party principles,

practical politicians give it, for they
nearly always confound it with poli
cy. Yet the foundation of all great
part ies is to be" found in some great
principles, and the party cannot bo
held together by the utmost politi
cal craft except by adherence to its
principles. They are. in fact, a rule
of action or the basis of a system of
politics, and, whether true or not,
must bo held by those who under
take to act together politically.
They may not be expressed in plat
forms; the voters may not be able
to formulate or give them cxpres-
siou, but they exist and have a great
er controlling influence over the re
sults of elections than the policies of
unscrupulous leaders, who start out
to catch votes without regard to
principles.
The differences b tween the Dem
ocratic and liepublieau parties are
based up. m fundamental principles,
which differences originated during
the organization of the government.
The two parties have not always
held their present nam?, but thev j
; have existed from the beginning.
1 ' and a change of name only leads to a
little temporary confusion, the vo
ters soon gravitating to that party
which represents their principles.
These differences relate to the na
ture of the union as originally form

crats or Republicans according to
their views upon these subjects, and
the treatment of social, economical
and fmancial subjects by both par
ties is almost unconsciously based
upon the bearing of their principles
upon a particular subject.
A policy, more or less ephemeral,
is very different from a principle.
Policies may change, but principles
are eternal. The politicians who talk
most freely about principles usually
pay very little regard to them except
as they may serve their purpose,
but they have great regard for poli
ce. Is it wise at this time to take
decisive ground 0:1 a present issue?:
Can we win more votes by advoca-:
ting or opposing a proposed meas-j
ure? These are the questions that
the more politician asks himself, j
and. though he may sometimes gain j
an advantage by following policies j
rather than principles, he is some- j
times shown to be singularly short- j
sighted because he has not taken in-j
to account the almost unconscious
adherence of the mass of voters to j
principle. The so-called ''tidal j
waves" which sometimes sweep the
country to the surprise of the poll- j
ticians are not. as a rule, mere aeci-
dents, or due to the whims of voters, j
I They generally result from a depart- j
i ure from principle by the leaders or
; conventions of a party, the voters j
remaining steadfast. This would be
' more manifest than it is except fori
! the fact that all men are inclined to j

I'liiiikctt Says Thai in Days of Yore This
Was Not Necessary.
Thread in a paper the other day
that a church is to be put on wheels
and rolled about the country for the
benefit of catching the bicycle riders.
This is another departure to per
suade folks into the church. It
means something perhaps it means
an acknowledgement that all the de
partures of late days have been a
failure and that the church is grow
ing weaker in its inlhience and be
ing overshadowed by other things.
Anyhow, you did not use to have to
moe a church around on wheels to
get a congregation, nor you did not
have to oiler premiums to get young
people to church, nor work any
schemes in elauvh matters. Til the--
days liie churcn was the great thing
greater than all else and young
people were taught that it was a
most glorious privilege to visit them,
and they looked up to the preachers
and to the members as better than
common folks and there was a striv
ing to arrive at such perfection. The
vilest sinners had a reverence for
churches and for church people and
rowdies respected the old preacher's
presence like the' did the presence
of women.
Hoys and girls in my young da'S
walked six and seven miles to church
and were glad of the privilege. It
would be all right for the bicycle ri
ders who go in droves along theemm
try roads every Sabbath day now to
meet a crowd of old-time country
people on their way to church just
as they used to appear. No doubt j
the bicyclists would stop and guy
them or turn round and follow them .
as great curiosities. The old-timers
not only walked great distances to
get to church, but if you could meet
them in the road you would tind them
barefooted shoes off and '"hitting
the grit" for dear life that they might ;
be in time to catch every word and
hear every song. 1 ou need not
think that the boys were not accom
panied by their pretty sweethearts,
for the girls went and walked anil
carried their Sunday shoes just the
same as the boys. These old-timers
would have a place to stop at the
spring branch close by the church
and there they would wash their
feet, put on their home-knit stock
ings and Sunday shoes and walk into
church as proud as queens and fully
eons'-ioiis that thev had
lone noth-
i mg to desecrate tne rsaooatn oa .
the Sabbath da v.
Them old-timers would" ve thought
mighty little of these crowus who
romp around over the" country roads
every Sunday on bicycles, and it
would sound mighty strange to hear
that a church was to be put on
! wheels to catch them out on the
j roads. It strikes me and it strikes
i Drown that instead of starting up
i new churches we had better get back
1 to old-time ways. There is somo-
thing wrong somewhere, and if it is
not corrected this will soon be aland
! of sin and infidelity. People say
! that Drown and I are wrong; that
j folks are better and times are better 1
i than they ueed to be. The most of
folks thiiik that we have outuved
i our time, are old fogies and got no
I sense, and sometimes I am nearly
' readv to agree, but when we hear
j such propositions as building a
' church on wheels just for the catch
i ing of these Sabbath breakers, it
j strikes us that somebody else is fool-
ish and not us.
I I do not know who is responsible
! forthecareless feelingabout churches
that makes it necessary to study one Sunday when one of the old-time
schemes to have the young' people churches was filled with these steel
attend, but I do know that it was j skirts, the old preacher saw a cloud
not once so. I have seen the day j a-rising and he made it the opportu
when it was the pride of old and njty to hoop up the fashion. "These
young to go to church the married
and the unmarried. Then young
mothers went, and it was a matter
of pride to carry the babe, and if
there happened to be twins both
were carried in someway, and the
! mother with twins was just twice as
proud as the mother with one. The
young mothers of this day and time
are almost forbidden to carry their
I babies to church. It is not fashion-j
I able in these days, and so the babe
! is left at home with some careless :

