THE CREED OF OUR FATHERS*
To the supeifioial political obser-
.-JS ver the most noticeable struggle now
going on in the country is the con
test bet we n Cleveland and Hill for
t£e Presidential nomination. But
to the man who, with the true
. interests of his country at heart,
probes to the depths of the political
problems that confront ns, this little
struggle appears iaeignificsn*.
There is a deeper and a graver sit
uation apparent to him who reads
b stwei n the lines, and there is no
use denying it. The turbid current
of dissatisfaction is sweeping across
the country, end the question thrown
down at the feet of the Democracy
is, not “who will be your nominee ?”
but “what reforms do you propose
to.wirry through ?”
Throughout the years that have
just passed the fact has become.more
and more apparent, that under the
existing laws of the Republic the
poor have grown poorer and the rich
richer, until the last year, memora
ble for its financial ^stringency, has
'“’^"weakened the fevth of • the masse s in
the government of their country and
fired them with a de e r m nation to
call for a new deal in the adminis
tralion of affairs. The farmer, plow,
ing through the fields, sowing in the
valleys, or resting after a hard day’

work around the family hearthstone,
has witnessed his earthly possession*
grow smaller and smaller, his wife
and children go to the cotton patch
when they should havp been at home
or at^sireaJj asd, wondered how such
Things could happen in a country of
which he was one of the sovereigns.
He has noticed the rapidly increas
ing wealth of the rich, and at the
same time been forced to sell his
cotton for less than it erst him to
raise it. Perfectly natural, there
fore, it is for him to seek somewhere
and somehow for redress of griev
ances and into the political world he
now comes in search of 8omeJ“ balm
ip Gilead.”
Where is relief to be found and
who are the friends to whom address
should be made ? He knows that
from the Republican party he can
expect no wholesome laws in the
matter under consideration. The
party that is dominated b> misrnle
and corruption is not the party with
which he wishes to affiliate. He
must oast his fortunes with the party
of his fathers or drift into a Third
party composed of men who fesl as
he feels.
lo those who are about to drift
away from Democratic moorings to
follow upon unknown and untried
seas the fortunes of Third party ism,
we would say a few plain words 1
Not into the realm of vituperation
and sarcasm and abase, bat into the
forum of reason would we lead them,
and there in a calm and fair and
dispassionate manner give onr argu
ments why they should hold fast to
the faith of their - fathers. If De
mocracy cannot stand upon the
basis of sound argument, then i
shoald give way.
T-e farmers are seeking reltef
they wish the enactment of such laws
as will enable them by the exercise
of industry and economy to emerge
from debt and desperation into
condition of prosperity and happi
ness. This is what they want and
they don’t care especially how they
get it. Now looking at the question
entirely from their standpaint, which
party affords the best chances to se
cure it ? Most assuredly the Dem
ocratic party.
What the farmers want is imme
diate relief, and granting that the
Third party movement could sweep
the Union and elect a President and
'jv-majority of the lower blanch of
Congress at one time, what hope has
the Third party of electing a major
ity of the Senate for years to come ?
None in the world. On the other
haiid, the farmers constitute the ma*
jority of the Democratic party, they
can frame the platform, and the par
ty can elect a President, the lover
House and possibly the Senate this
fall, if the Democrats stand united.
Judging the third party to be in its
strongest possible condition, the re
lief it promises is in the dim faiuro,
while if tl e D?m icracy r< mains in®
tact, relief is almost in sight. That
is the reason why the farmers should
remain in the Democratic party for
their O ' n good.
Whin petty politicians attempt to
lure you away from Democratic affil
iations, our larmer friends, remem
ber a'l the work of the Democracy in
past. In 1865, when the Stars and
Bars were furlei at Appomattox and
on returned from the field of bailie
o desolated homes, it was the creed
of Jefferson that found a welcome
lace in every Southern Leart and
the flag of Democracy that cheered
on on in yonr political fights agains
e-const r uctiomsts.
When carpet-bag rule and Federal
oppression hedged in your polling
places with bayonets, it was Demoo
racy that triumphed over your ene
mies and led you on to better times,
And now in your desperation the
parly is not going to desert yon
therefore stani under it- banner and
beneath its ample folds you wil’'find
protection for your best interests.
Remember that never since the
opening of the civil war, thirty two
years ago, has the Dt mocracy been
in possession of all three branches
of the government at the same time
herefore its hands have necessarily
I eea tied and it could accomplish
but little in the fight for rtl'ef and
reform. It has ever fought the fight
of the masses against the classes ; it
has always borne aloft the banner of
tariff reform ; its labors have been in
the direction of lessening the bur*
dens of taxation and pre uK>’+ng~the
economical admioistration of gov
ern m ntal affairs; it has fought your
battles and is still fighting them,and
in the hour when victory in every
branch of the government is within
i s grasp, the party, expects every
man to.do his*duty.
Pull toge her, pull hard, and by
virtue of a sweeping Democra'ic vie
tory this fall, relief will be se
cured.
then the platform, which is just get
ting the cart before the horse. The
people care notLing in the world for
Hill or Cb veland or any other can
didate until they get a platform of
principles, and then they will stand
a man on the platform. Thty are
not going to choose the man and then
pin the platform to him.
This much is said as a matter of
cautior, lest we ve ■’lure out too far
and find ourselves suddenly among
the breakers. Let us “ be eure we
are right, then go ahead ”
I he duly of the hi nr is plaiu ; it
is one that summons every liyal
Democrat to the front; to cease all
ni-rimination and abu e; to lay
aside ail fights for personal favorites;
and to bnckle down to work in pre
paration for the coming conflict
The first thing ^be Democratic
mafseB wish to see is a disposition
on the part of the Democratic-House
to pass such laws as will give them
financial relief. This can be done in
a few weeks. To place the farmer
in a position where he can by honest
i ffort lift the mortgage from his
home; to give to business a healthy
and vigorous flow ; to place the cm a
try upon a sounder and more eco
nomic basis ; these are things the
masses of the people are looking for
ward to as a result of Democratic
victory. Personal political favorites
no longer ca'ch their eye, nor do
hey capture their affections. Thei
how down and worship no political
god, nor will they follow blindly his
decrees.
The people are anxious to formu*-
late their platform, and when they
have done that they will find n-
trouble in putting a man on it. I
Democratic victory is to be secured
lant Democratic crew, and let the
good snip ride upon Che wave ; the
baverjis in sight; put on a full head
of 8team and land her safely in the
port. The opportunity of all oppor
tunities is at band ; “ now is the ac
cepted time.’’
The duty of the party is to get
everything in readiness to set sail
when the captain is nominated. To
do that will require united effort
throughout the entire Union ; there
must be no division in the ranks
every man must do his duty. It is
folly for those who seek relief to scut- 8
tie the ship that has carried them
brough so many storms and go to
sea on an untried craft that for all
they know will be at the mercy of
i he waves.
Let the par’y leaders, who have
been put to the front by their con-
atituences, consult together and pass
such laws as will restore confidenc
in its true sense among those who
now are dissatisfied ; let the leaders
of the party and the Democratic
press throughont the country re
assure the people on the subjects
that trouble them ; 1st factiona

