New York,and when they do clash it will be a battle of giants and the other fellows had better hoist their umbrellas or be drowned in the flow of eloquence. They issued them by the bushel. Was l. the stuff that George Law issued, known as the George Law bubble good money in England? If you had barrels of cheap money what would you do with it. They wouldn't take it at the bank and I wouldn't take it for a fee. Johuson. I have been telling him all the tme that he was all wrong; that what he wanted was good money, dear money, that will buy twice as much this year as it would last. That is the kind of money we want. He says he wants money of the same value all the time. What do you think of him? He says he don't want to pay, when he pays his mortgage, imouey that costs any more to get of either labor or property than the money he borrowed. He don't see the advantage of the growing pur chasing power of money, nor can he see how ueueficial it is to have every thing else cheap. He don't even ap preciate the lesson of economy which our good President is teaching. Lawyer. Johnson, your head is level. you know that all we want is the quality of money. It don't wake any diterence about the quantity. One dollar of the right quality is bet ter than a thousand dollars of bad money. Good money is what we want. Unless money is good money, the more you have of it the worse off you are. Farmer. But isn't the silver dol lar good mnone%? If not why did the Constitution provide for coining it, and why was it always used when 1 was a boy and when times were good? We thought it mighty good money then and we had good times when we had plenty of silver, and they tell me it was used for thous Inds of years. Why do you pretend that it is all the same as Uoutedeiate money? I thought the difficulty about the Confeder-.te money was they issued it in quan tities without rhyme or reason, and t b-: govenmnlCt busted up and there was nobody to father it, so it was not money at all. . heard a gentleman waking a silver speech the other night, and he talked very sensibly. He said that money was the creation of law; that Aristotle said so more than two thousand years ago and that silver was good money as long as it could be coined at the mint and the law made it a legal tender. But when itjcuuldn't be coined at the mint then the siker itself wasn't money at all. In fact, silver itself never was money. Gold bullion ain't money. You have got to have the ,taup of the government on it. When you could take silver bullion to the mint and have it coined it was just as good as gold bullion. I remember that very well. You are talking very foolisaly wuen you compare good silver money coined at the mint by the great government of the United States to tie paper of a busted up ouiederacy or the Gleo. Law bubble or the repudiated assignats of France. Lawyer. It seems to me you talk very xuooishly. Don't you know that se:ver is only wvorth 50 cents and the silver doilar is a 50 cent dollar? IFarmer. No, I don't kno? any thing of the kind. I can get just as mauca with a silver dollar as I can with a "old dollar, but the trouble is the Umited States, after taking the right to coin money away from the States, won't coin it for the people, and silver that cannot be coined of course ain't worth as much as gold that can be coined, because thaere ia gfreat deal of silver and a great deal of gold that is in use in the arts a&.d whbat the arts don't consumue there is no use for except for coin, and when you stop coining it you make it chevp. You open the mints as they always wvere to silver just the same as gold, and silver bullion will be just as good as gold bullion, just as it was for four thousand years as they tell me, just asit was as long as I can remember. Lawyer. Thbe silver dollars in cir culation are as good as gold dollars because the government has agreed to pay gold dollars for them whenever they are presented, just the same as the government has agreed to give gold dollars for greenbacks and other treasury notes. The silver dollars wouldn't be wvorth anything unless the government would pay gold dol lars for them any more than the pa per would. Farmer. Squire, you are all wrong or that man was the biggest liar on earth who talked the other tnight about silver. He said that the sil ver dollar and the silver certificates were not redeemable in gold; that the law made all the silver dollars that are coi.ned independent to staud alone as silver dollars just the same as gold dollars, and that the silver certificates were by law redeemable in the silver dollars and not in the gold dollars, and that all the silver dollars and all the silver certificates stood on silver coin and stood alone on that, and squire, he read the statutes, saying that very thing. Now did the statute lie, or are you trying to hoodoo me?' Johnson. Mr. Cleveland says that silver dollars are not good money and he wvon't make the bondholders take them, and he wont make the bankers take them, who want to get gold to ship to Europe, but he gives them gold every time. He says they are entitled to gold. He says it don't make any difference; because our soldiers were paid in greenbacks and silver and that everybody has to take silver except the bankers. If a man who wants to gamble in ~gold and make money on it, or take the gold out of the country, he must have goli atnd he will give him gold at any cost. He has been selbing bonds, two or three hundred millions of them, to buy gold for this very purpose. Don't you see that the silver dollar wouldn't pay off any thinig unless Mr. Cleveland would buy gold for everybody who wanted gold, except of course the people of this country, I mean the common peo ple, t- e bankers and speculators must have gold or the honor of the country will be destroyed. Hasn't he in volved the country during his ad ministration with about three hun dred millions of debt to give gold to gold gamblers for the sole purpose of maintaining the honor of the country? Farmer. So it is more honorable to give bankers and exporters of gold, gold, than it is to give gold to the people? Lawyer. All the difference in the world Ynn see the great bankers of EDDIE BURGESS MONr(4 STRANGERS. It is always a source of pleasure vith us to notice the prosperity of our home people, and whenever we see our boys who have left home and frien-.s behind,to enter the battle of life a:uid strangertliat t:e.re efforts have been crowned with success, we are delighted.

