i DISREGARD OF SOlbBJDt PLEDGES.
: The issue in this campaign is the Re
publican record of the last four years.
I It is a very bad record. It is a record
j of wrong-doing, of unfair favoritism in
legislation and of scandalous misconduct I
in administration; a record of reckless
squandering; of the debauchment of the
publie service ; of corruption in office
and in getting office* and of shameful
malpractices in the attempt to retain
power regardless of the popular will.
The Administration and the Filterst
Congress came Into power by plaiu pur
chase. The Republican Party in 1833
ecured its triumph by selling legislation
hort.
Abandoning all that it had professed
md all that its leaders, living aad dead,
sad taught concerning the limitations of
right in tariff legislation, it framed a
platform in Chicago ia which it offered
to monopolists such tariff rates as they
should desire for their enrichment at the
expense of the people, in return for coo,- j
tributions to the campaign fund.
The offer was acceptei. Tue money
was paid, aad With it the notorious em
bezzler and corruptionist, Matthew
Viuay, with his lieutenant, Dudley, w<t?
set to buy the election. When the fun Is
ran low John Wanamaker pure aase 1 art
option oa a Cabinet office by securing ai I
additional contribution or $409,033 j
from the buyers of legislation ?7ou a
margin.
When the Congress thus elected came
together the Republican majority was
too narrow and uncertain to do the work J
it had promised. It could not deliver
the legislative goods it had sold to mon*
opo?sts without resort to further un
fairness and wrong. It proceeded to un-, I
seat members of the minority whom the j
people had elected and to seat Republi?
cans whom the people had refused to
elect, and not a man in all the majority
was brave or honest enough to raise a
voice ia protest.
When the time came for debate the
majority decided not to permit debate,
lest the truth be made plain to the peo
^ pie. %
The rules of the House were revolu
tionized. A dictator of peculiarly arbi?
trary will was placed in the chair who1
suppressed discussion, overrode ail coa-:
siderations of fairness, channel the; j
House from a deliberative body into a; j
mere machine for recording his d?ter
mination, and thus enactei the measures
?f monopoly which the party had been
paid in advance to pass.
In two short years this Congress squan- I
dared an enormous surplus, reduced the;
treasury to the sorest straits, laid heavyf
burdens upon the people and upon in
dustry and made a determined, thoughj J
fortunately a fruitless, effort to rob thej
several States of the right of free elec-j
tiens in order to secure for the Republi-| i
can Party a longer lease of power. Itfj
sought to buy votes for the future by
pension legislation of the most reckless
and unjust character, whose shadow;
hangs like a pall over the finances of the
country and must embarrass its prosper
ity for a generation to come.
The Administration thus elected de
livered to Wanamaker the Cabinet office!
he had bought, p?t Tanner into the Pen-J
sioa Office, with hi3 exultant exclama?
tion, "God help the surplus 1" not upon!
his lips, and when his scandalous mis
conduct made his removal a necessity,
put Rium there instead, to work still;
larger mischief iu less vociferous fasbv |
ion, aad to fill the office with specula-:
tiens, peculations and scindais so shame-1
ful that even the Reed Congress could ?
not be dragooned mto palliating them.
And, in spite of further and more fli
grant exposure, Raum is in office still!
The Administration came into po ^er
protesting most solemnly its purpose to
enforce the Civil Service law ia letter'
and spirit, and to extend its scope and
Influence. It straightway set Clarksoa I
It work to behead postmasters at a rate
wholly unprecedented. The President
openly farmei out the Federal offices as
spoils to such bosses as Quay and Platt, J
and quartered his own relatives and
partners and chums upon the public ser
vice. When the Civil Service Commis
sion discovered the most flagrant an i
shameless abuses in Baltimore and urged
the removal of numbers of persons by
name for proved misconduct amounting
to criminality?misconduct perpetrated
In the name and on behalf of the Ad
ministration?the whole matter was
jauntily put aside by Wanamaker, aad
the President m no way interfered to re
deem his pledge or to free himself from
the shame of it all.
Dudief was one of the agents in the
purchase of Mr. Harrison's election, and
he was found out. Mr. Harrison has
since refused to hold intimate personal
relations with the "Slocks of Five'*
statesman, but through his Attorney
General and former law partner he has
interfered with the administration o:
justice in Dudley's case, has caused a
judge upon the beach to shield aad pro
tect crime, and has since rewarded that
judge for his corrupt subserviency by
elevating him to a higher judicial posi
tion.
