THE MONEY FIEND.

The greed for gold has caused men to forget their duty to their God, their country and te their fellow man.
 The bond holder, the bullion ist, the banker, the money brok- CTS and their hlrelings have con spired together to plunder and de- fraud our people out of all they possess.
 They have subsidized Congress men, and more than half the met ropolitan papers, until they have nearly smothered the voice of the people.
 Public journals which two years ago were outspoken against these vile cormorants are now as mute as death. Even papers protesting Democracy have joined with that prince of corruptionists, Gen. Grant, and demand gold for the bondholder and ruin for the farm CT, merchant, and mechanic; and starvation for the laborer and op- erative in the mill and the mine.
 They and Grant handle the cur rent slang as fiippantly as the boot blacks on the streets. THEY know all about "irredeemable promises" and engraved lies" and "rag babies" but never reason, n,-never why nor a wherefore.
 These money fiends, or gold flends, headed by the notorious shylock, Manton Marble, have di- vlded their forces into tive battal- ions, with entirely different uni forms.
 One party claims to be republi can, the other democratic, but they are all wolves in sheep's clothing. One expects to decieve one party, the other the other.
 For years we have had two kinds of currency, one for the rich and one for tho poor and industri- GUS. The bondholders money is worth from l2 to If cents on the dollar more thsu that handled by

Tainted Meat.
C.. E. T..

We find the following in the Van Buren Argus. Col. Lockhart is a we'll known citizen of that place, and his statements are en tirely reliable:
 In view of the fact that many farmers lost large quantities of meat this season, caused by the extreme warm weather, l will give you the result of an experiment. 1 made a few weeks ago, when l found tha. my meat WAS spoiled also.
 I had read that charcoal weuld restore tainted OF spoiled meat, and having plenty of charcoal on hand, (which l feed regularly 70 my hogs) l concluded to try il, and in order to test the mattel thoroughly selected few should CTS so badly spoiled, that l haa thrown them out for soapgrease. and placed them in box and GOV cred them with charcoal. l did this in the presence of my Bro, w. II. Lockhsrt, and Wm. Moss. Alter allowing it to remain in the charcoal three weeks, 1 took it out in the presence of the aforesaid parties, and found it to be as sound and sweet as any meat in the smoke house.
 1 will remark in tLis connection that the most talented agricultu al writers ia the United States rec ommend the use of charcoal as g preventative of hog cholera.

GARLAND TOR THE SEN-
 ATE

Is the cry from one end of Ar kansas to the other. While we have expressed curself as doubt ing the propriety of the newspa- pers of the State bringing for ward candidates for the different offices which are elective by the direct vote of the people, believ- ing that the people,-themselves, through their conventions, should determine this,--we see no impro- priety whatever, in the press of the State giving their views as to their choice for a successor to Mir. Clayton in the U. s. Senate. h. deed, we think 1t is well to let 1t be known who is the choice of the people for this high office, so that our next nem bers of the, General Assembly may know Tn advance eff becoming candidates, whom they will be expected to vote for. We are, therefore, highly gratl- fled to sec the unanimity with which our state exchanges are coming out in favor of Hon. A. H.
  Garland; and we cheerfully add our voice to theirs in calling Mir. Garland to this position. We can join in this nominations ,-as it were-the more cheerfully, be- cause, aside from Mir. Garland being our own personal choice, we know that he is the unani- nous choice of the voters of our county. It needs no recital by us, of the many points of promi- hence in which Mr. Garland ex- cells any other candidate which could be selected. His qualifica- tions and abilities are too well known to the people of Arkansas to need any words of commenda- ton from us. We therefore say with all our might, Give us Gar land for the Senate.

THE ROAD FROM BOONE
 COUNTY SOUTH.

The "Pioneer Farmer" of Fancy county, Mo, is pleading for pike road from Harrison to Springfield. Now it is plain to every one who knows any thing about our con dition, that we cannot iong remain in our present isolated state. Yet .he hearts desire of Boone county is, that we have an outlet to some point on the Ft. Smith R. R. so as to have tree access to tue southern markets. We have been paying tribute to Springfield long enough. This is not the market for us. Let us of Boone county, be of one mind; let us cherish the one de- sign, and the one hope of reaching the southern market with good road. Let us persevere with un- tiring energy until the end is ac- complished.
 The above is from the sensible editor of the Boone County Rec ord, and we commend his short, but pithy remarks on thls subject to the earnest consideration of the people between here and Harri- son. The natural and easiest out let for the products of that coun- try is South.
 We have heard a great deal of talk about this road from Harri- son to this point, and we hope now this spring to hear and see more than talk. We know that q good road can be made over this route if the movement could only be started. All it wants is for some one to take the lead and show a determination, and we are satisfied the movement will meet with hearty response all along the line. We are sure the people of our county are willing to do their share, and We will favor an appropriation by our County Court to aid in the work. We have no doubt if the matter was properly brought to the consider ation of the l.. R. & Ft. s. Ry., they would also give some aid to the enterprise; at any rate they should be solicited to do so, for it would bring q large increase of freightage over their road.
 The trade which Springfield has received from Boone, Searcy and Newton counties would all cone this way if there was good pike road.
 Let the people along this line do all they can this spring and summer and when the Legislature meets this fall let an apprepria tion of a few thousand dollars be asked from the State, and by win , ter we can have a first class road for the transportation of the pres cnt years crOD,

 Separate sealed proposals for printing and binding 5000 copies of the acts passed by the adjourn ed session of the Legislature Of 1875, and 1000 copies of the con stitution of the State, are invited and will be received by the Board of Commissioners to superintend the letting of Public Contracts up to Saturday March 18th, 1876.
 The trial of Gen. Babcock, the bosom friend and private sec retary of Gen. Grant, for compile 1. ity in the crooked whisky cases is in progress at St. Louis. The deposition of President Grant was taken at Washington on the 18th inst, and develops the fact that Babcock had influenced, or at tempted to influence, the appoint ment of officials involved in the whiskey ring. The president tes- tifles to his confidence in Bab cocks honesty.

