committee on resolutions completed
its preparation of the plat torin at
12.35 p. m., to-day.
Senator fairbank, (mairmull of!
the Committee, immediately left the :
Hotel Walton, when' it had been
pitt in-?hap , for the Convention ;
Hall.
Following is a text ol' the docu
ment :
The Republicans ol" the Hulled
States, through their chosen repre
sentatives, met in convention, look
ing back upon an unsurpassed record
of achievement and looking forward
into a groat Held ol' duly and oppor
tunity, and appealing lo the judg
ment of their cou ut ry men, make
these declarations :
Tiie expectation in which tho
American people turned hom thc
Democratic part)', iii power four
years ago, to tho Republican Chief
Magistrate and Republican Congress
has been met and satisfied. When
the pimple then assembled at tin
polls after a tenn of Democratic
legislation and administration, busi
ness was dead, industry paralyzed
and the national credit disastrously
impaired. The country's capital
was hidden away and ils labor dis
tressed ami unemployed. The
Democrats had no other plan with
which to improve the ruinous con
ditions, which they had themselves
produced, than to coin silver at the
ratio of 10 to 1. The Republican I
party denouncing this plan as sure
to produce conditions even worse
than those from which relief was
sought, promised to restore pros
perity by means ol' two legislative
measures-a protective tariff and a
law making gold a standard ol'
value. The people bj great majori
ties issued to the Republican party a
commission to enact these laws.
This commission has been exe
cuted and thc Republican promise is
redeemed. Prosperity, more general
ami moro abundant than we have
ever known, has followed these en
actments. There is m> longer con
troversy as lo the value ol" any gov
ernment obligations. IC very Atneri
CAM dollar is a gold dollar or its as
sured equivalent, and ils American
credit stands higher '.han that of any
nation. Capital is fully employed
and everywhere labor is prolitably
occupied. No single fact can more
strikingly toll tho story of what Re
publican government means to tho
country than this-that while during
the whole period of one hundred and
seven years from 1790 to l*!?7, there
way au excess of exports over im
ports of only $08.1,028,-100, there lias
been in the short three years of thc
present Republican administration
and excess ol' exports over imports
in the enormous sum of * I, Ho,?!J7,
001, and while tho American people,
sustained by this Republican legis
lation, have been achieving these
splendid triumphs in their business
and commerce, they have conducted

liberty and humanity. No thought
of national aggrandizement tarnished
the high purpose with which Ameri

WI- endorse tho administration of
William McKinley. Its acts have
boon established in wisdom and
in patriotism, and ,-.t homo and
abroad it has distinctly eleva
ted and extended the influence
of tho American nation. Walking
untried pallis and facing unforeseen
responsibilities, President McKinley
has been in every situation tho true
American patriot and the upright
statesman, clear of vision, strong in
judgment, linn in action, always in
spiring and deserving tho confidence,
of his countrymen.
In asking the American people
lo endorse this Republican record
and to renew their commission to
tho Republican party we remind
them of thc tact that the menace to
their prosperity has always resided
in Democratic principles and no less
in the general capacity of the D?mo
cratie party to conduct public affairs.
Tiie prime essential of business pros
perity is public conlidenco in thc
gund sense of the problem of ad
ministration and legislation. That
eonlidence the Democratic, party has
never earned, lt is hopelessly inade
quate, and the country's prosperity
with Democratic successes at the
polls halls and ceases.
We renew our allegiance to the
principle ot thc gold standard and

Our present dependence upon
foreign shipping for nine-tenths of
our foreign carrying trade is a great
loss to tho industry of this country,
lt is also a serious danger to our
trade, for its sudd a withdrawal in
thc event of European war would
seriously cripple our expanding
foreign commerce.
Tho national defense and naval
efiioiency o? this country moreover
supply a compelling reason for legis
lation which will enable us to recover
our former place among thc trade
carrying fleets of the world.
The nation owes a debt of pro
found gratitude to thc soldiers and
sailors who have fought its battles,
and it is the government's duty, to
provide for tho survivors and widows
and orphans of those who fell in the
country's wars. The pension laws
founded on this just sentiment should
bc liberal and liberally administered
and preference should be given in
thc employment of public, servants
to soldiers and sailors or to their
widows and orphans.
Wc recommend the policy of the
Republican party in maintaining the
efllcicnoy of tho civil service. The
administration has aided wisely in
its efforts to secure for public service
in Cuba, Porto liico, Hawaii and the
Philippine Islands only those whoso
fitness has been determined by train
ing and experience. Wo believe
that the employment in the public
service in those territories should bo
confined as far as possible to their
inhabitants.

