EDITOR ADVERTISER:
You seem to think it a little
strange that Col. Irby and others
are so quiet on the Sub-treasury.
They were not elected to run all
over South Carolina to make I'M
called for speeches. They have
been elected to do their speaking
in the United States Senate and
Congress. Our opinion is that Sen
ators and congressman, who have
been going to and fro over the
State, trying to make people be-
lieVe the worse was the better
course, had better take the counsel
of Solomon, who said that q fool
was known by his much speaking.
Such Senators and congressman
need not think they can throw dy.
InN,ifn infn Tho hlionno n,
The Alliances are wide awake to
their duty. They don't propose to
be led astray by dead-head-fossils
trying to make the people believe
that a man belonging to the ALI
ance is not a Democrat. If the
members of tho Alliance are not
Democrats, Democrats are conspic-
uously scarce in South Carolina.
We would say to Col. Irby and
others, get your iron hot before
you strike and let the sparks roll
in every direction and stand by
your people through the Demo
cratic party. The Alliance is the
backbone and sineW of the Demo
cratic party and they will stand
to you. BIG JACK.
The Alliance, through its organs,
salaried lecturers and other off,
GERS, is pushing the Sub-treasury
agitation. Note the Economist,
the Cotton Plant, Willets, Terrell,
and Jetferies. 1t will be remem-
bered that Col. Stackhouse was
lately president Of the State Alli-
ance, that Col. Irby is now a county
lecturer, and that Capt. Shell,,is
reported to have been a candidate
for district lecturer. 1t was in the
light of these facts among others
that the wonderment of the AID
VERTIsER was excited. Big Jack
is very sound in his advice TO Col.
Irby and others to stand to the
the Alliance through the Demo-
cratic party and this Col. Irby for
n has manfully and unreservedly
promised to do, Capt. Shell is said
to have made a Sub-treasury speech
at Kirby Springs, Spartanburg
county, Saturday. EDITOR.
