The Great Material Question.
Shall this country be controlled
by the government or by the trusts?
This is the greatest question in
connection with the material affairs
of the people that confronts us now.
The beginning was with the con
tention that the infant industries of
this country needed tariff protection
in order that manufacturing might
be increased, labof given employ
ment at better wages, better mar
kets for farm products, and general
prosperity promoted.
This was decidedly catchy, and
the republican party increased its
strength by a line of policy that has
operated to build up rapacious mo
nopoly and heartless trust corpora
tions.
It has long since been demonstrated
that the tariff protection afforded
the manufacturers operated only to
give them excessive profits without
any relative benefits to the consum
ers of their produots or the laborers
engaged in their manufacture.
The recent unprecedented increase
in the number of trusts, and in the
announced volume of capital invest
ed, proves conclusively that the re
publican party is a partner in gener
al with the money power engaged
in the management of corporations.
The salvation of the country de
pends upon the overthrow of repub
lican power, and it can only be done
through the democratic party.
The keynote of the congressional
campaign is expressed in the follow
ing resolution adopted by the dem
ocratic state convention of South
Carolina at Columbia last Thursday:
“That we view with alarm the
power whioh the trusts, through the
republican party, are exeroising over
legislation and national politics, and
their ability to control the prices of
the necessities of life without regard
to the law of supply and demand.
We condemn the hypocritical atti
tude of the republican leaders who
abuse trusts and combines while
they use the money obtained from
them and extorted from the people
to debauch the ignorant voters of
the country.'’

In the democratic state conven
tion of South Carolina at Columbia
last Thursday a pledge was fixed for
candidates for the senate and house
of representatives, requiring them to
stand on the party platform and
vote with their colleagues on party
questions. This is understood to
place the democratic ban upon Sen
ator McLaurin, but the convention
went further and condemned his
course in the senate. Senator Till
man practically dominated the con
vention, and it is said A. 0. Latimer
is his choice for the senatorship,
The other| prospective ' candidates
are J. G. Evans, Johnstone, Elliott,
Hemphill and Henderson. The plat
form declares in favor qf a. tariff for
revenue, reciprocity with Cuba, and
severely condemns imperialism, mo
nopoly trusts and tariff .protection.

Of Absorbing Interest.
, By Fair Flay.
We are having more gospel preach
ed among us than usual, apd plenty
of politics, too.
Some of our interested people
want to know who will be the next
clerk, the next sheriff, the next so
licitor; who’s going to be this and
who’s going to be that. They are
getting very impatient as to who
will be elected. Well, we have lots
of good men aspiring for office; and
I truly wish all their political aspi
rations could be gratified, so that all
could get a taste of politics, and
then I am afraid they would never
want to get out of the way for the
other fellow. It’s a wonder some of
them are not wanting to know who
will be our next ordinary, two years
hence, and if they do, I have no
doubt but what they could find out
through our Home Journal editor.
He looks very “ordinary” anyway*
I have no unkind word to say of
any candidate in this campaign, and
the majority of them are my per
sonal friends, but I do think we
should cast our votes for the most
competent. It is a compliment to
any county to have officers to fill
their places honorably. We very of
ten, though, along on this line, let
our friendship and sympathy get
the better of our judgment.
Isn’t it right amusing to Bee how
hopeful all the candidates are? They
can all sing now without one dis
senting voice, “Amazing grace, how
sweet the sound,” but after the 5th
of June there will be wailing and
gnashing of teeth with some of the
candidates. Be cheerful, boys; no
matter what happens, sunshine is
the best.
I am receiving some very nice let
ters from the state candidates ask
ing me to use my influence for them.
They must think I am a very influ
ential Houstonian. If I wss as pop
ular as they think, I would run for
coroner and beat Barney Schilling.
If it wasn’t too late, I would try
him a barrel anyway.

Reports from all over the state
now indicate that the primary next
Thursday will not give any candi
date for governor a majority of the
delegates to the state canvention.
In the convention there will be 850
delegates, and 176 will be necessary
to nominate. If this should be true,
it is argued by many that Estill will
most likely be the nominee, the log
ic of the argument being that in
any effort to break the deadlock the
Guerry and Terrell delegates will be
more easily persuaded to vote for
Estill than for the other candidate.