And within these later months the
country has seen the President organize
the Civil Service into a political mi
chine, and with it compel his own
nomination for a second term.
From the very beginning Mr. Har
rison has used the appointing power as a
means of securing a second term for
himself. He resorted at the outset to a
device justly denounced bj the eider
President of his name as wrong ami
dangerous. He muzzled the ores? of
his own party so far as criticism of hi-;
administration was concerned. He made
sure of the support of the prominens
Republican newspapers for all hn
ambitions by putting their editors under
obligations to himself for high office,
carrying with it pecuniary rewards,
Dohticial advantages or social distinc
tion, according to the knowa need and
desire of each of his beneSciaries.
In certain directions he filled the
foreign service with incapable men to
oblige unworthy interests. He seat
Mizner to Central America, and kept:
him there long after the country had
given expression to its disgust and
humiliation with the conduct of an
American Minister who, in the interest
of a speculative syndicate, sacrificed the
honor of the Nation and the flag.
He seat E/aa aad AlcCreery to Chile,
with results grievously hurtful both to
the good name and to the commercial
interests of the country.
To Wanamaker he has adde 1 Elkins as
a Cabinet officer?Eikins, a political
adventurer and speculator, who htl
grown rich out of politics without hav
ing won resoect enough anywhere to
make his name suggestive even of p^ssi
bilttie3 in connection with honorable of
fice. He mile Porter the Superinten
dent of the Census, knowing him to be
an already discredited manipulator of
statistics, a foreign adventurer destitute
ot convictions and in search of a market
for his peculiar abilities, a man at that
very time conducting business as a vul
gar wine tout ia combination with pili
tics and ready to placard hU advertise*
men&in the fixecijU?? &ar#ion i$?elf,
Se permitted thia nian to falsify the cen
sus of great States by way of robbing
them of their just representation and
thus increasing the chances df that
party's success to whose servies he had
hired himself.
It is a sad And shameful story of
pledges broken; of fiscal legislation bar
tered for campaign funds; of ejections
secured by the purchase ot voters; of
high office m lie the subject of vulgar
traffic; of the public service* including
tho mo3t honorable places, prostituted to
the promotion of the President's personal
ambitions; of a ?oilrt converted into a
sanctuary for the protection of a scoun
drel; of judicial subserviency rewarded
with high judicial place; of debate sup
pressed iu Congress I of a surplus squan
dered, and of tae enormous increase of
the people's tax burdens that the pro
ceeds might flow into the colers of
favored monopolists willing to share
their spoil with the political organization
that made its collection possible;.
It is a grievous indictment that ?3 here
made, but it is perfectly true and it
covers but a part of the truth. Th3
specidcations will corns later in the
course of these letters; The facts will
be given upon which every accusation
rests* Tae whole record will bo laid
bare?that record whiei the people by
their votes in Xovem'oer are to approve
or condemn*
And this is not a mere recalling of
old errors, a recurrence to offenses re
pented of. Tue courses that Oaiem
this Administration have been continuous*
Kaum is still at the head of the Pension
Bureau, ?ad that bureau is not reformed
or paririel. Marshall Airey stiil holds
office in Baltimore? notwithstanding
Commissioner Roosevelt's report a3 to
his organization of the postoffi:3 and
Custom House emoloye? the:3 into a
band of political ru3hn3, his use of
theai to carry primaries in the Adminis
trations interest by wholesale cheating
and by actual physical violence? m which
he personally participated* Neither he
nor Postmaster Johnson nor any of their
subordinates have been removed, though
their conduct was fully set forth aud
their removal strongly urged by Mr.
Roosevelt, a Republican member of tae
Civil Service Commission; though some
of them, according to 3lr. Roosevelt's
report, deliberately testidei to lies;
though, many of them openly confessed
to cheating; though all of thena set at
naught the law against political assess
ments, and though they all professed
with more or less of candor the creed of
lying, cheating and ballot-box stuffing
which the testimony showed that they
had practiced.
These men who, as one of them put it
in his testimony, believe "in doiug any-*
thing to win," are still in office by grace
of Mr. Wanamaker's favor and Mr.
