Sick Fowls.

When fowls appear out cf order
and lose their appetite, a change Of
food is often sufficient 10 restore
them. The food should be mixed
with a little llnseed meal, and a small
quantity of pepper and a small guam
tity of copperas dissolved in their
drinking water would be useful.
Fowls suffer more from want of clean
water, and from badly ventilated and
unclean roosting places, than from
any other cause. Every hennery
should have a hospital attached, to
which sick fowls should be removed
as soon as they begin to droop, or
their wattles OF combs turn pale.

PROTECTION ARGUMENTS.


The powerlessness of protection to bring
taken system is continually exposed in
the journals of that monopolistic faith. The
St. Louis Age of Steel, OF this week, under
takes to show that without protection our
manufactures would be victimized by Eng
land. 1t argues that the English have
dense population that works at low wages.
Here the workmen are more independent,
and if manufacturing is not profitable they
will turn to something else. Suppose we
have free trade, our manufactures could moi
meet foreign competition; our manufactures
would die out, millions would be lost in con-
sequence, thousand would bt thrown out of
employment; we should bay our manufac-
tured goods from Europe, paying in grain
and cotton. When the English had no
American competition TO encounter she
would put up prices and we should have to
pay them. This argument assumes that with
free trade we should stop all manufacturing
and be helplessly dependent upon the En-
glish. When we had no such incubus as
protection" were we thus helpless, and was
England thus able to put up prices at her
will? The reply to this shows the fsllacy of
the argument-no such state of things
existed. With free trade we should,
as we have done before, manufacture
all that it would pay to manufacture,
and we should abandon that which was profit
less As far as We had to buy from Europe
we should have the advantage among COM
peting nations of buying from those who
sold cheapest. If, under this competition,
Eogland accomplished the feat of putting
prices up, then it would pay us 70 manufac-
ture for ourselves, and we should do so.
With a moderate taxation on material, with
power to buy our own ships and gain the
profit of the ocean freight business, we should
be able to compete with Europe in way we
cannot do now we are weighed down with
an excessive tariff. If fair tariff would
make it Improbable for us to manufacture,
and would cause the loss of millions because
the poor, weakly, backboneless, American
living is unable
to maintain himself, then somebody else is
maintaining him, as his business will not
support him, Tor our st. Louis contemporary
says: "Our manufacturing interest cannot
compete with foreign competition" If
American manufactures are in this drivelipg,
imbecile condition, who does support the
that are not supported by
their business? OF course they are supported
by the farmer, the merchant, the storekeeper
and the laborer Trade would not suffer by
these classes from supporting man
ufacturing monopolits.

repeal of this iniquItous measure was the
work of the PEOPLE. The resolves which the
boilers hold up in justification Of their con-
duct had much TO do with the passage of the
sixty-and-six bill. But this bill was passed in
defiance of the popular protest. 1t has not the
Endorsement of the people, and it will share
the fate of the funding bill. These facts
demonstrate that the tsxpaying people are
determined to settle the State debt on their
own terms and in their own way. An adj
justment upon any other terms would pro-
crastinate fual settlement, ard increase the
possibility of reputation, for all must adj
nit that the frequent discussion of this sub
ject, and the attempt of the bondholders TO
fasten upon the people ruinOus burdens when
they had the power, have demoralized the
friends of State credit and msde our people 30
familiar with the charge of reputation that
the epithet has no longer any terrors. Expe-
rience has shown that the merely high-sound-
ing resolutions of the politicians cannot settle
the State debt. Now that we have plat
form in accord with the demands of the peo-
pie ve may expect settlement that will be
final and irreyocable.

LET THE PEOPLE BE HEARD.

The Democracy in almost every county in
Tennessee are organizing for the August
election. Conventions are being held to
nominate candidates for the various county
Offices. The delegates to these conventions
will be fresh from the people, and there will
be large turnout in the election of dele
gates, az the candidates are generally the
most popular men in the country. Now. in
order to show the bolters. how little they re-
hect public sentiment, it is hoped that each
county nominating convention will pass
upon the action of the late Democratic con-
vention. The people should speak out ON
this question through their county conven-
tions. They should either condemn the ac-
ton Of he Democratic State Convention or
ratify the platform and the nomination of
General Bate. This has been the practice of
both political parties in every State in the
Union, and it is hoped it will be observed
now in Tennessee. If The people will speak
out bending the August elections, Democrats
who are in doubt will understand their duty
in the November canvass. On the 9th of
July. in the County Convention, Shelby will
sneak out in no uncertain sound as TO what
our people think of the platform and the
nominee.

