Xfe&ets of tba "Demanda" - Wisasboro News and Herald. I tot? md with interest the Ocala platform, printed in your columna RC the request of tb? Blythewood Alli? ance. Aa jon cay, it raises barning i|in?*iias, and akooJd be read with the greatest care, not only by ali votera, bot by all who have a cent of property or an iota of patriotism. lt w? not do either to accept or re? ject these demands as a whole with? out earnest stcdy of then. Some of theta raise munee that have been mooted a long time and are still un settled problems among the leading economist* and statesmen of the wonuv I propose simply to ask some quos ? ceder to attract attention to ot these demands, of your paper can an ?Al) After aQ k ?ot goremment a eompromiae? There is scarcely aay good mnaanrn without its atteo tetera troth that becomes more apparent the moxe it is studied, and the wier nt legislation is that which secaresTas much good with as little eril ac pceeible.. More than this cannot be expected. The statesman who ta cock sure ja? any measure often meeta with disappointment when theory is pot into practice. National" bani? hare their good prints awl thew Ital ones. For those who desire a redeemable bank cur? rency the systea of national banks is the best that has ever been devised ia thia country, lt was copied from the New York law, and it might be applied to this State, if Congress weald abolish tho tax on Slate bank circulation. Its power to control the money market ta rather an incident o? capital than of ary special form of] banking. The repeal of the tax on , Skate banks would destroy the mo urpoly* without closing the banks as banks of deposit. The redemption of United States hoads ia rapidly reducing national bank circulation, so that their bills are ere? now bat a small part of our; ccrreacy, and will probably ere long practically disappear, thoa removing the obnoxious ..feature'.' altogether. 'Thee arises the question whether the system, goarded as it is against fraud *jy stringent laws, might be retained Tor*e deposit and discount business. sSaeald it be swept away before good ?State banks are established ? For it ?asst be remembered, that -those peo *xha are not so fortunate as to come in ender the sob treasury plan most: hewe somewhere else to borrow from. (B ) Gan the government loan ?lOneyatS per cent., when iudivid ?ata cannot without loss? Who most bear the loss? The people at| large? Bot the people at large are ?ot allowed to borrow. Must they bear lom where they reap no benefit? Why then not let everybody In the land borrow on the same terms ? If I I have a gin factory fell of ga?*, ought ?at I to have the right io raise money on them as Weil as on the cotton that goes through them ? Ought not the sscrchaat ?jae allowed to borrow on 'hw stock of goods in order to tide overa tight time instead of pressing h? customers ? ls ft right to make hw pay rO or 12 per cent when the government, which is his government aa mach as anybody else's, is supply? ing bia neighbor at 2 per cent ? If I teach school, or sit on a jury, and re? ceive a war cant on the county treas? ury which la empty, because ti ie- peo? ple are not ready to pay taxes, ought j not the government discount this j public daba as well as advance money on private property ? ls 'plan" that doesn't cover ail these clart?s of persons consistent with that fondamental and best plank of| ?ne whole platform,4'Equal rights to afi and special privileges to none ?" Is abe privilege of borrowing at 2 per cent., when an equally estimable neighbor bas to pay 10 or 12 for his loon, a special privilege or not? 1 ask nothing about the practical working ot the sob-treasury plan,. for ! bave ?ot been able to leam exactly what the plan is that is now advo? cated inrtead of the bili. <C } Why ?hooJd we demand $50 uer capita in ?niteiLSt?es-csrrency ? j ls this to be in addition to the $3,' 1 000,000,000 advanced through ? the anb-treasuries ? How shall all this money be kept in circu? lation after the farmers pay back their loans to the government ? If, as ia claimed, the pi ice of commodities depends on the amount of money ir circulation, will a cow be worth $100 in the fall, ween ail this money is afloat, and only $50 in lite spring, when half this elastic currency has been covered hack into the treasury ? This is a very pretty question. If England, the richept country m the world, gets along with about $20 a head, why do we need more than twice as much ? Why should the re? lation anyhow be between dollars and mea instead of between dollars and business? Do 9.000 colored rice hands on our coast need as many