j. II. Nix, who failed in Green
vile on November Is, with assets
nominal and actual about $45, 900
and liabilities about S175,0O0, was
arrested in Grccnvilc on the 9th
ultimo, by Sheriff Gilrcath, on an
order OF arrest granted by Judge
Norton. The arrest was made under
two suits brought by several Of his
creditors, and on anidavits of diff
fcrcnt persons. The order of Judge
Norton rccitcs that it appears from
atlidavits that the defendant was
guilty OF fraud in securing goods
from creditors and fraudulcntly dis
posing Of the money derived from
the sale of the goods without max
ing proper statement regarding what
became of the money. Bond was
required in the sum Of $4,000 in
one suit, and $I,350 in the other.
His bond was signed by his mother
in-law, Mrs. Flcmming, Of Charles
ton. The arrest is a civil proceeding,
but Mr.. Nix is required to appear
before any court TO answer questions
when he is wanted. Had he not
been able to give bond, his incar-
ceration might have been for an in
definite period. Other cases have
been issued against Nix and he has
been held TO bail on them also. The
bail is now about $4,000.

"TELL THE TRUTH"
Republicans Responsible for Cor
ruptiOn in State Affairs.

There has been but one epoch of corrup-
ton and extravaganza in the management
OF our state affairs since the organization of
the state government; and tnat was the
brief period during which the Democratic
party was in power.
The above extract is taken from the
editorial columns of the Pioneer Press
of Oct. 80, 1890, and the writer knew
when he wrote it that was classifying
history. challenge him to point to
single act of corruption under the adj
ministration of Gov. Sibley. has he
forgotten the Seeger defalcation under
a Republican governor? 1t is true that
the state lost nothing, but some of
Seeger's bondsmen were reduced to
ban kruptcy in making his defalcation
good. Was corruption charged in the
administration of the affairs of the in
sane asylum, and of the penlteItiary,
under the only Democratic administers
ton the state ever had? Was the peni-
Tertiary ring organized under Demo-
cratic rule? None whatever; yet under
Republican rule corruption has been
publicly charged against the Republican
managers of these state institutions.
Did our first and only Democratic gov
ernor buy his nomination and secure
his election by ''boodle," as is openly
No tsS0iiioO tiC piCSCnt SOfCllfols
and who is warmly supported by the
Pioneer Press for reelection? What
extravaganza Can be charged to Sibley's
administration? Did the writer refer to
the old railroad bonds? Ii SO, ne
knows that these bonds were issued
by vote of the people. That vote was
25,023 in favor and 6,733 against their
issue. Sibley was elected over Ramsey
by 240 majority. The vote for the bonds
must have been made up largely of Re-
publicanS, for it is a well-knOwn fact :.
that the prominent Democrats, include
ing Sibley himself, opposed their issue.
1t would seem that the Republican,
party must tremble for its perpetuity
when it finds it necessary to resort to
wicked, willtul lying to deceive the
voters Ii the people of this state can
be induced to vote Tor Republican can
didates by this system of downright
falsehood, they have not the intelligence
for which they are credited. But this
system will not carry. The voters of
the state are intelligent, and see that
the principles advocated by the Dem
ocratic party are for their best interests:
and when the sun goes down on Nov.
the 2. p. and the other lying journals
OF the party will find that lying and

Hon. kNUTE NELSON is now explain
ing his vote on tho MILLS bill by saying
that it was not a measure to his liking,
but it was the best he could do, and 50
he voted for it in the belief and hope
that the senate wonld so alter and
amend 1t that ii would meet the APP
proval Of his conscience and cOnVic-
tons; in short, he now admits that
measure after the style of the MckIN-
LEY was his ideal of tariff reform" at
the moment he voted for the MILLS
bill. though the two measures are as un-
like as white and black. But that Mr..
NELSON voted his honest convictions,
and was proud OF it; and that he had no
apologies or explanations to make for
that vote at the time, is fully proven by
the following letter, written to Dem
ocrat of his district who promptly and
heartily congratulated Mr.. NELSON on
his patriotic and Independent action.
The letter tells the whole story, and
furnishes ample evidence that Mr..
NELSON was either insincere in 1855, or
is traitor to his convictions in 1890.

A DECAyED CHESTNUT.

In earlier times the plausible pretense
that high tariffs necessarily increase
the wages Of workingmen did deceive
many of the operatives in the indus
tries, bat that has become less and less
the case, until now the party who seri-
Ously makes the claim is more likely To
be met with ridicule than argument. 1t
is understood that the manufacturers
get the cheapest labor possible, and
those most protected have in MANY
cases gone over the water for labor that
has been in the habit of competing with
an Oversupply. and therefore will work
cheaper. Instances of this are famII
lar. 1t is observed in the old world.
also. that the labor is paid the poorest
in the countries that have the highest
tariffs and seek to keep the home mar
ketS for their own people only. England
is the nearestto free trade country.
and labor is paid better there than i'm
any other country in Europe. Where
the MCKINLEY bill seeks to introduce an
industry that alleges that it cannot
stand without bonus drawn from the
pockets of the people, as in the case of
tipware or linen, it will import its
labor and get the cheapest possible.
The price of labor is regulated by the
same law as the price of potatoes. If
there are toe many potatoes for the
mouths to be filled, the prices go down.
and the reverse. 1t is a cruelty and
wrong to add to the cost of living for
men who live by daily toll, simply to
add to the income of a small class that
IS absorbing the wealth of the country.
and mockerv and frand to pretend
that this added burden will benefit the
struggling masses.