Harrison's neglect of duty. Aud they
still constitute the Administration ma
chine in Baltimore and Maryland politics. <
In brief, the Administration is what it
has been. It profits still by the practices i
for which honest men in both parties 1
have condemned it in the past, it pro- ]
tects its scoundrels and its haw-breaxers.
It keeps them in office. It uses them in <
politics. It sanctions their creeds and
their performances. It sent the.n and
such as them to Minneapolis to nominate (
Mr. Harrison lor a second term in spite
of any desire the Republican Party might i
have for some other candidate.
It stiil looks to the monopolies it has ?
fostered fer the money wita which to ^
carry the ?lection. In their behalf it t
has not only made laws, but has neglected (
and refused to enforce such laws as there (
are on the statute books adverse to them.
The coal conspiracy has been formed <
during this Administration. Without le i
or hindrance it has levied a tribute upon
the people in face of the anti-Trust iaw. !
That law makes it the imperative duty 1
of the Attorney-General, through the
District Attorneys, to bring criminal !
prosecutions against all ?.he conspirators;
but no District Attorney has moved, and
the Attorney-General weakly protests
that he has no information touching the '
conspiracy. :
In the interest of good government it
is necessary to chastise official miscon- .
duct by defeat. The men and the party j
now in power must be sent into retire- (
ment for the public good. Our public t
life is in need of disinfection. It is time t
to restore legislation to its proper service 1
of all the people. [
Toe simple facts of these four years' |
history constitute the most conclusive (
reasons for refusing to intrust this Ad- 1
ministration or the party it represents t
with a further lease of poAer.?Ne?v |

A KENTUCKY TRAGEDY.
A Pitched Battle in which Three Men t
Lose Their Lives.
A Bris'ol, Term., dispatch says: Knox
county, K ntucky, near Letcher and '
Floyd, is b; iog scoured by < fficers of the c
law who are ou the hunt of Frank John- ]
son and party, who killed three men la*t i
Monday niglu. The crime wa's brought 1
about by a beautiful young lady, at ]
least so the story goes. I
JohnsoD, a reckless young man, fell in ]
love with tbe attractive daughter of 1
James Warwick, a well-known citizen of (
tbf-.t county. He objected to the young 1
man paying homage to his daughter, and <
so informed them both, though Johnson
did not stop his visitations to the place. ,
Finally the two young people became I
engaged,
On the night of the tradegy the young
man went to the home of his fi-tnee.; i
and knocked for admittance. He was 3
met by the irate father who shut the ]
door in his face as soon as he learne i j
who the visitor waa. Johnson became |
enraged at this cruel treatment and pro- ;
ceeded to the homes of some of his com
panions where he related the circum
stances. In a ehort time he returned
accompmied by half a dozen of them, all ]
well armed. They approached the
hou-e an el ordered the lather out. He
anticipated what was up aud summoned
his son Tim and a laborer to hi- aid.
A regular pitched battle ensued. Doz ns
of ?hots were fired by both sides. When

OH TRIAL FOR TREASON.
fte f?omesteafl Strikers Arraipofi Be
fore (Met Justice Faiton
Cfcirfe to the Grand Jury As to What
Constitutes Treason,
Tha unusiUl spectacle of the chief
justice of the supreme court of the state
sitting as judge in a court of over and
.terminerot the county in a state was wit
nessed by a la'ge crowd in the criminal
court room at Pittsburg, Penn., Mond iy
morning when Chief Justice Paxton
charged the grand jury as to what con
stituted treason against the state in the
cases against members of the llomstead
striker's advisory club. Upon the bench
sat Chief Justices Stowe, McCluug, Por
ter and ?ennedy, while in the clerk's
portion sat Judge Single. The room
was Crowded almost to suffocation.
When the court opened Judge Kenne
dy turned to the grand jury and said
that the charges of treas <n having been
made against certain persons it seemed
right for the county court to request the
highest judicial officer of the stae to de
iver the charge. After detailing the
cauSes leading tip to the Mometlead
strike, Judge Paxton said:
uibe mutual right of parties to a con;
tract in reg.rd to wages and the charac
ter of employment, whether by the piece
or by the day, whether for ten hours or
less, is as fixed as any i ther right which
we enjoy under the Constitution and laws
of this state. It is a right which belongs
to every citizen, laborer or capit dist. and
it is the duty of the state to protect them
in the enjoyment of it."
