The Louisville C0urier-Journal,
has this to say: "There is no New
South. 1t is the Old South revived,
coming up from the heaviest load
that ever crushed and weighed down
a civilized people. If by the term
New South they mean a new land
and a new people, we do not like it,
for this is the same land, and upon
1t dwell the same people, a little
older and a little wiser, who in the
old time furnished brilliant and SOL
i'd statesmen, and drew from the
soil the finest crops nature and cult
walton furnished. They were of the
best and most vigorous blood sent
from the Old World, and before the
war they reared fine cities, made
roads, improved the soil, and cult
waited intellectual and social graces.

The sugar trust is one of the
things the farmer who believes in
the beauties of protective tariff loves
to talk about and explain. A bush
ell of first class potatoes will buy
two pounds of tolerably fair sugar
in this market, which is why the
sugar trust people are getting poor
and the farmers arc growing rich.

The Policy of the Republican
Party

TO tax the people heavily for the
purpose of perpctuating this restric-
tive Republican policy, and then to
use the revenue derived from such
taxation TO substitute corporations
engaged in the foreign carrying
trade, is manifestly so absurd and
unjust that it cannot be defended
upon any rational ground except
that of a generous disposition upon
the part of members of Congress to
give away other peoples money
Yet this is just what the Republi-
can party now proposes to do, and
Senator Morrill, proclaims it with
out seeming to be aware of the alb
surdity of taxing imports to keep
them out and paying the carrier a
bounty to bring them in. III its
frantic efforts to establish itself in
power, the Republican party bid
high for the support of every dis
satisfied element and every mendi-
cant enterprise in the country, and
the account must now be settled,
no matter how illogical and absurd
the proceeding may be.-Speaker
Carlisle IN Forum.

Fison and Tanner, and declares for
protection to American industries
when it "does not foster trusts or

stand for prohibition, and pats the
State administration on the back.
The reading of the platform was

"Ncver since the days of 1873, ,"
says Western correspondent, thas
the business outlook been worse, or
times more stringent in Iowa. :"
The mill owners, mine owners,
manufacturers corporations called
trusts, and all tariff barons, told the
Iowa farmers to vote for protection
to home industries, elect Harrison,
and peace and plenty would follow
Carnegie would fill the dinner pals
of his workmen; the Iowa farmer
should have a "home market for
his grain; pork and beef would sell
for good prices, and all would be
happy" The voting was done ac-
cordingly, and Harrison carried
Iowa by 81 1000. The result-har,l
times, poorer prices, end general
distress.
When viii the farmer of Iowa,
and of all other States, begin to un-
derstand that unnecessary taxation
is unjust, and brings distress. upon
the people if persisted in3 There
never was a more plausible, and
yet more pitiable, lie than the one
retailed last fall to the farmers and
laboring men, that high tariff or
tax was necessary for their protec-
ton and interest. They were
cheated into this belief and voted
for their own enslayement.-Hun-
tington AdvertiSer.

Says the Wheeling Register: 1t
should be a source of satisfaction to
West Virginians of all parties that
the gubernatorial contest will soon
be brought to a close. The Legis-
lative committee will probably com
plote it's labors by September LIST,
and the extra session of the legisla-
turo will begin as soon thereafter as
possible.
1t is, perhaps, well that the final
decision has been delayed SO long.
The investigations of the commit
tee have shown that much that was
charged on both sides was exagger-
ated or without foundation. Parti-
san bitterness has had time to die
out, and every member of the Log
islature will be able to reach clea-
rer judicial decision on the facts and
testimony, than was possible six
months ago.
From the result of the contest so
far, the REGISTER believes that Mr..
Fleming will make good his claim
to the Governors chair, but the
public will be content with no de-
cision of this grave question that is
in any way open to the charge OF
partisanship. The Legislature will
sit as a judicial body on a judicial
issue. Its members will be sworn
jurors. They ought to, and can, rise
above party. If they do so they
will satisfy the masses of the people,
whatever may be their action.
