THE Brooklyn Union says: at
Is not strange that the negroes of the
South should be alarmed over the
news Of Cleveland's election, and
that many Of them should actually
fear that they are in danger of be-
ing reduced again to servItude. For
twenty years the constituencies
leaders of the Republican party in
the South have dinned into the ears
OF these ignorant and credulOus
Blacks the assertion that, ifa Demo-
cratic President came in, they
would be put back into slavery, in
order to keep the negro vote solid
and maintain themselves in power.
One of the best features of the re-
suit is that the African race in this
country will now escape from the
sway of this terrible nightmare"

We need not go further into the
returns of former years to show by
comparison with the result of the
late campaign, that n few more
years OF management similar to that
of the ring now in Possession, will
leave the Democracy stranded in
this state. The party has made no
positive gain and has relatively lost
heavily. The talk about "demO-
cratic apathy" in the light of the re-
turns of 1884. il mere nonsense. The
total vote viii be $1,000 to 10000
greater than that OF 1880, but the
democrats either fail to get any Of
the new voters or they lost rs many
MS they gained. Their vote either
remains stationary or drops off at
the succeeding contests.

The Inevitable Future Of Tennessee.
HartsvIIIe Seminal


Tennessee, from the sheer force
OF position, must become a stock
raising and manufacturing State to
attain the commercial prosperity
that is desirable. She cannot COM
pete with the States lying in the
wheat belt In the production of that
cereal. These are south and west
of the great lakes, where the WIN
ter SHOWS nOurish the wheat alrea-
dy sOwn, and spring wheat is
success. Just south OF these is the
corn belt, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa
and Missouri. In certain localities
we can raise fair corn, but We GER
tainly cannot compete successfully
with rich prairie country, where
one hand tends, with the aid of
machinery, sixty acres, and raises
fifteen or twenty barrels to the acre.
South of this Is the tobacco belt,
Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, etc
Tobacco does not grow in paying
crops south of the Cumberland.
Along the gulf we have sugar and
rice, further north cotton, but
cotton in this State is lamentable
failure.
Tennessee is crossed diagonalIy
from northeast to. southwest by four
great bands Of iron ore, respective
ly, at the foot OF the Unakas. just
east of the Cumberland plateau,
on the Cumberland plateau, and
along the Tennessee rim.
In England, all their iron is made
from ore that in Tennessee we re-
gard as worthless, and is nowhere
with Us made from ore that yields
less than 10 per cent. of pig iron.
Convenient to this iron ore we
have the free or sandstone rock,
from which the furnace is built and
its hearth laid. Limestone rock is
more than equally abundant. From
this the fiu1 for the ore is obtained,
and we have wood for charcoal and
coal for coke within easy reach, and
In endless abundance. There our
wealth as State lies.
While we do not underestimate
our farming Interests, yet we repeat
Tennessee is not primarily a farm
ing State. but her iron, her coal, her
rock, her timber and her rich pro-
fusion Of natural wealth decides
that her future lies in The Develop
ment OF her natural resources, in
her increased railroad facilities and
in her manufacturing establish
ments.
Free trade Is a fallacy. 1t is q
serious policy for Us TO advocate.
Have we not Il sample of how pa
tientiy its advocates endure its eff
fectS Just now. Wheat at 80 cents
causes our farmers TO despair OF
farming AZ an occupation from
which to realize profits. Yet we
are told, let the mechanic quit his
trade, turn farmer if he cannot
make a living by his tools, and
thus break down the best customer
really our farmers hlve, and still
further lower the price of the far
mer's products.
We aren0t a farming State. Prov
idence has written the word manu-
facture in bands OF iron from the
Unakas to the Mississippi, and there
lies our greatest prosperity.

President Cleveland and the COlOrsd PeO-

pie.
President Cleveland was asked
by an Associated Press reporter il
he was aware of the delusIOn among
the colored people of the South that
change in the Administration
would unfavorably affect their con-
dItIon.
Gov. Cleveland replied: Eyes, /
have been astOnished at the state
ment that there WAS an apprehen-
sion existing among the colOred
people that in some way their
rights, now secured to them under
the laws and constitution Of the
United States, were in danger from
the election of a Democratic Presi-
dent. j am even toldt that some of
them are led TO suppose the result
of the recent election means that
they may be again made slaves.
All this has appeared to me tC- be
so absurd, and 1 have been so sure
that the slightest intelligent reflec-
ton would dislOdge such foolish
fears, that | can hardly deem any
notice OF them necessary, but there
is not the slightest objection to call
ing the attention Of all who are in
the least uneasy or uncertain upon
this subject, To the fact that the title
of colOred people to freedom and all
the rights OF citizenship can not he
disturbed, except by change in
the Constitution, which Ii would be
absolutely impossible TO make.
Besides, The present condition and
status Of the cOlOred people has
been so fully accepted by the entire
country that no one should have
the slightest idea that any attempt
will be made to change it, if there
were any possibility OF accomplish
ing such Il thing. So far rs the
new administration is related TO
this subject the whole country can
be sure that the lawful power and
jurisdiction of the Executive will
be 50 exercised that the rights of all
citizens, white or black, under the
Constitution or law will be preServ-
ed and protected, and all the advan-
tages to which they are entitled, by
reason OF their citizenship, will be
secured to them. There need be no
fear that either the Democratic par
ty or its newly-elected administra-
iion proposes to Cypress or enslave
any part OF our population, nor TO
destroy the business interests Of the
country. We hope, OH the other
hand, tor do something TO benefit
the people. 1t seems TO me that
our efforts in that direction woald
he aided if miscellaneous crOaking
and dark imaginings should give
place to an earnest endeavOr TO in
spire confidence, to make universal
q cheerful hope for the future"

Gen. Bate is man of great per-

acter. He endured and survived
three. senatorial defeats and WAS
still strong. Cleveland represented
:he very life of the American re-
public in a mighty final struggle
with all the lawltss and evil powers
which have gathered about the pc.
litical machine.
Reckless mis-management, In the
interest OF narrow clique, Has
brought both down in nearly equal

moves organs and committees to

Every fsrmer should keep can
of the following mixture: Kero-
sene, two quarts; linseed oil. one
gill rosin, one ounce. Melt the
rosin in the linseed Oil and add to
the kerosene. Coat all steel or iron
tools, whenever bright, with this
when they are to be idle, if for only
few days. It will not take half a
minute or half teaspoonfnl of the
mixture to coat a pillow when one
has finished using it, and it will pre-
vent all rust and save half a days
time in cleaning it when it is again
needed, besides saving the team
many thousands of pounds extra

mowers and reapers with it when
tn az are put away for the winter.
