onght to neatly mend her own fine
underware, and keep it for herself
till worn out; and if she would help
the poor let her give them strong,
new and coarser clothing which
will be useful to them in their
position and work. There is some
thing about a neatly mended glove,
for example, or other feminine be-
longing, which gives it a charm
and grace it never had in the be-
ginning; probably because it has
acquired something of the person
atty of the dainty and careful
wearer. House Keeper.

convention and elect judges. If
Mr.. Tillman wants the farmers to
make laws, he must have farmers
elected to the legislature; but he
can never convert his convention
into Il Legislative assembly. This
would be class legislation in its
most dangerous form. Dcpl0rablc
indeed will be the condition of af-
fairs when all the Offices of the
government are "lct out" to the va
rious classes or professions most
distinctly Interested. Let us adj
here to Jetfersonian democracy.
The Commissioner of Agriculture
is as much Il State officer as the
Governor, and to allow II class
to elect him would make an impe-
rium IN iMpeTio.
We might point out other blum
Icrs made by this convention, but
this much was expected. 1t is
somewhat remarkable that an as
scmbly of three hundred mon,
gathered togcthero on the spur Of the
moment, should show suchu cOnscr-
vativc spirit. Very little abuse was
heaped upon any class except the
lawyers, vino arc we'll able to bear
it. If by abusing lawyers, Mr..
Tillman can elevate the farmer,
we say day on"
The great convention has assem-
bled and no II can doubt but that
good will result. There is enough
conservatism to hold in check all
who are radical in their views.
We do not object to farmers dis
cussing politics, but they may talk
from now till doom's day, and their
farms will not be more productive.
The greatest good that this con-
vcntion could have accomplished
would be to arouse the farmers to
organize clubs for the discussion Of
improved methods of agriculture.
1t is gratifying to the friends as
well as the opponents to see the
good that is likely to result from
this first meeting.

n BRIGHT FUTURE.
But few countries upon the face
of the earth have been called upon
to bear greater suffering and pecu-
mary loss, than this fair and sunny
South. For those who from the
cradle were reared in opulencc and
wealth; who have heretofore
scarcely had Il wish that could not
easily be gratiticd, to be rendered
in the twinkling of an eye, almost

ton which one might well think
calculated to bring Il feeling OF ut
ter dispondcncy upon the South.
The inevitable shock, consequent
upon such radical change in the
social revolution through which we
have passed, has been felt in all its
force, but to the most casual OBJ
server it is evident that we are
entering upon new era that is
destined ut length to raise us to Il
more favorable position than that
from which we fell. To those who
have daily confronted the Southern
people; who have lived with
them, and known their modes of
life, this wonderful change, this
spirit OF progress, that has charac-
tcrizcd us as the "New South, is in
deed hard to understand. Our diff
ficultics have been great, but uS
soon as the people realized their
loss, and the necessity of doing
something for themselves, they
have put forth every cXcrtion, and
to-day, each capitalist that comes
within our borders, shows the mca.
suite of their success.
In this bright picture which the
New South reveals, the work oi

No other Southern State, rs I am
advised, is ut present trying {, lash
itself into II Juror Of excitement
against a protective tariff. Then
why should we volunteer to preach
Il crusade for redrcssiug the sup
posed wrongs Of the agricultural
States of the South and West?
Surely we can bear the ills of pro-
lection as long ms they can. Be-
sides, many of the great States of
the West, usually believed by super
ficially Informed persons to be ex-
clusively agricultural in their pur-
suits and consequently for free
trade or low tariff, are largely en-.
gagged in manufacturing; so largely
that If the issue were made between
n protective and q free trade tariff,
it is very probable that two-thirds
of those States would be protection.
Then why oppose the i%nvitablc?
1T is as true now as 1t ever was that
whoever spits against the wind
splits In his own face; and consider
ing that South Carolina's policy led
to the war which forced the Gov
eminent to contract a debt of near-
lythree thousand million dollars,
the payment of the interest and
principal of which. together with
providing for current expences and
pensions, requires an annual revenue
of nearly three hundred million
dollars, is IL becoming i'm South
Carolina to pirate about free trade?