The Charleston Hotel has such a priv ilege, but the prices charged there is out of all reason and not in accord ance with dispensary rates. We do not believe in this "speci:ti privilege' business unless all of the hotels are allowed the same rih~ts,and when the privilege is granted, there should be a constant watch kept over them to see that the privilege is not abused and the haw is nlot vio~lated.

FARMER AND MECHiANIC ON MONEY. A DIALOGUE. Scene: Chicago, Illinois. Characters: An Attorney, Farmer, and Johnson, a Railroad Mechanie. Johnson and the Farmer consult their lawyer. Farmner. Squire, we bave come to tsk your advice about the question of Zree coinage. Lawyer. I am counsel for the First National Bank of this town and it, is the only client I have able to pay me a cent. I haven't collected a dol lar from r~ny of you farmers in two years. Why should you come to tme ft r avice? Farmer. The reason why we haven't paid you is not because we are dishonest and don't wont to pay our debts, but because money is so scarce and we can't get the money. We can't sell what we raise for enough to pay our taxes and interest on mortgages. You know that most of my neighbors have already been sold out, and I have come to consult you on that very matter-how we can get more money, and ask you if the. free coinage of silver, such as we used to have whe4 we had good times, would not give us plenty of money? Lawyer. That is all the trouble with you farmers. You are all the tie trying to tamper with the cur rency. Why don't you take the ad vice of the bank as I do. Bankers are engaged in the muoney business and they know all about it. Free oinage would give you plenty of money, but would it be good money? Was the Confederate money good mone'? They had plenty of it. Were Europe would declare that the credit )f the United States wasn't worth a cent if it wouldn't give them all they want, but the people of the United States love their government and will stand by it notwithstanding the President robs them to satify the bankers. You see the only honor that is left in this country is confined tc New York bankers, who spread a little out among the other bankers :ad the New York bankers get all thicr honor from Lombard street, Loudon and Lombard street bankers :et all their honor from Rothschild, who is the fountain of all honor. Johnson. Squire, I knew you woul. l give him the clean stuff. You understood what he wanted. I thank you very much. Lawyer. I am glad you and the farmer came to me so that I could give you sound advice. These farmers ought not to be meddling with sub jects that don't concern them. They would ruin the country if they had their way. Tbey would make dollars as cheap as they were in times of Jefferson and Jackson and make wheat and cotton and everything else they produce so dear that the -hayseeds" would have a surplus and all become upstarts, be sending their children to school and wearing good clothes and there would be no dis tinction between bankers, lawyers and the common people. I am very much obliged to you Mr. Johnson, for bringing him here where I can in struct him. Farmer. This may be all very well, but I thought the farmers were the bone and sinew of the country. Every time there is any trouble farmers have to bear the brunt of it. The boys who beat the red coats and whipped their hired Hessians in the revolution were nearly all farmer boys. Farmers' boys turned out in 1812 under old-Hickery and cleaned the English out at New Orleans and it was the farmers' boys on both sides that did such splendid fighting in the last war. These bankers that you talk about didn't even live in this country. They speculated in bonds and sold shoddy to the soldiers, cheated them in every way and got rich while we were vaving the country. Most all of these rich fellows got rich because they were skulking cowards and staid at home while we were fighting. Now you say the country is for them and for nobody else and if we don't make dollars dear and men and other things cheap there will be no distinction between the banking aristocracy, the lawyers and the common people. I tell you, 'Squire. you think you are an aristo crat now because you are attorney for the bank but these other lawyers in town are just as bad off as the farmers. In fact, one of them came to me this morning and wanted me to trust him for a pig. He said that he had had no meat in the family for a month and if I would trust him to a pig it would help him out. The fellowv urged so hard that I gave him the fattiest little pig I had, and when he took it home in his arms to roast it his wife and children all came to the door and the old woman actually shed tears of joy because they were going to have something to eat. You had better look out for your retajaer and stick to the hank if you don't you will be in just as bad a fix as that other lawyer. Johnson. How unreasonable he is. Why he is even opposed to an aristocracy in this country, and I sup pose that he will even be opposed to the plan which has been recently adopted of buying lords and dukes for husbands for our rich girls so as to raise our own aristocracy. I shouldn't be surprised if he wasn't opposed to that and want American girls to marry Americans and de grade themselves! But, Squire everything has been a little blue here for some time. Ten years ago things were booming. Railroads and house building and employnient for every body. Everybody appeared to have good times. What has made the difference? Lawyer. Silver agitation and Populists. It is the complaints that such men as this farmer here makes about the good government which we have, which destroys confidence. Confidence is what we want. You don't need any money if you can really have confidence. You go into any of the banking houses in New York. You see they have good times there. Why is it. They know they have got all the money and nobody else can get it and their confidence is all right. The farmers ought to know that the money is safe. It is good money and safe in the banks, and they ought to have confidence. Confidence would make them enjoy the economy wvhich it is necessary to practice when you haven't got any thing to eat. Confidence will do it all. Johnson. Your explanation is perfect. I knew that these wretched farmeis were to blame but I didn't know exactly how it was. Now I know. When they complain because they can't get money to pay taxes, and that they cant get shoes for their children and because their wives are worn out and sick from doing hard work they shake the confidence of the country. That is what is the trouble. We must stop tneir com plaints and teach them more econo my; that will cure them. There is no way to stop the extravagance of the farmers but to keep money away from them. If they get money the first thing you know they will be buy ing clothes for the children or some thing for them to eat. Why, I be lieve this farmer here, our friend would be bad enough if he had plen ty of money to buy a dress for his wife. Such things have to atop. It ruins the country. Nothing shakes confidence so much as for a farmer and his wife to have money enough to buy clean clothes to go to church with on Sunday. Lawyer. You are a good and wise man, and I will tell the eashierof our bank when you go in there next time to smile on you. Of course, I wouldn't ask himi to loan you any money, for that would make you ex travagant, but he ought to smile on you, I think. I think he owes you a smile for your sound principles. I hope what I have said will make an impression upon you. There is one other thing I wanted to tell you about. These men who advocate the free coinage of silver, every one of them, is a silver baron. You might nt thinkr it~ but there a not ne in M MONS EGULATOR THE BEST SPRING MEDICINE Is SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR. Don't forget to take it. Now is the time you need it most to wake up your Liver.

