$t S?ia?t jpmii ?Qui|rga. Jfa -in _ WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 92. How it Would Work. The following is an extract from a speech by Congressman Hemphi?l at Lancaster on -lune 21st : How, there is a good deal of talk l^bout issuing money to the people from the government. That is a nice jjEte?rjk UttXJhow .are yon going to *l ?s??? it? Yon are not go?-ng to Washington for they do not know yon there. If you are to get money from the government are you to ap point im agent to get it. Who is to appoint the agent ? We know the poet masker in this town is not ap pointed by you or me. When I go *?o asV'for the appoiutment of a post master they Say we will refer you to the referee" The referee is Mr. Web ster, who knows nothing about you And yonr petition sent there for the appointment of a post-master is con sidered as so much waste paper and ink. So, if we ace to have this mon ey from the government directly we are te have it through a government agent Who is to appoint the agent? He is to be appointed by the Presi dent or his cabinet Suppose you all appoint a man to r let out money here, why gentlemen, I want to make a prediction. If any man, whether democrat or republican, has the power to let out government money for the private use of the peo pie otV this country there will never be aa election for President of the United States so long as the earth turns around. Harrison was nomi nated the other day by office-holders. There are thousands of office holders who are backing up the President of <?Ms?eopie. They go to the National j <9o?vetitio88, that they may re-nomi nate him. 1!30 of these officehold ers were there Telegrams from post amestere throughout the country were vpouring in saying you must stand by ?he president for he is the man that put me in office. If we had an agent in this country today who was letting oat money for the government for the private uses of the people there would not be a single man in this county who would refuse this man, if he wanted to go to re-nominate Har rison, for he wonld control the nomi nation and election. I have a question here propounded to me at Rock Hill. Some of my friends question my going to the far- < mers' Alliance I am not afraid of the Alliance. I have frieuds who never did and never will do me any ; harm. There are many farmers in this county who know a farmer when j they see him. This is what they : want One of the questions were: < **Are you in favor of putting the pro- ( ducere of cotton and corn on an t equality with the producers of silver and gold by letting them pledge cot- t too and land as a collateral ?" Who is a producer of cotton ? Is c It that old colored man who stands c between- the plow handles or is it the 1 jyhite mas who sits on the piazza and sg?ves orders. There is the question. < ; Should we select the producers of 1 . cotton as agaiust the producers of t tobacco or corn or a man that I heard j 4 striking in the blacksmith shop this c morning before half of you were c . awake ? Should he be excluded ? ' Yon take the Southern States now. e MVe have a population of 15,000,000 I -and the whole country's population t Se 65,000,000. Do you suppose 15,000,000 are going to influence t 65,000,000 te lend them money at o 2per cent to raise cotton when they t are now paying from 8 to 10 per cent ? i I thought that one of the mottoes of t the Alliance was 'fequal rights to all i men and special privileges to none " t I believe in it. It looks to me as if i the government of the U. S. was to t give a great feast and notify all the i people to come and get money "with- t out money and without price" and t we were to have a splendid lay out at which every citizen of this coun- I try, who is honest and upright, is to s come in and partake of this feast, that would be "equal rights to all men and special privileges to none." But, it e seems to me as if the thing is car- r tailed. I am a producer of cotton I and so they say to me "come in my friend, you are a producer of cotton t and you belong here." Que man \ comes along who is a producer of to- i bacco and they say to him, " Well, we 1 know yon are a good man and a first rate citizen but you are not a proda- < cet of cotton. You produce tobacco j and we cannot let you iu because you do not predace cotton. Can any man tell me what is meant by equal . rights to all men and special privile-1 ges to none when the people who < produce cotton are invited to this feast of the government and every < one else is turned out ? is that a < sample of equal rights to all men and special privileges to none. What we want is equal law. 1 ; would have it rest on every man ! equally and at the same time give i every man equal privileges. That is what we want and as one man can not outvote five men so 15,0u0,000 cannot persuade 65,000,000 that it is 1 good thing to select one ciase of people, raise them into the favor of the government and turn the back of the hand to others and tell them to earn their living as best they can. ***** There has been a great deal of talk about silver?free silver. Some peo ple think that this means that silver will be absolutely free, and that ail they will have to do is to he?p them j selves. There was never a greater | mistake made. Free silver means ! that the mine-owners out west who own the bullion can have it coined j free of charge to themselves, but we have to pay the taxes on it. There ie | money upon money piled up iu