"THE TARIFF"

We are sometimes asked why we do
not give our views on the Tariff"
In the first place, we have no time to
devote to the study of this seemingly
important, though unfortunate ques-
ton. Secondly, if we had, and were
to attempt to give our opinions, they
would just as likely be incorrect as cor
rect. We regard the discussion of
this question, at this particular time,
as unfortunate and inappropriate. If
the Democratic party desire to elect a
Democratic President and a Democrat
ic Congress this fall, they have no time
to dispute about the "Tariff," or other
questions which tend to divide and
weaken the party. 1t will be time
enough to discuss these questions after
the party shall have come into power.
Select your best men with conservative
views, for President and for Congress,
honest and trustworthy; such as will
command the entire strength and sup.
port of the Democratic party and
merit the confidence of all the amerl.
can people. In other words select none
but good men for Office and with one
accord elect them: Then may you
discuss the Tariff" To do so now is
dangerous to the success of the party

sowing so much clover and other grass
seed this spring. But when they pro-
vide themselves with the grasses and
the improved machinery for saving the
seed, then will they put an end to inn
porting from other States. We hope
to see Tennessee this year save enough
and to spare. We would suggest to
our farmers to prepare and save their
second crops of clover for seed, as far
possible. The first crop may be cut
and saved for hay, and the second
crop for seed. All that is necessary to
be done with the second crop of clover,
after the seed has matured, is to cut
and dry and it will be ready for the
huller. Warren county will be sup,
piled with at least one good Victor hull
Ter, and more, perhaps. So there will
be an opportunity for oil to have their
seed hulled by the latest and best i'm.
proved machinery.

BECAUSE 1T WILL PAY.

Why are the enterprising and wide
awake citizens of Warren county will.
ing to be taxed to build good roads?
Because they believe every dollar thus
judiciously invested would return to
the property holder two for one. If
we did not need the roads as a conven-
fence, even then it would pay as an in,
vestment. Suppose the State of Ten
nessee had good free turnpikes all over
it, what would be the result? Why,
in less than ten years real estate would
be nearly doubled in value; a new life
would pervade every department of
business. Not only would new man.
ufacturing establishments spring up to
manufacture our wood, iron and cotton,
but a new life and interest would be
given to the agricultural interests Of
the country. Fortunate Is the farmer
who has a home market for all his
products. We have the water power
and the raw material for a large
amount of capital and operatives, who
are kept away on account Of our mar,
row and contracted ideas of public en-
terprise; such as public roads and pub.
lie schools. If we would show more
liberal disposition and willingness to
help ourselves, Others would be more
ready and willing to come among us
and help us build up our waste places
and pay the taxes we would necessari-
ly incur in building roads and bridges.
