THE FARLEY MANIFESTO
A*P!e? for Peace and Progress.
The following is the article prepared
by Gen. Hugh L. Farley laut Christ
map, to which allusion haa been made
so frequently in the recent triangular
controversy between Irby, Farloy and
Jas. H. Tlllman. It is printed now
to satisfy the curiosity of those who
might readily imagino from tho allu
sions heretofore made that it con
tained a largo amount of explosive
material und was intended to burst
asunder tho reform movement. It has
a fow criticisms and mild admissions,
but does not seoni calculated to produco
a groat sensation in tho political
world.
THE itr,i ok m MOVEMENT. .
Some Christina* ltoltocttona of an Old
Itotbruier.
To the Editor of Tho State: I do not
believe that any one who knows your
correspondent (and a majority of your
people do) would for a momeut gainsay
that he has been connected with the
Reform movement from its earliest in
ccpt ion, and moroovor that ho has en
deavorod to be a moderato and consis
tent Reformer?a Roformor, Mr. Edi
tor, for Reform suko and for tho good
of tho State, and not for tho more pur
pose of agitation and change, or for
position and powor.
Let mo say, however, in tho begin
ningthat this is to bo no apology for
tho Reform movement, for, on the con
trary, I hold that tho movement was
necessary, and therefore it was right,
and should bo carried out in all of its
essential particulars, as partly it has
been, and evidently, from present indi
cations, it will bo.
Speaking of the essentials of tho Re
form movement, let mo say that:
1. It was right to bring the govern
ment of tho State down to the people
themselves, through tho primary olee
tion, and by fair representation.
2. It was right to roorganizo our
whole system of education and to por
foet it, as has beon and is being done,
so as to make it .meet tho domunds of
tho present and futuro, instead of tho
past.
3. K^s right to demand and to en
force tho equalization of taxution, and
this should bo done relentlessly, tak
ing care that it should bo done all
around und at once.
4. It is right that'our county govern
ments should bo re-organized and sim
plilletl by bringing tho government of
our homo affairs, our schools, roads,
bridges and ferries, directly down into
the hands of our peoplo, moro particu
larly in tho townships and school dis
tricts.
5. It is right to exorcise a curbing
and restraining influonco over our rail
roads to provent tho ovils of monopoly
and an arbitrary exorcise of the powers
and privileges confided to them by a
gonorous public.
0. It is right that a constitutional
convention should bo called, and held,
to revise the fundamental luws of tho
state, which have long been unsatis
factory, and which should bo roformed
so as to porfeet our judicial system,
simplify our laws, and put better safe
guards over tho exercise of universal
suffrage in order to perpetuate white
civilization and good government.
Now tho foregoing, with a demand
for rigid economy in tho conduct of
tho government, comprises tho essen
tial or fundamental principles for
which wo, us Reformers, have con
tended, and in the advocacy of and on
tho strength of those principles wo
have carried tho State. After a bitter
struggle of several years' duration wo
can congratulate ourselves that nearly
all of these principles can bo safely re
garded as accomplished facts, tho re
mainder being already tinder way in
tho process of accomplishment.
In*tho matter of economy it may as
well bo acknowledged that whilst all
these chunges were right and neces
sary, and that great good has boon and
will be realized therefrom, there bus
never beon any groat extravagance
(barring a fow irregularities) under
our Democratic government in this
State, as shown by our oxporionco in
conducting tho affairs of the public.
In fact " Reform " means not merely to
out down, cheapen or reduco expenses
by some niggardly or " penny-wise and
pound-foolish" policy, but to re-ar
range, improve and perfect our system
of government, und this wo may safely
say has beon our purpose, nnd it has
in many if not in every essential par
ticular been realized. Increased ex
penditure may often mean tho best
economy, and, as a matter of fact, tho
State has really been stripping and
divesting herself of unnecessary ap
pendages and preparing for tho great
raco for progress and development in
tho futuro.
Our opponents, the Conservatives,
have realized tho truth of what has
beon said in the ubovo, and havo vir
tually acknowledged it by their plat
forms and tho political course they
have pursued, although they may not
frankly admit it in conversation or in
the press.
My object in reiterating what has
been said and dono in us frank and
plain language as possible, is simply to
lay a foundation for what I wish to
say in regard to tho present situation
and what should be dono in tho futuro.
