THERE is no denial Of the fact that
tariff protection creates an artificial
foundation for the manufacturing
business of the country, and its ben
efits instead of being enjoyed by
labor all alike is intended for and en-
joyed by only one class of it, If in
deed, by any class OF labor at all. 1t
is for the advantage of the man with
money, and it certainly is wrong
policy to put the whole country I'M
der tribute for the benefit of GER
tain class Of capitalists. 1t Is a
wrong principle in legislation that
would place burden upon one por-
ton of the people to benefit another
portion. The natural laws of bust
ness ought not to be disturbed by
such monstrous policy, and such a
one as discriminates between the
rich manufacturer and the poor
farmer. If the agricultural laborcr
received any of the advantages of
protection, there might be some ex-
cuse for the heresy, but he don't.
His products are marketed against
the world. His bushel Of wheat or
bale of cotton is worth just what
they can be bought for in any mar
ket In the known world. This is
the farmers condition, but, If his
neighbor gets his bale of cotton and
makes it into cotton goods this sys-
tenn Of protection operates to bestow
upon the manufactured product a
certain value over and above the
cos. of production and the legitimate
profits of the business, and this ad
ditional value is just as gift to the
manufacturer burden which is
borne for his benefit, and generally
by the farmers as they constitute
the great majority Of consumers OF
this country. The agricultural PEG
pie of this country owe it to them
selves to throttle any such vicious,
pernlcious, and unjust principle in
American legislation, and one which
discriminates against them, aud
straps upon their shoulders burdens
which are placed there TO enlarge
somebody else's profits, and MOI only
should they crush out the pernicious
principle itself, but also the party
which fosters and maintains il.

Arkansas school for the Blind.

The following was transferred
from the columns Of the Little Rock
Democrat, and should be carefully
read and studied by every citizen o.
Pope county:
For several years past efforts have
been made to get each legislature te
make sufficient app. opriation to
meet the urgent needs OF these insti-
buttons. The lunatic asylum and
deaf mute institute were given the
preference, and sufficient approprla
tions made to place these institutions
on plane equal to that Of any State
in the South. The State was toe
poor to attend to all at orce, and
while the two last named institutions
were being established barely
enough was gwen tho former to keep
it In existence.
Through the economical manage
ment of the Board of Directors and
the principal, Prof. Patten, it has
been kept intact, but the skill OF
man will fail to keep it up much
longer if the next legislature shonld
fail to recognize Its pressing needs.
Our best citizens have watched the
old buildings for years and con-
slant dread has been felt, lest at any
time fire would break out and con
sumo half the inmates with the old
hull. The frame structures are old,
dilapidated, too small and perfectly
unsafe. Out of 1000 blind children
in the State, forty or fifty are gather
ed up and crowded into this death
trap to be taught useful arts by
which they may become self-sus-
tanning. Prof. Patten and his assis
tants give the unfortunates all the
attention and care possible and make
their quarters as comfortable as
could be under the circumstances.
But the decayed old buildings can.
not last much longer. Blind child
rem cannot be found who will take
the necessary risk of lives that will
follow a few more years of neglect.
Our next legislature will certainly
come to their relief. No more patch
work on the Little Rock street inn
provement plan should be INDUCED
in. Let the old dilapidatod trap be
torn away and large substantial
brick building reared IN Its place.
We are able TO do II. The State
will be proud Of it, the blind benefit
ed, and the good name Of our people
will gain additional respect among
our sister states.

not one section over another nor one

SOME people know how to take
care of their own business, others
don't. When you find men who have
made money and are doing well, you
naturally conclude that they belong
to the first class. When you see a
man who is slipshodden and trifiing,
who Is without money and credit,
you naturally conclude he belongs to
the last. But what Is to be thought
OF the last man lecturing the Others
in regard to the management OF
their affairs, and yet we doubt not
that an instance of this sort can be
thought Of without any great diff

The idea that the laDoring people
OF this country have any interest
which need to be specially fostered
IN contradistinction to the interests
of any other portion of our people,
is wrong in conception and evil IN
its tendency. Every honorable bus
mess in the land comes In for Its
full share of our care and solicitude,
and the interests of one is the inter-
ests Of all, and as far as laborlng
people are concerned, we are all that.
We may not labor in the same way,
but we labor all the same, and the
idea is erroneous wrong that would
seek distinction among the people,
and especially to build prejudice
upon.

