We have watched the proceedings
of the Democratic parties in all the
States, to ascertain their views in
reference to the great question of the
tariff. Without exception, as far as
we have seen democratic action on
the subject, there has been a uniform
denunciation of the present high
tariff, and this has been the case in
the North and West as well in the
South, by every democratic conven
tion which has been convened, and
now comes the action of the Wiscon
sin Democrats, in their convention
which met at Madison, in that State,
on the 15th of the present month.
That body spoke in plain and unmis
takable terms on this great question.
We copy its resolution.
It was the last resolution adopted
by that body and this is the language
used. This is the last declaration of
the platform:
“That a reduction of the tariff to
revenue basis, is a cardinal principle
of the Democratic party and that
those members of the present House
of Representatives, selected as Dem
ocrats, who voted against the bill
for the reduction of the tariff, deserve
no recognition in democratic coun
cils.”
What does that mean? It is not a
denunciation of them as men. They
are entitled to their opinions, but
voting against the bill they are not to
be recognized as democrats, as mem
bers of the Democratic party. A
party is a body of people held to
gether upon principle. It must have
a creed to which its adherents must
conform. If the party contends for a
low tariff for revenue only, and not
for protecting the manufacturers, its
members must conform to that creed.
Of course no man is bound to support
a low tariff if he believes in a high
one. As no party has a right to insist
upon a man^s adherence to its doc
trines if he thinks they are dangerous
or wrong. So no man has a right to
force himself upon a party, if his doc
trine and acts are violative of the
principles of the party. Common
sense teaches that if a man’s opinions
are at variance with those of a party
he has no right to go into its meet
ings to oppose its rules and acts. If
the difference is too radical for com
mon union, the minority should de
part and seek new associations. Eve
ry one will admit that it is a serious
matter for 25 or 30 persons to defeat a
party when their votes added to the
majority, would secure a party tri
umph. A few discordant members
may defeat a party, on the tariff, or
the silver question, when they are,
beyond question, the two most im
port measures which at present divide
the great parties of the country. We
regret that there is any reason for a
discussion like this, and we feel assur
ed that no reasonable man in the
democratic party can censure the ma
jority for finding fault with democrats j
who defeat the party, not only by
withholding their votes, but by actu
ally casting them with those of the
opposing party. Who can be the ar
biter to settle such a dispute? There
is no way to settle it but by referring
the mater to the constituents of the
parties who refused to vote with the
majority. And if they are sustained
by their constituents the old Demo
cratic ship will be temporarily ex
posed to the winds and storms and
possibly to deplorable disaster and
defeat. It w r ould hold on, howev
er, and look for changes in other
sections to make amends for tempora
ry losses. We fell assured there is a
tide in Democratic affairs, w hich tak
en at the flood, will lead to prosper-
I Beech Island, S. C., )
Sept. 17th, 1886.)
Editors Union-Recorder:
Your correspondent now has his
face turned homeward, and will, on
his return to Augusta, resume his
weekly letters to your excellent pa
per-. For two weeks past 1 have been
rusticating in Western Carolina, go
ing from point to point in the Savan
nah valley. The crops in the river
swamps were totally destroyed by
the spring freshets, too late for the
farmers to re-plant. The soil in these
bottoms is very fertile, productive of
the finest corn that grows in the State.
In some portions the stalks average
twenty feet in height, and I saw one
the other day that measured thirty
/ ro . m ro °t to tassel. German
Millett is also cultivated in great
abundance. These fertile, low lands
are now covered with grass, and the
only crop that the swamp farmers will
gather this year will be one of hav.
In the highlands I find the farmers
greatly depressed on account of the
failure of their crops. The heavy
rains in the early part of the summer,
then the drouth, and now in many
places the approach of the caterpillar
have made such ravages that in this
section only about one-half of a crop
will be made. When will our farmers
cease planting so much cotton?—in
fact nothing but cotton with a small
percentage of com thrown in.. It is
time that they were turning their at
tention to diversfied farming, for if
they continue losing money on cotton
as the majority are now losing, their
lands will fall into the hands of North
ern money lenders before many years.
The country is well adapted to a di
versity of crops, and peculiarly to
stock raising. Some of the largest
and finest pastures I have ever seen
abound in this section of the State,
along the Port Royal Railroad, in easy
reach of Augusta as a market. Some
man with a small capital could buy
or rent one of these pastures on easy
terms, stock it with sheep, hogs, cows,
&c, and in a few years could make a
fortune. It would pay a thosuand per
cent better than planting cotton. A
few' days since I attended a meeting of
the Beech Island Agricultural club.
