all such cases should be made and kept before the wage -earners. Sure ly no other fact would be as convinc- ing to them as such a showing. And already the utterances of leading re. publicans show that their cry to the voters to alarm them and get their votes was shamefully false and known to be so by them. Now, that no election is immediately pend- ing the truth will come forth. As aa illustration note this utterance by some big man called Gath on the 14th of last month. Speaking of the late canvass tbls distinguished republi- can writing Tn a pretended democrat ic paper says: "rhe republicans were engineered by both sagacity and sacrifice. The issue being made against the manufacturers they put their hands in their pockets for self deliverance. Mir. Quay and his as- sociates studied the ground and made their arrangements accordingly" ]" There it is plainly stated. The man. ufacturer shelled out T part of his profits, male self sacrifices, furnish ed the corruption fund, debauched the voters for his own benefit to save the monopolies. The wage worker is told that he must vote the ticket or his American wages cannot be paid, d,-that he will be pauperized; !; and then when the monopoly sue ceeds in the election the boss at once tells him that his wages are too high and must be cut down 30 per cent. And he has the pleasing information vouchsafed to him that he must sub nit or quit He quits and this same manufacturer puts in his place his Italian or Polander who will work iD this country for pauper wages upon which the American cannot live and thereby the manufacturer secures the greater profit on his goods. He, the manufacturer, is ready to have the fiat" fried out of him to preserve the monopoly and the party under it has and will continue to grow and wax fat.
 The democracy should take no step backward. It's position on the tariff is right and that of the republicans is wrong and false. Keep up tue discussion. Error and wrong may have temporary tri umph through misunderstanding, passion or prejudice, but the advo- cates of tariff reform have only to az itate and educate the voters to see what are the true interests of the country and then truth and right will assuredly triumph. Yours truly,

Keep Up the Work.

To the Democracy of Pope County:
 The political canvass of 1888 IS ended with the election of Harrison, and the canvass of 1890 and lo92 begun and will be prosecuted by the democracy with vlgor from the past election until the next in 1890 and the next thereafter in 1892.
 It will be an educational canvass. To educate the voters of the country should be the mission Of the party unremittingly from this time Tor ward. With no election pending, no in ticket the field, political strife cooled of, voters will dispassionate!y read and think. They will be ready to hear reason and facts and give them fair consideration. There IS no high pressure, which, not unlike a coat of mail, shuts out deliberate thought. Let the discussion of tar in reform, therefore, proceed, and their irrefutable logic of facts and figures be presented to the voters continually as they are developed Tn actual transactions. It is not extrav aganL to say that many thousands oi voters were scared Into voting the republican ticket by the cry that tar | if reform, the Mills bill and the presidents message meant absolute | iy free trade and the pauperlzation of American labor They were told and made to believe that man
 ulscturers could not pay operative American wages should the demo cratic doctrine of tariff reform be carried out. And all such like false claims were sounded Tn theil ears and thereby their votes carried for the monopoly party. The de moeracy had not the time, nor wa the voter in any good mood to heal true facts and arguments brought Tor
 ward against the question Involved I And during the late canvass It wal upon the republican policy Of decep tion and falsehOod towards the vot l CTS on the tariff question that every proposition looking to joint discus sion was summarily refused. Now that the election is passed and th' shouts of republican victory (sucl
 as it is } have scarcely died away tn
 falsity of their clamor is already be
 coming apparent From every guar
 ter comes the information that man ufacturers are cutting down the wa ges of their laborers. A registry o

 shaking was chronic,"
 "He then bought a bottle of Cheat

 "He said to his friends, though a

 "Thanks to the c. c. Tonic, Pm a

 If you ask what is the quickest, best and safest Chill Tonic, the answer will invariably be, "My friend, use Cheat mans, it is pleasant, too, and guaran- tced."

A MURDEROUS PLOT. Unknown Fiends Attempt to Wreck Fort Smith Passen-
 ger Train.
The Trap Discovered by Section Hands and a Disaster Avert ed-Either Robbery or Re-
 vengc.

Little Rock Democrat: There was considerable excitement amoog the passengers on the train winch reached the city from Fort Smith Saturday evening at 6:20 o'clock, growing out of a well founded rumor that an attempt at robbery had been made by three ruflians to wreck the train near Hartman, small station above Clarksvllle.
 Several miles above that place 1t became evident to the passengers tbat something was wrong. With out the knowledge of the passengers the trainmen had been appraised of a probable attempt at robbery and the doors of the passenger coaches were locked. Deputy United States Mar shal Faulkinbury, who was on the train, armed himself with a Win chester and, with two deputies, sta toned himself near the express car. At Hartman passenger got on the train who told the story Of how the plot lad been discovered and dlsas ter averted It happened that 8 number of section hands were out very late, and while returning to Hartman on hand car they were suddenly thrown from the track by an obstruction. None of the men were hurt, and hasty examination disclosed the fact that two iron rails had been lashed securely across the track with the evident intention to wreck the evening passenger. The place was in lonely forest and was the best spot that could have been chosen tor robbery, if such was the intention of the fends who had set trap. The rails were removed and the officers of the train notified be- fore they reached Hartman. The passenger reported that woman had overheard two men plotting to wreck thIs train and rob the passen gers. It was also claimed that the attempt was made by miners, who 1t will be remembered had difficulty with conductor on passenger sev- eral weeks ago. At different times trains passing thls station have been rocked, and last week an iron bar was thrown through the window of a passenger coach as the train pulled out The section near Hartman IS regarded by train men as one Of the most dangerous points on the Fort Smith route.

AS TO ROADS.

Wagoners on the road between Eveniag Shade and Batesvile report several bad places for loaded wagons to pass. Members or the incoming legislature should be wagoners from now till that body meets in order to see the great need of an otherwise good country. We want a road tax law Sharp County Record.
 Members of the legislature do not have to drive wagons in order to full ly understand the pressing import ance Of good roads. Doubtless ev every members mind is fully made up on two propositions: CD That there are no good roads in Ar kansas. CD That there never can be good roads under the present ''road working" law. We have tried this law for fifty years, and We know from sad experience that it is an utter failure. The system is iDdefensible because it imposes upon the people burdens which are unjust and unequal. It seeks to build roads by exterting la bor from the citizens, instead of tax ing him accordingly to the value of his property, which represents his interest in public roads. There are two other points in connection with the question of roads--a question of overshadowing importance to all our people (1) A reduction in the mum Der of public roads in each county, and (2) the levylng of tax to build roads under competent authority, just as we build jails, court houses, bridges, etc. The subject will no doubt be considered in all its bear lngs by the incoming legislature, and it is to be hoped that wise and eff cient system may be adopted.-Lit- tie Rock Democrat.
