VOLUME XII.

With this paper the PIcAYrNE enters upon its twelfth year.
 It is unnecessary to again give a detailed account of it's past history. Since our connection with it, which has been since November, 1884, the paper has never missed an issue, but has appeared regularly, on time, from week to week. Then Gin 1884 the paper was usinga patent outside, and had a very limited patronage and small subscription list, printed on a hand-press and using cheap, insuf- cient outfit. Inside of six weeks it was made an all home print, and has so continued ever since. Now, it is blessed with large and growing patronage in all its departments, with a sworn subscription list of over 1000, printed on power press, and using tirst-class new outfit, sec- ond to no country weekly in theState, that cost between S2.500 and s 1000 cash. And the paper is domiciled in its own conveniently arranged office has no rents to pay, free from any debt. Fms shows how it has grown in public favor, and we here sincerely thank many kind friends, and the people of this county generally, for their patronage, which has enabled us to properly equip our office so as that a first-class weekly journal can be given them.
 We have no promises to make for the future-the past is an earnest of what the paper will be hereafter. We will continue to strive hard-do our level best-to give our readers a good local paper, worth all that is asked for it.
 As true Democrat we will ever strive for the grand principles of this great. undying party. But we don't believe In continually, all the time, agitating politics to the exclus- ion of other important matter, and will not do so.
 In conclusion, we again thank all who have patronized the paper, and ask a continuance of their kindness. Then you will ever have paper that will not bring discredit upon your town and county. To those mer- chants and citizens who have held aloof and never patronized any paper, we say, think seriously about the matter and conclude to patronize a home enterprise. Every merchant should advertise in the county paper, and every voter in the county should take if

legaIized Robbery

The United States Supreme court, in one of its decisions touching upon the present unjust, high protective tariff, characterized it as ''legalized robbery" and never was a more profound truth uttered. The very idea of forcing eighty or ninety per cent. of our people, to pay a tax averaging nearly fifty per cent. on nearly every article bought, for the benefit of few manufacturers com- prising very small part of our popu- lation, is repugnant to the spirit of our republican institutions and gov ernment. No one will deny that this high tax on the consumer is making hundreds of millionaires every year, and it is at the expense of the poor man. In an article we copy elsewhere Con 4th page) from the Republic, it is clearly shown that it makes over 800 millionaires yearly, besides the amount necessary for running the national government and the farmer (who constitutes one half of all the laborers) has to sell hls produce in free market in direct competition with European pauper labor; the farmer has no protective tariff to raise the price of the product of his labor. but the eastern manu- facturer has. and is fast gobbling mp the wealth of this country. If the tariff is hot reduced properly, in ten years time nineteen-twentieths of our farmers will become paupers, owning

The Little Rock Republican in commenting on the Clayton murder in its last issue says:
 Hence do we say, most pointedly, emphatlcally, and defiantly, that while all Democrats may not be and certainly are not either themselves assassins or the apologists of assassi- nation-indeed only few so com paratively-yet all political assassins in thls country, both North and South, are Democrats; and those who are not against are for them. No Republican, anywhere, ever mur- dered man because of his politics. or for any political advantage or gain.
 We agree with the TeXarkana Times, to which paper the Republi- can was replying in using the above remarkable language, that "Col. Blackburn is always able and manly, and he is usually fair and just; but this time we are prone to believe he is not fair and just" We certainly think him badly mistaken in making the above statement. In the first place, while we condemn in unmeas- ured terms, and have no excuse or palliation for the murderer of Col. Clayton. we do not admit that it was political crime committed by Demo- crats. We learn on good authority that Clayton's militia shot down in cold blood ten or twenty good citi- zens of Conway county, just after the war, and hence it is possible q son or near relative of one of the murdered men of long ago, saw fit to wreak vengeance on Col. Clayton. As to no Republican having ever been guilty of political assassination, we think he widely misses the mark. Gen. Hlndman, n prominent Demo- crat, was shot in similar manner to that of Mir. Clayton, just after having made heated campaign, while Gen. Powell Clayton was Gov ernor, and it is said that all the circumstances pointed to it as having been done by Republican politicians. And in Wisconsin, few days after Mir. Clayton's murder, Democratic editor was foully assasinated, and it looked as if done by Republican. In South Carolina, Mississippi, and other Southern States, in the years that are now long past, we remember to have seen it stated that Democrats were often murdered in cold blood, on account of politics.

