SEVERAL TRAINS TAKEN OFF.

rnlnmhia Sfata

The serious depression of the money mar.
ket and the stagnation of all business Is hav-
ing its effect on the railroads., and the Rich
mOnd and Danville system seems to be SUI
fering badly from thisc cause. The South Car
DINA and Columbia and Greenville divisions
especially have felt the total stoppage or all
freight shipments, and Superintendent bod
son has decided to meet the difficulty In the
only way possible.
He says that no guano and lumber are
being shipped anywhere, and there Is nothing
for the freight trains to do. This time last
year five trains were travelling over the U.
&. division, while now one train every other
day does all the business necessary.
As matters now stand the road cannot pull
through the neXtmonth, and therefore Super
intendent Dodson has decided to take OF
three freight trains at once-one Through"
and one local" on the e. & g., and enc 10.
cal" on the c., c. i A. division. The mixed
train between Greenville and Newberry,
which has been running daily, will hereafter
run only every other day.
Col. Dodson states also that while he re-
grets the necessity has arisen he will have to
cut off a good many of his carpenters and a
large number of laborers in the shops here
for the remainder of the month. He expects
| things to recover from their paralyZed condl-
ton by February /, and says that then ne
will put all the trains and employees BACK:
He says that ii is also very prooaole that ne
will have to reduce the working time at Tie
shops from niue to seven hours per day.
Mr.. Oodson states that the road mas not
hauled u dozen carloads Of guano this season
and he has never seen SO many engines stand
ing idle in a round house or any road.

STATE BANK NOTES.
The Farmers Alliance Opposing a Re-
turn to Their Use.

turn to Their Use.
The New York State Farmers ALI
ance is much exercised over the Demo
cratic proposition to repeal the prohibit
Ory 10 per cent. tax on state bank issues
John Chamberlain, president Of.the ALI
ance, as representative of that organiza.
ton, has issued a circular to the farmers
and laborers under the caption, "The
Peril of the Nation"
The section of the Democratic national
platform recommending that the pro-
hibitOry 10 per cent. tax on state bank
issues be repealed stands, the circular
says, as danger signal for the sons of
toll to warn them that such repeal COM
prises scheme to re-establish the wild
cat fuctuating currency of a generation
ago, when the state bank notes were of
varying and uncertain value, and to the
loss of the farmer, the planter and the
labOrer. The notes then were subject to
discount of 10 per cent. The circular
continues: colder men must look with
dread upon this midnight madness move
ment to repeal the state bank tax if they
Will recall IIle COuulllOL Ol tue currency
prior to the war, when the losses by
counterfeits, broken banks and discounts
were appalling, and when many of the
state banks were started with the pre-
conceived purpose of swindling the COM
munity by irresponsible and unscrupu-
lous Wall street adventures from whose
Offices the bills were issued, the nominal
location of the banks being fixed at re-
mote and obscure points difficult of &c.
cess to prevent the presentation of such
issues for redemption"

One other thought which comes to
these old soldiers as they gather here
and note the magnificent record of the
past quarter of century: This reduc-
tion of the public debt; this wonderful
decrease in rates of per capita indebted
ness and interest; this unparalleled
growth in commerce and commercial
prosperity; this magnificent tribute of
the nations affection for the old soldier
element; they are all the work of the Re-
publican party, whose wisdom and states
manship have controlled the policy Of
the government ever since they gave US

together. One is plowing in the political
furrow of tariff reform, civil service and
gold, while the other is pulling the old

silver and spoils. Between them you do
not know where you will fetch up. When

A DEMOCRATIC MANUFACTURER.
He Tells Why He Proposes to Vote for
Harrison.

Harrison.
Florien Grosjean, the head of the La
Lance & Grosjean Manufacturing COM
pany, of Woodhaven, Long Island, has
announced his intention to vote this
year for Harrison, protection and reci-
procity. Mr.. Grosjean has always been
Democrat.
The big factory of the company of
which Mr.. Grosjean is the president
manufactures agate ironware and gives
employment steadily to 400 men, The
factory building covers six acres. The
people who labor under its roof take
away several thousand dollars in wages
for each day of their toll.
Mr.. Grosjean gives clear reason for
the faith that is in him. II am" he
said, livery fond of Mr.. Cleveland. l
have always voted the Democratic
ticket, and have done what l could to
help elect it. Both times that Mr.
Cleveland ran l voted and worked for
him, but can no longer antagonize my
own interests, and the interests Of the
1,400 men in our employ, by lending en-,
couragement to free trade propaganda.
1t is plain to me that the establishment
of free trade system would eventually
force us to close our factory and throw
ont of work the operatives"
