D«es Track Farming Payt
The following statement is not
very encouraging to those who have
an idea of going into the raising of
vegetables for the Northern markets.
The only way in which it can be
made to pay is by very early ship
ments, before the vegetables are
ready in the North. We learn that
one of our farmers shipped fifty 1 ar-
rels and lost ten dollars by the opera
tion:

Committee.
The Canpaiga Meeting an Thurs
day.
It would be impossible to have a
more orderly meeting than the one
held here on the 21st, und the people
of the county, irrespective of faction,
deserve the highest praise for the at- j
tention and courtesy that was ex-j
tt-nded to all the speakers; and no
matter how the electa n goes,
all the candidates will have pleasant,
recollei tons of their reception in
Darlington. Of course there was, at
times a good deal of cheering, but
it was simply an expression of feel
ing, and was not intended in the
slightest degree to interrupt or an
noy the speakers. So far as we
could judge every man seemed deter
mined to keep order, and this being
the case there was not the least dis
turbance.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. Simpson Jones, after
which Mr. J. N. Parrott, the County
Chairman, introduced Col. W. P.
Murphy, the Consarvative candidate
for Attorney General. Mr. Parrott
in making this introduction made an
earnest appeal that all the speakers
be heard, and we take pleasure in say
ing that he presided over the meeting
with strict impartiality, and in this
won the respect of both factions.
Col. Murphy made a strou*, log
ical and convincing speech, exposing
the broken promises and shortcom
ings of the present administration in
such a merciless manner, that Mr.
Tindall who spoke after him, we
won’t say replied as he made no pro-
teuse of doing this, was very careful
not to touch on thepointsso unanswer
ably presented by Col. Murphy, but
confined himself to a general disser
tation on the farmers movement, and
the good work that, according to the
speaker, it was doing for the benefit
of the agricultural classes. Mr.
Tindall was dignified, and in this
presented a striking contrast to Gov
ernor Tillman and Attorney General
McLaurin, but his whole speech was
weak, made up of generalities, and
neither logical or convincing.
Aside from the merits of the con
troversy it is unfortunate for Mr,
Tindall that he should have to fol
low such a logical. md forcible
speaker as Col. Murphy, and his own
friends must be strangely blind if
they do not mark the contrast.
Even the Governor complimented
Col. Murphy and said his speech was
a very strong oue.
At the conclusion of Mr. Tindall’s
speech, Mr. Sheppard, the Conserva
tive candidate for Governor, was in
troduced, and delivered one of the
most logical, dignified and unanswer
able 8Deech?s that we have ever
heard, and that too without for one
moment forgetting \:hr.t was due to
himself and the office for which he
is a candidate. He showed very un
mistakably that the trouble with the
farmers was not on account of any
thing that the State Government
could correct, but that relief must
come from the National Government,
in the way of removing the unjust
burdens under which they labor. He
ment o led the immense amount,
about five or six millions, that was
wrung from the people of our State
by the workings of the McKinley
Tariff, and proved how useless it was
to expect relief-nntil this Tariff was
removed. His exposure of the in
consistencies of Governor Tillman
was a strong arraignnunt of the
present udmihistration, and he did
not make a single statement that he
was not p.-epared to prove. He
called attention to the charge, made
during the last campaign, of rotten
ness and corruption in the State
Government, and defied Gov. Till
man to prove that the State had lost
a single dollar since 1876, through
the dishonesty of any of its officials.
He drew a graphic picture of the
danger arising from the reflections
cast on the judiciary by the Gov
ernor, and the deplorable conse
quences that would result from hav
ing judges under the control of the
chief executive of the State. He ve
hemently denied that he stood forth
as the representative of capital and
corporations, and very conclusively
proved that the charge was made for
political effect. The speech taken as
a whole was just such as his ad
mirers looked for, and but for the
strength of political prejudice, would
have carried conviction to the heart
of every intelligent man who heard
it; spoken as it was by a man whose
public and private life are above re
proach, and who evidently was sin
cere in every word that he uttered.