“BE SURE YOU ARE RIGHT, THEN
GO AHEAD "
There is much in the words of
Davy Crockett that mtgbtwilh profit
he laid to heart by the great majori
ty of the Democratic press and party
leaders The National Convention
is approaching rapidly, at which
time the party is to frame its plat
form, upon which it will go to the
people. The people are anxiously
looking forward to that time to see
what the Democracy is going to do
or them on the questions of finan
cial relief, tariff reduction and eco
nomic measures. To frame a plat
form upon which a safe and winning
fight can be made will require the
deepest and gravest consideration
at the hands, not only of the peopl
in general, bat of all the party lead
ers and the Democratic press.
Such is' the problem before thi
Democracy, and how are the pres
and leaders going about its solution?
Tl ey are discussing Cleveland and
Hill, and instead of healing the
breach between New York Demo,
crate, are day by day driving the
wedge deeper that sends the two fac
tions further and further apart.
There is a danger line in all po
litical campaigns beyond which the
party should not be cartied. That
line has about been reached by
great many leading Democrats and
Democratic journals, and- the time is
at hand when they shoald face about
and change their methods.
Who are Grover Cleveland and
David Bennett Bill ? In plain words
they are two Democrats and that
all yon can make out of them. Yet
some people think that the world
will pome to an end unless Cleveland
is nominated, while others think
that Democracy will go to the dem
nition bow wows unless Hill is the
next nominee. And one faction
scoring the other, and the other re»
taliates, and the war is on. If one
nominated, the friends of the other
in New York will be wrought up to
such a pilch of resentment that they
will sulk in theii tents. And after
all, is the Democratic party so weak
as to have only two members from
which to choose its nominee ?
The way things look now is that
the candidate is to be named and
the measures and no
NOW IS the accepted time.