Coming up to the formation of the ad
visory committee and the part taken by
it in the strike, he said:
"It is alleged that the advisoty com
mit'ee did more than to induce others
not to accept employment from the com^
p-my, that it allowed no persons to enter
the mill of the Carnegie Steel company,
jind even peimittcd no strangers to enter
he town of Homestead without its per>
mission; that it arranged an organiza
tion of a military character consisting of
three divisions, with commanders, cap
tains, etc., the captains to report to the
division captains and the latter to report
to the advisory committee.*'
He then detailed how the authority of
i he sheriff had been defied, the arrival of
the Pinker tons, the riot following and
anally the mobilization of the s'ate
ops, adding: ''We can have some
?vmpathy with those driven to despera
lion by hunger, as in the d-ns of the
French revolution, but we can have none
f?r men receiving exceptionally high
wages in resisting the law and resorting
;o bloodshed in the asse rtion of imaginary
rights and entailing such a vast expense
upon the taxpayers of tbe common
wealth. It was not a cry for bread to
leed their famishing lips, resulting in sud
den outrage with good provocation?it is
dberate attempt by men without author
ity to control others in the enjoyment of
their rights. The men hi d the right to
refuso to work and persuade others to
join them, but them meat they attempt
ed to control the works and resorted to
n'oleuce, they placed themselves out side
:he pale of the law. If we were to con
ned i the doctrines that the employe may
iic:ate to his employer, the terms of his
;mployment and upon the refus d of the
atter to accede to them to take po3ses
lioiofhis property and drive others
iway who were willing to work, we
would have an anarchy. No business
sould be conducted upon such a basis;
;hat when once countenanced would be
attended to every industry."
The justice then de fined as treason the
organization of a large number of men
n the common purpose to dety the law,
esistits officers and to deprive any por
:ion of their fellow citizens of their rights
jnder the constitution and laws. It is a
>tate of war, said he, when a bu-dness
j'aot has to be surrounded by the army
A the state to protect it from unlawful
violence at the hands of i"s former em
ployes. Every member of such assorted
government whether it be by an adviso
ry committee or by whatever name it
s called, who has participated in such
jsurpation, who has gained in the com
non purpose of resistance to the
aw and the denial of right to other
dtizens has committed treason against
he state. If you find from the evidence
hat the defendants have, or any of them
ias, committed, participated and aided
n any of the acts which I have defined
:o you as constituting the offense of
treason it will be your sworn duty to
?nd a true bill against the party or par
ies so offending. We have reached a
Doint in the history of the state where
:hero are but two roads for us to pursue
?one leads to order and good govern
ment, the other leads to anarchy. Oae
reat question which concerns the peo
ple of this country is the enforcement of
he law and the preservation of order."
ALL H.DICTED.
Later dispatches state that at 3 o'clock
Tuesday afternoon the grand jury return

BUSINESS VERY GOOD.
Dnn ? Co., Give an Encouraging Re*
Report for Past TVeefc.
R. G. Dunn & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: The first week of October
shows more activity in spite of the near
approach of the pre.-iaential election
Business is strictly bettet at the south on
account of the improvement in the price
of cotton; more active at the west, with
improved prospects, and only slightly re
tarded at the east. The expected reac
tion from the extremely low price of cot
ton helps business at the south, and al
though wheat fs low in price, it is a lit
tle higher than it was a week ago. In
general; speculation has disturbed legiti
mate trade much less during the past
quattet than is Usual at th s season, aU
though transactions in cotton have been
t xceedingly heavy.
Business is brighter at Baltimore and
the packing trade opens with gteat
promise, While building transactions are
heavy. At Pittsbufg manufactured iron
is quite active and in large demand at
well supported pria s, while business in
glass is fair, but the strike of the coal
miners embarrasses Monongahela. Nearly
all southern cities report a better trade,
though at Little Rock crop prospects are
not considered encouraging.
At Nashville trade is fair, and at Mem
phis improving, and decided improve
ment is noticed at New Orleans, with bet
ter prices for cotton and good collec
tions.
There ate signs in an improvement in
the price of cotton goods and sales of
wool continue heavy. It is not a satis
factory symptom that speculation is
enormousj sales at this city amounting
to 1,239,600 bales last week wi:h an ad^
vance of half a cent in price, yet exports
of cotton ate n?t large, and of all domes
tic products the value exported last week
was onljr $5,483.542 against $9,768,9S9
for the same week last year.
