AN ISSUE.

The Democratic party having prac-
tically followed the lead of it's Repub-
lican adversary on many of the ques-
tions growing out of the late war, pol
iticians of both parties are freely adj
hitting that the alleged issues now d.
viding them are of little moment, being
comparatively Insignificant, and the
more thoughtful of Democratic states
men are incubating an issue for 1884
to be known as the Revenue Reform"
issue. Revenue reform, as we under
stand the term, means provision for
revenue tariff, which while afford
ing incidental protection to American
industries does not involve that class
legislation which enriches compare
lively few individuals at the expense
of the toiling many, as now obtains
under protective tariff. The high
tariff wings of both parties have for
years had things pretty much their
own way and by the undue protection
given American manufacturers have
built up an aggregation of capital that
controls tariff legislation. In some
instances the excessive tariff imposed
amounts to almost an outright prohi-
bition of Importation and nearly the
entire amount of tariff fixed, instead
IF going into the United States Treas
ury goes into the Golfers of wealthy
manufacturers who have amassed i'm.
mense fortunes under the protective
system, to which the consumer, be he
ever so poor. is unjustly compelled TO
contribute. The Republican party is
essentially high tariff one. thorough
ly committed to protective system
which simply benefits capital. while
under a revenue tariff, such as is sug-
gested by Revenue Reform" capital,
labor and the consumer are alike fair
y and equitably treated.
Let the old Bourbons who, fgura-
lively speaking, are still voting for
General Jackson surrender the man.
.gement of the Democratic party into
he hands of its younger members who
will ignore dead issues and reorganize
It upon some of the living questions of
he day, with tariff reform as one of
Is cardinal principles, and it will re-
| eeive accessions to its ranks that will
surprise people of all shades of politi-
cal opinion. The agricultural and
rapidly growing West should have no
sympathy with purloining system
which under the guise of protection
to American industry robs the masses
of the people to enrich manufacturers
and jobbers who freely use their i'll
gotten gains to secure Congressional
legislation that perpetuates their
scheme for plumber. In referring to
Democratic statesmen as endeavoring
to formulate an issue which thous-
ands of Republicans would cheerfully
support we do not wish to be under
| stood as in any way endorsing modern
Democracy, but we are perfectly will
ing to go upon record as opposed to
the ubiquitous system of legislation
which practically robs the many to
| enrich the few-a robbery of which
the protective tariff is very clever

that Senator Logan, of Illinois, one of
the Senatorial triumvirate who tried
to force the denomination of Presi-
dent Grant for a third term in 1880,
is about to retire from politics on ac-
count of ill-health. If he does not re-
enter politics in 1884. unless he does
so sooner, he is slcker man than we
take him to be.

A NAVAL commander in referring
to our navy says that though since
1885 the United States has expended
enough money to make it only second
in efficiency to the navies of Great
Britain and France, there is not a
fourth-class European power but that
could, with its iron-clads of modern
construction, superior speed, and hea-
Wy armature, select its own distance
and deliberately sink every one of our
war ships without danger to itself.
This is significant commentary upon
the profiIgate expenditure of naval
appropriations.

In the st. Louis Jail.

Ed. Register-A visit to the st. Louis Jail
will indeed amply repay the time expended.
Having occasion to call upon a friend from
Ironton, who was unfortunate as to be-
come a summer boarder by violating the
revenue laws-through fault of the head,
but, know, not of the heart-I was only too
glad to get in (as no one is permitted inside
unless on some necessary business). To my
surprise, found the above party looking
remarkably well-a good Indication of his
Innocence. He will be out this week, unless
he voluntarily wishes to stay longer. He en-
joys himself-although his associates may
not be of the most desirable; he is well fed
orders from the restaurants any delicacy he
may wish for; reads all the papers; smokes
cigars-instead of making them; and, alto
cether, kills time as man Of wealth and
leisure would naturally do were he confined
to his room by slight indisposition.
To the historic u student the sight is really
sublime, By com pairing the ancient and mod
ern modes of punishment; what great strides
to civilization since the last century. In
those times we had dark, dismal, close pris-
ons, where bread lnd-water was the only

provedunusually entertaining. As MAORI

Trip to Belleview Valley.

elegant springs in each; crops all looking

cinating appearance. Although the Doctor
Is now more than three score -and-ten years

great energy and understands farming. This
is one of the best stock farms in the county,
and is suscep tible of being divided into three
smaller farms, with buildings on each.
Ny time was necessarily limited or should
have been glad to visit other farms and meet
many more of my old friends, and shall try
to do so soon. did, however, meet our &C.
NAL friend, w. r. Reed, of Cross Roads, who
looked as though he was enjoying life. / al
so met our friend w. III. Buford, who recent
ly bought a farm joining the town of Cross
Roads, where he is busily at work. Mr..
Lowe, Roadoverseer in that district, was
found at his post repairing roads, not only
overseeing, but making full hand, and
showing good judgment i'll the manner and
permanently of his repairs. Mr.. Alex. Rey-
burn was seen at a distance, working in his
corntield; he is good farmer. Twas told he
intended becoming a candidate for Assessor
at the coming election. If such is the case,
no more competent man can be found, as his
record while Sheriff of Washington county
and Commissioner on the organization of
Iron county will testify.

great damage to the extensive fields of the

that portion of the county soon, and will
take pleasure in giving your readers the
benefit of my observations.

upon thousands pinned away, without Il
friend to cheer or single human voice to
offer encouragement. IF, per chance, they
were liberated, so emaciated We're they that
they lost most all resemblance to human be-
ings, and their own relations did did not
recogize them.
We have now light, airy prisons, where
smiling, healthy prisoners are the rule.
What u change! But are we moral people
with our wise and humane laws: Is not
crime on the increase! And do not those
very laws defeat the end-the protection OF
property, the advancement of society? Is
not our civilization too rapid?
Among the many prisoners at the Jail, the
one who interested me most was the ''mur-
dercr krinc." His case has achieved such
popularity that it is not necessary to state
his whole history. He has spent seven
years within the prison walls;s thrice been
sentenced to hang; and he now awaits his
only chance of escape from the hangman-a
decision from the Supreme Court OF the
United States. To the casual observer he
looks more like the Superintendent of the
Jail or the Mayor Of the city. Tall, erect,
rather good looking, well dressed, and hav
ing the appearance of possessing education,
intellect and refnemcntS, and the last one
who would be taken for cold, relentless,
murderer of defenseless woman. But that
slow and measured tread upon the hard
pavement, his very gait, his manner, the eX-
IRENE solitude depicted upon his face, his
ostracising himself from his companions, be-
trays at glance his crime.
/ left the prison, but could not efface from
my racking brain the desoation-thc amount
of suffering-the intense worry of that I'M
fortunate human being who stands upon one
thread which seals his future.
Respectfully yours, GEO. LOPEZ.
