THE Covington Call boasts of "fir-
ing into the liquor men and liquor
dealers" Turn your battery on the
grand army of liquor drinkers, brother
Townsend. They are the real enc
mics of temperance and when you
have vanquished that noble band, the
liquor dealers will have to shut up
shop for want of customers. AS long
as there is a demand for any article of
commerce there are going to be man.
ufacturers and sellers of that article.
The way to stop the liquor traffic is to
stop the demand, and the only way to
stop the demand is to make liquor
drinking disreputable. That will re-
quire time, but it is the only radical
remedy for the evil of drunkenness
that so afflicts the country.

THE sensible and patriotic negro
citizen should understand that the
decision in the civil rights cases has
abridged none of his privileges and
effects no discrimination against him.
The amendments to the constitution
that made him citizen abolished all
distinctions under the law, and in the
statutes of the general government,
and those of the states, no regard
whatever is had to race; the Caucacian
is given no rights that are not allowed
the negro. The civil rights bill went
beyond this and sought to make n
a privileged class of the negroes. Sara
tOga hotels could refuse entertainment
to Isrealites and any Objectionable
white person could be refused admit
lance to railroad cars, but no inn
keeper or common carrier could re-
fuse accommodation to the over-petted
black man. We repeat that the sensi-
BILE and patriotic negro citizen should
understand that law which abridged
the rights of individuals and corpora
tons in order to give him special
privilege, was the worst kind of class
legislation and threatened the liberties
of the whole people.

THE ELECTIONS.


The general result of the elections
Tuesday gives the Democrats further
cause for rejoicing, though the news
from New York is not as encouraging
as it might have been. Malone is
gloriously defeated in Virginia, and
that alone is good enough for one day.
The Democrats have carried Mississip-
pi and Maryland, too, and the. South
is stillsolid. In New York the Dem
ocrats have elected the State officers
with the exception of Maynard, candi-
date for Secretary of State, who seems
to have been personally unpopular.
The Republicans have both branches
of the Legislature, and that probably
means that Conkling will go back to
the United States Senate. The New
York voter don't seem to be much of a
politician and generally casts his ballot
more for the man than the party. The
Democrats should take due notice of
that fact when they make up their
Presidential ticket. Two years ago
Cleveland beat Folger in New York
nearly 100000 votes, the largest ma
jority ever known in any one State,
and now Carr leads his Democratic
adversary by 1900 votes. In Massa-
chusetts Old Ben Butler has been
ditched By 10000 majority, and we are
heartily glad of it, though it cost a
Republican victory in that State Ben
was no Democrat, and his attempt to
fasten himself on the party was a dam
age to its prospects. He, Malone and
little Bun Chalmers, of Mississippi, are
now the most insignificant and con-
temptible men that ever figured be-
fore the American public. Each of
them enjoyed temporary success
that was purchased by unprincipled
and cheap demagogy, and they have
met the fate such men deserve. Albeit,
Democrat, is elected Governor of New
Jersey by 5000 majority. The Re-
publicans carried Pennsylvania, Ne
braska and Minnesota.
The result in New York leaves the
Presidential election of next year in
sufficient doubt to make that event a
very interesting subject for specula-
ton. On the whole, the Democrats
still have the best of it, and we believe
they are marching on to capture the
White House.

NATIONAL AID TO pUsLic SCHOOLS.

We fail to discover any reasonable
grounds on which the South could op-
pose National aid to public education.
One of the greatest needs of this Sec
ton is a better system of public
schools and the State governments are
not equal to the undertaking of estab-
fishing them. We believe that the
State government could do more than
they have done in this important mat
ter, but that furnishes no reason why
aid from the federal government
should be peremptorily refused. 1t
would not put the South in the atti-
tude Of padper or mendicant to so
icit and accept such benefits from the
United States. The general govern
ment has raised large and illiterate
class of people in the South from the
condition of slaves to that of citizens.
These people are voters, jurors and
eligible to Office holding. In many
parts of the South they constitute a
large majority of the population and
1t is essential to the welfare of the
country that they be elevated above
the dense ignorance that now charac-
terizes them as a class. Is it not
duty that the federal government
owes the South to educate these peo-
pie in whose hands it has placed the
ballot, and on whom it has bestowed
the privileges of citizenship?
The disgrace that the South should
wish to avoid should not be the sup
posed humiliation of accepting aid for
purposes of education, but rather an
other exhibit of illiteracy such as was
shown to exist in this section by the
figures of the last census. We refer
to illiteracy among whites which, to
our shame be it said, had considerably
increased in the preceding decade
Ten million dollars was wrung from
the South by the United States since
the war in an unlawful cotton tax.
Let that be restored in money for our
public schools.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA.

