^Inclined to do it. There is not e
paper in South Carolina, that advo

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.

Granting for the sake of argument
that both these measures would le

be safely asserted that so long as we
have a high Protective Tariff, noth

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

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.

The Freeman believes Dr. J. W.
Ntokes, the 1'resident of the State Al
liance, to be a thoroughly devoted
patriot, laboring for the end of good
government for all he is worth, and
lie is worth much to any cause, by
reason of his high moral character,
sustained energy, systematic and ]K‘i-
sistent work and unusual intelligence
and culture. 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