the i Treasury in Washington, and not long ago there was a proposition made to have it coined. It so, it would coat the people of the United States between $2,000,000 and $3, 000,000 to have it coined. The bullion belongs to the mine owners in the west If he has it coined we pay taxes for it and costs him nothing. But I'm not going to enter into the free silver question I only want to say that if it is free we will get no more benefit fron? it than from under the present system. Many people think that free silver witf bring a great deal of money nto the country. I want to say that it will bring no more than we have under I he present pystem. Prior to IMS, for 80 years, we h3d free cwin-1 age of silver in this country. They coined $100,000 per year only, that was $100,000 for 80 years. In 1878 the government undertook to bay aud coin it From 1878 to 1890 we have gut coined 240 times as much silver as we had coined under what was known as the free aud unlimited coin age of silver peiiod. In 1890 this law was changed, and we issued cer tificates. That is going on now at tbe rate of 540 aud 600 times as much as when we had free silver and yet the people are not any better off than they were in 1873. We are coin ing now, mark you, 540 to 600 times as much silver as we did then. ? tel you the laud law scheme, cotton scheme, sub-treasury scheme or any other scheme on the face of the earth that allows the National government to com roi it will uot bring money to the people of this country. If tbe Election Should be Thrown Into the House. The People's or Farmers' Alliance party nieet? io convection today at Ornaba to nominate candidates for President and Vice President of tbe United States. Tbe leaders of this movement can hardly hope to elect their candidates, bat they claim that tbe party will carry enough States to throw tbe eleotion of President into the House of Representa tives. Whether it will or can do this is mntter of speculation. The party has developed strength in a namber of Sondern States, notably the Carolinas, Georgia and Texas, and also in several Western States, such as Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota and Sooth Dakota. Whether it will secare tbe electoral vote of all or any of these, whether it will prevent either of tbe other parties from getting the necessary electoral majority, remaina to be seen. Bat it cannot be denied that this third party movement, with tbe strength it has accumalated and tbe progress il may make, presenta tbe possibility, if not the probability, of the next election being thrown into the House. It is therefore, a matter of timely interest to review tbe procedure prescribed for each an emergency by tbe constitution. That instrument provides that the person who receives greatest number of electoral votes for President shall bo President, if each namber be a majority of all tbe electors. If no one have such majority "then from the persons having the highest namber, not exceeding three do the list of those voted for as Presi dent, the House of Representatives mall choose immmediately by ballot the President." The Electoral College now consists of Pour hundred and forty-four votes. A majority necessary to elect is two hun* ?red and twenty-three. If both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Harrison fail to get hat number, and assuming that the ;bird party candidate wUl not get it, here will be no election by tbe people, ind it will devolve upoa tbe House to jhoose a President from these three can* lidates. The voting in the House will >e by States and not by members. Tbe epresentation of each State will have >ne vote. Tbe one representative of !dabo will have a voice equal to tbe hirty-foor represen tat ?ves cf New York. 1 majority of the States, twenty-three >f the forty-four, is necessary to a motee. As tbe democrats control tbe repre sentation of a majority of tbe States ?r. Cleveland would be the choice of he House. If the election of President should be hrown into the House tbe choice of if Vice President would by the consti* ution go to the Senate?that is, assum ng that no candidate got a majority of he electora! Totes. While the House ? directed co choose a President from he three highest candidates the Senate s required to select a Vice President rom the two highest. While the vote s by States in the House it is by Sena ore in the Secate. A majority of all he Senators elects. Should the contingency we have >eeo considering arise a very ren.ai kable ituation and a very important question rould be presented. Tbe Home, as re bave seee, being democratic, would ilect Mr. Cleveland ; tbe Senate, being epublican, would naturally choose Mr. tteid. But would Mr* Reid be constitution ally eligible to the Vice Presidency ?ith Mr. Cleveland as President ? That ? could a President and Vice President )e chosen from the same State ? On this point the meaning of tbe jostitution is open to debate. Its words ire :? The electors shall meet in their respective States and vote by ballot for President and Vice President, one of whom at least shall not be an inhabitant 5f the same State with themselves. That is an express limitation on tbe electors It is not an express limitation on Congress. On the one hand it may be said that tbe purpose of the constitution is to prevent in any ease the election of two persons from the same State to the highest offices of tbe government. On the other it may be argued that as the Senate