progress being made in the develop
ment of our states resources. Among
our farmers and mechanics, the stand
ard of living is constantly improving,
their children are being educated and
their debts are being paid. At no
period in the history of the state have
the people enjoyed more of the COM
forts and luxuries of life, and this we
attribute, in some measure at least, to
the achievements of the incumbent
Democratic national administration in
retarding the class legislation of the
Republican party. Within the recent
past splendid manufacturing indus
try has been successfully established in
the state, and all signs points to its
continued expansion.
We, therefore, denounce the cry for
an imitation of the currency as unwise,
inexpedient and unnecessary and as
calculated to destroy that confidence
in prevailing conditions most needful
to the continued enhancement of our
prosperity, a prosperity which has not
been halted even by the marplots and
disturbers of business, with which we
have been 80 sorely afflicted. The
voters of the state are prepared to
think for themselves. They will be
slow to endorse the purely speculative
financial remedy offered by the cham
pions of free silver at 16 to l. T1ey
will halt long before hazarding the in
evitable panic in business and paraly-
sis of industry which must follow its
adoption. Besides when it is brought
home to them that reckless tampering
with the money standard involves the
probability of reputation, the princi-
Piles of strict and stern honesty, theirs
by ancestry and education, will assert
themselves and repel the insidious ap-
peal to them to compromise or tenn.

Piles.
The national Democratic party offers
YOU in the persons of John M. Palmer
and Simon Bolivar Buckner, candi-
dates safe, conservative, wise and pure.
Men whose lives have been consecra-
ted to duty, broadened by experience
and educated to the discharge of execu-
tive trusts, and who in every emergen-
CIV and place have proven themselves
honest, faithful and true, and equal to
position. Representing, as they do,
the blue and the gray, their nomina-
ton upon the same ticket marks the
grave of sectionalism.
Their election will bind together in
triple bands of steel all sections of our
common country. Every interest,
every cause and every man desirous of
preserving unimpaired the liberty of
the citizen, with the constitutional pow
ers of the government in all its depart
ments, its honor, its integrity and the
public faith, will drive affrighted to
their loathsome dens the hideous forms
of anarchy, license aud disorder,
evoked by the nomination at Chicago
and st. Louis of the grand high priest
of communistic agrarianism, and will
transmit to posterity the blessings OF
constitutional government strong in
Justice, tempered with mercy and un-
hinchingly sustained by every Ameri-
can worthy of the name,and of suffrage.
Electors will be chosen and tickets
provided in this state for all who wish
to join in the effort to avert the disas-
ters which threatened our civilization,
to perpetuate the name, the faith and
the principals of Democracy and to
Justify the confidence which the Amer
lean public has always placed in the
grand old party of the people.
We invite and urge all Democrats in
the state who appreciate the necessity
for the reorganization of the national
Democracy to join actively in our ef-
forts and to this end they are asked to
place themselves in communication
with Mr.. w. R. Davie, the state COM
mitteeman, at Landsford, S. c. Their
suggestions, advice and cooperation
are needed. w. Il. DAVE,
