W. Washington, Sept. 3.-Senstor
1rby is carrying his fight against Bob Harris
who was appointed postmaster at Union over
the celebrated Tillman blacklist into the
Senate, it is said Mr.. Harris arrived here
this afternoon and tomorrow will investigate
the reasons Of his confirmation being hung
up. He said that Irby had wired Tiny
Murphy, whom he had endorsed, that there
was yet ; chance Of his landing in the office

Intends to try to withhold the Senate's con.
firmation, at once took the train to Wash
ington.
lrby is on the committee on postoffices
and post roads, and if he cannot defeat the
confirmation, he may at least delay it indefi-
nitely.
The only charge against Harris is that he
voted for Cleveland at Chicago. Harris
hopes that when the reason for the blacklist
is known he will be confirmed over any pro-
test which might be msde.
Harriss presence here will probably open
old wounds, and until mis- confirmation is
assured there will be sharp looks exchanged

day Congressman McLaurin of South Caro-
lima, "rose TO the occasion" and declared,
by the heavenly God, my people will not
stand it any longer" The ";:'' thai Con-
S.assman McLaurin's people are not going
to stand is, of course, the issuance of sound
money by the government. He wants this
government to cut loose frsm the rest OF the
commercial " orld aud establish monetary
system of its own and one that would be
recognized nowhere except in the UnitOd
States. Just who Congressman McLaurin's 8,
''people" are in South Carolina it is not
clearly apparent. The idea is current, that
he represents Gov. Tillman, Sampson Pope
Of Newberry, and "Jim' Norton, of Marion,
more than he does the people of the Sixth

Their Cure for Hard Times.

The only remedy proposed for the
present deplorable condition of bust
ness and the down grade in values of
every thing except debt, interest and
taxes, by the old parties, is to issue
bonds and go deeper in debt to the
English jew bankers. This is the
republican party's plan. The demo-
crat party don't seem to have any
plan. They do not exactly agree to
the gold bond remedy, but they do
nothing TO oppose it. The two old
twins are going to make an effort to
side track the money question and
get up a tariff talk when congress
meets, in the vain hope of quieting
the unrest among the people. The
scheme will not work.
These English bend holders draw
an annual income from the people OF
the United States of 100000, 600. Sc
stated on the floor of congress and
not denied. Cur two old parties
want the debt increased as a cure for
hard times.

Frauds on the Ballot Box.

After every election there is a great out
cry in this county, as well as from every
point of the compass, matchmaking fraud
and bribery, and it is declared on the part of
the defeated that this thing must be stopped.
The method is never very clearly pointed
out how the stopping is to be brought about.
1t is very similar to the denuncation of bad
roads with The declaration that the roads
must be mended. Both reforms stop right
there. There will be no refotm in either
the road abuse or the election frauds and
bribery till the conditions which insure both
are changed. Our corrupt politics have
their origin away up at the head. Our cor
poration system of government pollutes the
whole body polite, till it is mass of rot
tenness. And furthermore, the corporation
and special class-law system has polluted
every government In the worlds history
where it obtained, and is to-day corruptins
them wherever il exists. And the very
men and newspapers that below and whine
the loudest and most fearful are the uphold
ers and foremost champions of the systems
which cannot exist except by fraud, bribery

breed fraud is the way TO insure clean cleo
tions. There is no other remedy.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it local disease, and prescrib.

falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

ment in his last annual report to
Post Master General Bissell shows
that the number of money orders

1927 376 433; and postal notes

interest and insurance on our buildings, and
The money invested 10 same and in our
farms, comparison in the case of all our
members, will show the amount under,
rather then overestimated.
"This view of the farming interest is not
very encouraging, at least so far as the pro-
duction of grain is concerned. 1t is true
there are many little incidental productions
connected with the farm which serve 10 a
measure to ameliorate the hard conditions
which rest upon US. But with all, it is evil
dent our occupation fails to yield what is
commensurate with the toll and for the
money invested. We have for many years
been fattering ourselves there would come
better and more prosperous day, but in
our expectations we have been disappointed,
and indeed the future holds out no better
promise than the past and present, and hence
it seems useless 10 suggest any remedy,
other than as far as we can, we must accom-
modate ourselves to circumstances and
philosophically bear the ills incident to the
occupation of our choice. Maybe in time.
when we cease to overproduce, these hard
conditions will be lessened."
Alas for the despair which breathes in
those concluding lines
The above summary is followed by tables
giving the items of expense in the produc-
ton of each crop, which were admitted by
the most experienced Judgment of the men,
bers of the club to be fair, or rather under
thnn over TIE cost.
Why does Mr.. Bond say, "Maybe in
time, when we cease to overproduce, these
hard conditions will be lessened."
Have they been lessened in India, in
Egypt, in China, in all Asiatic countries,
where the farmers have long ago ceased to
overproduce the necessaries of life? The
answer is present which confounds Mr..
Bonds philosophy. The systems which rob
those people are robbing American farmers.
A bountiful supply Of the good things of
this world does not distress the producers.
When the supply, misnamed "overproduc-
tion," lessons. and under production ensues
by the increase of population, the people
are not benefited but are pushed down to
harder lines.
There are causes for these hard conditions
of the farmer which take his abundance
from him and leave him only crust And
they are being pointed out. 1t is within the
power of the farmers TO remedy the evils if
they will. And there is no cause for such
despair as these words of the essay breathe.
1--WE have for many years been Aattering
ourselves there would come better and
more prosperous day, but in our expecta-
tions we have been disappointed, and
indeed the future holds no better promise
than the past and present, and hence it
seems useless to suggest any remedy.'
That is fearful, terrible conclusion,
and means Atiatic slavery for future gener-
ations if adopted. There is remedy aud
1t is going to be applied, whether the farm
ers who stand in speechless despair will
or no.

How to Down the Gold Ring.

Now the new Philadelphia Peoples
Party paper says:
"The settlement of this question
in favor of unconditional repeal will
make things livelie- for awhile, after
which we will drop back to worse
condition than before The people
will again find themselves on the
losing side, while the gamblers,
spectators and trust mongers will be
that much more ahead. What we
want is a flexible full legal tender
paper in sufficient amount to tran
sact all of our business on a cash
basis and we don't want it through
private banks either. Remem Der
that"
There is but one other medium
through which to distribute the cur
rency among the people-Govern
ment Banks Impress that fact upon
your readers, brother 'NoaU Show
the merchants and manufacturers
how through Government Banks they
could be supplied with money at one
per cent and money at that rate of
interest would be of far more protec
ton to manufacturers than any tariff
which can be framed. Their business
would be made stable and never
subject to the pancs which apprehen.
sion of change IN the tariff laws
creates with the change of every adj
ministration.
Depositors would never lose or be
thrown into state of anxiety fear
ing the banks may suspend and COM
mence Withdrawing their deposits
and boarding thus aggrevatinp the
evils feared At one per cent inter-
est on loans the government could
distribute the money and insure de,
positors from loss. Down with
Aaron's golden calf, close Shylock' 8
national (fraud) banks. Up with an
American legal tender system of
finance and government banks and
the English gold ring is beaten.
Victory for the industrial class on no
other line of attack is possible.
