LAURENH, S. C, Mar. 19, 1002. The Trouble Over Reciprocity. Lack of harmony among our Repub lican friends in Congress seems to be growing apace. Five separate and dis tinct conferences on tho Cuban Reci procity bill have brought about no defi nite results. Tbis division in the ranks of the majority?and the con tending forces 8oem to be Irreconcila ble on this Tariff question?affords the leaders much anxious worry. They know that this family row must be settled or there will be serious objec tions raised at the polls this fall. They aro very well aware, too, that the late President McKinley favored the meas ure and that President Roosevelt is a supporter of it, and not to carry out their avowed policy means trouble. Hut the "infant Industries" must be looked after, and besides, their whole doctrine of "Protection" conflicts with the bill. Howover tboy seem to attach moro importance to this "cplit" than it i8ontltIed to There is always a way out of the holo somehow, and even if they do not como together, they should not fear the Democratic party until it becomes more solidly aligned. That old motto "United we stand, dovided we fall" is a very good oue sometimes, but in this insta"ce they must have forgot*-?n that fher 1 i* a co tain W. J. Bryan, rt presenting a certain faction; th itthe- e i.-> a ccrt.dn Dave Hill stand ing for something eUe, and that the Hon. Grovei- Cleveland is not exactly dead. Then your Undo Adiai Steven son is not a back number. However much they may worry over the Reci procity measure they are very likely to do at least 20 por cent of their plain duty, and oven if they fail in that, the Democratic party, wo are sorry to say, Is not yet In a position to secure certain victory. Free trade relations with Cuba would probably help the South, and we do not believe it would injure any of the moniod interests of the North. Now that little trouble in the Philipines, which they have been telling us for two or three years would soon bo over, is a moro serious matter than this Reciprocity business, and one more likely to react against them. It is strikingly similar to Banquo's Ghost?it won't down. Those confer ences are sufficiently amusing anyway, and it is not reported that Teddy is losing any sleep over them. * * * The war against the Boers still goes on. It reminds us of that seven years war Britain waged against the thir teen united colonies, which resulted in the establishment of this mighty na tion, and in this war the same inglorious results to British urms seem probable. Lately these God-fearing psalm-sing ing, devoted Burghers captured Me theun, a British ofllcer, and because he was seriously wounded, magnanimous ly and graciously released him to be cared for by his own men. Nothing tho British havo done equals this for its humaneness or magnanimity. And strange to say, our great Government refuses to ask tho British authorities permission to a1 low private parties to send supplies to suffering humanity In South Africa. On the face of it, pri vate parties are allowed to sell mules to tho British army officials for use In this very war. It is possible that the greed for gold?the chaso for the al mighty dollar?has so everlastingly taken hold of us that all our altruistic sentiments, humanitarian sympathies have been crushed in the ceaseless mill of monopolistic corporations, trusts, etc., that, we cannot awaken to the needs of tho suffering and oppressed? Rome, Greeco, Carthage and Spain fell, and the United States-, we ask quo vadUf V Carrie Nation has subsided; the Schley-Sampson controversy is settled; tho Crown Prince has gone baek home; the excitcmont over tho fisticuff in the Unitod Statos Senate has quieted down; Nephew Jim hasn't had anything to say lately; Mrs. vtone has been releas ed by tho Brigand*; and we can breath a little easier. However, the Charles ton Exposition, the best ever held South of Mason and Dixon's line, still attracts attention as it deserves to. The 20th inst , Carolina day will bring thousands of our people together in hietorio old Charleston, and they can learn from, as well as marvel, at the South's wonderful industrial expansion. Every man, woman and ohild in I.au reus county should take in the Expo sition and Charleston. The politloal caldron throughout the State, and the county as well, is begin ning to simmer. The candidates are already numerous for eaeh and every ofllco, and by the time tho campaign opens up, tbey will be as thick as tho stars. It is hoped the best men win be elected to office. This State needs to be rid of the two-by-four politician and fiery tounged designing demo goguo. When strong, clean, honest, broadmlnded men, mon of force and character, are placed In the high offices of dignity and trust, we will have peace and harmony, and can work out our industrial destiny with greater confidence and ease. ? ? * The Beet Sugar Industry is raising a mighty howl abc rcduolng the Cuban Tariff, Its champions assert that if Reciprocity be granted, such as Is con templated, this Industry will be wiped off the face of tho Earth. Yet nearly fifty millions addltionul capital Is about to go Into beet sugar manufacturing. How then is it porsiblo that the field is so inviting If thero is no profit In It? We do not' marvel at this argument, we think it is absurd. Now that ex Gov. Altgold, of Illinois, is dead, the press throughout the country are saying just lots of fine things about him. They took occasion while he yet lived to score him for al most every political sentiment he ever uttered; but he was of that strong, hardy type that oared not for the plaudits of men, and feared not the consequences to himself when his duty to the public convinced him that certain acts wero wise and expedient. He was an independent, candid man, having the courage of bis convictions, and as ? fitting finale to his rugged, up hill life, ho died just after delivering a powerful pro-Boer argument. He was a splendid example of a self-made man. ??? The Charleston Exposition seems to be growing in popularity as it truly deserves to do. The attendance we are informed is dally increasing. To morrow is Carolina Day, and 'it be hooves every man, woman and child who can possibly do so, to be there at that time. Every person who has vis ited the Exposition proolaims it to be the best ever held in the South. It is an education in itself, for nowhere else can ono learn, of the resources, progress and possibilities of this South lend of ours better than at this great industrial Exhibition. It shows what marvelous advances we have made and what wonderful strides In the march of progress we can and undoubtedly will make from now on. ?** The decision of the United States Supreme Court that declared the Illi nois Anti-Trust law unconstitutional because the farming and wool indus tries were not included in the scope of its operations, effectually makes waste paper of similar laws in thirteen other States, our neighbors, Georgia and North Carolina being among them. This proves that tho farming class of our people are not only the backbone of our Republic, but that the legislator who would not have his law become an historical relic, must not omit the farmer from bis considerations. He must realize that the farmer Is of moro consequence than some people seem to think. Our goverment is about to vacate Cuba, and let the Islanders work out thter destiny for themselves. It strikes us that the Cubans were not bettered in their condition very mate rially when they chanced to have the yoke of Spain taken from them and placed under the maternal care ot this great government. They are hardly bettor off In the "frying pan" than they were in the ??fire " At any rate when our military regime has finished with them there will be scarcely any blood left in the turnip. Our older citizens may remember something about a carpet bag rule. *?* The Senate has passed the Ship Sub sidy Bill by a vote of 42 to 31. Thus a big steal is sanctioned. The ship com panies may new stick their paws into the treasury and take out a handsome slice of that surplus. It seems to have bothered the Republicans anyhow, but possibly their fears will be assuaged when they see the raids made on Uncle Sam's Btrong box. Senator McLaurln voted for the measure. That fact, however, is not startling. ? * ? The past week has been favorable to work on the farms. From the amount of commercial fertilizers hauled away from here every day, we would think think the cotton acreage will bo fully as large, if not larger, than usual. We should bear in mind that a very large cotton crop at 6 cents is about as bad as a half crop at 9 cents. Diversified farming will p\v better. Congress has done one sensible thing lately at any rate. It decided not to put the Rural Free Delivery under the contract system. Doubtless had it done so the Star Route scandals would have been repeated, and the service which is now surpassing all expecta tions, would have been seriously im paired. ?** A line of 5 to 7 cents Outings to go at 4cts, as long as they last.
