is A DEMOCRAT.

Our country Democrats will
doubtless be pleased to learn that
the editor of the Knoxville Tribune
has been converted. Conversion
means Transforming or changing,
1t occurred in this manner: He
was travelling from Knoxville down
to Civil Service Reform, breath.
ing threats and slaughter against
Cleveland, when 10! great light
appeared to him which was in the
nature of a message, and said: The
foolish ones do not understand the
ground upon which Civil Service
rests; and then a voice was heard
saying, read my letter to Stone, as
he is the subject of Civil Service
Reform, he made speeches against
my administration, he is an offens-
i've partisan; and at once the edit
or of the Tribune arose and went
to this place Of reform and the
brethren ministered unto him, and
Immediately he preached Cleve-
land, saying, "He is a better Demo
crat than he was last year."

GOT THE PIE.

The Memphis Avalanche is now
for Bate for U. s. Senator. The
TINES does not know whether this
had anything to do with Doak's
appointment or not. Politicians
who have official bees in their hats
will do most anything to get the
honey the bees make. We wonder
if the Union and the Banner could
hear the buzzing of the little busy
bee in their hats would pull them of
for the honey. Is it possible that
all the strong things said by these
papers for education and the tariff
can be changed in a moment, in
the twinkling of an eye, at one of
Senator Harris bows and axclama-
tions, off you please, gentlemen, It
is all right"

THE DIFFERENCE.

Mr.. Perkins and Mr.. DeltOn met,
and after the usual salutatiOns, the
conversation drifted out on the
habits of life, the conduct of fami-
lies, the difference in children and
what makes it. Mr.. Perkins said to
his friend, "There are some things l
would like to know; how it is that
your boys are different from other
boys. You have the best boys l
ever saw; they are peaceful among
themselves, and are so with their
associates. They have no bad hab-
its, and are seemingly proof against
them. How have you managed
them?" SWELL" said Delton, 81
took the Bible for my guide in this
matter; you know it says, train
up a child in the way it should 60
and when it is old it will not de-
part from it, Now, l teach my
children the Bible, in my own con-
duct and conversation, for it is my
experience that children take their
parents as their guide, when very
young, as they have all confidence
in father and mother, therefore
everything they do they believe to
be right. 1t is true that children
often 60 in excess of their parents
in wickedness, because when a
vehicle is started down hill its fast
ness of motion depends on the
character of the inclination of the
road, the hinderances on the way.
When the parents have started
down hill, there is no great reason
why they outstrip them in the race,
as the world, the flesh and the devil
assist them, without the hinder
ancces that the parents have for
fast travel. For instance, if the
father is guilty of falsehood, OF
drinking, of chewing, smoking,
profanity, deception and dishon.
esty, there will be an easy grade
down tor the boy. In their case
there is seemingly but one saving
power for him, and that is, his
mother is climbing up Zion's Hill
she may be able to save him, by
her godly example and her person
al efforts in his behalf. But when
father and mother are both teach.
ing the children by wrong examples
it is q miracle alone of the divine
Savior that arrests and saves the
children.

icy requires that such of our citizens
as have built up large and impor-
tant Industries under present con-
ditiOns should not be suddenly and
to their injury, deprived Of the adj
vantages to which they have adapt
ed their business"
The President says a sound pub
lie policy requires that nothing
should be done that would deprive
the immense corporations of the
advantage the tariff gave them.
Here now the tariff, in its opera
lions, is regarded as blessing to
these corporations and the men
they employ, and any action that
would deprive them of its benefits
would not be good for the public.
Now, then, let's get the Presi'
dents statement of his views on
the tariff in few words, to wit:
Protection is a Fraud. lst-Tt
laboring men. 2nd-To Taxpayers
3rd-To farmers.
This is his free trade idea.
SECOND.
Protection is a blessing. 1st-Tt
laboring men, in providing labo,
and advanced pay. 2nd-It builds
up manufacturing and mining in
terests, by protecting them agains
foreign corporations by giving then
larger sales and less competition.
This is his American idea.

DECREASE IN FARMING LANDS

1t is patter of surprise to many
people that the farming land in
Tennessee has been declining in
valuation every year, for twenty
years.. In last weeks TIMES we
gave the valuation of the farming
lands of Tennessee to be SAL ,OOO,-
600, which shows a decrease in val
uation, in twenty years, Of $4,000
00O-twO millions year.
This is a wonderful state of things
and a damaging statement to
make. There has been an effort on
the part of the public press to boom
the South, showing the advanced
interest in manufactures, mining
and growth of towns and cities;
how the South is about to compete
with the North and East, and yet,
with all these glowing statements
and fine pictures, our farming lands
are decreasing in values. There
must be a cause for it, and it will
be a bright day for Tennessee when
that cause is ascertained and the
remedy found. Negatively, it can
be said, it is not because the land is
more barren than it was in 1866;
and further, it is not because the
farmers are relaxing their efforts
to make good crops, or to bring
their land up to as high standard
as they did in that year, or in any
year since. If, then, with these
negative propositions satisfactorily
answered, wherein shall be found
the real cause and the remedy
This will be no easy matter to do,
as the prices of the productions OF
the soil, have been good; and to
the outside and inside world that
ought to determine the real value of
the soil. The price of wheat, corn,
oats, rye, barley, potatoes, &C., were
largely in excess of what they
were before the war. Then, Ger.
tainly, that cannot be the reason OF
this decline in values of farming
lands. 1t may be said that the
great body Of agricultural lands in
the West has something to do in
the regulation of prices; that, how
ever, can be answered by saying,
these lands were subject to entry
before 1886. 1t might be well to
ask, whether the abolition of the
slaves had anything to do with this
decrease in value of farming lands,
In answering this it may be we'll to
ask some questions. lst-Is the
demand for the productions of the
soil less? 2nd-Is the supply less,
and the cost of production more
The answering of these would give
some light. We leave the answer
ing of these questions to such as
may believe that the abolition OF
slavery has had something to d.
in this decrease of values. In some
other issue of the TIMES we will
continue this discussion.

Cleveland, in his message to Con.

more, and he arose and interrupted the Indiana
member fercely. The latter said, sharply: "Oh.
am not afraid Of you"
Laird retorted: 1T makes no difference who
you are afraid of. don't you threaten me, sir!"
Mr.. Cobb said he did not mean to threaten the
gentleman. but he proposed to quote the record,
and would not be intimidated. Laird again
said, hotly: Don't you threaten me, sir! Don't
trife with mel" and stood gazing steadily at his
assailant, livid with rage. Members gathered
around the gentlemen, some laughing at the
spirit Of the scene and others, who knew the men
we'll looking serious as the colloquy proceeded.
The Speakers gavel brought things to a halt,
and during noisy dispute about an extension of
time the gentlemen had time to cool a little
Then Laird made defense. He declared that
he had no interest in land entries, except his
original homestead. but his brother, now dead,
had been, and intimated that there was a con-
fusion Of identity between them. He asserted,
also. that a subsequent report and action by the
Land Office exculpated him completely from the
first agents charges. These subsequent pro-
ceedings. he said, were within the reach of Mr..
Cobb, and If he and Commissioner Sparks had
been disposed fairly, they would have presented
the whole record. There is a bad state of feel
ing between the two members to night. No
apologies have passed The friends of both gen.
tlemen say that should they meet there would
be trouble.
