Belleyille, Illinois, city of about
Is 900 inhabitants, has 30S steam en-
gineS almost constantly in operation.
About ten years ago board OF trade
composed of business men and capital
lists was organized, the chief object of
which was to make Bellevue the great
manufacturing city OF Southern Illinois.
Correspondence with eastern manufac-
turers was begun and special editions
of the local papers, setting forth the
advantages of the city, were sent In eV-
cry direction. Scores Of capitalists
were drawn to the city and an era Of
prosperity was ushered in. Liberal
donations and exemptions from taxa
ton were guaranteed to the first ten
manufacturing plants that were 10
Gated there. With these factories as
nucleus. others followed without any
financial encouragement, and to-day
Belleville is the principal manufacture
ing city of the state. Thousands OF
men have steady employment, and the
city's bonded indebtedness Is being
paid by the taxes levied upon the vari-
Gus manufacturing enterprises and new
railroads builded since the orRaniZa-
tion of the board of trade.-ArkanSas
City Traveller.
BelleviIle but year or two ago was
a little village few miles east of St.
Louis, without water privileges or any
other natural advantages except such
as railroad crossing could give. If, un-
der such circumstances, by little en-
terpr1se and push, her citizens have
been enabled to do so much for her,
what may not be done for Emporia,
with nearly every advantage that ma
ture can bestow given to us with Law
ism hand. This is well worth thinking
about, the more especially when we
take into consideration the fact that
Providence promises such large crops
this season as are seldom raised in any
quarter of the globe. Another argument
is the success that has so far followed
the ventures already running here.
Our canning and soap factories are al
ready the talk of the state, and the
press of other states are not slow to
mention them with complimentary al
%usions. Let us have more manufac-
tories if we wish to hold our own.

THE Rev. Joseph Cook, in his Mon
day lecture the other day remarked:
''Dr. Funk, the editor of the prohib-
ton organ in New York, said in my
presence that AN internal reve-
nue. tax makes our whole people par
ticipators in the gains and crimes of
the liquor traffic. And the voice sec
onds the Tribune and the demo-
cratic howl all along the line against
what they call the whisky plank OF
the republican platform which makes
all spirits used in the arts free from
revenue, and promises to take the tax
off all liquors rather than yield to the
destruction of the principle of protec-
ton to American industries. Prohi-
bitionists who are striving to remove
the same revenue for a different reason
can at least afford to be consistent.

I'VE We GOT TO DO IT OR BE DE-
FEATED.n

CONGRESSMAN BRECKENRIDGE, of
Arkansas, a member of the Ways and
Means committee. gives to a Wash
ington correspondent his views on the
passage of the Mills bill in so straight
forward a manner that they are repro
duced here as a corrective to the dis
honest hedging that has characterized
so many of his party. Such hedging,
he said, was to him annoying.
~ am a free-trader," said he, land
believe that the freer the trade, the
better off is the workingman. No, the
bill passed is not free trade bill, but
it is a step in that direction. The
only fault have to find with it is that
the step is not long enough"
what kind of campaign will the
democrats carry this fall?"
I'VE will carry on an aggressive one.
All our efforts will be directed to con-
vince the voters that the bill itself is
not free trade. We've got to do that
or be defeated. If we are defeated it
will mean that the mass of the people
prefer high taxes; if we win it will
mean that the Mills bill as a prelimi-
nary step toward free trade is all
right"

The Uriah Heep of the Democrat
has added new act to his list of hypO-
critical roles. In Mondays paper,
speaking of the free trade wages he
paws his hands, he says:
If we see fit to give number of begin
ners a chance to learn the trade at fair
prices for such help, we are comforting
a favor upon them which few offices
will extend and which we are sure the
employees themselves fully appreciate.
How about the men who had already
learned the trade and who were forced
to leave you because you were publish
ing paper at their expense by not pay
ing them their wages, while at the same
time you were shouting yourself hoarse
over the wrongs of the workingmen of
the Santa Fe. and also attempting to
make yourself extremely conspicuous
at democratic state conventions in ad-
vocacy of the rights of the poor labor
ing man, posing as the special cham
pion of the K. of L. and all other labor
organizations, and in the interim,
through the columns of your so-called
paper, denouncing the editor of THE
News as ''rat." Acts speak louder
than words, The boys are on to you,
Mack.

Hon. JESSE B. COLE, prominent re-
publican of jefferson county. Florida,
was ordered by band of masked men,
a few nights ago, to leave and remain
away until after the election. 1t has
so happened that heretofore, under the
leadership of Mr.. Cole, the republicans
of Jefferson county have carried the
elections. To drive Mr.. Cole away was
the most direct and cheapest way to
carry the election this fall, and hence
it was done. Such method ObViated
the necessity of holding meetings, dis
cussing issues, hearing brass bands,
parading, and similar devices known
among free people. We are afraid that
the democrats of Kansas would not like
that kind of campaigning, but it is by
just such methods that Mr.. Cleveland
was elected.

WITH a protection tariff the Ameri-
can. wOrkingman buys his food from
the American farmer; he in turn buys
his manufactured goods from the
American manufacturer, who pays
the money out in wages to the work
ingman, from whom it again starts
on the same round. With free trade
the foreign manufacturer gets the
money and takes it out of the country
the American manufacturer closes
down his factory because cheap for
eign labor can undersell him; the
workingmen have nothing to do, tx
earn money, consequently the farmer
has no home maket for his produce.

WHEN the Democrats find Repub-
lican of even moderate prominence
who has "flopped" over to Cleveland
and free trade, the organs give a half
column or column of space To chroni-
cling the fact, and pass it around as
a ''rara avis" of wonderful brilliancy.

mails publish weekly whole columns of
short notices of conspicuous Demo

THE Democrat in referring to the
quinine question wilfully forgets that
it was the republicans took off the
tariff. 1t also forgets that the manu-
facture of quinine has been virtually
killed in this country, and that were it
not for the fact that American quinine
is so much better than any other that it
commands ten to fifteen cents an ounce
premium, there would virtually be no
trade in the American article to-day.

IN several states where the combined
vote of the democrats, greenbackers,
probibitionists and other guerrilla par
ties come somewhat near that of the
total republican vote, efforts are being
made to agree on fusion ticket to be
voted for by all the minor parties. But
while this may effect an increased vote
for the fusion ticket over any single one
of its brances, yet the probabilities are
that there still remain a few cOnsci-
encious temperance people who are
foolish enough to vote for known pro-
hibitionist in preference to q temper
ance republican, but who are not fool
ish enough to vote for their avowed en-
emies, the democrats. This being SO,
a combination such as proposed would
only result in an increased republican
vote, although a possible decreased re-
publican majority.

Governor Geo. T. Anthony, in the OF

at Atlanta on Wednesday of this week.
Governor John B. Gordon and all the
other state officers were re-nominated.
The free trade message of President
Cleveland was ratified as the sum and
substance of Democratic faith and
hope. General Gordon, after his
nomination, was brought before
the convention and made char
acteristic brigadier speech, in which he
made a remarkable declaration which
should be pondered by every thought
full patriotic citizen. In dwelling upon
the comforting fact of solid south he
said he hoped the time might come
when the solid south would not be nee
essary, but thanked God that now when
it was necessary the south remained
solid Can anyone explain to us this
necessity for a solid south at this
timer Will some good, loyal democrat
tell US for what reason parties are
divided on a sectional line now as they
were before and during the war? Ii
