THE MANINGIMiEi.

LOUIS APPELT, Editor.

Wednesday, May 8, 1S95.

The silver craze has taken possession ofthe Western States and is spreading likewild-fire. Every indication points to a

fierce battle for free silver in the next na-

tional campaign. From now on the peoplewill hear of silver, gold, monometallism,bimetallism and other financial "isms" totheir heart's content, and when it is allover and the politicians take their seats,the people will still be plowing on andwondering when times will get better.

On reading the News and Courier thismorning we felt inclined to take a bigdraught of Hood's Sarsaparilla to dispel"that tired feeling" which came over us as

we read the return of Commissioner Mixonin the contempt proceedings before JudgeGoff in Columbia yesterday. CommissionerMixon no doubt was acting under the ad-vice of his lawyers, but, all the same, hisreturn to the court that he meant no de-fiance, and .is ready and willing at alltimes to respect the court, has the ring ofa cracked bell about it.

The United States Circuit Court eversince last Thursday has been the scene ofone of the greatest legal battles that hasever been fought in this State. Some ofthe arguments in the -registration casewould, to use the language of an eminentlawyer, "grace any court in theUnion, do credit to any lawyer, thebeat not excepted." The high complimentwas paid by this gentleman after hearingAttorney General Barber for the registra-tion law and Mr. C. A. Douglass against it.

General McGrady, who is assisting theState in a most able and dignified manner,showed up the inconsistency of Dr. Samp-son Pope, and made this lawyer-doctor andman ofmany occupations squirm like an eel;to such an extent that Sampson, becameshorn ofhisstrength, pleaded with the courtfor protection.

The fight that is being waged against theState has uncovered the fact that there ex-ists in this State a class of men who are

patriois for revenue only. The registrationlaw now in dispute was enacted in 1882,when the State government was in thehands of others, and when these partieslost their control, they endeavored to de-vise some plan to regain that control. Itwas-not until every other effort had failedthat they entered into the scheme of tear-ing up the law made by themselves, andthen not until their pockets had been am-

ply filled with money in the shape of feesfrom the Republican party which has beenlooked upon as the enemy of white supre-macy and anglo-saxon civilization in thisState. Major Caldwell, one of the attor-neys employed to tear up our registrationlaw, becomes tired of having his motivesquestioned, and wants it understood thatbecause he is opposing "outrageous laws"be is "not fighting his State." 'Tis passingstrange that this would-be lover of justicedid not know before 1890 the State hadupon its statute books "outrageous laws."He raises his hands in holy horror becausehis fellow-citizens brand him as a traitorsimply because "he wants to do away withlegislation in which a majority of the votersin the State took no part and which theydo not approve." Who is this majority,that this gallant Major, who claiins to haveshown his patriotism on a hundred fieldsofcarnage,aspeaksof? Is it a majority ofhis white brethren? No; it is that majori-tywhichoncehadfull control of this gov-ernment and abused that control to suchan extent that caused the white men torisk their all in order topeere their civ-

-:ilization. It is not to be wondered at thatMajor Caldwell and his associate, Dr.Sampson Pope, wince at the frowns andexpressions of disgust from their fellowEhite men, and were it not for the fact thatthe white men of this State were divided*into political factions, these men wouldnot have dared, even with the tempting in-fluence of Republican gold, to takethe steps they have towards anni-hilating white supremacy. The fac-tional division in our rankshas given such men an opportunity andthey are using it for every dollar they canget, but we hope the day is not far off whenthe gold these men receive will turn into

Sisonous vipers and recoil upon them.e United States courts may decide

against the State in her election laws, butthe .white men of the State will not loseeouirage thereby. They will go on and~keep possession of this government, eost

h'at it may. This government belongs to-the white men ; their forefathers bought itwith their blood, and, if the necessityarises, theirsons willbe found ready and*willing to h'eld on to their heritage. Thewhite men of this State diffron factional is-sues~butwhenitcomesto a question of whiteman's supremacy or a return to the oldconditions, it will be found that factionalissues will be thrust aside and Conserva-

*tives and Reformers will be shoulder toshioulder.

SILAS JONES' TRIBUTE

ToConservatism, Tadyism and Side-walk iFarming.

