The statesman editor has been un-
iformeded that there rae few Demo-
Gratis in Berkeley county who are I'M
der the impression that he did not
give w. J. Bryan and the cause of
Democracy loyal support in 1S96.W e
wish to respectfully say to all who
have heard it that this is a mistake.
Never since we have been I'M active
politics, nearly thirty years, have we
giVen the cause a more active earnest
nd loyal support than in 1886 We
did all in our power and contributed
from our humble means a much as
any man in Berkeley county toward
the legal expenses of the campaign in
that year The files of the States
man are open for the inspection of any
one interested in this matter and we
earne' tly invite any and all to come
and read.
There are hundreds of Democrats
who have read the Statesman since we
took control of its columns and we
leave them to testify.
We also gave Mr.. Bryan a most cor
dial support again in 1900 and for
1898 we endorse Mr.. Bry land con
fl iently predict that he will be elected
President.

The farmers can hardly approve the
Republican standpat program, when
they find the price of wheat, oats, corr,
and cotton declining and the cost Of all
they buy rapidly advancing. Where
does the boosted protection to agricul-
lure come in under the present pro te-
tive tariff and how are farmers pro-
tected, although the tariff law pro-
Vides that 30 cents a bushel on wheat
and l. cents busheJ on oats be eel
lectad on imports? The price of wheat
is now lower than it has been for ten
y ears r since the present tariff law
was enacted in August 1897.
Those farmers who are Republicans
SHOULD demand of their ''stand patn
leaders fair deal, and if the Agricul-
tural machinery trust, the barbed wire
combine, the lumber association and
the clothing trusts, are to still be pro-
t.cted by the tariff in charging exorbi-
tant prices for their products, that
some method of raising the price
OF cereals and keeping them stable
should offset trust high prices.
The fact is, however, that no tariff
can protect the farmer Oh his products
of which the surplus must be sold
abroad, as the price paid by the for
eigners for that surplus fixes the price
here. The only relief the farmer can
receive is to be able 10 buy in the cheap
est market and this he can never do as
long as the trusts. that control all he
buys, are protected by the tariff from
competition. 1t is plain therefore that

able man-and we believe he is so es-

the character of him who takes the of

there is foul blemish somewhere in

How the trusts and combines are
plundering the American people, is
shown by the enormous profits made
this year by the Steel Trust. Every
one pays their share of the vast toll
that this gigantic combination takes
from the grist run through its hopper.
"On March B, 1897 says the New
York World, ''just before the party Of
high prices took poss ession of the Gov
eminent, and when there was no Steel
Trust, American Steel rails were sell
ing i'll the market at SIS to $50 per ton
Foreigners can still get them for that,
but Americans have to pay the trust
S27-an increase of from 40 to 80 per
cent. The trust has mainta tanned the
SS2S rate for home customers without
variation since it was organized, repre-
senting a net increase of profits of over
so, 200, 900 above a normal amount for
that time. And Mr.. Morgan entnu
siastcalIy islands pat' for the reten-
tion in power of an Administration
that stands Tor so much prosperity"
Dc not imagine that because you
have no railroad stock, or even if you
never rode on a steam or street rail-
road that the price of steel rails does
not affect your pocket. In fact every
thing you buy is advanced in price by,
the freight that is charged for we can
not expect low railroad rates and eX-
pensive railroad construction. Then
just think of the large number of ar
ticles of steel or iron that you daily use
all ofwhich are greatly increased in
price by the extra toll the Steel Trust
takes, because the protection from COM
petition the tariff gives the trust al
lows it to eXtort these high prices. This
Toll is nearly SO a year from each
family, from this one trust and there
are 1856 of them protected by the tariff
in like manner.

Republicans generally assert that
Roosevelt is the Ionly man in their
party that can defeat William J Bryan
for President in 1868 but unless al
signs fail even Teddy cannot defeat
the man OF the people. The Bryan
tide rises higher and higher and if it
continues for thesnext two years the
sentiment will be at flood tide and
sweep all before it.

created much interest and amusement
on the hoor. II all came up over d

ana has denounced the latter in bitter
terms Senator Hopkins yesterday, in
denying certain statements Of Mr.. TIL
man relating to tho matter, declared
that he had grown tired Of bearing the
South Carolina senator get up in the
Senate every morning and denounce
somebody for breaking the Law, when
the senator himself came from stats
where the laws of the land were con-
stantIy violated.
He charged Mr. Tillman with having
secured Hin seat IN the Senate by the
suppression Of the negro vote in his
state, where Iynehings and burnings at

up said Mr.. Hopkins land he then
proceeded to SHOW him up by quot
ing from some Of Tiilman's speeches
in the Senate and elsewhere, in which
the South Carolinan boldly defended the
suppression Of the negro vote and glori-
fed the outrages on coIored people in
the South.
AIr. Hopkins bitterly attacked Till

Mr.. Tillman replied to Mr.. Hopkins
hotly, and charged him with bringing
into the discussion Of the Chicago bank

would discuss the rate question any
