creases at every meeting. A large and
enthusiastic meeting was held at Sulphur
Springs last Saturday. We had several
speeches and good time generaily-the

day, and though Oliver Dockery was adj
vertised to be on hand he failed to ap-
pear, but IN his place came Chas. W

This community was painfully shocked
this morning upon hearing of the tragic
death of that noble old Scotch gentleman,
John 7. Mckinnon, who resided two miles
south of VAUDEVILLE in this county He
was found with his brains blown out in
7 O'Clock. His gun was found near him,
and from the circumstances and surround

shot himself He was leading member
OF the Presbyterian church, noted for
his honesty, aud integrity The county
can i'll afford to lose such men.
We hope the State Executive Committee
will not neglect Us this year. if we are in
the back woods. We want some good
Democratic speakers. When Daniel G.
Fowle comes to Montgomery, we expect to
raise yell that will make the old "mossy
backs" hunt a hole Montgomery has
long wanted to vote for D. 6. Fowlc, and
she will do her best for him. Tell our
next Governor to come to see us. and we
will rut on our Sunday clothes and Cleve-

red bandannas, and give him the biggest
time he ever saw in the ''piny woods. :"

lncOntestably that not yard of his kind
of goods would be brought into this coun-
try if they belonged to the free LIST. And
yet, hear that some few of the manufac-
turers have great fears lest their profits
will be lessened by the reduction of six
per cent of duty! A buggy maker is
frightened because his business is threaten
ed with danger by the Mills bill, He does
not know that buggies are not imported at

nus was given; and that Cincinnati and
Columbus, Ohio, are the places which re-
duce the prices-nOt Liverpool nor Bre-

The labor market is an open one. The
laborer has no protection at all, except in
his own Drawn. The Republicans are en-
deavoring to deceive him by making him
believe it is HIS interest which they seek to
advance. The Lords of the Loom and
the Anvil" and others like them, are the
only ones which the present spstem OF tax
alton was meant to benefit. The cry of
protection to LABOR is vile fraud, intend
ed to make the country a ''splendid rath-
er than "a happy land, concentrating the
wealth in the hands of few who can thus
endow colleges, build mansions, erect
stately dwellings, and exhibit, in all re-
spects, the pride, pomp and clrcum-
stance of overgfown wealth. The more
nearly the profits of the world is evenly
distributed, the better it is for mankind
in general, and all laws made to destroy
this equality are yiolative of justice, and
productive of ruin. Any tax for purposes
other than revenue is indefensible in prin-
ciple, mi Just and outrageous
But let the people never forget that the
