A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

State canvass the Democratic lead
ers of Tennessee might do well to
take account of stock, foot up profits
and losses political, and see
whether the last ten years opera

We, in passing, suggest few items:
a. An increase of expenses of
the State Government over Haw-
kins' administration of about 800
per cent.
(2) Several hundred thousand
dollars of the peoples money, col
lected from them in the form Of
taxes, being used by banks favored
by the State House Junto, as ''busi-
ness capital"

Commission bill to do anything but
unsettle business, stop new enter
prises and impose considerable
burden on the tax payers.

debt settlement bill to either settle

scheme has practically stopped

so far, it will require about a quar-

into the account.

owe the alarm of the railway mana

convinced me that a great work of

Of ultimate complete success. Sixty
years ago no voice was raised against

as a rule, our farmers are strictly

COZ u in giving TO the party a
Ank in our platform which would
nave the same meaning all over the
Union. This is desirable. But, to
give Us this honest platform would
have required a more united Demo
cratic vote than we had any right
to look for when the returns of the
congressional elections showed a
Democratic majority of sixty-nine
in the House Of Representatives.
When we succeed in getting Dem
ccraJic president and a Democratic
Congress, we may expect fair adj
iustment Of the tariff and a general
reform in other matters, looking to
the interests of the people.
1t is folly to talk about ruling
Randall out of the Democratic par
" when we make no complaint of
Southern Democrats who are warm
advocates of our present banking
system. The banks have done more
than the tariff in concentrating the
wealth Of the country on the few.
1t is the banking system that has
built up a monied aristocracy which
controls our elections and appoints
our judges Of the L. 5. Supreme
Court.
While we regard tariff reform as
4 great necessity, we think there
are other evils that first demand
correction by the Democratic party.
We can never hope to destroy mo
nopolies until we can succeed in de
feating the Republican party. Our
chances would be as good for secur-
ing tariff reform under the leader
ship of Tildcn or Randall as they
would under Morrison or Mcdonald.
