Democratic principle-thaty you rented
out half your paper to Sol. Kitchen,
in order that he might the better use
his energies to "downn the Democratic
party and its nominee for Congress in
1880? And how high did you elevate
the rental because of excess of "prin-
ciple?''
Third Was it "from principle"
that you once and again offered to
sacrifice yourself upon the affairs of
your party-yea, even to going to the
Legislature-and from which sacrifice
you were happily spared only by the
magnanimity of the Democracy of
StOddard county, which could not be
made to understand the Dre-eminent
fitness of one possessing the dual
qualification: "a born Democrat" and
"a Democrat from principle?''
FOurth-Was it ''from principle''
that you "tore up Jack" and threat
ened to kick clear out out of the traces
because you failed to get deputy
ship under Barnum? Did you want
the deputyship upon principle" or
"for revenue?"
FVth-Was it "from principle" and
from being "born a Democrat" that in
September, 1SSS-during the heat and
burden of one of the hottest campaigns
the Democratic party ever fought
you were moved to publicly announce
that you were no longer "a moss-back
Democrat" You will rememb Der that
was when your paper became the "or-
gan" of the Wheel-a society through
which, at one time, Boss Filley had
great hopes of "redeeming" Missouri
and putting it into the column of Re-
publican States. Did you leave the
"moss- back Democracy" and bind
yourself to the Wheel 'from princi-
ple," or ''for revenue?"
Sirth-Was it "from principle" that
you were moved to say, some three or
four years ago: "The editor of the
Enterprise Messenger, in the past,
has spent good deal of his time and
money in behalf of the Democratic
party, but hereafter he will look out
for number one and the party may
| take care of itself?n
We have spent not a little time and
money for the party, and have exper-
fenced disappointments-not of per-
sonal nature, however, for we never
sought personal advancement at its
hands-yet we have never felt like re-
firing and leaving it to its fate. But,
| to feel that way, we presume man
must be not only democrat from
| principle,n but also "born a Demo-
crat."

The st. Joe Lead Co. has just de-
clared dividend for the year of AZ
per cent! It's employees, many ofthem
work for dollar day. Who gets the
benefits of protectid4-th employer or
the laborer? Let the above answer.
AS for us we believe in protecting the
con sumner little, too, even at the risk
of reducing the percentage of profits to
the mine owners. The truth is, your
protection is a steal from the consumer
not for the benefit of the laborer, but
to add to the horded riches of his en-
ployer. Forty-two per cent. profit in
one year, forced from the pockets OF
the unprotected classes by law, is an
outrage upon all decency; and the
time will soon come when people will
be amazed that such a moDstrosity
could ever exist "by the consent of the
governed"

According to a Globe Democrat spec
ial Collector Wenneker has been lect-
ured and varied by both the President
and the Internal Revenue Commits
sioner on the subject of making ap-
pointments to "harmonize' local bosses
who are not in favor with the Admin
istration. The true inwardness of the
spoils system was revealed when he
was told that it was not enough for him
to appoint competent Republicans and
that lie must beware of appointing
suboriinates who may not he in ac-
cord with the Administrations" The
appointment machine must be An Ad-
ministration machine, not mere party
machine, aud Republicans who cannot
be trusted on the second term question
might as well be Democrats, SO far as
places at the trough are coucerned.-

