A STRUGGLE FOR RIGHTJ
1 REAL MEANING OF PROGRESS1VEISM
IN POLITICS.
iv True Politician is He Who Seeks the
Advancement of His Fellows,
as Rather Than Himself.
v.
Leaving all politics out of the question,
easily the most striking development
at Filbert last Friday, was in
at that portion of Senator McLaurin's
e- address which undertook to explain
ftio eicnifinonrto nf PrnuTOCcivpnoec ir?
| ui^ CibUiUtUUVV Wi. A. * ^ - ^i.
st politics. The speech was remarkable
e, in that it was different from anything
of a political nature that has been
Q- previously heard from a South Carow
lina rostrum. Here is what the
speaker had to say on the subject:
Fellow Citizens:
I am not here to talk politics
further than what is in accord with
the relation which every good citizen
IS
. ^ bears to his fellow man. Nor am I
1S here, (as often heralded.) as the
evangel of a new dispensation, either
s~ religious or political.
in I want to talk about cotton, for I
have an extract from the New York
V. World, showing how Congressmen
to Ragsdale and Henry of Texas, have
the new currency bill held up. trying
a- to amend it. so as to embrace every
to principle contained in the warehouse
bill, which is now on the calendar of
ie the state senate. They are having a
rs hard fight against intrenched privilege,
but sooner or later, the volume
of monev must be made to bear its
ie
true relation to the products for exw
change.
It has become a common thing to
^^ ?? U AO 1 1 /\/l nrvAn
sxietl" ct i men vv uu icci tancu uyuu. iu
s' follow a public career as "politicians."
The word has come to mean
d to thousands, a low, dirty intriguer
a with no ambition save the promotion
of his personal interests. The only
is statesmen are dead politicians. As
1- long as one is alive he is surrounded
by the fires of hate and suspicion?a
r center for the attack of harpies, who
k care nothing for the welfare of the
people they pretend to serve. So
many men have small ability coupled
e
^ with vaulting ambition: these can
protect nothing, and only rise by pulling
others down, and pointing out
)_ the defects of any plan that does not
5~ include the promotion of their ambition.
A gang of wolves, when one of
,r~ their number is wounded, always
stops long enough to devour their
1, brother, then give tongue in pursuit
y of fresh prey. These men are not
i. politicians, they are human wolves,
c] ever crouching in terror at the feet
n of power, but ready at any moment
> to turn and drink the heart blood,
while licking the hand of the master.
r The true politician is called of God,
' as much as he who expounds His holy
>1
word: he battles for his fellow man
through good and evil report; he suf- <
^ ~ ^ "U ^ ? vrnnT- aP trif nrvnr_
ItJIS Lilt SlIULgS <3.iiU anuno yjL uvui/tiation;
if in human weakness he fal0
ters and mistakes the road he hears
,v '
through the dark hours the voice calling
and rises, girds up his loins and ,
;r presses on; he bears with patience
lt and forgiveness the doubt and suse
picion of those for whom he would
gladly give his life, and like the Man
t- of God, he has no reward except in
>- the next world. "Well done, thou
n good and faithful servant." You old- ;
er men know the conditions that exd
isted twenty years ago, and all of ,
r you know them as they exist today,
o There have been tremendous changes
for the better. How have they been
? brought about? By men who fought ,
e error in spite of popular clamor, who
0 pointed out the way of progress, with
no thought of its effect on personal
f or political fortunes.
You remember that greatest of all (
^ popular movements the Farmers
Alliance, with its hated and despised
sub-treasury plank. Today a presi- ,
' dent and congress is trying to devise
1 a currency reform based upon this ,
' very principle. A government com;
mission is travelling Europe, study
" 111?> tliC Ui aglRUHUiUi \,a.v/viavw
>t abroad, and that all the sub-treasury
y meant with a view of making the
products of the farm a basis of credit.
