iniqultous laws in favor of classes
and corporations and against the
masses, and there has got TO be q
reckoning some day.
came up here as Governor of my
State and stood out in the cold
around here on North Capitol street
for four hours, nearly frozen TO
death, to be present at a jollification
and glorification upon the inaugura
tion of q Democratic President. with
Democratic Senate. and a Demo-
cratic House God forgive me for
being such fool.
"Honest money" exclaimed Mr..
Tillman, scornfully. You have
chunked us with that Internal phrase
until you have got raw on it,"
Here | pause again to interpoEate
the assertion that during the four
years that he (Cleveland) was Presi-
dent, from lSS5 to 1899, and since he
came again in 1898, he has never
had by the hand a simple, square,
straight, honest toiler in the field.
He knows nothing about farmers,
and more's the pity, he cares moth
ing about them.
Mr.. Tillman was charging the
President with usurping the rights
of Congress. "Why have you not
impeached him9" he cried. looking
over at the Republicans. "You have
nearly three-fourths majority at
the other end of the Capitol, which
alone can formulate articles of i'm
parchment. Why have you not i'm
peached him7 Because he is carry
ing out Republican policies.'
"How was it in the last Congress"
asked Senator Hawley. "That Con-
gress was Democratic"
81 have already paid my respects
to the last Congress- said Mr.. Till
man, "and hoped to have been able
to have said better things of the one
the people have now sent here, but
they are all of one kind-cowards
and tools of monopolies."
Before | get through, you will
realize the fact that speak plainly
and bluntly and use the Anglo-Sax-
on, the vernacular, the language of
the common people, for | am one of
them, and l expect to tell you how
they feel and what they think and
what they want"
A cataclyism which will give US a
military despotism or leave the re-
public redeemed, regenerated, and
disenthralled is just as sure to come
as that yonder sun shines in the
heavens, unless we do our duty here
and take our hands from the peoples
throats and give them an opportu.
nifty to breathe aud work and live.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The House
committee on Military Affairs to-day
decided to recommend the creation
of national military park on the
Vicksburg battle field and will re-
port to the House the bill introduced

the land is limited to $50, 900 but the
entire expense of the park, if the

Resolution Commenting the Senator's
Speech in South Carolina Legislature.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Jan. 3O.-In the
House of Representatives to-day Mr..
Godfrey Fowler, of Union, intro
duced the following resolution,
which Was referred to the committee
ON Federal relations:
"Resolved by the House of Repre-
sentatives, the Senate concurring,
That we have heard with pleasure
and interest the eloquent and patri-
otic speech of our junior Senator in
the United States Senate. Hon. B.
R. Tillman. on the 10Th of January,
and we desire to say that by all We
are and hope to be, We will sacrifice
our lives if necessary, in resisting
tyranny and oppression, believing,
as we do, that resistance to tyranny
is obedience to God.'

1t Makes an Honest Man Laugh To See
How The Goldbug HirelIngs Try to Meet
Tillman's Little Taps.
We give herewith a sample gold
bug criticism of Senator Tillman.
AS usual, abuse and not argument is
resorted to. This ridiculous and
desperate denunciation comes from
the Washington Post which is owned
jointly by Republican and Dem
ocrat. The Post does not take up a
single charge made by Tillman. This
journal like all other hlreling tools
of Plutocracy would be burned by
coming in contact with the truth,
| and all it can do is to spit and splut-
ter and rave and "cuss" like spiteful
old tom-cat that gets mad at the
sight Of a splendid mastiff. What
the Post says is just about what all
goldbug, monopoly sheets will say,
but the game of slander and abuse
is about played out. Here is its
vile splutter:
"No language fit for the ears of
innocence and virtue would ade-
quately deal with Tillman's obscene
eruption. His vile attack upon the
President, upon Secretary Carlisle,
) upon the Supreme Court, upon every
person, thing, and institution that
| decent men are in the habit of treat
ing with respect, must pass, as fal
at least as this paper is concerned,
without analysis or definite and spe-
} cifc commentary. There are evils
in politics, as in society, which can
not be advantageously discussed
9 save behind closed doors and afte,
due apology. Enough to say tha
!, Tillman is no longer merely a re
!. !. proach to South Cal olina-he is {
: blot upon the Senate, an atflictior
!, to the whole nation, fragrant ana
chronism to an enlightened age
If he be, as has been said, a prod
uct of that "New South" of whicl
we hear so much, then give us tn
old South back again with all it
! faults and weaknesses. 1t may, pei
- haps, have been a South of passiol
. and of prejudice, naughty, turbu
= lent, fanatical, and narrow, but
was the cradle of brave and courts
\ Gus gentlemen, and it kept its black
guards and its rufians at home"
The philosophy that enables th
Post to speak Of the South plae
10 of prejudice, turbulence, fanaticisn
l. and as the cradle of brave and coul
/ teous gentlemen in the same breat
is "too many" for u.s..

what he saw and learned there con

his mind. We make the following
extract from his letter:

half dozen men in Burke county who
are not aware of the fact that l am
a Republican, and have been for
thirtytive years. Since the silver
question has been agitated l have
advocated the coinage Of the Ameri-
can product, but since my visit to
Washington, where l had An oppor-
tunity of hearing the most distin-
guished men in the country, both in

question l am completely converted
to the Free Silver Policy in other
words am for the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at a ratio of
lG to l. When syndicates can be
formed who can hoard all the gold
in the country, which had recently
been done in New York, and seem
to be in a position to make any
terms they please with this govern
ment and who say: "We have the
gold and we intend to make you sell
US your bonds at our own price,
this alone, if nothing else could be
said, it seems to me is sufficient to sat
isfy any man that the single gold
standard would be ruinous to this
country. l could write columns Civ
ing my reasons for being for the
coinage Of silver, but do not deem it
necessary in this communication. 1t
may be said by some that l am not
adhering strictly to the principles of
my party, which would not be true.
The people in this country and all
foreign countries are in favor of the
coinage of silver, and those who IA
vor a single gold standard are the
bankers, capitalists and privileged
classes"

Is it Ignorance or viciousness !?

In Justice to our late grand jury, we
wish to say those gentlemen did not in
tend to say that anything was crooked
on the treasurer's or clerks books. but
that no statement could be found of in
debtednese. In order to find out the
status OF Grant it now becomes necessary
to make out lists OF all debts and check
off those which have been paid. No
small job. A list checked from time to
time would tell the standing at all times.
We are making out this list.-Peoples'
Demands.
This is the second or third time the
editor OF the Demands has made the as
sertion that mo statement could be
found Of (parish) Indebtedness" 1t is
not true. The recorded and published
proceedings Of the police jury of April,
1896, has list Of the claims due by the
parish up to January, 1896. and the cler-
ical work of making up the indebtedness
since that time is small affair to any
man of ordinary capacity. We showed
this list to the foreman and one or two
members of the grand jury. but they did
not see fit or think it incumbent to have
Editor Dunn, clerk OF the police jury,
make them statement, as was his bust
ness and duty. There is no excuse for
ignorance of Mr.. Dunn in repeating this
erroneous statement, and it is apparently
done more with slanderous intent than
to serve the public or get at the truth.