If tho main purposes of tho Roform
movement have boon accomplished, or
aro undergoing an easy process of ac
complishment, nnd if all parties havo
virtually acknowledged tho right and
jtibticoof our cause, and aro willing to
abido tho decision at tho ballot box,
thon why, during thoso Christinas
holidays, when as I write tho dows
from Heaven aro being crystulized in
snowflakes, liko a mantel of charity,
over tho faco of nature?why aro our
peoplo not ro-united, but looking
ask unco at each other and too often
stilling tho "Merry Christmas" and
the " peace and good will " that should
now bo on every lip? It is not because
the Reform movoment has succeeded,
and its planks almost without excep
tion can now be rogardod as accom
plished facts, for really there aro but
few of our peoplo who, in looking ovor
the foregoing statement of tho essen
tials of tho move me ni, will not now
heartily subscribe to ovory ono of
thorn.
It may bo well, Mr. Editor, during
these, our "Christmas Reflections," to
oven make such confessions as the
truth demands, for aftor all tho truth
plainly told does moro good and goes
moro directly homo to tho hoarts of
tho pooplo than anything olso.
It seems to me. Mr. Editor, thatthoro
is ono lesson which all history teaches,
and that people never learn, and that
is: Revolutionists and roformors
novor know when to stop.
The Christian Catholics roformed
Christendom and civilized Europe, but
they could not stop short of persecution
of Luther and his followers. Luthor
and tho Reformation roformed Europo
. and gave us modern civilization, but
they could not stop short of the perse
cution of the Catholics and tho burning
of heretics. Cromwell, Carlyio says,
revolutionized and did a great deal for
England, but he could not stop short of
the persecution of his opponents and
enemies, so all England rejoiced ovor
his death, and his extreme courso was
the cause of tho restoration of monar
chical government. Mirabeau and his
associates revolutionized France, but
they could not stop short of bloodshed,
the guillotine and anarchy. Napolotn
1
revolutionised the revolution, but be
could not stop short of absolute power,
the conquest of Europe, or St. Helena,
the monarchy being again restored,
and republican government long de
layed in France. In our own country,
whilst the conflict was against a for
eign?the mother-country, and under
the guidance of the firm and just hand
of Washington, it was found hard to
stop short of the punishment and per
secution of the Loyalists, many of
whom wore as honest and as good men
as their opponents. In our own day
and generation, we have seen that the
Republicans could not abolish slavery
and stop short of the persecution of our
pcoplo, or of forcing negro governments
upon tho South.
While the "Reform Movement" in
Mont Ii Carolina is of great importance
to our people, and I believe will prove
of lasting benefit to them, I do not mean
to put it iipon the sumo plane as the
great eras to which I have alluded,
ut simply to impress tho lesson, which
It seems so hard lor us to learn, espec
ially in times of action, and of chango,
und It is that "moderation is the touch
stone of every and all virtuos."
In recounting these great eras of the
history of our own civilization it may
be woil just hero to note that, although
it is assorted thut "revolutions never
go backwards," still an oxtromo course
bus alwuys cuusod a restoration or a
reaction, and has ofton Injured tho
groat cuusu and retarded the great
principles involved. Tho great trouble
is, and always has been, that human
uature and human passion and ambi
tion have boon aud are the satno In all
ages and countries, and in every revo
lution or reform movement, when
gruut agitation or excitement prevails,
there are always found tho elemontsof
Its own ruin or destruction In tho bold
and ambitious but often bad men, who
rush to the front and assume tho lead,
being too often governed by passion,
prejudico and hatred instead of patriot
ism or a true dosiro for genuine re
form. In such times demagogues and
" fools stop boldly In, whore angels
(and statesmen) fear to tread."
As these " reflections " have been
caused by a review of tho Reform
movement and the principles Involved,
lot us coino down to tho consideration
of tho present and, before closing, take
a bira'8-eye view of tho future, instead
of doallng In generalities.
