HOW UNGRATEFUL IT WAS.

There are many strange things occurring
daily under the sun. One ofthese strange
and remarkable events, that mark the histo-
ry of every generation, was on the 9Th inst,
transacted in our Legislative halls That
body possessing so much refinement, intelll-
gence and moral worth should still be ca
pable Of the act of ingrattude. and be re-
gardles. of the fate OF the universe. or the
interests of North Mississippi" is strange
and inexplicable. almost beyond prece
dent
That the sacrifice OF time, ia lent and
speeches, of the great Polar Star of repudi-
alton in North Mississippi" should be re-
warded, by what is equivalent to an indefn-
ite extinguishment, would be distressing
had il been but the subject ofa dream; what
then must be our feelings when impressed
with The reality that Roger Barton. Esq
has not been elected to represent the State in
the U S. Senate.
So far as his great luminary in the polit-
real armament of North Mississippi" is
concerned. he no doubt like the noble Spar
tan, reioices that there are stars of superior
briIliancy and ma gnitude in the sphere with
himself The partial obscurity to which
he is consigned, by the dark cloud of in
gratitude which hides his virtue and his
worth for a season, from the gaze of an ad
,niring nation. must become to him the re-
trest of happiness. The consciousness that
no, his own, but the dear peoples good
was the Alpha and Omega of all his labor
and desires
I Truly Roger thou hast received thy
merited reward.

NASHVILLE, Aug. 9Th, 1914.
DEAR SiR,--I have the honor TO acknowledge
the receipt Of yours Of the 23l ultimo and beg
leave to you, that it gives me much pleasure
to afford the information you desire.
1t must strike the friends of Mr. Polk in this
State, with great establishment, to see it stated in
the journals Of your state, that he is the friend and
advocate Of protective tarf when there is no po-
ltlca fact more notorious, than that he is the UNI
compromising opponent Of Protection. Col. Polk,
for the last four or FIVE years. has been before the
people OF Tennessee as candidate for the Guber-
material chair, During that time he has published
his opinions the subject Of Tariff, as often as
SIX or seven times, and in each and all of these
publications, he has ayowed himself opposed to tho
Protective Poicy To these various objections
refer you for full and explicit declaration of his
opinion on this subject
COL Polk and myself were competing candidates
for the Executive chair of this State in lS4l, and
lSI3 think | met him in these several Campaigns,
as often as one hundred and ,Ajty times in public
discussions before the people of this State and at
each and every speech he made, he invariably
avowed his opposition 10 the protective policy and
in the last contest of 1913, he assaed and denoun-
ed the present tariff act as highly protective in its
character, and pledged his influence and effort to
secure its repeal. | think | may sag with great
confidence that it was mainly on this question that
Colonel Polk and his friends expected to defeat me

examine the books of an old and respectable mer-
chant in Tolland county, in this State and he found
on day book for the years 1919 and 1920, cotton
shrtings charged uniformly at 46 cents yard, for
three quarters of yard wide--other cotton goods
were charged in proportion At the same time corn
was selling at rs cents bushel-the same as at
the present, that for one bushe of corn the far
mer could not buy two yards of cotton cloth, where
as at the present tme for the same measure ofcorn
he can purchase twelve yards of cloth! What in
terest has been more benefited by Protection
than the agricuturist, and yet the Locofocos would
destroy the Protective principle, and substitute in
its place the Free Trade principle, whereby the
Free Labor of this country will be brought on
level, and made to compete with the serf aud Slave
labor Of Foreign Powers. Farmers, and Mechan-
les who work hard to obtain an honest livelihood,