and House are uot expressly enjoined, tbe prohibition does not extend to them, and hence they are free to choose both President and Vice President from the same State It is an interesting question that must give rise to vital discussion whenever the occasion comes.?N, Y. Herald July 2. Farmer and Gentleman. At one of the farmers' institutes Theodore Louis, the veteran teacher o? hogology, had been relating to an interested audience of farmers how he bred, fed and marketed his hogs, giving minute details of the work, brood sows, cooking squashes, clean-1 ing out the pens, supplying bedding, ami everything pertaining to the busi ness. As he came down from the platform a farmer with unkempt hair, a slouched hat, greasy frock and over alls, the latter tucked into a pair of dirty, coarse boots, met him and said, "Mr. Louis, do you pretendi? say you feed your own hogs ?" "Oh yes! When I am at home " "And clean out the manure ?" "Certainly," said Mr. Louis with a smile. "Well, said Farmer Tumbledown, with a sneer, "when a man with a 6tiff hat, a black suit of clothes, a gold chain aud shiny shoes teile me he feeds hogs and cleans the pen, I don't believe him." This rather nctlled the good na tured champion of "swine husban dry," and he said : "My friend, did you learn anything 1 new of rae today ?" "Oh, yes," eaid Tumbledown, "all you have said about breeding and feeding was good, but I don't believe a man who dresses like you ever fed hogs." There was an interested group of listeners gathered by this time, and with a twinkle in his eyes, Uncle Theodore said : "Now, my friend, let me teach you something else If you want men to respect you and your calling, you mast show respect for it yourself. Yon ought to have enough ambition and self-reapect so that when you go to to?vn, or to attend an institute, you would black your boots, put on a decent suit of clothes and clean your self up." The crowd seemed to appreciate the situation, and Tumbledown had business somewhere else. It is not the farming, but the farm er* like Tumbledown that cause some people to speak lightly of farmers. There is nothing in the business of farming that need make a boor of a man. The day is passed when dirty hands, greasy clothes and muddy boots are to be accepted as an index of occupation.?Coleman's Rural World. ? li BMmm The Pistol Pocket in Politics. How can the people of the state be ex pected to obey and respect the laws when the sworn officers of the law them selves violate it both in letter and spirit? How can the voters of the State be ex pected to regard the law when office holders and candidates for office whe ap peal to them fcr their suffrages acknowl edge themselves to be deliberate viola tors of i?? law? What encouragement is there noi to lawless men when the prin cipal law officers of the State go around the country with pistols in their pockets? Who can blame a foolish white youth or an ignorant negro for following the lead of these eminent expositors of law and order? There cannot be one law for a ruffian in the streets and another and entirely different law for the office-holder and candidate. At the cam pai meeting io Cod way on Monday, Attorney General Mc Laurin the highest law officer of the State Government, admitted that at re sent visit to Greenville he carried a pis tol in his pocket. Gen Farley, the chief military officer of the State admitted that he had a pistol in his satchel on the stand at the recent campaign meet ing in Charleston. Mr. L. W. You mane, the Conservative candidate for the office of Secretary of State, said that he bad a pistol in his valide, on the stand it the meetiog in Charleston, and that lie "carried it in his pocket to Lane's ind then put it in his valise." Mr Mc Laurin pleaded in extenuation of bis lawless conduct that he was not a speak er on the occasion of his visit to Green rille; Gen. Faaley con tended that the aw did not prohibit him from earring a )istol in his hand-satchel, and Mr. You naos denied having a pistol upon bis >erson at a single campaign meeting yet leid. How the people of Horry must have >eeo edified by these varions pleas in con cesi?n and avoidance of delib?rate viola ion of the law by these, three candidates or their favor! How the law has been >rought into contempt and the spirit of rioleace been encouraged by tbier con tact! What hope is there for the State tod what respect can there be for the law ffbeo three prominent men arm them lelves, and go about the country ready o shoot opon provocation, and exciting )y their own conduct the worst passioos )f the mob? We do not tt.ink that the toarage of any ooe of the three men can >e questioned bat they are doing what hey would doubtless characterize as ?owardly if it were done by others under imitar condition. We do not intend to discriminate in mr censure between Mr. Youmans and he two other gentlemen who appeared vith him on the stand at Conway. There is no excuse for his conduct; he CD0W8 that it is wrong; he knows that he vas violating the law iu the 1< tter when ie travelled from Charleston to Lanes vith a pistol in his pocket, and he knows bat he is violating the law in spirit irhen he travels from place to place in his State with a pistol in bis valise. Lie knows that he does not need to re nforce bis backbone by any such artifi >ial aid and be should be heartily is ham cd of himself for the example ?hieb, be is setting and for the encour agement which he is giving to the oung