POLlilCti AJM) l'OUClti?. A TALK WITH COL.. A. K. V., ru m; OM J M rou r v vi TOPIC?. Th? Editor of the Philadelphia "Time-. ? Submit? to nu lutorvlew timi OWcuitnea Home of the Live inane? of tho Day. ?Jul. A. K. Mri lure, the distinguish tl editor ot' tho Philadelphia 1'imes, rceoutly passed through Charleston, and wa* interviewed hy a reporter of the News and Courier, lu reply to requests for an expression of Iiis views apon different matters now greatly nignging the puldic attention, Col. McClure said: CIVIL 8KUVICK UK KO U.M. <*ln the Ural place, wc have more professional politicians in the North than you liare here. Wc have a great doal of dissatisfaction ns to thc civil service reform policy of the President' hut it is among thc politicians who ure so by trade und. who expect Mr. Cleveland to du just what hu has promised not to do. But there is no doubt Unit thooverwlielining sentiment of the Democrats of the Norib is in favor of Mr. Cleveland's policy; and tnat sentiment is growing stronger day hy day for two reasons: First, he ls doing more and more to satisfy tho reasonable wishes of tho Democrats in lllling offices; and second, they are fretting to understand better and belter low wiso that policy ls. If tho Demo eratic party do not sustain Mr. Cleve land in bis present policy they will utterly destroy thc party; it will go to pieces and bo broken up-disintegrat ed." "There is another tiling," continued Col* McClure, "that is steadily streng theeing Cleveland al thc North, and tint is the growing confidence in bim of business circles, which, you know, are very largely Republican in the North. Ile has tho conlldcnce of in dustrial, commercial and financial mun, and those who regard business as of moro importance than politics. AH to the dissatisfaction existing,there is not one-quarter as much with Mr. Cleveland in Hie Democratic party as there was with Mr. Lincoln in thc Republican party during bis term of office. I hare no tic i whatever that before Mr. develin has tilled one half of his term of * unless sonic thing entirely unexpected and not of his own creation should happen, bc will be tho strongest President this country has had sii.ee thc war." "Aro the mass of Independent Re publicans satisfied with tlie Adminis tration of Cleveland?" asketl the Re porter. THE INDEPENDENT REPUBLICA)?. "The great mass of the Independent Republicans that supported Mr. Cleve land, have entire confidence in bim and heartily sustain bim. They arc very independent, of course, and do not sustain any person blindly. They do not approve of everything he bas done, but they have nu abiding faith in bis inherent integrity of purpose and in his ability, with all his embar rassments, to work out his policy and to make it a success. They are en tire!}' satislied with bim as President and with his general policy. As I have said before, there ure a great tunny Rudublicuus in commercial and financial circles who voted against him, who now havo a great deal more faith in him than they ever had in a Democratic President ; and whilst he has lost tho faith of a very few of thc Independents, If any, ho has gained the faith of a very large proportion ol the most intelligent business Repub licans of thc country. HOW TBE PARTIE8 AUE AFFECTED. As to the effect of Mr. Cleveland's Administration upon the organization of politics Col. McClure said : "Tlie facts I have just stated will show that the effect of Mr. Cleveland's course has been to visibly weaken the organization of both parties in the North." THE PKESIDENT AND THE SENATE. "How is the President's course in the contest with the Se?ale on ques tions of removals regarded in the North ?" he wns asked. Col. McClure said: "tlc is very earnestly and cordially sustained by tho entire Democratic party, and by a very large proportion ol tiie Republicans in Iiis contest with thc Senate. Ile will undoubtedly be sustained by the Republican Senate." THE OAKLAND MATTER. In regard to tho general opinion of Attorney General Garland's relations to thc Government Col. McClure said: "All parties have absolute faith in the personal integrity anti confidence in Hie ability of Attorney General Garland. Yet it must he conceded that his connection with the Pnn-Elcc trie affair is a misfortune to himself and a misfortune to the Adtnistration. because, it puts thc Administration upon thc delea- i ve, and thai is always for it au unfortunate position. Thc chief misfortune of it is that it is visi ble to the public that, in an impor tant legal controversy which the Gov ern men I bas a- -tuned, itt chief law officer, and confessedly ils ablest, is not in position to represent tho Gov ernment by reason of a very innocent connection which lie formed three years ago in thc