The Courier-Journal says letthe farm
ers, who have sheep, observe that the
patriotic tarifEtinkers reduced the tax
on imported wool from two TO four cents
a pound for the benefit Of the wooden
manufacturers, but they did not take
the taxes off manufactured wool to any
appreciate degree. They increased the

The Meridian Mercury is reminded
that somehow the railroad clause in the
Democratic platform and an active sup
port of it by free and unbought press

railroads worth cent.
The American Register, Democratic
organ at Washington, says that there are
in the treasury $1O5, PSI, 1913 in silver and
and $179,6S5,00S in gold. 1t remains
there because the people prefer the paper
representative of metal to the metal it.

yond this there is no issue between
Greenbackers and Democrats. Both
would exterminate the banks and the

Il. B. Hayes for governor of Ohio is an
evidence that there are people in that
state sufficiently orthodox to believe in
the doctrine of the resurrection.
We endorse the declaration that the
South is willing to compromise with the
East If that section will manfully accent
the inevitable, and move its mills down
to the cotton fields. Instead of PLEADING
with railroad companies for lower
treights, they can avoid them altogether

every man must be regarded as good as
any other, with no favorites, and no bar.
