WHITE MEN MUST CONTROL.
The constitutional convention must
be controlled by white men, not
white men with black hearts. nor
negroes. the world must be shown
t hat we are capable of governing
ourselves and that constitution or no
constitution, law or no law, court or
no court, the intelligent white men
of South Carolina intend to govern
her. Let the man who undertakes
to lead the ignorant blacks against

member that eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty. l will MT call the

cannot be had in time to affect the
election of delegates. It must be a
free open fight. l appeal to the
sovereign people of South Carolina,
the wisest and safest and purest
tribunal, to protect their homes and
liberties. They have never failed to
respond to duty. The government
OF the people must and shall be per-

The Prosperity of silver Countries.
Philadelphia Iteml
A general press dispatch quotes
the following words of Mr.. Raoul
president Of the Mexican National r.
H., on the subject of the effects of
free silver upon the Prosperity of
Mexico: 81 attributed it (the profits
of his road in excess of United States
roads, to. the impetus given to bust
ness IN that country by the use of
silver for money. For four years
successfully, during which time
roads have failed to pay dividends,
IN the face of an exchange Gin Next
CO.. OF two to one to meet our fixed
foreign charges, the Mexican Ma
tlonal tR. r. has melted a profit of
100000 a Year!
"Ihe use Of the silver dollar" he
continues, 'has stimulated every in
dusty, and there is a continued
movement of prosperity in that coun-
try. If legislation can do the
one thing, it can do the other" (al-
ludlng to the depreciation of silver
as one thing, and the prosperity of
the country, as the other.)
This testimony is of value to the
people OF this country, as it is in cor
roboration of similar testimony of
the numerous other travellers of note
and care in their observation.
1t means that free silver in Mexi.
co has had precisely the same effect
as in other frve-silver-basis couu-
tries; that is, it has been a wall of
LEGAL protection and stimulated local
industries beyond oil precedent
All Europe is being stagnated in
It's manufacturing and producing
interests by the recent rapid and un
precedented growth of manufacture
ing and production in silver-basis
countries. 1t is quite natural to see
that sllver-basis countri.s in trading
with one another on silver basis are
placed above all the ordinary COM
petition of gold basis countries, be-
cause no silver-basis country will
BUY from a gold-basis country and
pay the gold basis country two dob
ars for what it can get from a silver
oasis country-including itself-for
me dollar
Ihat is the root of the silver ques-
hon, and clearly explains itself.