organisation of thc l'an- Fleet ric. Company. He can in no way benefit bis own company or bis own stock by any legal proceedings, for if he were to set aside the Bell pat ? nt ho would either give the patent to Grey or decide that the whole thing was unpat ont able, and therefore it could not in any way benefit, the Pan Electric Om ipa nv But at the ' .um time it is a good sign to see public opinion scus8tivc on tho subject." TARIFF ItEVISION. After a very careful inquiry on thc subjert for two davs in Washington, Col. McClure states his belief that thero will bc no revision of Hie turill at this session of Congress. Tho Rc pnblionus unfortunately have consoli dated against a revision ns a mutter of party policy, and Morrison will not ?resent a bill to Congress that the democrats would pass. Besides, if it were passed by tho House, it would not pass the Senate. SILVER COfMAOE. In regard to the outlook as to the suspension of silver coinage Col. Mc Clure said : "There will ho no suspension of silver coinage. The silver craze is the outgrowth of the greenback erase with increased proportions, and with a good foundation of right for lt. Tho only dlffcnlty ia that they do not make s dollar a dollar. They miglit inst as well make a 86-cent dollar as au 80-cent dollar. But I believe that there will be legislation upon tho subject, without limiting silver coinage, that will either tnske the silver dollar worthy of tho nanon OJ* will hinder it from making any dihtUrbailCO III the financial affairs of thin country. 1 do not look ut all tor ti suspension of (hu coinage, Tl ere I? no m ed to UO H. The Country omi Btaud ml thc silver that can ho coined it tho\ will coin an hopout dollar. TriK NEW SOUTH. Concerning the people of the South, Col. McClure baal (hut "this sect ion is now tor thc first time in a position to begin a rapid growth. Never before lins she been in such good position to command Ibo entire confidence of capi tal at the North. While there bus been generally a confidence in thc tranquil itv of the South, even before the elec tion of Cleveland, still it was ul w n \ H said: 'Wait until these people gel into power, theil lhere will be a dis turbance, a disposition to reverse the judgment of tho wnr, to make prop erty unsafe and society turbulent.' Now it is seen that thc ?South, instead of undertaking to disturb polities, has gone to work to command thc confi dence of capital in every part of tho word, to invite immigration, ami now for the first time .money, which is very sensitive, is free trotn all doubt ns to its safety in every part of thc Som h. Our largo surplus of money and skilled labor must very soon turn South, where it can bc very much better re warded than in thc North. They will go to tho manufacturing of iron and tho development of coal, and thc spin ning and weaving of cotton anti all the various and diversified industries which those things carry with thom. Asa consequence the 'ide of Northern .md foreign immigration will turn southward instead of westward, be cause the West is every year becoming less and less inviting to foreign cmi gration. "1 regard the prospects of the South as even much better than thc Southern people themselves regard them. There ls nothing in the history of the world that can bc compared with the efforts of thc Southern people to rehabilitate themselves. Considering the institu tions Hilder which they grew up, their system of labor which luis been so vio lently revolutionized, and thc necessity for diversifying their industries, of which they knew little or nothing, it is marvellous how they have adapted themselves to the new order of things and to what a stn^e of advancement they have arri voa in a low years. Pennsylvania has much more reason to fear thc South in thc manufacture ot iron and in thc competition than any foreign country. You will draw a large portion of our industry to your section, and we, as wc have always done, will learn so net hing new anti "n at it. There cannot bc anything more insane than the raising of col 0 ? here in the South, where you have thu bene fit ot a splendid water power that never freezes, and where everything cheapen?! production, and then to shill that cotton away lo bleak New Eng land, and Ibero to have ii spun ami woven. That system cannot la-t lu thc New South. Whenever capita comes South, where it is bound t< come, there will lie a revolution; am it cannot be far distant." FARMERS TO Till-: FRONT. Call for un Agricultural Convention n ColumblA-An AtlilrennSetting Forth in? (irluvancea of tho Tiller* nf tin- Soil. To thc fanners of ?South Carolina, Seventy-six per cent, of our Stale*! population arc actively engaged ii agricultural pursuits. At least one half of thc remainder arc directly de