for which the government has no
need. And it is not necessary to put
another ticket in the field to represent
the interest Of the farmers, as the
Democratic party already does that.
Any farmer who studies the tariff
question cannot fail to be convinced
that the Democratic party is in line
with his interests. The farmers of
this country have been systematical-
ly plundered for years by the tariff,
for no other purpose than to make
millionaires of few manufacturers,
and as thepurpose of the Republican
party is to keep up this system of
robbery, it will not take farmers long
to conclude which party they should
support. They are for the party
which most nearly represents their
interest, and that, of course, is the
Democratic party.

CHAIRMAN WILLIAMS BIG
SCHEME.
Coming Love Feasts in the Democratic
Household.

Nashville Democrat.
Chairman Williams of the state eX-
ecutive committee took the recent
jaunt through West Tennessee with
Gov. Taylor, and during the trip our
correspondent talked with him in
reference to the work his committee
was doing, and what it had in con-
temptation. He found the brainy
young leader full of hope, and hold
ing in reserve some big artillery
guns. The plans are not entirely
ripened yet, but the shadows of COM
ing events .portend great love feasts
in the democratic household. The
last two weeks, when the joint can
vass will have been finished, will be
given over to great barbecues, such
as the people of Tennessee never saw
before. About one dozen of these
mammoth meetings will be held in
the State, scattered convenient dis
tances one from the other and located
at points most accessible to number
of counties. Gov. Taylor will be at
nll thcS" love r'ls's. and will h" ry-
pected to give his experience on each
occasion. The best speakers of the
state will lend their fire to the patri-
otto flame, and other great men from
sister states will join in the glorious
work. Large, shady woods will be
chosen for the grounds, and four
speakers stands will be erected and
four speakers will address the multi
tude from different quarters at the
same time, and from three to four
bands will be engaged to follow up
the meetings from day to day.
Barbecued dinners will be prepared
for $4,000 people, and to help to de-
fray the expenses Of these great gath
erings the state committee will expect
assistance from the locations where
they are given. Col. Williams says
the people are tired of the canvass be-
ing run in the same old rut, and he
proposes to interest them with some
thing new. If the gentleman sue
ceeds in carrying out his plans and
giving them the magnitude he
proposes, he will carry this state for
the whole ticket by 10000 majority
and make this campaign memora-
BILE one in the history of Tennessee.

Boiler Explosion at South pittsburg.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Sept. "a
terrible boiler explosion took place at
the Perry Stove works, at South
Pittsburg, Tenn, at $3.50 a. m. A
large section of the boiler was blown
a distance of over 100 yards and pass
ed through one side of Deitzen's store.
The following persons were instant
ly killed: Charles Taylor, superin-
tendent; j. B. Mills, machinist M.
Donovan, foreman of the mounting
department; George N. Carter, jewel
err, of South Pittsburg; VIM. Plumlee
of Winchester, Tenn, and VIM. Wat
son, a moulder. William Gross, a
machinist, and Rock Scruggs, a
moulder, are so badly hurt that they
will both die. The back of Donovan's
head was entirely blown off. Per-
rvs stove works were entirely de-
stroyed by fire only few months
ago, and they only resumed business
recently, and were getting in fair
running shape. A large portion of
the building in which the boiler was
standing was completely demolished.

A CALL has been issued upon the
farmers of the United States by F. X,
MOreland, Secretary of the Ameri-
can Agricultural and Dairy Associa-
ton, to meet in a National conven-
ton at New York on the 25th inst,
to consider the tariff question in its
relation to agriculture and the tillers
of the soil, and to consider whether
these interests require independent
nominations for President and Vice
President, members of Congress, etc.,
or whether to support the nominees
of the party which more nearly rep
resents their interests. In the very
beginning of the call the case is erro-
neously stated as follows: "The lines
of the two great political parties are
distinctly drawn on the issues of Free
Trade or Protection. This is now
conceded by both. The future well
fare of the whole country is involved
in the decision, for the successful or
ganization will accept the result as
an endorsement of its policy and
broaden the basis until absolute free
trade or emphatic protection prevails
The Democratic party lines are not
distinctively drawn upon the issue of
free trade. The question is simply
whether the tariff shall be reduced to
a point where the revenue derived
from it will meet all demands of the
government, without any surplus, or
remain at the present figures, enrich
ing few and impoverishing the
many, and threatening ruin to the
country by withdrawing annually
from circulation millions of dollars

THE Nashville Democrat and
Memphis Avalanche both spread
themselves on their trade editions
last Saturday. The Democrat issued
a twelve page paper, and the Ava
lanche twenty-four. Both gave
exhaustive trade reviews of the cities
in which they are published, and
both were most creditable papers.
Such papers are always indicative of
prosperous business in the cities
which send them out. Nothing
shows up the enterprise of town or
city so prominently as live news
paper. 1t is as sure an index of the
ebb and flow of business as a cork on
water.

About the Way of it up Here.

The Nashville Banner thus quite
accurately portrays the political
situation as it looks in this section:
One who reads the two morning pa
pers of this city and accepts their
statements as conclusive, would
naturally suppose that there was a
good deal of political excitement in
Tennessee in this good year of grace,
1888. The truth is there never was
less enthusiasm in a political cam
paign in the state, The people have
failed to catch on to the hurrah
business, and none are better aware of
this fact than the able speakers who
are engaged in the work of the
present canvass. The farmers of
Tennessee have been surfeited on po-
litical excitement, and are now
settled down to a campaign in which
there is some prospect of full larder
and something to fall back on in that
proverbial rainy day. In other
words, they have made up their
minds to let the candidates and the
stumpers do the hallooing while they
do the voting. OF course there will
be manifested more activity and
interest in the campaign later, but
one can hardly expect an exhibition
of unusual enthusiasm. The people
this year will doubtless do more
listening, observing and thinking
than hurrahing

THE Shelbyville Gazette opposes
the proposed conventional interest
law, and says: "No man living can
long hold out and pay more than six
per cent interest on money. Sooner
or later he will 60 under" Nine
tenths of the money loaned by banks
in Tennessee is at a greater rate of
interest than six per cent. If the
Gazette be correct why is it that all
of the business men in Tennessee who
borrow money from banks do not
fail? The value of money fiuctuates
the same as the value of wheat, corn
or mules, and the State has no more
right to put maximum valuation
upon money than it has upon the
other articles named. The State has
perfect right 70 say what rate Of in
terest it will pay on its own financial
transactions, but a free and enlight-
ened people should certainly have
the privilege of attending to their
own business in money matters as
well as with other private property.
Men do borrow money in this State
every day at more than six per cent
interest, and will continue to do so as
long as it proves profitable. What is
the sense then in keeping a law on
the statute books which has no other
effect than to make hundreds Of good
men law-breakers? Our present
interest law keeps thousands of dol
lars out of Tennessee which would be
invested in business enterprises in
the State under a conventional rate
of interest.

also present. He is small slight man,
not weighing more than 125 to 80 pounds,
rather narrow and low forehead, small gray
eyes, and wears full beard and moustache..
His general appearance would not mark

daring qualities. On opening the case it
was found material witnesses were absent,
and by agreement the trial was postponed
till Wednesday at l o'clock p. m, to Sc
cure their attendance.