The opportunity comes to men to do
good, to thrive, to prosper, to advance
their interests ; they neglect it and
in a moment it is gone; and the only
remembrance they have is the mel
ancholy solace of those sad words

tant then for met of all class a and
conditions to have the sense to note
the appearance of opportunities and
the quickness to grasp them ere the r
are gone from them forever. It is
easy enough to ride in triumphantly

Their Owh Supply Crops,
Savannah M iming News:-
The-farmers in ad parts of the soul'
are waking up to the fact that in order
to save thi mselves from financial rui
they must produce their own supply
crops. It is a difficult thing for them
to change their system - of f irming—p
get rid of the idea that a crop tbat
brings money is the one that insure
prosperity. A crop that can always b
turned into money is an attractive om-
to the farmers, because with money
they can purchase whatever they want
1'hey do not take iuto account to
great an extent as they should the fact
that all the money they get for cotton
is spent for what they.
“The Democratic press of the State can P roduce at home Although
as muoh corn, wheat and hay cannot be
raised on an acre in the south as in the
wpst yet they can be raised by south
ern farmris for less than they can

Why Couldn’t It be Made a Profitable
-CropSL..
The Charleston News and C urier in
recent issue discussed the advisabili-
y of planting hops io the State of Sontl.
Carolina.
In this day when farmers aie looking
after crops that will bring profit, al !
uggestions are read with interest, and
the ideas of the News and Courier are
given as follows:
We have not yet heard from any of
our agricultural friends in renly to our
inquiries relative to the practicability ot
introducing h p culture into South
Carolina. We think tbe subject is one
of considerable interest and promise,
however, and venture to ask agaiu
whether it is not true tbat hops h tv*
always been cultivated in the State, on
a small scale, for family use; and, if so
why they could not be cultivated on it
larger s.‘ale for market? Our farmer?
are seeking to diversify their crops, an'
have succeeded in reinstating the aban
doned tobacco crop to their great ed
vantage, despite many predieiions a d
more fears of failure, This was accom
plished in a year or two bv ‘a little
thoughtfulness and experimentation
Why not try the same means with hops?
It is worth while. There is a large
and steady market for hops, and good
qualities bring paying prices W e do
not know whether it is a difficult nr
uncertain crop to cultivate or not; that
is a question for future consideration.
The only point we make now is that as
the hop plant thrives well in this State
—some portions of it at least—we think
the Alliances, Granges, etc , and intel
ligent farmers generally should give the
qu stion of its cultivation on a large
scale their prompt and careful at
tendon
There i i a large and growine demand
for t!«. product. Recent statis’ics prove
11 it the consumption of beer in the Brit
ish isles is steadily increasing, and the
increased consumption of malt liqnors
in the United States is even more nota
ble. Naturally as the consumption ot
beer increases tbe demand for hops must
increase, and there is a good future
ahead for the crop in this country,
wherever it is pro laced. In 1850 tbe
production of hops in the United States
was about 3,500.000 pounds In 1870
the crop had ri«en to 25,500,000 pounds
Last year New York alone produced 20,-
500,000 pounds, Washington about 10,-
000 000 pounds, California nearly 8,000,
000, Oregon nearly 5,000,000,
and other States smaller quantities—
the total for the country b -ing nearly
50,000,000 pounds. Tne price of the
crop of 1881 has averaged 16 12 cents
per pound to date, against 30 cents for
the preceding crop and 19 cents for the
crop of 1889. Tbe Pacific coast found
profitable sale for most of its crop on
the Atlantic coast If our farmers can