OUR AIM.

It is the aim and desire of the editor and proprietors of the DEMOCRAT to make this paper emphatically THE PEOPLES PAPER; and by the peoples we mean the whole peopIe's--big, little, old and young--democrats and repub- licans. To the latter especially we desire to say a word in regard the support of this paper. While we do not expect or wish to force our political views, which every body who knows us, knows to be democratic first, last and all the time, upon any body, we do wish the republicans of Pope county to do their share Tn supporting the paper as home, local paper, which is doing just as much for one man as another. While we are working to advance the pros perity of our county, to make known our resources, to attract immigration, to build up our country, and to furnish a reliable home paper to the people of Pope county, we arc doing just as much to advance the personal interests and to add to the value of the farms and property of the repub- lcans as democrats. We know prejudice goes long way to pre- vent our republican friends from subscribing for democratic pa per, but we ask them to look at this matter Tn a fair unprcjudiced way and see if it is not their dnty to do their share toward the sup port of this paper. They, as good citizens, ought to be, and no doubt are AS much interested in the wei fare of the county as we are. They can derive just as much benefit from the news and general information given through our paper as democrats can. Thus far but few republicans have subscribed for our paper, and we regret to see good citizens tagging back from the support of a public enterprise of such a beneficial character as good home paper, simply on account of an honest difference of opinion on politics. Republicans are entitled to their opinion; we are entitled to ours, but this need not hinder us from sustaining paper which will be q credit to our county, and do more than anything else to con vince the outside world that Pope county is the home of enlighten- ed, intelligent reading people.
 We submit these things to the careful consideration of the many republicans in our county who VIC esteem as good citizens, and we hope soon to add a hundred or more of their names to our sub- scr,ption list.

There is no argument

good. There is no argument nothing convincing and nothing cdifying to readers in it, and we think it a very small part of jour nalism. We do not object to wit and humor but there is room enough for it without these little journalistic iostlings. If one DOT tion of the press cannot respect and treat with courtesy the other, what need be expected of the pub lie? If these journals recognize the usefulness ot the newspaper, why this desire 10 make each oth- CT appear insignificant, imbecile, and stupid in the eyes of the pub lie? And right here we would respectfully invite the attention of our brothers of the press, and especially of the Herald and Star, to short arti cle taken from the Electrotyper, headed "Turn over new leaf"
 As to the Herala's position in regard to candidates we are ln- clined to favor it. We think the plan of every paper in the state putting forward names, and press ing the claims of their favorites only tends to confuse the dele gates to tho convention when as- sembled. The people of the state, the so ereign voters, have certain ly not made up their minds on the merits of candidates yet, and will give it but little attention until near the time for sending forward their delegates. Then they will make up their minds and if left unconfused and untrammeled by the appeals of self-constitute'i organs in favor of pets and favor ites. they (the people) through their delegates will put forward tickets worthy the support and confidence of both the press and the people. And when the con vention is held if it proves to be wire-pulled and manipulated then will be time enough for the press to expose it and put forward better men and measures, and then the people will be very apt to repudiate all such "wire-pulled and manipulated' arrangements. For our part We deem the appeals of the paper at this early day in favor of any particular individu- als, little short of wire pulling and manipulation. Let the press in struct the people what kind ol men and principles to go for, but leave the people free to select their own representatives of these principles.

the manufacturer, the merchant or farmer.
 The money fiends fix the rate or interest, and they fix it high enough to ruin the business men first and then the farmer and mechanic. How many of our people are aware that the annual increase of the property or wealth of the country i, little over 3 per cent?
 How many of our people know that one half the wealth is held by one-tenth of the voters? And yet much of this tenth pays next to no taxes.
 How much longer can this thing go on and our country maintain even semblance of repub- lican government? What is all our vaunted democracy worth when it's leaders sell out to Wall street and desert their constitu- ents to the tender mercies of these gold devils?
 Is my language rough or un- couth?
 Very we'll; I wish to be under stood, and care but little for ele- gant expression, but great deal for forceable truth.
 The Shylocks are upon us, is there Sampson to slay them?
 It is nothing to these gold hounds that 15,000 houses in New York are offered for sale by the Sheriff; that manufacturers, mer- chants and business men are driy- en to bankruptcy, and the poor to the poorhouse or to starvation.
 But it will be millions to them when we have struck hard- pan" when property is sold for trifie, then they will be on hand to buy with the money wrung by fraud from the people, feeling sure the money so paid will come back to their own pockets as they cut the coupons from their bonds.
 The Democracy has always been opposed to monopolies; let her prove her professions by her works.
 Now is the time, no monopoly was ever so detrimental to the in- dustries of the nation as q money monopoly; it first enslaves the merchant and manufacturing classes, and then crushes every industry to the earth.
 The people have it in their power, with Heavens assistance, to save themselves. Let them dc. termine to vote for no man for Congress who will not openly promise to do all in his power to repeal the Sherman bill and com pei the government to honor its own paper at the custom house.
 Then greenbacks will be as good as gold.
 Since writing the above 1 have read and cut from q Louis vile paper, the following in proc f of what 1 have said:
 "If there ever was people com pletely under the rule of tyranical laws, that people are the inhabit- ants of the United States. No monarchy, no despotie Czar, no kingdom, no dukedom, no here ditary or military despotism ever has, in the worlds history, so com pletely oppressed the inhabitants of the whole country as we are now oppressed Tn free America.