If tho Reform movemont has accom
plished its main purposes, or is in a
position to do so, without much fur
ther opposition, or if tho pcoplo of tho
State havo virtually accepted the re
sults of the movement, and there aro
now no radical differences botweon
thorn, as I boliove, thon why should
not all unnecessary agitation and all
unnecessary blttorness bo ended, and
tho State bo allowed to spring forward
In the race of devolopmont, progress
and prosperity for wlilch she Is evi
dently waiting, and in which I believe
the Reform movemont Itsolf was tho
flrstnecessary step? Right hero, let
us as Reformers, confess our own faults
and sins, boforo wo begin to point out
those of the oppositlorf. The bitter
feelings-and hatreds engendered by
\ho struggle through which wo havo
passed havo not beon allowed to die
out, and I am sorry to say that no
proper effort at reconciliation has been
made on either bide. There has beon
too much fooling on both sidos, too
much bitterness on tho purt of tho de
feated and not onough magnanimity
on tho successful sido, which can al
ways woll afford to bo gonerous. Tho
former was natural, but I am afraid
that interested individuals, inspired
by tho hopes and ambition, as weil as
tho animosities aroused t herein, have
been too busy and anxious to keep up
divisions, looking thereto for future
preferment. This Is, and always has
been, one of tho faults or mlsfortunos
of such movoments, and can be correct
ed only by tho people, tho conservative
people, themselves, who should not al
low tho State to be kept in a condition
of turmoil and bitterness inoroly to
gratify tho spleen, hatred or ambition
of politicians or demagogues. Thoy
cannot afford it, and I am satistied that
they aro already beginning to sco and
feel It and aro becoming tired of It.
In looking back over tho record of
tho past year, it will not bo unmanly or
even an evidence of weakness for us to
acknowledge that we have made some
mistakes, or to express it?have not al
ways "known when to stop"?while
many did not think so at that time.
Still It is clear to most of us now that
some serious mistakes were made in the
May convention, both in tho Clcvoland
resolutions and tho adoption without
modification of tho Ocala platform.
Tho simplo truth is that wo wore on
tho brink of Third party ism, and we
may congratulate ourselves and the
State that wo escaped from it with all
of its attendant ovils. This was, how
ever, undoubtedly due to the wisdom
and conservatism of some of our own
Reform leaders, more particularly Gov
ernor Tillman. It will not hurt us,
but may prove a direct benefit in the
future, to criticise fairly tho action of
our last Legislature, and to acknow
ledge that?though many may not
havo so regarded it?its course on sev
eral questions as well as its course in
general smacked somewhat too strong
ly not only of partisanship, but of vin
dictlvencss, a little of it creoping out
oven In tho Governor's messago. While
it is right to make railroads and cor
porations pay their taxes and obey tho
laws, yet when they only undortake to
resist what thoy claim is illegal taxa
tion, by purely legal moans, and sub
mit themselves to tho decisions of the
regularly organized courts, it is hardly
fair to attempt to pass a vindictive
law, making it virtually a crime to do
so, and affixing so severe a penalty as
tho forfeiture of charters, and tho ruin
of vuluablo property, for trying to pro
tect their Interests. While judges aro
not above criticism, and are subject to
public censure, as woll as impoach
ment, for doing international wrong,
still it is hardly fair, when thoy havo
honestly and disinterestedly construed
a statute, to insinuato that thoy aro
under tho inlluonco of corporations,
when there is no evidence of it. Let
tho law bo corrected if it is wrong,
but do not, by insinuation, impeach
tho motives and characters of high
and honorable men, who havo long
sorvod tho State, and always borne
good characters.
While, as I havo said, it is right and
is one of tho essentials of the Reform
movemont to "oxorcise a curbing and
restraining influence over railroads, to
prevent the evils of monopoly and tho
abuse of their privileges and powers
confided to thorn, by a generous pub
lic," still when thoy acknowledgo the
right to this control, on tho part of tho
stute, and submit to it, it is hardly fair
to tako tho cutiie management of
their affairs out of tho hands of their
own agents, nnd put them without the
right of appoal in tho hands of inox
porloncod and ovon irresponsible
parties who givo no bonds for damages
done. No fair minded man will hardly
deny tho right of tho railroads to at
loast something liko representation on
tho board of control undor such cir
eumstancoB.
