In oth er words, ignorance begets nar- t rawness, and when you see a shan so narrow in his views that be impugns the motives of oth- a ers because they do not agree, t just attribute it to ignorance. s A broad-minded man reasons ap matter out and then arrives at a conclusion, but he also under stands that there are two sides to every question, and that oth- ir ers have the right to reach a t conclusion from the other side of the question. t t A few days ago a friend o ours met us on the street and, with t. apparent seriousness, reproved i us for taking a political stand ti which he was opposed to. mWhy," said he, "I have al- o ways been your political friend b and we have always agreed, but your editorial expressions of late f show plainly that you are in re- : bellion against our leader, Ben a Tillman, and any man who does u not submit to whatever Tillman says is no Democrat and he and t I part right there." a p Our friend went on and said t that he had every confidence in a Tillman, and he became so en - thusiastic that he exclaimed: "If t I were to catch Tillman stealing andehe wihas t wn-ace with1 a hepl, Ia aoltd b te Kha t. this an wih was me at sut tlstWa eletion manrin'so thcatic ws voter ofilltat mn and priaryld not pt form-s ulatey wht Rpuldiare parth a his iol.ei aenme tanu theiray thsychawnessendeasot i mapeaig the people reliet- I this as, anre counTiyand the r anymotri voter aes fre mis- rI ide reailthe obtat to hvesn r adMcLaurin vis submitaked. a The dowithiian say has viecently I been newspae dtos yer teme 1 ame wisars termwl not hv exrn toshwaurn intellien date forretion asertios an- f corret his plafom tof peraDe- j ocrat whic is any variian wit i thewspatform doted cat Kansas to uthast expanion or giving a-d stistot pmraes hnt arin t te istDemocraticterso thill Statep inhthe theriaryk a not totaorm s uWae knowhite Repblian atyat asome ofitos haenmre nder mak the eg ofa lprincpleIof thisnmntia a freillntyn goat r natiocraticbaptesm ar frae , u nevertelss they jetoin to he Teo potianllay hsayes are undemocratic andesocdotsome of or noeesapreitors, yetthes can sae oodsemcras havnotdier 1 brainrto sowis tocodinlgen to milnhr theransmstionsreet hiort e io eocat DIn j ocra Nandionanonventicn o 1or i senat exaon or givngasith Chirno the cneatan eo isntmcratic , ope conlentrop rheuitees ikena' hteratoe. ~ Did knowat tok boes a fatReatbli canme etainlyhav not oree y ofithe Tlmanno anth prniplgee-f ovment thaa sll gratJoats processiomn fto denosunce tat whic teyoai paty underake ato reas editon oTilhnna's if decat;onecs.srillamt can ning parya poiis Accodicng to dieaed wit manutagre onthe himfer hithsthe Democratic Ine Senators Jones odvisenas the~ Chairmao the Naiiationl Demo cratin a-y ieonenMconveino repuiated rTifyand utetracer.

