A Common PrnctIce.

It's quite common for some trades peo-
pie TO persuade a customer 10 take some
other article instead OF that called Tor.
1t is sometimes called substitution, but
it's cheating the customer out Of that
which he wanted. It is always done for a
mean motive. Tie dealer who does this
has no consideration for his customer.
It's like getting rid Of something in which
the dealer himself was swindled, and vet
he must get his money out OF it by de-
ceiving the customer. We say 10 the
readers Of this Journal that when you ask
for Simmons Liver Regulator don't take
anything else instead-ft's the best liver
medicine. The advertising is increasing
the demand for il, and the people who cal
for it should get il, especially so because
there is no liver medicine like Simmons
Liver Regulator Insist upon having IT,

Of the package.

At the opening Of the campaign in South
Carolina the leaders OF the dominant ele-
ment in politics ind themselves on the
defensive, with a lot Of explaining 10 DO.
The Tillmanites went into power in the
state by insinuating corruption on the
part Of the old line democrats. and since
they have been in power they have not
hes-tated to charge crookedness in the
federal bond transactions under President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle. II
transpires that the New York Times has
recently brought TO light certain things
with regard 10 the South Carolina bond
deal Of 1893. which need to be explained.
Gov. Evans began the task Of explaining
at the first meeting of the campaign at
Manning, on Monday.
1t appears. from the statements printed
in the Times and repeated in South Caro-
lima papers. that an Augusta broker was
given the job Of floating bonds, TO refund
the Brown consols." before the legisla-
tion necessary to the issuing Of the new
bonds was enacted. The Augusta broker
was made the states fiscal agent by
Gov. Tillman upon the recommendation of
Mr.. John Gary Evans. then a member of
the state Senate. Mr. Evans was presi-
dent Of the Senate when the refunding bill
was passed. The charge IS that he was
the paid attorney Of the Augusta broker
OF that time, and subsequently until he
was elected governor. He made several
trips to Baltimore as the agent Of the
broker to take necessary legal steps 10
collect a certain commission claimed by
the broker from the bond syndicate. In
the deal the state allowed the syndicate
six months interest on the bonds, and
the syndicate allowed the broker IL per
cent. commissions. Out of the bonus
which the syndicate got from the state.
according to the testimony of a member Of
the syndicate, $4,000 was paid "to parties
in South Carolina having political iniu-
ence. whose names had better not be men
toned" DIR. Bates, the state treasurer,
admits that he received $500 for work
done by him as the agent of the syndicate,
but claims that the work was clerical, in
no wise conhicted with his duty to the
state, and that he consulted Tfllman prior
to accepting the commission, and was told
that It was all right.
The difference between S7S,O0O the sum
said to have been paid to the parties with
political influence. and $780, the sum
which DR.. Bates says he received, is un-
accounted for. Senator T.nman says he
got nothing, and declines to answer in
detail with regard to the transaction,
deeming it sufficient to say that person
al and political enemy of his wrote the
Times article. Gov. Evans went into de-
tails at the Manning meeting but. accord
ing to the News and Courier, he missed
the whole point of answering who got the
remainder Of the $4,000. The question of
who got the commissions remains unan-
swered. and the News and Courier point
eddy asks, How much is Gov. Evans to
get?" For it appears that the fee of the
attorney Of the Augusta broker is stin
'in allegiance" according to the govern
or's statement on the stump
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-06-24

Senator Gail Of Florida. who is a can
didate for reelection, did not find very
much 10 comfort him in his recent visit
10 his state The Florida democrats did
not declare for free silver coinage as he
expected they would. and he is not at all
satisfied with the Florida delegation TO
Chicago In an interview on his return
10 Washington he is quoted as saying
that the Ocala convention as originally
chosen was two-thirds or three-fourths
for silver. but that the corporations We're
strong enough TO control its action. We
do not know how the convention originally
stood but when it began voting il was
apparent that the sound money faction
had a small majority. IL is not at all
complimentary 10 the delegates to say
that the corporations OF the state had
sufficient influence to induce a very large
number of them 10 abandon their cor
victions on the monetary question and
to adopt a policy their judgments did not
approve.
Senator Can has been making war on
the corporations Of his state so long that
he believes. probably. all that he charges
against them. He seems 10 have the idea
that the railroads are against the best
interests OF Florida. and that it is his mis-
sion in life to practically ruin them.
We doubt that the Florida railroads
have injured the state in the least. On
the contrary. they have had a wonderful
influence in building # up and developing
it's resources. Without the railroads,
which Senator Call finds so Objectionable,
the state would not have half the popu-
lation and wealth il now has. Take away
the railroads and a large percentage OF
the inhabitants would leave the state.
We are not defending the Florida rail-
roads nor railroads generally. Ne are
simply saying that the railroads are en-
titled to fair treatment. We 90 not un-
dertake to say whether or not the Florida
railroads Cypress the people. We assume
that if they did steps would have been
taken long before this to restrain them.
Senator can never misses an opportuni-
ty to attack the corporations of the state
particularly the railroads. He has done
more than any other man in Florida per
haps TO create a feeling of hostility to
them. BY his talk in Washington it ap-
pears that in his campaign for reelection
to the Senate he intends to keep up his
fight on them. He may be successful
but the outcome of the Ocala convention
indicates that his popularity is on the
wane
