L
tried to publish a republican newspaper
in Mississippi. The unwashed and I'M
terrified Of that section of the country
have convinced him of the error Of his
ways and he concluded to give up.
In the last issue of his paper he says.
1--WE have known for some months
past that the course of the Times has
not harmonized with the views of the
fpeople Of this section. Differing polite
| ally with the great mass to whom the
paper must look for support, we have
| felt in a financial way. the natural con-
sequence of such differences. In exer-
oising the rights of an American citizen
believing in Republican principles and
advocating them. we incurred the en-
nifty of this community to that extent
when further publication of this paper
by us would be at great financial loss.
Immediately after election public SEN
timent had reached that point when a
large number of our most prominent
citizens of Enterprise, in meeting as
sembled, resolved to establish a Demo
cratic paper and thus press the Times
to the wall. Various committees were
appointed to carry out the project, and
action was only deferred from the fact
that it was known that we intended to
retire from this paper.
We might have succeeded had we
been hypocritical enough to change our
political faith or by cowardly suppress
ing our honest convictions and senti-
ments. The Democratic party regards
every Republican as person who ia
vors 'nigger rule'' in all the horrors
that their active immagination can pic
ture. We defy any person to show dur
ing our residence here, where we have
said or done one thing which weuld stir
| up strife between the two races, but we
have learned one thing, that Radical
! paper will not be tolerated here, Of
whatever mild nature it may be.
Southern Democracy will brook no OPP
position. Everything is secondary to
the dominant party. Industrial enter
prise, prohibition, the churches and
schools are nothing compared with
Democratic ascendency. It is the poll
cy of Southern Democracy to win-and
it has little compunctions as to the
means employed to achieve that end. -
| The Senate tariff bill, which includes
a section repeating the internal tax on
tobacco. is now pending in the House.
After rather heated debate it was on
Saturday referred to the ways and
means committee, of which Mr.. Mills is
chairman. The bill is in the form Of a
substitute for the Mills bill, so called,
which passed the House some months
ago. OF course Mr.. Mills's inclination
will be in the direction of defeating the
Senate bill, as he prefers to have no tar
if legislation unless it shall be his own
bill. He is, therefore, determined to
handle the Senate bill in that spirit, and
to defeat it if possible. But in the mean
time a separate bill has been introduced
in the House providing simply for the
abolition of the tobacco tax. This bill,
in accordance with usage, should have
gone to Chairman Mills's committee,
but its Democratic friends united with
the tariff Republicans and sent it to the
appropriation committee, of which Mr..
Randall is chairman.
The Democrats who want the tobacco
| tax removed see that the Senate tariff
bill is better for their purpose than the
new bill just introduced, and they are
going to insist that Chairman Mills
shall report it back and let the House
vote on it. According to present prob
abilities it will be some time before this
is done. In any event there is but small
chance that the two houses will agree
upon either Of the bills at this session.
The removal of the tobacco tax would
reduce the revenue about $4,000, 900.
The Senate bill also removes about $685.
900, 1000 from sugar. These two amounts
will make all the reduction that tie
revenue can well stand, and will soon
end the surplus. The passage of the
Senate bill would also be fairly salts
factory settlement Of the tariff question,
at least for some years.
