DEMAGOCICAL SPEAKERS,

In his speech here last week Tom
Williams said we had to pay tax
from the cradle to the grave; that
on every broom the housekeeper
buys she pays % per cent. tax. This
is falsehood, SO apparent that no
sensible man will make it unless he
makes it for demagogical purposes.
If you buy English, French or
German brooms you may have to
pay that much more than you do for
American brooms. The TIMES Of
fee has been buying brooms at 12Is
cents a piece by the dozen, being
loyal to Tennessee. We buy them
made from Tennessee broom. corn,
by citizen of Tennessee, and we
have never paid any tax on them.
1t may be that Tom Williams
wants to play pimp to the Queen of
England, and he buys English
brooms and he has to pay the En-
glish tax. This same friend of the
English Government said, You
have to pay 60 cents tax on collins.
Charles Plane and Geo. A. Brown
are both Democrats, but we do not
believe they are in league with Old
England and are making you pay
an English tax, for they buy the
lumber here at home and make
their own collins. Our opinion is
they do not know the price of En-
glish, French or German coffins.
Neither Blount County, the State

their duty, when that convincing

Of money. If it were not for this
We should have no trouble in con.
verting every man, woman and
child between this point and Louis
vile that a macadamized road
ought to be made on the nearest
line of road from this point to that.
In the location of this line of road
with consent of Capt. w. Y.C. Han
mum, we would cross Pistol Creek
on the bridge east of Parham's
mills, and open the road through
Captain Hannum's lane, passing
his fine residence and again cross.
ing the creek north of him, which
would make a beautiful air line
road for nearly three miles. The
benefit of this macadamized road
to the farmers and the two towns
would be great. 1t would open up
new life for Louisville and be a
source of great accommodation to
Maryville, while the farms along
the line of road would be increased
in value at least % per cent, and
on sale would bring it. The TIMES
would prefer free pike, but if that
is not feasible, then toll pike must
be made, r..

The middle in Davidson County
has not yet been settled. One OF
the candidates nominated for the
House has withdrawn, but the man
who is at the head for the whisky
men is for the Senate; he is pledg-
ed to get sick when the vote comes
up if he is elected. He is the OBJ
jectionable man to the people, but
there is no hope of his withdrawal.
Just how to defeat him is the ques-
ton. The Republicans have not yet
nominated. The whisky men will
make an effort there also.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1886-10-06

Senator John Rhum is suggest
ed as the Republican candidate in
Davidson County. Mr.. Rhum is
for whisky against submission; at
least he was two years ago, and he
will doubtless be opposed now, un-
less he could be induced to straddle
the question, and, from the exalted
position of "Our Congressman"
look both ways in Davidson Coun-
ty-as the Democracy did on the
tariff question in the last presiden-
tial canvass. Politicians, moon.
sinners and whisky sellers are wise
men, having wonderful amount
of backbone in fighting for the dew
IFS cause. Senator Rhum should
drop the h in his name; then he
would be "John Rum" which would
be true.

A lawyer who defended his client
in two days speech was surprised
that the jury brought in a verdict
of guilty and gave his client a life
sentence. When the culprit was
asked by Judge Newman what he
had to say against sentence being
pronounced said, "Nothing, except
that the time occupied by my at
torney, in his first speech, ought to
be deducted from my term of i'm
prisOnment." And the Judge
quantity, with a twinkle in his eye,
said he thought so too.

Homes for the Homeless.

