THE New Orleans Times Democrat
concludes an able editorial with the
following prophetic warning. I'm
the light of history, one can hard
ly avoid the conviction that, in the
sequence of the years, the time will
come when Am erican politics will be
matter of business pure and simple
when the American voter will de-
'termine his course by carefully reck-
oning up the results to his pocket;
but we shall then BIZ decadent ma,
ton, even though the wealth of the
world be poured into our Golfers, an
we shall yield the precedence to some
more virile race, with an ear more
attuned to the accents of natures
voice. The law of the survival OF
the tittest is universal in its scope
and pitiless in its application, and
we shall, therefore, find it impossible
to maintain our primacy among the
peoples when our flag shall have
come to stand for the twin doctrine.
of force and greed which our patrio
forefathers poured out their blood tt

THERE was reaction and in
creased activity in business circles
shortly after Mr.. McKinley's cleo
ton, which continued as long as the
war with Spain lasted. The Repub-
licans made loud boasts of this,
while the Democrats said it was
temporary, under undue stimulants.
and could not last. Now for a few
figures. For the first niue months
of this year, there were 1851 failures,
as against only 1854 for the cores
ponding months of last year. Nearly
thousand more business failures
this year than last. Bnt that is not
the worst of it, In the failures last
year the liabilities were In round
numbers f1fty-seven millions; this
year they are one hundred and one
millions. Add to this the general
loss of business by those who have
not failed, and some sort of idea may
be had Of how rapidly the trusts and
combines are absorbing the indi.
vidual industries of the country.

WHEN 1t comes to card clubs and
dancing clubs and reception clubs
and shows, we venture the assertion
that Columbia can distance any
town of it's size in the world. But
when it comes to debating societies
or reading clubs or lecture courses,
or anything else of literary char
acter, we venture to say there is not
another town of its size so absolute
ly lacking. This was not always so,
but it has been for years, and is hav.
ing noticeably bad effect upon
society. The young of neither sex,
as a class, seem to have any ambi-
ton or desire for education or liter
airy culture, and they get little in
spiration or encouragement from the
example of their elders. The pastors
justly complain that they can do
nothing in the way of protracted re-
ligious services, because of constant
HUN oOCldl .
Not week but several of these oc
cur, and it would be painful as death
to some of their devotees to miss
one of them. Is it not about time
that something was being done in a
rational way to educate Columbia to
the enjoyment of higher class OF
entertainment? We do not mean to
inyeigh against social functions gen.
orally. They are good enough in
their way, and in moderation. But
to indulge in them to the exclusion
of higher and better things, il
demoralizing, and injurious, anC
wrong. Other towns have lyceun
bureaus; why not Columbia? Mt
Pleasant has Ave literary entertain
ments to Columbia's one. And thu
people go and enjoy them. Geo. r
Vending will deliver his address
"The Man of Gallilee," in Mt. Pleas
ant on the Oath of this month. VIII.
should not Columbia enjoy that lee
ture, and others of its kind?

OUR NOMINEES.

The conventions did good work
Monday. The HERALD could not
have been better pleased II 1t had
had the doing of 1t all by itself.
There will doubtless be finer spell
binders in the Senate than Judge
Erwin, bat we question il there will
be a more capable law maker, "A
more painstaking business calcu-
lator, or a man who will do more
thoughtful, intelligent work or make
better record of service for the
people.
Capt. Arch Lipscomb in consent
ing to serve as Representative has
but needed a call of his countrym IN,
made upon him m)re than once,
though heretofore he has not felt
that he could accept. He will be the
peer OF any man in the House. He
is an old soldier, and the sort OF old
soldier who deserves anything he
asks for, because be is a sta wart,
brainy man, str light ID ,mocrat,

John Nelson, the junior representa-
tive, is the son of an old soldier, the
late Webb Nelson, and "a worthy son

habits and sound Judgement. He Is
one of the bast known aud most

DEMOCRACY OR IMPERIALISM.

