long distance telephone that if he raa
for governor it would be on w A.
Stuckey's ticket. and would ont be an
appeal to the old factionalism He will,
he said, advocate constructive legisla-
ton for the farmers. The impression
left on the interviewer was that Mr..
Stuckey is certain to run for governor
and that he and the movemnt behind
him, the secret Farmers union, are
frowning on evry attempt to revive the
old factional lines.
INDICATES UNREST.
Thefact that such strong leaders of
the former Blease faction as Mr..
stuckey, of Bishopville, and Mayor DIN
Sawyer, of Georgetown, are being
brought forward for governor indicates
unrest and dissatisfaction among the
faction. 1t is an open secret that several
of the leaders feel that they are de-
serving of consideration
The positive announcement Of for
ner Governor Blease that he is in the
race for governor apparently settles the
question of what Solicitor R. A. Cooper
of Laurens, will do Those who have
watched the situation are certain that
Mr.. Cooper will now run for governor,
and while he has consistently declined
to talk for publication, it is felt here
that he will now announce This in
terview of MI. Cooper last summer that
he would run for governor IF certain
conditions arise" was taken to mean
that if Mr. Blease entered for governor
he would, too. The entrance of the for
ner governor is now certain and every
one believes that it is just as certain
that Solicitor Cooper will be in the race.
Announcement from him is awaited
with much interest.
Governor Manning will run for re-
elction, and political circles in Colum-
bia would not be surprised at other in
teresting developments.
One rumor her is that certain inter-
ests in Washington are urging Con-
gresham ]. F. Byrnes, of the second
congressional district, to run for gov
ernor. This report has gained wide cir
culation and includes, among other re-
ports, that the South Carolina delega-
ton are nursing the Byrnes boom.

the salvation OF the country and its in
stitutions. In a republic there may be
as severe oppression as under a 'des-
potism. 1t all depends upon the placing
OF the burdens. One intrest may be up
Fitted and another crushed Monopoly
controls the finance OF the country and
through its money power regulates the
price OF products so as to leave the pro-
ducers but scanty living. The dollar
being the measure of value, the price
for our products is in large degree. reg
ulared by the quantity of money in cir
culation. Ii is supply and demand for
money that regulates the price Of cot
ton. The sudden contraction IN the
volume Of currency is at once felt in
the price of cotton. When the crop IS
being harvested there is contraction
of tie currency and fall in price. This
is the Inherent defct in our present
financial system. Wall street controls
our finances and few individuals con-
troll Wall street. The cause now operat-
ing, unless there is a change, will finally
result in placing the masses in the city
and the country in such condition Of
poverty and depression that some such
!. ,can.c outbreak as the French revolt
ton. when the masses rebelled against
intolerable wrong, will overthrow our
institutions. Our only recourse is to
meet organization with organization,
and that is why I am in favor Of the
Farmers alliance.
1.-The issue is joined and the battle is
upon us. The fact is, there is now being
waged the greatest contest the world
has ever seen, entrenchedmonopoly will
not be overthrown without desperate
struggle; it means a great political
financial and social revolution. Let us
not be alarmed at the word, for the pro-
press of the human race has been
through revolution, emanating from the
instructive love of the masses for equal
rights. Like those that have preceded
this is battle for freedom from in
dustrial serfdom.'" D. W. McLaurln

he pays about IS cents for the ties and
: cents to some millionaire manutac-
turer. If he buys blankets or Cookery
it is the same thing. Suppose his neigh
Dor sports two galluses, drives two
horses to church and makes 200 bales
of cotton and ships it to Liverpool. The
price he gets there is of course, less
transportation, the same price he gets
at home. But suppose after selling his.
cotton in Liverpool, he concluded to
purchase there what he needs for h1b-
self and family-crockery, tlnware
tools, etc.-what is the result? He
finds he cannot bring the articles home
unless he pays a tariff, which almost
doubles the original cost. So instead
of purchasing in Liverpool, which mar
ket regulates the prices Of the world,
and wher therefore he could buy cheap
est after selling in the cheapest market
he is forced to buy in the highest. The
tariff, while adding nothing to the
price of what is sold, doubles the cost
of all that he buys Is it wonder that
the protected monopolist becomes
millionaire while the farmer hardly
makes ends meet? And further, when
we leave the national system OF lndl-
rect taxation, which takes from S1oo
to $500 per year from the profits of a
one-horse farm, and come to the States.
we find that the burden Of direct taxa
ton is also borne by the farmer. State
and government bonds are exempt from
taxation. and but small proportion OF
other bonds, notes, etc, are taxed, so
that OF necessity the visible property,
lands. mules, etc, which can not be
concealed are disproportionately taxed.
Even if this were all, the fertility OF
our soil and energy and economy OF
our people could stand it for many
wears: but the monopolists have control
of the finances of the country by means
of which they can regulate the prices
of products so as to leave the produc-
ers but a scanty living.
"I can not in the short space allot-
ted me discuss the national banking
system, but thanks to the work OF edu-
cation going on in the alliance, the in
iouitous and unjust system, which was
only excusable as war measure and is
firmly supported in the moneyed and
monopolistic centres of the country is
becoming generally understood.
"'The government loans this class
money at I per cent, and they dole 1t
out to the country banks at S, q and :
per cent, and thes to the merchants
and then to the farmers at from 8 to 50
per cent, or anything they can get, and
it is right on this point that the alliance
is being fought with most persistency'
at is the farmer who will presrvs
conservatism and prevent the discon-
tent now brooding everywhere from
overstepping the bounds of reason. The
dav is not far distant when those now
opposed to the alliance will regard it as

Columbia, Feb. 24.-That he will
positively announce within the next few
days whether or not he will be in the
race for governor and opposing those
planks in the platform of Mr.. Cole l..
Blease which advocate reduction Of the
passenger rates on railroads to two
cents and reducing the rates Of interst,
was stated to The News and Courier
this morning by Mr. w. A Stuckey over
the long distance telephone from his
home at Bishopville At the same time
Mr.. Stuckey ernphatically and positively
denied tie rurnor that he would run
for lieutenant governor or a ticket with
},.r. Blease.
Under no circumstances will I take
second place on any mans ticket, said
Mr.. Stuckey, and added that his an
nouncemnt some months ago that he
would not run for lieutenant governor
stands. He declared in unmistakable
language that he will not be the tail to
any mans kite.
RATES AND INTEREST.
Disagreement with two of the leading
planks in the platform Of Mr.. Blease
was expressed by Mr. stuckey He said
he and the farmers favored legitimate
corporations End were opposed to re-
ducing the passenger rates from two
and one-half cents to two cents per
mile, and that they also opposed re-
ducing interest rates. 1--WE are in fa-
vor of constructive legislation for the
farmers" said Mr.. stuckey.
Mr.. Blease in his announcement for
governor said he fevored reducing
passenger rates to two cents and the re-
duction of the legal rate of interest to
0 per cent.
Mr.. Stuckey is not only prominent
leader in the Blease faction and in the
past supported and worked for Cole l..
Blease in his races for governor and
United States senator, but he is also
porminent in the new secret Farmers,
union, which has gained strong hold
in the Pee-Dee section of the State. His
statement this morning that the farm
ers' movement opposed the planks in
the Blease platform calling for reduced
rates of interst and reduced passenger
rates are considered highly significant
in political circles
The Bishopville man has been men
toned for governor for some weeks,
and interest in what he would do will be
increased by his announcement this
morning that he has the matter under
advisement and will make definite an
nouncement in the future. He said over

