LAU RENS, 8. C, Oct. S, 1898. The Ruling Question, Since Ihe United States have ex isted tho Democratic party has been the political guard and hope of tho South. Since the war It has been the sole barrier between our people and a party built on sec tional hatred and maintaining it self by persistent robbery of the masses. That party it has at length conquered. Until lately our peo ple were satisfied to rely on the Democracy to reduce tho tariff and ho raako posslblo the fair distrib ution of woalth among the produ cers. Until lately they wore ready to thank the Democracy for shield' lng them from force bills and the destruction of local self govern ment. They were glad to shout well earned praises in the ears of Northern Democrats whom they now damn as plutocrats and thieves. In the mean while and during long years after tho Democ racy had commenced its struggle tho vexing silver dollar had not boon conspicuous in tho United States. Until 1878 It was a com paratlvo strangor. It W?a out of sight. For moro than forty years it had been unknown within our borders and it had never been missed.. Only since the passage of the Bland law fifteen years ago has it been a wheel in our mone tary machine. It should be re membered that tho formal demon etization of'73 did not expel silver dollars for there were practically none among us,although it did in re ference to tho future wall them out. Nor should it bo forgotten that silver in this country was practi cally demonetized as far back as 1834. These observations are repeated hero becaase thero Is a wide im pression to the spreading of which many politicians uro sedulously addicting themselves that silver has at some time or other in the bygones been the victim of foul j>l:iy. It is attempted to create sympathy for it as tho under dog in the fight. At the present moment our party is at last the master of a hard won field and Its gallant and earnest leaders are eager to make use of the frulls of the victory. The sil ver question is in tho way. The best thought of the party realizes that silver legislation since the passage of the Bland bill has' been a series of delusions and snares, It is recognized that as a natural re sult the whole country is on the brink of a pitfall. The repeal of the Sherman law is the only way to avoid it and until that is accom plished advance on reform lines is impracticable. To undertake tar iff reduction with silver purchases continuing is for the Democratic majority in Congress to plunge blindly into mires and quick sands. It is to impedo a forward move ment, to fling to the winds the ad vantage already gained, to lay their victorious party away in a mouldy shroud, that the masked Populists of the South are now pressin'; the Democratic Senators to do. The assertions which Popullstlc Froo Silver lenders employ to croate public sentiment are as groundless as in most cases tho motives which cause their uttoranco aro false. To illustrate: It is a gratuitous and indofensible assertion that the freo coinage of silver would under present conditions swell the vol ume of tho currency. Tho people have been repeatedly told this but they have no reason to believe if. Tho truth Is that for every addi tional silver dollar that would come into tho country a gold dollar of much greater real value would go out. It is a specious and yet flimsy, unsubstantial and and unprovable assertion that tho amount of tho currency was larger or even as largo for the years immediately following tho close of the war as it is now. But the people ha vo hud such stuff monotonously drummed .into their ears for so long a time that many have come to accept It as an actual fact. It might be, (we seriously ques tion it,) that with an international agreement silver would again be coined in civilized couutries with out imperilling the safety of busi ness transactions but for the United States now to presume to "go it alone" and try to bluff tho reran!n /der of the world Is equivalent to delivering over the wealth which is n iturally theirs to European na s tions and donning tho latter'* cost of off clothes. And if thinking farmers will look into both sides of the question, they will neu? where we are right. Mr. T. E. Wiley, 140 Chambers St., New York City, says that Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured htm of a dry and ncalp humor, from which he had suffered intolerably. He adds:' ?'I have not now a blemish on my body, and my cure is wholly due to Ayer'a Sarsaparilla," j Strong nerves, sweet sleep, good appetite, healthy digestion, and best of all, pure blood, are given by I food's Snrsnparllltt. Fornaan University has opened its doors to women and In'so doing the Advkrtiskb not in the least doubts Its wisdom. Expediency and economy proclaim that its ex ample Is sure to bear fruition in good results. The time has arrived when nothing but benefit will cpine from the co-education of young men and women and the uction of the authorities of the uuiversity is distinctly in the line of progress. There is another roform which might go hand in hand with this and which Southern Colleges would show good sense in adopting. They should raise their ages of admission. U youths under tho age of eighteen were excluded from Institutjons with pretentious names high schools would flourish aud material would le prepared to do something more than nominal work in the colleges and universities. The Columbia State Publishing Comp my has bought the Columbia. Journal. Each paper will have its own editor and the policy of neither will bo influenced by tho other. The Stato in the mean time ha? purchased typesetting >macbines and will be able to give its readers a far superior paper even to what it was already. It is Just ns woll to remind the country people of this county that Tho State's semi weekly edition which is sold for two dollars a year gives all the dally news of Tuesdays and Fri days when it Is published as well as that of tho days intervening and that it will sharo in the pres ent improvements. Mountvillo Alliance doubtless means well for Senator Irby when It spouts Its resolutions of denun ciation upon the Anti press, but the fact is that that tho Senator Is Injured whenever the "error" they allude to is pushed upon public at tention. There are tongues, though which have wagged so long aud so steadily about tho evil Auti press that they could not stop now if they would. In this Instance Senator Irby Is tho victim of their bad habit. It is hinted that Governor, Till man wants to be President of the United States which reminds us that Farmer Tillman plunged into the movement eight years ago as a puro and undefiled patriot who was as far removed from tho ignoble lust lor office as is the price of nu ounce of pure gold above an ounco of down trodden silver. The grand jury of this county aro bound by every consideration for decency to investigate thor oughly the charges of miscegenation made by the person whose letter is printed in tho Herald of last wook. Every respectable man in the com munities referred to i3 equally bound in the same way. General Bratton or Colonel LIp scomb would make an excellent collector of internal revenue and why the President is seriously con sidering Ben Perry or McCalla when such material is plentiful is boyond the ken of a country odi tor. Wo are inclined to think that if our Governor runs for president the chief plank of his platform will be tho entire demolition of Judge Simonton. If our "daddies" had boon depen dent on the eight million silver dollars coined in tho United States previous to 1878, we would have boon poverty stricken sons of pau pers indeed. It Is not likely that tho efforts to repeal the Sherman act will fail, but if they do,?look out and dodge quick! Lost, strayed or strangled?the Sub-treasury bill. Finder will please return to Reform Congress men. By the way, wasn't something ?nid about the governmental own ership of railroads in old times ?
