Sensible.

Editor Times and Democrat:
Feeling as every farmer must do, an
inclination to respond to the call of his
brother farmer, in the effort to inaugu
rate movement in behalf of our agri
cultural interest, and therefore to al
others-for we are the bottom rock in
the structure. I cannot refrain from
expressing my regret, in the condemna
tory spirit Of this appeal. Although
| it seems, a tendency of the times, to
impugn and traduce in all differences
is It wise in movement like this, to
arraign all our representative men, bs
whole sale; must it not weaken O,fi
cause to antagonize our people, ar
raying one class VS.. another, causing
division in our Democratic ranks
which must open the door to the enemy
the negro and the demogogue-only
dormant by ouIstrenght, in our solidi-
ty. Now, this occasional abuse of our
lawyers in some articles recently in
the press, is indeed in bad taste if not
ungrateful in our farmers, few OF
whom in the embarrassment and troub-
les of poverty have not laid claim to
counsellor at the Courthouse who has
oftentimes proven u friend indeed. It
is true that like a great many others,
did not approve of some of this pro-
feSsion, who led us to victory in '76,
and when we arraigned the official ras-
Gals, who had robbed us-springing up
in their defence was done in more
than one county of our State. But, If
some have fallen before our standard
of excellency, must we condemn all Of
the profession in which we find some
of our best men, and who must hesi-
tate to join us all with this denuncia-
tory feelings for their high calling.
Fellow-farmers, let us pause and 90
back to "ante bellum" times in our
County, have we forgotten our Glover, a
lawyer by profession, but how far be-
yond this in all his attainments was he
in the relations Of friend and coun-
sellor. Ay, and our Keitt, who in the
forum as well as field, won distinction,
and in those times that tried mems
souls, where did you find them, but in
the vanguard, where they met so
gallantIy their fate. Heroes in the
strife, fully up to the standard of merit
and duty, with our DantZler and others
of our fraternity, and outside Of our
County. Let ME recall to you, Butler
and Bonham, Kershaw and Kennedy,
whom some of you have followed upon
many CORY field. Would you traduce
them {! God forbid-are they less
worthy now than then-they led us in
times of peril, like Hampton and Ha-
good and Bratton, our farmer Generals,
and are as true to us to-day as they
were in the dangers and trials of the
past, and for one can do them no dis
honor. In this effort to inaugurate a
movement; which must redoWned to
the general good, let us raise such
a standard as that all can dis
cuss the situation, assert our rights
and demanding them, win them ct
the polls. Call your convention, broth
er farmers, but let it be for all of
our people, our interests are one.

The times and democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1881-current, 1886-03-25
A Few Questions,

Editor Times and Democrat:
Is there one farmer in ten in South
Carolina who knows that there is such
a thing as the tariff?
Is there one man in ten in the State
who knows the literal and practical
meaning of the word tariff?
Is there one man in ten in the State,
who knows that every time he pur-
'chases one dollars worth of general
merchandise he gets only fifty-seven
cents worth?
Is there one man in ten in the State,
who knows what becomes of the other
forty-three cents, so expended?
Is there one man in ten in the State,
who knows that all wealth is the pro-
duct of labor or the gains of eX-
changes?
Is there one man in ten in the State,
who knows that all taxes must arise
from the net product of labor or the
gains of exchanges?
Is there one person in ten in the State,
whether farmer, planter, editor, lawyer,
doctor, preacher, white or cOlored Ia
borer, male or female, man, woman or
child, mason, blacksmith, mechanic, or
artisan of any kind, who knows that
by reason of the tariff, he, she or they
are just forty-three per cent poorer than
they would be if the tariff was not in
existence?
Is there one man in ten in South Caro-
lima who knows that the Bessemer Steel
Association alone, as it styles itself,
pays annually over five million Of dol
lars to Congress to keep up the tariff
in order to enrich itself at the expense
of the many?
Is there one farmer or laborer in ten
thousand in the United States, who if
he understood the enormity and over
whelming injustice of the tariff system
would not use his influence and vote
against any candidate for Congress
who is not committed to vote for a re-
duction of the tariff. first, last, and all
the time?
Can "level headed brother Williams
of the Greenville News" define free
trade?
Does "level headed brother Williams
of the Grcenville News" know that
when seventy staunch free traders
tackle the average Congressman they
are not tackllng a very "big potato?'
Will some person or persons please
answer, and not all answer at once?

the enemy. and We are not unaware OF the
fact that the battle is going to he holly
contrStrh. The talk about the Republic
can partv's being disrupted Is the mercSt
folly. ut least it is in this county. They
are alive and ready for the con-
test. and it is useless to talk
otherwise. They have everything to gain
and nothing to lose in the contest, while
we must rain or lose everything. The
majority i'm this county has been gradually
decreasing for several years, from this fact,
that the large coal fields operated here
have brought into this county 4 very large
foreign vote, and they are largely Lcpub-
licanS, which accounts for the very small
majority We ARE able to give. But We
think the Democrats can carry the
county il they make a iudiCIOuS nomlna
ton, il is no Use to disguise the fact, every
person must do his duty, and the party
here will do that, rs there Is dissatisfaction
i'm the marty ranks. We intend To send 4

legislature. The idle tales that there Is
great dissatisfaction here, among the boys,
because they did not get in office, is I'M
true, no doubt some have

but that did not affect their political
feelings they are still true to the Teach
