PLAIN LANGUAGE
IS USED BY CONGRESSMAN TILLMAN
OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Lively Fight In South Carolina
Agalnit the Sub-Treasury Scheme—The
Brother of the Governor to the Reacue
of the Tlllmanlte*.
Charleston, Aug. 8.—Congressman
George D. Tillman, of this state, has
come to the assistance of his brother,
Governor Ben Tillman, on the fight
against the sab-treasury scheme. In a
speech delivered at Parksville, Edge-
field county, he very plainly outlines the
fight that the Tillman wing of the De
mocracy is going to moke against the
Fanners’ Alliance in the next campaign.
Among other lively things said by Con
gressman Tillman, were the following:
"God Almighty never made a grander
scoundrel than Macune."
Senator Peffer wag denounced as "an
ex-chicken thief, and a hater of south
ern men. " Macnne as "an ex-Republi-
can and a scurvy politician. He (Macnne)
has injected the snb-treasnry bill into
the Ocala platform for a base purpose.
I would tell him and Peffer what
think about them if they were here,
said Tillman, "and Til tell them through
the public prints."
The third party, he said, is projected
by political assassins and ent throats,
and if the Caucasian race was divided
by it, hell would yawn to receive it.
One cause of hard times is the scarcity
of money. One-third of all the money
circulation is expended for ;taxes. "We
need one thousand million greenbacks
more in circulation. ” He attacked the
national banks. He paid his compli
mentsto Macnne. He said, "God Al
mighty never made a grander scound
rel. ” If the Alliance of the south
wants to serve its friends at the north,
let it give their support to Campbell, of
Ohio. As long as the Alliance confines
Itself to business and social advance
ment be was for it, bat since it had
gone into politic* he was against it.
Alliance papers and Democratic papers
should whoop him np with all their
strength, and should do all the work
with a vim and dash, for he is fighting
the battles of both parties.
The Democrats of this country, con
tinued he, should throw Cleveland over
board ; they can’t afford to snpport him.
The Democrats of the west and south
can’t affiliate too much with such east
ern Democrats aa oppose the free coin
age of silver. Affiliation with them will
greatly hamper and hurt the party, and
may defeat ft. Cleveland never earned
a state west of the Ohio river, mainly
owing to his opposition to free silver.
The platform for which the Ohio Demo-
crats are fighting is the ground on
which the Alliance and the south should
make its fight The platform condemns
the iniquitous force bill and the McKin
ley tariff, and favors the free o .inage of
silver. It also advocates an income tax
which will lessen the taxes of the poor,
and make the rich pay a more just pro
portion of the expense* of the country.
Tillman's utterances derive significance
from the fact that they indicate a break
in the hitherto solid ranks of the Alii-
•boo in this state.
J. W. Stokes, president of the State
Alliance, and W. F. Tolbert, state treas
urer, lead the sub-treasury wing, rad
Governor Tillman and hi* brother the
anti-rab-treasury wing. The straight-
out Democrat* who were overwhelmed
in the last election, and whose voting
strength is in the towns and dries, are
watching the fanner** fight with much
BERNER'S LITTLE BILL
interest.
