Politics and Trade.

cow THEY ARE COMBINED IN THE SOLID
SOUTHERN STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
IBoston Transcript
The WAYS of Southern politics, in some re-
spccts clear enough, are still past finding out.
South Carolina is a Republican State by a ma
joTity OF many thousands, but the declaration
has gone forth that the Democrats are to take
possession after this year, and the small traders
end poor labo-ers have taken the alarm. The
Advertising columns Of the daily Democratic
papers show how the alarm is manifested. The
Charleston Journal Of Commerce, r. BarnweIl
Rhett, Jr., editor, contains the following:
a CARD-UNrL Further NorIcE I VIII
receive applications from those seeking employ
ment, OF MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS, and FRI
DAYS, and orders from employers for Straight
out Democratic Workingmen, on TUESDAYS,
TacTsDAYs, Gnt- SATURDAYS. I am prepared
TO furnish Democrats with Democratic labor at
reasonable wages, TO any extent at a moments
notice. To employ Republicans and starve
Democrats no longer pays. Ii is a crime, and
viii be held to strict accountability.
"R. s.. THAIRS,
as Broad street"
To understand the effect Of an announcement
of this kind, it must he remembered that the
great majority OF Republicans are leborers, and
the majority OF Democrats are employers OF
labor. In some form or other. Such a notice as
this Is. therefore. an appeal to the fears Of those
who are dependent on their daily earnings, and
would rather change their politics than lose
them. 1t IS also q threat against those who re-
fuse TO surrender. Here is another notice of
the same kind
ITO Orr MERCHANTS, WHARF OWNERS, AND
TRADEssn-N GENERALLY: The Workingmen's
Democratic Association are now prepared 20
furnish from one hundred to two hundred able
bodied men for any kind Of work. Apply at
their hall. Queen street, near meeting, from Q
TO 70 NJ: TO &. and Z TO 9 ?. NJ"
This modified form OF intimidation is carried
into the various branches of retail trade.
Twenty-one butchers Of Charleston unite in a
card, which the Aslrs and CoVrisr prints under
the heading:
BUTCHERS TO BUr FROM"

Paul Prescott, Z good South Carolina name.

- Straight-ous Democrat p and 7. L. Tuily,
caterer, . desires 20 remind the general public
OF what his old customers all know, that he has
been for years 4 ftGrncn Democrat, ana is nov
a supporter OF IIamPton and good government
Surely the riding white race, 1.-THE natural
leaders" are sataag a poble example for their
less fortunate fcllow-citizeas. Ii the market
men and household puryeyors OF any Northern
city were 10 advertise their wares IN this way,
tUadying to the prejudices Of 6 r rich Gus
TONERS, and threatening their riY.Is with the
destruction Of their. business unless they
changed thcir opinions, on rigorous Northern
climate w0asd soon be made uncomfortable for
them. The negroes have, indeed, much to learn
and 10 unlearn when the superior white race
sets them so poor an example.