The campaign just closed has been
one noted for its big parades and
torchlight professions. For It's bril-
liant oratory and lavish expenditure
Of money. For many things it will
be remembered as remarkable
campaign, chief among them that
the republican candidate made a
personal canvass, thing frowned
upon just few years ago, and was
forced to do more explaining than
any candidate who ever run foI
President. 1t will also be remember
ed for the great Bellshazzar feast OF
the Millionaires and Monopollsts
given to Blaine at Delmonieo's in
New York on the goth ult., and Cor
many other things vicious in their

The Russellville Democrat., 1884-11-06

The great election is over and at
tention can now be turned to some
thing else. The fact of the business
is there is but little money in poll
tics any way, save to the men who
get the place. The reason, and
about the only reason, for which the
people should give their attention to
political matters, is to keep bad men
and place hunters out. This done,
and the people have about as much
protection as they can expect from
politics. Taxes is something just
as necessary in public affairs as ex-
penses with individuals. Public
concerns cannot be maintained with
out them, and it requires about so
much to carry on the government,
and that much will have TO be paid,
let those administer who may. There
are those who seem to think that a
farmers mlsfortunes can all be found
in taxation, bank discounts, ect.
These generally are the ones who
have an AK upon the grind stone,
while they attempt to work the crank
upon popular prejudice. AS a fact
1T can easily be proved that few
loads of manure on the farmers cot
ton or corn patch, will make more
difference in his personal advance
ment, than all the demagoguery
which a moon eyed visionary could
talk in a year. AS national policy
and general principle, it is correct
to insist upon the reduction of tax
alton to the lowest limit consistent
with the public demands. This will
of course tell upon an individual!
farmers prosperity to some extent,
but such an extent as to hardly be
perceptible, and the man is certain,
ly engaged in poor business who
would teach the people the absurd
ity that all their burdens could be
lifted by plunging into politics on
the line OF class distinction. That
man is an injury. He teaches the
people to look to the wrong source
for relief. The proper thing to do
is to work out your own salvation,
if not with fear and trembling, with
courage and determination, for after
you have tried politics till dooms
day and failed to find the promised
riches, then you will discover the
fact that, II you have any salvation
at all, you will have to work 1t out
by your own efforts instead OF poll
ties, Missionaries to the contrary not
withstanding.

The Election.

AS is indicated by our kilograms,
the country has gone for Cleveland
and Hendricks. The news as it
Ieaped from the telegraph here at
12:40 Tuesday night made such a
ground swell Of JOY among the dem
ocrats that tribute was laid forth
with upon keg Of powder, and IN
able to herald their joy to the size
of their feelings WITH their natural
organs, brought this to their assist
ance to make the welkins ring and
the hills and holows reverberate
with their glad voice of victory.
The following are the telegrems:
Special to the DEMOCRAT.
LITTLE Rock, Nov. 4, 10 p. m.-The
election passed off quietly all over the
country, with but few casualties. Some
trouble in Cincinnati in which heads
were broken is all as far as heard from.
Rain fell in many States. There is no
doubt that Cleveland has carried New
York, 1t is merely a question of major
| ity, indications pointing to 10000. Very
little news has been received from In
diana. New Jersey is doubtful. Indi-
cations are that Connecticut will go
democratic. Buffers vote in Michigan
Is larger than expected and may give
the State to the Democrats. The South
ern States are solid. Ohio's October
majority is being reduced. Ohio is
safe for the republicans. Steady dem
ocratic gains are noticed all over the
country. The latest indications are
that Cleveland is elected.

WITH a great deal of pleasure We
allude to the business men of Atkins
because they are men of solid worth
They appreciate honesty and fail
dealing, and we take pleasure in

Using patrons, because the fact car
ries with it their valuable endorse
ment, and we take delight in trying
to build up the interests Of these ex-
cellent citizens of our neighbor town
and of Pope county. The DEMOCRAT
runs on broad gnage. 1t recognizes
the fact that its mission is to the
people at large, to serve the public
interests and the public good. 1t
delights to hold up the hands OF
all men who are in honorable occu-
lions in any part OF our country
The Russellville Democrat., 1884-11-06

EsTHERE may be some who think
that Ben Buffers election, the la
borers' friend socalled, would have
been of more advantage to the labor
ing men of this section than the
beautiful fall which we have enjoyed
Yet, it is comforting to know that
their number has the quality of pow
erful smallness. Good husbandry,
with fair seasons, will beat Ben, OF
any Of his class who want place, ey-
cry time in farmers prosperity.
