The Address Of the Independents.
To the People of South Carolina:


On the third Tuesday of August a
convention will be elected which will
meet at Columbia in September to
make new constitution for this
State. This election will be as i'm
portant to you as that Of 1876. The
men who will represent you in the
convention will have more power
than any officials provided for by our
laws. They will create law. By
their action all the legislatures, the
State and county Offices, and judges
will be governed hereafter. All your
personal and property rights and
those Of your children, your liberty
and your children's liberty, the honor
and prosperity and ceace oitthe State
will be in keeping of that convention
II the day Of election Of delegates
finds you disorganized, undecided,
divided by factional differences, per-
sonal preferences and local interests,
the politicians who control the party
organization and the State election
machinery, the patronge and all the
official influence, will easily secure
absolute control of the convention
which will have such enormous power
over you and yours.
We believe you have too much love
for your State, too much love respect
foEAyour own liberties and rights to
surrender such power to men, whose
only interest and apparent purpose
is to secure for themselves perma
nent place and rule, regardless of
the results to the people and Of the
will of the people.
The Conservative Democracy is
the OILY political organization in
South Carolina not controlled by the
politicians who are now in Office.
For that reason it will offer its active
aid and co operation to all citizens
who sincerely desire that the new
constitution be made by free men
who will represent, respect and
guard the interests and feelings of
the people regardless Of the ambi,
tions and needs of politicians, such
men to be chosen consent, if posi-.
be, by straight untiring fight if

Il have not withdrawn from the

in good faith if we can be met half

ion is that the basis Of the agree

do 10 England's commerce would balance
tho damage which the latter, with its pre-
ponderating naval strength, could do to
American property In the seaboard cities.
England today possesses something Ike
l2, 900 ships, sail and steam. The total
number couple of years ago was II, $50,
with a gross tonnage of IL, 969, 95l. Her
imports tn 1893 amounted 10 G439, 793, $50
and her exports TO 929l, $40, 166. The food
imported into England that year was
valued at R142, 49s, 2s4. These are tre-
mendous figures. and any form OF attack
which could paralyze this tremendous bust
ness would bring misery upon millions.
"Of course the commerce In British bot
toms which did not enter or leave the
waters Of the United Kingdom would also
suffer from the warfare of destruction
waged by our swift cruisers, but do what
damage they couldit would be small COM
pared to the billions Of loss which would
result from the destruction of the build
ings and their contents of the great sea-
board cities. English merchant ships
would travel in groups and be conveyed
by ships of war, and the commerce de-
stroyers would have 10 do battle with
these bepre they could sink or capture the
merchant craft.
"As for the comparative strength Of the
two navies, IL is easily estimated. Eng
land has 27 battleships. America has one
unless the list is swelled by the addition
of the double turreted monitors Amphi-
trite and Miantonomoh, and the coast
defense ship Monterey, now in Pacific
waters. The Oregon and Massachusetts,
can be ready for service before May l, and
the Iowa, larger and more formidable

In fight in about g months.
"In armored cruisers America believes
that she is better equipped than England.
The New York and Brooklyn are believed
to be able to outsail and Outright the
Blake and Blenheim, while our Columbia
and Minneapolis would be expected to out
distance anything in sight. The ocean
creyhounds which could be called into
service by England would do better service
in carrying troops than they would in
fighting, for naval men arc "A unit in de-
claring that war vessels should be built
for war and cannot be successfully adapted
from merchant craft. Tho Columbia and
Minneapolis stand pre-eminent in tho
minds of naval experts and there Is little
doubt that they would make short work
of the Lucania or the Campania IL they
met.
In smaller cruisers England outnum-
bers the United States, but IL must be re-
membercd that the great naval power can
not call upon n very large proportion OF
her naval strength To fight in western
waters. There would be formidable enc
mics in the rear to be looked out for as
wcU as at the front. The worldwide en-
pirc must he protected at all points, and
thcrcin< lies England's weakness. She
would therefore rather fight any other
great power than the United States. -
