and free trade, Democrats of all
shades having united in the convic-
ton that absolute free trade was not
to be thought of; the real point at
issue being the best mode Of reducing
the revenues of the government to
the limits of its legitimate necessities
with the most beneficial results to the
industries of the country.
Both parties have agreed that re-
duction of the present revenues of the
government is imperative, yet when
a Democratic House of Representa-
tives agreed upon and passed a bill
providing for a reduction of over
$6O,OOO,OOO so distributed as to grant
the greatest number Of people relief
from onerous taxation, and to infiict
the least Inconvenience upon
established industries, it was rejected
by a Republican Senate. Their bill
was entirely non-sectional, prorating
the reduction in tariff impartially
between Southern rice and sugar and
Northern wool and iron.
The Senate, though freely admit
ting the absolute necessity of reduc-
ton in revenues, rejected the measure
of relief offered by the House, and de-
layed substituting bill of its own
until it became evident that it would
fail for lack of time to consider it.
Thus have the Republican party
managers cheated the country of the
relief it had every reason to expect
and for which it vociferously clamor-
ed. In the preparation of their tariff
bill the Republicans displayed an
utter lack ofprinciple, and a degree
of narrow-minded sectionalism that
should of itself debar it from national
recognition.
While outwardly expressing SYM
pathy for the laboring man, the Re-
publican party proposes to tax his
food and clothing and give him
instead free whisky. "While he
asks for bread it offers him stone"
Again, while cutting off the protec-
ton on Southern sugar and rice, the
Senate leaves unmolested Northern
machinery; so that the Southern
planter is deprived of a portion of his
income without securing a proper
tionate reduction in the cost of the
supplies he is forced to buy. BY this
shallow scheme it is proposed tc
punish the solid South, and particu
larly Louisiana, for its unselfish anC
unassailable devotion to the Democ
racy. .rIfIf Viff
The weakness of the Republican
position on the tariff issue is clearly
shown by the reluctance of the Sen
ators to even risk a vote on thei
bill, and it is to be hoped that the
voice of the people as expressed a
the polls next month will administe
a fitting rebuke to such trickery.

P. T. Barnum at Dirty Tricks.

Bridgeport Conn., Farmer. (Dem.)
The employees Of p. T. Barnum in
this city received their wages on
Saturday last in the dirty "pay" en-
velopes which the Republican mana
gers have adopted in this campaign
as one of their chief schemes for in
timidation of men. Mr.. Barnum's
resort to this device brings to mind
the fact that four years ago he was so
sure of general disaster following
Democratic success that he publicly
offered to sell all his real estate at 25
per cent discount from existing value
in case Cleveland was elected. Mr..
Barnum held on to his estate at high
er prices than formerly, and bought a
good deal in addition. His resort to
the pay envelope device in this cleo
ton will result in a general laugh at
his expense.

OFFICE OF T. L. MITCHELL, G. G.
T., INDEPENDENT ORDER OF GOOD
TEMPLARs, STATE OF TENNESSEE,
DOYLE, Tenn, Oct. %, 18SS.-Fel-
low-Citizens of the State Of Tennessee:
/ am often asked what relation the
Good Templars of Tennessee will as
sumo toward the. third party move
ment in this State.
1 am free to say that our organiza-
ton is not a political one and can
never be used for political purposes,
but is strictly a moral, temperance
organization by which we hope to
persuade and educate people to be
sober. To that end we have worked
as an organization for half a century,
and hope all good people will help us
to build up such an organization.
AS an individual / believe that a
third party is death blow to prohi-
bition. Our people are very favor
able to prohibition, as was evidenced
by the vote year ago; but the very
strong prejudice that would be engen-
dered against it by the two strong
political parties would, in my opin-
ion, place it beyond hope. For this
and many other reasons / shall vote
the straight Democratic ticket, from
President down, and work in that
party for such temperance legislation
as I think to the best interest of the
country. Respectfully,
II. l.. MITCHELL, G. c. II.

Straight Talk to Business Men.

Nashville American.
What are the Democratic business
men of Tennessee doing for party
success in the coming contest? The
answer is not a hopeful one. Do
they know that in Congress and on
the stump the Republican leaders
have stated their determination to
reopen the Southern question? With
Mr.. Harrison's election will follow
an attempt to reopen the discussions,
now almost ended; to again renew
the angry strife and animosities of
past years. Under whose administra-
ton have the business interests of the
South grown and flourished =? Did
not the business administration of
Cleveland restore confidence, start
industries, Increase production and
extend the credit of all the South ?
1t is amasing that a Southern bust
ness man will aid in overturning this
prosperous state of affairs by aiding
in the success of Mr.. Harrison and
his schemes, either by apathy or by
active support at the polls.

