A Manly Letter.

RUssELLyILLE, ARK, Aug. II, 1S30. Editor DEMOCRAT :--In the last num- Der of the Vindicator an article appear ed In it's editorials to the effect that "some of the republicans were going to vote for Howard for clerk, and that many democrats would vote for Brooks. because they knew that Howard ' as not the Donsssee Sf the Democratic par ty."
 This evidently was intended as an appeal to the prejudices of myself and friends. and intended to create strife and dissatisfaction over our party nom- nations. by insinuating that l had been defeated by republicans partlci- pating in our primary election. De- cency forbids that l should respond to the Vindicator, through SO unscrupu- lous a sheet as it Is, and therefore, l beg space in your columns, to say that it don't concern the Vindicator as to how our nominations were made, and it need not lay the sweet unction to it's soul, that 1t can breed contentious and divisions in the democratic party by appealing to such low-fung sentiments of hnman nature. Doubtless many re- publicans did participate in our prima- ry election, but if they did, and voted for Howard, it was not because they "hated Howard less, but me more" Evidently the Vindicator Is not friend- ly to Towards election, because it in- vites opposition to him in his own party by seeking to incite me and my friends te vote for Mir. Brooks as rebuke of the method of his nomination. lam q democrat. The interest of the demo- cratic party is paramount to any per- sonal preference of myself or any other individual, and 1t will be cold day when I am not ready and willing to make any personal sacrifice In the in- terest of my party. therefore urge upon my friends to go to the polls on the first day of September-as I shall do and vote for every man on the democratic ticket, from governor to constable, and let us have such rous- ing majority for both State and County tickets, as will forever fix the seal of condemnation of an honest and patriot ic people upon the Clayton-Fizer alli- ance, who are seeking recurrence of the dark days of Reconstruction, pe- riod in the history of Arkansas when murder was rewarded, theft and de- struction of property unpunis ed. and the intelligence of the country disfran- chised.
 The Vindlcator is the mouth-piece for the Clayton Fizer combination, of Pope county, and is trying to encour- age break on Mir. Geo. E. Howard, recognizing the fact that break begun would extend more or less to the whole ticket. MT. Howard is well known to the people of this county as an an honest gentleman, and we'll qualified for the duties of the office to which he aspires and the superior of any man on the Hybrid ticket, and no democrat will be actnated to vote against him on account of the contempt ible appeal of the Vindlcator, whose thrusts are letter of recommendation wherever its editor is known.

Pope County Democratic Ticket.


 From the Little Rock Democrat, sth.
 The Democracy of Pope county is more thoroughly organized than ever
 before. The ticket is exceptionally
 strong and is opposed by one as singu. larly weak as 1t is possible to make one. 1 The men on tho Democratic ticket are all old citizens of the county and have always been most prominently identifi- ed with every Interest of the county, educational. moral and commercial. The opposition is made up of newer element aud of disappointed office seek CTS in Arkansas and from other states. mFhe nominee of the Democratic party l for state senator, Captain J. M. liar
 kay of Russellville, is one of the best that could have been made. Captain
 Harkey has been identified with Pope ] county since 1850. He is we'll known to every citizen of the county as pros porous farmer, leading druggist. a prominent Mason and an energetic, thoroughgoiDg business man. He has been tried in every capacity in which men are ually tested during the last forty years in Pope county and has never been found wanting. His nom- ination is of kind that appeals to the manhood of that section, and there Is lit- tie doubt that the strong Democratic majority of this district will be mate rially increased.
 Mir. Lawrence Russell, the Democrat ic nominee z, ...::;s legislature from this ] ] .,.,:::,ity, was born and raised in Pope. His father, pr. Russell, was one of the prominent men of that region during the war. The family have always been true to Arkansss, and among the first in every enterprise for it's development. Lawrence Russell is a graduate Of the Arkansas 1adustrial University, ris- ing lawyer,a Christian gentleman and an orator of no mean repute.
 The legislative nterests of all parties can well be intrusted to Captain Harkey and Lawrence Russell. And 1t is safe to say that Pope county will give a grand swell for these men In September
 Judge Bullock. the candidate of the Democracy, for circuit clerk, is one of the very best citizens of the place. He has always been identified with the people of the county, and has the con- fldence of the whole people. Tn 1886 he was elected county judge, and was reelected to that position in 1888. That he made an excellent officer Is not disputed. and that he will contribute to a greater majority for the whole ticket is admitted by all.

