The city council burned the mid.

tussel with the school board. The
levy made to raise money for conduct

year was 10 mills on the dollar OF
valuation. This the council thought
too'high, and refused TO approve. hence
the coming together of those two
mighty bodies. the school board and
council, Friday night. Final action
of the council gave a levy of IA mills,
and we presume that harmony will
now prevail.

Three Good Members.

The Toiler says Tennessee has three
good members in Congress, and
names them: Joe Washington, Jas.
ID. Richardson and Gus -Enloe. The
first two, says the Toiler, care mem
bers of our order. Gus Enloe is not
eligible to membership, being law
yer, but he assures the Toiler that
"the interest of the poor toiling
masses should be looked after.o We
agree that these gentlemen are good
and efficient representatives and can
be relied upon to sustain the agricul-
tural interest. But what about Rice
Pierce, who is from Brother Mellow
elPs own county? Why not include
him? Mr.. Pierce is new member,
but he has been making himself
heard and felt in behalf of the agri-
cultural interest during two short
months of legislative experience.
Pierce is entitled to go on the roll of
honor. We are not so selfish as to
claim all of the glory for our Joe, but
we mean to stand by him all the
same.
Then, again, what is the matter
with Benton McMillin, who Brother
Mcdowell first tried to get to be his
gubernatorial candidate, but some
how failed to work the wires? Nc
Millin has won national fame fighting
monopolies and trusts, and in the in
terest Of the farmers in everything
that has come up. He is, moreover,
one of the leaders of the House, and
will be made Speaker of the next
Democratic Congress. Tennessee far
mers are proud of him, and his name
must not be left off the roll of honor.
There are two other good ones, but
unfortunately are in bad health.

Now Guess,

Every newspaper has its guessing
bee, and the CHRONICLE must keep
up with the fashion. We propose to
give a first class Salt river steamboat
worth twenty thousand to any one
who will guess when Gov. Taylor is
going to call an extra session of the
Legislature. This proposition is open
to all the world except Speaker Clapp
and Speaker Lee. 1t is understood
that both of these gentleman stand in
with the Governor, and if allowed to
guess they might whisper something
in tour Bob's" ear and fix the time,
for one or the other, If not both, will
need the steamer after the State con-
vention. If Governor Bob can him
self guess the time he may have in
addition, the Congressional nomina-
ton from the Third District. Now
for the guessing. Such an induce
ment has never been offered.

Mr.. phelan win Rasign.

Congressman Phelan has written a
letter to the American in which he
says his sickness makes it impossible
for him to attend to his duties, and
which will not only prevent him
from seeking reelection, but will
cause him to hand in his resignation
as soon as the contest for his seat is
decided. The people of Tennessee
will regret to hear of Mr.. Phelan's i'll
health, and also to lose SO able ard
efficient a Democratic member from
the House. 1t is not, however, ex-
pected that any Democrat whose seat
is contested will be able to remain in
Congress. 1t is a wonder that the
negro Young who ran against Wash
ington is not on hand contesting the
seat.

South, alarms the politicians of the
North. They realize that since the
South was freed from an outrageous
and oppressive policy of reconstruc-
ton, this section has been guided
by mighty and overpowering in
tellect, and that the day is not far
distant when the transfer of capital
and a large element of intelligent
skilled operatives from the North to
this section, and the increase of the
negro population will once more in
vest the South with the balance of
power in the control of the Govern
ment, and that nothing but the
bloody shirt and a new reconstruc-
ton can check or prevent this result.

Advancing Grain Storage.

Not long since it was noticed that
a great English syndicate or trust had
bought all the valuable grain eleva-
tors, Touring mills etc, in the West,
and had also taken in the Nashville
mills. Now the news comes that
this syndicate has advanced the ele-
vator, or storage charges over one
cent per bushel, and there is tall
kicking among the Western dealers.
But as matter of course The farmers
will have to bear the burden of this
advance on the next crop. The ques-
ton is how long will Western farm
ers allow the bloody shirt and par
tisan spiritto blind their better judge
ment, and support party, that ere
ates and fosters trusts by class-legisla-
ton at the expense of the great mass
of agricultural and laboring people /?

sin and Illinois will follow next.

which characterizes the speeches
made and the general tone of senti-
ment:
1--WE havearight inquire whether
1t be more in accord with tho eternal
principles of right for corporation
or trust to steal, than it is for an in
dividual to steal.
"We have a right to stigmatize as
unjust the, at least tacitly acknowl-
edged law Of civilization, and we are
won't to call 1t success to build one
up at the expense of society. The
prevailing law of commerce is ident-
ical with the instinct that impels a
tiger to eat a man. We have a
right to inquire why it is that the
great middle class to which we be-
long counting the whole wealth of
the country as compared with
twenty-five years ago-why it is we
find ourselves so much lower down in
the scale of actual real possession and
at the same ratio, where shall we find
ourselves twenty-five years hence?
Are we to have but two
classes, millionaires and tramps?
The master of the State Grange
(Whom see before me) bears me out
in this when he gave the average i'm
come of Wisconsin farmers at little
over $400 per annum. We need to
have this great truth burned into our
innermost conscience, that robbery is
robbery whether man steal a loaf
of bread or million dollars wheth
er man steal by physical violence
or under the guise of common law or
economic custom. He is thief, an
enemy of society, a moral outlaw"

