into deep water and there were more
men drowned than there were fisher
men. he said that President Smith
had warned the Association that poll
tics would not be tolerated, and then
he called to mind that politics was
thrown into the recent meeting at
Greenville. He wanted to know why
Smith mad not called McLaurin down,
but kind friend in the audience re.
marked that Smith was not present
at the time. Ard then Tillman bs-
gan to apologize, declaring that Smith
was not politician, but was just q
good man who loved to hear himself
talk. He urged the farmers to make
their farms self.supporuing, leaving
cotton as the surplus crop.
''The idea has been advanced" he
said, that our mills should reach out
into the world for new markets, and
that there should be a protective tariff
on cotton brought here from Egypt,
England and Germany and other
countries are competing with the
United States in Chinese territory and
yet our mills have captured it, and
are in possession OF the market. We
have heard a great deal about the
boycott by Chinese guilds against
American products. That boycott is
due to the brutal way our immigra-
tion agents have treated leading Chi,
neSe people. We have got a Chinese
exclusion Act so rigid because tie
laboring classes demanded 1t to keep
out competition. These inspectors
ignore the best visitors from China,
the men who are the salt OF the earth
over there, all because labor in this
country hates the c3olie and is afraid
OF competition. I an against the
Chinese coming here for the reason
that we have all the colored people we
want. Let the coolies stay out, but
it is not right to maltreat those lead
ing Cinnamon who come here to study
our country, conditions and people
without meaning to stay. The Guilds
have threatened to drive out Ameri
can goods, and if the word is passed
down the line your name is Dennis.
I am much concerned about this mat
ter, and will lend ali my aid to pre-
vent 1t, but we Democrats are a few
p,vatoes in the hill at Washington,
and we don't cut much figure"
Senator Tillman did not see how the
protective tariff would help the farms
While on that subject be called at,
tention to the movement to organize
decent R publican party in South
Carolina under the name OF CONNER
cial Democracy, before McKinley's
death. He mentioned bis trip to
Gafaey a few years ago when he had
a tilt with McLaurin, adding that he
had told McLsurin then what be
thought Of him. Qloting from bis
letter about havi;g 6 detected the
ass's ears Of the Office seeker" under
the thin disguise OF the cotton move
ment, Senator Tillnan said be had
found certain embryonic candidates
trying to hatch political eggs. He
said again that protective tariff oo
raw cotton would not help the farm
ers, and then mentioned that be had
voted tor a tariff on lumber because
ne believed it would help the people OF
the low country. ''In Washington, -
be added, my policy, which some OF
the newspapers don't like, has been to
get ANYTHING in sight for the South
when I saw the chance, and I tried to
get it right or wrong, honestly or dis
honestly, because those people up
there have been stealing from US long
enough" It will not be difficult for
those who attended former meetings
at which Senator Tillman spoke, to
see that he was going up hill; did not
seem to have his heart in his words.
On" be said once, breaking OF from
his line OF thought, Il wish I had not
been brought here under check rein,
nartingajes and a cTupper, holding
me down to agriculture. Somebody
in the audience wanted him to shoot
a few into McLaurin. De mortuls
nil nisl bonuln," Tillnan shouted
that's Latin. 1t means that yor
must rot say anything but good about
the dead. And if McLaurin is moi
dead politically, then [ want TO die.