Every one of the great leaders of
>f the Alliance went down under the
v load of abuse, many of them broken
g hearted. Yet today the speeches of
e Peffer, Polk, Tom Watson and "Sockless"
Jerry Simpson, read like pror
phecies. Their work was not in vain,
^ even though others reap where they
sowed. We older men remember j
k how sweet those doctrines sounded
L_ and how just and right. ;
You remember how the entire rep11
resentation in congress from South
Carolina, on all financial questions,
were pledged to stand by these demands
and not the caucus of a politi- ,
>f c-al party. The Democratic party at
i. that time, dominated by Wall street
e interests, went completely to pieces. ,
*s then after years of struggle, in the
i, last election the Republican party
o went to pieces, and the Democratic
it party went into power with Bryan
o and Wilson, as the culmination of
a the great up-lieavel set in motion
>r twenty-five years ago by the farmers
5- of the west and the south. You were
told then that no matter how it re
J
suited, you would never be benefit-1
ted, but this is not true. Let me j
ask you older men, who remember
the beginning of this fight, to note
the prosperous, contented and well
to do appearance of the people who j
make up this great audience, then
look back and contrast this crowd,
with the anxious faces, and the generally
poverty stricken appearance
in the campaigns about IS90. They
told you then that the practical realization
of that revolution meant ruin
to all. I ask you today, who has been
hurt?
Such prosperity as has come to the
farmers of the west and south, has
been shared by all other classes of
inH T want tn tpll vnn. that
?111U * ?> v v w vw?. k ^ y
this is only the beginning, for if we
continue steadfast and faithful the
rewards for productive labor are
greater than any yet received. Those
who clothe and feed this world are
entitled to the greater share of its
comforts and luxuries, and they receive
less.
It is a common thing to hear this
man or that lay claim to being, the
discoverer of progressive principles,
but I want to say to you my friends,
that progressive principles are as old
as the history of man. You will
find the fundamentals laid down in
the book of Genesis. If you will read
your Bible and then profane history,
you will see that the question
through all the ages has been the vain
and ruinous struggle of man made
government to supersede and overthrow
the government framed and
perfected by Almighty God.
The difference between these contending
ideas has overthrown empires
and built civilization. Man made government
has ever been arrogant, selfish
and cruel, while the theocracy
which God established for Israel is
the perfection of charity and justice,
contributing to the peace, comfort
and happiness of each individual in
exact proportion to his or her capacity
for enjoyment. The only perfect
government that the world has ever
seen was established by God four
thousand years ago, its force and
power is evidenced by the fact, that
the Hebrews, though scattered for
2,000 years over all the world, are 1
as distinctly a nation today as they ;
were then. On the other hand every
strictly man made government that
has ever existed has been based upon
the idea of the domination of the few <
over the many. They have either. 1
fallen into decay and perished, or 1
saved themselves, as we are doing, by ,
the gradual adoption of the cardinal ;
principles of the old Israelitish theocracy.
And I am here to tell you
that what we call "Progressiveism"in
American politics, elected Woodrow
Wilson president, and is nothing
more or less than a revolt against
selfish man made government, back
to original principles as comprehended
in our Declaration of Independence.
The American revolution was the
grandest and most important event in
the world's history since the birth of
Christ, and on yonder little mountain,
only ten miles from here, your forefathers
fought the battle, which'made
that revolution an actual realty. That
battle was for God and right; but
you and I know that after it was won,
ourleaderscould not resist the subtle
temptation of ambition, and set up
anew, the old principles of privileges
for the destruction of which our fathers
have poured out their blood. But
the eternal principle which God had
laid down at the beginning, was defi- I
nitely and finally unshackled, and today
we can see that the world is coming
more and more under its domination.
Every intelligent man has noted
within the past few years the mighty
crystalization of this sentiment. What
a similarity there is between the
Roosevelt-Taft split in the Republican
party, with the split of the gold
wing of the Democracy under Palmer
and Bucker, against the Progressives
of years ago. This means that the
Progressives in both old parties are
in a majority and will control the
Hpstinv nf this countrv. no matter I
I
which party is in power. I have often
asked myself the question, "Why
this change of sentiment?" I have
heard it explained in many ways,
but none of them are satisfactory
to me. I will tell you what I think
about it. After the revolution the
people were ignorant, education was
confined to the few. The leaders
would shout, "Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none," and then
go in foregathering for themselves
all the special privileges to be had.
