Financial Slavery.

That money is power, has been demonstrated by all human expert cnce. It is reasonable to suppose, too, that wealth or capital, while II seeks secure and profitable invest ments, will support that financial system of the government which promises best to facilitate the accu- mutation of large fortunes, and at the same time offers ample guaran- ties for their security and perpctua- ton. Perhaps the wisdom and in- genuitv of man have never devised a financial system better fitted in all of it's details to accomplish these re- suits than the high protective tariff eystem. It is so complex and intri- cate in it's principles and operations that the most profound statesmen differ widely as to its beneficial ef fects. some believing that it is the Pandora's box from which all our troubles have flowed. while others maintain that it is is a sovereign panacca for all our national ills The fact that there is such wide di- versity of opinion among intelligent men as to it's effects, presents q
  strong argument against the whole scheme. unless it is modified and re- duced so as to embrace in its scope only mxurie> and opportunities. and exempt the necessaries and coarscr things of life. But. after all the chief objection to the system lies in the fact that the protected industries and sections are rapidly becoming rich under its operation. while the other sections. not 50 highly favor ed. are steadily growing poorer ev- cry day and unless some radical re- vision k made soon. the masses of our lahoring people will he reduced to state of extreme poverty and vassalagc little inferior, if any. to that of abicct slavery.
 The tendencies toward the central ization and consolidation of power in the hands of the mOneyed corpora tions and kings is fearfulIy alarming. They already own more than half of the wealth of the country. and at least four-lifths of all the banks and railroads and they are practically a unit in opposition to all measures of tariff reform. If they succeed in perpetuating the high protective Sys- tenn, then farewell to liberty and equality, and mortgages and liens will continue to be multiplied upon our southern and western homes. un- til the lab0rers and farmers will be degraded to tenants and vassals. to mere hewers of wood and drawers of water. History repeats itself-"the borrower is servant to the lender, " and the fcudal system. with all its abomination,, will rear its hydra head on our fair American soil, and crush the liberties of the toiling masses beneath its unhallowed feet.

Washington county, the home of Col. F. B. Moore, deserted him last week and the vote was given to Col. $. l.. Black, for secretary of state. Whcreupon Col. Moore withdrew from the race and in his withdrawal he annouces that under no circum- stances would he except the nomina- ton without the unqualified endorse ment of his people. Though his friends are now at liberty to vote as they please, it is not improbable that they will refuse to go to either Black or Chism if there is chance of Moore's election.