It may not bo altogothor truo, but
still tho efforts at prohibition in tho
l .ei lat ui e smacked somewhat of vin
dictivoncss?tho country against tho
town, or as a punishmont of tho towns
and cities for their persistent opposi
tion to tho Reform movemont. It is
to bo hopod that there Is but little
truth in this, bocauso tho fooling of ro
vongo is at best but an ignoblo one,
and is unbecoming so great a pooplo as
ours havo provon themselves to bo.
Bosidos. legislation should bo lifted
above all feelings and influences, and
public -measures considered from th?
non-partisan standpoint of public good
and the public good alone.
From this point the dispensary, or
so-called "Evans Bill" which is ac
knowledged tO bo (I compromise meas
ure, introduced at tho suggestion of
Gf^rnor Tillmun, should oe judged.
While it is purely experimental, it has
sowie very* strong features to recom
mend it to our careful consideration
and a fair trial.
Prohibition, ae heretofore tried,
seems to have proven a failure, and if
this be so, 1 must confess that I have
but little confidence in any final and
satisfactory solution of the liquor ques
tion, further than that arrived at by
European experience. Every attempt
at prohibition, and every tax put upon
liquor, is but a premium ottered for
its illicit manufacture and sale, and
for its adulteration, and I see no final
settlement outside of the production
of native wines, and the encourage
ment of the free sale like any other
commodity in tho market. Leg isla to
against drunkenness and bad liquor in
stead of the legitimate business of
wine making, and we may be nearer
the mark.
Governor Tillman has occupied such
an important position in the Reform
movement and in the publio eye, as
connected with tho various matters to
which this article alludes, that it
would hardly seem right to close it
without giving him a place in the pic
ture. I am not a hero-worshipper, and
am well aware that he is not as mean
as be appears to his enemies, nor per
haps as great as ho appears to many of
his followers.' The reform movement
was the rosult of years of -political
thought and experience of many
partios, and came in God's own good
time, but was not created by any single
man. Tho Governor's carcor has boon
phenomenal, and ho has been its ablest
advocate and leader. Ho has shown
extraordinary power and ability, and
has risen abovo the charge of being a
more agitator or demagogue. He
caught tho tide at its Hood, and now
having triumphed as a leudor of a suc
cessful faction, tho true test of his
strength has just begun. Whether he
is to oe classed as a great politician
merely, who has had his day and time,
is yet to bo decided. He seems at
times impressed with tho false idea
that ho is nothing if not aggressive,
and ho has unfortunately allowed him
self to appear beforo the public as self
willed, arbitrary and even vindictive,
but it is to be hoped that it is only the
forceful manner of a strong will, with
out which thoro can be no strong mind
or character. Lot him bo what he
will, it is certain that unless he can
rise above tho clouds of passion, preju
dice and of faction, he can never de
servo tho name of statesman. It
is still In his power to mako his ad
ministration acceptable to the whole
State, and to quiet tho troubled politi
cal waters, but if ho fails to meet the
great omergency before him, and to
bring poaco, hopo and prosperity to
our people, then ho must fall, and
" llko Lucifer ho will fall to rise no
more." Our peoplo like strong and
bold leaders, but thoy will resent now,
as thoy have dono before, anything
iiko an arbitrary disposition, of which
tho Govornor has shown strong tenden
cies, and ho must show less intolerance
and hatred towards his opponents and
more kindly consideration towards his
friends and allies, if he desires to main
tain himself before the peoplo, because
all the real conservative, good citizens
of tho State, who want peace and good
will and progress and prosperity, and do
not care for office, are much noarer to
each other than tho casual observer
would suppose. They cannot bo kept
long apart.
Whon wo come to consider tho "Con
servatives," as they were called in the
last campaign, wo find that, like tho
"Reformers," thoy aro made up of
two different elements, real Conserva
tives and Haskellites, just as the Re
formers aro made up of real Reformers
and Third Party ites. Third party ism
and Haskellism aro about the same,
as they represent tho two extremes,
tho Scylla and Charybdids of tho Dem
ocratic party, either of which would
ruin the State by appealing to tho ne
gro. The real conservatives on both
sides were unfortunate in tho last cam
paign, t hose on tho Shepnurd side be
ing unwillingly forced into alliance
with tho Haskellites, and those on tho
Tillman sido boing forced into allianco
with Third Partyism, the Third Party
ites realizing the situation and taking
an ungenerous advantage of Tillman
and others in making tho Govornor
und others swallow almost the Om?ha
platform without modification.
