The Russellville Democrat., 1884-10-02

in this day and time seem to be
loosing the lessons Of The past. They
set up their desires and undertake
to compass them at all costs. and
where reason fails them they call
prejudice to their aid. Fifty years
ago, everybody, high and low, looked
upon American institutions as too
solid TO be shaken. Those were the
days of discipline and respect for
law and wholesome restraint. Al
few more years OF such campaigning
as we now see, IN which passions
and prejudlces are the prime factors,
the leading features, and it will be
demonstrated to our sorrow that
American institutions depend as
much upon the wise and conserva-
tive intelligence of the people as
those of any other country. 1t is a
source of alarm to lovers of peace
and to those who foster devotion to
tie principles Of this government as
at FIRST founded to see strange fea
lures and new methods spring up
and in use, clean out of joint with
the respectable customs and the
quick public conscience of those by
gone years. This is not the solilo-
guy ola disappointed politician, but
it is the calm expression of citizen
who has seen aud read too much OF
the appeals OF the demagogue to
arouse popular prejudice, and too
much clap trap OF men who would
rise into power if it cost the life
blood Of American liberty.

The township democratic conven-
tions on Saturday, the 18th of Octo
Der should have the attention of ev-
cry democrat. This is very impor-
tant matter, and one in which every
citizen of the State without regard
to party is deeply interested. The
choosing of a Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court is an important mat
ter indeed, and occurs only once in
every six years. A full expression
of the people should be had at the
county convention ON the 21st Oct.
Township conventions should, there
fore, be full, and the very best dele
gates be chosen to the county con-
ventions, and instructions given
where that is desired. We urge
democrats to be thoroughly aroused
to the importance of this occasion,
and let every one be certain to at
tend his township convention on the
18th of October.

WHAT is it that can't find currenc,

WHAT is it that can't find currency
in this campaign in the way Of cheap
and untruthful assertion for parti-
san advantage by men whose hopes
of success depend upon policies
drafted in the domains of prejudice
and Of unholy ambitionY AS an illus
ration take this specimen of Ben
Buffers in which he attempts to
spur up northern labor prejudice by
reference to Southern labor as "pau
per labor"
"How can you laboring men ex.
pect to be prosperous with the pau
per labor of the South coming into
direct competition with your"
lis only necessary to add to com
plete the picture of demagoguery
that, if Butler was in the South the
thing would be reversed, but, if it
wasn't, then it is interesting to en-
quire what sort of a southern labor
ing man s friend is he anyway, since
he would build up the interest OF the
northern laborer, as a preferred class.
Better let this old sharp political
mountebank alone. But to show
that he misrepresented the facts we
append the following from the New
York Herald:
We were under the impression
and facts confirm us in this-that
labor in Southern mills received
higher wages than was paid in Gen
eral Buffers New England mills. If,
then, this Southern labor is "pauper,
what must that of New England be?
The Russellville Democrat., 1884-10-02

The following from the Ozark Sun
is worthy to be commended to and
studied by our people:
There are no manufacturing mo-
nopo.ists and capitalists in this part
of the country; the people are all
comparatively poor, and where there
is so much competition in trade the
merchant cannot Cypress the farmer
as the demagogues have tried to
make them believe. Each ones in
terest is the farmers interest, and
the farmers interest is the mer-
chants interest; and law Cypress
Ing the farmer would prove detri-
mental to the interest Of the mer
chant. IF a law should be passed
that would be detrimental to the In
terest of the farmer, the merchant
would revolt as quick as the farmer,
for that law would touch his inter-
est, too. Then the only great dan
ger either class need have dread is
the demagogue who, to forward his
own selfish ambition, stirs up strife
and excites the prejudice Of the
country people against the town
people, or the people Of one occupa-
ton against the people Of another.
This is where the danger lies, and
this is what has already engendered
so much i'll feeling, misunderstood
ing and political difference among
the democrats of this county.

This Is yet free government and

to exercise their own will as to
whether they will risk their own

pay at least three fourths of the
taxes in this county. So it is to be
seen that nothing is to be gained by
trying to force measures through

THERE are tides IN the affairs

THERE are tides In the affairs OF
men, which, if taken at their flood,
lead on to fortune. At least, this is
the adage, and whether true or not
in the affairs OF men, it is true in the
affairs of state. Opportunities occur
to state which, If taken advantage
of, serve to bring her to fame and
greatness, but neglected, leaves her
down on the ordinary planes, and
without that reputation or greatness
which comes only through the chan
nels of wise statesmen and profound
thought. These perhaps are of more
benefit than the reputation and pres
tige which they bring, but the beau
ty is, to have one is to have the other,
for a state can't have wise and good
statesmen without attracting the
public attention through them. The
power and prestige of their name
settles like halo around their state,
besides, their wisdom and power are
to be enjoyed at the same time. Ar
kansas is proud of the distinction
which she enjoys in the person of
her honorcd son, A, II. Garland, and
to make the distinction doubly
bright, she has only to link with his
name as her representatives IN the
United States Senate the name of
Judge w. W. Mansfield. 1t is no
disparagement to others To say that
Judge Mansfield is prominently the
man for the place.
