To buy a lot of Dry Goods, of which he
stood in ncc.i,
And when ho priced Sunday Suit, it
made McGinty smile,
For he hadn't hoped, for four and half,
to put on SO much style.
Then McGinty thought hc'd like to buy
Il Hat for Sunday, too;
lie was immediately shown Il stock Of
them, styles both rich and new,
And from the lot a Hat was picked, which
made McGinty grin,
The price was only fifty cents, it was good
enough for him.
The next article which met the eye upon
McGinty's list,
Was a pair of Sunday Shoes, he said, he'd
''loikc the bist;''
He then was shown pair of Shoes which
made McGinty laugh;
1t was the latest thing in Balls, for just
one dollar and a half.
Now McGinty took notion that he'd
like flannel shirt,
For he knew he was getting things cheaper
by far than dirt.
\ shirt was held before his eyes, which
made McGinty hollcr,

Now Il little dress for the youngest one
was the next thing in demand.
The kid he said hadn't gotten into pants,
but was often in the sand.
An all wool Linscy came from the shelf,
McGinty gave a whoop;
He said at lSc. Il yard 'twould cure Mi
chacl of the Group.
For Mrs. McGinty Il dress or two and a
nice new Sunday Hat,
IIc thought perhaps would insure Il rest
for the family cat.

McGinty's gaze;
White. Goods, all patterns and prices, did
his fancy quite amaze;
And when he thought of all these goods
McGinty began to dance,
For his pockctbook still held enough for
an extra pair Of pants.
McGinty paid strictly "CAsnI' for his

An Appeal for Unity.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATIC
EXECUTIVE CMMlTTEE.

Rooms STATE EXECUTIVE CON-
MITTEE,
COLUMBIA, S. c., March If, 1890.
10 the Democracy Of South Caro-
Tina:
Upon the reorganization OF the
Executive Committee, in consu-
qucncc of the resi- gnation OF its
chairman, Hon. James Il. lzlar, it is
deemed proper to issue a brief al
dress to til, Democracy Of South
Carolina, on the eve of an active
and important campaign in which
questions Of vital concern to the
State will be presented to the people,
and in view of the stubborn fact
that we arc still confronted and me
naccd by the enemy from whose cou-
troll the State was redeemed in 1876.
The existence of this enemy is none
the less a matter Of fact, although as
an active and organized foe to good
government it is not SO clearly seen
as in former days. But the domi-
nant party in the Federal govern
mcnt, flushed with its restoration to
executive and Legislative power, is
just as determined to-day rs ever to
wrcst from our hands the control of
this State, and rs il looscs "rounh III
other sections of the country, the ne.
cessity becomes more imperative Ii

States, where the Identical mass OF
ignorant voters, so long used to ou1
disadvantage, are ready to respond
to the call of their Republican leaders
whenever an opportunity is given
for their rcsuscitation us Il political
power.
Tho threatened interference with
the conduct o. elections in sovereign
States, which is being SO adroitl,
and persistcntly urged in the Con
gress Of the United States, makes i,
highly important that we shall no,
close our eyes to the danger OF th,
situation, or rest supincly upon tho
victories of the past.
The numerical majority exists il
South Carolina to-day which mad,
possible the oppression and misrul,
of the carpct-bag governments
and it is only waiting suitabI,
opportunity to be welded agains
the intelligence and virtue of til,
State. Hence it is incumbent upol
us to remain watchful and vigi
liant, never loosing sight for mo

1t Is astonishing with what clearness
of vision and quicknsss OF perception
our friends, the protectionists, object to
the protective features when they cut
the wrong way. SO long as it is the
farmers bull which is gored they are
happy and cheerful in consoling him
with the fiction Of home market which
they are generously providing for him.
But they view protectionsm In quite
another light when 1t rstards their trade
Thus we have had the cry for free raw
materials from the factories Of New Eng
land which have been growing rich on the
tariff robbery for thirty years. Many in
dustries, which were bled heavily, to elect
Harrison on the Chicago platform, have
suddenly rePentod and now ask greater
reductions In the special duties which
affect them han the Mills bill proposed.
1t is not worthwhile TO stop 10 examine
whether this sudden change indicates
ignorance or dishonesty. There is no
possibility Of denying the fact that they
have altered their demands and
their pleas. They fornerly held
that free trade In raw materials
or anything else was a trade destroying
scheme of those traitors who had been
bought with British gold. Now they ad-
vocate and demand free trade In q dozen
or more industries. They cannot escape
from the dilemma Of IGNORANCE or dis
honesty. They did not know the effect
Of the tariff or they knew it and
preferred to attempt to deeIevs people BY
sophistriss and lies The most recent
instance Of this Ignorance or dishonesty
suddenly dispelled, is the case Of those
high protectionists. the Chicago packers.
The Canadian Parliament has placed a
protective tariff on lard. Now, Nr. w.
$. jerks, Of the firm of N.
K. Fairbank & Company, has nc
difficulty in perceiving that
this SIS simply scheme TO corner the
provincial market for the benefit Of q
few Ontario packers" Precisely what
the same firm with others is attempting
to do with hides In this market. There
are thousands of cases precisely similar
TO this They serve to show what
any sane man knows already
that the tariff duties are
not maintained for the benefit Of tn,
people er for any considerable class o.
the people, but for few. SO soon as Il
touches the pockets OF the few their ad-
vocaey ceases and they become frs'
traders. Mr.. jerks can see very clearl,
the sinister motives Of the Canadians il
laying protective tariff He cannot
see his own motive in laying duty on
hides simply because he lis benefited
by it. That is the whole philosophy 0
the protective tariff. The pleas that /
diversides industries and increases wage
are simply the vulgar lies Of those VIII
make money by the tariff for themselves

AS was expected the speech Of Hon. w.
L. Wier last night was full Of facts. The
FIRST check which the unreasonable and i'll
tempered attacks on the Levy Court re-
ceived was from Mr.. E. R. Cochran, who
showed that the assets of the county
were far in excess Of the liabilities, that
the state was rich, that the county was
not poor, but still might be relieved OF
burdens which the richer state could
and should bear, that the sheriff's feed
allowance had been reduced IA per cent,
and that the county levy
would probably be reduced 20
per cent. These statements checked the
foolish TRADES Of abuse againss the Levy
Court and brought to sensible people the
sober second thought that the Levy
Court was not com posed Of lot Of
ignoramuses and robbers, but Of sensibls,
honest and patriotic men--representativ
men, chosen according to system which
has obtained with commendable useful
ness and honesty for a century. Mr..
Wisr's speech carefully confirmed all Of
this and added new facts with which no
one Is more familiar and more competent
to speak. Mr.. Wier's speech in another
column deserves careful attention.
