DR.. Munro is O Democrat.


In our last week issue we quite uninten-

I6 We honestly believe that Representa-
tive Godfrey d. Fowler would make far
better State Lecturer for the Alisnce than
Superintendent 1albert. 1t cannot be de-
MED that Talbcrt, by his very extreme
opinions and arbitrary enforcement Of them,
has created decided breach in the
Alliance rank, which is destined to
grow wider and harder to reconcile. unless
o moro conservative and less dogmatical
representative Of true Alliance principles
and objects is put into the field A. an
instructor. While We think beth gentlemen
have congressional "bee buzzipg in their
benuets" and would, perhaps, mako the
position Of Lecturer . means to that end,
Mr.. Fowler would be more likely to
| strengthen the Alliance column by advo-
| eating generous and firm "touch Of the
elbow" oil along tho line Instead Of assuming
| the autocrat and making dissentions, by at
| tempting to force members to think ~ ht
| does, on all Alliance measures and matters
or come under the ban Of his autocratio dis
pleasure and bs requested to step down anj
out from the 0rder.
There is in the breast Of every free Ameri
| can citizen, whether he belongs to the AL
| lance or not, natural disposition to indig
| nantly repel any attempt to invade tit
sacred functions Of his own conscience, by
the arbitrary dictation of any one, and Mr.
Talbert certainly has not, to say the least
pursued couciliatory and liberal course
tow~ra thst l~rge aud respectable number o,
the Farmers Alliance who do not agree will
him, upon either the practicability OF adopt
ing or the good that will como from certain
measures. Consequently he has done NOR
to create dissensions than to infuse a spiri
of unity and harmony in the Order, and W
believe a change Of Lecturer will be benefi
oial to the Alliance.
What we have said is solely based npor
| what we have Cleaned from conversation
with good Alliancemen men. Not beinl
eligible to membership in that Order, in con
sequence of our vocation. we cannot speal
"from authority" but We do speak from th,
| general tenor of conversation with AlIianc,
men On the subject and without tho leas
personal prejudice for or against either Mr.
Talbert or Mr.. Fowler, but candidly ant
honestly because we are friend to the Al
lance. we presume TO express IN opinion
| in the matter.

ned II can impress one thought that will
divert the attention Of an honorable class Of
citizens from politics.
The field Of politics Is not an Eldorado
for the sun-browned, sweat-stained yeomanry
of South Carolina.
III 1t was the intention { { the founders Of
the Farmers Alliance to Promote the best in
terests OF agriculture, 10 encourage econ
ony, unity and harmony, to preserve honor
and to bo in alt our dealings honest and
square, the efforts Of the original projectors
have fallen far short Of their aims. The
organization was intended to benefit and
not to injure an already debt ridden people.
1t was to devise methods Of gaining a. in
dependent living; Of buying less ON credit
and selling more for cash; of making mar
kets, creating demands, and furnishing sup
plies; Of improving conditions and placing
an honorable avocatiou upon plane of un-
questionable integrity. 1t was not Intended
to be religious or political in its workings; !;
aud for its patrons to wrestle with questions
OF church or state will eventually bring dis
aster upon the order.
The one desire of every planter is to im-
prove his financial condition, and with calm
reflection every thinker will see Mt glance
that this can be done by diligcnt attention
W tuS uutles OF his business. NO other plan
can be better. Politics and planting are in
compatible. By this baneful mixture
friends are lost, money ill spent, business
neglected and embarrassment results. What
special benefit will accrue to one farmer in q
hundred if the subtreasury scheme sue.

wrought if it fails What will it matter to
the average planter whether Governor Till.

their mining contest? The condition OF
how many Alliancemen will be improved
by j. Talbert beating his plough share
into political pruning hook, and using the
order ss vehicle to ride from the growing
fields to the cushioned office?
But wage workers and bread winners will
fail TO read the correct answer. Then why
grow so restless or be so eager TO SOW seeds
of discord? Why not SOW to reap a harvest!

The whole systom must be changed before
we can have fair play in this State. Much,
however, can DO done through tho county

SPLIrrfsa THE DEMOcaArIo PARry.-lt Is
unfortunate that some Of the Alliance leaders
are using the sub.treasury schsmo as an
entering wedge to split the Democrat 10 party
In the South. We do not say this is their
design, but IL is the inevitable effect Of the
present agitation carried to its logicsl con-
c'usion. The Alliance cannot be united ia
sentiment on the propriety and advan-
tage Of the scheme. Governor Tillmau is

Would the success of the scheme put any
more money in circulation and put the poorer
GLASS OF farmers in any more advantageous
position than they now occupy? The object is
to enable the farmers to borrow 80 per cent
~ the deposit in the nationsl warehouse at
per cont. The man who is under the
necessity Of borrowing money on his crop
will rarely ever be able to raise the money to
redeem it. In that case the government will
sell at the end of twelve months and the
farmer will find the proceeds frem tho 20
per cent. will usually be consumed in costs,