I believe that the Sherman bill de ionitizinig silver, and thus forceing the eople of this c'ountry to pay infiated ebts with a contracted cutrrency, was great national crime: and it was nothi 2g else than a robbery of the debtor lass, to the gain of the bond-holder's d monev lenders. - W\hen the gold standard was adopted. be national. State. municipal and( rivate indebtedness of the United tates amounted to about half of the ssessed value of all prop~erty in this untry: atnd most of those debts, too. -ere- increased when everything was Sinflated values, including money. aufacture'd gLods and agricultural redcts. Those obligations were in u~red When our currency issue was ased on both gold and silver: so, hen Congr-ess demonetized silver and mde the mere precious metal the candard of values, it simply doubled a purchasing power of a dlollar' and wered the value of pierehantable I have always believed and contend a that when our law maker-s forced up the country this change of standard. at all debts should have been scaled own in pr'oportion to the increased alue given to money. But ~we must bear in mind that -hile this bill w-as a Republican mneas re it was a Democrat President (Mr. leveland) wvho forced this gold-stan-i Loo. at a time when the balance of trade was against the United States md in favor of foreign nations. The result was that we had to borrow sev nral hundred millions of dollars to naintain public credit. Like all revolutions in finances, an udoption of the single gold standard brought great suffering upon the debt -r class, and the result was ruined men ud bankrupts all over the country. While I was an earnest advocate of hi-metalism. at the same time I would enter no protest against this :hange in values. provided the general. government bore the loss, and did not force it upon the most dependent ant. appressed class of our population, the nen who incurred debts when every thing brought inflated and lictitiou; prices. This is just what England did during he reign of William and Mary, wli-n hose clipped coins were sent. to the mint and melted into full weight shill ngs. pounds and guineas. By that a :on, England gave the country a iealthy currency and maintained pub IC credit. but., at the same time, made he loss fall not upon the innocent holders of mutilated coins, but it was mrne by the government. This is just xhat. the United States should hav lone when Congress made a farmer :row two bushels of grain or twa ;ounds of cotton to pay a debt that one .ushel of grain or one pound of cotton. >r even less would have liquidated when that same debt was incurred. While the adoption of the gold stan lard in this country produced great ;utfering_ and hard-ship, happily, owing :o unforeseen circumstances it was of :omparatively short duration. The first relief was the discovery of :hose new Alaskan gold fields, and hich so rapidly filled our coffers, de leted when silver was demonetized. Next when it became a settled fact hat our money standard was irrevoca )ly fixed on the gold basis, scientists ;et to work and discovered new meth )ds for extracting the precious metal rom Mother Earth, and mines that had eretofore proved worthless yielded ich returns. The result was that so ar from any currency being contract d, there is more money per capita in irculation today than when Grover ,leveland was first elected President tnd we had bi-metalism. Of course there are, at times, a ;light contraction of money in certain ;ections, but such embarrassments are )urely local, and money can quickly be sad to ease matters on good collateral. Eundreds of new banks are organizing >ver the country every month, busi iess was never so prosperous as at this fime, and our country can look for ard, for a long time to an era of un roken prosperity. I know whereof I speak when I as sert that any man can today borrow all he money he needs or wants, if he can urnish a solvent endorser or good col ateral. Of course, some men are hard >ressed and cannot borrow money, but his is their misfortune, and not the )anker's fault. There is now no scarci ;y of money, and the only thing lack ng is collateral. The balance of trade .s most in favor of the United States, tnd instead of this country drawing on Europe for money, every ship that ands at one of our ports brings foreign told in exchange for our exports. The nited States is no longer borrowing noney from Europe, but our American >ankers, for the first time, are now naking investments in foreign coun ries and drawing dividends from the )ld World. In fact, it is reported that syndicate of New York bankers will >a off China's new debt, and thus an hor the trade of that country to the Jnited States. This will be a great hing for the Southern cotton growers tnd manufactures. Hence it will be seen that while in he treatment .of the money question >y this country a heroic remedy was ppied, the cure has been speedy and ~omplete. The demonetization of silver has roduced all the trouble it possibly can >r will produce. Those debts contracted when we had i-metalism are either long since paid, >r are barred by the statute of limita ion. The new bond issues are now aased1 on the gold standard, and nego ated at a very low rate of interest. he people of this country have accept ?d the gold standard, and