dol? lars as tho same number of men in trade in Charleston or New York ? What allowance may be made for the nae of bank checks as money ? In . " it truer that only 3 per cent, of trade ia England, and 8 pet cent, in the United States is transacted in money, and the rest by checks and book settlements? Does this teach that, instead of much mote government Money, we need many more good banka in which people may make de? posits and check against them, allow? ing one check io pass through seve? ral transactions, by which means th* people can regulate their own busi ncaa without calling ou the govern? ment to stretch its powers to a very dangerous extent, and eau secure practically that elastic medium which the government cannot furnish, . it seems, without going into the bro? kerage business ? 2. The trade in futures has been carried io a great excess and has of? ten injured business. So far as it is used for purely speculative purposes, H is a great curse. But is the evil inherent in the system itself, or is it but an incident ? What special harm is there in a farmer a making a con? tract with a buyer to sell his crop to him ii?; .the fall at a fixed rate ? Shall a farmer he prevented from se? curing advances in Charleston on the promise of shipp:ng so many bales at foeh and anch a price, and then, if Le preter2, paying the price instead tv II 1 III ?. of delivering the cottdtfK Shal manufacturer not be permitted contract to deliver a certain non of bales of cloth to China in months ? These are in principle ci&Ay tile rame as the transact on Wal! ?tree?. There may be a sharp set of cate in Wall Street, but may tl not be an equally sharp set of rase perhaps with antagonistic inter to watch them ? Each crowd has army of correspondents through land gathering crop statistics, tween the two most accurate rep< are \ obtained. And the Pairf farmer can if he inquires, learn much about the crop as anybody e The price after all, in the long arm regulated by demand and sup] Sometimes the yield ba?les all ca! lation, as, far instance this year ; it can easily be'seen how much wi the speculation would if there 1 not been this systematic collector statistics. Years ago there was least fifteen cents a pound differ ci in the price of cotton at Winnsb and New Yorkl What is 4he-^if euee to-day ? When we choke "the gamblers" we throw the burd of collecting factoron- the. gore ment, croo the producers th?mselv who hare other work to do. It cc money to gf^cr^?^ and people mustr pay^e4ther directry .tax or . subscription or., indi rec through prices. Furthermore, view of the present greaj glut of c ton, is it not probable that the pr is kept inhere it is, only because a of speculators have been tia ag-it futures and are bnllm^f^he marl to save themselves from ruin ? Oth wise; tfiere is no special reason w cotton now on hand should be sold i all. Here is proof again, it seer i that even an evil often has its co pens?t ing good. To prevent sales of futures altoge er wo?W be to paralyze all ere transactions ; for unless the law be absolutely bombproof as lo preve all future sales - whatever, it will 1 come a dead letter ; as. sharpers ? find some loophole for escape. It a dangerous stretch of power in government fl> tell a man he shall i buy anything for future delivei Laws, too, may lie imperative, bi unless upheld bys public1 opinic juries will not enforce them. Woe I it not be better to' endeavor to reg late such -sates than forbid them ? 3. Th?Vesent Silver Act of Ct gr?as does these things : First, it kee the silver dollar on a par with the gc dollar, when the bullion is 25 cet cheaper. Second, it ?dds about $7< 000,000 a year to our currenc Third,'it nses aft the silver th is mined iir this fcou?try.; Fonrt it gives the government, that TS tl people at large, all the profits arish from coining 75 cents worth of s?lv bullion into a dollar coin. What there in all this to "condemn ?" Sn pose the free coinage ?sf silver, whi< ia "demanded/' would take the pr St Jaf coi ??age froi? the public ai give it to the silver miners, j|u#"i low Europe and Mexico to "dump their surplus silver over here at big profit and then ruu the risk having our gold leave the country, lot of silver dollars remaining wii ^Sj-^rich we call dollars, but whk the world refuses to consider i ; worth a dollar when we go to pay f< our imports, would Chis be a m nc ! better law than the one that has bec condemned ? This is what very man of the leading economists of tl world, even of those who are nt "goldbugs," believe would be the ? feet of free .coinage of silver in tb United States. 