Fortunately it ended all right in tho
dofeat of tho effort to restore tho old
regime, which Haskellism represents,
and in tying tho hands of the Third
Partyitos und thereby preventing
Third Partyism from taking any so
rlous hold in tho State. It is some
what curious to note that tho real con
servatives, who are largely in tho ma
jority in tho State, aro divided be
twoen tho Reformers and Conserva
tives. So-culled Haskellism and Third
Partyism uro each in a minority on
each sido, though potent factors in tho
last division, but they cannot reach
each other or control the State, us
thoy represent what may bo called tho
antipodes in politics. It is also curious
to noto that Tillnvn is the dividing lino
or the cause of the division between the
real conservatives in the Stato, a part
of them going reluctantly with the so
called Conservatives, who had cunning
ly adopted the Reform platform to
catch them, because they knew thoy
did not like Tillman, and tho other
party standing squarely by the Reform*
movement, us a matter of principle,
though it was evident that many of
thorn, as well us many of tho Third
Partyitos, followed Tillman with re
luctance. From all of this, it is cloar
that tho Reform movement, with all
of its essentials, has taken a strong
hold on tho great majority of our peo
ple, and tho conclusion is inevitable
that if Governor Tillman had beon dif
ferently constituted, or a man of more
tact and address, ho could easily havo
united, or possibly could now unite tho
great majority, i. o , tho real conser
vative citizens of tho State. The
cause, of division now does not Ho in
tho Reform movement, or with its
principles, but partly with Govornor
Tillman himsolf und more largely still
with tho opposition, us I will proceed
to show.
It is a pity that tho opposition to the
Reform movement hud not hud tho wis
dom and foresight at any time since '70
and '80, whon tho movement first
began, to try und conform to it, and to
keop abreast of our peoplo in their
growth and progress. It is certainly
made up of first rate elements, which
have shown themselves patriotic and
self-sacrificing in tho past. There Is
no doubt but that all this agitation has
cost us a greut deul ontsido of the bit
terness engondored, by tho strugglo
against tho Inevitable and thore has so
far been but littlo compensation beyond
the political success of tho movomont
and tho political education of the peo
ple. It may bo foolish to Indulge In
such vain regrets, and I would not
allude to thorn but for the purposo of
making a point for tho future ; but tho
truth is, our real progress undor the
principles of tho Reform movomont
has just begun. Had it not boon for
almost senseless opposition to all the
essential planks or principles of tho
movomont, which aro now generally ac
coptod, we might several years ago
havo been right where wo aro to-day,
or rather wo might to-day bo far ahead
of whoro wo aro, in tho onjoymont of
an improved system of education, of
agriculture, and of homo or county and
township government, with improved
schools, roads and bridges. Our
constitutional convention might
already have been hold, our judi
ciary system fixod upon and simpli
fied, and the question of regulated
suffrage finally settled.
Governor Tillman him his faults, but
the agitation and uvon the contention
which was the outcome of it, was all
made necessary, if not unavoidable, by
the opposition, just us the Democrats
wero reunited, and Third Partyism
avoided in the Stato, tho Conservative
nomination holding tho Keformors to
gether, in tho lust campaign, but other
wise it was a very foolish aud unueces
sary contest, serving ODly to delay the
reconciliation of the conservative ele
meats in the Stato. It serves to show
also what may seem paradoxical to
ho reo, that Governor Tilltuan'b worst
enemies have proven his best allies.
Now, it would seem useless and fool
ish to indulge in this review of the
situation, the Reform movement, as
well as the extended criticism of both
sides, which I have endeavored to
make fairly, unless I had some object
or ulterior purpose in view.
In recounting the essentials of the
Reform movement and pointing out
the errors that we as Reformers have
made or generally make ; in criticising
the actions of both sides, and of Gover
nor Tillman as a publto man, and in
pointing out the peculiarities and dif
ferences of all parties to this political
contest, my object has been to show
that there aro now no radical differ
ences between the real conservatives
tu the State, who have accepted all the
essentials of the Reform movement,
and are willing to abide by them and
bury all political bitterness in tho
dead past. The real Reformers and
the real Conservatives, who are In a
largo majority in the State, can easily
unite upon a platform like this and re
solve that the State shall be put upon
a high plane of progressive develop
ment, and that all unnecessary bltter
noss shall be frowned down and shall
cease, and when political leaders and
the press, who are more largoly re
sponsible for the continuance of bad
feeling than any ono else, realize that
such Is tholr determination, wo shall
hear no more of It.
