GOVERNOR TILLMAN has been interviewed
In New York. He seems to be laboring un-
der the impression that the recital of the sins
OF getting and holding office in former years
will be as effective in financial circles, as it
was politics. AS a mere contest for the of.
fees, in which there was no charge Of theft
could not affect the value bonds we think the
Governor might have gone step further and
said 80. The recital Of his victory might be,
aud is, interesting history, but as an argu-
ment for the refundng Of our bonds, 1t
doesn't count.

Settling Up.

The banks and merchants are making fine
collections at Abbeville. The Increased price
of cotton gives debtors better ability to square
their accounts than was hoped for at one
time, and the distressed condition of the
country prompts each individual to make
the best efforts to preserve his credit.
The recent warfare on capital, and wall
street in particular, has caused an unprece-
dented stringency in financial circles, and,
as a consequence the banks and the mer'
chants find 1t more difficult than ever before,
to command the necessary cash and credit.
With which to do the business of the country.
The factors in the cities are keeping close al
ter their debtors, and the city bankers nave
reduced their credits to the country banks.
while increasing the rate OF Interest.
The action of the city factors and bankers
has effected their customers in the country
towns, and the customers OF the town
banks and the stores are made to feel ana SUI
fer for the result of n movement which they.
In a large measure, inaugurated and set IN
motion.
Under the most favorable circumstances, !,
will be more difficult next year than hereto
fore, to secure the desired loans from the
banks, and those VINO QelhulI III the P"y
ment of their notes may find themselves IN
very embarrassing circumstances IN tho 1u-
ture.
But under the most favorable circum.
stances, it is not at all improbable that bar
rowers from the banks will find the rate OF
discount increased to meet the increased dis
count which the banks will have to pay.
twill thus be seen that whatever Injuries
the credit of the merchants aud banks reacts
on the credit and welfare Of the people at
large.
The foolish resolutions By the people. and
the idiotic and misleading utterances OF our
stump orators for the last two or three years
are bearing fruit which may be akin to dead
sea apples"
Instead of weakening "the money power,
we have acted so as to make the rich richer,
and the poor poorer.
But we of the South are all sufferers, and II
does nothing to alleviate the evils If we blame
anybody. For this reason, the Press and Ban
ner accepts the inevitable, and strives to
adapt itself to the circumstances that con-
front US.

Death Of Miss Jennie Zeiglcr.

Her body was brought TO Abbeville Monday
evening and was buried at Upper

rThe following communication. th nigh q little

readers ed
EDITOR ADVOCATE: - Last week this
part of the country was thoroughly
billed with red-lettered posters announc-
ing a democratic speech by Hon. Judge
Emery, Of Lawrence, Kas., for the ''stal-
wart" democrats. Taking advantage Of
the day the Peoples party were having
their convention, it was conceded they
would have big meeting Saturday night,
as the town was full Of people from the
country. The Judge came in on the
the afternoon train; no one to receive
him, nor no one called upon him during
the afternoon. At $50 o'clock came the
republicans. who commenced gathering
around the hall door inquiriDg of the
scattering democrats il their speaker
had come They very promptly informed
them that they had engaged no stalwart
dsmocr It to speak, and il they had they
had better go and bring him forth, as
they had nothing TO do with it. A num-
ber of the aiding republicans went to
the hotel and accompanied tie Judge to
the hall. But there the game was balked
again. No republican dare to occupy
the chair; and though diligent search
was made, no democrat could be found
who would consent to act as chairman.
A little before 8 o'clock the Judge
opened his own meeting having no chair
man to address. What humiliation to
address such q meeting, called by order
OF nobody, and no one would further it.
What depicted chagrin was upon the e.
o. D. countenance! After the Judge had
recovered from the embarrassment, he
commenced on the democrats for having
sold out, that they we're doing business
in theil wives name. As he became
warmed up and got interested, he began
clawing the air and stammering as
though he wasi dead earnest He stated
that he had been a democrat for thirty
five years. (but he failed to state how
long he had been the state house COM
missioner). He did tell that he proposed
to vote where he could give Lewelling
the hardest crack right between the two
eyes. He would rather continue the re-
pub'icans ten years in power than the
calamity calamity calamity single hour.
He spoke of what great state the re-
publicans had built up, and what great
mistakes the democrats had made. In
'63 they resolved that the war was fail
ure. but that was nothing to be COM
pared to the one of '92. He closed a
little past o'clock by stating that he
realized that his efforts were not sppre-
ciated, and he did not wish to bore his
hearers. Thanking them for their kind
attention, he fnishei by saying: "Vote
as your conscience dictates, but he should

ing upon the silver question, continues
to SIN against light to bolster up the
cause Of gold monometallism.
He still labors to prove that it is
question whether our government is
ready to buy up all the silver OF the
world, which he says is $4,000. .0O0, 900, at
coinage value. Do we in keeping our
mints open incur any danger OF having
forced upon US the gold Of the worldH
Mr.. Sherman knows that that "a 0O0,-
100000 Of silver coinage is money in
every realm which coins it, that by law
It 10 protected in its full legal tender
quality.
He knows full we'll that in no market
can be found any large quantity Of nm.
. coined silver.
He knows that our government in
opening it's mints to the unlimited COIN
age of silver at 16 to OF gold does not
buy silver at all.
He knows the British coinage at Ia
n 28-100 to is daily quoted 10 New York
at within per cent. Of the rate there,
gold sovereigns are quoted, both being
uncurent money there.
He knows that it has about per cent
less silver than American coins.
He talks OF 67.cpnt dollars as foolishly
az President Cleveland did Of 85-cent
dollars, for he knows that the dollar is
our unit of account and Of payment, and
that whatever may be its purchasing or
debt-payipg power, that the cent is but
its Tooth part.
Utterly ignoring the fact that money
possesses no intrinsic value, that its
value is extrinsic entirely, he talks of
puttiug 480 or $50 grainsof silver in the
dollar.
Could absurdity mount to greater
heights than for man, reputed to be
versed in economics and especially in
finance, to coolly propose that the worlds
coinage, possessed by the people, at gold
values and comprising at least SO per
cent. OF all silver can be called in by an
international agreement and the holders
compelled to take coins, giving, say $50
grains Of their CONS, issued and accepted
on the faith that law protected its pres
emit coin value and take 81 per cent for
it in new issue.
Were that little game tried to supple
ment the outraged Of 1878 he would be one
who, like Judas Iscariot, would seek q
tree to hang himself to save himself from
o worse fate.
How his words will burn into his soul
when it is prove d 10 the future, as il
surely will be, and perhaps in the very
near future, how baseless are the claims
put forward by this poor, weak old man
who has so long labored to defend his
deep treasure to the American people by
that i'll starred work Of 1873. The need
less and cruel burdens imposed upon the
industry Of the world by that act, FOL
without American cooperation it could
never have been accomplished, is draw
ing the attention Of the world to the dan
gers Of general bankruptcy.
The news from England, the control
ing center Of gold monometallism, shows
this.
The reported appointment Of Baror
Rothschild as one Of the British commits
sioners aud his declarations in favor o
silver restoration, supplementing the re
ports Of declining values and deep dis
