WEDNESDAY* SEPT. 28,1S92. Tae Sumter Watchman was founded in 18^0 and the True Seuthron sn 1866. The Jaichman. and Sovxhnm uow has thfc combined circulation and influence of both of the old papers, and is mani festly the best advertising medium in Simter. Juo. T.

C. Lamarr of the United States Supreme Court suf fered an attack of paralysis last week. It is hoped he will recover in a short time. Governor Tillman has issued a procla mation declaring Columns Day, Octo ber 21st, a general holiday, and calling upon everybody to abstain from ordi nary occupations and properly celebrate the day. The cotton market has suffered a sharp decline since yesterday, owing to un favorable reports from Liverpool. Yes terday the best grades of cotton sold on ' the streets here for 7.60; today the same cotton is quoted at not more than 7.40. The first sale of tobacco was held in the Darlington warehouse yesterday. - The sale was well attended and was quite successful. Mr. R. M. Cooper represented Sum ter County with 116 pounds, for which he obtained 13 oents. Mormon missionaries have invaded London and are creating considerable worry ia certain ciroles. Tbey should have gone to Hamburg and then Amer ica would have been at quits with that city for sending us cholera The Third Party and the old line in-for-what-we-can-get Republican par ty in Georgia have flopped together. Col. A. E Back the boss of the Repub lican aggregation has issued a circular to his followers to support the Third Party candidates. Birds of a feather flock together. Reports from the New York quaran tine state that there havA been no new cases of cholera or other sickness since the 20th inst. and that all dan6er of an epidemic has about passed. This is cheering news and with the advent of cold weather we can take off our cholera scare and put it away for use next Spring. After Tillman was nominated we be lieve that the nomination should have been made unanimous. His nomina tion was the final act of the factional fight and voting to make it unanimous would have been no more a compromise of principal than voting for him at the approaching election ; and at the same time it would have been an earnest of the united support of the whole party. Sumter is the banner county of the State in number of districts levying the extra 2 mill school tax. This is a good showing, and is an evidence that the people of the county are taking an active an intelligent interest in the ico -provement of the public schools. "This spirit of improvement must be kept up and encouraged, for there is yet great need and opportunity for im provement. Havanna tobacco can be raised in Sumter County and we believe it would be a more profitable crop than the va rieties planted this year Mr. J^ho Young, of Remberts, P. 0., planted a j small patch as an experiment this year and succeeded in raising and curing j Some very pretty cigar tobacco. It has ; the correct color and odor. We are in formed that this variety of tobacco is worth from one to three dollars per pound when properly cured. - Col. John C Haskeil, in an inter view, cays that the action of the State Convention is practically a reassertion of the Third Party resolutions of the May Convention. In this we agree with him. In South Carolina we have today a Third Party platform misscailed Democratic, five congressmen standing on the Third Party platform, yet calling themselves Democrats for effect, and all claiming to support Cleveland and Stevenson, who etaod on the National Democratic platform, something wholly different from their platform. A pretty kettle of 6>h it is to be sure. Hon. A. K McClure, editor of the Philadelphia Times, discussed the McKinley Tariff before an audience of 5000 in the Philadelphia Academy of Music on Monday night. He said that "it has bastardized the honest protec tion of our fathers by subtlejhypocrisy and insatiate greed Juutil it is today simply the festering maggots of monop oly." 'The McKinley Tariff was made chiefly a jumb'e of contract taxes upon the people for the benefit of con tributors to political debauchery, and it is not surprising that the contractors muzzled their champion when there was danger to their cause " ' In nearly e*ery important product of the farm on which the McKinley tariff levies in creased taxes, ostensibly for protection, the farmer hag no protection whatever, as he is without foreign competition and has to seek for.'ign markets for the sur plus of every important article fh it he produces. I represent one of the non protected iuduptries of the country, the newspaper press. It is not protected in anything ; it is tased on everything. This industry presents the clearest solu tion of ths problem of cheapen'*1" nro duets by American intelligence, skin and eaergy. By cheapening our news papers we have quadrupled