ported by the general Government, at a
cost last year of $6$0,,r>00.

A novel plan is heir# operated in the
Dakotas. Each sub- Alliance is asked to
| prepare and seed a certain number of
acres of land to wheat. This is to be ;in
i offering for the spread of Aliionc? princi
ples, by selling the whe it a' d expend
! ing the proceeds for that Object. It is
1 Mid that hundreds. of arres will be used
? in that manuer, and great -good is expect
ed from the expei iment. H'iich methods
j disclose an earnestness that should know
i neitht-r opposition nor discouragement,
and should lead a nation or a people out
of the ?lark shadows of difctiess into the
? brigttt sunshine of prosperity!

The Alliance Farmer, (Homer, La.>,
says: ' The President's salary is #~?0. -
000 a year. Twenty tears ago 30.000
bushels of wheat would have paid it ;
now it takes more than 60, $00 bushels.
Twenty years ag>> 500 bales of cotton
woold have paid it; now it Uke3 1.703
bale* to get $>0,000. The anuual salary
! of -Congressmen is $5,000 Twenty
y?ars ag<> 50 bales of cotton would have
pai< I it; now it will take about 177 bahs,
and yet Congress seems resolved to re
duce the currency, demonetize silver, and-^
k?:ep up the salaries This is is a very
hopeful view of the promised reform, nnd
a desire that justice be dono the people
is conspicuously prominent in Congres
j sional movements."

farmer lad can discuss economical j
questions with senators and re present a- I

better ^sted an<i more capable of at- I
tainibg practical results thaii are their I
congressmen. The politician! that now
counts on fooling the people, at least the.
Alliance portion of the. people, reckons
without his host. All anoe men, br>ys '
and women, too, have cut their wisdom i
teeth. *
'
The Alliance demands are on the riglu
side of every g:eat quc.-tion DOw forg?m?

anyone suppose "*^c would beany stir in

Rordbaux, France, Oct. 13, 01.
Mr. II . L. Dsiri'j :
Dear .Sir:? In reply to \ our letter ol ;
enquiry, will say the Bank of France has
almost since its establishment, eaiiyiri
the present century, loaned money on :
not perishable products, such as wheat, !
| coin, wioe, spirits, metals, cte., provided ;
su< h securities wire deposited in reliable
warehouse', or warehouses designated by
the directors of the Bank of France, j
Receipts were of cm r e taken for the j
same, and these become negotiable just j
as are warehouse receipts in Ameii; a.
The amoiin's loa.ied upon products of
tyis deM ription was usually equal to !
about two thirds of its appraised value j
and the rate of interest charged for the
loan was 3 per cent. The .same ?ate is I
applicab'e at the preseut time.

PLOT TO KILL THE KING OF SPAIN.
Munoz the Dominating Spirit in This
and the Plot to Blow Up the
Hall of Congress.
Madrid, Spain, [Cablegram.]? Public
excitement on the subject of anarchist
plots has been renewed by the report
that "i the anarchist, \ Phillip Munoz,
has confessed to a plot kill the king of
Spain, who will be six ""years old on the
17th of next month. Munoz was former
ly a sergeant of artillery, who ha * been
living abroad and in concealment iu Spain
since he took an active put in the rebel
lion in Madrid in September, 1836.
Delboche, the Frenchmau arrested for the
attempt to blow up the chamber of dep
uties, said that Munoz led them on to
make the attempt against Congress, and
? provided them with bombs which, they
say, he hfcndcd them in a 6treet a few
yards from Cou^reishall. Delboche stated
that Munoz lived in Calle Clavel, Madrid,
and had besides another domicile where
his mistress lived. The police succeed
ed in arresting Munoz, who lias under
gone a rigorous examina inn. The con
fession attributed to him is that at a meet
ing of anarchists it was determined tokiV
the king, and that lots were cast as to who
should kill him. The confession does
not state upon whom the lot fell, but it is
bebeved that Munoz himself was the
probable man. There is no doubt that
he was the leading spirit in the plot.
Delboche and Ferreira, the two conspira
tors who were arrested with bombs in- i
tended to blow up the dumber of depu- '
ties, pretended that they were dominated
by Munoz.

