THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE WAS BOUGHTIt
WITH BLOOD AND HENCE IT IS A GOD
GIVEN RIGHT THAT ALL SHOULD
RESPECT.
There are some individuals'
who regard the privilege of suf
frage a license to demand of c
others that they should come to t
them for a decision as to how to
exercise their suffrage. 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

S vot's are cast as Senator,

this, it is no reflection on his

s that after a party has gone
0 the people with it's platform
nd they refuse to accept it, the
rise course to pursue is to dis

ormulate something that will

iht in politics as well as in

The fundamental principles of
iouth Carolina's Democracy is
free and open discussion of
ublic questions before the Dem
cratic voters, and as long as the
ontrolling influences in the par
-, will permit the primaries to
e open and free as they have
een ever since their institution,
here is no danger of a white
republican party, and the peo
le will be the judges of men
nd measures, but if a few poli
cans are to be allowed to as
emble themselves under the
retense of doing one thing to do
nother, and then they under
ike to prevent the free and op
n discussion of public questions,
will be proof conclusive that
he politicians will not trust the
eople, and a new party will be
he result of such tyranny.
Let us all be liberal in our
iews, there is no necessity to
npugn one another's motives;
hose who do not approve of
IcLaurin should give expression
f that disaproval at the ballot
ox without getting angry.
The editor of the TIMES So
ir as he understands Mc
aurin's position, approves of it,
nd will- continue that approval
ntil by reasoning and argu
ient it is shown to be detrimen
il to the people's interests. We
re not going to be driven from
ur position by abuse, assertion,
r vituperation, but we will
lake a fight for our views until

mbled speaks; when it speaks,
he question is settled, and we
ill bow to it's decision, but we

arty discipline requires it, and

I believe that the Sherman bill de

eople of this c'ountry to pay infiated
ebts with a contracted cutrrency, was

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

lollar and which will pass anywhere

Now to seek to disturb this happy
tnd prosperous condition of affairs, and

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

weathered the financial storm, money, I
in unlimited amounts, can be had on
good collateral, and our country is in a :
more prosperous condition than ever
before in its history. 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.

"Slab's" Ruminations.
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.
When the farmer sells his seed to the
mill at $10 to $14 a ton and buys from
the manufacturer the plant food in

Slam, go bang! There you get it.
That's the milk in the cocoanut. We
ain't got to sell our seed. We're
standin' in our own light to sell 'em.
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.
Yours truly,

without relief, then called in another doctor
who treated him for some days and gave him no
relief. so discharged him. I went over to see
him the next morning. He said his bowels were
in a terrible fix. that they had been running off
so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked
him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I
went home and brought nim my bottle and gave
him one dose: told him to take another dose in
ifteen or twenty minutes if he did not find re
ief, but he took no more and was entirely
cured." For sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug
