The workingrnen's movement hasbeen starred, and it is destined to over¬

shadow the farmer's movement thatbegan a few years ago and swept theentire State.

This movement ie started in Kne cfreal reform, a»d 'here are no raen in itwho are there for the parpóse of seekingoffice.

Daring the last days of the Legislatore this movement was started, at a

mass meering attended rv representativesfrom varions portions of the State andheld in the Richland county court houseAr that meeting a comu.itt.ee of earnest,

workers, representing the variousbranches of labor was appointed to draftao address, platform of principle*, planof organisation, as well as to call a

convention The committee waited tillthe holidays were over, each memberdeciding to-draw ap his own plan forprésentation when tba committee met

againi. Last trigWt the committee met tn

Hotel Jerome After quite a longsession ar which ali the plans presentedwere discussed, the paper, with the¡fcsnaoee of which the movement isinaugurated, was prepared and madepublicA full plan of organization, complete

to take counsel with each other.We are io a minority, yet why should I

Your committee will appoint an

Declaration of the Principle* of theIndustrial and Wage Workers1 Demo¬cratic LeagueThe Constitution of the State and the

United States guarantee equal rights to

ail, and prohibits special privileges to

any of its citizens. It is therefore theduty of those who may feel themselvesagrieved through the enactment of un¬

just IawsT the effect of which is to de¬prive sonne erf their constitutional rights,while bestowing upon other» unlawfulprivileges, to assemble zr?á protestagainst such unjust, inequitable and un¬

lawful legislation and to take measures to

accomplish tts appeal. More especially isthis a duty when, from the decision ofpartisan officials empowered to executeand enforce such laws, the right of

appeal to the courts is denied ; a rightwisely guaranteed by the fundamentallaw of the land, and recognized as one

of ¡he cardinal principles of Democracy ;a right which experience has proven to

be a shield of safety to the weakagainst the strong, to a few against themany mT a right which bas been, »ndwhich must be cherished arson g thedearest principles of a free people.We condemn the vicious class Legis¬

lation attempted and eroded by theLegislature »t its recent session, andendorsed and approved by the Governorof this State; ¡he pernicious effects ofwhich will be to put to hazard all in¬dustries dependent upon corporate capi¬tal, to lessen the volume of currency, to

met ease the cost of credit, and to rea

d«-r uncertain and precarious the occupa¬tion of all wage workers within theState.We denounce the inconsistency of

the so-called Reform Party which,proclaiming sararíes loo läge, omits to

reduce them ; declariug taxes too high,increases them ; processing opposition to

monopoly, conspires to u ake the Statea monopoly; preach io; prohibition,legislates tte State itself into a ruui-

st-ller.We declare our principles to be em¬

bodied io the simple but s<und Demo¬cratic doctrine of 'Equal rights to all,special privileges to none," and our

purpose, to repeal &i>á to oppose aillegislation inconsistent therewith.We acknowledge agriculture to he

the master wheel of industrial mechan¬ism, but we declare that in the enact¬

ment and execution of just and whole¬some laws it is essential to consider thatthe quantity and quality of the product»depend upon the harmonious working oftbe whole machine ; and that upon no

industry more than agriculture will fallthe injurious effects of a departure fromthis principleWc believe the interests of capital

and labor to be tbe same, and we assert

that a blow aimed at one will fall uponboth : and that legislation directed4'against" either will react upon thepeople of the whole State.We recognize the propriety of just

laws restraining the abuse of rights andprivileges granted to individuals ; butwe conderoo ali laws tending to unright¬eously '¡essen the inducements to capitalto invest in the development of legiti¬mate indostries within the State.We assert the necessity of maintain¬

ing the independence and higb standardof tho judiciary, and condena» any an 1all attempts to curtail the one or lowerthe other of these safeguards to the

enjoyment of individual rights.Adhering strictly to the sound princi¬

pies of Democracy, living within theirlimitation, and believing that "a peo¬ple is best governed which is least gov¬erned." we shall undertake to maintainio the highest standard the §nancialcredit and political dignity of the State.

