WHY Does The So.CallctI '':SrEna Aoncy"
Man Want all international Agree
ment for the Restoration of
I5ImetaIIiSm
From the National Bimc.nliiStl

From the Natlona! D!mcsoii!St
This question is worthy of more
careful consideration than it has
heretofore received. If we have
sound money" now, it ought to be
satisfactory to every honest man,
and it would certainly be wrong to
change it.
Still, the country is full OF people
who occupy the anomalous position
of defending our present gold stand
ard as both sound and "honest.
and at the same time declaring that
they are in favor of an international
agreement for its overthrow, because
that is what bimetallisin, whether
national or international, actually
means. If there is 30 difference be-
tween international bimetalliSln and
the present gold standard the change
will do US no good, and it IS Il waste
of time to bother about it. II the
gold standard is sound and "hon-
est" and international bimetalliSm
is something different, then it follows
with mathema tical certainty that
such an agreement as they advocate
will give us a standard both unsouud
and dishonest. Two things cannot
be different and also be the same. If
a certain yardstick is just the right
length, it is. of course. an honest
vardstick. 1t is sound Any other
vardstick which differs from it must
of necessity be of improper length
and consequently unfair, dishonest
and unsound.
Hence, comes the very pertinent
question: What would be the effect
of restoring bimetalliSm by interna-
tional agreement? 1t is as plain as
light that it would raise the value OF
silver and lower the value OF gold.
| If England, France, Germany and
the United States should concurrent
| ly agree to coin and use both metals
freely at certain ratio, it is mani
| fest that the demand for money use
which these great nations make upon
gold alone, would be divided between
gold and silver. Under such condl
tions, it is Just as certain that goiC
would become cheaper as it IS that II
would melt in a sufficiently hot fire
If anv man on earth denies that.he i
simply disputing the great law Of
supply and demand. But no honest
man, who knows what he is talking
about, will deny it. So, we Will take
it for granted that international bl
metallism would make gold cheaper
But if it is honest money now, what
moral right has any power 10 make
it "cheaper!'' Cheap money, ac
cordinS to the argument OF the inter
national bimetallist Is dishonest
money His objection to free sill
YER is that it will 'debaSe" the cur
rency by making it cheaper. he
claims that we connot raise silver to
level with gold: that as a result
gold would retire from circulation,
leaving us with Il silver currency
cheaper than gold, and therefore de-
based, and dishonest to creditors.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1897-07-28
FOR STATE SENATE.

But how is it any worse. to make the
currency cheaper by substituting sill
Yer for gold than it would be to treat
the gold in such way as to make
that cheaper? Would not the credit
or be affected in precisely the same
way? How much worse would it be
for man to pay his debts in silver
worth 25 per cent. less than gold is
now, than it would be to force gold
down % per cent. below its present
level and then pay in gold? There
would be no difference whatever.
No one who really understands the
principles involved in this great con-
troversy can fail to see the absurdity
of the position assumed by the inter,
national bimetalliSts of America.
The explanation is found in the fact
that there are two classes Of ''inter-
national bimetallists" One class is
composed OF persons who either know
nothing about the question, or who
understand it very imperfectly.
They have a vague idea that the de-
monetiZation of silver was wrong,
and that it ought to be restored.
But they have been frightened into
the belief that the UNITED States
cannot do it alone" In a confused
and indefinite way they imagine that
if we can only get an international
agreement we will be all right.
The other class consists Of men who
may or may not understand the
question, but who are satisfied with
the existing monetary standard, and
do not waut silver restored at all.
They pretend to favor an interna-
tional agreement merely because
they believe that il is impossible to
get one, and that by keeping the
people in pursuit Of this phantom
they can prevent any action by the
United States and thus maintain the
gold standard for all time. These
men, Of course, care nothing about
the absurdities and contradictions
of their arguments so long as they
win. The very essence Of the ''silver
mems" contention is that by the de-
monetization Of silver gold was made
dearer, and therefore dishonest
money. That the effect was to lower
the prices OF all the products of labor
and consequently to increase the bur
den Of all debt. If this be true, the
act cannot be defended upon any
principle of natural Justice. 1t was
an inexcusahle, indefensible and un-
considerable wrong, and no amount
of sophistry or special pleading can
make it right. If it was wrong, that
wrong should be undone, and it can
be undone in no other way than by
the complete restoration OF silver to
the right Of mintage and legal tender
which it formerly enjoyed. In what
ever way it may be done, whether by
the United States acting independ,
emily or concurrently with other ma.
tions, it is bound to make gold
cheaper by lessening the demand for
it. So, we say that the international
bimetalist who charges the free
silverite" with dishonesty in trying
to get cheaper money" is either
deceived himself Or is trying to de.
ceive others.

MAYFIELD WON'T Do.

