WINNSBORO, S. C.
Saturday. September 16. 1893
TALBERT and McLaurin are trying,
hard to get the latter's bill on the
financial question reported to the
House. But there the bill makes slow
progress, some one who "objects to
everything" standing in its way. i
How these two gentlemen must long I
for some of the Parliamentary methods
of South Carolina's Legislature to aid
them in their extremity.
THE Democrats of the House are
pursuing the iight course in forcing
the fight on the Federal election laws.
'Tis true the session was called for a
specific purpose, but that beiur at
tended to in a manner wl-ici %hould
put the Senate to shame, t be [ouse is
properly attendirg to urgent business,
when so much unnece sary talk is
being indulged in by the higher house
THE News and Courier's annual trade
review of the city of Charleston is up
to its usual standard of splendid
newspaper work. Charleston has
made progress during a year when it
would have been creditable to bave
made no retrogression in business,
and justly prides herself upon her fine
showing. Al of us fell prond of
Charleston and are agsured that as a
reward of her pnluck under many and I
trying calamities there is a brilliant
*tuture in store for her.
THE COUNTY ALIANCE.

feries.
rThe County Alliance met in the
Court Ilouse Friday to hear lectares
by ofEers of the State and National
Alliances. The speakers were lion.

* tary.
The meeting was called to order
about 12 m. by President Rosborough,
of the County Alliance, lHe brought
a respectful hearing and ntroduced
as the first speaker
EON. J. R. JEFFRIEs.
*Mr. Jeffries spoke for about an hour
and a quarter and commanded a re
*spectful attention throughout the entire
speech. Hle spoke of his tzip over the
County and was more than pleased
with it. Hie had been well received
everywhere and las really received
more courtesy than he expected. lHe .1
was pleased with all the aillances that
he had visited, and although he had
found a little lukewarmness there was
not near so much as was reported. 2
The State Alliance was establiehed
on a Ifirmer basis than ever before and
was in a better moral condition. I
There was not half the opposition to
the alliance today that was encountered
two years ejo. lie had been traveling
throughout alt the State and was ini a
position to know. In Barni well et unty
he went into the Court House expect
ing to find a small audience, buit was
surprised to see the house packed,
and was informed that every man
*present could give the countersign.
The alliance was never intended to
hoist one class of citizens above
another, but it was intended that the
*agricultural population should haveb
equal representation with other classes. ei
It was to educate the agricultural E
element to its proper position in the C
government. Class legislation hadS
.been enacted by the law-makers
which had ground down the farmers
until at the present time they could a
not even get money to move the cotten h
crop. The cause of this was the
ignorance of the people of economic n
governmernt and the alliance wss in- E
tended to remedy this. The educa- c<
tion of the people in non-partisan law I
is one of the 'first planks in the alliance at
platform.
Mr. Jefferies discussed the financial
sy stem at great length. He said t he
system now in practice in this country b
had been sent over by m'e bank of
Englatnd in 1862, and is the saume as el
the one in England where the common Cf
people have been ground down by the tl
aristocracy.
lie described the formation and .
growth .f the public debt. The alli- ta
ance was opposed to the national banks.
It had repeatedly asked Congress for
a sub-treasury bill, but had been told
the scheme was impracticable. Tie
sub-treasury had been tried ingothjer L
counti ies and hed been found success- rr
ful. It involved three principles: 1st. 0
To stop national banks as banks of b
issue. 2nd. To issue money directly b

persons to go directly into the Dear

street car lines converge, then go di
rectly by car or cab to your hotel or