ful BY the census of 1880 it was val
ued at $43,o42,o 100000. This is more
than the combined wealth Of the Rus
sian and Turkish empires with the king
doms of Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
Italy and South America, with all their
property and with a population of IT,
100000. Great Britain is the richest
country in the old world, and our
wealth exceeds hers by S276,ooo,ooo. The
most remarkable point in this compari-
son is the fact that while the wealth OF
the old world is the accumulation of
many centuries, the greater part Of
American wealth has been created with
in 80 years. So far as the nation is
concerned in the aggregate, there is
no room for complaint; but how about
the distribution of this vast accumulation
of wealth and what is the outlook as to
the future to the classes and individuals
creating this vast national wealth?
"%All patriots and statesmen agree
that vast accumulations of wealth are
hurtful to the commonwealth and our
forefathers, when they abolished the
right of primogeniture and other Incl
dents favorable to the accumulation of
these vast estates, die wisely but they
did not foresee the trusts and monop-
olies which would bind the masses in a
tenure stronger than the feudal system
Let US see what has been the result and
what portion of this vast increase in the
national wealth has come to the farmers
as class. In 1860 the national wealth
was estimated at $I6,I6o,ooo,ooo,ooo; in
1880 it had increasedsabout 70 per cent.
Out of this almost miraculous increase,
what was the farmers share?
"'In 1860 the farmers owned one
half of the wealth of the country and
constituted one-half of its population.
In 1880 the farmers had only added ST.
I22,558,48I to their possessions, while
the other classes had added S24,ooo,ooo,-
900, or FIVE to one. AS the farming
population largely increased during that
time, it is easy to see something IS the
matter. 1 believe the censuse of 1890
will even disclose worse condition of
affairs.
"'There is no great mystery in it. The
farmer is legally Disseminated against.
We live under a policy of protection,
and that means discrimination. The
protected individual is specially favored,
ard of necessity it is at somebody else's
expense. The farmer receives no bene-
fit from the tariff, because he encoun-
ters no foreign competition. But while
under the protective tariff he gets moth
ing more for what he has to sell, he is
forced to pay increased prices for what
ever he buys from those who are pro-
tected. They grow rich and he grows
poor. Every time a poor fellow, with
one gallus, and it holding up his pants
with a peg instead of button, drives
a little Aop-eared mule, fed on West
ern hay and corn, up to the cross roads
store and gets a bunch of cotton ties

VOICE FROM THE PAST.

DELIVERED IN 1889
To the Editor OF the State:

To the Editor OF the State:
I thank you for saying that you would
publish the speech referred to IN my
letter of the 18th inst. finad that from
the scrap book that it was published in
the Charleston World of September 3,
but the year is not on the paper. 1t
must have been about 1880. The speech
was reported, according to the best of
my recollection, by D. IA. G. Outz:
"Reedy Creek Church, Marion Coun-
ty, Sept. 3.-special Fully 1900 Al
liancemen with their wives and daugh-
ters assembled at this beautiful spot

L. McLaurin of Bennettsville, Col. M.
L. Donaldson of Greenville, H. c.
Burns, district lecturer of Society HILL,
and W. J. Talbert. Dr.. Stokes, Col.
Robert Aldrich and others were expect
ed and were on the way, but failed to
reach the meeting in time on account Of
delayed trains.
"The occasion was picnic arranged
by Donoho alliance and was participat-
ed in by adjacent alliances and was a
grand success. Tables were arranged
in the form of three sides of a square
with speakers stand in the fourth
side.

him on the stand were seated Rev. Mr..

prominent citizens of Marion and ad-
jacent counties.
"The large audience was addressed
first by Col. ]. L. McLaurin, prominent
attorney of Bennettsville.
Col. McLaurin said:
"There is an old story of pune
tiHously polite Greek, who, while per-
forming the funeral of an infant daugh-
ter, felt bound to apologize and excuse
himself to the spectators for bringing
out such ridiculously small corpse to
so large a crowd. 1 believe can SYM
pathize with him, if I judge by the crops
I have seen in the vicinity, it IS
ridiculously poor farmer addressing an
audience of remarkably fine farmers. I
say that l am a poor farmer because l
have to practice law in, order to afford
myself the luxury of raising cotton al
cents per pound with hired labor, or !
should say perhaps, raising at 10 cents
and selling at 7 cents. But 1 do not
propose to discuss raising cotton to-
day, but in general way some of the
causes which are operating against our
interst as farmers.