Candidate Mayfeld has charged
Governor Ellerbe with duplicity in
the Metropolitan police matter, which
when properly considered, is seri-
Gus charge. Governor Ellerbe, al
though not candidate and has not
the privilege to go upon the stand
and reply to Mr.. Mayield, has given
to the press denial of the charge
and demands the proof.
To say the least of it, Mr.. Mayfeld
has placed himself in a very unenvi-
able position. He was 6 personal
friend of the Governor, so much SO
that the Governor appointed him on
his staff, and if what May6eld says is
true, there is nothing in it other than
to show that Mr.. Mayfeld has ez-
posed private conversation and that
he has injured himself more than he
has the Governor. It is evident that
all of this rot of AIayfeld's is to di-
vert the attention away from McLau-
rim. Mayfeld is posing as opposed
to the Metropolitan police and the
Dispensary. What is his leg
islative record? He was largely in
strumental 10 having the Metropoli-
tan police blu passed, and there never
was stronger advocate for the Dis
pensary; but as soon as a guberna-
torial bee began buzzing in his bon
net he makes complete somersault.
We venture if the United States
court had decided in favor Of the Dis
pensary cases Msy6eld would now be
pointing with pride to his Legislative
career. Now that he has charged
others with duplicity we would like
to know if there is any foundation
for the story that in the election of
Judges at the last session of the Gen
eral Assembly, Senator Mayfeld, now
a candidate, gave his word to Solici-
tor Ansell, pledging him not only
his support, but offered to make the
nominating speech, that when the
ballots we're recorded, Mayfeld's bal
lot was against Ansell. If this was
done-if A1ayfeld pledged his sup
port 10 Solicitor Ansell and went
back on it heis not the proper man
to charge duplicity to others.

We are often asked as to the status
of the Dispensary, and the question
is one that has gotten beyond our
grasp. The United States Court has
put the institution in q hole and un-
less the Supreme Court pulls it out it
will stay there and be buried. With
original package shops on every hand
it would be utter folly for the State
to undertake to continue business and
the sooner there are some steps taken
to either close up the original pack
age shops or grant them license the
better it will be for the State. At
present the liquor dealers are in
clover, they sell their goods without
paying a cent for the privilege and
besides they are rot required to fS
up their places OF business attractively
as would be the case of regular

The Lilly Whites" have met with
Waterloo at the hands of the Presi-
dent. The main fight between the
two factions of the Republican party
in this State was settled by President
Mckinley recognizing the Regulars"
by the appointment of Mr.. Lathrop,
of Oraugeburg, to the District Attor
neyship. Melton, "Lily White" of
Columbia, and Won Kolnitz, q gold
bug Democrat, of Charleston, but
who made Mckinley speeches at the
North in the last campaign at salary
of one hundred dollars per week.
were the defeated applicants. Junius
H. Evans, first cousin of ex-Gov-
ernor Evans, is understood to be
slated for one of Mr.. Lathrop's as
sistants. This Evans was such a
loud mouthed Democrat that in 1890,
while editor Of the Marion "Star," he
was recognized as one of the bitterest
writer's in the State. He would not
support the regular Democratic
ticket nominated in 1890 and was one
of the good Democrats" who put
forward the Marion County fusion
ticket which had upon it Mr.. F. D.
Bryant for the Legislature. Evans
has never returned to the fold and is
now full fedged Republican with
both elbows upon the pie counter.

If HE ISN'T, WHAT Is HE!

a communication from Candidate
Ferd D. Bryant appears in another
column. That gentleman thinks we
are ungrateful for receiving his
money for card in our paper and
then criticizing his politics. Ar.
Bryant should understand that when
he paid US FIVE dollars it was for an
advertisement in The TINES and not
to close down our pen with reference
to what we think of him. We do not
regard him legitimate candidate,
because he is not in accord with the
national Democratic platform on the
main question-fnance. He claims
to be bimetallist, but he is the same
kind of bimetallist as Grover Cleve-
land and John G. Carlisle, that is, if
his speeches are to be our guide to
Judge from.
This is primary under the rules
of the Democratic party and We con-
tend that any man who is opposed to
the platform of the party is not en-
titled to the support of the members
of that party. If Mr. Bryant will not
endorse the Democratic party's hnan-
cial plank, lie is not in accord with
the party and should not ask for sup
port from its ranks.
Mr.. Bryant denies that there was a
fusion ticket in Marion County. He
denied it at Packsville, but when
questioned closely admitted that such
ticket was voted and that his name
was upon it. We assert most posi-
lively there was a fusion ticket in
Marion County in 1890, composed of
white men and negroes and this
ticket was put into and voted for at
the general election in opposition to
the white mans ticket nominated in
the regular Democratic primary; the
fusion ticket referred to had as one
of the names upon it, Mr.. Ferd D.
Bryant, who now is asking for votes
in the coming Democratic primary.
It will thus be seen that we are not
opposing Mr.. Bryant on any factional
lines nor because he supported Judge
Haskell, our opposition is because he
differs with US upon the financial
issue. Ellerbe, johnson, Norton and
McLaurin all agree upon this issue,
and they stand with both feet upon
the Democratic platform, and as we
said last week, either of them would
make q good representative and
either one would be in accord with
the views of the people OF this Sec
ton.