In conclusion, we beg leave td hopethat the principles which we have out¬

lined and the plans we have suggestedmay meet with the approbation andendorsement of our fellow-citizens, to

the end tbat a glorious success maycrown oar righteou efforts

Let ws Write ourown History.FrofJ P. Ilennemam, of Hampden

Südney College, Va., a native of Spnr-ta»nburg, S- C., mid formerly a studentand afterwards a tutor at WoffordCollege, in a recent number of tbeHam{>den Sidney Magazine discussesa plan or the building up of "a Vir¬ginia and Southern School of His¬tory" to the end that adequate andcorrect materials may be collected and*jH»e»eFved for the use of the futurewriters of history While Prof.Ilennemau's plea is directed to Vir¬ginia in particular, it appears withequal force to the whole SoutheNeglect of such matters has causedthe* Southern people to bc misrepresented to the outside world.Ignorant or préjudice»! writers haveattempted to'write our history, and iiimany cases facts have been seriouslydistorted by them and the motivesand character of our people haveseldom been -understood or appreci¬ated

Frof ilenueman truly says that thegreat need of Virginia is "a school ofhistory founded upon scientific in-ves-ligation, the rigid examination oforiginal documents and the sifting otevidence.'' Ile suggests that theplace hv such a school is the StateCapitol am? that it should be underState- supervision and urnier one

directing mind, *'so that no eSórtmay be lost or duplicated but everyresult may contribute toward thecollection of materials for a generalhistory."

Prof Ilcnnemao has succeeded in* a*

large measure in interesting the stu¬dents of his own college in the impor¬tant work that he Ins on hand ; but itÍH desired to go further and to interestevery college in the South in tlve mat¬ter. Ile should have the endorsementand cordial support, not only of theSouthern educators, but of the think¬ing people of the South as well. lufact every educated Southernershould join the movement and do hispart to see that a truthful andsympathetic record is made of all thatis of interest relating to Southernlife, manners, habits and thoughtAn effort should be made to have thehistory of every comity written andprinted. Unless something is doneto preserve the traditions that add so

much to this beautiful land of ours,they will soon pass away and be for¬gotten. Not only will traditions fadeaway, but soon it will become almostimpossible to obtain correct informa¬tion on many matters of vi:al im¬portance.Prof Iíenneman makes several sug¬

gestions as to the method of practicalwork Ile says that the note bookshould be discarded in favor of *'a

slip of stiff caid large enough to holdwhat is wanted," on which one

single fact or circustauce or allusionmay7 be written. For another factuse another card, having only one

reference on each place. If anythingis quoted, use the precise words.Have the point correct at first, andkeep it so. These slips are easilyarranged and classified and, whenthey are sufficiently numerous thewriting ot au article on tike subjectthey bear upon is a simple matter.

Valuable hints are also given as tothe lines of investigation that eachworker may pursue, according to hisown peculiar taste. The economichistory cf Southern communities issuggested as a fruitful field for a

painstaking investigator. Io eachcommunity one may inquire into theland system^ the nature of crops,prices the conditions of labor, thecommerce, manufactures, navigation,shipping, effect of railway and canals,roads industrial organizations, taxa¬tions, debts, etc. Institutions, laws,social customs, religion, politicsmoney, banks, biography genealo¬gies, literature, journalism, educa¬tion, dialects, eic, afford scope forother iuvest gators. In the study ofthese matters the inquirer will findoriginal material in the Cowrt Houserecords, in old wills, files of old news¬

papers and magazines, account books,diaries, old letters, biographies andthe like.

It is to be hoped that somethingpractical will grow out of Prof.Ilennemau's movement. The col¬leges of South Carolina should takethe matter in hand and bring it to theattention of the students. No richerfield can be found for independentresearch than here in South'Carolina.Thus far but little has been done to

preserve the local history of thecounties and sections of tine State,but is to be hoped tHat JudgeO'Neal, Prof. Porcher «nd BishopGregg wiil. in the near future, havemany imitators, and that every countywill have a faithful chro&fêter.--Sun¬day News.

Are we Citizens or Subjects ?

The people have the rrgnt to testthe validity of any law-even thc jlaws passed by a Tillman legislature,and will not be deterred from testingthe dispensary liquor law Ky thethreats of Gov. Tillman or anybodyelse. But we cannot go tho extentof endorsing the action of certainmunicipal corporations in grantinglicenses beyond the time when thenew law, by its own provisions, will

go into effect. There is in reason

for any town or city to make the test. IThe law, in our opinion, is a directblow at individual right am) should',and no doubt will, be tested byprivate citizens. The threat, how¬ever, to annul the charter-rights of tbecorporations issuing annual licenses,is childish and ridiculous, and makestho administration appear verysmall indeed Gov. Tillman istoo narrow to be the governor of a

State, and his egotism is disgusting.Ile can never win the support of menfor whose right be basso little regard.A governor well informed as to hisduties and powers, having proper re¬

gard for the citizen, would be glad tohave the law-new, untried here andextrrme, passed upon by the com ts, !ami the rights of all defined and fixed iunder it.We are rapidly losing our citizen- I

ship and becoming subjects.- |Urarigebnr£ Eutei pr iso. ¡

Good Advice as to Cotton.

