To tho voters of South Carolina :
Tho closing years of tho nine
teenth century seem destined to bo
tho most fateful of our country's
history, wo might say of the world,
for the lowly and oppressed in every
hitit j] have their eye fixed on Amer
ica as tho battle ground whoro the
last great fight for human liberty
is to take placo. Fearful forces of
antagonistic cloments aro being
cen to rod hero ; hut a just God has
never yet mocked an individual or
a nation by imposing a task that
cannot bo performed if met iii a
proper spirit.
Tho old time, n ?col y-balan eccl
relations, and well-nigh even
strength, that once existed bctwoon
labor and capital are no more, for
while one has shrunkto a pigmy,
tho other has grown to a gidnt.
Wlien autocratic kings granted
monopolio? to their favorites it
taxed their despotic authority to
tho utmost to defend them against
tho competition of surreptitious
traders. While under our new
commercial regime mighty monop
olies aro evented thal nut only crush
all rivalry with case, but dominate
tho government, where their sol
fish in te ros ts aro concerned.
Tho curse of our land is partisan
politics. It is time for us to vote
tor pur best, interests. Tho wily
politician, by playing upon sec
tional and raco prejudice, keeps
thc solid North and tho solid South.
10 vc ry year in Congress tho battles
of tho war aro fought, over and over,
while issues of tho utmost impor
tance to tho welfare of our people
aro ovorlooked or lightly dealt
with, Wo cannot long romain in
different to the conditions that
confront us. Tho volume of monoy,
hasjeen contracted until business
.ia ^ifvVy/.cd -and tho pvicc of tho^
products of labor has been reduced
below tho cost of production. The ,
conspiracy of fouigu cnpiti?'iats to \
control American labor hy controll
ing, tho valumo of money has been
successful. Corporations, wielding
tho'power of aggregated capital,
control tho government and so di
rect our finances that all save a
bare existence is denied tho pro
ducers of wealth. Both Demo
cratic and Republican parties, na
tionally, are controlled by tho same
influence. Tho judiciary has be
come tho bulwark of this formidable
and growing power which, unless
checked, will bo the destruction of
tho democratic principle in govern
ment.
Thomas Carlyle said many years
ago -that we would have our period
of trial "when health is intact,
crops abundant and tho magnifi
cent land open. Then so-called
statesmen will cry overproduction ;
and then tho man of tho ballot, the
self-reliant, tho self-pliant, will go
to the bill lot box, amidst hunger
and destitution, (but surrounded
by the glitter of self-rule) and rat
ify by his ballot tho monstrous
falsehood uttered by mis-stntosmen,
and Vind?cate by tho samo ballot
the infamous lie thrown upon tho
breezes by a senile editor through
a corrupt pres9, thus bringing ruin
upon his country and serfdom upon
himself."
This period is upon us, Reform
?is of South Carolina. Will wo
.ratify by our ballots a system that
we know to bo wrong and that is
bringing ruin upon our country
and serfdom upon us and our chil
dren? Lot us filo our protost in
thc sacred form of a freeman's bal
lot.
Our demands havo been either
ignored or shamelessly trifled with
by both Partios, The fate of tho
silver bill in a Democratic llotiso
is tho last act of treachery.
Tho day for sentimental politics
is past. Sontimontal politics has
cost this country rivera of blood
and billions of troaaure. Tho sen
timental politician is a fraud, a
snare and a delusion. .Practical
politico and common sonso ia tho
pcoit of tho hour.
Why should wo vote for Grover
Cleveland for a mero sentiment?
Our State convention in May do?
claret! that the nomination of Gro
vor Olovoland. would bo "a prosti
tution of tho principles of Dcmoc
raoy, a repudiation of tho demands
of tho Alliance and a surroudor of
tho rights of tho peoplo to tho fi
nancial kinga of tho country."
Ho ia not tho ohoicoof our people.
Is tho party lash to be again crack
ed to force us into lino? Is senti
mental or practical politics to gov
ern ? Will wo volo for a mau
wilpee policy is totally opposed to
our host interests ?
Grover Cleveland represents
Wall street and monopolistic power
Weaver and Fiolds represent
the farmer and laborer. The prin
ciples involvod aro tho samo that
our people havo endorsed in Stato
politics, and their support is the
logical result of tho decision of the
people as expressed in tho May
convention. Wo shall abide tho
verdict of tho peoplo as expressed
in tho recont primary upon State
issues and Congressional candi
dates and will givo tho nominees
our cordial support, but wo aro in
no manner bound by that action
to violate our obligation to ouly
support men who aro in favor of
our demanda.
Citizens, farmers, laborers, breth
ren ; Yo who live by tho swoat o?
honest toil ; think well, cast your
boll?te, freighted with tho destitu?e
of nations yet unborn, for tho man
of your choice. Let the politicians
anti fi plutocratic press rave, but
carefully consider the question and
vote for tho ticket which beat rep
resenta your intoreats. Thia is due
to your God, your country, youi
children.
Be not di8COiiraged by the ap
parent defeat of tho peoplo'e cause
in recont elections, as it is wei
known that our political enemies
having tho election machinery ir
their hands, encouraged tho vilesi
corruption at the ballot box to do
feat the principles wo advocate
Tho naruw i h at. wo. maintain . livoi
in tho hearts of tho toiling million
and when wo force from our adver
sarics a free ballot and a fair coun
victory will perch upon tho ban
ner of "Equal rights to all an<
special privileges to nono."

DETROIT, October 12.-"Columbus
was a liar,'* said Albion W. Tourgco in
a lecture before 3,000 people assembled
in the Auditorium to celebrate tho dis
covery of America. Nor was tim the
most surprising sontouco in tho hitter
invectivo Tourgco delivered against tho
navigator. Every act of his lifo was
one of egotism, he said, aud intended
to satisfy his greed of gain and fame.
Everything he sailed on was wrong
and ho discovered America because ho
was lost und could not do otherwise.
I His every act was one of selfishness
and ho stolo tho credit of first seeing
laud from his faithful sailor who was
on watoh. Ile kopt two logs in order
to deceive bin crew. He was lavish in
promises ho nevor expected to keep,
prayers always concerned himself. His
parents were thriftless, and are known
to history only through tho ovidonccs
of indebtedness they left. Ho was,prob
ably a Mediterranean pirato in his
early days, and not a singlo act of his
life up to tho timo he was 60 years old
was worthy of recording. These aro
only samples ot Mr. Tourgeo's conclu
sions concerning Columbus. Tho peo
ple who heard him woro nonplussed.
Tho sentiments aro those which ho has
ora bodied in his now book. This lect
ure and an Italian parado constituted
tho day's celebration.