THE tOREIGN TRA?JE.
Considering the gteat increase in the
imports df metchandise, the state of the
foreign trade is hardly encouraging.
While imports are in part of materials
for manufactur *, there is also quite a
noteworthy increase in imports of dutia
ble articles. The treasury continues to ac
cumulate gold, having added to its
stocks $1,500,000 during the past week
and $1'00,000 in silver, but has put into
circulation about $3,000,000 more paper
of various kinds. Although the circu
lation of money decreased in September
there is no indication as yet that the
money markets in any part of the coun
try are insufficiently applied.
Business failures occurring throughout
the couLtry during last week number for
the United States, 184; the correspond

COLUMBUS CELEBATION.
The Grandest Parade Ever Witnessed
in North America.
The military and civil parade at New
York, Wednesday cipped the climax of
the most successful series of consecutive
public demonstrations in the nation's
history. Everything ia this wonderful
week of the Columbian celebration has
progressed in the sliding scale of increas
ing merit.
The fervor, earnestness and universali
ty of religious exercises of that "Twin
Sabbath," Saturday and Suuday, last
were followed by the remarkable
school and college procession of Monday.
That in turn yielded in interest to the
great naval pagement of Tuesday sup
plemented by the demonstration of the
Catholic societies cf New York in the
evening so successful and so startl
ing in its numerical strength.
The assembling movement at the dis
bandment of the forces of the army, navy
and national guard, the organizations ol
the grand army of the republic and of
the various societies participating in th
military pan-de Wednesday morning,
eclipsed rJi preceding events, socially
and collectively. Trie Governors or." the
five great states?New York, New Jer
sey, Pennsylvania, Conneticut and Mass
achseutts?the entire state national guard
of New York, and the powerful provis
ional brigades of Pennsylvania, Connecti
cut and New Jersey; strong forces of the
United ?"tates troops and bluejackets,
reinforced by such a majestic civic pa
rade as only the great cosmopolitan city
of New York can produce, all combined,
to do honor to the occassion.
Among those who viewed the proceed
ings from different points along the route
were Mrs. U. S. Grant, Mrs. Cleveland,
Mrs. George B. McLeiian; Secretaries
Foster of the state and treasury ; Secre
taries Noble and Rusk, Italian Minister,
Baron Fava, who of right h is been a
leading and interesting spectator of the
honor paid his countrymm ; the Turkish
minister and many others.
The parade comprised two thousand
regular marine blue jackets from t^e war
ships, the National Guard of New York,
the National Guards of Pennsylvania,
commanded by Governor Pattison; New
Jeraey, under Governor Abbett; Con
necticut, Governor Bulkeley; governor

COUNTY OFFICERS ARRESTED.
For Failing to Appoint Third Party
Election Managers.
A sensation was created at Montgom
ery, Ala., Monday by the publication in
an afternoon paper of ihe arrest of
Probate Judge Sid T. Frazer and Circuit
Clerk Alex H. Picket, of Cullock coun
ty by United S'ates Deputy Marshals
Haden and Jackson on warrants charg
ing them with alleged violations of the
federal election laws in the appointment
of managers of the November election.
Concerning the arrests Marsha; Walker
deciined to be interviewed, but called
attention to a federal statute which
makes it a criminal offense for any state
officer to fail to perform any duty re
quired of him by the United States or of
any state or territory thereof in any
election in which a delegate or represent
ative in congress is voted for.
The state law alleged to have been vio
lated in this instance is section 325,
which requires the probate judge, clerk
and sheriff to appoint representatives of
different political parties as managers at
state ana federal elections. The affida
vits are said to have been sworn out by
the Kolb men, who had filed a list of
names with the probate judge with the
n quest that he appoint one as a mana
ger at each beat or voting precinct in the
county iu the November election, which
list the judge is said to have ignored.
A lawyer of prominence in the city
Raid that the statute under which these
arrests were made was not intended to
cover this case and argued that there
fore the arrests were illegal and the pris
oners would be discharged when the
cases were cdlcd for trial_t

TRACY'S DISAPPOINTMENT.
The Secretary of Our Nary Oat With
the Carnegies.