Mr. A. B. Shepperson, the wellknown cotton authority in New York,urges upon th« Southern plantersthat they make no more cotton inin 1893 than they made in 1892.ile says :

"None but lunatics would go on

planting full crops of cotton and run

the risk of selling it below the eost ofproduction, to the neglect of foodcrops which they would not have themoney to buy Lu the event of anotherbig cotton yield next year and lowprices.- Southern planters have thew*ibrtunes and their prosperity m theirown hands. If they plant wheat,corn, cats, hay and garden crops thatcan be raised in abundance, they andnot the spinners can dictate the priceof cotton."Wo are delighted to read this, ft

h on the old line of the Messenger.Year after year we have preached thatdoctrine, ¿orne have said, what doyou know about farming ? We knownothing, but we know that too muchof anything lowers the price. Weknow that in the seventies the small¬est crop brought more money thantlie greatest crop before brought.Hence, we saw tbe folly of over¬

producing owe crop and neglectingthe other much needed, very import¬ant crops. We know it was foolishto keep corn crops a thousand milesfrom home, and smoke-houses inCincinnati and Louisville, and hayfields and wheat fields in the greatWest, instead of having these thingsat Irotae. We know it was stupid,un wine, the way to poverty and mort¬

gages for a farmer iu the land of sun¬

shine and long seasons to boy hssvegetables, his food for stock, hisbacon and lard, his ffour and corn andother things from the cold North,with its much shorter seasons. Weknown that it was suicidal to risk alleach year upon one crop, and that fartoo large for the consumption.We know now that the cotton crop

of 1892 is not more than 6,500.000bales against that of 1»91, when itwas 9.180,195, and the price of thelast crop is more than 3 cents more

per pound than the price of tlie muchlarger crop. Mr. Shepperson is right-"None but lunatics would go on

planting full crops of cotton arid run

the risk of selling it below cost of pro¬duction."Do not let the planters heed for a

moment some selfish Not them news¬

papers that are trying to persuadethem to continue their hitherto unwisemethods of growing too much cottonThese papers give advice at iongrange and from their standing-pointThey are t ying to get up a scare ifIbe South reduces- its swoduct thatIndia and Egypt will step'in andgrow all the cotton that is needed:Southern cotton was not supplantedin war days. The English Methodistmill owner, when he heard hispreaclter petition to God for "anabondant ettpply of cotton,'7 was

beard exclaiming in loud voice fromthe "amen corner"-"Yea, Lord, butno Suratt." Ile preferred the Soeth/slongstaple to the Indian inferior

lt isrbetter to be content with notmore than 6 500,ODO bales at presentand get 10 cents or even 12 cents a

pound, thus making not less that $20more per bale, tba« to glow it iuexcess at 6 1-2 or t cents and makeperhaps nothing.-Wilmington Mes¬senger.

Secretary Carlisle.

Hon John G. Carlisle is a stronga&d wise mao to rave at the head ofthe treasury department. He is one

of the clearest and most advancedthinkers in the country on financialand business questions.

While pronounced in br« opinions,there is nothing radical about thc man.

His convictions are strong, but his re¬

forms will be worked ont conservativelyFew men have more decided opinions jupon the tariff and upon questionsembraoing tfSe range of political econo¬

my, bat the very nature of Mr.Carlisle would prevent him from ex¬

treme or experimental measures thatmight result injuriously ts» the businessinterests of the country. 'I bis conser¬

vatism will worfc out needed reformswith the least friction aud the greatestgood to the financial' interests of thegovernment and tbe business of thecountry.We do not think that Presideut

Cleveland has made any mistake innaming Mr. Carlisle as secretary ofthe treasury. No better appointmentcould be made.-Augusta Chronicle.