DLmOSn1aSA On In E1sA AAA0AA'
1t is not month now until the
presidential election, the result of
which no man can foreteli with any
degree of certainty. But this much
is plain enough TO be admitted: The
Democrats have the best of the ar
gument, and have put the Republic
cans on the defensive, and on the
run.
The speeches of Bryan and of
BouTke Cochran are matchless
efforts of oratory and eloquenc, mas
terful for their aggressiveness, can
dor and logic. That they have had
telling effect upon the public mind,
there is no denying. That deep
down in the hearts of the people,
Bryan is the choice, there is no sort
of doubt. But it is said that the
trusts, combines and corporations
have given literally to perpetuate
themselves in power, and that Sen
ator Hanna, chairman of the Repub-
lican Doodle committee, has raised
thirty millions of dollars to corrupt
the voters in this election. Whether
this great sum of money can buy the
patriotism of the country, remains
to be seen. And that is the only
element of doubt in the race. Other
wise, the peerless Bryan, the truest
patriot and greatest man this coun'
try has produced since Robt. K. Lee
sheathed his sword, and the peer Of
any statesman OF any time or cOun
try. would receive an overwhelming
majority Of both the electoral anC
popular vote.
Since Mr.. Olney's open advocacy
of Mr.. Bryan's election, perhaps
the strongest new supporter and Ger
tainly one attracting most notic'
and comment, is the philadelphia
Times, edited by that aggressive
independent spirit and brillian
writer, Mr.. A. X. Mcclure. Tn
Times is strictly an Independent
paper, with 5000 daily readers, anC

ern states. -Four years ago 1t SUP

Jeffersonian theory of government by

be no hope of hating the present reck-

any other way than by the election of

N.*
ave are now engaged in a costly and
bloody struggle in the Philippines that
could and should have been avoided by
recognizing the right of the people to
rule themselves; and under the imperial
policy, now for the first time proclaimed
to the country and to the world, the
President inaugurates war in the far
distant East, without the authority of
Congress and in defiance of the supreme
law of the nation; and has made and
prosecuted war, and proposes to make
peace, with all the authority of the Gear
of Russia.
"The nation is thus in peril from the
threatened subversion of the sovereign
power of the land that is supporting the
concentration of capital against the in
terests of labor; that Is debauching our
political system by the open collection
of millions of money from protected
trusts to expend in the national political
contest, and that has inaugurated a
reign of reckless profiigacy and extrav-
agance unexampled in the history Of
the nation. 1t must be halted by the
people IL they would preserve their own
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people;' and 1t can be
done only by the erection of William j..
Bryan as the next President

JAMES B. FRAZIER.

Hon. James b. Frazier, Demo
cratic Elector for the State-at- Large.
made one of the strongest, most elo-
quent, most entertaining speeches in
the Court House here Tuesday that
has been heard In Columbia for "A
long time.
He is man Of such fine appear
ance and pleasing address and so
Sreat magnetisn, that no audience
can resist his charm; and added to
this he is second to no man in Ten
nessee in eloquence or logic or
strength OF argument.
He rehashes none of the Con-
gressional Record, from which so
many public men are prone to bor-
row; he INDUCES in none of the
cheap abuse of the opposing party,
80 often used to catch the crowd.
But in plain, good English and with
that earnestness born of conviction
and that eloquence natural to born
orator, he exposes to the naked eye
of the mind what Trust is, and
how, just so long as the human heart
IL selfish, a Trust must of necessity
be harmful to everybody on the ont.
side of the Trust They reduce the
price of nothing, that competition
would not reduce even lower, except
in places where, like the Cumber-
land Telephone Company in Column
bia, (the illustration is ours) they re-
duce the price to drive out competi-
ton; which purpose being effected,
the old Trust price Is renewed.
A Trust, controlling the output of
any manufactured article, not only
EFFORTS robber profit from the user
or consumer of that article, but holds
in it's merciless grasp the independ-
ence, the commercial liberty and
the happiness of it's employ ees.
These Trusts, on any one article, run
several mills or manufacturing
establishments. II the consumer
refuses to buy as much as they are
manufacturing, they simply stop
making the stuff until the necessity
of the business world simply compels
them to pay the price. If the labor
ers at one of these mills or manufac-
tories. become dissatisfied at the
cruel treatment Of their bosses or
their scant wages or half-filled din
ner pals, and protest or plead for
fairer treatment, this one plant of
the Trust shuts down, with little in
convenience and no loss to the Trust,
while they starve these operatives
into submission. Such power in the
bands of few, robs the young man
of opportunity, ambition and hope
and makes of the independent
American laborer, the unwilling
slave Of selfish men.
Mr.. Frazier also spoke with strong
argument against Imperialism, and
concluded his address with beauti.
full tribute to America, if allowed tC
progress along the lines laid out by
our forefathers.
His audience was so delighted
with his speech that an effort will b'
made to have him speak at thu
Opera House, in Columbia, some
night before the campaign closes.