It has become Imperatively neces
sary for the real couborvatlves of the
Stato to get together, because we are
on the eve of a Constitutional Conven
tion, and it i8 Of tho Utmost importance
that It should be filled with our ablest
and best men and that none but real
Reformors and progressive men should
bo elected thereto. They should be in
harmony with all of the essentials of
tho Reform movement, but at tho same
time free from prejudico and
1>artisan feeling. Our people cannot
>e too strongly Tmpressou with tho im
portance of sending none but their
strongest and ablost mon to the Con
stitutional Convention, because It Is 'a
sovereign body and may do a groat
deal of good or a groat deal of harm to
tho State. Besides the matters already
spoken of for Its consideration, ft
might finally dispose of several ques
tions, Buch as prohibition and tho rail
road questions, which persist in dis
turbing tho poace and harmony of our
people.
In Bending this waif, or in pouring
this oil out upon the troubled political
waters, lot mo say finally, that what we
really need in South Carolina is not
only the uniting of tho real conserva
tives, but tho formation of a more pro
gressive movement in the Stato. The
Reform movement, with all of its
essentials, can do us but little good un
til we unite to put them int > active
opora* ion. Let tno roal roformer and
conservative of tho State movo up on
this lino. Lot tho towns treat the
country with more consideration and
respect, and the country quit abusing
the towns. Lot tho newspapers cease
their perpetual and never ending de
traction and fnult-findiug with Govor
nor Tillman, and givo him a chance to
be conservative, and then sco if lie does
not meet tho great emergency and
B-ovo equal to tho responsibility. The
askellites may rage, and the Third
Partyites may roar, but no good can
come of any farther agitation and bit
terness, unless it be to put some un
worthy demagogue in power, or " drift
wood " into tho Constitutional Conven
tion, and this it is the highest duty of
every real reformer and roal conserva
tive to prevont. We may agitate, and
agitate, and wo may talk reform as
much as wo please, but as long as wo
keop up this bitterness and bickering,
our people are Idle and dissatisfied,
and our interests and all industry is
languishing, whilo wo play into tl o
hand of tho demagogue.
We may talk of reducing taxation
upon our pcoplo, but there is only ono
way in which it can bo dojio to any por
coptiblo degree. When wo havo
settled our differences and ceased our
quarreling ; when wo havo encouraged
capital to como into the Stato to help
in its development; when wo have
doubled our hands in tho factories, in
tho shops und on the farms ; when we
have twico tho capital and twice tho
people to bear the burden and tho cost
of supporting tho Stato that wo now
have, then we will realize that wo
havo reduced our own tuxes and added
materially to tho value of our own
firoperty as woll, but not until t hen.
n ftuoh a movemont it would bo but
I right and natural, that leading conser
vative Reformers, with Governor Till?
I man (if ho will), should tako the lead
and bring about what is now most need
ed and desired in tho State. This is
the more incumbent upon him, and
thorn, sinco thoy aro so largoly re
sponsible for our present condition,
and wo hopo he will move forward on
tho line bo plainly marked out as tho
natural result or sequol of tho Reform
movomont, and if ho will not tho re
sponsibility' will bo his, particularly if
ho should recoivo tho full assurance
that ho will bo supported by all of the
real reformers and real conservatives
of tho Stato.
Let us have a "more progressive
movomont," and lot its watchword bo
"Progressive Development."
AN OL.D REFORMER.
Tho above article has already been
alluded to in ray reply to Senator Irby.
In submitting ft to the public, lot mo
say Anally, that wo havo arrived at
that point or period in our history
whon we must do something similar to
A Friend

Every Dose Effective
what I have suggested, In the next
campaign, or we may do something
worse. It must be evident, even to the
casual observer, after the experience
in the last two campaigns, that we are
on the eve of a crisis, that a ulimax has
been reached, from which we w ill get
a great deal better or a great deal
worse. If sueh another campaign as
we have had is allowed to take place
the State will not only be torn Into
contending factions, but there may be
riot, bloodshed and actual revolution,
which all of us would deplore, and
which we have but narrowly missed.