pifllsure of addressing an audience of my
fellow citizens on this spot I appeared as
the man put forward by the masses of
the l>eople to lead the
tight for .Teffersoniau iXnaocraty. [A
voice: "You've got it.''] I.y^ank you
on this first opportunity 1 have had for
the gallaut manner in which you sup
ported me both in the Democratic con
vention and at tlu election in Noveml>er.
For eighteen months Ii have been Gov

voice : "Tell us about that free pits "]
Now, my fellow citizens, what w?re the
issues in 1800? They were whether the
people of South Carolina should govern
or whether a ring should govern. [Cheers
and "Hurrah for the Blinker."] It is
true thai we have ariug now, but a band
is all arouud the ring, (laughter and ap

the old ring ? a ting like a joint snake

what are the issues to-day? I a* a few

is whether the people of South'Oaroliua

bound so we had to submit without drsx.

the people of open and free discussion
on which they could deeide Intelligently

But my friends, my trmrrr^tt*iarly out,
but I will have something to say aj^uiu to
the opposition who have put up two^bs-'
tinguished lawyers to prosecute the eausfes
of the people? that is, the ring, against
B. U. Tillman. You are here as the jury.
I say ir, Uit not with egotism, that but
for me you never would have had the op
portunity yf hearing candidates discuss

I am very much gratified to be per

interests of the Farmers' ""Movement.
Whilst not the author or lather of the
movement I can prove by all the goo?\
citizens of my county, and if you are not
satisfied with that, by Governor Tillman
that I have been the friend of the Fann

Sheppard ? Yes ^Turning to Tillmau:)
Didn't [^..Goremor?
Tillman"? Yes, they dou't breed any
rats, but Democratic cats iu Edge

Sheppard? Another reason why we
oppose Tillman is that he has tried to
increase the poll tax to$:i. That would
give more money to send the uegro ehil
dren to school. It is not right to tax
the prx>r man the same as the rich. The
Far huts' Alliance has the proper basis
for taxation - a-tax on income.

and stavuO money enough to attend Fur

Tl?' interruption here l)ecamc so great
that (Vnr Gray had to again request the
audience to maintain their order.
I will read you soruethiug from an ar
ticle Governor Tillman wrote and pub
lished in tint Columbia Register, as fol
lows: ' ,
The purdiasiug power of money is
much greater than it was ten. years ago.
The tax-paying power ftas not iucrc!j$ed
at all, while the prioe of our main moafry
crop, cotton, has hovertd very near the
cost of production. ' The reduction of
expenditures, when possible, must then
appeal to the common fcuse as well as
the pockets of our people, and no good
reason can be fiven why salaries in our
State should l>e tixed higher than iu
North Carolina and Georgia, both larger
and wealthier States. We invite the
careful attention of taxpayers to the fol
lowing figures, taken fit>m the comp
troller's repbrts of the three States:"
Here are his figures for South Carolina
for 1886: i 1886.

A voice? Don't miss the cow scrape.
Sheppard -That's* small matter. The
cow question is uothing in coniparision to
those great questions of expenditures.
In li>91 Governor Tillman's depart
ment ex pended $0,000 more than 'the
previous Government, and Governor
'Tillman's talk about economy liel i>eii to
inflame the minds of the people with
those chargts of extravagance. The tax
books will show that the Government is
more extmvegant now than it ever was.
You are all taxpayers, and want good
Government and every dollar jou pay
is that nineh oil your children's backs
aud out of your children's mouths.
Where, then, are bis promises of re
form?
A. voice? Is Tillman the Legis'ature
ami Governor too?
Sheppard ? Undoubtedly, the Legisla
ture makes all the appropriations, but
according t-D the requirements of the
different departments of the Govern
ment. If the Governor claims the credit
for the reforms the Legislature accom
plished. how can he escape condemna
tion for its short-comings?
A voice- Are you the president of a
bank (
Sheppard ? I am, and there arc thou
sands of poor farmers who in November
last thanked God that I was, Ucauie
w hen their crops were short and prices
small 1 tided them over during the win*
trr, and 1 didn't sell a mule or a co\^
or anything that the fanners hold. Thoir
1 sands of jKH.ir people whose farms I rati
by the m ana of the power I had in the

otherwise. I see I am treading ou your j
too, boys, pretty heavy. ^
In my friend's owu township*, w here
he was iiorn, he got only cighttjuore
votes than 1, and I will l>cat him in No
vember as sure as the lord made Moses.
For twenty minutes succeeding this re
mark there was confusion worse con
founded. Senator Donaldson was called
upon to quell the disorder but was un
a'-le to do so. Scores of Tillman's fol
lowers shouted like madmen and hooted
down everything that was said.
Some onu in t lie crowd making a re
mark about bank president*. Governor
Sheppard sa d: When you strike mc on
the bank question ask the farmers 'of
Edgefield a Ixnit it. (Voire: They don't
do the same way here, though.) 1 am
not responsible for anybody else. 1 have
never had a more uproarious time even
when 1 fought Chamberlain on the bust

