THE PENSION GRAZ,

The pension grabbers continue to
reach out for all there is in sight, and
the people will continue to "psy the
freight" The number Of pension
bills introduced. during the first
week Of Congress was pretty consid-
cradle. In fact if all bills of the ma
ture of pension bills be included the
number is immense. In the machin-
cry of Congress there are varied
terms for bills of the same charac-
ter. For instance an immense num-
Der of them is presented "for the re-
lief of" Mr.. or Mrs. So-and-so, and
while these are not termed pension
bills, they are in reality nothing else,
for they are intended as grabs at
the peoples public money. These
bills equal, if they do not exceed, in
number the so called pension bills.
Therefore when You read the record
of pension bills below, you may
safely double them if you want to
arrive at the truth of the "gra bling
game.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1895-12-19

The number of pension, not includ-
ing "relief' bills introduced during
the first week Is as follows: Tues
day, Dec. 3: Senate, A; House, "a.
Wednesday, Dec. 4: Senate, Is;
House, not in session. Thursday,
Dee. 5: Senate, 26; House, not in
session. Friday, Dec. 6: Senate, not
in session; House, II. Monday,
Dec. 8: Senate, 80; House, 76.
Some of the bills are for individual
pensions, but large number of
them involve the pensioning of many
individuals. The pensions named
range from $l2 90 to $4,000 per
month.
We will give the number of these
pension bills hereafter in our Con-
gressional reports.

And the little DENY papers continue
to busy themselves about every body's
business but their own. They are now
saying that Pritchard is already stated
Tor place in Mckinley's eabiret and
that Butler is to be treated @just like
. Republican" Well this is whole
sight better than being treated like
any honest, fearless man treats the
Democratic party to-day.

Senator PETER, from the committee
on pensions, has reported back the
Senate bill i242) to require payment of
pension money to wires in cases where
male pensioners DIES ert or abandon their
families or are babitual drunkards or
for any reason fail and neglect to sup
port their families. So. Such bill
as this is a downright admission that
habitual drunkards and buns of all
kinds are carried on the national PEN
sion rolls and supported by the people
who work and pay the cost. There are
some great beauties about this pension
system. There are deserving men on
the rolls, but how about ''habitual
drunkards," "family deserters," &c. 1t
is disgrace to the nation and espe-
cially to the G. A. r., that such things
be.
It appears to us that the Democratic
press is trying to ding what little
brains it has together in an effort to
break up fusion. The absurdity of
such movement from that source is
pitifully ridiculous There may be fu-
sion or there may not, but the deny
press will have no influence in what
ever may occur. Say, denny papers,
what if there should be no fusion? 1t
won't do you any good. You may make
up your minds that the people are eter
nally done with your gang. Obstacles
much greater than fusion are in your
path-your own party lying and hy-
pocrisy for instance.

EVERY farmer would do wei TO read nd
study the article in another column on Cot
ton Acreage. But realiug a'one will not do
any good. Little reading and much action
will accomplish great deal more than much
reading and no action. The farmers do
great deal Of reading now, and we are
glad OF it, for 'ishtenment is the first ste
toward lasting prosperity. As class, we
believe that they read more now than other
business men. This is one the good works
accomplished by the reform movement that
has swept over the South and West during
the past five years. 1t has made cranks of
some, but it has made others read and think
We are adeptsid theorizing but that will
not do Us any good. The occasion demands
action. We are confronted by condition.
Gotten brings only five cents. For various
reasons We caanot make it At that price
Now what are we going to do about it: We
may grumblc and complain and blame Wall

Farmers and Commercial Fertilizers.

If the guano dealers expect to sell any
goods this year they must cut their prices
and cut them deep, too. They have only
made reduction of about ST. so on the ton,
and our planters are determined not to pay
this price and are unit in this move. The
past week talked to not less than fifty
representative farmers, from different por-
tons OF Spartanburg county, and they de-
clare, 10 q man, that not q dust of guano will
they buy until the dealers come TO their terms
that their next crop of cotton is already
sold at from three TO four cents and
that they are not fools enough with
this light before them, to 60 in debt for COM
mercial manures, and give all their crops
next fall to the guano dealers. On the other
hand. whether they raise much or little
they will control it, and will come out with
more clear money in the end. This is a wise
determination, and bolieve it will be adhcr-
ed to- And not only in Spartanburg county
are the farmers fixed In their ideas TO do
without guano, but the same sentiment pre-
walls all over this and other southern states.
Aud believe, too. that if our planters will
stand together, and they can frrce these
guauo dealers into terms. They now
have their goods made up, and must
sell them. By next season half their strngth
will be evaporatcd. and their value lost. So
/ say TO farmers, stand hrmly III your tracks
and you will whip this fight rs you did that
jute trust. There is no justice in everything
the farmer grows selling below cost of pro.
duction, while be must pay big profit on
what he buys. 1t is altogether wrong. We
see from the daily papers that guano dealers
recently held a meeting in Columbia and
formed a trust, by which they agreed to re-
duce the manufacture oue-third so as to
hold up prices. This little feint at reduc-
ton they offer over last year is no induce
ment whatever.
Guano forms a component part af the cotton
crop, and should bear its share Of the re-
duction in price, and not make the poor far
mer carry the whole load.