the demand jbr there ; we have doubled the employ the markets abroad that are open to like < intelligence, skill and energy in our | protected industries, the American newspaper would be the newspaper of every country in the world, because it is the cheapest and best." This is good doctriue and well worthy of con sideration. THE CREDIT OF THE STATE. I - For more than two years the six per cent bonds of this State have hovered in the neighborhood of 9?r> with few buyers at that figure. Previous to this time the bonds were at a premium. The first decline came when the March Conven tion was called by the Shell Manifesto, and the bonds have declined from time to time until now they are on the mark et at with few takers. There is a reason for this condi tion as there is always a reason fer every- j thing. From 1876 until the Sbr'*l | Manifesto was issued by Tillman, Shell and Irby, the State had been in the hands of a government elected by the white peepl-3 of the State, and this government bad the confidence and support of the whole people. Conse quently residents of other States regard ed our government as stable, and capi talists bad confidence that any contracts the government of one year might make t would be recognized and paid by its [ successors from year to year. Our : bonds were regarded as safe invest ments, as the faith of the white people of South Carolroa, the property owners of the State, was pledged to redeem them when due and to pay the semi annual interest promptly. The Shell MaD:festo charged cor ruption against the government that [ was trusted, it created distrust in the / minds of capitalists, it divided the peo ple iuto two factions, one supporting and the other opposing the then existant State government All this together caused people io other States, and many within our own borders, to lose confidence io the security of the State bonds ; and while many were anxious to sell few were Willing to : buy. This was caused by a fear that I future State governments would not j promptly carry out tbe obligations of \ those that had been io power. If the I payment of the bonds, principal and interest had been secured in some way independent of future acts of the Legis lature the market value of the bonds would not have declined but would have remained the same, irrespective of what faction or party should be in power. The security of the investment io bonds j would have not depended upon the sta I bility or character of the government ; : and confidence in the government would i not have been necessary to insure con - I fi?ence in the permanent value of the j i bonds. I Thus we see that the Tillman faction ! \ by unfounded charges agaiust the State J ; government produced distrust in the minds of bond holders, divided the peo- j pie, and destroyed the confidence of in vestors in the permanent value of the State bonds, therefore they are respon sible for the injury the credit of the State has suffered. It is not enough, that they have, since coming ioto pow er met every obligation falling du*>, to prove that they are not responsible for j the decline in value of S ate bonds. ! We grant that meeting the obligations ! was an evidence of good faith and has j prevented the bonds from becoming utterly worthless, but it was no meri torious act. It was mere duty, and duty that had every motive cf self inter- ! est to recommend it. The question of respon-ibiiity for the ! injury to the credit of the State is not, however, the question that is, at pre- | sent, the one of highest importance. It is how to restore confidence io the secu rities of the State, and it is a question the 1 men of both factions should undertake ; j to settle. Ir. is a recognized fact that I the depreciation of the State bonds is j j an injury to every citizen of the State, j ; and every citizen should seek to und a j way to remedy the evil. The best way ! to accomplish this is for ue whoie body j politic to show a determination to sup I port the government in all i's legitimate j acts and to pay all dob;s contracted for ; legitimate purposes without respect to ; what factiou may be in power when 1 these debts are contracted. If capital- j t ists C3n be convinced of the intended ! 1 j good faith of the people and their ability i to meet all obligation-*, there will be no i hesitation in buying South Cirolina ; bonds ; and this U what all the people ' i of S^uth Carolina desire. CLEVELAiN'IAs LETTER. j Cleveland has issued his letter of ! acceptance of the Democratic nomina ! tion. It is as brief as possible to cover ; the issues of the campaign, and is a j pointed and terse expression of bis . po-ition. He is \a np.