In his speech here tomorrow
But this he will not do, his
views being fully set forth in
his letter which is made public
today. The letter possesses far
reaching political significance in
South Carolina and will be read
with interest. 1t is as follows ::
SENATOR TILLMAN's LETTER.
Trenton, July 1, 1905.
MIR. Frances w. Higginson,
New berry, S. C.-Dear Sir: 1
have your letter of June %,
propounding certain inquiries
in regard to the anti.dispensary
movement in Newberry and to
the dispensary aud liquor ques-
tions in general. and to my own
attitude towards it. The ques-
tions you ask relate to the mis-.
interpreted subject now agitat-
lug the minds of the people of
the State, and in order to cover
the ground at all satisfactorily
IL will require me to answer Mt
some length and to discuss the
subject in it's various ph hasee,
and this becomes the more neces.
sary as you notify me in advance
that you desire nv answer for
publication
PREMISES OF THE ARGUMENT.
| shall premise what 1 write
by laying down certain general
principles which will he disput.
cd only by those who are fanati-
cal and unwilling to consider
any subject from any other
standpoint than thai of bigotry
and prejudice.
Most men will agree to the
following:
/. All men love stimulants
and are usually slaves to some
kind, as witness the strong ap-
petite which prevails for coffee,
tea, tobacco, beer, wine, brandy,
whiskey, morphine, quinine,
cocaine, etc. With the exception
of some Of the drugs mentioned
there are no injurious effects ln,.
mediately perceptible and none
of them intoxicate except those
containing alcohol. Alcoholic
beverages in moderation are not
more harmful than tea or coffee,
probably less so.
2. The abuse Of liquor by men
drinking to excess has caused az
much or more crime and misery
than any ether thing.
3. The proper policeing and
control of the liquor traffic so as
to minimize its abuses is one of
the most perplexing aud trouble.
s'me questions with which any
government has to deal. Men
have never agreed as to any one
method being best and never
will, and there is a constan.
agitation of the subject in some
form going on all the while in
almost every State in the Union.
4. Experience shows that
some men will have liquor as a
beverage and that no law has
ever yet been devised which will
prevent them obtaining it Wise
men are, therefore, contont to
rGduce the evils of liquor selling
and liquor drinking to the mlul-
mum, and the question at issue
in South Carolina now, as it has
been these fifteen or twenty
years, is as how to do this.