breeches CAL Hemphill wants MIR.
McLaurin to suggest to us mot to
talk and write so much. Then 1t
makes itself more expressive by the
parting shot: 'sMany a deserving
candidate has been badly beaten by
his fool friends
Had the ''News and Courier" re-
produced the editorial which brought
forth such a suggestion, its readers
would have been able to see where
the shoe pinched, butt did not do so,
and we are only left to remark that
Mr.. McLaurin is not in the habit Of
suggesting to The TINES, and were he
to make the "fool" suggestion to US
that our contemporary makes to him,
we would be alarmed at his mental
condition. Mr.. McLaurin has moth
ing to do with the paper, not one
cent of interest, in the shape OF stock,
loan or gift. He is subscriber and
no more. It is the editors proud
privilege to be classed among his
friends and he is doing what he car
to aid him in his election.
The suggestion that the editor not
"talk" SO much is rather gratuitous
and unwarranted, not even ''copperas
breches Cal" Hemphi!l, the editor OF
the sNews and Courier" can point
out where we have been talking so
much" Outside of the columns Of
The TINES we have had nothing what
ever 10 say, unless jocular remark
made in Charleston that "Irby will
not carry Laurens" is what our friend
OF copperas breeches fame alludes to-
AS to writing so much, we would like
to know wherein we have written too
much, and as the 'News and Courier
has assumed to speak for those who
are likely to vote against AlcLaurln
on account of his ''fool friends, will
it not have the kindness to point out
the offending articles which have ap-
peared in The TINES. We do not mean
that it take little paragraph from
an editorial and make mountain out
of mole hill, but take up an edito-
rial written since the opening OF the
campaign, and we DEFY "copperas-
breeches Cap' Hemphill to point out
anything illegitimate. The article
which seemed to have raised the ire
of our Charleston contemporary,
treated on the s'News and Courler,s
position in the last national contest
and it erdeavored to show why the
'sNews and Courier" thought McLau-
rim made mistake il sticking to
the principles OF the Alliance. 1t
also expressed the belief that to have
the Metropolitan police removed a
deal with the syndicate would not
accomplish the result. Now where
does the talking" and writing so
much come in, is something some
"iool friend" OF "copperas breeches
Cal" Hemphill ought to make plain.

The Charleston "Post" may think
itself right in its preaent attitude
towards Governor Ellerbe, but we
are OF the opinion that it is doing its
own cause no good. Suppose there
are some who at one time believed
Charleston should have a Metropoli-
tan police and these become con-
vinced that the system is hot working
satisfactory, how can the "Post" ex-
pect any aid from such, if day in aud
day out it pours wrath upon the only
man who can be approached upon
the subject?
We know of our own knowledge
that a change OF mind has come to
the minds of some close friends of
Governor Ellerbe, but they cannot
approach him on the subject so long
as this constant fire is kept up. If
the 'sPost" will pardon US, we will
suggest that it devote its editorial
columns to some other subject and
give these friends who were formerly
for the present police system an op-
portupity to present the causes for
their change of mind.

THE PEOPLE SELECT.

One OF the healthiest signs of the
day is the serious thought given to
public affairs by the voters. There
was time when the voter depended
entirely upon leaders. who, as gene
raj thing, were some favorite lawyers
or County officials, and these gentle
men issued their edicts, which were
accepted and carried out, but now, if
a man wants the votes of the people
he must meet and talk to them. He
must convince them that he is the
right man for the place, and if he
succeeds in convincing them, it mat
ters not what leaders may think or
say, the people are going that way.
The truth OF this is seen in our pres
ent Congressional race. The leaders
have not been consulted nor are they
going to be, every voter who heard
the candidates, formed bis own con-
clusions, and when those conclusions
are sought to be changed something
more is needed than this candidate is
mot true Reformer" or "that man
will not carry his own County" An
argument showing the unftness OF
the candidate who made the impress
sion will have. to be adduced. How
does any man know who will carry
this or that county? No. Voters,
when you hear man talking such
stuff against candidate put it down
he is interested in that candidates
opponent and he is simply trying to
get votes for his favorite. If you
have made up your mind to support
a particular candidate, let not your
intention be diverted by some frivol-
Gus rumor. The candidates spoke at
three places in this County, and il
there was aught against the political
career of either of them, at the meet
ipgs was the place to make it known
It is not fair to circulate reports cal,
culated to drive votes away from g
man after he has passed On, when an
opportunity was had to say in his
presence what is being said behind
his back.

The Senatorial party is now max
ing its way into the up country, and
as the contest progresses the more
confident are We that if the people
will turn out to vote on the 31st day
of August, Johr L. McLaurin will be
Overwhelmingly endorsed. This cam
paign has put the people to thinking
as they have never thought before
about things political, and although
hampered by having to contend with
three sharp politicians, McLaurin has
made speeches that are revelation.
Who is there tbat Las read one of
these speeches without feeling cou-
vinced of the correctness OF our rep
resentative's position? We do not
believe the people are satisfied with
travelling in the old ruts; they want
a change as an experiment to see if
better condition cannot be brought
about.