all financial ransactions are made accordingly. To now change our currency value ould be to perpetrate on the creditor lass the-same wrong and outrage that as inflicted upon the debtor class. .hen silver . was demonetized. And awo wrongs will not make one right. Every intelligenz man, be he Demo ~rat or Republican, must realize the act that our currency basis is now ixed, and it could but bring disaster apon the country to again change it. I am opposed to this constant meddl ng with our money, for its basis and ralues, when once fixed, could be as rrevocable as the laws of the Medes md the Persians. The Democratic party was right in ~he tght against the demonetization of ilver, and but for the unexpected ~vents I have already mentioned, I be eve a financial panic would have eized upon our country and paralized 11 progress and advancement. But ~hances came to our rescue, and the ~ountry was not only saved, but we iave an! abundant currency, based on he highest possible standard of value, md every line of business is flourish .ng. And yet, in face of these irrefutable acts. Mr. Bryan, backed by other emocratic leaders, insists that our ~arty again make the free coinage of ilver its leading issue in the next ~ampaign. Mr. Bryan is a man of brains and liscernmnent. and he must know that it vould be worse than folly, and assured lefeat, for the Democratic party to ap eal to the intelligent voters of this ~ountry on any such dead and buried ssue as this. The people are now entirely satisfied vith their finances and will protest mgainst any change whatever. Our trade nas so expanded that all :he hoarded silver bullion in the treas ry had to be coined into money, and whatever silver this country needs for ractional currency will be sent to the nint. No nation ever had a more solid or olvent currency than the United States 2w boasts, and our money not only asses at par but often brings a prem .um, in every civilized country in the iobe. When a man receives one of Sur coins or bills, he knows he has in mis pocket one :hundr-ed cents in a lollar and which will pass anywhere vi thout question or insp~ection. Now to seek to disturb this happy tnd prosperous condition of affairs, and ear to pieces our finances, in oirder to indint- the position taken oy Mr. Bran and other free silver leaders. vo'uld be criminal folly on the part of >ur next Democratic convention. Mr. Bryan was right in his position xhen he supported bi-metalism, for at hat time the balance of trade was gainst us, a financial panic was hov ing over the country, and we were nation of debtors. But everything is lowm changed. The country ha sn afely DON'T WAIT.

Now for Mr. Bryan to seek to disturb this condition of affairs, and which would be sure to bring about confusion and chaos, would to the discerning voter. not only be a serious mistake, but wilfully wrong. No intelligent Democrat wants our currency tampered with. The voters are satisfied to let well enough alone. What the borrowing class most stands in need of is not any free silver legis lation, but collateral and upon which they can borrow all the gold, silver, or greenback they require. Now if in his discerning wisdom and statesmanship, the Hon. Win. J. Bryan can devise some plan or scheme by which ie can furnish every man with collate"al who does not possess that key to unlock the vault of our bank;,he can, on such a platform, build up a mighty party and which will sweep the country as a tidal wave. .Jeffersonian Democrat, I don't know but that I would desert my party and jump into the new collateral party band wagon. But to again grapple our party to that old Kansas City free silver corpse is an insult to the intelligence of the voters of this great nation. The Democratic party is a party of progress, and the reasonable and intelligent members in the South are getting tired, every four years, of go ing in:o battle shackled with Western populiits on one ankle and renegade Republicans, like Teller, on the other ankle. What the people want is a brand new platform and new leaders. They are willing to accept the situation and the changed condition of affairs, and make the:.r fight against the mis government and extravagancies of the Republican party. And this new movement cannot be stayed or silenced by ridicule, abuse, or calumny. It is simp~lv an issue of whether the Democratic party shall be placed, by a few old moss back leaders in the atti tude of obstruction to progress, and continue to battle for discarded issues, or shall our party accept the situation, and by the South joining hands with the progressive Democrats of the North, wrest victory from the hands of the Republicans, and make of our own "Dixie Land" one of the grandest and richest countries on earth. My next letter I will devote to dis cussing the proposition to organize two white parties in South Carolina, and think I can show that this would simply result in bringing the negroes back in politics, and thus render the suffrage clauses of our new constitution a nullity. South Carolina don't want or need but one party, the Democratic party. But we do not want our party circumscrib ed by the views of one man, but give every candidate the right to express his ideas upon the hustings, and then let the people render their virdict at the ballot box.

