Ml I DAY, MAY 23, 1S71?.
Rings und their Cure.
Kings and monopolies are the
blighting frosts ol' freedom and pros
perity. Capital legitimately used is a
blessing to the masses, but when
capitalists band together, and not
only construct monopolies, but actu
ally control the legislation of tho
land, as il has been in the United
Stales since the advent of Republi
ifltiunt, the people may well tremble
for their liberties.
The monster rings of Northern
centres sweep everything in their
rrgal train, and none dare oppose in
their overawing presence. Nor is
this all. Their evil is not confined to
their own bounds, but perineales
every section of our 1-iud. Small
rings spring up in the little to wus
and hamlets and unpretending com
munities everywhere under their all
pervading influence and backing.
? pace forbids us from touching
urcn the terrible effects of rings und
monopolies in degrading public vir
tue, and their grinding, cruelty to the
poor. This would constitute a theme
in itself.
But their n ost apparent effect to
tho public mind is the unsettling of
labor, and the deleterious influence
upon the industry of the country
Their effect is to create discontent
with one's lot, and a general desire !
to n.ake money without labor. Men
therefore rush lrom the fields and
flock to the tow us and cities to make
their fortunes without work. Specu
lation then becomes rife, tho fields
arc comparatively abandoned, and
the aggregate production, and of
couree prosperity of the country is
materially diminished. Statistics !
fchow that the proportion of the non
producing inhabitants of our towns
niul cities to the producers in the
fields is out of all reason.
Uhis state of things is ow ing to the
unsettled feeling nnd spirit of over
specu'ation generated with the Repub
lican ascendency. 'J he apparent mer
cantile prosperity of the land has all
becu a delusion.
Like a bubble, it glitters for n
while, hut is eure to burst, in fact,
we witness the bursting now as things
are settling upon their true basis.
Most of our troubles are the result
of rings and monopolies and nothing is
harder to break, especially w hen they
have a political welding, which is
almost always the case.
Political rings are so adroitly con
cealed from the people that they are
made to believe that they arc
their benefactors. Few daro oppose
or attempt to expose them, because
the cunning wire pullers will find it
very easy to fasten upon any such
the motive of self interest, and thus
kill off their influence.
There is but one hope for the
country, nnd that is for the yeomanry,
the fanners, ' the bone and sinew" of
the land to rise in their might and
throw off the yoke which money
kirgs nnd political tricksters arc
almost imperceptibly but surely
weltling around their necks.
If the jecmaniy of the country
quietly sleep on their rights and givo
up the reins which they should hold
to monopolists, wo confess that the
future of our country is by no means
bright.
Let them arise and assert their
rights as freemen,, realizing that
"eternal vigilauco is tho price of
liberty."
The Situation.
Most of the papers of the State nnd
country have been urging the Demo
crats in Congress with much ve
hemence to relusc the appropriations
and have their way, and now that
sober reflection is returning to our
representatives, and their .advice is
in prot-pect of being disregarded,
they don't like it, and have a gi at
deal to tay about more "backbone"
nnd no ' backdown." Now, if they
say that some of ovir Representatives
in < v?>.r.-.??-- .n.i wrong i o deceive the
i ustiug us to what
tided to do, we agree with
; ousting never djas any good,
I and is ellensivo to men who quietly
do what they propose. A man that
boasts is like pouring water out of a
bottle, the loss it has in it ths mo re
noise it makes.
But if these papers want the
Democrats in Congress to refuse
appropriations and rush into a
dilemma which may lose them every
Northern ?Stato in 1880, simply bo
cause an opposite course may be
construed as a "backdown," wc con
less that we have little taste for ouch
u liixu- y. We claim that the Demo
crats are guilty of no backdown, but
ore doing their whole duty, Wc
claim also that y/ith nil their blunder
ing they arc in a better condition to
day before the country than they have
ever been. They have fought nobly
for Constitutional government and
have done all they can to remove
bayonet rule, except stopping the
wheels of government, which the
Republicans arc so anxious now for
them to do. If they do this they will
step just where their enemies want
them, which would be the height of
folly. They have drawn the lines
sharply, and have forced the Repub
licans before the country as the party
of the bayoiu t, while they stand the
acknowledged champions of the Con
stitution. To go before the country
now would be victory; to blunder
would be defeat.
The responsibility for bayonet rule
in (brown just where it belongs, on the
Republican party.
The question in 1880 will be the
boyonct or the Constitution, and iii
view of the enormous and r apidly
increasing following of the Demo
cratic party at the North, and the
growing sentiment there in favor of
civil against military rule, no better
issue could be presented.
Ret us be wise, and not permit pride ]
of opinion to engulf us into the hor-!
rors of Giantism.
A Railroad Squabble.
A suit has been brought against
the Greenville ami Columbia Rail
Road by certain non-resident bond
holders who set furth the charter and
different legislative acts authorizing
and relating to the different mortgage
debts, and claim priority over other
creditors.
'1 he defcudantt answer by denial.-,
a plea to the jurisdiction of the Court
and a demurrer for want of parties,
the State being a necessary party and
not being made oue.
The plain till's 'ire represented by
Messrs. Mitchell & .Smith, Mr. W.
II. Brawlcy, Col. Edward McCrady
Jr., and Ex Gov. D. H.Chamberlain.
The defendant's by Ex Judge
Magrnth, Ex-,Judge Melton, Capt
\V. E. Karle, and J. N. Nathan Esq.
The argument has commenced and
it promises to be a big tight.
Congress.
Ihcie is nothing of special interest
to our people now going on in this
body. The silver Bill is under dis
cussion. The Judiciary Committee
has under consideration the submis
sion of a re port setting forth an ap
peal from the President to the people.
The Democrats also propose t,
issue an address to the people thor
oughly ex] lnining thesituation which
would be an excellent campaign
document.
It is now clearly foreshadowed
that the President will send in a
third veto on the Supervisers and U.
8. Marshall bill.
For the Orangeburg Times.
Mr. Editor:
Allow mo through your columns
to direct public opinion to a subject
which 1 esteem a matter of grave im
portance. I reler to the subject of
wearing mourning.
Unless we consider the universality
of death we nie not apt to realize the
expense that this foolish custom en
tails upon mankind. No matter how
poor a man may be, when the grim
messenger knocks at ono door, im
perious custom nips at tho other and
adds expense, and often debt to
uflliction. No matter what the cir
cumstances may be the edict goes
forth, and a change of apparel must
take placo at any cost. \YTe cannot
measure the evil and distress that
this custom brings upon the world by
consuleiing a lew individual cases
But when we consider that mankind
are continually dying, and that every
clay millions are passing away, and
that therefore tens of millions of dol
lars are every day wasted and thrown
away by this custom which could
otherwise he employed in producing
food for the starving millions, wc may
form somo idea of tho cruelty of
wearing mourning.
Aud what is the advantage of these
external decorations? Do wc love
our departed friends or relatives
more, because we are adorned in tho
costly habiliments of mourning? Or
do wc love them the less, because wo
arc not thus adorned ?
Docs genuino lovo need such re
minders of grief ?
Men are too much the slaves'of
fashion. They travel in ruts and
seldom think for themselves,
If public opinion would turn
against this useless and expulsive
custom, a vast share of the sufferings
of humanity from hard times would
be removed.
