TO the Edttor gf The Trtb~ne.
SIR: | gather from recent editorial in TIE

of existing laws struck od q" 1T one Tell swoop.'
beg leave 10 submit that you ar greatly mistaken
SO far as have been able to asoor ain public sent-
ment. do not think such proposition would be
carried in a single Southern State if put to the vote
Of the people. We have Democratic majority in
this city Of bout 5000 yet If a Democrat should
run for CONGRESS GU such issue alone he would
be defeated by any re poc.a5le Republican who
might oppose him.
Indeed the sentiment OF the South on this subject
seems TO be- drifting strongly and rapidly to W ere
il for the first twenty five years after the adop-
tlOn of tie CousttutiOn-Iu favor OF a reasonable
protection 10 man lfdciures Ii will be remembered
that during that period questioned either the
consttuuouality or the proprety Of protective
tariff. The first act on the subject. pa sed by the
First Congress, was framed by NJ Madison and con-
tanned the following preamble Whereas. IL Is
necessary for tie support OF the Government, FOR
the discharge OF the debts OF the United States, and
the eli, engagement and protection Of manufactures,
that duties be laid" etc. The act with this
preamble was passed by the votes of
men who had PARTICIPATED in framing
the Cor. tItution aud must have known what they
intended to authorize by that ms rument aud what
they intended 10 prohibit. We fud Mr.; Calhoun
arguing in favor of the protective tariff Of 1915
for the avOwrd purpose OF encouraging manufao-
tur.s. was not until 1920 that the w-England
and the Southern STATES began t. change plac $ on
the ques ion; AID il seems likely they will again
change, each sec ion resnmlng its on gina views
and position. The manufac cries Of the North are
now 80 thoroughly established that they may

COL. JAMES E. BAILEY.
Elm Review


Ii is the habit of third and fourth
rate newspapers, in the heat of po
litical discussion and the excite
ment of partisan feeling engendered
by an angry and rankerOus cam
paign to entertain reckless charge }
and too often to publish them, with.
out reflection. But the Nashville
American and the Louisville Cour.
ier-JOurnal occupy positions toe
prominent and distinguished i'll the
country to descend to the slums oi
political VirtuperatiOn, and there.
fore we presume that they have not
made the above grave and serious
charges, even on the authority of a
Columbia correspondent, without
having some grounds upon which
to base them. Will either of these
eminent public journals or their
Columbia correspondent be so kind
as to furnish their readers with the
grounds upon which they base their
charges Passing for the occasion
the mOdesty evinced by the Cour-
ier-Journal in undertaking TO die
tate to Tennessee Democrats the
course they should pursue in the
coming gubernatorial campaign
with the remark that Tennessee
Democrats propose to pursue the
course dictated by their best iudg-
ment and what they themselves
conceive to be for the best interests
of their State and their party, we
are yet ready to admit that the
Courier-J0urnal, like every other
newspaper, has a perfect right to
entertain and express its opinions
on Tennessee politics, and admit
ting further that coming from such
a highly respectable source they
should be respectfully received
and considered, yet when that pa
per steps out OF the province of re-
spectacle and decent journalism to
make personal attack on eX-Sena-
tor Bailey, his friends in Tennessee
have a right to demand to be pre-
sented with the evidences by which
it proposes to sustain the attack,
and if they are not produced the at
tack OF course recoils upon the head
of him who makes it. We ask to
be informed upon what ground the
editor bases his charge that "if the
bolters put a ticket in the field they
cannot hope to get a tIthe of the
Democratic vote, and their object
can only be the election of Haw-
kins." Now here is a distinct
charge that "the boIters," and OF
course Col. Bailey is one of them,
have for their object, i'm refusing to
endorse a platform subversive Of
every Democratic precedent and
principle i'm Tennessee, and absO-
lutely ruinous to The best interests
of her citizens for all time TO come,
an intention to elect Hawkins. We
beg leave to assure the Journal that
we have no such object, that we re-
gret as deeply as anyone can the
necessity for pursuing such a course,
that we cannot forsake time-hOnOr-
ed Democratic principles and, that
under our solemn convictions Of
duty, we cannot cOnscientiOusly
support platform which places the
gallant old volunteer State of Ten
nessee in the advanced column OF
reputation. And we cannot agree
with our distinguished contempora-
ry when he asserts that the accept

sitiOn from the creditors vi the

Some lines on many garden flower,

Triflas like these, assume power
To please, when offered by a friend.
They are Gods best gifts, the beautifu

In every cline, IN every age
Mankind have felt their pleasing sway,
And lines to them still deck the page

If hopes and fervent wishes could
Control the futures mystic veil,
There's not a flower, nor plant, but should
Have virtues such as you'd reveal.
Like the "sweet rose,'' you charm the view,
Like "HoneysuckIe" cheer the heart.
Your friends should be like "Joy," true,
And Everlasting" where thou art.
AS the Upright flower" which poets say
Turns on its stem, the sun to greet,
Should you, wher'er your path might stray
Continued joy and sunshine meet.
But, should misfortune dim your road,
May you be like that "lovely flower"
Which, CT ushed beneath, heavy load,
,eathes secret sweets of balmy power.
And, as through sunshine you may go,
Or bow beneath a1Iliction's night,
May He, who bids the Lily grow,
Direct and guide your course Alright.

A NASHVILLE correspondent of
the New York Times reports spi-
cy interview between Senator Har.
ris and Gen. John III. Savage, as
follows: .. ...
The next Legislature will also
choose a United States Senator To
succeed Isham q. Harris, and it il
not improbable that they will elect
Republican,, certainly not n Dem
ocrat like Colyar, Harris or Bate.
1Sham q. Harris, now the mainstay
of the readjustcr Democrats, il q
politician of much sagacity and n
stump speaker of great force and
power. His political fortunes are
all staked ON the election of Bate.
and he intends to make thorough
canvass of the State. After the
nomination of Bate, Harris sent for
Savage, the leader i'm brains and
audacity of the regulators. They
have been at enmity for years, but
as harmony was the watchword, il
was thought desirable to patch up a
peace. Harris asked Savage il he
was pleased with the nomination
and platform. Savage said neither
was just what he desired, but he
would support them. "And can
count on your support as a candi-
date for reelection to the Senate 2"
asked Harris. "I'll be--if you
can," said Savage bluntly: 81 in.
tend to speak in every county in the
State against you. You have done
little good for Tennessee during
your stay in Washington, and /
would advise you to retire to your
Texas farm and allow a better man
to be chosen as your successor" ;"
Savage will himself be a candidate,
and, while it is not probable he can
be elected, he can secure enough
pledges to prevent the reelection Of
Senator Harris, and this much he
will do. From this review Of the
situation ii will be seen that the
canvass now opened promises to be
one Of very much more than Ordi-
nary interest. I
