The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1896-07-15

The action of the Northern man
ufacturers of cotton goods in shutting
down their factories at this time
and the consequent throwing Of so
many people out of employment
gives color, at least, to the settled be-
lief in the minds of the working
class that there is a deep laid and
well defined purpose on the part OF
the money power to lay it's mailed
hand upon the neck of labor and
throttle it's energy and paralyze the
business interest. The concerted &C
ton on the part of these mill own
ers, as well as the hesds of other
industries, just upon the eve OF
national campaign that will lead up
to the greatest political battle this
country has ever witnessed, is evil
dence that an effort will be made 10
coerce labor to do the bidding OF
capital, by the Inauguration of the
starving policy. These tactics should
teach the people the necessity OF a
change in the financial policy of the
government, and the adoption OF a
system that would make it impossi-
Bile for a few to contract the cu.-
rency to the injury and suffering OF
the many.
The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1896-07-15

It is beyond the possibility Of a
successful contradiction that Senator
B. R. Tillman has contributed more
than ony other man toward awaken
ing ahope in the hearts ola dispairing
people that he has been the instru-
ment Of revivipg the interest in
the cause of the Southern
and Western farmers. He has
been the one man most hated by
the gold bugs for upsetting their
plans and turning their apparent
victory into defeat. Is it any Won
der then, that he has excited their
lasting enmity? Is it any wonder
that the gold bugs squirmed aud
wriggled and Kissed under his
scathing but truthful denunciations?
But Tiilman is used to all this kind
of opposition. The same things
with tried in South Carolina but
without success. They will prove
unayiliDg in the national campaign.

II. HARMAN. Editor aud Publisher.

VIM. j. Bryan of Nebraska, and
Arthur Sewall of Maine b We been
selected by the Democrats to carry
their standard to victory. Their
nomination is regarded by those who
have given the conditions surround
ing the two great parties much
thoughtful study, as being strong
and gives the Democratic party more
than fighting chance for success.
The. issues upon which the two par
ties will go before the country and
ask the suffrage of the people have
been clearly joined and we'll defined.
The Republican party, with McKin-
ley at its head. stands for the gold
standard and for a protective tariff.
The Democratic party is committed
to the free coinage of silver at the
ratioof 16 to /, and tariff for reve-
nue.. Upon these two great issues
will the battle of ballots be fought
in November. There are, of course.
many other issues, but they pale into
insigni6cance when compared to the
Importance of these two. We pub
ish on the outside of this issue
resume of the work of the conven-
ton, together with the portraits OF
some of the more prominent mem
bers and the platform upon which
the party will be led to victory or
go down in defeat.
