IL man is along time getting sick, or has
bccnlsick Il longtime, he canno, be cured in a
moment except by a miracle. Many of the

The Southern farmer has been raising
more cotton and less bread and ncnt each
year for the last fifteen years. lie is not
satisfied with exposing his righ: hand cot
ton % his enemy, the spccnator, but he
jumps on top Of the breast works, with
both feet, and pulls his family up after
him, by not raising his own bread and meat.
lie thus makes his two weakest points the
most exposed. lie makes a fine crop of
cotton, but he cannot consume it-hc can
not use it in his business except on the buy
crs terms. He makes little or no bread
and meat, and these he must have, even
at the sellers terms. Now this is a bad
state of things for ono who is both a seller
OF cotton and buyer of bread A man
who does just one Of these, can stand any
Eing but an earthquake; because he is
standing fiat footed on both feet. Thcman

For some time past, the press and the
people of this State have been waiting to
hear the leaders of the Alliance speak out
and say whether or not, they would stand
by the Democratic party in the campaign
Of 1892. All interest was ccntercd i'm the
meeting Of the State Alliance, at which
time ii was said the questions would be set
tied. The meeting has Eccn held, and yet
the rank and file Of the order are not Ger
tain whether they will DO required to leave
the Democratic party or not. The more
light that is shed on the sub-trcasury plan,
by reading and discussing the merits Of the
bill and the danger that is threatened, if
they desert the old party Of the people, tho
NOR" our farmers are disposed to hesitate
before they commit themselves to an I'm
tried party andpolicy, against which they
are warned by the best men of the country
Let those who are recognized as the lead
crS in the Alliance, and the editors, tln
are conducting organs Of the order, spcat
out, and say whether or not the Alliance i:
Democratic. The citizens of MissiSSpp
have been called upon to settle this pucs
ton, and the Democracy has won the ligh
to |, and we believe that we are safe il
saying that the Democracy of South Caro-
lima will stand with q solid front in th
coming campaign, though there may be
few dcScrtcrs who will lie led away Ivy tn
third party advocates.
If the Alliance cam convert the maiorit
OF the Democratic party to The suh.trraSur
idea, they might insert that sort of p,anl
in the next plat form, but if they fail in tIa
they need not talk, third party; for ever
man that is Il Democrat will stand on th
! platform and vote for the nominee of tn
convention. If any one has his mind mad
up not to support that nominee, if it Shou
be Cleveland, or some other paiiicular mal,
he is no Democrat ana should not be rccon
niZcd as such.

lance where there is not cotton factory
already and in some counties where there
is factory they will build an Alliance
factory. So instead of spending all their
time making and packing cotton, they will
produce less but they will stay with it un-
til it is ready for the Consumer. They
would thus save millions and do less work
1t cannot bc denied Properly and intclli-