for less than the trust will sell for IN

A NEW RAILROAD.

Speaking OF the new railroad talk,
the Columbia Journal says:
1--WE cannot hope for road unless
we can induce some one of the sys-
TENS near us to reach out and en-
brace us."
Now IN our judgment, that is Just
what we don't want. We want an
independent road to the Tennessee
river, so that we cannot be "em-
braced" by the railroad trust. We
do not want to be in the embrace Of
the Southern, or the Illinois Central,
or the Mobile & Ohio, any more than
we do the l.. & N. For, borrowing
the Journals own argument, rail
roads move along business lines"
and are not run "as mere matter of
sympathy" Mr.. Harrahan, there
fore, would not consider Columbia
any more than any other station on
the route. Whether you Call it pre-
judice, or self interest, Mr.. Harra-
han and Mr.. Smith would verv soon
come to an understanding as to
rates, and the embrace they would
give Columbia would be quite warm.
Columbia and Mt. Pleasant had
Just as we'll not bother themselves
about it, unless they intend to get a
road they can control; road whose
freight rates they can fix; and a
road whose rates they will fix on a
fair profit basis both for the shipper
aud the railroad company.
Now it is by no means impossible
to do this. All Columbia and Mt.
Pleasant capitalists and business
men will have to do, is to put up
little earnest money. That is, by
subscribing to some of the stock
themselves, show to the outside
world that they think they have a
good thing, and that they mean
business.
The suggestion has never beer
made to ask the State for any aid, OIL
to appeal to Eastern capitalists fol
sympathy. The l.. & N. woulC
doubtless like to raise that issue, il
order to fight it. The proposition il
to go to work In business way, t,
employ the time and talent of com
petent, trustworthy man who will
not sell the people out, to get tn
facts and the figures and stock sub
scribed and float the bonds. Not TO
sympathy, but for business. No
to fight the l.. & N, but t
secure better freight rates for Out
selves. Not to join the trust an
feed it, but to fight the trust rate
and protect the business interests {
our people.
OF course the movement will b
opposed. The L. & N. will not pei
NIT it to succeed if they can prevel
1t. And they have barrels of none
and the best of talent at their con
mand. But il the public mind WI
once get thoroughly interested, an
the people aroused and determine
to throw off the embrace" of the
& N, then success will crown the
Efforts, and they will marvel no
easy it was done.
As soon as the election is over '

ported Mr.. Mckinley. AT the be-
ginning of this campaign it was
silent. Recently it has come out
strongly for Bryan, and following
are excerps from its editorial col
umns:
"Four years ago, in the sudden crisis
that divided the councils of the Demo
cratic party and for the time being
seemed to have checked its great career, ,
it seemed better to The Times, as to
many other leading Democratic papers,
to sustain Mr.. McKinley's election as
President rather than that of Mr.
Bryan. The decision was made in good
faith. The result has shown it to be
wrong. 1t is repe" ted and recanted."
#x#
"a false economic system has re-
suited in vast com binations of capital
that throttle individual industry and
hold control over all the functions of
government, and the spok esman of the
administration, a representative of one
of these great Trusts, is calling upon
his fellow-capitalists for contributions,
to buy another four years license to
rob, another four years life for their in
fated and false prosperity"
So
"Imperialism, militarism, are the ma
tural outgrowth of commercialism in
politics, of the power of the few over
the many, the elevation OF money
above manhood, with all the system OF
special privileges and corrupt control
that the Republican party since the
civil war has increasingly fostered."

other people to have a share. That Il
