F. w. MERRIE, editor of the VaUo-
nian, has been designated rs the
proper agent for the collection of
funds to erect a monument at Frank
lin over the last resting-plaee of Col.
Farrell, the commander of the 18th
Mississippi regiment. The frstleader
of this regiment, if we are not mis-
taken, was Col. Statham; the second,
Colonel, afterward Major General, Ed.
Walthall, probably soon succeeded,
when promoted, by Colonel Farrell.
In any event Farrell became identi-
fed in sentiment, attachment and for
tune with the famous regiment. He
was the embodiment of its matches
heroism and esprit dU corps. No body
of men that went forth from the South
was more honored than this, which
never faltered in obedience to the ex-
actions of Farrell, deemed the bravest
of the brave. His monument should
be worthy of his fame and deeds, and
of the gallant men who, worthy Of
their commander, sleep beside him.
A marble shaft should lift its summit
far above the field on which Farrell
fell, to tell posterity of his virtues,
and mankind that his survivors recs
ognized his exalted worth.
The purpose of those who erect
monuments in a~ttestation Of the
worth of the dead is to perpetuate
their fame and make their deeds i'm
mortal. 1t is hardly desirable and
quite impossible to designate by last
ing and worthy memorials each rest
ing place of each brave soldier who
fell when Farrell went down. Mar
BILE slabs soon decay. Inscriptions on
their surfaces have become illegible
in old graveyards in the older cities
of the North. Infinitely better would
be the erection on the battlefield of
Franklin, where hopeless heroism de-
fed destiny and rushed into the jaws
Of certain death, of a mausoleum on
whose bright surface might be re-
corded the name of each hero who fell
on that fatal ielG. And above them
all let that of Farrell be inscribed in
characters bold and deep and strong
that may never be obliterated. Such
a monument should also attest the
worth of many as brave as Farrell, who
made the TWenty-ninth regiment of
Mississippians as iIlustrious as that
which Farrell led on the CORY field of
Franklin.
1t is proper that we should say that
no wOrthier agent for the consumma-
ton of purposes here defined can be
designated than the editor of the
V0lIOnidR. He came South from Ohio
not many years before the war began.
He was thoroughly imbued with the
conviction that the cause Of the South
was just. AS a soldier he illustrated
his integrity at the lannon's mouth.
He never faltered, and from the be-
ginning to the end of the contest was
as faithful and fearless as those whQe
memories and virtues and deedShe
would now render imperishable.

Letter from Hon. P. L. Cable, Candidate for
Congress, 4th District.


j. S. DRAKE. ESQ.,,
Dear Sir: Your letter advising me
of the action of the late congressional con
come to hand. Having unequivocally de
clined to permit the use of my name before
the convention, and having advised my
friends that | should be abroad with my
family at least for year, | was greatly
surprised at my nomination., and still more
surprised at the uuanimity with which il
was made.
sm also in receipt of letters from va
rious other gentlemen in the district, urging
me TO accept the nomination, and, using the
very fact that | was not an aspirant for the
office, as a strong reason for thus insisting
at least on permission, 10 use nv name
Recognizing the truth OF the proposition
that mo man should seek such an office or
refuse it when thrust upon him, y and
putting the whole responsibility ofthe result
on my friends and the democracy of the
district, l accept the nomination, and il
elected, will return and devote my best
energies to the service of the people of the
district and the country at large.
My own political opinions are well settled
and | presume, generally understood, but
| have no sympathy with the bitterness o.
mere party strife and the prevalent DISPOSE
ton 10 accord no virtue or honesty of pur
pose to political opponents, and should the
people of the district see fit to honor me
with a seat in congress, I should not use
them partisan, but attempt to do what
in my judgment should be right and mos,
conducive to the interests of the whole
people.
Having no agency in bringing sbout nv
nomination, and having no desire to fill the
Office, except wish to do my duty as q
citizen, l shall continue my proposed
Journey to the Continent and not return
home TO engage in the discussion of the
Official issues involved, or a. tempt In any
way to influence the verdict of the people at
the polls.
In case OF my election, | should rejoice
m uch more over the success of the conser
natives of the district than over the honor
conferred upon me, and, if defeated. shall
at least have the satisfaction of feeling that
I did my duty in permitting the use of my
name under the peculiar circumstances.
Thanking my friends for the honor in
tended to be conferred, ard assuring them
that a more suitable, willing and available
candidate could have been selected,
am truly yours,

The Tax on Salt.

