MEMPHIS APPEAL
SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1879
GLOBE OF THE DEBATE.

the debate in congress on the appropria-
ton bill still ''drags its slow length along"
The country is tired of it, and will rejoice
when it terminates. The Democrats are not
responsible for it. The Republicans insisted
OF a full and free discussion, and if the
Democratic majority had refused it would
have been attributed to fear. In speaking of
the discussion the Washington Post says:
Gas the long debate nears its close, it will be
the policy of the Republican leaders to excite
the utmost bitterness of feeling. Every re-
source will be drawn upon for material that
can be employed to exasperate tho Exon
federates. Tales that have been proven lies
and long since abandoned will be brought to
the surface once more, and hurled
into the faces of southern members
with damnable dexterity. No device
that ingenuity can suggest for the provoca-
ton of ill-temper and hasty speech will be
omitted. As the Republican party proposes
to go into the next campaign under the red
banner of sectional hate, its leaders desire, by
any and all means, to make that hate intense
aud thus accomplish their great aim of So
lidifyiug the north. 1t will be necessary for
Democratic members to be prepared for this
species of strategy, and to treat, as it merits,
this line of policy. While insolence should
be always properly rebuked, the Republicans
should not be permitted to draw the atten-
ton of the house or the country away from
the simple, just and equitable propositions
co ltaiued in the pending bill. And least of
all things should Mr.. Conger and his fiery
associates be furnished with any texts which,
by malicious distortion, can be used to bolster
up the falling fortunes Of their thrice-defeated
and moribund organization. The Democratic
position is impregnable, because 1t Is just.
The party proposes no new departure, no
rash experiment, no disorganIzing scheT1e.
1t simply aims and intends to get the coun-
Try, in its mode of conducting elections, back
into the ways of the fathers-the tried and
safe ways from which it was violently
wrenehed by the men who legislated, not for
the good Of the people, but for the sole pur-
pose of keeping political control in their own
hands. There is no possibility that the coun-
try can be made to misapprehend the issues.
There is not question as to the final result.
The right will prevail. But it is of the first
Importance that the Republicans shall be dis
appointed in their purpose of making cam
paign capital out of the hasty words of DEM
ocratic members.

Nashville American, 9th: 'The Tennes-

that great interest is felt by public health

mouth to its source. Delegates from the
National board of heslth will also be pres

From those alone delegates will be sent

Franklin (Tenn.) ReUiei0 and Journal,
24th: ION Friday night of last week, Glenn
Gillem, who lives seven miles west of town,
was shot at the residence of 10 and Felix
Truett, two miles northeast Of town under
the following circumstances: 1t seems that
some weeks ago Gillem's daughter was mar
rled TO young man in the Truett nelghbor-
hood, named Peach. much against the wishes
of her father. 10 Truett is also son-in-law
of Gillem, and the latter charged the Truetts
with beng instrumental in bring about his
daughters union with Peach, which was
very distasteful to him. Hencs terrible bad
state, OF feeling spraug up, which illuminated
In the fatal gdifficulty. On Friday night,
after dark, the Truetts were at home, when
Gillem rode up, dsmounted and advanced
upon the house, cursing loudly and declaring
his purpose to kill the Truetts. In the ex-
element of the moment, John Truett, son
of Felix, about sixteen years old, fred two
shots at Gillem, with small cartridge pis-
tol, one taking effect In the side of his head,
just below the temple, and the other in the
side ranging through the stomach. The
physician pronounced the wounds as danger

small for long time after it. And there is
40 telling what will becon OF her poor dupe
and wretched stool pigeon, the negro. The
CHARGES are, however, that once absolved
from his unwilling copartucrshlp in crime
with his deceivers, he will develop into a re-
spectacle citizen, though probably not in an
exalted sphere. Aad IT is also possible that,
poor as he may be, the negro will ultimately
be rich enough to pity the New England
group; when the natural conse quences of
crime against humanity shall have overtaken
them, when the gains wrung from the bloody
sweat of cheated people and deluded gem
Grafton shall have been swept away, and
when the power built upon fraud and nour-
ished by can't shall have been crushed in the
unfailing revenges of time.

AGRICULTURE AND MANUFACTURES.

But the great fact to which M. Block
desires to call attention is the rupture of the
equilibrium between agriculture and manu-
features. 1t is impossible to establish fixed,
permanent and mathematical relations be-
tween these two branches of national indus
try, but still we feel that some connection
must exist. A purely agricultural country
age and often governed despotically A
purely manufacturing or commercial country
lacks solidity. Agriculture long predomina-
ted in the civilized world, but manufactures,
especially during this century, have taken
Its place. One noticeable result of the
progress of scientific discovery and its
application to industry is one which few
Europe has almost doubled since the begin
ming of this century. Without citing figures
for each individual country let US take the
striking instance of England and Wales.
The census OF 1901 gave $4,000 inhab:t-
ants, while the census of 1871 gave %, 704,-
0OO-that IS an increase OF 155 per cent Ii
Is plain that this rate of increase Is greatly
would soon arrive at date when the whole
English population would be composed of a
single couple, and that would be after the
time of Richard Coeur-de Lion. The IN
crease, therefore, was slow In former times
and rapid now. Civil war, famine and epi-
demlcs are not enough TO explain tins; for
according to Sir William Petty, England
had, in 1662-just seventeen years after the
great plague, 100000 inhabitants. Be-
tween 1882 and lS0l-118 years-the pcpu-
lation, therefore, only increased nineteen per
cent. The Journal Of the Statistical Society,
volume IS, page 1853, says that Great Britain
had in 1861, $3.50 inhabitants; in ISL,
Z, 1872, 900; In 1851, 81, 195, 600; the increase
for the first hundred years being little over
a million. and in the second hundred years
nearly fourteen millions.

!, IN the cotton industry 1t is not so easy for
the workmen TO see that their wages should
be reduced IL consequence of falling prices
Even where the workmen are willing to ad-
INIT the bad state of the market, they are un-
willing to accept the reduction of wages in
sisted upon by the employers under that
form; but, laying the cause to overproduc-
tlon, wish to keep the same proportionate
wages and work a less number of hours. in
the hope that after the difficulty is over they
Will again work full time. The employers
here, however, are right; for the state of the
market Is measured by the margin-that is,
the difference between the price of the manu-
featured article and the raw material. In
1914 pound of cotton yarn was worth 41!d.
more IMAM pound OF raw cotton; in 1873,
only Sid. AS to cotton cloth, the excess Of
the price over that of yarn was 8 I'D. in 1874.
and ;sd. in 1878. II these figures do not
