''Thc TIllmaniteS' Hate for Con-
SGrvativeS."
Mr.. EDITOR: In last week s

Mr.. EDITOR: In last week s
Chronicle, Mr. Bacon says:
ave know, literally, of no class of
men who have been SO wronged by Till
manism as the quiet, Conservative citi-
zens of towns and villages. And not
content with hatred and malice and
abuse towards these Conservative citi-
izens of towns and villages, it seems
that Tillnlanism Is rapidly going from
bad to worse"
Now, if this hatred by the Till
NANTES for tie conservatives is su
and | know it is not the case tu
any cnnsi lerable extent it might
possibly have been brought about,
not through the teachings OF Till
man, but by tho eternal, perpetual,
hateful abuse and ridicule the con-
servative papers, for the last four
years have daily and weekly heap
ed upon the Reformers, or Tillman-
ties, as Mr.. Bacon prefers to call
those not belonging to the conser-
vatlve faction. For instance, here
is a mild specimen from the pen of
the would esteemed mild-man-
nered, lamb-like high-toned gentle
man, Editor Bacon, as published in
his paper Of the 22ud May last:
HA! HA! Hal HA! HA.
"Since Judge Gotf's very righteous
decision as regards the registration law
of South Carolina has brought vulgar
tyrants to their senses and brutal bull
lies to their knees, what are the SO. call
ed Democratic Executive Committee Of
EGgefeld going to do about their pri-
mary on the 10Th July? With their
ability gone to basely turn the regis
tratiom laws against their own white
brethren, what are the TillmanIts 60
ing to do anyway? Gentlemen, the
Conservatives cannot be expected to
take too much on faith. They know
the parties TREY are dealing with too
well; and unless perfectly fair con-
tract is proposed, then, let come what
may, the Conservatives will control the
Constitutional Convention, and the
Tillmanites will know what it is to be
in helpless minority"
Actually shouting hozan.lahs at
the overthrow of the Registration
law-our only protection against
negro rule and negro domination.
But fliend Bacon was little too
previous in his gloritication. And
the Registration law is still the law
of the land, and only those negroes
who are duly enrolled and have
their registration certificates will
be entitled to vote at the election
of delegates to the constitutional
convention.
The above, as stated, Is only Il
mild specimen of the rough abuse
aid villilicatlon Mr.. Bacon has
poured out through his paper, fol

Columbia, S. C.
DEAR SIR: l desire to express my
appreciation OF your kindness in SO
promptly settling the claim of my sis
ter, Mrs. Anna Il. Swearingen, for life
insurance in your company.
It's certainly a. benefcent feature
of the Maine law that gives person
insured right to collect the full
amount or face Of the policy for a GER
tain period, less the amount Of the
premium unpaid, and it should make
your company very popular. Such in
surance is really an investment.
With best wishes for your continued
success, am, very truly, etc.

The SITUATION.
r. G. Dun & Co. Reviews the Outlook fs1
Trade.

NEW YORK, May 20.-R. G. Dun &
Co. 'ssweekly review OF trade says:
The severe cold snap. with extensive frosts
and in some states snow, has fortunately done
little damage TO the great crops, though much
10 fruit. but has greatly retarded retail trade.
The best news OF the week is the advance OF 10
per cent. in wages by the Carnegie works. fol-
lowed by the Jones' Nc Laughlin establish
ment, and evidently implying a similar ad-
vance In many other concerns The Illinois
Steel company Is starting its furnaces without
granting the demands OF employees. No
advance has been found practicable
ia the wooden mills. where conditions
as TO prices aud foreign competition
are very different. and about 1000 workers
are still idle at Olneyville, where the works
should produce 100000 pounds per week In
other departments Of labor troubles are not
serious and the demand for manufactured
products increases. The volume OF domestic
business measured by railroad earnings for the
first week OF May is AZ per cent larger than
last year. and measured by bank ex han2es
OUTSIDE Nsr iurk is only lilo per cent larger
than last year. and for the month the daily
average Is lilo per cent less than in 1893 1t Is
but fair to note that business broke down and
exchanges fell be.ow the normal average about
this time two years ago.
With material and steady enlargement in
domestic trade. there is still great want OF
employment In the interior for money which
comes hlther, e5oUO,UoO during the past week,
and with the millions distributed by the syn
dictate on bond account stimulates specula-
ton. Accordingly. wheat has risen cents al
though the reports OF injury by frost do not
appear upon sitting to concern any consider
able proportion OF the growing grain. With
only six weeks OF crop year left. the stocks in
sight indicate a heavy surplus, IL not large
as some western statisticians estimate
Corn has advanced only nc. though appar-
entity injured more than wheat, but the
acreage gives promise of yield Of 100000
O00.OOO bushels
Cotton is an eighth stronger, in spite of the
fact that BALLOT bales had come into sight
last Friday. which is over four hundred thou
sand bales more than the largest crop ever re-
corded
for the past week at the three chief markets
The markets ere quiet. almost unprecedented
apathy for the seJson prevailing. but because
stocks of foreign ools held here are remark
ably large and are offered at prices relatively
lower than those demanded By western grow
ers
Foreign trade for the week shows a heavy
decrease, 80 per cent compared with last year
in exports, and the decrease In May thus far Ia
about 20 per cent On the other hand, the i'm.
ports for May increase less than per cent
In consequence the government revenue has
materially decreased. the excess OF expendi-
lures over receipts for the month thus far be-
ing $500. 67E
Failures during the past week have beer
eli. in the United States against 2is last year
and 81 In Canada against "a last year"