4. Alien ownership of land is tx coming an ev il/that is toaay,towiie ship Of laige tracts of land^f We ma consider wlielkei it isbWert^hav no market for land or to eell it 1 some foreigner. For instance, is better to leave the Catawba watc I power undeveloped or sell it to a ; English syndicate ? Had we rathe j do withemt a railrood in Fairfield tba allow foreign capital to build and ow ! it ? If ah Englishman comes alon ! and offers yon ten dollars an acre fe a farm which yon have been unabl to sell to a fellow-citizen for five do lars would you think ihe law forbh ding alien ownership of land a goo or abad thing? After a syndicat had developed Catawba Falis woul you be willing to tax yourself to ei able the State to acquire it hy sal from alien owners ? Do you desire t increase your taxes to enable tb general government to "take posset sion" of millions of acres of alien an railroad lands in Colorado and Wye ming? This is whit the fourth "dc mand" means, lt is well to undei stand it. 5. The fifth plank is admin hie in general and in detail It condemns class legislation, th fostering of one industry at the ei pense of others, and a high tariff and it demands a graduated incom tax and economical government. The only objection to an incom tax is that people will not tell th truth to the tax-gatherer, and cairne bc caught at their tibs. This is a ver deplorable charge, but is almost tatt to the p!au Are we all sure that w would report our incomes truth fully If there is any cheating, the bigges rascal gets off the lightest. 6 The demand for governmen supervision of railroads is a just one They enjoy great priviliges and ow a proper service to the public. Th question of governmental owncr6hi| of railroads is a most difficult one The value of all the railroads in th? JUiiion is put at about $9,000,000,00? this year. The census of ISftO ?av. the va ue of all the farms in the EJnioi at $10,000.000,000. Their presen value I have not seen stated, lt cai be seen, however, that to pinchas* the roads, therefore, would requin almost the full farm values on th? country At 3 p^r cent, the inter?s on this purchase would bc $270,000, 000. Would the railroads, aftci paying all costs of management return this ? How many railroad* pay dividends to day i Wonk they bring more money to the gov ernment than to the stockholders when thc ? Lject of owning them is t< make rates cheaper? Would thc government appoint managers foi business for political reasons and change them with every election \ Would the South Carolina Repub? lican leaders manage our road? better than Inman, Mc Bee or Andrews 1 Which ofthe?e would Harrison ap? point. 7. Why Should United Stales Sen atois be elected by the people ? To pre* eut bribery aud corruption, ci cooree. Will this evil be prevented I by throwing the election into the hands of the people ? In what way ? When Stanford or Jones or Stewart wants a seat in the Senate, it matters tittle to him whether he buys enough votes at the polls to elect him direct? ly or enough to elect legislators who will elect him indirectly. If a voter will send a bribe taker to the Legisla? ture, what will prevent him from sending a bribe giver to the United States Senate ? The election of Har? rison, it is ciaimed, came through a purchase of voters at the polls, not of Presidential electors. Stanford must now control the whole State of Cali? fornia. It would be easier and cheaper for bim to be able to confine his effort? to his own election alone Is it not easier to corrupt a State nominating convention, whose mem? bers assemble for a day and then dis? solve, than to corrupt a Legislature ? Where public opinion sanctions cor roption does it matter in what form the election comes T if any one examines the Constitu? tion and the debates in the Constita ?onal Convention he will see that the provision regarding Senators is a fundamental feature of our Govern? ment. The Senate represents the State in its corporate capacity, the Ilouse represents the people. The State elects through its Legislature, tte people choose their representa? tives directly. The seventh demand of the Ocala platform would wipe out this recognition of State rights. Is it worth while to make this change when there is no certainty of attain? ing the desired end, which is to secare a purer form of electing Sena? tors? . Let mc not be understood as op? posing all the measures to which I have shown objections. But since there are so many oratora engaged in portraying the brightest features of the Ocala platform, it is well for some one to call attention to some of its possible defects. R. MEAXS DAVIS.