We saw poor farmer receive check for five hundred dollars Mon day, It cost him a mortgage on two hundred acres of good land, worth S2.O00. He paid SlOO note in bank, paid his taxes, paid the loan agent s25, bought some grocer ies, and he had fully $500 left that he had no use for. He never had this much before and he felt good. His family were with him and he spent S1OO more in iinery for them. lie bought a fancy cultivator and another Sl00 was nearly gone. In three hours time he told us that he had only $50 and he couldn't see where the rest had gone.
 He owed over S100 in scattering debts and of course could not pay out with $50. He looked at the cul- tivator and cursed. He rebuked his little girl for telling him that he had forgotten to buy a pound Of black pepper. He cursed the loan com pany and offered to take sl ,ooo fol his land. That man will never redeem his land. He cannot. He simply gave that mortgage company $1 300, and perhaps some interest il the future. Poor man! He is jus now entering into trouble and th' end is certain ruin. Farmer, doe this shoe fit you?- Paris Tidings.
 Our advice to all farmers is, t' steer clear of all these foreign loal concerns. In most instances wher' money is borrowed thus it will resul in the ultimate loss of the farn mortgaged.

The Clayton brothers, in the letter on the assassination of their brother, John NJ. Clayton, stated that Coy. Hughes sent out arms and ammuni- ton to political clubs of Conway county just before the election. Gov.
 Hughes in plain letter denied the charge as untrue, and said he fur nished a regularly organized military company, in accordance with State laws; he also asserted that the guns were several blocks away from the polls on election day and not loaded.

In view of continuance of the high protective tariff under Republi- can rule, the bagging trust has been revived, and is stronger and more powerful than ever, having gained control of the jute product of the world. The poor farmer must suffer on, and the Republican party is re- sponsible for all class legislation that oppress them.

The Grant County (Wis.) Wit ness, in speaking of the death Of Jno. NJ. Clayton, says it must be added to the long and bloody list of political crimes, for which several of the Southern States have been so long and hagrantly notorious" The Witness probably refers to the hun dreds of murders committed in Ar kansas during the years lS6S-9, by Gov. Powell CIayton's militia; for getting possibly to add that the as- sassination of G. c Mandt, at Mt. Herob, Wis, which occurred only two days after the Clayton murder, was another of the long and bloody list of political crimes for which sev- eral of the Northern States have be- come notorious. It makes a good deal of difference 'whose OK IS gored." We fail to see notice that the Republican governor of Wiscon- sin has offered reward of Sl l,OO0 for the assassins. - Augusta Nidette.
 Mir. Mandt was Democratic editor, and his assassination was as much political one as was Clayton s. And the assassination of Gen. Hind- man, another prominent Democrat, while Powell Clayton was governor of Arkansas, is also one, if the mur- der of Jno. NJ. Clayton was. You are right Bro. Vidette, hundreds were assassinated and murdered when Powell Clayton was governor, and it was all right then. The Republican legislature even went so far as to pass bill forbidding the punish ment of such criminals. All this talk about Arkansas being put under martial rule, the "Southern Ques- tion," etc. is not even good nonsense. Arkansas is as great and powerful within herself as Ohio (Ohio cant suppress "white cap" assassins) or any other State in the Union. All such bosh IS gotten up for political effect by Republicans and the U. l.. party, side-show of the same cor rupt party which passed all the corrupt and vicious class legislation we now suffer from.

Let us hope this is true.

Will the assassin's gun in high places not call out the dynamite bomb in low places? Self defense exists in brutes and reptiles TArkansaw Dispatch, Feb. l3, 1883.
 The above are Capt. Ansley's s words exact, which are in keeping with his language just after the Chi cago anarchists were hung, when he said, in commenting on same, that it was ''strangulation of free speech. v His utterance, first above, is as clearly anarchism, melting to riot and bloodshed, as can be-read 1t over again and see. We suppose he refers directly to Jno. M. Clayton s assassination with a shotgun, but this is no excuse for such strong language, such as is commonly used by the Chicago anarchists. The Captain says nothing about the assassination of Democratic editor in Minnesota just after that of Clay ton, which he, in his issue before the last, took such great pains to de- nounce, and the Democratic party as responsible for it. Neither does he seem to call to mind the many mur- ders committed when Powell Clayton was Governor. E But he appears to be grooming with the Republicans, which may account for all his politi- cal actions.

Last week Senator Berry nobly de- fended Arkansas, in an able, timely speech, replying to "bloody shirt speech of Senator Chandler, grossly misrepresenting our people and the whole State, in regard to the Clay, ton murder. Among other remarks, he characterized the killing of Mir.
 Clayton as cowardly murder and one without excuse or palliation, and said the insinuation that the people of Arkansas were responsible for 1t directly or indirectly was not true. As to the murderer not having been arrested yet, Senator Berry recalled the fact of the murder of eX-Con- gressman Hindman while Hon. Powell Clayton was Governor of Arkansas, and said that no arrest had ever been made in that case and no reward offered for the conviction of the murderer. Hurrah for Berry