In an able and unanswerable speech upon
the high tariff measures, Hon. Samuel s.
Marshall, at the last session of congress,
gave q scorching exposition of the injustice
of those measures in their operations upon
the people of the United States. Dwelling
at length upon the great wrong perpetrated
upon the west by levying an exhorbits
tax upon salt Mr.. Marshall introduced
some valuable statistics that will prove OF
interest to the readers of the Herald, Just
on the eve of the election, when the
party responsible for the same is appealing
for a new lease of power.
The consumption of salt in the United
States is between 80 600, 200 and 10000 900
bushels, or about one bushel per capita.
The duty is from Is to "a cents gold per
hundred pounds. Add TO this the premium
on gold and the natural percentage on
capital employed in hand ling this article,
and We have tax not far from 80 cents per
bushel, to be paid by interior consumers
Thir.y-fve million bushels at 80 cents per
bushel will be $40 800, 900. Of this vas,
sum drawn from the people of the entire
country, only little over 100000 is paid
900 goes into the pockets of the salt mono
polists of the country, and is q tribute to
capital forced from the people at large by
the vicious and discriminating measures
ta1 ku rodira1 Thaae
estimates of Mr.. Msrshall's are ss reliable
as it is possible TO obtain and clearly ex
pose the glsring in ustice of the tariff upon
this important article of general consump.
ton.
But its injustice to the people of the west
is even more clearly shown in the brief
statement which here follows. The act
imposing this oppressive tax on sal: with
due consideration for the interests Of that
famed peusioner Of the government, New
England, provides for the withdrawal from
bond of salt used in its fisheries and the
remission thereof Under this provision
there was withdrawn from bond in the
Gloucester district of Massachusetts,, for the
third quarter Of the calender year 1869, aD
aggregate of 8,622,778 pounds of salt,
valued $9,307. On this the duty of 81,
440.99 in gold, which, with the premium on
gold at the time, made $l8,773.21. With
q tariff act discriminating in favor of New
England this last named sum was RENTED
Had this salt however, been used in the
west, in pork or beef packing, every pound
would have had to pay duty and this SIS,
1927 must have been forthcoming. All
things considered, the cost of salt to the
western farmer is at least 81 to 81, as com
pared with Massachusetts fishermen. The
facts here given have been arrived at by
close study and calculation and daserve the
attention Of the voters of Illinois, regardless
of party. They bear directly upon our own
interests and their Importance in the contest
now pending capno: be overestimated.
Farmers, mechanics and laborers of Illinois
ponder well the statements here published,
and decide what is your duty in the prem
ises.-QHincy Herald.

Many females suffer in some way at each

times the menstrual flow is too much, too lit

MeSnneSS

There has been some talk by the RAIDS
about spot house politicians" and calling
our candidate. Me-. Gable, one of that class.
Suppose now we vary the subject by calling
Mr.. Hawley contemplate bully and q brag,
and we will also prove by facts the truth OF
our epithets.
Last Saturday, this wandering Office refugee
went to the workmen on the island, shook
hands with them, and tried to make votes
By tender inquiries after the families of such
as had one. He told them that it was to his
efforts and influence that the bridge was
secured to this place, 90 that they might
have work. This is no falsehood, neither is
it the truth, but it is bare>faced lie. Our
reference on this subject is A. c. Harding.
Finding that he was unpopular with them
he tried another plan, which shows the con
temp.iDle nature of the apology for man
called Hawley. He actually intimated to
the men that if man of them dared refuse
to vote for him, he would have that man
discharged by means of his personal inhu-
ence with the government, he would have
change Of officers IN command of the work
who would serve him and him only.
His Influence You have as much to do
with the new bridge, and so have any of our
readers, as Lord Hawey. His power to
discharge any one from those works that
refuses to vote for him he has not the
slightest vestige of such power, never had,
nor never will have. But he knew that the
threat was his last resort with them, and no
matter for the lie-he used it. The RAIDS
have descended step by step in their vain
attempts to make votes for this fellow, and
now, to be sure of the Island vote, Hawley
threatens such workmen as refuse TO vote
for him with discharge. What do the voters
of this district think of this action of this
noble man, this lowly christian, with meek
and contrise heart But then YOU know it
was not Sunday, but Saturday, another
thing altogether. Oh thou follower of the
Lamb, disciple of the living truth, pillar of
the church, how hast thou, as did that man
of holy writ, sold thy soul to the ID for
the Island vote For the good of your sinful
heart, we recommend careful study of the
bioie-and we have been to the trouble of
selecting verse for you to commit to
memory-Mssthew VI. c., '. "a. Let us