Our attention should be turned to na
tional affairs, because it is from that
point that our great relief must come,
and I repeat that it is noither wise,
statesmanlike, patriotic, much less
Christlanlike, to continue the present
bitterness in a factional strife, when in
truth there is now no real difference be
tween the real conservative people of
the State.
Surely a people eemeuted by tho
dangers, trials, and misfortunes of four
years of bloody warfare, by tho terrors
and temptations of reconstruction, with
its horrors of misrule, by the heroic
struggles and sacrifices of '7(3; whoso
interests and whose hopes are so identi
cal, will not allow themselves to bo
now permanently torn and dismombor
od in factional strife, with tho dangers
of negro rule and domination staring
them In tho faco, but can and will, by
mutual concessions, in mutual respect,
once again restore that hurmouy,
which all muBt desire, und which all
must acknowledge to bo so uocessary
to their safety and well being.

Silver Mining in Colorado.?Tho
first effect of the drop in silver to 111
cents and the noxt day to 02 conts an
ounce was to paraly/.e the silver indus
try. Thoro are three or four mines,
like tho Mollio Gibson, Smuggler, Lust
Chance, and Amethyst, in which silver
can be produced at less than ?0 cents
an ounce ; but in tho great majority of
the mines that were in successful
operation it costs considerably more
than that. A meeting of mon interest
ed in mining and smelting was held
the day after silver touched its lowost
point, and it was agreed to close all
mines and smelteries. If tho smel
teries will not treat the ore, it is use
less for tho miners to produce it; there
fore, for a few days, everything came
to a standstill. Si .o then, however,
some smelteries havoobcon started up
ntrain, in order to treat the oro in sight,
but very little mining of silvor has
been done.
Tho cosssation of mining bus had a
torriblo effect upon such places as
Loudville, Aspen, und Creodc, which
have almost no other resources. The
miners, being out of work, cannot pay.
Tho merchants dare not grant credit.
Tho banks find their reserves molting
away, and close their doors. All
business suffers, and many business
men fail. The closing of tho mines has
thrown probably 20,000 men out of em
ployment, at a low estimate.
Relief committees have been formed
at the places mentioned to try to keop
from actual starvation the families
whoso bread-winners cun no longer
obtain supplies; but this work cannot
be kopt up many months. Of course
thoso who aro outfof work and can got
awry, do so; but distances aro enor
mous in Colorado, railway faros are
high, and tho walking is not good.
It is useless to point out to men who
have lost their all, and who may soon
be in actual danger of sturving, that
Colorado bos other resources than
silver; that iron and coal and petro
leum, load, copper, and building-stone,
aro to bo had for tho digging ; that tho
agricultural output of the State last
year was almost doublo the mineral
output in value; that gold-mining is
bound to yield rich returns. It is hard
for a man who has not u dollar and who
cannot got any credit to start in u now
business. It sounds to him like mock
ery to toll him of other opportunities.

w I:a m 11 ;k CHOP bulletin.
The Condition of Gtfops in all Sections
of the State.
Tho followiug is the weather crop
bulletin for the week ending July 31 :
The teraporaturo has averaged above
the normal ut all stations and has beeu
bencficiul to all crops. The rainfall
has been badly distributed, many sec
tions not having been visited at all ;
other sections received showers during*,
the heat of the day, which had an in
jurious rather than a beneficial effect.
Somo few localities rocoived heavy
washing rains, which wore accompani
ed by high winds, from which slight
dnraago resulted.
While the drought continues in many
sections it has been temporarily reliev
ed and with the showers of July .'11 and
to-day will in all probability bo broken.
With plenty of rain through August
there i? still a chance for a fair cotton
crop. The next ton days or two weeks
will be watched with a groat deal of
anxiety by all cotton growers and fac
tors : with good rains an avorago crop
may bo expected in the Piedmont
region, but not in tho middle bolt nor
in tho coast counties ; with drought tho
crop will be reduced one-half. Some
farmers fear, whore growth has boon
backward, that cotton will cast off
squares as soon growth begins aftor
good rains, making a gloomy prospect
for large sections of tho State. Tho
feneral feeling seems to be that cotton
as Improved moro than could bo ex
pected considering tho drought. It is
fruiting well and shedding but little.