-oid with his par I ry and is also its chief exponent, conse i uaently anything he says is deserving of I the consideration of democrats. \ He declares the only proper protcc tion to be : "The protection of the peo ple iu the txeu-ivj use and enj*>ymeol of their property and earnings conced ; ed:y cousfimtes the especial purpose and j mission of our free govtTMmnt " This j is the c ?nciceRt expression of the . essential element of a Democratic gov ernment that any can in public life has given utterance i<> within th? last de cade. This ! < the kind of protection in j which we bellt v.1. He reiterates belief that a tariii ! for more than the necessary revenue is unjust and wrong ii cncludes his ' reference to th; tand as follows: "This theory of fartff legislation manifestly . j enjoins strict ecoc uay in punlic expen ditures a-ud their limitation t<? legitimate public u-es, inasmuch as v exhibits as I,. ,.? .>ni..ri a?? exaction bv wav 3f taxation from the substance of the people beyond the necessities of a care ful and proper administration of the government." Free Trade he declares not to be his purpose, and that the demand is still for tariff reform ; and says further : 1 Though we oppose the theory that tariff laws may be passed haviDg for their object the granting of discrimina ting and nnfair governmental aid to private ventures, we wage no extermi nating war against any American inter ests. We believe a readjustment can be accomplished in accordance with the principles we profess, without disaster or demolition. We believe that the advantage of free raw material should be accorded to our manufacturers, and we contemplate a fair and careful dis tribution of necessary tariff burdens, rather than the precipitation of free i trade." Referring to the money question Cleve land says : "The people are entitled to sound and honest money abundantly sufficient in volume to snppiy their business needs. But whatever may be the form of the people's currency, na tional or State?whether gold, silver, or paper?it should be so regulated and guarded by governmental action, or by wise and careful laws, that no one can be deluded as to the certainty and stability of its value. Every dollar put into the hands of the people should be of the same intrinsic value or purchasing power With this condition absolutely guaranteed, both gold and silver can be safely utilized, upon equal terms, in the adjustment of our currency.'' fie still holds to the doctrine that public office is a public trust and pledges himself and party to civil service re form. The pension roll is in need of revi sion and reform. "Our pensioo roll should be a roll of honor, uncontami nated by ill-desert and nn vitiated by demagogic use." In unmistakable language be declares Democratic opposition to the Force Bill, governmental paternalism, and the contiooance of objectionable im migra tion. He approves of the Nicaragua canal, and pledges the faith of the party to contribute all in its power to make the World's Fair, as a National undertak ing, a soceess. His attempt was "not to instruct my countrymen nor my party, but to re mind both that Democratic doctrines He near the principle of our government, and to promote the people's good " In Grover Cleveland we have the only statesman now ia public life, and his letter is but one more proof of his j statesmanship. We regret that limited j space prevents giving it in full. it will be both a privilege and duty for all Democrats to vote for bim, for through the Democracy and during the administration of our next President, j Grover Cleveland, is our hope for relief ; om the oppression and discrimination of the National Government. SOUTHERN INTOLERANCE. A greatjieal has been said about the recent rotten egging of Mr and Mrs. Weaver and Mrs. Lease, in Macou, Ga., and the whole transaction has been placed to the account of Southern intol erance, by many Northern papers, aud by some that are published in the South. No one can or ought to deny, and so far as we are informed, no one has de nied, that the egging was a disgraceful performance, and a burning shame upon such of the people of Macon as took part in it or countenanced it, or who now commend or defend it. Rut, having said this, we must decline to admit, without uiore and b?tter evi dence than has yet been adduced from ' any source, (i) that the whole popula tion of Macon is responsible for the outrage, or (2> :hat the whole State of Georgia is responsible for it, or (3) that it is such au index of Southern in tolerance that the whole South should be indicted, convicted, and coudemned on account of it. Weaver himself, in his letter to the State Chairman of the Third Party, charged the outrage to the Macon roughs and hoodlums, exempting there by the respectable people of that city, and expressly the ex-Con federates, whom he proclaimed to be uniformly and ever) where, courteous. This, as it seems to us, acquits j Macon, acquits Georgia, and