men of the State. But repre leneible as is his conduct, Mr. You nans is nothing more than a private >itizen and a candidate for a high pub ic office, while Mr. McLaurin and Gen. for ley, his fellow-offenders, are both iworo officers of the law, and as such ire solemnly bound to obey the laws of his State. The law declares the carry ng of any concealed deadly weapon to )e a misdemeanor, punishable upon con viction by fine or imprisonment, or )oth. But here we have the Attorney General and the Adjutant General of South Carolina making public confes sion that they are violators of the laws which under their oaths of office they ire especially bound to protect and de fend. A shameful commentary this upon :he civilization of South Carolina ; a pitiful exhibition truly for State offi ?ials to make anywhere or at aoy time. There ought to be some way to punish these men for their conduct, but of course nothing will be done. The law will not reaoh them because there is no one to make complaint against them.? News and Courier. mmm ? ? ??? ? Spoils. From Harper's Weekly. The most remarkable sentence in the speech of Prcident Harrison to the con gratulating crowd after his nomination was this: ?* have felt great regret that I was unable to find a suitable place for every deserving friend; but I have insis ted that ? did not disparage those I could not appoint to place;" This is a roost naive remark from a President, but it shows clearly Mr. Harrison's view of public office. It is a reward for his friends. He laments that there were not spoils enough. The qualification for public service is friendship for him. "I am sory," he says to his party associates, "that I could not reward all of you." Patriotism disinterested support of prin ciples the du'y of an honest exercise of the franchise, these are considerations that do not occur to him. He is sorry c n'y that he could not pay with a public salary those who voted for him. A sim pler aud more childlike profession of faith in spoils as the mainspring of the duty of a citizen, we do not recall, and the President"clinches it with the depre cation that he docs not disparage those to whom he ha? uothiug to give. Not an Artful Dodger Either. - Senator Hill, of New York, was not paired. He bad been Bitting at bis i desk reading ancient petitions and pay ing little attention, as usual, to the proceedings of the august body of which be is a member. He bad no suspicion that the silver question was being voted on until the roll oall bad progressed within one or two names of his own. He looked up and inquired of Senator Gorman, who sat near him, what was the question before the senate. Mr. Gorman told him, and the pallor of Hill's bald head was intensified to ashy whiteoesss as be heard it. At last tbe "bridge had been reached" but Hill was not ready to cross it. He shied like a circus elephant who distrusts rotten ti m bere. Forgetful of hie dignity and heedless of the knowing smiles of all who sat around him, the distinguished senator from New York spruog up from his seat and positively "bolted" from tbe room. He hurried out into the corridor, and in his mad rush for the elevator he ran against and almost upset Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts. Just as he sprung into the elevator one of the senate pages, whether innocently or ia malioe, called out to him that there was a roll call going on in the senate, but Mr. Hill paid no attention, and as soon at the elevator reached tbe base ment rushed into the inner private rooms of the senate restaurant, reserved for the senators, and concealed himself in one corner, where he intently studied the bill of fare. Mean while the electric bells ail over the senato wings were ringing the signal that a roll call was in progress, and the various senators as they left their luncheon started up stairs to the chamber to place themselves on record. Some of them as they passed the senator from New York courteously and per haps mischievously called his attention to the fact of the pending roll call, but never a word did be deign in reply. To add to his discomfiture there seemed at first in tbe senate a possibility of no quorum, and pages were sent out to bring in absent senators. Naturally most of the lads drifted through the cafe, and from nearly a dozen different sources Senator Hill was notified again that the clerk of the senate would be pleased to note tbe name of David B. Hill, of New York, as voting for or against Mr. Stewart's motion to take up tbe bill for the free coinage of gold and silver. Mr. Hill dodged the vote, but never bas a senator in the senate before bad such difficulty in dodging it and put him sels so plainly on record as a dodger. What Will Win. The electoral college this year will have 444 votes, making 223 the ma jority the winner io tbe presidential race must have. The solid South will give it is believed, 159 of these votes. New Jersey will add 10 and Michigan at least 4, bringing the sure votes to 173. Connecticut will probabiy add 6 votes. Iudiana 15 and New York 36, making the welcome total of 230. If, therefore the democrats do as well this year as they did in 1876 aud 1884 they will win. They think they have new ohanoes in various Western States that they have never had before. It is not at all un likely that they will bave enough new western electoral votes to be able to do without New York's 36. Still, New York's 36 will be "handy." Sbiloh's Consumption Cure.
