COVE HACKS.

ED. DEMOCRAT: Not seeing any thing from this part of the wooden creation for some time, thought it would not be miss to let the people know how us back woods people are getting along. The most of us are still alive and able to . get around without stick. And every body seems to be in a good humor. Some of our farmers have commenced turning their land for another crop which is a good idea for the sooner the land is turned the better crop will be raised on the land. Mir. Thomas Martin met with the sad misfortune of getting his house burn ed near the Cove Church last Satur. day night. He was not living in the house at the time, but was go- ing to move Tn few days. It was a good log house and about 400 feet of lumber was burned in the house. It was fired by unknown parties, but known or unknown, one thing we do know, any person who will slip to a mans house in the dead hours of the night and set fire to it, in our judgement, there is nothing too low down for him to do, even if it is among the chickens or sheep. Al, though this does not seem to dis courage MT. Martin for he IS going right ahead building another house, and in a few days will be ready to move. We'll l must say few words about the young people of the Cove The debating society known as The Independent Debating Society has spoken against what is known as Rocky Polnt Society. Cove beat two best out of three. I wonder if the boys can throw rocks then. Al ter speaking of the boys must say there are some healthy and good looking girls stay around in the cove also which attracts farmers, lawyers, doctors, and even preachers have been known to go to some houses. We learned to day that our old friend, MT. Thomas Oats, of Yell county, formerly of Pope coun- ty, has had to give up his daughter, Eliza, to one J. H. Morrow. Now Jim since your Miss has depar- ted from single blessedness, here is our best wishes to you and fair lady, hoping you may live long and hap py lives. Still old fel. you could have hinted man on such things. So no more for this time.

Running the Country.

As the Democrats are labOring to show
that 20 years of Republication has
ruined the United States" we will be
generous enough to help them to few
statistics.
In 1860, when the Democrats had been
i'm power 20 years, the U. s. 6 percent
bond was worth SO cents. In 1880, after
the Republicans had steered the ship of
state 20 years land made more history i'm
that time than since 1910, a q. s. per-
cent bond is worth $1.0S.
In 1860, after 20 years of Democracy,
a loan of $1SOO0,OOO exhausted the
money market for half year. In 1880
loan of $15O,OO0,OO0 was taken i'm a
single day under Republican manage
ment.
In 1860, after 20 years Of Democratic
manipulation of the finances. congress
was obliged to authorize loan of $685.
100000 to pay current expenses. In 1880
after the Republicans have fought. on
the defensive, one of the most fearful
of modern civil wars, brought on by the
rebellion Of the southern wing of the

They Want CahaDge.
F ON Chicago Inter-Ocean.

ON Chicago Inter-Oceau
Some people talk about wanting a
change in our governmental affairs. We
have also heard about jumping out Of the
frying-pan into the fire. People who
have memories running back twenty
years must be insane TO desire rest0ra-
tiOn of Democratic rule.
Then, in time of peace, the revenues OF
the country were so crippled that the
credit of the government was low indeed;
Indebtedness was contracted; public Sc
curities were at a discount; high rate
of interest had to be paid-this the result
of twenty-five years of Democratic rule
During twenty years of Republican
rule the public credit stands higher than
it ever did before. During the past fiji
teen years over SSC0,000,C0O of the public
debt which the Democratic rebellion
brought upon the country has been paid,
while the largely increased current eX-
penses of the government have been
promptly met.
But this is not all. Business has in
creased 200 per cent. at least; the wages
of the mechanic and the labOrer are
much higher; the farmers profits are in
finitely larger; good times prevail every
where; the country is growing rich at a
rate unprecedented in our history, and
its resources are being developed more
extensively and more rapidly than ever
before; and our uniform currency, equal
to gold the country over, was never be-
fore i'm such safe and sound condition !;
our industries were never so prosperous.
All this under the Republican policy. A
change, indeed, would it be to 60 back
b A ~
change in every respect.
The banks will be very glad to pay
you in gold, instead of bank notes. That
is the kind of money Republicans have
made for the peOple-gOld and silver,
and paper money as good as either. No
country at any time ever had a better
currency than ours to day. There is no
shaving and no discount. You can take
a paper dollar, and it is worth its face in
every State. You can stuff it down in
your pocket, and it is hOnOred as money
in every leading port which does bust
ness with the United States. And yet
there are men interested in business
which would unsettle everything by de-
handing what they call "a change" "a
change"-dO the commercial Oh financial
men ask "a changer" Does the thrifty
farmer or the enterprising mechanic or
the labOrer? No; it is lot of restless,
ambitious, and dangerous politicians,
who are greedy for spOils, having proved
treacherOus in all the past of their his
tory, and brought the whole land into
mourning, and well nigh bankrupted it
in the bargain. Why should we change
the prosperity and certainty of the pres
ent for any of their fair promises of hon
esty in the future? Let every man who
loves his country, every man who wants
to do his duty by himself and to those
dependent upon him, ask himself what
is to be the benefit of "a change" He
can most certainly, judging the future
with the past, except it will not only be
"a change" but "the change" which he
will have occasion to remember when
misfOrtunes arrive.

Democratic party, the Republican Sec
rotary of the Treasury pays off $85,0O0,-
600 of the war debt, and is preparing to
lessen it yearly at rate that astOnishes
all Europe.
In 1860, after 20 years of Democratic
engineering, the balance of trade against
the United States was over $20,OOO,OOO
land they are working hard on the tariff
suit, if they can get into power and con-
troll the tariff policy. In 1880. after 20
years of the Republican idea of making
the United States a self-prOducing cOun-
| try, the balance of trade stood 1852 .OOO.-
600 in favor of the United States.
| In 1860 the president was lay figure,
a puppet, whose wires were drawn by
jeremiah Black, who proposes now to fit
Gen. Hancock with stock Of statesman
ship warranted to run four years. In
1880 the president was aeman of princi-
Piles and of backbone; his mistakes were
honest ones, ard his plumbers had no
traitOrOus intent.
In 1860 the country stood at a crisis
where only the patriotism of her child
rem could save her from ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
In 1880 the nation stands strong and re-
liant, knowing in whom she can trust,
and with glorious future before her.
| In 1880, compared with 1860, our pop
ulatiOn has increased 80 per cent; our
general agricultural exports 600 per
cent; our exports of bread and bread
stuffs $50 per cent; our exports of man
ufactured articles 325 per cent; our in
ternal commerce 7OOpe cent; our rail
way mileage 1877 per cent.
/ As this is the way the Republicans
have ruined the country" it certainly
looks very important that they should
cOntinuestO ruin" it, and rule it, fol
another 20 years, or till the Democrats
rise to the occasion and conclude
that right is right if it ISM

THE literary men of the Democracy

THE literary men of the Democracy
have had great trouble to prepare
proper amount of reading matter for
campaign purposes. The records on
every public question are against their
party, and they have had either to direct
ly faleify or steer clear of all pertinent
questions in the public mind. Even dis
sertions on free trade will only do for
some sections of the country, and they
have to be judiciously circulated or they
do more harm than good. Then
the p life of Hancock, told
in most fabulous view, can only be sent
North, as it is not agreeable to the South
ern wing of the party to read how sue
cessfully he had their brothers shot
down in battle. About their only cry is,
No more bloody shirt and Cancellation,
nOn-sectiOnalism. etc. The case really
demands more talent than the Demo-
cratic party can command.
