thatOMM Moral Institution which was s: To Curtain Liquor Drinking. “HUNTER “Trade (Horae) Mark “BALTIMORE RYE Bottled by “WM. LANAHAN & SON Baltimore. “Readers of the News, do you know what the above means? Have you any curiosity to know? Do you think you have any interest in Hunter’s Baltimore Rye? Let us see about this. Here is the story. A.few days ago a romineot citizen of OreenviDe eard that the dispensary was selling a certain brand of whis key and with each bottle sold a pack of playing cards was given to the purchaser. He was not entirely satisfied with the state ment and decided to find out for himself as to the truth of the matter. He sent to the dis pensary and made a purchase and his messenger returned with the liquor and a pack of cards. Yesterday he handed the pack of cards to b represen tative of The News. On the back of each card is printed the advertisement which is printed at the head of this column. Are you interested in this story? You good people who believed that the establishment of the dispensrry solved the long dis puted liquor question—what think you now? How do you like the idea of your sons buying whiskey, 'get ting the cards and hiding in some back room where they can drink and play poker—drink State whiskey and gamble with State cards and reel home late at night? That is a chromo out of sight. The dispensary was launched and heralded as a great moral institution. Its advocates ranted and raved and denounced barrooms and saloons and pic tured the beauties of the-sys- tem and appealed to moral and religious, sentimtnt, and by whip and spur of Tillman, Evans & Co., the law was rushed through. “It was claimed that any system was better than the bar room, that peonle would drink whiskey, and it was better for the State to furnish a chemical ly pure article at a reasonable price and that the sale would be confined to such persons as were not liable to abuse the privilege of handling and drink ing State liquor. “It did not take long to find out that the State was in the business for a profit and that every means have been used to push and increase trade.”— Greenville New*. The Cotton Tie Business. The following wsa issued yeeterdsy Columbia, 8- C. Nov. 10,1898. To the Farmers of the Cotton States: During the past year We have been oppressed by a merciless trust that has forced up the price of cotton ties until their use was becoming a question of se rious consideration. The fact of a com bination existing was not made public until it was toe late to materially aid ourselves for the season new nearly past, but we made some progress look Ing to the adoption of other means with which to hind cotton bales—our sole and only object being to defeat the cot ton tie trust. And whereas, through the efforts of Mr. William W. Bierce, of New Or leans, the trust has been forced to aban don its purpose and the price of ties is fast being restored to their nominal value; we entreat and urge upon all the farmers of the Southern States te give to Mr. Bierce their earnest support in his further endeavors to keep up the campaign against the trust by insisting that their 'merchants handle ties 'not heretofore affiliated with any trust; and we for our own State, do take the ini tial step by pledging ourselves to give to Mr. Bierce the worthy support hie de serves. D. P. Dotscah, Manager Farmers Alliance Exchange of South Carolina. Both Tha Bold aud Silver Men Too Reckless In Their Charges Against Each Other. The charge that trusts and corpo rations are playing the part of hypo crites, financiers are selling the Na. tiou’s financial independence for their own personal profit, and that corpora tions and employers have practiced coercion for the purpose of determin ing the election, are very serious charges. Mr. Bryan should be called on for specifications—names, dates, individuals. It is our well-considered judgment that the chargee on both sides are nonsense; that, while there are a few men in the United States who would be glad to repudiate both personal and National obligations if they ooold make any money out of repudiation, and some controlling spirits in a very few corporations who are equally ready to defy the law themselves and to ery "anarchist'’ in order to arouse prejudice against those who would compel them to obey the law, there is no basis in fact for eifher the charges Implied by Mr. McK inley or publicly preferred by Mr. Bryan. The gold standard is not a conspiracy; the charge that it is so is not to be taken seriously. From before the days of Ricardo to the present time the ablest thinkers have been divided into two schools—bime' talliats and monometallUts. and for the first to call the second conspira tors and the second to call the first repndiationists is as flat an absurdity as similar name-calling would be be tween free-traders and protectionists, or, for that matter, between Copernt- cans and Pfolemaists. As tc the charge of coercion, we ha ye yet to learn of a single wall-authenticated ease of coercion. The charge invol ves employer and employed in a com mon condemnation, aince It assumes that the first are corruptionists and the second are cowards. Compared with Mr. Altgeld’s hysterical ptoela* mation, however, the papers of Mr. McKinley and Mr. Bryan are exem plary specimens of judicial calmness and Christian courtesy. Mr. Altgeld’s address to the Democrats of Illinois is either a deliberate appeal to the Wont passions of bis constituency or it is the fevered utterance of a disap pointed politician who has lost his temper as well as his office. It is best dismissed in silence.—Outlook. J. B. law vs. T. Eugene McCullough et al.
