also advocate a financial system oy
which the working man Of any pursuit
will be enabled to hypothecate the
value of his labor for loans at flexible
rate of interest, diminishing from two
per cent. per annum when money Is
abundant to nothing at all when 1t is
scarce, thus preventing the boarding OF
money by capitalists. The notes issued
by working men are to have their rate
of interest expressed on their faces and
will be payable when funds sufficient
to meet them have been earned and ac-
cumulated and will be legal tender for
all debts. Its believed this will sup
ply an abundant volume of currency
based on the best Of all security, the
good faith and honest toll of the people,
accomplishing the long cherished pur-
pose of all statesmen by making each
man his own bank of issue and supply
inc each citizen with flexible volume
of currency varying according to his
needs.

For campaign purposes explosive bev-
eraces and bird will be banished and
spring water and collards will be adopt
ed as the theoretical diet of the mem
! bers.
TO be in plenty of time the manifesto
for 1892, to be signed by a leading char
ter member, will probably be issued in
a few days. 1t will charge that the
present State government has done no
thing.
That the only one of the thousands
of useless offices it has abolished is that
of Master in Laurens County.
That salaries have not been reduced.
That none of the corruption and lep-
rosy alleged to exist in the old State
government has been revealed.
That the clerks in the State House
are as many and as we'll paid as ever.
That the Farmers Alliance and sub
treasury candidate for the United
States Senate was defeated along with
Wade Hampton, who led the people in
peace and in war and who has never
been accused of violating any of the
laws of his State.
That of the Legislatures prior to 1890
were bamboozed and debauched that
of 1890 underwent the same process as
it defeated the separate car bill and the
administration railroad bill.
That one member of the present Leg
islature holds clerkship in the Comp
troller Generals office while another is
private secretary to Senator Irby, for
whom he voted.
That the present Attorney General
is trying to abandon the position to
which he was called by the people and
become Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court.
That, with the exception of the
change Of the mechanical department

to get into his keeping more power
than any man has ever claimed in
South Carolina.
That so far from making the Rail

ents Of the Governor.
That on the whole the people appear
to have no rather less say in the man
agement Of their affairs than ever be-
fore and if there was need or room for
reform il should have been applied now
instead of waiting until two years
hence.
That there appears to be tendency
just now to regard and treat the people
as a vast assembly of imbociles and
there is no good reason why The Peo-
pies Party should not initiate the il
lustrious example put before it.
1t is believed that with these weapons
of attack on the present order and the
new issues and dazzling developments
Of craftsmanship it will present, The
Peoples Party is the coming party and
will achieve glorious success in secur-
ing excellent places for all its charter
members and making things so that
hereafter when any able and ambitious
young man desires an Office he will not
have to go to consult any big or little
boss, but will simply have to get on the
Peoples Party and ride inf he can
find any place not previously bespoken.
Members of the Press who will aid
the new party will be taken care of, in
imitation Of the great Reform Move
ment the leaders of which so vigorous
ly denounced the subsidized press of
the opposition and so generously recog-
nized the self sacrificing support OF the
pure patriots whose pens were en-
ployed in the sacred cause Of reform.
