While we earnestly favor and deiunud a reduction in the onerous tariff duties, and that the burdon of such taxation he tixfd upon the luxuries, and not upon the necessities of life?and then only a sufficient revenue he levied for the maintenance of our Government economically administered, we hold that a matter of e<|Uid and paramount importance for the relief and prosperity ol'our pe rnio is an increase in our currency, aud that our Uovornnioni issue its money direct to the people ot n low rate of interest and upon such solvjyit eccurity as they can furnish. Third. Wo seo with displeasure nut] ap prehension that the monoy-chaugeis of Wall street have invaded the sacred temple ol Democracy, and that they will try und forc< upon cur party a candidate representing no the wishes and wellbeiug of our people, hul their own selfish interest.

We therefore enter our solemn protest against the nomination of Grovei Cleveland or any other cauuidrtic kuowu 01 believed to be aeloctod in the iuterest of and at the dictation of Waii street, but we de rnund as our slatidard hearer a man for tlx people and with the people, and who will serve the people ami net any s'AcS or faction Fifth. We shall look upon the notninaiioi of cx-l'rcsidont Cleveland, if forced upor our party by the Chicago convention, as > it prostitution of the principles of Democracy ne a repudiation of the demands of tlx Farmers' Alliance which embody the trui principlosof Democracy, and a surrender o the rights of the people to the tiuaucia kings of the country.

At 8 o'clock this morning fifty armed men from Tullaboma went into Manchester and proceeded straight to the jail. They forced an entrance, and in a very few minutes Kvarett was swinging from the igilyoad bridge.