"Papa, when we were talking the othernight, you said that the Conservatives were'anxious to get half the delegates to theConstitutional convention, and you fearedthey would use the negro to secure theether half. Why, papa, are they so anxious

-togetitall?""Well, son, that opens up a great ques-

tion with many intricate points. I don'tknow that I can make it exactly plain toyou in as few words as I would like. Youmust bear in mind-first, that the so-calledConservative faction is very largely (Imight say almost entirely) composed ofprofessional men, such as lawyers, doe-tors, merchants, bankers, brokers and all

*-the sharpers and swindlers ; that thesemen ever since the creation, I might say;have subsisted and grown rich upon thefara.ing, mechanical and laboring classes ;that with their wealth and power they haveinfluenced and directed legislation. Inthis way they have trenched upon therights and stolen the liberties of the poorclasses to such an extent that there is butlittle protection left to the poor man. Now,in the present State Constitution, with allits faults, there is one good and wise pro-vision made for the poor man-the home-stead law. This was a barrier set be-tween the poor man or defenseless widowand these heartless Shylocks. Beyondthis they could not go in their efforts todestroy their hunted victim. Now,it has been the dream and aim of these pro.fessional men for many years to wipe outthis merciful provision that they might get

. all. They carefully conceal their desire,-and allusion to it is suppressed, so that'they may not awaken the suspicion andopposition which- has been lulled to sleepby glittering generalities and the cry ofwhite supremacy, ete., etc., ad nauseume."

"If these people-I mean the Conaerva-tives-love white supremacy as much asthey would have us believe, why do theirleading lawyers and citizens disgracethemselves by the most damning testimonyagainst a noble-hearted gentleman, such asJohn L. MeLaurin is known.to be. in favoror the negro republican, Wilson ?""The white men who went before that

committee and aided, by falsehood andotherwise, the cause of the negro Wilsonshould be forever held in the utmost con-tempt by all respectable citizens ; and,mark it. they will be. Now, sdn, withsuch examples as this before our eyes,would we not be foolish to trust our futurewelfare and that our families in the handsof such men, with the stain of black in-f~uny fresh upon them?"

"Why, papa, did white men-callingthemselves decent-testify against Mr.McLaurin?"

"Yes, son, men with white skins, buthearts blacker than tar, had the effrontry togo upon the stand and testify to falsehoodsin order to aid a negro to defeat GeneralMeTaurmin T is instances of this kind that

have made all true reformers look withmuch distrust upon pledges from the Con-servatives."

"Papa, are all farmers Reformers?""Why no, my son. There are quite a

number of farmers who are Conservatives,just as you will find some mechanics howl-ing and fighting in the defense of monop-olists, who are ready to crush them whenthey get power enough. Some are againsttheir own interests through ignorance,while some are against their best interestssimply because they are toadies.""What is a toady, papa?""A toady, my son, is a man who at

heart feels that he is an inferior being.The dress, pomp and display of the wealthyclasses dazzles his eyes and addles hisweak brain. He does not envy so much as

he adores them. His aim in life is to imi-tate these people in every way possible.He walks and talks like them ; he goes totheir church whether he has any religiousbelief or not ; he conducts all his affairsas near like them as possible ; his childrenmust go to the same school and must actas the children of the models act ; theymust afieet a style in dress and mannersexactly like the pattern before than,though it entail an expense that leads tofinal destruction. One patronizing smile,one-only one-short visit from the adoredsuffices for- a life of rebuffs and con-

tempt, and is a red-letter day in the cal-endar of these miserable beings."

"Well, papa, what made me ask you ifall farmers were Reformers was what BillySimkins said to-day. Billy is in my classand he says that his pa is a Conservativeand don't believe in the Reformers, whoare all poor trash, anyway, and his pa is afarmer."

"Yes, son, James Simkins is a Conserva-ttve. He is also a farmer, it is true, andthere are several more like him in Tulipertownship. They are of the class I havejust described. Simkins, like many of hiskind, has mortgaged all his possessions tokeep up this style. He has been recog-nized by the leaders as what is called a

very progressive farmer. It has rainedpoor Simkins. for now he devotes all histime, energy and money to cultivating afew heads of 'cabbage, some turnips,squash and pumapkins for the differentcounty fairs. Last year he got nearly $30in prizes, as well as a whole lot of blue andred ribbon and sheets of parchment withgreat red and gold seals distributed all overthem ; also a half column in the WeeklyBugle Blast. All this glory cost him only$418.63. You will find, as a rule, that theseglory-'hunting farmers are Conservatives."