A Washington dispatch of Tuesday
says: The navy department has quietly
taken action which shows how aggra
vating is the delay of the Carnegies in
completing their contracts for armor
plate and how false their pretenses that
things an? running satisfactorily at
Homestead. The department's action
consists in transferring the contract for
the armor plates of the cruiser New
York from the Carn'-g'es to the Bethle
hem steel works. The original contract
with the Carnegies called for six thou
sand tous of steel plate of which the ar
mor for the New York formed a pirt.
The uncompleted armor of the New.
York which will now be made at Bethle
hem consists of eleven plates for the aft
er line belt and all the turret armor.
Secretary Tracy is sai i to feel anything
but pleasau'ly toward the Carnegies, and
he is sorely chagrined at the delay in
completing the New York. This cruiser
is a special pet of his and it has been one
of his hobbies to have her finished and in
commissi -n before the end of his term of
office as secretary of the nauy, so that in
the great naval review next spring she
could fly the rl ig of the senior admiral
in command of the American squadron.
But owing to the misleading promises of
the Carnegie people, who again and again
protested that the strike at Homestead
would not prevent them from fu'fi ling
their government contracts, it is likely
that Secretary Tracy's succesfor will put
the New York in commission.
Few people are aware that there are
twenty-six general agetts of life insur
ance companies in Georgia, all directly
representing big insurance companies,
and all except one having headquarters
in Atlanta. This fact was demonstrated
a few days ago, when general agents of
the above mentioned number organized,
in Atlanta, what is rnreafter to be known
as the ''Georgia Life Insureis." This is
no business pool or tariff association, as
it is w\l? known that life rates are fixed
by the companies and not effected by
local intere-ts as in the case of fire insur
ance. This association is formed for the
purpose of promoting good fellowship
and closer social relations between these
men who, though representing different
companies, are all working to the same
end.
DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.
The Scene was Near the Now Noted
Town of Coffey^ ille, Kansas.
A special telegram from Coffeyville,
Kan., says: The night express on the
Denver branch of the Missouri Pacific
railway was held up and the express car
robbed between Caney and Tyro at mid
night Wednesday night by two masked
men. When the train stopped at Caney
at 11 o'clock one of the robbers secreted
himself on the forward platform of the
combination express and baggage car.
Shortly after leaving Caney the robber
climbed over the tender and, with lev
eled revolvers, ordered the engineer to
stop the train. The engineer brought
rhe train to a standstill and the [robber
cut the combination car from the train
and compelled the engineer to draw the
car to a deep cut about a mile further
east.
Here the other robber made his ap
pearance and both began firing their re
volvers. The express messenger was or
dered to open the door of the car, and,
after several shots were fired through
the panels, he complied. One of the
robbers entered the car while the other
remained on guard outside. The mes
senger opened the safe and the robbers
hastily grabbing the packages and en
velopes which it contained, placed them
in a small sack and jumped from the car.
Then they ordered the engineer to back
the car to where the train was left stand
ing, and after firing a few more shots as a
warning, disappeared in the darkness.
Both the robbers wore heavy black
masks and their clothing was spattered
with mud, indicating that they were
mounted and ridden hard. The express
messenger claims that he does not know
the value of the booty secured. The ex
press officials and railway men at dif
ferent points along the line claim that
the robbers did not secure over $500, if
indeed, they got that amount.
RYAN'S RECEIVER
Files Exceptions to the Auditor's Re
port In the Contempt Case.
Monday afternoon, at Atlanta, the re
ceiver, Charles S. Kin<;sbery, filed his
exceptions to the report of Auditor
Peeples in the Ryan contempt case. In
it he insists that the said report is not
subject to exceptions. Then it adds
that, so as to be in time and file excep
tions as erdercd, in ten days after the
filing of the report, if the court holds
that exceptions can be made, he files his
own.
All are exceptions of fact. Exception
one is that the auditor erred in finding
that Ryan had in his hauds only $73,
528.82"when the evideuce showed that
he had $500,000. Exception two al
leges that error was committed in find
ing the average daily sales from March
26 to May 26, 1891, inclusive, the ev
idence showed the average sales for that
period were ?5,000, and the total not
less than ?250,000.
Exception three complains of error be
cause the auditor found that the total of
Ryans deposits was swelled by kiting
to the amount of $S3,820, when the
whole amount of the deposits was from
money received in the ordinary course of
business, or if kiting did exi>t it did not
amount to more than ?25,000.