But about seventy years ^ago the
common school idea began to find its
birth in a modest way.
Then out of the travail and sorrow
nf n r-ivil war the slave owning caste '
was destroyed, and a new era dawned, j
Privilege and wealth began to be taxed,
and servitude and poverty taught;
in the schools. That all men are born i
free, entitled to the same opportuni- i
ties and that privilege is a matter of !
worth, not birth. A great and eternal
truth is about to become in this nation
a grand and glorious fact.
But my friends. I have not come i
here to talk about the past, it is of
the future and the opportunity now
open to the south of utilfzing her
cotton crop to become the dominant
factor in the financial world. I would
not have you think that I regard the
question as one of mere money, but I !
recognize the fact, that with wealth
goes intelligence, culture and an ever |
advancing civilization.
Here the senator gave a full exposi- i
tion of his well known views of state j
owned and operated warehouses for j
agricultural products. In the course j
of his remarks, he referred with ap-1
proval to an editorial in the News i
and Courier on the subject of the
proposed 350 tax on contracts for
future delivery, saying if it was paid,
it would come out of the cotton grower,
as every expense from the ginhouse
to the factory was deducted
from the price paid the planter. The
way to do was to give cotton a stable
price like the coffee growers of Brazil
did. then there would be no bulls
and bears, and the exchanges would
serve their legitimate purpose as the j
coffee exchanges are now doing all j
over the world. If you get a doctor 1
who can't diagnose the case, he is
apt to give you the wrong medicine
and kill you.
START YOUR LIVER,
DOX'T STOP WORK. ;
I
Dodson's Liver Tone Acts Mildly, but:
Surely. Livens Up the Liver
and You Stay On
Your Feet.
It is the experience of calomel users
that if they take enough of the drug j
to have the desired effect, it serious-1
ly interferes with their work the day '
after. But this is the least important j
item, for calomel is often a danger-'
ous drug and acts on the system i
violently.
Don't take chances with calomel.
Get a bottle of the pleasant, safe apd
perfectly harmless Dodson's Liver
Tone, guaranteed to take the place of j
calomel. Instead of making you feel i
worse?and you actually are better, i
for no remedy in the whole world j
livens up the liver, regulates the bow- j
els and really rejuvenates the system :
any better than this dose.
You are the sole judge of its;!
merits. The Peoples Drug Store is
fully authorized to hand back your
money without question if it fails to
please you?and relieve you.
Remember, if you feel constipated
and bilious, what you need is Dodson's
Liver Tone. A large bottle and
a good guarantee for 50 cents from
The Peoples Drug Store.
CARD OF THANKS.
We take this means of thanking
our many friends for their ^manv acts
of kindness, gifts, and general love
and esteem shown us since our total
loss of all our worldly goods by fire,
on Thursday last. May God pour His
richest blessings on you.
Mr. and Mrs. Dewitt and Family.

And Many Are the Voices of Bamberg
People.
Thirty thousand voices?What a
grand chorus! And that's the number
of American men and women who
are publicly praising Doan's Kidney
Pills for relief from backache, kidney
and bladder ills. They say it to ?
friends. They tell it in the home papers.
Bamberg people are in this
<horus. Here's a Bamberg case. 1
Mrs. R. A. Delk, E. Church St., Bamberg,
S. C., says: "I have been greatly j
benefited by Doan's Kidney Pills,
which I procured from the People's
Drug Store. I took them for backache
and pains in my loins and they also ( '
removed trouble that existed with my 1
kidneys." '
The above statement must carry
conviction to the mind of every |
reader. Don't simply ask for a kid- j
ney remedy?ask distinctly for Doan's
Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Delk i
had?the Temedy hacked by home testimony.