When the law governing elections is so

That is Il square. up and down, cheStnutty
Republican lie, and you ought to be ashamed
to reproduce it. Take the ignorant, lazy in
capable Niger voters out of the q. o. p, and
where would it be:-IRONTON REGISTER.
BIO. AXE, where was the &. p. before
the Ignorant, lazy, incapable niggers" be-
came voters -Fdrmington Democrat.
Bro. Cundiff, youth and inexperience
have never appealed to US in vain,
where the imparting of relief and in
formation were within our power, and
we cheerfully respond to your ques-
ton. Abraham Lincoln was the first
Republican President. He ran in 1850,
and received only / SOC, 352 votes out of
a total suffrage of A SIC, So lacking over
one million of as many votes as were
given his competitors at that election.
There were four candidates. In 1864,
in the midst of the civil war, Lincoln
received majority of 407 ,342, against
ing In 1868, with the negroes voting.
with hundreds of thousands of white
men DISTINGUISHED in all the Southern
and border States, and three entire
States Mississippi, Texas and Virginia
denied the right of participating,
Grants majority was only 305, 45S. In
1872, when Greeley ran, your party
got majority of 727 ,995; in 1876. Til
den, who was swindled out of the
Presidency, received a popular MAORI
ty OF 156, OO9; in 1880, Garfield's major
ity was $4,000; in 1884, Cleveland's
plurality was about $1,000; while
Blaine fell 35l, 755 short of a majority;
and in 1883 Cleveland received about
100000 votes more than Harrison,
against whom there was, altogether, a
majority of nearly half million.
Now, the negro vote, according to
the U. s. Census Report of 1880, in
that year amounted to alnost million
and half. You say that all negroes,
if permitted, would vote the Republic
can ticket, but putting that aside, we
think it liberal to estimate that not
more than one in five is Democrat.
Then in the negro ranks alone is Re-
publican majority of 900, 900 to be over
come by white votes, aud at no cleo
ton, save one--when Greedy ran as
Liberal, and hundreds of thousands of
Democrats refused to vote-has your
popular majority amounted to over
10000. Again we ask, where would
the e. o. p. be without the ignorant
negro vote? And answer, "in the
soup," for all AMI aye.

TER become one through policy. The editor
of this paper is a democrat from principle.
The editor of the REGISTER is a democrat
for revenue. and it is only for revenue that
he became one. The editor of this paper is
for what is right. The editor of the REGIS
TER is for what pays.-Enterprise- MeSSen-

and, so far as they relate 10 the editor
of the REGISTER, we call upon you to
substantiate them by conclusive evil

As to your being "a Democrat from

fore saying that word, however, we
curiously inquire: if you were "born a

put it more logically, if you are "a

Now, as to the "principle" which
makes you Democrat:
First-Was it "principle" that made

A HOPELESS Prospect.

The Philadelphia RUening Telegraph,
Republican paper of liberal and en-
| lightened views, speaking of the neces-
| sity of revising the tariff and of the
present Congress doing anything in
that line, says that the existing tariff
"is growing obnoxious for the reason
that it is discriminatory in favor of a
class, the moneyed class, and against
the non-moneyed class" This view
of its character presents sufficient
reason why it should be reformed. yet
the Republican Telegraph does not see
much prospect of such reformation, for
it believes the committee is not in quest
of facts that would make remedial
measures appear to be necessary, its
hearings having been "all One-sided,
of consumers, not being represented at
all.n
We are surprised that so intelligent
paper as the Telegraph should have
expected anything else. For very nat
ural and evident reasons the Republi-
can managers can not handle the tariff
question without Difference to the
money interest to which it is indebted
for the means of its political success.
After the contributions of "fat" by
which the party's pathway to victory
was fabricated last year, the trusts and
monopolIes feel that they have thu
right to go before the committee and
demand the tariff they. want, and
the party leaders will be compelled TO
recognize it.
The Telegraph very correctly fore.
casts the effect of such tariff revision"
as the committee under the cirucm-
stances is quite sure to recommend,
saying:
If nothing should be done by the present
congress about the tariff, it is confidently be-
lieved that not only New York will be
doubtful State in 1892, out Illinois, Iowa and
Massachusetts, also. The detection in the
latter State with respect to free raw material
is serious, and it must be offset by gaining
the favor of the masses for tariff law which.
while fully protecting capital and labor shall
not gorge the pockets of an oyer-protected
class. The Western farmers, who want
lower duties, must be considered; and all
duties which are hairs breath above the
point of real protection should be reduced.
The worst mistake that the majority of con-
gress could make would be that of neglect
ing to revise the present unpopular tariff
law.
1t is positively certain that nothing
will be done in the way of amending
our defective tariff laws and relieving
the people of an oppressive system of
taxation until radical tariff reform is
brought about under a Democratic adj
ministration of the experimentation
ocrotic Waterman.
