life harder since this reform /. e., the Nc

Mr.. McMILLIN.
The laborer has been forced to pay
more for the roof that shelters him, for
the hat that covers his head and the
woolens that cover his back. He has had

hammer and the hoe with which he works.
MR.. WILSON.
Daring the past year there has been a
cheapening Of everything that men make

SOUTH CAROLINA NAMES HIM AS IN
WORTHY OF ANOTHER NOMINATION.
COLUMBIA, May IS.-Tbe Democratic
State Conventions work today was over
whelmingly anti-Cleyeand The resolu-
tions embodied most OF the planks from
the Ocala platform, including the free
coinage of silver.
This is what the resolutions hal to say
about Grover Cleveland
eve see with displeasure and appre
hension that the money changers of Wall
street have invaded the sacred temple of
Democracy, and they will try and force up
on our party a candidate representing, not
the wishes and wel,-being of our people,
but their own selfish interest. We assert
that Grover Cleveland does not represent
the principles of Democracy as Taught by
onr forefathers and as we understood
them. We therefore entsr our solemn
protest against the nomination of GroYer
Cleveland or any other candidate known
or believed TO be selected i'm the interest
OF and at the dictation Of Wall street.
We demand as our standard bearer a man
for the people and with the people, and
who will serve the people aud not any
class or faction.
ave shall look npon the nomination OF
ex-President Cleveland as forced upon
the party at the Chicago Convention, as
a prostitution of the principles of Jeffer-
sonlan Democracy, as re udiation Of the
demand Of the Farmers Alliance, which
embody the trne principles of Democracy,
and as a surrender OF the right OF the peo-
pie to the financial kings of the country.
We believe we voice the sentiment Of the
large majority of the white voters OF
South CarOnl when we assert that Che
nomination Of any Wall street candidate
woud create grave dissatisfaction in the
State Democracy

Blind Toms Sister.

Speaking of the insanity of Blind Toms
sister, a special from Columbia, Ga, says:
She early displayed a positive aversion
for music The sweetest me- )dy and most
enhancing harmony cause her to rave.
The notes of a c0rnet drive her to DIES
peration and SIZE entertains such a hatred
for pianos that she can no. restrain her
self whenever she sees item. She has
tried to ruin several pianos. aud as for
yio.ins and flutes she smashes every one
that comes within her reach. She is per
fectly sane when she hears no sic, but
the moment malodious sounds cause her
tympani to yibrate. her brain becomes
heated and she is transformed into raw
ing maniac A phren logical examination
shows that there is depression where tia
organ of tune should be. In Blind Toms
Uranium tbare is an abnormal development
there. Scientific men are u2zed to ex-
plain tie phenomenon, and they advance

Some of our free trade friends In Rich
mond have organized tariff-reform club,
so-called, the purpose of which is to dis
tribute sntl-protection literature in the
south. II the new organization would
entitle itself to public confidence and
credence it will begin its work by a
frank confession that the statement made
for mere party purposes in 1890, viz that
the Mckinley law would enormously in
crease the cost of Lying, was unfair IN
ception and has been falsihed by events
A further avowal that it is all a mistake
to say that the tariff IS tax on American
consumers would be another step along
the line Of candor and honesty that would
greatly strengthen popular faith IN the
sincerity of these apostles of anti-Jeffer-
sonian and snti-Jacksonian theories Of

William H. Vanderbilt, son of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, died in New York, of typhoid
fever, Monday night.
Mr.. C. F. Moore succeeds Major S. NJ.
Yost as editor of the Talley Virginian,
Clifton Forge.
At the Third party convention held at
Charlotte, N. c., it was resolved to pre-
sent the name of L. L. Polk to the Nation
al Convention at OHIO as a presidential
candidate.
Mr.. John B. Moon, of Albemarle, direct
tax commissioner for Virginia, was robbed
in Washington Saturday Of something
like $50, Just as he was getting off Mid
land train.
The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette, under date of May
23rd, says: "The general impression at
the Capitol to-day is that Mr.. Blaine will
be nominated and that he Will accept"
Gov. William Mckinley, of Ohio, will
deliver the former opening address at the
dedication of the big convention hall on
the night before the opening of the Re-
publican National Convention at Mime
apolls.
The other day a journal, hitherto with
out a spot on It's character, inquired with
well-feigned innocence, "How can five
persons divide five eggs so that each man
will receive enc and still one remain in
the dishG" After several hundred people
went two-thirds distracted in the mazes
of this proposition the journal meanly
says: Zone takes the dish with the egg"
The remains of seven Confederate SOL
diers were unearthed by farmer while
blowing in field near Boonsboro, Nd,
asst week. The bones we're only about a
foot and a-half below the surface and the
skulls especially were we'll preserved,
even to teeth. Fourteen bullets were
found with the bodies, some Of them be-
ing imbedded in the skulls. Shoes, buck
les, &C., were with the skeletons.
The Washington Post in leading edi-
torisl Saturday asserts. upon positive
knowledge, that while the Hon. james G.
Blaine will do nothing to solicit the NOM
nation of his party and has indeed con-
sistently discouraged the purpose of his
friends in that direction, he would, new
ertheless. be proud and happy If the Min
neapolls Convention should unanimously
tender him the nomination, and he would
unhesitatingly accept it.
In his speech at the Cleveland meet
Ing in Richmond last Wednesday night,
Mr.. John Goode is reported to have said
that "the only dissatisfied people were
those who were hankering after the flesh
pots and who wanted the lightning to
strike them With little Office" Was the
late Senator Barbour hankering after the
fesh-posts, or do Senator Daniel and
Judge Staples want the lightning to strike
them with little Office And yet the
former was, and the latter, and majority
of the democrats of the State, and, what's
of more consequence, OF New York, are
dissatisfied with Mr.. Cleveland, not per-
sonally, but because of the conviction that
he is not the most available candidate

this overproduction has existed only in

are the items of beans and peas, of which
our small exports have been decreasing

PEAS.

Now, beans and peas are profitable
crops, and there is no good reason why
we should have to import bushel of the
ordinary kinds. That is the view the
trainers Of the Mckinley tariff took of the
situation. So they raised the duty on
beans from 10 per cent. to 40 cents a
bushel, and the duty on peas from 10 per
cent. to 20 cents bushel. With this ad-
ditional protection our farmers can now
20 on and turn some OF their wheat lands
into beans and peas and be sure of fair
price for their product, regardless OF
Canadian competition, while at the same
time reducing the pressure on the wheat
market.