Differences - Minister LOWelPs
Muss-MarFeH's Case.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The secretary of
war has under consideration the case OF
Major General G. x. Warren, now lieutenant
colonel of engineers, who was relieved from
the command of the Fifth army corps at the
battle Of Five Parks, Virginia, in 1860, by
General Sheridan. He made several efforts
to have the matter Investigated, but without
avail, till in 1879 when President Hayes
appointed court of inquiry. Major-General
Hancock, as president of the court, COM
pleted report few months ago, and the
record of the case was submitted to Judge
Advocate General Swain for review. 1t Is
understood that the result of the entire in
vestigation is that there is nothing further to
be done in the matter. The court OF inquiry
found that General Sheridan had not ex-
ceeded his authority, but that in one or two
instances he had misjudged the conduct of
General Warren. While the evidence failed
to justify trial of General Sheridan by
court-msrtial, it vindicsted in several par
Iiculars the course pursued by General
Warren in that campaign. The judge
advocate general is said to approve the
general finding of the court. 1t is not a case
requiring further action. The record in the
case comprises over 7000 pages of foolscap,
the largest that ever passed through the
bureau Of military Justice.

The address of the boilers is the weakest
document ever issued by disgruntled poll
ticians- 1t is tame and spiritless, totally
wanting in that energy necessary to inspire
enthusiasm. Indeed, it is the wall of despair
Two years ago the Low-Tax boilers went into
the canvass with zeal and activity that
meant business. They had the people at
their backs. and if the supporters of Judge
Wright had dared to proclaim that they
favored settlement of tine State debt al
higher rate than fifty and four, Wilson would
have received more votes than were cast for
Wright. The vote which Wilson received
under such unfsvorable circumstances shows
that the people are determined to settle the
State debt on their own terms. Judge
Wright was the nominee of his maryland
lad the advantage of an exciting canvass,
when Democrats believed that Hancock
would be elected, and for selfish motives de-
sired TO be placed on record as in alliance
with the party organization. From day to
day the Democratic press that supported the
regular nominee assured the boilers that BY
the election of Wright the State debt
would be settled at figures approx
imsting fifty-and-four, and that the tri-
umph of Hawkins would turn the
taxpaying people over to the mercy OF the
rapacious bondholders. The vote which
Wilson received under all these disadvan-
tages shows that he had the sympathies of
the people. The platform adopted at Nash
vile on the 22d instant reflects the voice of
the people, and the boilers are facilitating
reputation in spurning the popular will, as
expressed in tones of thunder through the
recent convention. In their address the
boilers show that the Democratic politicians
have been resolving for twelve years to pay
the State debt. This is true; but while the
conventions have been thus resolving, the |
people, the source of all power, have been |
resolving that much of the State debt was |
the product of fraud; that the deyastations !
OF war and the shrinkage in values had SO
impoverished them that they could not pay
over fifty cents on the State debt without |
con6scation of their property by the tax
gatherer. The funding bill of 1874 was the
work Of the politicians who had been re-
solving to protect the credit of the State at
all hazards, and the repeal of the funding
bill was the resolve of the people, who
preferred to take care of themselves The one
bill was inspired by the
resolutions about State honor to which the
boilers alluds in their address. But the

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
BATEsvILLE, June 27.-The past two
weeks have been excessively hot. Coats
are a nuisance in commercial circles, even,
and fans and shade are in great demand. We
are willing to endure it, however, since SO
much depends upon this hot weather. The
crops are coming out astonishingly since they
laid aside their overcoats for their busters.
The prospect in Pamela county has not
been more hattering for several years past,
and it is Frightening every day. There is a
larger acreage of both corn and cotton than
for decade past, and with the exception OF
the long, cold spring everything has been
favorable to their growth. 1t is now thought
that, il no disaster overtakes the present
corn crop in this county, it can be bought at
twenty-five cents per bushel next October. A
good crop, and Pamela county is on foot
once more.
There is no stir now in political circles.
General Chalmers is the acknowledged
champion of the Republicans, Greenbackers
and Independent Democrats in this section.
Some of the old war horses are smelling the
battle from afar and contemplate a fierce
clash and conflict between Chalmers and the