pendent upon tho farmers for tin means of a livelihood. Wc may justl; claim, theil, that wc constitute th -tate, yet wc do not govern it, nor ar tho laws administeren in our interests and few are passed for our benefit. Wc pay taxes and vote, ?uni lhere i: no further usc for US. Those taxes di not grow any less, while our ability li pay them grows smaller yearby year and nothing worth naming hus bcci done to foster and encourage thst in tcrest whic.ii leeds and sustains al others. The negroes used to bc th "mudsills" of our economic fabric j but thousands of white men-lund owning farmers -lind themselves slow ly hut surely sinking beneath tb waves to bo added to tho foil lld Ut io upon which a few men anti corpora lions are erecting their fortunes, lu pending bankruptcy stares thousand in thc face, while oilier thousands ar overseeing their own plantations fo their victuals and clothes. An insane sj stein of tanning large] prevails and our lands arc grow in poorer year by year. Largo ureas u South Carolina arc being made desert to feed negroes, while thc lum owners, giving no thought to th fm uro of themselves and chiidrci stand idly by, or assist and three, th skimming oi'a Stale, which, by rcaso ol soil, climate ami geographical pos tion, might be made a veritable Gai den of Eden. The negroes will "g West" went tho bones are pickt t What will wc do? We arc "Tannin towards despair" in tims continuing t impoverish our lands by ignorant cu lure, but nothing is done by our Lej, islaturo, or its creatures, to stop it, < to try to teach the people a better ail wiser system. Porty thousand dollin are spent annually in the State, tbrci fourths of it spent by farmers, to etlt cato men for oilier professions an pursuits; thc farmers get nothing, an are left to grope their way inwards tl grave in ignorance anti its conseqtici poverty. Even thc pittance donate to educate fanners by the United Slut? Government is taken from us ami n| proprialed to sustain thc institution : which our futuro inasters uro bein trained. How thankful we should I lo tho good Lord for such gcucrosil and c. i dom among our statesmen, ? ? called t Again, wc pay $25,000 annually 1 specific tax, which comes out of tl farmer alone, to sustain a deparimn of agriculture A good slice of this spent to collect tho phosphate roi ult; which goes to support ihe Ntnte f?o' eminent, and tho rest is frittered an wasted, so far as wc can sec, thc onl benefit received by tho farmers bein a partial protection against fratldtlh t fertilizers. A majoiity of thc board of ilgrictl turo are not engaged in tanning. Wi, wonders, thou, that so little has hoe done by it to benefit our binning it tcrests? Four bad crops out of five ami tl consequent poverty of our farmers ci aloud for economy and reduction > taxes. But this cry, which came froi every county, was ignored by thc hu Legislature, which also poreistont) refused to obey a plain mandate of th Constitution to provide for a ronppoi Uonment of representatives by Imidin, M c? nsns. It is small wonder, thou that nothing was dono to protect th (farmers against robbery by diuhoncs fort! i/er manufacturers. The Legislature which recently nd ourned though not corrupt, hus beei 'cry negligent of tho public welfaro Tho thoughtful and intelligent fanners of the State oauuot nlrb ru to elect an other such bolly id' law makers ami Constitution breakers.

Knob county agricultural society is requested lo semi live delegate-. hatch local or township agricultural duh is request to scud one delegate. Thc farmers of each county lire re quested to send live delegates over and above those from organized societies, and lo effect ibis il is suggested that those in sympathy wij.li I lie movement nail a mass meeting or county conven tion ol fanners in their respective COlllltie8 to appoint said delegales. If thc wisest and best of our farm ors thus assemble wo feel and believe there is enough ol both patriotism amt statesmanship among us to Hud reme dies for tbo-e evils; and, without trenching upon Hie rights of. others, manhood enough to demand ami ob tain a proper recognition ol' our rights Slid needs. While this is essentially a larinors' movement wc invite tho ay tilpal hy and moral support of good men of every calling. Agriculture is tho basis of our economic structure and supports the rest. It cannot rise without carry ing with it thc superstructure. There is among thc politicians in South Carolina an up-country and low country. There is no such line of division among the farmers. Our in terests are one. Let u- eome togethci from thc mountains lo thc sea, ami, exercising thc Cod-given right that lin majority should govern, organize IIS fai incl - and obliterate this line torover. .1. T. Uanna, S. S.