Corn, though recently Improved,
will not amount to much. Somo bot
tom corn is reported us made and a fair
crop, but upland corn ruined. Young
corn looks well.
Gardens are ruined in many counties,
but where the drought had not already
placed them boyond recovery, they
navo responded to tho rain.
Turnip planting has bogun. Fodder
stripping will commonco this week.
Rain is needed for cotton, corn and
gardens. Rice looks well, but requires
more vain.
Charleston reports fig crop largo and
of good quality.

Ar? You Going to tho World's Fair?
If i o, see that your ticket reads via
Cincinnati and the C. H. & D. and
Monon?tho acknowledged "World's
Fair Route.1'
The only line out of Cincinnati con
necting with the E. T. V. & G. and Q.
& C. train No. 2, arriving Cincinnati
10:30 p. m. A solid train carrying
through sleepers from Jacksonville,
Savannah, Birmingham, Atlanta, Chat
tanooga, Macon and New Orleans via
E. T. V. & G., Q. & C, C. H. & D. and
Monon Route to Chicago.
You can stop over in Cincinnati if
your ticket reads via tho C. H. &. D.
and Monon route, by depositing same
with the Merchants' and Manufac
turers' Association, Chamber of Com
merce Building, corner of Fourth and
Vino streets, one block from Fountain
Square (the C. II. & D. ticket office is
in the samo building.) This enables
you to visit the picturesque "Queen
City " at no additional cost, and special
efforts will be made to entertain
strangers hospitably and reasonably.
Tho universal verdict of tho travel
ing public is that tho Pullman Safety
Vestibuled trains, running every day,
" and Sunday too," via the O. II. & D.
and Monon, between Cincinnati, In
dianapolis and Chicago, are without
doubt the '"finest on earth." These
trains were ospeeially built by the
Pullman Company for this service, and
embrace every improvement. Their
magnificent couches, luxurious smok
ing cars, superb sleepers, observation
cars, compartment sleeping cars and
unexcelled dining car service, afford
" all the comforts of home."
Leaving Cincinnati you pass through
the beautiful Miami Valley, and for
twenty-five miles the double track.-* run
through tho very front door yards of
the finest suburban homes in the coun
try. Beyond Hamilton and up to In
dianapolis, tho lino is noted for its
scenic beauty.
A stop over at Indianapolis, the capi
tal of Indiana, may be obtained by de
positing your ticket with the secretary
of the Commercial Club. This city is
more worthy of a visit than almost any
other of its size in tho West, and offers
tho greatest inducements to traveler
and tourist. Between Indianapolis and
Chicago tho line traverses tho very
best agricultural and commercial ter
ritory, and the rido is one of un
para lied comfort and beauty.
Boar in mind that tho C. II. & D.
and Monon Route trains all run via
Bumside Crossing, from which point
tho Illinois Central suburban trains run
direct to the Word's Fair Grounds
every moment. At Englowood con
nection is mude with tho electric cars,
which run every five minutes to tho
grounds, but wo recommend all persons
to go directly into tho Dearborn Sta
tion, which is located in the heart of
the city and from which all street car
lines convcrgo, then go directly by ear
or cab to your hotel or boarding place,
First locate yourself: know where und
how you are to live while in Chicago.
Got tho locality firmly fixed in your
mind, before going to the World's Fair
by any of tho numerous convenient
ways; the cable cars, electric roads,
elevated railroad, Illinois Central R.
R., suburban trains and steamboats af
ford ample accommodations for all pos
sible visitors, and it is but five minutes
ride from tho business portion of the
city to tho grounds. Take your break
fust down town, buy your lunch at tho
grounds, and tako your supper down
town. If you follow those suggestions
you will save monoy. The facilities
for serving lunch at tho World's Pair
Grounds uro extraordinary and tho
prices aro cheaper than at your own
home, but breakfast and supper should
bo taken down town, or at your board
ing house. The World's Fair is al
ready tho most astounding and stupend
ous spectaclo over attempted by any
people, and a day's visit will afi'ord
moro delight and instruction than can
possibly bo obtained in any other way
or by the same expenditure of money.