Very few people here know that
Mr.. M. III. Clark, the big tobacco
buyer, is skilled machinist and cot
ton factory man, but he is, and can
handle every piece of machinery
known in the business from the cot
ton picker, carding machine and
spinner to the finest fabric looms. He
served a full apprenticeship at the
business, going through every de-
partment, and finally became super
intendent Of one of the largest cotton
mills in Massachusetts.
Mr.. Clark visited Chicopee, Mass,
last fall, where he spent his last three
years in the business, and served as
superintendent. He went through
all the large buildings of the old com
pany and noted with curiosity the
wonderful change in machinery
which reduces the cost of labor and
the increase in the business. While
the machinery was nearly all chang
ed and improved inventions put in
use, he found that with little practice
and study he could still operate every
piece.
There is bit of interesting history
connected with Mr.. Clark's expert
ence in this lineif he would write II
in detail. But the facts are, that ii
was the first step taken by the south
TO become indepenent of the north.
1t was about 184S when the aboli-
tionists were making a general move
in Congress on the institutions of the
south. The southern leaders saw
what this question was leading to,
and a caucus was held to discuss the
situation. The result was a deter
mined policy to place the south on a
manufacturing basis in connection
with agriculture and make this sec
ton independent of tho northern
manufacturers who were waging war
against the Institutions of the south
that were making the northern peo-
pie rich. This policy was to send as
many sprightly southern young men
and boys as could be induced to go
into northern factories to learn to be
master workmen and skilled opera
tives in different lines of nanufactur
ing, who were to return to manage
like enterprises in the south. Mr..
Clark was one of the fifteen young
men who entered into this arrange
Enent, and he remained until the war
fever became too intense for him to
continue longer, and he returned to
his home in Virginia, and afterwards
became President5Davis' private sec
rotary.
The result Of the war shows that
this was a wise move, and had the
south let slavery go 40 years ago fog
a reasonable consideration which the
fanatics OF the north would have con
scented for the government to pay,
and invested the money in manufac-
turing enterprises, the south would
now have been the wealthiest section
on earth. She will come to the front
yet.

The New Campaign Scandal.

Another campaign secret is out, a
scandal which smells to the heavens
of corruption. The Louisiana
Lottery Gave $4,000 to the Republic
can campaign to go to with John
Wanamaker's pious subscription for
the election of Harrison. The terms
upon which this sum was given, was
that a new charter should be granted
the -Cnmnanx- in one of the new
States, the time of the Company's
charter having nearly expired in
Louisiana, aud no prospect of getting
it renewed and also that Ex-Govern-
or Warmath be made collector of the
port of New Orleans.
The President lately appointed
Warmath, when charges were made

Let President Buchanan Alone.

The Shelbyville Gazette is pitch
ing into President Buchanan, Broth
er McDowell's candidate for Govern
or. This is not allowable, and Broth
er Mcdowell will have to sit down
on the Gazette. The CHRONICLE is
the only privileged paper in the
State, allowed to spank the Presi-
dent if he don't do right, and the
CHRONICLE fails to see that the Pres
ident is out of the right track when
he urges the members of the Farmers
Union to stand together and fight for
one common cause at the ballot box
to overthrow monopoly. This is just
the way to do it, and if the farmers
stand together fighting these mon
strous evils, they will most assuredly
fight with Democracy. The Gazette
must remember that President Buch
anan is new convert to this idea of
fighting trusts that he opposed his
brethren on this line in last conven-
ton sticking to "our Bob"
through thick and thin, and although
a smarter man than Tom Jefferson,
he may be'a little awkward in ex-
pressing his ideas as to The manner of
conducting, as it is a new thing to
him.
The Gazette says lit never dreamed
that such a Democrat as John Buch-
anan would attempt to draw that Or
ganization into the pool Of politics,
and such remarks as contained in his
speech coming from Democratic lips
are simply astonishing and create
the impression that the Speaker is a
disorganizer."
This is where you are mistaken,
Brother Frost, he is doing the other
thing, organizing and he is after
trusts and monopolies with a sharp
stick, and means to carry politics in
to the organization and carry the Or
ganization into the Democratic con-
vention and knock that persimmon,
and you Just LET him alone.