established the farmers paid to P)

it. and theySason you haven't got it i*
because Tillman vetoed it. llis reason
was that tflrc election v?as given to the
Legislature instead of to the people, and
yet in his inaugural addresy ho said he
was in favor of such a law. They took
him at his word aud Tillman Vetoed the
bill. At ll>e next session of the fxgitla
ture this same "driftwood" House passed
a rail road bill. It went to the donate,
and would have gone through but for an
amendment introduced by Keitt, giviog
tlie appointment of commissioner* to%
Tillman If Tillman h id asked him to
withdraw that amendment* he would
have done it, and I hold him responsible
because we haven't got a railroad law
that will regulate the railroad. \
Tillman went all through this country^
criticisng the men in ofllce for riding on

with an express frank. He had no right to

<J0V. TILLM AN S CLOSING SI' KECK.
Sheppard has alluded to the/armer's
movement, j Well. I tell you Ityt in I88d
in convention I voted for SHEppard for
Governor a&d tried to elect him. Why?
First, because at that time I kne^t none
of the public men of the State; and sec
ond, because we had lieen schoolmates
and were then and are now personal
friends. Thene were them three candi
dates in the field? Senator Coker of Dar
lington, John Peter Richardson and
Sheppard, iho had received the office at
the kands of Hugh 8. Thompson. The
>uovement then had two principal de
mands ? tin! reorganization of the agri
cultural bureau and the establishment o(
"an agricultural college. Now let us ice
what they have done Vith our platform.
The speaker here compared the , two
platforms and made points that the Thir
teen had omitted the demands for taiU
road control and a constitutional coq??
tion. He then denied the charges qj f ex
travagance, lalluding to the building oC
the inauguration platform, which be said
was suggested by the committees oLihe
House and Senate . lie then acknow
ledged that hu had alluded to some of
the legislators as driftwood, and showed
that the failure to carry out economies
was not dud to his ,want of suggestion,
but the blocking of legislation in Uie Leg
islature. lie quoted from his iuaugurai
aud from his Kpceches to show that be
had l>ccn consistently in favor of reform.
He denied that he had acted as a dicta
tor, but contended that he had cariftft
out his pledges aud that the Legi^atur^
had failed ti> carry out theirs. |
As a part of the argument here he
quoted extensively from the l>arty plat
form, stating in what rcspects he had en
deavored to carry out his declaration.
He also entered into an elaborate discus
sion of the (jauses which led to the defeat,
of several of his measures, and especStf^
the railroad bill, the Sheriff bill, and
others. He! then replied to some of the
statements that hu lost ground iu the*
State
I have Ixxju at home but; seldom, be
cause I have, stayed in Colunjna attend
iug to your business; but I wfll gay that
I will go home, make three spoechcfl, and
if I (lin't beat him in the primaries I will
withdraw from the race. -Governor
Sheppard, will you say as much? I have,
gone, my friends, through' h? 1 to get *
this office, and I have been told that no
other man could have led the movement
to success. iSinec my election I have
discharged oiy duty as faithfully as I,
knew, and I am now asking this people
whether thej think I have done it or not.
I made a living before I got into the
Governor's ollice. and whenever the ma
jority of the people say "we don't want
you any longer}" I will retire without ?'
murmur, j j.
Tlie Governor recurred to his nofeftion
as defined in| his inaugural on tne tbree
dollar poll tax, giving his reason for tHe
recommendation.
I say to you here uovjr as a loyal Demo
crat, as a loyal Allitinceman. as a; loyal
farmers' movjeinent man, that lam bound
by the rule of the majority and that If a
majority of the people want these de
mands I shall not attempt to dictate to
you. (Prolonged cheering any) applause.]
I have l>een accused of trying ,to dic
tate to the Alliance, but I have givefl
you my reason! for rnv opinion and u?y
position. I am on record as opposed to
the sub treasury, and I am opposed to it
no**, but tin* rule in the Alliance
and of the Democracy is to abide the will
of the majority, and I am not going to
tight my brethren.
1 want to sty to you- that we have l>ut
I one party in South Carolina, the Demo

unity if these gentlemen will let uh. Jf
we are beatcu in this fight we wid not do
as the Haskeilius did, get out of the
party and bolt. We have control of the
Democratic party. We can euunchte
any platform that we please, and on th t
