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’ L ' :r ./■ 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 fights within the party cease; and a 1 will be well with the Democracy If we let this opportune momen' pass, it will not come again. The end tf the voyage is in sight ;~the sunlight of brighter and better day*- beams upon the faces oj the toiling millions ; the glories of Democratic victory are disclosed to those who for years have fought its battles •ne more long, hard, and united pul and the right will triumph. but r o’t in a way that can be Struel as offensive or irjnriois ,01B N« any great eader, for whoever is rom\ inated should and must have the united support of the Democratic press of the country ” The Agricultural society at its Cutti- bert meeting is doing good work. Af ter having gotten down to work, the Before Breakfast club®, were discussed by Mrs. W. H. Felton, and strong rea sons given way the farmers should set ide a garden for their wive^ and de vote some attention to it each day. This idea was originated by Dr E D. New ton at the last meeting of the Agricul tural society in Athens. This society will accomplish good in regard to the cotton crop Cotton acreage, is a sub- ct of general discussion. Georgia far mere are going to look out for them selves this year and make their own supplies of provisions with less cotton than heretofore. will be on the man. “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. Said an eminent*author, “there an three things that come not back, the poken word, the^pl arroy.-gfid the lost opportUDft^^ and~his words -fkld^fflifinnation every d»y that glides by into the realm of the pa»t 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 it might have been.” How impor 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 upon'the flood-tide of any move men 1 , but when the opportunity is neglect d and the tide begins to ebb, thi natural consequence is a stranded nark upon the beach. There is a perfect revolution o! public sentiment in the United States on the great questions of the day the masses of the people are thor uglily wrought up concerning the xisting laws of the Republic, the people have declared nncompromis ing war against the enemies of their interests; tariff reform, financial re lief and economy are the war cries >f the honest and toiling bread-win uers, and before this movement the corrupt and oppressive law»make of Republicanism cower in fear and he glittering teoiple of monopol and grinding oppression reared by unholy hands daring the last twenty seven years is tottering to its falL The sovereign freemen ot America have borne in silence the oppressive laws of a quarter of a century, until at last forbearance has ceased to be a virtue, and the suffrage of a nation is called upon to remedy the intol erable evil. Even as the Savioui drove the money-changers from the temple, so will the people cleanse the Capitol of their country from the corrupt rule of Republicanism. The war is on and it will not be endejl until the sword is sheathed and the glorious victory won. The tide is flowing in and the good old democratic ship is resting at an chor ; for thirty-two years has she striven with all her power to make the landing and capture every de partment of government, but as yet ImB failed to do so. The political storms of the years that have gone may have disabled her in some re spects, but with the help of a good platform of principles and a number of willing workers she may be put in good sailing condition in a few days The tide rolls in, the opportunity is at hand, lift up your anchor, gal- -Editorial Comment eatigatien of Finkertouism.

His plan is oie which cannot be too frequently presented to the plan ters of the South ; first because it throws some light upon a point in which they are vitnl'y and immedi ately interested, and second, because it is a plan which, if faithfully and persistently pursued, will bring peace and prosperity. “ The main points,’! says The Baltin ore Sun, “are worth reproducing as an example and in centive to the farmers everywhere. Smith’s advice is summed up in the single fact that formers should raise everything for man and beast at home” That they should aban don tbe credit system and live within their income is a suggestion whos plausib lily is self-evident.

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 grow the plant successfully, it really seems that they ought to be able to compete in the northern market with distant California, and the high-priced labor and lands of ^ew England and the northern states generally, besides sui plying tbe breweries in the soot: which are increasing in number and our put vearly.