relievos J the South of the guilt of intolerance, in so far at least, as this charge is con cerned. But suppose it does not, suppose that j thi* egging was the act of "the South,*' and an indication of intolerance, does ! it argue or teod to show that Southern ers are sinners above all others?'hat ; they are by nature more depraved, by i education more ^ignorant, by custom, j more intolerant than other people who j have enjoyed (".') an environment simi I lar to thiers 'l Let us ask our critics to I suppose the following : that the South j had for sixty years condemned, and be I labored, and criticised, and hold-up to universal scoru and ignominy, the Northern section of the country, on ac ; count of its system of working its em ! pluyees in mills and other manufactories; ; that at last, under such treatment the I North ha ? availed itself of its unques i tinned rights under the constitution, j and withdrawn foot the Union of the ! States ; that the South should have gone ; to work to compel the North, by force ! of arms, to return to the Union, and I that it hid been successful in the effort : that the South should have gone on aud forced upon the North ail the horrors of the reconstruc tion era, and soonorted its tyran j oies by the arms of its reg alar army. which, by right, belonged as much to the North as to the South?spppose ou a word, that our position and that of the North was reversed, and that a man who had oppressed the people of Con cord, Mass., as Weaver oppressed the people of Pulaszi, Teon., had gone back there or anywhere in the North, as a Presidential candidate, is it sup posed by anyone that the people or Al bany, or Cleveland, or Detroit, would have received and treated him w'*h greater consideration and deference than Weaver was treated on his Southern tour ? Let him believe it who can I But, Weaver says h was not the rep utable people of the South or of Macon who treated bim with intolerance, but the city toughs. If so, if Weaver is telling the truth, where is the evidence of "Southern intolerance ?" There are toughs everywhere } are whole commun ities and sections to be judged by the actions of its toughs, and are they to be taken as the standards of those com munities and sections ? Tkat would hardly be esteemed fair by anyyust per son. But, moreover, Bro. Weaver is entire ly satisfied with the whole affair. He went to Florida and Georgia on a polit ical speculation. He says now that the manner in which he was treated will gain him many votes, besides "firing the Northern heart" in a measure, and that he is satisfied with the net result. His speculation, be thinks, has well paid him and his party. What more do you wish ? What would you have ? As an evidence of political shrewdness, the incident is noteworthy, but as an indication of Southern intolerance it is about a- far of? as it need be to claim that because you ffnd an occasional goat in vinegar that therefore ihe grapes or the apples out of whieh it was made were all rotten or wormy. The Platform. The following is the platform adopted at the State Convention. A substitute, offered by Gen. Edward McCrady, pledging the par ty to the National platform wa3 rejected by a strict factional vote. The last paragraph, calling for a siuking fund, is worth all the balance; and, in fact, is the only part of the platform that is worth anything at all. Tue balance is words, mere words. "We, tbe representatives of the Democratic party of South Carolina, in convention ftcSem bled, do reaffirm our allegiance to the princi ples of the party, ns formulated by JtfJkrson, exemplified and illustrated by his successors in leadership, and endorsed by our people in tbe recent primary election ; and vre pledge | our 1 oy?il support to the nominees of the J National Democracy, Cleveland and Steveu- j son. We denounce as unpatriotic and infamous j tbe attempts which have been made to injure the credit and honor of the State boilj ai home < and abroad. The people of Suuth Carolina, conscious of tbeir ability and integrity, are deterrainod j that every jnst obligation of the State shall j be hononi'oly and promptly discharged. We boldly proclaim that upon this one sub ject there is no difference or division of senti ment among the sons of the State. The bonded debt of the State is small. Her resources are Urge and amp'e. In her : phosphate deposits aioue the State is rich, and since the litigation in regard thereto has been adj-istrd. tbe month's receiptsfr< . : nhos- j phare royalty for the p*st two months is nearly sufficient to meet the interest ou the debt, and eventually to pay the den* itself. We earnestly recommend to the Le^islnn.ire to set apart by law any excess of phosphate royalty, after paying annual interest on the State debt, as a sinking fund to be placed at interest and sacredly kept and used for the purpose of payiug tbe principal on the State debt. WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, Sept 26. 