Are the Three Links Joined.

MR. EDrroR IL heard gentleman re-
mark few days ago, thst there were three
suspic Gus liuks that may be intended to
fastcn the State of South Carolina to the
Republican doctrine of Protection. At the
time heard the remark, did not think
there was any foundation for the suspicion,
but upon reflection, l am inclined to be a
little suspicious, too, and would much like
to have my suspicion removed, for l am as
strongly opposed to the doctrine of protection
rs any Farmer, WHO is opposed to trusts,
combines and all other merccncry monopo les,
ought to be.
If | am not mistaken, two years ago,
there was a commotion in the Democratic
ranks because Uncle George Tillman, brother
Of Capt. r. Tillman and The Crngressmsn
now representing. .the-Congressional Dis
trct had either made q strong protect Oh
speech or otherwise gave such unmistaka5lc
evidence of his belief in the doctrine, of Pro-
lection, that anti-protection candidates for
Congress were brought out to defeat him. At
any rate, / think it is understood that VIII le
Uncle George, is sound in all other Demo
cratic doctines, he stands on the strongest
plank Of the Republican p!atform-the protec-
ton of invited wealth.
Now l don't know how Is. r. Tillman
stands upon the protection doctrine, but a
few days ago saw the question asked in
lhe Capt. may be nll right on that question,
and sincerely hope hs is, but ss the Char
lesion World, the only avowcd "protection''
paper in this State, is now being commended
rs the champion of the Tillman cause, and
the Augusta Chronicle, published just across
the State limo from where the Capt. lives,
another strong protection sheet has also
espoused the Captains cause. it does look
as il three strong protection links had
of trusts, combines, monopolies, &C., that
thrive only upon The protection policy of the
Republican party.
knowingly the middle joint in the threo
links, or that there is any collusion between
the three, but everybody must see that there
is some foundation fSr the suspicion, and, in
justice to himself and his friends the Captain
should plainly tell us how he stands upon
that single question.
Mr.. f itor, | assure you that no captious
feeling toward MIR. Tillman promps me to
make this enquiry; hut feel it to be o
very imports matter, for there may lie
danger that ''protcction' Congressman and
Legislators may ride into position upon the
wave of State reform which now seem to be
irrcsitibly rolling over South Carolina. \,
democrat am, (pcrhaps unnecessarily so,)
suspicious ofanyboiy or any thing that squints
toward a pet measure of the Republican,
party, particularly. when nm satisfied
that that measure will inevitably do grea,
injury to the interests of the Fdrmers or any
other class Of people i'll the South.

AFARMERs MEETING

There was cnll meeting Of the farmers Of
Union County at Union May l, and the
Alliance Editor happened to be there by
special request. While the good farmers
talked the Editors head ached. The good
farmers felt aggreved, and passed resolutions
which they requested to be published, which
their sentiments shows.
Without the least ref> ctions on the con-
vention, but to relieve the misconsiructions
of some wish to state once for oil, that tho
meeting was not an Alliance meeting. Tho
Alliance is not political organization. Our
constitution does not interfere with our politi-
cal or religious opinions. 1t only aims to
make us, of every faith and creed, better men
