THE MENACE OF McKINLtiY
ISM.
We frequently hear it said that
McKinley has made a fairly good
president and his reelection would
sot be a calamity, and such state
ment8 coming from democrats prove
that they have not kept posted on
the growth of militarism during the
.past three years, nor have they
given the situation serious thought.
The Philadelphia Times, one of the
leading papers of the country, thus
states its grounds for opposing Mc?
Kinley :
The Times has been unfailingly
hostile to those measures with which
William McKinley particularly was
identified, such as the monopoly
breeding, deficit producing tariff
.that bore bis name Yet four years
ago, in the sodden crisis that divided
the councils of the Democratic party
and for the time bejng seemed to
have checked its great career, it
seemed better to the Times, as to
Tnany other leading Democratic
paperp, to sustain Mr McKinley's
election as president rather than that
of Mr Bryan The decision was I
made in good faith The result bas
sbown it to be wrong It is repented
and recanted
All of the evils and the perils of
the so called Republican policy have
returned seveofold, developed and
extended till the very foundations of
the government seem threatened. A
false economic system has resulted
in vast combinations of capital thal !
throttle individual industry and hold
control over ail the functions of
government and the spokesman of
tho sdministration. H representative
of one o? thfse great trusts, is call
ing upon his fellow capitalists fer
contributions to buy another four
years license to rob, another four
years life for their inflated and false
prosperity. The government - thus
controlled has found its fittest ex
pression in schemes of military
conquest and the blood and treasure
of Ute nation are poured out to
subdue a distant people and rob them
of loose rights of liberty and inde?
pendence that America has always
claimed for all mankind
Imperialism, militarism, are the
satur,al outgrowth of commercialism
in politics, of the power of the few
over the many Thc elevation ot
money above manhood, with ali the
system of special privileges and
corrupt control that the Republican
party since toe civil war has increas
ingly fostered The upholders of
this system arc themselves aware of
its hollowness and are calling for aid
from the money power to bolster it
up for a time longer The condition
is one that the country must meet
and meet now, and the way to meet
it is by a reassertion of the Demo?
cratic idea and the election of a
Democratic president.
The battle of 1890 was fought and
largely decided on an issue that haf
been entirely overshadowed by the
assertion of a new and most danger
ons policy to the tranquility and
safety of the republic. Centraliza
tion hat* been appreciated by intelli?
gent political observers as the great
peril to the republic ever since our
civil war ; but it has been whole?
somely restrained by the peopie, and
never reached the appalling attitude
of positive imperialism untii Presi?
dent McKinley proclaimed it and
enforced it, regardless of the wise
limitations upon executive authority.
The paramount issue between the
two great parties today is that of
imperial prerogatives against the
true Jeffersonian theory of govern?
ment by the people ; and it must
now be obvious to ali intelligent
voters that there can be DO hope of
baiting the present reckless and
riotous spirit o? imperialism in any
other way than by the election of
William J. Bryan as the next presi?
dent of the United States. It is the
vital, the paramount issue, and it
must triumph whenever the people of
the nation appraciate their sovereign
power and assert the majesty of popu
lar rule.
So one questions or can question,
the ability, the earnestness, the
integrity of the Democatic candidates
For the rescue of all that has .made
America glorious in the past and
that can make her strong in the
future, it is a duty io support their
election.

?CHARLESTON'S
EXPOSITION.
F?cts About What is Being
Done to Make it a Success.
The South Carolina inter State and
West Indian Exposition will be held
in the City of Charleston next year
The capital stock of the Exposition
Company has been fixed at $250,000,
and the resources of the company are
estimated $1,000,000 It is propos?
ed that this Exposition shall be fully
representative of the material
resource? and manufacturing and
commercial interests of South Caro
lina and the Southern States, parti?
cularly, and of the whole United
States and their new possessions in
the West Indies and Philippines
The most encouraging pledges of
assistance and cooperation have been
received from the authorities at
Washington and from the Governors
and Commissioners of Agriculture of
Dearly every state in the Union The
leading commercial organizations of
the principal cities in the United
States have promised their active co?
operation, and it is expected that the
Exposition, in all its varied features,
will be the most complete
and attractive that has ever
been held in the South The j
subscriptions to the capital stock
of the Exposition Company made in
the city of Charleston aggregate j
$200,000, and, as the Exposition is to !
be of direct benefit to every industry j
in the State and to every county of j
the State, it is hoped that there will j
! be a liberal subscription made by the j
manufactur?is and merchant and j
business men of the whole State j
Arrangements have been made j
for an "Exposition day'' st
the Annual Fair of the South Carolina !