1S92. Who will Mr. Harrison name to take his p'.ice as Cz ?r of the republican cam paign machine? is a question that, is daily becoming more important to re publicans. The condition of Mrs Har rison is such that Mr Harrison will net leave her long enough to Inar a?d fa miliarize bim>elf with the reports of those who hive come here to inform him of the perilous c -n liri'-n of his campaign and to receive his orders, and there is little prospect of Mrs. Harrison becoming well enough to permit him to resume control of the campaign. He | has so far absolutely refused lo talk pol- | itics with those who have tried to im- J press upon him the necessity for an im mediate delegation of his power to some on.1 else. Steve Eikias has been sent for and he j will try to get Mr. Harrison to name a j ! new boss, and it is po-sdblo, d, j would be probable, that 12.kins would be j the man if it were not that Mr Harrison ! has always regarded Klkins as being tarred with the Biaine stick, aud feared to trust him iu matters affecting his own political welfare. He may have to do so now. There is no other member or j the cabinet, excepting Charlie Foster, J who has sufficient political sagacity aud experience to do tho work ; so, unless I he go?'r: outsid* of the cabinet, one of thes? - men will probably be selected to wea; r< publican crown during the remainuer of the campaigo. General disappointment ha* taken command of the republicans hereabouts, j The nrst disappointment was causid by the flat failure to make the G. A. It. encampment a republican campaign j gathering, and by the upsetting of all j the piaurt that had been made with that, j end in view. Vice President Morton J was approached and asked to lend his aid to carrying out the plan; he ; positively refused, and also informed I itiot>c who broached the subject that, if ! any attempt was maue to bring politics j into the encampment he would at once return to New kork. It matters not whether Mr Morton acted as he really felt about this or was actuated by a feeling of revenue and a desire to "get even" with those who kept bim out of tho Vice Presidential nomination at Minneapolis; it is euough to know that ho helped to disarrange plans that would have been a disgrace :. to the administration and to the G. A. It had they been carried out. Another disap pointment, and a big one i; i.-. too, is that caused by the kuowledge that Senator Hill has gone actively to work to help carry New Y .ok f>r Cleveland and Stevenson, just as those who know him best have ail alou^ maintained that he would at the proper time. Great as was the success ;)f tho G. A. It encampment, in point of attendance, and in the enjoyment, of tho enormous crowd of visitors, it did not ' "' :pe the baleful shadow of the "nigger"?fott things in this country do. It has just leak'.d out that, the leception in the rotunda of the Capital budding, which Congress by special act authorized Mrs. jeo. Logan and her lady associates to ?old, and which so mysteriously came to in end almost before it had fairly got started, was spoilt by the aforesaid bale FqI shadow of the "nigger". It was stated at the time that the doors were ?losed in the faces of the thousands standing in line waiting their torn to pass through the rotunda, and reiterated in the local papers next dav, that Mrs. Logan and her lady assistants had be come so fatigued that it was physically impossible to cootinne the reception. The ladies may have been quite as near prostrated as they wished the public to believe th<y were, but it was not caused by the fa?igue of standing to shake hands wit It those who got in before the doors were closed. Among those who accepted invititations to asssist Mrs. Logan in receiving were the wives of three cabinet officers and a num-ber of ladies- prominent in the social circles of Washington, while a number of young army officers volunteered to make the presentations. When they arrived at the Capitol and proceeded tc the rotunda they were surprised, and some of them greatly shocked, to find that one of the receiving party was a "nigger," the wife of ex-Senator Bruce. There was an immediate rum pus, and as it could not be quieted, some of the ladies refusing to stand with her and some of the officers refu sing to make presentations to her, the reception was brought to a close at the earliest possible moment, and to avoid a scandal during the encampment the story about the ladies being so much prostrated as to be unable to continue it was conceived and given out. Mrs Logan has not improved her social status by inviting Bruce's wife to assist her at that reception, nor has she heard1 the last of it. The State Fair.