Exrception four shows error was made
because the auditor found that Ryan, dur
ing the time investigated, paid $72,177.
24 on his general indebtedness, when he
paid not more than $50,000.
Exception tive compbuns error was
committed in finding that Ryan paid on
Mav 2G, $10,055 to A. J. Ryan, $10,055
to C. I. Rvan, $30,170 to J. F. Ryan and
on May 25*, $10,022_to Mrs. Austell, when
the evidence was that lie did not pay any
of these sums. The court has given no
tice that it will decide what to do with
the exceptions.
SWAPPING CANDIDATES.
Row Minnesota Democrats and Popu
lists are Engineering the Campaign.
A news special of Thursday from St.
Paul says that the action of the dem
ocrats and populists in s( viral parts of
the .^tate discloses, in part, why four
Weaver elcc;ors were put on the demo
cratic national ticket. At Rochester two
candidates (if the legislature were nomi
nated by the populists and the demo
crats promptly endorsed them. The
same thing was done in three other
counties of the state. The scheme, it is
st ited, is to bring about a fusion in every
part of the state. To this end the pop
ulists will withdraw all their can
diotes in St. Paul and Minneapolis
and in return of the favor the democrats
will withdraw all their candidates in
alliance strongholds in the northern
p .rl of the state.
The plan, it is alleged, contemplates
the control of the lower home with the
vie .v of sending Michael I) inn, demo

first Alabama district.
M. J. O'Brien, the defaulting treasurer
of the Catholic Knights, wa9 arrested in
Philadelphia Monday, and will be brought
back to Chattanooga.
C. T. Buddocke, one of the wealthiest
grain merchants of New Orleans, suicid
ed by drowning himself in Claybor ue canal
Monday afternoon. Excessive drinking
is assigned as the cause.
Tuesday evening a two-story residence
belonging to Hudman Bros. & Co.,
Opelika, Ala., occupied by several fami
lies was destroyed by fire. It caught
from the stove. Loss $2,000; insurance
$1,500.
Fire occurred at Crewe station, near
Petersburg, Va,.on the Norfolk and west
ern railroad Monday morning, burning six
stores with contents. Loss $35,000;
partly insured. The fire originated in a
bakery.
A Raleigh, N. C, dispatch says : Gov
ernor Holt made the annual return of
the Daval militia of North Carolina
Monday. There is a battalion of four
divisions containing twenty-one officers,
forty-eight petty officers and two hun
dred and twenty-seven enlisted men.
James A. Psrker, a prominent citizen
of Ellersburg, Va.,'fwas found dead under
the back porch of his residence shortly
before midnight, Wednesday night, by
his wife, on her return from a perform
ance at the Academy of Music. He was
fifty-six years old and a well to do shoe
merchant.
The Louisville Times, one of the most
influential newspapers in Kentucky, in
its Thursday's issue, advise3 editorially
that Kentucky abandon all idea of ex
hibit at the world's fair. This advice is
based on complications that have arisen,
due to politics, official disputes and
questionable legislation, rendering the
$100,000 appropriation unavailable, to
gether with the indignities that have
been offered Congressman Breckinridge
by the Chicago press and public.
The internal revenue officers in Lin
coln county, Tenn., on Thursday, arrest
ed Nash Cooper and committed him to
jail at Fayetteville to await trial on the
charge of being implicated in the mur
der of Deputy Collectors Cardwell and
Mather, who were shot by moonshiners
near Flintville recently. Deputy Collec
tor Spurrier, who was dangerously
wounded at the time the other officers
were killed, is somewhat better.
Three men were killed and three were
wounded in a railroad accident at Ben
net tsville, in Marlboro county S. C.
Monday afternoon. The dead are : Boyd
Farley, John Michel and Charles Owen,
all railroad employes. W. D. Polk, yard
master, Andrew Whittle and Edward
Powel were wounded, but none of them
are serously hurt. The accident was
caused by a freight car on the Charleston.
Summer and Northern railroad jumping
the track just as the engine was slowly
rounding a sharp curve.