It is a melancholy fact that about
80 per cent. of the people of this,
the greatest country in the world,
are practically homeless. Many Of
them have places they call home,
but nine chances to one they have
either to pay rent or some mortgage
interest on them.-FlOrida High.
land Press.
This fact is a sad commentary on
the lives of a million of freemen,
when nine out of ten of all the
heads of families are practically
homeless. It would be an interest
ing and a valuable work for the
government Of the States, as we'll
as the Nation, to investigate this
subject and see where the trouble
lies.
In this country, where there can
be found so many cheap homes,
there must be some reason outside
of the hard times, as we have ex-
perienced them. For all the years
of the past generation the wages of
the laboring man have been good
from seventy-five cents up to four
dollars per day has been regularly
paid. And yet he is destitute of a
home. Why is it? That is the
question which interests readers
and thinkers.
Reasons are assigned by politi-
clans. One party says, "High pro-
tective tariff builds up corporations
and individuals, and in doing so
grinds down the poor laborer." The
other party says, otis the unsettled
policy of the country, brought about
by the threats to admit into the
country, free of duty, the goods pro-
duced by pauper labor in the old
world, thus destroying the manu-
featuring, mining and agricultural
interests of this country"
1t may be well to say that there
is something in the last proposition
worthy of the consideration of all
men; yet it does not give satisfac-
tory solution of the question before
us. There are other reasons for the
homeless condition of men and
families found nearer the places
where they live. These facts can
be made plain by looking into our
personal habits of life. Let each
man ask himself what the useless
and worthless habits of life cost
him per year.
A man of good standing in this
county said to us at the Baptist AS.
ISOLATION, last August: ut costs my
wife and myself thirty-five dollars
a year for tobacco" This sum is
not large,yet to homeless family
it would purchase and pay for ten
acres of land in this county each
year.
But this is not the only useless
habit INDUCED in by men. There
are other habits practiced in cities
towns and country which cost more
than the tobacco habit, saying
nothing about the time lost.
There is no able bodied man and
woman in the first few years OF
married life but who can enjoy the
beauties and benefits of a home
if they will cooperate in the deter.
mination to accomplish this pur.
pose.
If politicians and teachers had
in view the greatest good to the
greatest number, there would be
but few homeless families in this
country. We talk of the grinding
heel of corporations; there are none
so exacting, so powerful and DIES.
tructive to the homes, as tobacco
manufactures and whisky distil-
leries. Yet, the man who says this
is called a crank or a fanatic by the
men whose daily wages largely GO
to build up these powerful institu-
tons.

THE GREAT TROT.
The Horses that are to Contest the Trot-
ting Championship.
rs. F. Chronicle, November 2lst.l

rs. F. Chronicle, November 2lst.l
There is great interest shown in the trot
for purse of $1,000 which is announced
to take place at the Bay Dis riot track on
Saturday next. We append hereto con-
else account of the various horses entered
and their past achievements.
Harry Wilkes, bay gelding, Isl hands,
nine years old; record, 2:144; sired by
George Wilkes; dam, Mollie Walker. He
has trotted ffty-three races, winning all
but six, and an aggregate of $4,000 in
purses. He has to his credit the three
fastest heats on record ever trotted in con-
tested race. He is owned by Temple and
Van Ness of New York and will be driven
by Frank Van Ness.
Oliver K, bay gelding, six years old, six
teen hands; record, 2:164; sired by King
Wilkes dam by the thoroughbred Vir-
ginius. He started the present season with
a record of 2:24, ana has trotted ten races,
winning all but one. He has won purses
to the amount of $4,000. He is owned by
Charles Schwartz, prominent business
man of Chicago, and is trained and driven
by the world renowned Budd Doble.
Charlie Hilton, eight hears old, record
2:16f, sired by Louis Napoleon. This is
practically his first season, he having
started but once last year. He has been
of 2:17i in the fourth heat. He is owned
by Crawford and Sisson, and will be driven
by Mr.. Crawford, who, as a driver, is CON-
sidered second to none.
Arab, bay gelding, seven years old, by
Arthurton or General Benton, record PHI.
He won all his races through the grand
circuit except at Rochester. Since his re-
turn from the East he has shown mile
better than ZIG in training. He will be
driven by the veteran o. A. Hickok.
Antevolo, bay stallion, four years old, by
Electioneer, dam Columbine, record 2:194.
Reliable parties assert that he has shown
some wonderfully fast miles of late and
that ZIG or better can be made with him.
He is owned by Joseph Cairn Simpson and
will be driven by him.
Guy Wilkes, bay stallion, seven years
old, by George Wilkes. dam by Mambrino
Patchen, the dam of Joe Bunker, record of
2:19. Guy Wilkes has record OF 2:154,
made in the fifth heat, during the present
season. He has not been beaten this sea-
son and is regarded as the best stallion on
thet turf. He is owned by William Corbett
and will be driven by J. A. Goldsmith.
This is an array OF horses that cannot be
equaled at the East, and the winner will
probably receive the recognition of being
the king of the turf.