State Agricultural and Mechanical ;
Society to be held in the City cf!
Columbia daring tl*e moiith of Octo J
ber. and the opportunity will at that !
time be presented to the peeple of the
State to subscribe to the full extent ;
of their ability and disposition to j
? the capital stock of the Exposition j
Company. The shares of the Ex j
position Company have been placed 1
I at $5, each, payable in instalments i
j upon the call of the Board of Direc j
tors, and, as every industry in the j
State aud the people of every county ;
aie interested in the attraction of j
Capital io South Carolina for invest j
ment and of intelligent and progres- [
sive people in search of homep, it is :
thought that there will be a liberal
I subscription made, during the State
I Fair, to the stock of the Exposition
Company Millions of dollars are
going out West every year for in
vestment, and hundreds of thousands
? of people in search of homes are
I arriving in this country every year
! There is no reason why much of this
j capita! and many of these settlers
? cannot be brought to South Carolina
and the South if the people who are
interested ia the improvement of our
opportunities will make the most of
the advantages which will be afforded
! by the Exposition at Charleston for
? the full development of the resources
During thc State Fair ar. t'olnaibia
an important cooforenco will be held by
the representatives of the KxpcsitioD
Company with the cotton mill meo of
tho State, ncariy all of whom have
signi?ed their wish and disposition to
aid io making the textile features of
thc Exposition complete ic every detail,
South Carolina, which is today tho
largest cotton manufacturing State io
the Sooth, and (be second largest man
ofaoturing State in the Union ought to
present a study io progress at the
Exposition which will impress the
visitors? ro the Exposition and result io
the extension of ..ur commercial rela?
tions with the C'iuotus of South Amer?
ica and the Weet Indien
Danr-g the month of 0?tob-T, lh?
North Carolina State Fair wiil be held
ar, Raleigh io that ?State, and the Geor
gia St3te Fair will be held io Atlanta.
Arrangements are bsiog made for the
full ptesrotatioQ of the purposes of the
great enterprise at Charleston to tbe
cotioc mill men of North Carolina,
which ranks second to this State in
cotton mili development and improve?
ment, and of Georgia, which ts a good
third in tbe race for manufacturing
supremacy. An opportunity will be
presented tbe manufacturers of these
two States to join io the textile exhibit
at Charleston ; aod with these three,
with tbe Carolinas and Georgia work
iog together upoo a definite and well- j
considered plan, the great Textile j
Building at Charleston will contain the
richest treasury of manufactured cotton
goods that bas ever been presented.
Geo E W. Moise, of Sumter, has
been appointed the State Commissioner
for South Carolina of the Exposition
Company, and will make a thorough
canvass of this State in the interest of
the enterprise Be will be prepared to
receive subscriptions to the capital
stock of the Company, aod to answer
questions as to the scope of tbe Expo?
sition and ifs incalculable beoegts to the
people of South Carolina. The pro?
gress cf this State during the past two
decades has been without a parallel io
tbe history cf an} country, and tbe
Exposition at Charleston will serve to
emphasize this markous growth, and
to impress upon capitalists and borne
seekers the chances for future develop?
ment in a State whose undeveloped
wealth has, with all our growth and
prosperity, scarcely yet been tooobed.
Spartanburg Herald.
We do not often venture to advise,
but if we bad 10 bales of cotton or
10,000, we wouid no: sell a pound
until text: June if we could help it.
There is every reason to believe that
between now and Juoe the price of
cotton wili go above the world's de?
mand. Exporters are buying every
pound they can get their bands upon,
bot they cannot get enough to supply
them Local mills may roo oo short
time, but if they ruo at all, tbey must,
before June next, purchase largely. It
ie a safe guess that cotton will not be
less than 10 oeots in 10 months, or
rather that tbe average prioe for 10
months will be considerably above that
point.
Washington, October 6 -The
naval board, which is inquiring into
the question of removing the naval
station from Fort Royal has not
agreed upon a report it is under?
stood that the inquiry as to Charles?
ton bas narrowed the question of
sites down to two, and that the
board id likely to present the merits
of both of these sites, with un ex?
pression of preference for one of them
This will leave the navy department
free to make the final selection, and
is intended io obviate the possibility
of combination or increase of price
by those interested in the successful
site