The Financial Problem

The glaring failure uf the In ternation alMonetary Conference at Brussels tocome to an agreement concerning therestoration of silver as a part of theworld's commençai mooey, and theevident certainty that if the coaferenceshould reassemble on the day to whichit has adjourned irs prospects of success

would be as hopeless as they were inthe beginning, have put ühe Americangovernment under the necessity ofdeciding without delay whether it willcoutiuue to attempt aloue what othercivilized nations refuse to attempt to¬

gether and which it is at least doubtfulwhether they could permanently accom-

plibh even if they jointly attemptedit Since 1878 our government hasexerted itself to keep up the price ofsilver by monthly purchases of themetal, §rst at the rate of two millionsa month, and since ölte passage of thelaw of 1890 at the rate of four andone-half "million ouuces a month. Theexperiment has proved a most dismalfailure. Instead of rising, the priceof silver has enormously fallen. It isevident that nothing cai* stop thisdownward tendency so long as theproduction of silver continues toincrease. And this increase threatensto go on y for while some mines arc,indeed, closed because they cauuot

produce profitably at present prices,others which produce at lower costare kept going, and new ones are

opeoed which pour forth a constantstream. Moreover, there seems to beno end of inventions cheapening themethods of production, so that minesunprofitable to-day may become profit¬able again to-morrow, even ac priceslower than those now ruling. Whilethe price of silver has been sinking,the accumulations of the metal iu our

national Treasury have been steadilygrowing. They form tkwi so-calledbasis ot large issues of paper money.-But, io fact, they are no basis at ali,for if they were thrown oo the market,nobody can foresee to what poiut' theprice would tumble dowu. They would'be practically unsaleable The valueof that paper currency depends uponthe ability of the governmeöt to re¬

deem it in gold It will be at a dis¬count as soon as this ability is generallycalleu into question. Ic is thereforegold, not silver, that we need wore

argestly than ever * hut the gold re¬

sources of the government are most

seriously diminished by the very- silverpolicy we are following. E>ery think¬ing man must see that it w uid beimpossible to invent a fiuancial policymore absurd, and that it must ioevifably end in disaster ; that if we contin¬ue in the present course, it is only a

question of time wheu we shall be on

a silver basis, with all the consequentuusettlemeut of values and- commercialdis turbances, and that we are approach¬ing the brink of the precipice at a

rapid rate.-Harpers' Weekly.The Athens Dispensary.A. B. Williams, editor of the Green¬

ville News, went out to Athens, Ga^test week. He looked in on the work¬ing of the dispensary in that town andreports as follows :

.'There 6eems to be a good deal ofhesitation or sensitiveness regarding the

dispensary among Athens peopleMost of them, will tell you; however,that it is "dotug very well," or some¬

thing of that kind. Those who werie*

"in with'1 lae dispensary idea at the

beginning, or who have taken an activeinterest ia its conduct are enthusiastic.They say it is "a complete success ;rthat it "works like a top ;*' that it set¬

tles the liquor problem and does it sat¬

isfactorily. Then you will find men

who will tell you the entire dispensarybusiness is a failure and a fraud-thatit does more harm than good, is "rot-

fen,*' and so on. Kxtreme dry men

too; say that if liquor selling is an

abomination, as they think it is, iîseywould rather have the business con¬

ducted by those who do it from choice or

evén by disreputable and unlicensedbliud tigers tbao to have the people ofthe whole city-women, children,clergymen and all--forced to take partin it and to be identified with it.The first point settled, therefore, is

that the dispensary bas settled- aotbiogexeept some of the city's running ex¬

penses ; that it is uot accepted by every¬body as ibe solution of the liquor prob¬lem and that after a year and threemonths of experiment the people whosee it and feel it and'live with and pre¬sumably know all about its operationsand effects are yet divided concerningit. How far that division ruo* on.

original lines I do not know. î havesot yet fouud nnjbody who opposed the

dispensary who has been couverted to

it, or anybody who favored it who hasturned against it. The moderate peo¬ple who were not enthusiastic on one

side or the other seem to be yet turn¬

ing it over ia their minds cud theirposition is one of mild satisfaction so

far and of waiting for further develop¬ment."

ir I"few Theory.The following new theory of 1 he 'causeof-

diseases and the manner of treatment ¡3 ad-'vanced by Dr. S. R. Beckwith, »ho waa*the family physician ot the late PresidentGarfield * He has made a reputation that is-favorably known in the highest medical and .

scientific circles of this country and Europe."Consequently any opinions advanced by bin»are weighed caiefully by the medical pro-'fession.Dnring thr" l.'Sf'ywir I have devoted my-

entire time in improving the electrical condi-'tion of ihe Thermo Ozone Battery, and treat¬ing with it a great cu in her of sick; have-'furnished several hundred physicians wiih tbe^"device, and- received from- them unqualified,evidence of its curative value.