"Well, papa, ain't fairs a good thing forfarmers ?"

"No, son, not as conducted by profes-sional men or sidewalk farmers." -

"What is a sidewalk farmer, papa?""A sidewalk farmer is a man who lives in

town and has a garden filled with jimpsonweeds and dog fennel where in the earlyspring he buried two or three dollars'worth of garden seed. He has read a greatdeal about how to manage farm crops inthe "hints to farmers," which nearly everyalmanac contains, and can give you moreremarkable information on farming thanwould be wise to follow. If you ask himwhy he let the weeds get ahead of him hewill tell you about the unreliability oflabor in the South, and deeply deploresthe fact that "the damned nigger won'twork." But he 'makes your hair fairlystand on end by the glowing accounts ofwhat he is going to do next year. Givehim an empty soap box or a vacant space ona shop counter upon which to rest him-self-for he is always very tired-and hewill keep a store full of people listening tohis eloquence. His knowledge is variedand by no means confined to agriculture.He can tell you exactly how much moneyper capita there was in each nation up to Ia. tSaturday night; he can tell you exaei.ywhen the next war between the Hottentotsand the Laplanders will break out, andjust how and in what particular it will af-fect this country. He handles the Biblewithout gloves, and can point out itsglaring errors to his own satisfaction. Hecan show you the weak spots in Shakespere,and philosophy is easy to him. He is anall-round oracle ; he never seems any olderthan he did twenty or thirty years ago ;his species seem never to die, but live onand en, and no one every knows whatfinally is their end. A dead town or cross-roads oracle and a dead grey mule are twosights rarely ever seen."

"Papa, 'why do you object to fairs?""I do not object to fairs if conducted by

practical farmers. What I do object to isthe so-called fairs, which are merely placesfor the gathering of bunco-steerers, three-card -monte men, horse jockeys, fakirs ofkinds, swindlers, pickpockets, etc., etc., inwhich farmers and their produce are onlypermitted on sufferance, and where thecity or town professional men pocket largesums by the sale of rights and privilegesto these scoundrels, who get fat on thegullibility or innocence of the countrypeople, who are attracted to it by cheaprailroad fares and highly colored posters--much as a circus attracts the negro, wherehe is likewise robbed.""Papa, Bill Simkins says his pa is going

to be some kind ot a manager at the nextfair, and that they can all go in free. Canthey?''

"Yes, I reckon they can, for Simkins issuperintendent of the machinery depart-ment because he has run a herse rake anda mowing mrehine for two years. Heknows no more about machinery than oldUncle Toby Jackson, but .he can do aboutas well as any of them. He can lookknowing and wise when examining a newhind of cane mill and tie a ribbon on itfor the best cider press on exhibitionor threshing machine and separatorfor a cotton gin and condensor. These aresmall errors very common and are easilyand pleaantly adjusted. Simkins is ahappy man as he struts around properlybadged-like some rare and unique speci-men of humanity on exhibition. He ruinshimself financially. He dines and winesthe other managers, and for the two orthree days of the fuir wouldn't think ofswopping places with the Emperor ofGermany.""Does he get any pay -for this, papa ?""Yes,.son ; he is abundantly paid in

glory, and for the three days is the cyno-sure of all eyes. His name is printed inlarge black letters in all the premium lists.The Bugle Blast drops out for one issueLydia Pinkhamn's benevolent countenanceto make room in its advertising.columnsfor an alleged wood cut of Simkins, whosecountenance expresses entirely too muchink and makes him look like a Spanishpirate with a three-years' beard on hisface. Now, son, get to your books andstudy your lesson. I want to read the lastnumber of the Bugle Blast and see what ishappening in Tuliper township."

Tired, Weak, Nervous,Means impure blood, and overwork or toomuch strain on brain and body. The onlyway to cure is to feed the nerves on pureblood. Thousands of people .certify thatthe best blood purifier, the best nervetonic and strength builder is Hood's Sarsa-parilla. What it has done for others it willdo for you-Hoed's Cures.Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss of appc-

tite and general debility ail disappearwhen Hood's Sarsaparilla is persistentlytaken, and strong nerves, sweet sleep,strong body, sharp appetite, and, in aword, health and happiness follow the useof Hood's Sarsaparilla.The strong point about Hood's Sarsapa-

rilla is that they are permanent, becausethey start from the solid foundation ofpurified, vitalized and enriched blood.