The Election and the Tariff.

NO. Picayune.
The tariff has already played con-
spicuous part in several general cleo
tions since the war, but never until
now was it made the principal bone
of contention between the two great
parties. The course ofevents during
the past few years has tended
irretrievably in one direction.
namely, the growing. necessity of a
change in the volume of revenue to
be collected for the maintenance of
the government. So important and
peremptory has this become, by
reason of the great excess of receipts
over expenditures by the National
Treasury, that the presidency, as well
as the control of Congress itself, are
now held up as reward to the party
which gives the country the best
guarantee of accomplishing the
desired end. The tariff, or to speak
more plainly, the mode of collecting
the revenue, is consequently the
burning issue in the contest which,
within a few weeks, will be decided
at the polls.
1t is a mistake to consider that the
parties are divided between protection

ON RAIL AND OROssTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circlea

g. Gunby Jordan, general manager OF
the Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad,
and party, passed through the city last
night, en- route to Griffin.
The combined exhibit of the Charleston
and Savannah railroad and the Atlantic
Coast Line was one of the most beautiful
and comprehensive in the Charleston trades
procession Monday night. the Nelcs and
Courier says, and it gives the following
description of the display: 1t was COM
parison between the bleak north and the
sunny south, which, although hundreds of
miles apart, are reached with comfort and
dispatch by means Of the vestibule trains
and other facilities offered by the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Plant system. The ex-
hibition was on three floats joined to-
gether. The first represented the polar
regions, having upon it an iceberg with
ticket office in it. On the same float was
polar bear and an imp keeping up fire
under thermometer which registered
40 below zero. The floor Of the
float was made in imitation of snow
aud ice. A telephone ran from the first
float to the last float, representing Florida.
The second float consisted of a passenger
coach with Maltese cross on the sides and a
picture of the steamship Msscotte in the
center OF the medallion. On the wings of
the cross were the words FLORIDA, Key
West and Havana" while the "Plant Sys-
TEN IN large letters was painted on the
sides of the coach, and on the upper board
ing we're; Charleston, Savannah and
Florida Express Line.n Following the
coach came representation Of Florida.
The top OF the float contained typical
tropical scene. In the center of the picture
were real palmetto and orange trees and
other vegetation indicative of the fruit and
flower state, while the luxury of life
out of doors was illustrated by a lady
swinging at full length in ham
mock stretched between two trees
The picture was realistic to degree
Even the alligator was not wanting
The animal disported himself at pleasure
around the float, and was frequently in
telephone communication with the polar
bear at the other end-rruly a speaking
tribute to the progress which modern
science has made. The realistic effect
Of the display was completed by
a coating of the most natural
looking snow upon the roof of the car at
the end contiguous to the ice float, while at
the other end of the coach, which was sup
posed to be well into the state of Florida
there were tourists with straw hats and
linen busters. Accompanying the float
was a large body Of the employees of the
two roads, carrying torches and transpar-
encies,

The Savannah, Florida and Western
Railways % New Coaches.
The Savannah, Florida and Western
railway has received eight new cars
which will be put on when the winter
schedule is resumed, within the next few
days. Twenty two new cars have been
ordered, and they are expected here within
the next two weeks.
The eight cars that have been received are
built in the latest style, and are models Of
workmanship. They are painted olive
green and are finished inside with mahogany.
They are fitted out with Mason's car seats,
which are pronounced the finest made. On
either side overhead are improved
hat and bundle racks Instead of
having rack over each seat,
the new cars are furnished with one con-
tinuous basket rack, extending the entire
length of the car. They have vestibules,
with lavatories attached. The lamps are
modern, and are not in use on any other
cars south. They are adjusted in such
way that in lighting them the bowl will not
have to be taken out of the frame The
coaches are all made with combination
couplers, and can be used with any other
cars without undergoing adjustment.
Traffic Manager Owens said yesterday
that after Jan. / the company will be
using its new passenger shed, which
is nearing completion. There will be FIVE
passenger trains on the line, including the
vestibule train, after Jan. z. All of the old
cars will undergo a thorough renovation
and overhauling shortly, and will be painted
the same color as the new cars. Mr..