Editor The Manning Times: There is a fellow wrote a letter in the News and Courier and sign his~ self "C. P." that's got a level head on his shoulders. "C. P." just ain't no humbug. Now I hope "C.P." will pardon Uncle John fo:- quoting a part of his letter. I want to quote it because it's jest exactly what I think on the subject; not that I want to< take it from "C. P.," oh, no! buti maybe some of the wool hat fellows didn't see it. Well, to begin with, "C. P." hit thei nail square on the head when he says: "The farmers of this State are more interested in the cotton seed question than they are in the Till man-McLaurin wrangle, as to the purity of their Democracy and the degeneracy of their manhood. These two men, important as they may seem to be, will soon pass and be for gotten, but cotton seed is here to stay," etc. sow, Mr. Editor, if that ain't sense I don't know what sense is. Them fellows is lookin' cut for No. 1; they aint a carin' how inuch corn sells at a bashel. They are jest ai prancin' roun' tryin' to see who can count the bi'mest pile of votes. "5. P." says again, "Seed is worth as much for manure when not crush ed as when crushed. At the Missis sippi Experiment Station actual ex perience and chemical analysis dem ontrate that the raw seed fed prop erly is worth equally as much as the meal and hulls. The farmers by keeping and properly using their seed get full value." That's exactly what I've been preaching; there ain't no kind of a doubt that if you will give meal and seed the same showin', the seed will carry you further and make the best crop. As I said once before, the meal is in a fix to take effect quicker, but the same way it takes effect quicker, it will give out quicker that samse way. We don't want no man ure givin' out unless it is for tobacco. It all gives out too quick anyhow. What we want is a manure that will start with the crop and end withi frost; and cotton seed will ccome nearer doing that than any other ma nure you can put in the ground. 'C. P." says: "Let us take some re ent quotations on the products. A ton of sound cotton seed will ma.ke about 750 pounds of meal, 950 pounds of hulls, 25 pounds of dirt and lint ers and 275 pounds of oil. At pres.ent prices the product of one ton of seed will be as follows: 750 lbs.eal @.........................$ 9 37 950 lbs. hulls @................. .... .... 2 38 25 lbs. linters i@...... .................. .... 25 75 lbs. oil (37 galls.) @........ ....... 14 80 Total.. ............................u 6 8 ~sow, o'ne-third of that amouni., or 88.93, would be a large compensation for the oil mill and would leave SI17.87 for the farmer's ton of seed, which is equal to about 27 cents a bushel. The mill men will say that is too much to give for seed. But consider: howv it works: When the farmer buys in the shape of fertilizer he will pay 4 the mnanufacturer $15.93 for the ami monia in one ton of seed. Besides this he will pay from $4 to S6 for the potash and phosphoric acid in a ton.

Even a close-fisted, hard-hearted, tight-squeezin'. double-j'inted lien Merchant wouldn't take a farmer's seed 'way from him, because he'd be Stavin' in his own light to do it. Well now fellows, after the man that runs you furnishes you some thing to eat and wear while you are makin' the crop, is good enough to let you keep your cotton seed, and he just does it because he wants to help you make another crop. don't be guber-headed enough to sell 'em ';o them trus' fellers for little or noth :ng, jest because they come shakin' a bag of money at you. Ain't it won derful what a man with a bag of money can, will and is doin'? Mr. Editor, I wish some of your writin' fellers would take that for a tex': "What can a bag of money do?" Crops are doin' very well right now, and specially the grass crop. Cotton has improved some, but I'm afraid it's too late for what's on it to mature. The cotton crop is goin' to be short. Corn is goin' to be short, and we can't tell yet whether the 'tater crop is short or not. But ther's one crop we know ain't short, and that's the hay crop. So now Wool-hatters, if you got a grass blade sharpen it good. If you ain't got no grass blade, take your comon ole weedin' hoes and sharpen 'em up, and when the time comes, and it's most here, get in the grass patch and get to work. Don't cut a little bit and stop, but cut like you never have cut before, for shure as you're livin' you're goin' to need it, and if you don't need it for your own use it will demand a good price next spring and summer, so make hay while the sun shines.
