'J'lu* fmam ial va^.irii:.- of our oor- ivsi>omleut art 1 so coiispicnously (iis- playwl in liis article, wliicli appears in this issue, that wo deem it un necessary to give it any -^x-i ilic an swer. Of course we very clHvrfully publish his article, as we propose to irive even ! o Iv a showing', but liiuinci o • • is not the strong point of our con tributor. The gentleman, whose opinion w» quote in another coluinn, says that the arguments against the pet meas ures of the reformers are very e.isyti answer, but somehow nobody seem- ^Inclined to do it. There is not e paper in South Carolina, that advo cates these measures, that will dis cuss them in a dispassionate, imper sonal way, and not substitute abuse for argument. The Xiorenee Messenger, in a very strongly written editorial, nomh.atct Hon. \V. V. Coker for Governor, and 'eels satisfied that he is the man for the place. It is supurlluous en otu part to say anything in regard to the fitness or the character of ('apt. Coker, as his reputation for ability and high Christian character is known through o it the whole S ate. Capt. Coker served the County with conspictu us ability for a number of years in the Senate, and was regarded as one of the best, if not the ablest, men in that body, on the subject of final ce. His nomination to the Senate was a greater surprise to him than to any one else. perfectly sure to bring dire disaster to the the party, in the next campaign. Granting for the sake of argument that both these measures would le of benefit to the people at large, un der ordinary circumstances, it may be safely asserted that so long as we have a high Protective Tariff, noth ing will afford ns any relief in a fi nancial way. The Tariff is the in satiable monster that devours our sub stance. and any attempt to force olher salts that would have attended the storage of cotton in them, during the present seasbn. In the first place the farmer would have received eighty dollars for every hundred dollars worth of cotton that he stored, and as the price has steadily declined, he would lack both the inclination and ability to redeem it, and as a matti-r of course the Government would 1 e compelled, when the time was up, lo sell at any price it could get. Even if the amount realized from the sale fer Infanta and Chiitiren. cover file there would issues into the Presidential campaign is undemocratic and unwise, and I he; were to sullieient to truth of this is ivognized hv even advances made on it, intelligent man in the South, except j still remain tin* interest on the cosi those who are wilfully blind. If the! of the warehouse, the insurance, pay large Democratic majority in Con-j of employees and other expenses to b ‘ met, an i either the farmer would have to lose this in addition to what he had already lost on his cotton, or the Government would have to shoulder the difference, and of course the amount so lost would have to be replace 1 by additional tixr.tion of which the farmer would have to pay his share. The loss that would have been sustained by the four counties, mentioned above, would he at least one million dollars, and that would of co irse moan just that much less money in circulation than we now- have, or what is e (uivalent to it, so nettling to bring the money. Now as some of onr contemporaries are still harping on the Ocala Demands, we will he very glad if they will publish this article and disprove th assertions it contains. Here is a splendid chance to put an opponent to confusion and they ought to make haste to avail themselves of it. Pleas - bring out your figures and show the farmer what a blessing the Suli- Treasury would have been to him this season, or stand convicted of ad vocating measures that you are afraid to discuss the practical workings of. Please don’t say that the cotton be ing stored would 1 avc kept it from being rushed on the market. It would have been in sight and that would have answered the same pur pose.

L PI MUCH. It is very much In be hoped that as Col. Darg.in, the editor of the Sumter FivoMan, lias selected the T-’iul of February as the day for the delivery of his public address at Lamar, he will feel the inspiration ol the day, and give his hearers and ad dress that will be loth patriotic and i conservative, and i.ot prostitute his undeniable gifts as an orator to sow Y* the seeds of discord and strife in the ■ ; hearts of the people. If on thecou- i trary, however, he makes use of the t occasion to thr.ist forward the un democratic and visionary demands of the Ocala platform, he will prove himself more of a politician than a patriot. The silver cranks in Congress so ‘in 1 cut on mischief and there is very great danger that tluw may suc ceed in passing the free coinage bill. Of course it can’t pass the Senate, and even if it did would he vetoed by the President, and as far as can be seen will have no effect except the very serious one of destroying the lust vestige of a chance to elect u Democratic President at the next election. The silver fanatics are perfectly aware of this, for if they are not, such an exhibition of der.se stupidity and inexcusable ignorance would he without a precedent in Congress. Thev could scarcely do the Democratic party a greater in jury if they were in the pay of the Republicans, and it is easy to imagine the joy that will prevail among the leadi rs of the latter party at such a glaring exhibition of folly on the part of their opponents. givss really w ant to do something for moral effect, they had lietb-r pass a fiow Tariff measure. Of course it won't avail anything just now, ex cept to show the policy of the party, and give the country to understand the issue on which the next cam paign would he fought. The condition of the starving in habitants of Russia is pitiable in th:- extreme, and every one ought to con tribute a little for their Iielp. Their crops, for two rears, have failed, and the poverty and distress is so great that despair and death everywhere abound. ITiless help is liberally and speelily sent, the deaths from actual starvationwill rnii up into tlie thousands. Nur- roiiiidcl as we are bv all the eoni- i’orts of life, and blessed with a mild climate and abundant harvests, it is hard for us to conceive of the abject misery and want that prevails among these people, and of the im perative duty that rests upon us to do something to help them in their din- extremity. The pangs of hungerar. so great that the most unpalatable things are converted into food, or rather the semblance of it as the in gredients, some of them, have no nutriment in them whatever. In ablition to this the climate is very cold, and the lack of food is render ed more terrible by the want of fuel I *p H g IIerald . s an climy of the Al- or the means to procure it.

N, The Freeman believes Dr. J. W.

He is a gentleman of whom we Alliance people are justly proud. We would he glad to know if our contemporary, in what it says about office seekers, excepts Dr. Stokes, and if so, w hy? If Dr. Stokes is the unselfish patriot that the Freeman makes him out, then he can’t lie a man of culture and intellect, for no one, who has made a study of Na tional finance, would advocate the impracticable and visionary features N .J!,..