We commend thc part taken by

our steadfast adherence to the policy
announced in the Monroe doctrine.
The provisions of The Hague con

President McKinley tendered his
friendly offices in tho interest of

South African Kepublic. While the
American government must continue
the policy pres,'l ibed by Washington,

That Mr. A. C. Jones has as much
right as any man in the Stale to bo a|
candidate for Hie United States Sen
ate, we do not wish to question. Pos
sibly he has some fitness for the posi
tion. Of that wc have no infor
mation. In tho absence of other
lights we can only assume that he is
a candidate for the Senate in the
hope that ho will poll the vote that
went to Featherstone two years ago,
or that ho will derive nd vantage
from tho candidacy of Colonel Hoyt.
If this is Mr. Jones's idea, wo think
ho may as well step down mid out
without subjecting himself to further
trouble or expense. Prohibition is
not a Federal issue just now. It is
merely a State issue. Senator Tillman
is not an ideal representative in the
United States Senate probably, but he
is a very able one-in fact tho ablest
in sight-and no matter how bitterly
ho may have been opposed in limes
past as a candidate for Governor <>f
South Carolina, there are only n
small number of voters in the State
who would wish htm turned ont. of
his present position. I.cave the
race between Tillman and .Iones,
and eliminate all of Tillman's for
mer supporters-the old reform
party-and Tillman would win two
lo one. We believe Tillman would
win in a primary participated in by
Prohibiliniiislsulonc. And bc ought
to win. For South Carolina to take
Lim out of tho United States Sen
ate alibis time would be positively
idiotic. Looking at the matter
from this Standpoint, WO are unable
to sec any more reason in thc
candidacy of Mr. Jones, than we
wei able to sec in the candidacy of
Mr. C. Walt Whitman. Hut go on