It is reported that there is a prob
ability that Senator John Daniel, of Vir
giniy,"will be asked to deliver the Colum
bia oration on October 21st. After re
ceiving Breckinridge's final declination,
the council of administration at a meet
ing in Chicago Thursday talked about
the situation and so did the executive
committee. It seemed to be th ; opinion
that the gap ought to be filled, although
the advantages of a shorter programme
were conceeded. Several members of
tbe council expressed the opinion that
Senator Daniel would accept the honor
and it is more than likely that the Vir
ginian will be invited to deliver the main
oration of the day.
GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

The Tariff and the Farmer.
A Pensylvania Democrat writes the
Courier-Journal for information upon
the following peints :
"1. How does the tariff affect the
grain farmers as compared with the cot?
ton growers?
"2. How are tariff rebates regu
lated?
"3. What articles of trade, either
produced on the farm or manufactured,
can be sold in the English market
cheaper than in the American market? I
mean American goods."
1. The tariff affects grain farmen
and cotton growers alike in this, that it
robs. both. It is true that there is s
tariff on corn, wheat and oats, on the
pretense of protecting them, but thej
need no protection, because they ar?
exported ia large q uantities and sold in
competition with the grain of other
countries. Whenever a com no dity can
be exported in large quantities, it is be
cause it is produced more chea ply here
than it is abroad. In the last fiscal
year we exported 157,000,000 bushels of
wheat, worth $161,000,00 0, besides
15,000,000 barrels of flour, w orth $55,.
000,000; also 75,000,000 bushels of
corn, worth ?41,500,000, and nearly
3,000,000,000 pounds of cotton, worth
$258,000,000. We were enabled to do
this because these commodities were
cheaper in the United States than in the
countries to which they were sent; the
price abroad, les3 freight, commission
and other charges, being the price re
aiized for them here. It is nonsense to
talk of protecting cheap goods against
those that are dearer; by the natural
laws of trade commodities seek the mar
kets where prices are best. Cotton is
on the free list, while wheat is nomi
nally protected by a duty of twenty-five
cents a bushel; but cotton is a3 effectu
ally protected by its cheapness a3 wheat,
and neither is protected by the tariff.
Where the robbery comes in is in the
tax on the goods which farmers receive
for their grain and cotton. We sent
abroad last year, in round numbers,
$800,000,000 worth of products of agri- .
culture of all kinds. What did we net
in return? Did we get our pay in gold?
No; we exported more gold and silver
than we imported. We had to taki
foreign merchandise in exchange, and
on all dutiable goods the tari:! exac ted
a duty of nearly fifty per cent. Thus,
of the $161,000,000 worth of w heat ex
ported, the farmers, if paid ia dutiable
goods, would get back only about $110,?
000,000 worth, the remainder being
necessary to pay the duties. It is true
that all imports are not dutiable; but it
is also true that the farmers pay to do
mestic manufacturers much higher prices
tor goods obtained from then than
similar goods woull cost abroad; so
that a reduction of one-third from the
purchasing power of our agricultural ex
ports does not by any means represent
the exaction which the tariff makes of
the farmers.
2. When imported mate rial is used
in the manufacture of an ar tide, ninety
nine per cent, of the duties pai ? on such
material is refunded when tne article is
exported.
3. Many agricultural implements, sew >
ing machines, and many other articles,
are sold abroad at lower prices than at
home. This has been denied, but it hai
been proved beyond question ; and some
protectionists admit and defend it at
proper. The rebate ot duties on import?
ed material contributes to render this
possible; but it also happens in the case
of articles on which no rebate is paid,
because high tariffs enable the manufac
turer to exact exce ssive profits at home,
while abroad, where the tariff gives him
no advantage, he is com pelled to take s
reasonable profit.?Cou ri er-Journal?
It Is a Stimulant.
Mr. Mason, one of the Republican
stumpers, declares that "the tariff is not
a tax but a stimulant. "
A true word.
The tariff stimulates campaign con
tributions from its beneficiaries, the pro
tected millionaires. The fat-friers know
this.
It stimulated Carnegie to buy castles
in Scotland and to set up as a money
lord in England while reducing wages at
home.
It stimulates manufacturers to shoddy*
ize their goods and raise their prices.
It stimulates the tariff and the usurer
to collect the debts of its victims.
It puts the stimulant of necessity upon
workingmen to secure the extra cost of
their necessaries due to exactions.
Mr. Mason is only half right. The
tariff is both a tax and a stimulant.
