THE Union City Anchor is mad
because we caught it making love
and told, and to get even with us
for that offense it persists in calling
us ugly names. 1t first spoke of us
as a rantankarous and never-to-be-
satisfied Fussellite, and on being
assured of its error in that regard it
says, swell you are damradikel
in disguise, anyway" or words to
that effect. The last charge is as
equally without foundation in fact
as the first, and don't disturb our
eqinimity in the least.
The Anchor is again assured that
there was no animosity in our offer
of Il chrome for copy of that paper
that made no editorial allusion TO
aud no quotation from the Memphis
Scimeter. 1t is entirely mistaken
in supposing that we wish to dictate
to it in any regard. The Memphis
Scimeter frequently contains very
readibie editorials. The Anchor
seldom has more than five or six
short columns of home-print reading
matter, and we don't doubt that The
paper would be made much more
interesting if those columns wire
entirely filled with extracts from
the Memphis contemporary for
which it has shown such fond
ness.
While writing in this regard it
may be well enough to remark that
though our offer has been standing
for several weeks, no one has yet
applied for that picture.

IRON Is found in forty-four of til

IRON Is found in forty-fOur Of the
ninety-seven counties in Tennessee
and the ore exists in such large
quantities that 1t is practically in
exhaustible. The development of
this immense source of wealth will
make Tennessee one of the chief
manufacturing States of the Union,
and that will increase the average
price Of her lands from their present
low rate to at least $50 per acre, the
average price of land in Pennsylva-
MIA and other manufacturing States.
This promised prosperity will all be
nipped in the bud if Morrison's
tariff bill passes, placing iron ore on
the free list. Such a law will play
into the hands of the Eastern man.
uFaeturers, for the mills there can
run with greater profit than
they do now on the cheap imported
ores, while the articles they manu-
facture are protected. They can
run and defy the competition oil
struggling enterprises in the South
that depend on the mining resour-
ces of their own section. With a
duty on imported ore iron can be
made in the South cheaper than in
the East and that is why the East
wants raw material placed on the
free list. The interest of the South
is uppermost with US and we espe-
cially desire the prosperity of Ten
nessee. We wish to see our State
and its people grow rich and we
protest against the enactment OF a
law that will snatch away this pros
pect of wealth. A duty ON iron ore
should be sustained.

Murfreesboro News Mr.. M.
Day, representing company, that
manufactures machines for the pur-
pose of making sugar from sorghum,
was in the city the latter part of last
week for the purpose OF working up
an interes. in this matter. It is
represented that most excellent
brown sugar may be made from
sorghum cane, which only needs
to be refined, just as all other sugars,
in order to make a first class quail
ity of white sugar.
The plan suggested is TO establish
mandatory at this place, which
will have the capacity to use any
given number of acres of cane dur
ing one Season. 1t will require about
$4,000 or $4,000 to establish a
mandatory and begin operations,
calculating on manufacturing from
600 to 1000 acres of cane. Mr.. Days
estimates show that this sugar may
be profitably manufactured out OF
cane that will cost at the mill $500
per ton. This includes only the
stalk and fodder of the cane. The
farmer will have the seed after sell
ing the stalk, which he can sell for
something or may utilize it on his
farm.
A meeting of some of our citi-
zens, who felt an interest in this
matter, was held, and a committee
appointed to make full investiga-
tions and report

HARMONY M0sT PREVAIL.

The time Is approaching when
delegates from Tennessee to the
National Democratic Convention
must be chosen. The matter Is al
ready being discussed by the news
papers and the factional tone as
sunned by some OF these organs is
. not conducive to that harmony that
should prevail within the party
ranks. Papers of free trade pro-
clivities are beginning TO sound an
alarm and to notify the "dear pc
pull" OF whose interest they claim
to be the sole cnstodians, that the
"protectionists" are getting up a
scheme TO capture the delegation.
Other newspapers that entertain con-
trary views on the tariff issue are
urging that delegates OF their way OF
thinking be chosen, aud between
the two q pretty row is apt to be
stirred nv that will make good the
claim of the Republicans that they
have a cha nee to Carry the State in
the next election.
These chickering's are not to be
attributed so much to honest differ
ences Of opinion as TO the desire OF
certain papers and politicians to
keep alive the strife in the party on
which they have heretofore fatten-
ed. The State debt IL not likely to
cut any figure in the next election.
1--WE sincerely hope not, any wayD
and the demagogues must find some
way to keep themselves before the
public. The Democratic masses in
Tennessee. as they are all over the
country. are for harmony and party
unity and they must see TO it that
these fire brands are suppressed.
We hope that the convention call
ed to nominate delegates to the
National convention will not con-
slider the tariff question. 1t can do
no possible good and may result in
a great deal OF harm. There are
many true and tried Democrats in
every Congressional district in the
State whose party loyalty cannot be
questioned, men OF ability in
whose hands the interest of the
party and the people can be trusted
with impunity. Such men should
be sent as delegates to the National
convention without any regard for
their tariff views. This course has
been pursued heretofore and there
Is no reason why II should not be
the present policy.
1t is safe to predict that the Ma
tiOnal Democracy will declare In
favor of tariff reform and revision,
with due regard TO the interest OF
such Industries as need protection.
Such a platform affords the only
assurance of success, and the con-
vention will not be so unwise as to
adopt any other. That, however,
is simply the opinion of the CHRoN-
ICLE; other Democratic Journals
may look for different expression
and one more consistent with their
own views on the subject. 1t Is
our present intention to urge that
no paper attempt to place represen-
tatives OF its own views on the Ten
nessee Delegation that goes to the
National Convention and above all
that no row be raised in the State
convention that dominates these
delegates. Whatever tariff plank
the National Convention may pro-
mitigate, the CHRONICLE will sup
port the ticket it puts in the field
and all Democratic papers in Ten
nessee will do the same thing.
There Is no use in weakening the
party with untimely dissentions.

Embroidered birds and fruits are
cut out, and used to ornament

A great novelty for evening dres-

The chenille embroidery, forming

appligued on both bodies and

we learned that Warner Furnace
will remain shut down until about
the 1st Of Apail, unless orders were
received for some particular grade
OF iron not on hand in the stock
they have at the furnace. They
have but small amount of char
coal or ore on hand, as the winter
has been so unusually severe as to
about stop all operations towards
getting "stock" delivered.
Their arrangements for hydraulic
mining at Nunelly's ore banks are
nearly completed, and as soon as
the weather will adult they will
commence to "wash down" some
of the Hickman county hills. This
method of mining will be a novel
ty, at least in this section, but no
doubt will be successful, and will
largely augment their supply of ore.
Active operations at the Furnace,
and in all the coalings and ore
banks will be resumed with the re-
turn of settled weather.
