Januai-y 20. 1891 APROPos of the Senatorial debate on the force bill we' suggest that each Democratic Senator procure a phono graph, and after speaking his speech into it, take it in the Senate chamber and grind it off as many times as may be needed to kill time. As the Repub lican Senators all go into the cloak rooms and sleep, they would never know the difference, and Democratic throats would secure a needed rest. IT is now certain that Senator Vance will be re-elected to the United States Senate. Among his other accomplish ments Gov. Vance seems to be a prac tical politiciav. He was among the firrt to attack the financial policy of the Alliance, but it seems that now the Alliance has captured the North Caro lina Legislature he is willing to vote as he is told, provided he is allowed to remain in office. Are Alliance princi pIes safe in his hands? The Ealroader. The voters of the county are called upon to decide whether the eounty shall subscribe $100,000 each to assist in building two railroads through the county. It is impossible to say just where these lines of road will run. The general direction of the Cape Fear and Cincinnati is from Camden to Winnsboro and on to Union. The W. W. & C. will run in the general direction from Rocky Mount to Alston. It is impossible to tell whose planta tion will be touched. The question of Toting subscriptions to those roads is a business matter, cold business. Will the two roads benefit the county enough to repay the outlay ? We do not think anybody will question the statement that many sections of the county, now almost valueless, will be developed, and that there will be a general rise in values. Railroads cer tainly develop a country, and one thing greatly needed in this connty is to to bring this about than anything else. Gevernor Ilampton. In the course of his remarks on the force bill in the U. S. Senate Senator Hampton said that his long public ser vice would soon close forever; that he had never sought office but had always gladly given his time and whatever ability he possessed to his country. In the long list of distinguished sons of South Carolina no one has conitrib uted more to the proud history of tho - State than Bampton, in fact, it may be said that his life has beeni sent in the public service. As a young man he represented hia native county in the State Legislature, both in the House and Senate. WVhen the stare with drew from the. Union Wade Hampton was among the first to volunteer in her defence and continued to battie for her rights until Lee surrendered. During the war he rendered most dis tinguished service and rose to the r ank of Lieutenant-General. In the wearv days of reconstruction Gen. Hamp ton's voice was raised in protest again'st the great iniquities perpetrated upon his people by the powers at Washing ton. In 1876 he was called from his plantation in Mississippi by the white people of South Carolina to lead them out of their political bondage and that that revolution was successful is due more to the conservative wisdom and coarage of its leader than anyithing else. Hampton was the only man in the State in whom were combined the element s which made success possible. In the National Senate he has served twelve years which have been distin guished by sound liberal statesman s hip. In retiring to the private walks of life Senator Hampton shall carry with him the consciousness of having been true to his people and true to himself. It is admitted by those who compassed his defeat that he would have been re eleded had he followed the methods of practical and personal politicians. But 11ampton is a statesman not a politician, and there are thousands of voters in South Carolina anxions for an olpportunity to show the bat:h scarred warrior and statesman that they prefe:- statesmanship to partisan politics. Their love and confidence shall remain with him in his retire ment. For Over Fifty Yeitrs )IRs.

Jf The bill for the free coinagea s - ver, which has passed the Senate and of goes to the House, will work a radical sh change in our monetery system, by alowing every person who has silver to take it to the mint and demand and wr receive one coined dollar in gold or afl silver for every unit weight of 4121 eil I ti rains of silver nine-tenths fine. At present the government does not ailow AC free coinage, but purchases 4,500,000 Af ounces of silver every month and coins mhal on its own account. The bullion price of silver is on an average not more than 75 cents in gol(d for 4121 grains, so that the government makes about a quarter of a dollar on every siiver dollar it coins. The effecc of free to coinage will of course be to raise the lat price of silver bullion at least tenpo rarily, for when any one can sell 412i grains of it to the government for a ;o dollar ',e will not consent to take much rol less than this from anybody else. But the opponents of free coinage hold that lt when this weight of silver is callc: a in dollar by the government, people will im buy silver from abroad at cheap rates I and present it to the mint, white those who have gold dollars will simply lock va them up, or ship them over to Europe in to buy silver with, in which case gold Pe will cease to be money in circulation here; and a contraction of several w hundred millions will result. This is Ke precisely what the advocates of an in creased volume of money do not want. Should the load of silver be too y01 great for the United States to carry at sa mc a par with gold, the spectacle will be sa presented of the United S'.ates becom- an ing a silver country, just as it was mh from 1862 to 1878 a paper country: Elt and since European business men are ree not compelled by law to take Ameri- -le can silver dollars, they will receive P0 for them only at their buliion value in eX- st change for gold, and exchange; be tween the two countries will be fi d at this ratio. Let us assume that by means of tho free coinage of silver , that mnetel is increased in value, until So 421 grains will he worth 00 ccnts in gold in England. A New Yoi k mer- si chant wisinzg to buy $1,000 worth of goods at English prices from Loadon K' must send over about $1,100 in silver, or else receive for 1,000 silver dollers So if cotton brings 10 cents in New York in U. S. currency it will .sell for only 9 cents with freight added in Liverpool, and wheni English goods " are brought back in exchange tihe far- a mer will discover that he has gotten I only as much as he got for 9 cents~ befor-e the passage of the frce coinage s act. A good deal is heard about the times 3 when cotton sold for 25 cents a pound, in greenbacks. It must be rememi bered that greenbacks then were at a eavy discount, and moreover that :orn sold for a dollar- and eighty cents a bushel and crushed sugar for 25 cents a pound, while all other things were high in proportion. Jugglering with loney will not make us rich; for what. we really exchange is comnmodies for ommodities, and money comes in nly to facilitate the exchange. An infated currency makes the payment f debts more easy, but it makes bor owing somewhat more difficulty ; for apitalists do not care to lend when hey do not know what kind of money hey will be paid back ini. We believe that prices have r-ecently een too lowv in proportion to the debts l ncurred in past time and some expan ion will give relief and not be unjust. [hut in avoiding Seylla we should steer' lear of the Charybdis fiat money and g ebased coinage. Silver has been abused and badly reated. But the absolute free coinage -- f silver is not unlike ill principle the3 bsolute enfr-anchismment of the negro" n 1865. He got "his rights," but the 3 ountr-y came near being lost. It would be wvise to proceed withI xpansion regularly and by some de- ipr inite plan such as is now in operation.