I BOW confidently assert that it is the most'useful adjunct to the art of medicine that has*ever been introduced ; and in my opinion will-1he found more advantageous iu domestic'treatment th«*n anything ktiown. It cttrydiffers from other medico-gal vas ic batterie**in the discovery that its currents were pro-duced*by heat and cold ; and that ozone and-'oxygen were liberated from the wet sponges-nsed, and the surrounding atmosphere of tbs--positive pole, and are carried bv the cnrreíííftoward the negative pole through the tissoesithereby forrainsr a circuit. By chemic«,a fhn i ty ozone atid oxygen are taken up in its :

passage by the veins and become mingled:with the impure Mood of these human pewers ;:there they form red corpuscles, and by theiranticeptic and purifving properties, desttcydisease germs and subdue d"s*»ase action.That red corpuscles are thus produced, I have?proven by microscopical examination of tHë-"venous blood bek're and after using -the''battery ; in every instance aftvr ihe batterybad heen applied, hundred? of partiallydeveloped corpuscles were found in the-'microscopical views. In numerous cases*

patients who were pale, even their lips color-'less, resumed a red color within one hour afterthe battery w*s used. In this experiment I havebeen eörror-orated bj nusaerous physiciansand'other intelligent persons, «ho recognized**that only ox^geu or ozone could as readilycause a return of colorHOW DOES SUCH TíTEATME.*ÍT' CSEB-

DISEASE?In reply I assert that nearly ali disease'"

originates io- the veins or sewers of the human"*body ; that every congestive and inflammatorydisease is produced by a disturbance of the*venous circulation, and that ir is the/ imme offparasites aud diseased products: In these ves-'sels with their capUlai it-s, are fonnd the micro-*nes>~rrt>:lari!il poisons, and animalcules*"*hfchr*produce Diphtheria and other contagious dis¬eases Here thry liv« ai-d'giöW, and as ilia*well known, are-best destroyed by ozone aed'*oxygen. I here positively assert from infor-'malton acquired during 40 years-experience*as medical teacher and practitioner, that tbe-"heretofore es-fuessed opinion ai regard-the'an*atomical reat of disease iä incorrect: diseasehas its oriïin and is located- in *hè blood con-*taioing the impurities and wastes of thehuman body, and from this blood it extends*"to and- destroys other tissues. Nature teaches*that it requires more oxygen when.*'sick, shown nv the rapid breathing, forthe*purpose of taking in more oxygen and the'increased action of the h^art »0 distribute it.-The loss of coofi-dence in medicine* by

physicians and the people, has come from awerroneoug"ibcory as to locatkj-n a nd'causation5*of disease, and cons*«uent failure by treat¬ment. I claim to be tue first to announce tba**-the impure contents of the human sewersproduced disease, as does the same channels-.when used in cities foT1 removal cí^lecteá*impurities.

While engaged ic practice I asserted int-1867, that kine pox never existed, that vacciner*was small pox modified by bovine1 itrnoeula*-*tion. It met with the similar opposition' thaiwill be given to ray present statement regarding*the cause and location of disease. As early aa

1854, by a series of articles, I claimed thatthe human mir d' was never diseased, that;insanity was due to bodily ailments. Thiswas opposed and I demonstrated in my hospi¬tal on Lake Street, Cleveland. Obio, and i tí*the Cincinnati private hospital for the insane-,that a greater' nusber o' 'rsanet were cureóVby adapting the treatment on this principle.Again whee ? demonstrated the* possibility ofrepresenting the heart's action by a~wrrKeorconditiotf of the pulse, it was opposed for"years, and-aow «sed ia- every hospital io the'country.

I mention these'facts to showMhr-f **t5rwness>Jof the profession in accepting improvéiBetets/in tbe art. I now predict that within the*next 10 years it will he acknowledged thatthe seat of disease'is in the venoua blood, a-nd*that the most satisfactory treataent for its:cure will be transfusion ofremedies* iifto' tbs'vei.s. In my opinion, oxygen and ozone are'the most important remedies for this purpose,andean te introduced with a hypodermic*syringe and an oxygen pump', or by electri-city. The latter will be accepted from its-convenience. I have gone far enon&h toknown that the diñases most readly cu'rui bjrthe battery are those of an infivnrrm^tory orí"*gin as Pneumonia, Croup, and high graces ofFever, and that it removes ot»8triïct:e««iSnfcd*:the brain cells' and quickly cur£s ï^fa^bnia^Nervous Debility, and general Brain" Fa£¿;A3 it cc sea a mpid flow of urioe trom one ofthe sewer out-lets it has been found to.satisfactorily cure nearly all of curable kidney-diseases I have seen in cases of TyxAm\6 Fever*in its second stage, tbe pulse redt-Ced-'15-b«a*tsAin one hour.
