From the Sumter Freeman.
A Strong Letter.

Editors The Freeman: / feel satihed
that you will publish, without request,
the call of the State Prohibition Exec
utive Committee for a State Conven-
ton to be held in June, but | want to
say something more.
Ehe critical condition of our State
demands that every intelligent man
give heed and endeavor by reasonable,
legal methods to prevent the calami-
ties which threaten US.
The political factions have gone so
far that all agricultural and other
business interests are endangered, and
common sense dictates that an honest
effort be made to remove the cause.
The Darlington tragedy has demon
strated beyond a doubt that the pas
sions and p%rejudices of our people
have been so played upon by those
who sought Office that bitterness and
hatred are fast taking the place of
former neighborly kindness. 1t is
generally admitted that the occur
renee at Darlington was but a natural
product of the liquor traffic. The dis
pensary law which gives to the State
the most complete monopoly of the
sale of liquors was the immediate
cause of the killing, for it has not the
support of the people and cannot be
enforced. I know there are some who
support it because 1T is an adminlstra-
ton measure, but cut 1t apart from the
administration and it has few supper
tiers. The moral, christian people can
not support the sale of liquor as a
beverage either by the State or the In
dividual because they believe it a great
moral wrong. Those who drink the
liquor will not support the law for
they say better liquor was sold by the
old bar keeper for less money. And
the old liquor sellers will not support
the law for they claim that the State
has appropriated their business to its
own use. It is evident then that the
dispensary law does not rest on the
will of the people and cannot be en-
forced.
Now the danger arises from the
peculiar political antagonlsm of our
people-town against country. Should
the Governor-and | believe that his
present purpose-arm the country
people as the militia of the State and
send them to quell some ~dispensary
difficulty, trouble would ensue. I do
not doubt the bravery Of South Caro-
linians because they reside in the coun-
try. If ordered into a city or town by
the Governor they will go; the
animosity bred by office seekers be-
tween town and country will excite
and stir the people; in the heat of pas
sion a man may be slain; business in
terests are forgotten in an instant.
men Of adjacent towns rush to the
support of the citizens, the country
people flock to the support of the
militia and then where bloodshed will
end no living man can say.
That is. no overdrawn picture, but
the true condition of our State and the
prohibitionists appeal to all good, true
men, of both political factions, to unite
and remove this great evil, the liquor
traffic, from our State.

of dollars is directly charged with the
redemptionof three hundred and forty-six
millions OF United States bonds.
When it is proposed to initiate our sill
yer currency it is time for strengthening
our gold reserve instead OF depicting it.
I cannot conceive Of alonger step toward
silver monometalism Than we take when
we spend gold to buy silver certif-
Gates for circulation, especially in view OF
the practical difficulties surrounding the
replenishment Of our gold.
This leads me to earnestly present the
desirabiity OF granting to the secretary
OF the treasury better power than now
exists to issue bonds to protect our gold
reserve when for any reason it should be
necessary. Our currency is in such a con-
fused condition and our financial affairs
are apt to ssum at any time 80 critical
a position that it seems to me such a
course Ia dictated by ordinary prudence.
I am not insensible to the arguments
in favor Of coming the bullion seign1or-
age now in the treasury, and I believe it
could be done safely and with advantage
If the secretary Of the treasury had the
power to issue bonds at a low rate Of in
terest under authority In substitution OF
that now existing and better suited to
the protection Of the treasury.
Hope a way will present itself in the
neal future for the adjustment Of our
monetary affairs in such comprehensive
and conservative manner as will accord
to silver it's proper place in our currency,
but in the meantime I am extremely
solicitous that whatever action we take
on this subject may be such as to pre-
vent loss and encouragement to ourpeo-
pie at home and destruction OF conf
dence in our financial management
abroad. GROVER CLEVELAND.

our circulation and a corresponding re-
duction Of the gold in the treasury.
The argument has been made that
these things will not occur at once, be-
cause a long time must elapse before the
coinage Of anything but the se;gniorage
car be entered upon. If the physical
effects Of the execution OF the second Sec
ton OF this bill are not to be realized
until far in the future, this may furnish
a strong reason why it should not be
passed so much in advance, but a post
ponement of it's actual operation cannot
prevent the fear and loss OF confidence
and nervous p~recaution which would i'm
mediately follow its passage and bring
about It's worst consequences.
/ regard this section OF the bill as en-
bodying a plan by which the govern
ment will be obliged to pay out its
scanty store Of gold for no other pur-
pose than to force an unnatural addition
OF silver money into the hands ofo:-peo-
pie.
This is an exact reversal OF the policy
which safe finance dictates if we are to
preserve the parity between gold ard PHI
yer and maintain sensible bimetallism.
We have now outstanding more than
three hundred and thirty-eight millions
of dollars in silver certificates issued