Every now and then some free trade
crank shows his imbecility by urging
the example of England us a proof
that import duties could be abolished
in America without material detri-
ment to the welfare of this country.
The interest of England and that OF
the United States are Numerically
opposite in this particular. Great
Britain is a tight bound island where
lands are scarce and practically I'M
purchasable. The area of the United
Kingdom Is but little larger than that
OF the state of Texas, but supports
large population, the major portion of
which is dependant on labor in facto-
ries for support. Factory labor is
drug on the market, and is conse-
quently very cheap. There are min
ers and factory hands in England who
work for mere pittance; they hope
for nothing but n bare subsistence.
Their ancestors have worked in the
same way for centuries before them
and they know nO other life. England
has in this way become the manufac-
turing center of the world, her great
wealth is in her factories and her ex-
lstence rs nation virtually depends
on finding a foreign market for her
manufactured goods. 1t would be
impossible for any other nation to
compete with England in her home
market, and she consequently needs
no protection. To the contrary, nearly
all of the raw material for manufac
turing purposes is imported into that
country and must be brought in free
of duty in order TO enable her manu-
facturers to undersell the rest of the
world us they always have done.
A free trade policy is essential to
England's welfare and the same rea-
sons that make free trade desirable
there, render protective policy nee
essary in the United States. With an
area more than one hundred times as
large rs that of England we have only
twenty million more population.
Lands are cheap here and farming
remunerative. The price of farm
labor is everywhere higher in Ameri-
ca than the prices paid miners and
factory hands in England. 1t is i'm
possible, then, for American manufac-
turers to compete with those of Great
Britain in cheapness of production.
We produce the raw material ut home,
too, and the duty on that excludes the
raw material of foreign countries and
protects the producer here.
The United States wants no protect
i've policy that will enable our manu-
faCturcrs to make an enormous prof
it on their goods, such Il tariff the
Republican party has imposed ON the
country. but we do need tariff that
will enable American manufacturers to
sell goods in the United States as
cheap as English manufacturers can
sell them here. The tariff necessary
to supply an adequate revenue, proper
ly adjusted, will do that, and that is
what the Democratic party wants.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1883-11-10

To make the tariff question an issue
in the election of the Speaker of the
next House will be another example
of the unwisdom of the Democratic
party. A defeated faction is always
disturbing element, and if either Ran
dali or Carlisle is beaten on a fixed
political issue, the followers of the I'M
successful candidate will consider
themselves defeated, and a spirit of
resentment will be kindled against
the victorious party. The truth is,
there is no substantial division among
Democrats on the tariff issue. The
apparent difference is the creation of
the Courier-Journal; that paper has
been trying to read Randall out of the
party in order to elect Carlisle. This
was very mistaken policy and has
damaged Carlisle's prospects more
than anything that could have been
said or done against him. The Speak
ership election should be made on
purely personal grounds, and on such
grounds we have no doubt that the
brilliant and able young statesman
from the Southwest will be chosen to
fill the place. If Randall is elected he
will owe his good fortune to those who
have tried to put him out of the party.

Peterson,s Mnqaz,ae.

The closing of the year and the
coming of Christmas is suggested by
the arrival of Peterson's Magazine
for December. This number of
that most excellent periodical is
more than usually attractive. From
the steel engraving frontispiece to
the end of the volume it is full of
interest. The engraving itself is
not only pretty picture but work
of art and we'll worth preserving.
There is, also, another elegant en-
craving and very pretty wood cut.
The usual fashion plates and pat
terms accompany the volume and a
beautiful colored pattern of trellis
work is presented to the subscribers
of the magazine as a Christmas Gift.
The literary make up of the De-
cember number is very fair; it is
replete with good poems and inter
esting stories. Published by Chas.

Pulaski Citizen: There is hope for Thur
man. The papers have got him lettering
and palsied like Tilden.
Murfreesboro News: Randall probably has
the advantage of his opponents, and 1t is
generally admitted that the man who beats
Randall will be Speaker.
Bowling Green Democrat: s. s. Cox is
confident OF being elected Speaker. So is
Carlisle. So is Randall. Confidence is cheap,
but 1t takes the votes to elect.
Bowling Green Gazette If Mr.. Randall is
defeated, in all probability, this will seal
Mr.. Carlisle's defeat and some compromise
candidate will be the lucky man.
