now that his one plea and defense has
been taken from him2 Protesting TO ac-
cept always the voice Of his party in Con-
vention as his guide, how can he longer
plead the platform of "a against the Pres

'SS adopts that Message as the correct in
depreciation Of the platform Of 'Si?" Per-
haps The Nos'rHe american, or The Biz

Tho little band Of amateur protcctionists
at tho South are utterly wiped out by the

Dangers OF Indifference.

FROM the west Tennessee Star
The prosperity and happiness OF a people
depend largely upon the administration OF
their government. A government can en-
rich its subjects and increase their happi.
ness, or II can drag them down 10 slavery
and misery. The misery OF the past
abounds in striking examples of these
truths. Whenever the people who toll
nnd sweat cease 10 control and shape the
public policies Of country, just so soon
II falls into the hands Of politicians and
ayaricious men who manage the machinery
aud 80 shape legislation rs 10 perpetuate
their own pockets. The history Of by gone
nations shows that ambitious politicians
have repeatedly impoverished whole peo.
pie and actually brought them into serfdom
They accomplished this by enacting laws
that took away tho liberties Of the peo-
pie, one by one. They levied taxes 10 such
a degree rs To absorb the earnings and wealth
Of the people, and mako them slaves, as Il
were, 10 their masters. These monuments In
history stand up 10 remind ~ that we must
not grow Indifferent and allow this govern.
ment OF ours 10 fall into the hands OF a few.
The people must turn out as one man to
all conventions, meetings and elections.
Read newspapers and keep yourselves &c.
quaintcd with all public measures. policies
and men. Don't allow some one else 20 do
your talking and thinking Think foryour.
selvcs-think deliberately. And when you
have found the right man for office stick to
him and put him In. Put In a man who Is
soul and heart with the mAsscs-a man
whose interest Il, the same as his fellow
countrymcn, uioit he will feel that your
cause Is his--that. your protection Is his
that your liberties ar his IIartlcman Dom.
oornis must keep wide awake. Cleveland
aud bob Taylor are all right Id. G. At.