services like she could with her babe

the mothers are getting so they do
not wish to go to church, or else they
think that babes are a nuisance and
rather have none, and if the truth
i was known I expect a lots of babes
have wished they had never been . preachers that there is too much de

girls lay upon the same pallets at
these old churches; side by side they
started out in life, and then when a
little larger they sit on the benches
together, played under the trees to
gether and after a while they mar
ried each other and brought mo'V

were dear and nothing on wheels
could ever win the heart or teach
the lessons taught in these old
churches.
Uesides these old churches used to
fill the measure for all charitable
purposes. If a brother in the church
got sick his crop was worked they
saw to Ids needs and attended to his
family. This was no trouble in those
days. On the contrary it was a
pleasure, liich and poor joined and
made the working of a sick maiv's
crop a frolic. Every little detail was
seen to such as hauling wood, etc.
till, as I have said before and say
now, that there was no poverty in
the South under such condition
not as we understand poverty at this
time. You never heard of a tramp
in Ceorgia till since the war. And
there was no talk of dynamiting nor
anarchism nor any others isms. I
n0ver knew one neighbor to sell an
other seed potatoes nor cotton seed
nor any other seed till since the war,
and no man would think of charging ,

Demoeratic Stale riatfurm.
Whereas, the Democratic party
had its birth in Mr. Jefferson's great
contest against the centralization of
the powers of the Federal govern
ment, and in behalf of the strict con
struction of the Federal Constitution
embodied in Iho tenth amendment
thereto, in which all powers not del
egated to it were expressly reserved
to the Slates, respectively, or to the
people; and whereas, the Republican
party has ever been the party of cen
tralization, resolved
1. That we appeal to the people
to observe this fundamental differ
ence between the Democratic party
and its traditional enemy in respect
to the powers of the central govern
ment. 2. That the Constitution of the
Unbr-d States recognizes both gold
and silver as the primary or redemp
tion money of these States, and that,
in the words of the National Demo
cratic platform of "We be
lieve in honest money, the gold and
silver coinage of the Constitution,
and a circulating medium converti
ble into such money without loss."
.'!. We favor, independently of
other nations, the free and unlimited
coinage, of silver and gold, without
discrimination against either, at the
present legal ratio of 1( to 1, and
we condemn the system which in a
time of peace, with millions of silver
bullion lying idle in the Treasury,
has forced the government within
the short period of t wo years to is
sue $21i,0oo,0(ii of bonds.
1. We condemn the action of the
Secretary of the Treasury in follow
ing the Republican precedent of pay
ing the obligations of the Govern
ment in gold which were specifically
made payable in coin.
We hereby instruct our dele-
gates to the National convention,
both as to platform and candidate;
to advocate and vote as a unit, un-
tlinchingly and at all hazards, for the
restoration of silver, and otherwise
in obedience to the letter and spirit
of the principles herein enunciated.
We further instruct our delegates
State and district, to use all their
efforts to abrogate the two-thirds
rule, if necessary to secure the nom-
i ination of a candidate in complete,
in hearty, and in known accord with
the principles herein enunciated by
us.
!. We warn the people against
the threatened combined evils of the
gold standard and the McKinley
Tariff. These twin monsters go
hand in hand in their mission of de-
struction, drawing the very susten -
aneo from the body of the people,
and concentrating all wealth and
power in the hands of a few.
7. We denounce the MeKinlo
'constitutional tariff for revenue only,
1 8. We fav,.r the repeal of the un-
; constitutional tax often per cent. 011
Slate banks of issue
1'. We declare ourselves in favor
of a graduated income tax in order
that wealth may bear its due pro
portion of the burden of supporting
the government, and we favor an
immediate amendment of the Con
stitution of the United States au
thorizing its levy and collection in
express terms, leaving nothing for
judicial construction.
10. We are unalterably opposed
to legislation by which monopolies
aiul trusts are created and fostered.
We insist upon the faithful execu
tion of the existing laws against the
same, and uoon such further legisla
tion as may be necessary for their
suppression.
11. We point with pride to the
economic and stainless administra
tion of the State government when
ever Democracy lias been in power.
12. We favor the enactment of
such an election law as will secure
the purity of the ballot, and for the
maintenance and protection of the
right of suffrage to all the citizens of
the State.
1.5. Welavorttie continuance ot
the system of public education cs
tablishcd by the Democratic party,
and pledge ourselves to its increased
efficiency as the condition of the
people and public revenues niay
justify.
1 1. We favor the prompt, impar
tial and just administration of the
criminal law of the State, and point
with pride to the fact that a Demo
cratic legislature first enacted a law