Gov. Tillman was then introduced,
and received with great applause and
enthusiasm on the part of his follow
ers. He commenced his speech by
saying that he felt sick and thought
that he had some fever at the time.
Despite this he was in much better
humor than when he spoke at Flor
ence and his speech was not near so
vindicative and bitter as the one he
delivered at our sister town. There
is no better stump speaker in the
State than Mr. Tillman, and the
very curl of his lip and tone of his
voice can make a very commonplace
thing sound ver)* sarcastic and cut
ting. Despite all this he is evident
ly at a disadvantage in acting on the
defensive, and could not meet the
charges made against his adinistra-
t on or refu'e the inexorable logic of
Sheppard’s speech. The Governor
was artful, insidious and, to those
unaccustomed to think, persuasive,
but his speech, subjected to the
clear analysis of truth and reason,
would be fouud to be fallacious, and
not at all creditable to the speaker
or to his personal administration of
the State Government Mr. Tillman
strongly advocated the $3 poll tax,
and took his usual hand primary on
the subject Of course the response
was very prompt and all of his sup
porters voted in favor of the in
creased tax; which by the way, out
side of the merits of the case, was in
consistent to vote to put an addi
tional tax ou the farmer, wheu they
now complain that they are paying
more than their proportion of the
taxes.
Col. Youmans was the next speak
er and he made a masterly defense of
Sheppard’s record, and proved that!
Tillman’s political record had been!
a serhs of contradictions and incon
sistencies.
Attorney General McLaurin was
the last speaker and he kept the
crowd in a good humor, and made
them laugh by his hits at Col. You
mans. Mr. McLaurin has ability
and is a most admirable stump
speaker, but is entirely lacking in
dignity, and seems to have no con
ception of what is due to himself or
the high office that he holds. As it
is probable that nearly all of our
readers were present the meeting we
deem it unnecessary to do more than
give a mere outline of the sp^ckes.
We were opposed to having the meet
ing, solely on the ground of the great
political animosity now existing, but
we are now glad that it was held,
for if it has done nothing else it has
proved that the people of Darlington
do not allow political differences to
make them forget the common rules
of decency and courtesy.
The daily papers report some in
terruptions, but they were so unim
portant that we have not thought it
necessary to inquire into them, as
they in nowise reflect on the very
general good order that prevailed.
In fact we had no personal knowl
edge that there were any interrup
tions.
Every precaution was taken to
preserve order, and tne Chief of
Police was on hand with a strong
force, but they had nothing to do.
There was not a single arrest made
during the day, and we heard of only
one man that was drunk.
AN ADDRESS
by an unjust system ^ distributing
the benefits and burdens of public
institutions.
Statesman of all parties, while suh-
cribing to the fundamental doctrines
of our government, are found advocat
ing measures and parties subversive
of them. For a score of years they have
been planting seeds throughout our
industrial and commercial system
utterly at variance with the doctrim
of equal rights. To-day we art
cursed with privileged classes,exist- 1
ing by virtue of legal enactments, to
as great a degree as many of the na
tions of Europe.
Monopoly is the arch enemy of
industry—the political monster of
modern times. It has come to be
a constant, ever present menace to
free government. It rears its head
in every field; it clutches at the
throat of every honest toiler; it besets
the public highway; it interests every
market; it is entrenched in Court
and Congress alike. As a political
force it dominates both the great
parties. Its tendencies are toward
arbitrary, despotic government; in
the absence of legal enactments it
will make a law unto itself, as is
proven a few days since at the Car
negie Steel Works, a great iron mono
poly of Pennsylvania, where a force
of 300 men, employed by another
great monopoly, are brought from a
distant State to take the law into
their hands.
The home for this great monster
is being made in this State; they are
the modern contrivances called cor
porations.
The forces of nature, the natural
products of the earth, the equal gifts
of God to all the children of men,
are walled up by the omnipresent
corporation. The goods, the rights,
the benefits made matters of corpor
ate ownership and distributed to the
few, while the many are shut out
from a fair participation.