This is the oldest farmers’ club in
South Carolina, and hag done much
to benefit the planters of this section
of the State. Jin his address before the
Edgefield Club, a few weeks since,
Senator Butler declared that on ac
count of the existence of this club, the
Beech Island farmers were the most
intelligent in the State. They meet
once a month and discuss some subject
of practical benefit. On this particu
lar occasion the subject was “Stock
Raising,” and the Club was highly en
tertained by the scientific and practi
cal remarks of Maj. Harry Hammond
in reference to the same. He advised
the farmers to raise their own hogs,
to improve the condition of their
cows, and particularly to raise their
own horses. Ex-Sheriff Sibley, of Au
gusta was present, and gave the club
his own experience in stock raising.
Several farmers immediately announc
ed their intention of raising their own
horses, and arrangments are now be
ing made to obtain a blooded animal
for this purpose. At the close of the
discussion, the club and their invited
guests repaired to an adjoining room
where a delicious barbecue and sump
tuous repast were served by Messrs.
Tutt and Youngblood, the stewards of
the day.
Beech Island is bloody ground. The
famous Sand Bar Ferry, connects her
principal high-way with Georgia soil.
Across this ferry the boatman has car
ried many duelists. On this side of
the Savannah’s banks many bloody
fights have occurred. I passed the
tree a few days ago under which Redd
of Augusta shothis antagonist to death.
In this same field the handsome
Tilly met his former friend, Radcliff of
Augusta in mortal combat, and was
carried home with the life blood fast
oozing from his bowels, caused by the
latter’s deadly aim. Here D'Antignac,
McDowell, and a host of others illus
trated the old Southern chivalry, and
bravely faced their opponents in
deadly combat. Thank God this
wicked thing is dying out, and will
soon be numbered with the past.
My summer's vacation is fast draw
ing to a close, and in a few days I will
again be at my accustomed work.
The holidays have been delight
ful, but I welcome the approaching
return of hiy daily labors.

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent,
Washington, Sept. 20, 1886.
Editor Union-Recorder:
The principal event for the comiug
week will be the inauguration of an
industrial exposition of the colored
people of this city. Not only are bus
mess interests throughout the coun
try improving under the “blight” of
democratic rule, but the “poor color
ed people” whose fate Mr. Hayes
bewailed when he learned that Tilden
was elected, are so well satisfied by
their progress that the many thrifty
representatives of the race at the Cap
ital are about to hold a great fair to
display and celebrate their industrial
progress. The exhibition will include
samples of the work of colored arti
sans and mechanics in many trades
and handicrafts and it will be organiz
ed and conducted wholly by people of
African blood.
The negroes of the South hardly
require to hold a fair to make known
the result of their industry. It is
amply demonstrated by the great
crops of cotton, rice, tobaeco, corn
and other staples of that region, and
in the rapidly increasing production
of iron, coal, lumber and building
stone. The “right of labor and to en
joy the fruits of their labor,” which
Lincoln asked for the freed men, is
now as thoroughly improved by them
as the race characteristics and the
climate influences of the sunny south
will permit.
The race is likewise prospering in
other ways. Its young are taking ad
vantage of the schools provided for
them, and the fears of re-enslavement
or oppression which selfish politicians
inculcated from selfish motives are no
longer felt. The negro is a political
issue and the bloody shirt pennon ap
pear to be out of politics. They are
not in the planks of recent Republi
can platforms. Republican orators
can no longer point with alarm to
the bugbear of re-enslavement—that
nonsense has been dissipated forever.
If the Democrats are successful in
maintaining their present majority in
the Fiftieth Congress, as seems un
questionble, Speaker Carlisle will
have to look about in a lively manner
to find the right men to have charge
of the preliminaries of legislation
The Democratic conventions show up
to date that, not less than 22 of the 51
chairmen of the committees of the
House of Representatives have been
refused re-nominations, and not more
than three quarters of the conven
tions have yet assembled. I doubt
the wisdom of thus refusing to re
elect experienced men, for it handi
caps the party. Several of the substi
tutes however, have been in Congress
before and possess large ability, cour
age and discretion.
The rumor that Secretary Manning
is to be sent to Austria ‘as United
States Midister in order to give him an
opportunity to spend his time at cer
tain springs that would benefit his
health, has been circulated here. Sec
retary Bayard knows nothing about
the matter. The only explanation ob-
obtained from the other people who
do not know anything about it is that
the suggestion has been thrown out
for whaflit is worth in order to enable
the President to retain the public ser
vices of Mr. Manning in a not very ex
acting office where he would have an
opportunity to regain his health.
The Acting Secretary of the Treasu-
1 y this week issues the 142nd call for
the redemption of bonds. The call is
for $15,000,000 of the three per cent loan
of 1882; “Notice is given that the prin-
pal and accrued interest of the bonds
here in below designated will be (paid
at the Treasury of the United States,
in the city of Washington D. C., on
the 16th day of October, 1886, and that
the interest on said bonds will cease
on that day.”
Parties holding bonds called by this
circular can obtain immediate pay
ment, with interest to date of pre
sentation, by requesting the same in
the letter forwarding the bonds for
redemption.

“voluntary bond call” or the circular