Zeilin & Co., Philadelphia, Pa. the United States that ad, ocates the free coinage of ilver that has not got a silver mine worth ten millions of dollars, at least, and. he wants to make it worth twenty mrillions of dollars. You see silver now is only worth fifty cents on the dollar and he wants to sell it to the government for a dollar. You didn't know that we all knew that you had a silver mine and all the farmers bad. Now you see silver is worth a little more than fifty cents on the dollar. If you coined all this silver the eilver dollars would be only worth fifty cents. Still you silver miners would be getting a dol lar in silver. Farmer. How do you make that out? You say that if we could have our silver coined the silver dollars would only be worth fifty cents. Lawyer. Just so. Farmer. Then we would get a silver dollar, would we? It would be worth just fifty cents would it ? Lawyer. Yes. Farmer. You said a minute ago that silver bullion was worth fifty cents now, and if you could only get a silver dollar for it how would we make any money ? But, squire, you astonish me very much. Your pro found knowledge makes me super stitious. How you could ascertain that all of us farmers are rich silver barons. We have tried to keep it se cret. We swear our children to keep it secret and swear our babies when they are a day old not to tell. Lawyer. You must see now that we have studied this question thor oughly and found out all about your resources. I am astonished that you cannot see how you silver miners will make money by coining your silver into fifty-cent dollars, when your sil ver is already worth that amount. Farmer. I cannot see it. Lawyer. That is on account of your great ignorance. You suggest ed a little while ago that money wvas scarce and that demonetizing silver made it scarce. Don't you know that de~nonetizing silver destroyed half the metalic money in the world ? Farmer. Yes, I know it did. Lawyer. Don't you know that by estroying half the money would make it plenty ? Farmer. No, I thought by de stroying half the money would make money scarce. Lawyer. In that you make a great mistake. You must study your arith metic again in which you will learn that half is much greater than a whole and that by demonetizing sil ver the amount of money has been increased,the money is very plentiful. My bank says it was never so plen teous in the world and that good se curity was never so searce. Farmer. I don't quite understand how destroying half the money in :-ease the quantity~but I do know wby security is scarce; because our farms ain't worth anything now. The price has gone down so that we cannot get anything for what we have and of course wye cannot give se curity. Tlhe bankers would rather keep the money for us, because mon ey is safe and as long as it grows dearer they make money that way. Lawyer." We must bring this dis cussion to a close, because it is about time that I must go to the bank and prepare papers to foreclose the moert gage on Dick Winter's farm. Farmer. Has Dick gone up and, you are going to close him out ? Lawyer. Oh, yes. We have got to close him out. His wife came to church last Sunday with a bran new calico dress on and the banker ouldn't Stand it any longer. If he ouldn't use his money any better than that, he would have to put an honest man on the farm. But before on go I want to tell you one other way that you farmers are doing a great deal of harm. You are scaring foreign capital out of the country. You know every time one of your children cries for bread that the gold in ene of Rothschild's biggest bank ing house in New York rolls over and want's to go to England right away, where it will be safe from the out rages of the mob. Farmer. Well, Squire, if capital is as timid as that you had better go to the bank and save what they have got there from the danger of being driven out of the country by the cries of Dick Winter's babies when you put him off his farm. Johnson. Good-bye, Squire. I am very much obliged to you for cor recting the errors of my friend and making everything clear, lucid, and ambiguous. Farmer. Good-bye, Squire; stick to the bank', because if you get kicked out your growls and complaints will, Iam afraid, wholly drive all the mon ey, foreign and domestic, out of the eountry and ruin the aristocracy, so that nobody will have money to buy Poreign titled husbands for their laughters.