Public instrumentalities, the rail
road, the telegraph, the financial
system, drift enormous revenues into
private coffers, while they exist under
a normal condition of public control
This condition is an economic absur
dity. No solution of the great prob
lem of equitable distribution can lie
found outside of the public owner
ship of public instruments, and
materials.
The Farmers’ Alliance, as an
organization, is the natural result
of the neglect of political parties to
consider economic questions from
the standpoint of merit rather than
of party advantage. The farmers
have become weary with the long-
drawn quarrels over the minute and
barren contests of mere place-hunt
ers.
The animosities of a contest
fought to a finish many years ago
ought to have been buried long ago,
and would have been except for the
partizans who found political capital
in keeping alive the enmities and
jealousies of the sections against each
other The bloody shirt waves at
the North m d West, the big generals
at the South.
The Alliance seeks to unite the
people into one harmonious nation
with equal rights for all. The agri-
cult iral South, West and Northwest
must and will combine to protect
themselves against the capitalistic
East, whose burdens bear us to the

The duties of the farmer include
very much more than the cultivation
of the land and the production of
crops. Upon him, more than upon
any one else, depends the character
of public Institutions and the wel
fare of all classes of people. With
him mainly rests the responsibility
of good or bad government. There
is a great awakening among us in
matters pertaining to our rights and
duties.
The Farmers’ Alliance is the re
sult off the dissatisfaction produced

earth. We srek to limit the power
and curb the rapacity of corporations.
We seek to reform the industrial sys
tem, to the end that products of in
dustry may be fairly distributed.
Our task will not be finish till these
results are accomplished. The Alli
ance was not born in a night nor
will it perish in a day.
We ask the farmers and mechan
ics of our country; who are the ene-
uies of the Alliance to-day? Who
aave thrown off their mask and are
to-day fighting the principles we hold
so dear? Their name is legion, their
power immense. The party news
paper, almost without exception, the
great dailies of the money centres.
The press has come to be for the
most part business enterprise, run
for the money or political plunder.
Its influence is for sale. It manu
factures public sentiment on con
tract. Thoroughly venal and mer
cenary, it would strangle the Alli
ance anti its principles for the money
to be had of the plutocrat and the
corporation. The usurping shylocks,
without exception, are its enemies.
The business exploiter and gambler
in futures, the party leader and
chronic office-holder would all re
joice at our downfall, and finally the
great mass of the people of all occu
pations, who refuse or neglee to think
for themselves, but drift along in
the current of party politics. The
education and conversion of this
great class is rapidly going on, and
their conversion is the great ami
only hop* for the future of our
country. To this great class of hon
est but indifferent men, we ask you
to give our principles and demauds a
fair and impartial examination. If
we are right and there is cause for
the alarm we have sounded, help ns
with your sympathy and votes. For
at the ballot box must the great
fight b# peacefully determined.
We call the attenti m of all patri
otic citizens to the indifference, neg
lect and most traitorous conduct of
your servants sent to represent ns in
Congress. The House of Represen-
ttjtivee, with a large majority, has
failed utterly to carry out a single
pledge to the people. With a few
worthy and remarkable exceptions
from this State and Georgia, the
House has often been without a
quorum when matters of importance
to the people were to be passed upon.
The presence of our lamented
Brother, General Stackhouse, is sadly
missed, for he was one of the few
worthy and determined foes to mo
nopoly who could always be found at
roll call ready and willing to do his
whole duty. As the Alliance heartily
endorsed this noble farmer as a rep
resentative man, so we pledge the
people of the Sixth District to en
dorse as his successor one worthy in
every respect to take up his task and
finish it.
We see in the organized effort to
destroy this great reform movement
the head of the monster, monopoly,
the money power and the corporation.
To the honest and conscientious com
mon people who will not be blinded
by sham party battlers, and kept in
ignorance of the great economic con
ditions under which we live, we ap
peal with confidence; we do not fear
the result, for victory is already in
our grasp in this good State, and we
believe will follow in duo season all
over our great republic.