THE SOUTH AND EXPANSION.
Sensible, Statesmanlike) Discussion ol a
Groat Quostion.
[Souator Mol.nuriu in Leslie's Wookly.]
"For tlio futuro, national expan
sion is the hope of tho South. Her
industrial developments will bc hind
ered and tinnily circumscribed with
out it. With tho now markets it
will create and thc power it will givo
her in all industrial pursuits, it
means the enrichment of tho South
and the nation. The peoplo of tho
South cannot now fully realizo tho
industrial progress made in that sec
tion in thc last two decades, nor
properly np precinto tho transcend
ant advantages to grow out of ex
pansion. The transition from a
condition of business paralysis, pro
duced hy a disastrous war and re
construction trials, to ono of mar
velous industrial activity and devel
opment, has been so sudden and un
expected that it really seems to them
a mirage. When they fully awake
to the true situation and realizo the
wonderful advantage, made and tho
industrial possibilities of the South,
they will bo able to see what tho
South will gain by national expan
sion.
"What is the true condition of the
South, and what is necessary for its
continued improvement? She has
a monopoly of the agricultural staple
of cotton, which is the world wide
influence. No other country has
ever had such a monopoly of any
staple. In 1898 the cotton crop was
11,274,890 bales. The cotton grow
ing region measures 560,000 square
miles. With tho proper demand and
other favorable conditions, th ore are
colton soils enough in the South to
produce 11)0,000,000 bales. There
are enough horses and mules on the
farms ol* the cotton growing Stales
to-day lo make :i crop of 00,000,000
bah?. There are l,f>00,000,000 peo
ple in the world. Possibly 7,000,00(1
are interested in the growing, hand
ling and manufacturing of cotton,
willi about 1,000,000 more interested
in its sale. The balance of the human
family are consumers. In addition
to this, there are $40,000,000 investee
in oil mills, an industry still in its in
fancy. There is no bi-product il
the world whose possibilities com
pare with those of colton seed.
"The South is making rapid stridei
in thc manufacture of raw cotton
In issn she had 0G7,000 spindles
representing a capital of $21,000,000
Today she has over 5,000,001
spindles and more than $125,000,
000 invested in cotton mills. Then
are mills now under constructioi
representing about ^"?0,000,000 mon
With thc same rate of increase fo
the next twenty years (and it wi!
be accelerated), tho South will hav
over Lif),000,000 spindles, represent
mg over ?(iOO,OO0,000 invested. Ii
l^U'.l her mills consumed abou
1,400,000 hales of cotton. In 192
they will consume 7,000,000 bale
With tho advantages of climate
cheaper labor, coal and other sup
plies, she can compete with th
world in furnishing cheap collo
goods.
"The demand for these goods i
sure to grow with civilization. Noi
only about half tho people in th
world are supplied with cotton good
made by modern machinery. Th
production of manufactured goods i
now nearly double the amount, neeei
Bary for our population. Now mai
kids must be found for this surplu
which will continue to increase. I
thc Kant ia a population of tee m in
millions Heeding our cotton good
which are so well suited to thc ol
mate and people. Our Southe)
manufacturers have already reach?
this market, and with an increase
1 our present trade and the openii
of new markets, we can fi ii il au OU
let for all our surplus products. Tl
Orient furnishes the only unexplori
timi undeveloped market in tl
world. The field of trade ever
where has been occupied. What
dazzling picture it. is to fancy tl
South raising 50,000,000 bales of o<
ton and manufacturing half of it tu
realizing the rich rewards of disposil
of the products in the K?st.
The South has a workable C<
Held of -17,000 sqtiaro miles, wito
development of only about 1,0
square miles. The output al pr<
ct is only about lt),000,000 lol
Willi the entire area developed, t
i amount of coal produced would
hundreds of millions of tons. Wh
the home demand is supplied, wi
an inviting prospect lucre will be
the exportation of this surplus CC
''Thc iron industry in thc South i>
the infancy of its dovclopmc
Last year there were 2,500,000 ti
i of pig iron produced. With t
vast iron domain almost uttdovolop
no one can conceive of tho jiossi
extent of its production. Markets
will bo needed for this surplus, and
tiloso can only bo found in other
countries.
"Alabama coko has gono to Japan,
and moro of it would havo gone, but
the homo demand exceeds tho supply.
So with tho oxport of iron. The
Richmond Locomotive works aro
competing with tho world in export
ing locomotivos, and a Maryland
stool company has hoon furnishing
steel rails for tho Siberian railroad.
"Tho South po.-'sessos one-half of tho
standing timber of tho United States.
Last year it produced 11,000,000,000
feet of lumber. If over there is a
surplus over homo demand, thou
new markets to which it could bo
exported will bc needed.
"With the. staphs raw materials of
cotton, coal, iron ore and timber, tho
production of which will in tho near
future far exceed the homo demand,
tho South will need new markets.
Nothing can furnish these but na
tional expansion. The acquisition
of the Philippines has opened up
opportunities for creating and pre
serving trade in the Bast. Nowhere
can tho samo advantages he found.
If there is no national expansion,
which necessarily includes and leads
to commercial expansion, the South
will reach her utmost limit in indus
trial development when tho home
demand is supplied, and this means
tho curtailment of her production of
the raw and manufactured materials
and tho vanishing of her splendid
possibilities.
"To oppose national expansion is
for the Southern people to oppose
further industrial development, to op
pose the opening of new markets for
their surplus products, und to invito
the loss of millions of dollars to the
producers and manufacturers of raw
staple materials. The South is capa
ble of infinite expansion from tho fer
tility of her soil and her undeveloped
resources and manufacturing indus
tries in tho production of what the
entire world needs. This expansion
can only lie hindered or prevented
by an unwise opposition to tho policy
of national expension. The South
has everything to gain and nothing
to lose hy favoring it."

Too Mitch Politics.
Mr. W. H. Wallace, who has just
become editor of the Greenville News,
will novor say anything truer than
this :
There is entirely too much politics
in South Carolina, anti there are too
many politicians. Our people set
too much store hy "issues" and place
too high a value on "views." anti too
small a value on tho character and
capacity of those who aspire to pub
lic oflico. We are too much con
cerned about measures and too little
about men. Therefore shallow anti
unprincipled demagogues who can
catch tho popular breeze and trim
their sails accordingly, who often
have no real opinion of their own,
and are mentally incapable of having
any, get into high and responsible
places, while mon of intellect and
character, however patriotic and
however well equipped for public
service, arc rejected because they
are too honest, and brave to profess
allegiance to some political vagary
that has captured the popular favor
for the moment. The consequence
is that South Carolina is n (ti ic tod
with many officers of indifferent
character and mean ability, and the
demagogue is preferred to tho states
man.

fiding people-foisted upon them for
political power by one who promised

The Prohibitionists are acting
wisely and well. Their steering
committee is composed of as truo
Democrats and nohle citizens as live
in South ( 'anilina. They are making
an issue which will bo approved by
Democrats. They are selecting men
lo represent them who are clean.
They are losing no sloop on account
of the yelps ami whines of coat-tail
swingers. How supremely and i ii -
offahly contemptible is the great

The Prohibitionists' are honorable
and honored citizens of the State,
and their fight is for the right as
they believe and understand, and as
we believe and Understand.-Edge
