The anti-monopolist., 1874-11-19
Another Prelender In Arkansas.

Just as everybody supposed that alb
solute peace was restored in Arkansas,
with the election Of Gov. Garland and
the adoption of new constitution, one
V. V. Smith disturbs the general satis-
faction with a proclamation. This
Smith, whose pretensions are discredit
to the great family whose name he
bears, claims to bel de jure Governor
of Arkansas, because, lst, he was elect
ed Lieutenant Governor on the Baxter
ticket I'd, Baxter forfeited his claim
to the Office by resigning it to Garland;
and, 3D., Garland was not legally elected
hence V. V. succeeds to the Office.
Granting his legal premises to be cor
rect it is evident that the people of
Arkansas never intended to make this
Smith Governor, and all the numerous
honorable men and GAL.
liant soldiers of the name
would therefore protest against the i'm
pertinence ofV. v. in trying to impose
himself upon that people. But it would
appear, to outside observers, that the
proceedings ending in Garland's S enter
ing upon the duties Of Governor were
strictly legal as well as in accord with
the wishes Of the people Of Arkansas.
Nevertheless the proclamation which
V. v. has issued denouncing Garland
and his associates in Office as usurpers
and revolutionists, is endorsed by other
lately ousted State officers, has been
submitted to the President, to whom
Y. Y. appeals, and by the President
has been referrc ed to Attorney. General
Williams. This functionary was visit

TO the Republican received to-day from
various parts of Arkansas represent
that Smiths adherents continue arm

their position.
Smiths government will be organized
either at Helena or Pine Bluff, where
the Republican element largely prepon-
derates.

respectfully and earnestly pray that
you direct an immediate survey to be
made of both said proposed routes, and

tributary to said rivers.

We will pass it again this winter. Let

The New York Times SAYS

The New \ ork Times says
"The Democrats in Ohio and Indiana don't
want lower prices, but higher. They raise
wueat anu u1 Uot care to see flour at five
dollars a barrel They want good price
for their pork, and they don't want foreign
competition with their wool.
1t is terrible accusation that those VINO
raise wheat, pork, wool, etc, should want
to get u higher price for it Our Eastern
friends who have money to loan, want a
higher price for it in the way OF interest,
and they want q high price tor their bonds,
their National Bank stock, and for their
cotton and wooden manufactures. They
want TO force down the price OF Western
products to the lowest figure We think
that the millions who raise corn, pork and
wheat should be protected rather than the
lew thousand Eastern CAPITALISTS who have
money TO loan In the meantime we call the
attention of our Western Republican farmers
10 the fact that the Times says they are not
with the Democrats in desiring good price
for agricultural products Cincinnati En-
qutrCr.
If we understand western sentiment
1t is, that the prices of all commodities
should be left to the natural laws OF
trade ana commerce and that they
should be regulated by the markets Of
the world. They are opposed to sell
ling their wheat at the Liverpool price
and buying their manufactures at the
Boston price; to-wit twice the Liver
pool price. But if the power Of ou,
general government is to be used t
hold up the Boston Price at the cost o
the producers of the West, then W,
propose to take the turkey once ant
give the East the buzzard. Just for
change. That is. we will have, by
force Of law. home price for agricul
tural productions. twice the world /
price, and buy our manufactures a
the worlds price. 1t would not b
long. on that basis, ere the wealth o
the nation would be concentrated IL
the Valley Of the Mississippi, and St
Louis would take the commercial an,
monetary position now held by New
York.
