The Vice Of Weak Races.

Lying is the vice of weak races OF
nations which have been conquered
and held down by foreign power,
oppressed for centuries by despotic
native government. But it Is eight
hundred years since the last conquest
of England and within three or four
generations the Normans become Eng
lishmen. and instead of crushing or
impoverishing our national life, added
to its spirit, its grace, and its daring.
For many centuries we have all been
equal in the sight of the law.
Our vices are likely to be the
vices of an imperial rather than an en-
shaved people. In whatever other
virtue we fail, we ought not to fail in
truthfulness. We ought to be truth
full without effort. For us it ought
to be more natural to tell the truth
than to tell lie. Truthfulness is in
our very blood our natural traditions
enforce it.
For any of us, therefore, to be liar, is
exceptionally shameful. 1t is worse
SYMPTOM among US than among any
other people. 1t is more certain indi-
cation of moral feebleness or moral cor
ruption. 1t reveals all exceptional
meanness or baseness oran exceptional
recklessness. 1t should create alarm.
Itshoud lead to severer and more siren
uous self-discipline in order to sup
press it. When we lie, the chances
are that we shall also be guilty of
other vices of the most disgraceful and
ignOmiDious kind.

In wild state of CONSERVATION tonight over

charge of criminal conspiracy While a

legislature, In 1887, Ignatus Donnelley, now
president of the Farmers Alliance OF this
State, secured the passage of constitutional
amendment, which was adopted by the peo-
pie in the fall of 1885, 1t is now section b OF

follows.
ANY combinations Of persons, either as
individuals or as members or officers OF any
corporation to monopoliZe the markets for
food products in this State, interfere with or
restrict the freedom of such markets, Is here
by declared TO be criminal conspiracy, and
shall be punished In such manner US the leg
islature may provide"
All action taken under the now famous
Muller circular comes plainly under this law.
President Donnelly admits that q line of
conduct which, when pursued by the MEM
bers OF the Chicago Board Of Trade is a
criminal conspiracy, can not be anything
less atrocious when pursued by theimembers
OF the Farmers Alliance. The law TO catch
the speculators turns up to plague the far
mers themselves, and they will not make the

THE ALLIANCE EXCHANGE SOLD OUT.
bled up by n Great Syndicate "-t
Looks That Way.
Cheraw Reporter.

We learn that the alliance exchange In this
State sold out at the meeting in Spartanpurg
last week TO the National Cordage company
for Sl5,OOO. The stock of the exchange is S5O,'
900 and the sale to the Cordage company was
made on pretty cheap terms, provided OF
largely paid up. The Rev. j. A. Slight OF
Newberry, 1t will be remembered, went TO
New York q short time ago, and he, with alll-
ancemen from other States, arranged to In
augurate glganuc scheme by which goods
should be furnished to every sub-alliance In
the country by the National Cordage com.
pany, and its various branches throughout
the United States. The scheme is a tremen..
dous and far reaching one, and is inaugurated
by the concern shove mentioned in order TO
get a monopoly Of the alliance business. The
Rev.,J. A Sigh, by the way the name suits
the mans character, is mixed up in the
scheme and through his influence, we sup
pose. the exchange has been sold out TO these
capitalists. On account of this little game
you may bet that you are going To hear oi
trouble in the exchange camp soon.