 Prof. J, H. Shinn made an expla nation concerning the selection ol the Sth of July for this meeting which was so we'll received as to be ordered to be spread upon the min utes of the association. He held that the State Association and the State Normal were of first impor tance and that regard for all other associations. whether National or otherwise, should bend to these in. terests.

 The papers of the State were re- quested to publish the proceedings of the association.
 The Committee on Legislation made the following report, which was adopted after mature delibera tion.
 We observe the growing want ol normal training for our young and even older teachers all over oul State, and recommend that our next Legislature be urged to establish g White Normal Training School to supply said want.
 We believe that our public school system requires careful supervision in order that it may accomplish the great object for which It is designed Therefore, we recommend that tho next Legislature of Arkansas abolish the office of County Examiner, and create instead thereof, the office o County Superintendent in eaof country of the State. We further believe, that District Normal Institutes have failed to ac compllsh any great good in oul State, and we recommend that they be abolished, and County Norma Institutes instead thereof, be helt in each county under the supervis lon of the State Superintendent, a least once a year.

A Good Reason.

Mr.. L. r. Byrne, candidate for Su-
perintendent of Schools, publishes the
following address to those interested
in the cause OF education:
In order that you may know q few
facts concerning myself. and my oppo-
nent for the Office OF County Super
intendent of Schools, Mr.. Brintnall,
submit the following to your consider
alton, regardless of your political
views:
Mr.. Brintnall is a gentlemen, and a
personal friend of mine, but he now
holds a very responsible educational
position. which occupies q greater part
of his time. He is City Superinten-
dent of the Olympia schools, at a sal
AIRY of 81 $50 per year.
No person can faithfully discharge
the duties connected with the office of
County Superintendent OF Schools
without devoting his entire time and
attention to the work. 1t will be
seen, readily, that the position now
held by Mr.. Brintnall would seriously
conflict with the requirements of the
Office he seeks, and he can ill afford to
give up the former.
am a practical teacher, hold a first
grade certificate under the late law,
and am well identified with the edu-
cational interests of this county.
REMEMBER.-If l am elected
will give my undivided attention to
the performance of the duties of this
office.

A Winters Outfit.

The increase of prices under the
new tariff law chiefly concerns the
consumers. The winter is near and
many people are beginning Ito buy
their supplies of warm clothing, the
cost OF which is always an importan
question with persons on moderate
means. The new tariff law will add
very greatly to the hardships of the
coming season, for it must increase
the price of nearly everything that
goes to the making up of a winters
wardrobe.
1t will be necessary for the dealers,
for example, to charge about $3.50
for a woman's ulster that last cost
SIS; $3.50 for what was then $40
suit of clothes. The material for an
all-wool dress costs at least 50 more
than it did year ago. A waterproof
that could be had last summer for $6
will cost in the neighborhood of $S.
The following table shows, with a
very close approach to accuracy, how
much the new tariff will add to the
cost of certain important ARTICLES of
the winters outfit. The family as
sumed consists of a man, his wife and
a boy. The articles enumerated are
comparatively cheap but of decent
quality. The woman is given a cot
ton and woOlen house dress and a
good woolen dress for best wear. The
man and the boy are each given two
suits of clothes:

Two Prices.

Upon agricultural communities the
Mckinley bill will work perhaps its
severest injustices. The charge was re-
peatedly made by Democratic Senators
during the debate that certain manu-
facturers of agricultural implements
made two prices, one for the domestic
trade and another for the foreign or
export trade, the latter in each case
being considerably the lower. This
has been denied, but in vain. The
proofs that such an outrageous dis
elimination is made against our own
people are submitted in black and
white. The Philadelphia Times DEM
onstrates the truth of this assertion by
facts and figures obtained from the ad-
vertisements of the Ann Arbor Mich.
igan, Agricultural company in the
New York American Mail and Export
Journal, which prints special editions
for this country and for foreign coun-
tries. The foreign edition contains
the advertisement Of that company
with the same cuts as in the home adj
vertisement, only the prices are one
third or one-half less. From this, one
of the most impressive object lessons
of the extortion practiced upon oul
farmers under our tariff laws is pre-
sented. The Ann ArbOr Agricultural
company is one of the largest, if moi
the largest, producers of agricultural
machinery in the United States. The
present tariff on farm implements il
about 40 per cent, or nearly half the
actual cost, and that tax excludes for
eign implements from reaching oul
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1890-10-31
Has Wilson Succeeded
Yakima Herald.

The Republican organs of John L.
Wilson keep reiterating that he should
be returned to Congress on account of
the energy" he has displayed. They
do not seem to bear in mind that this
energy is constitutional with him, and
il no satisfactory results accrue from
this trait it is of little value. II rep
resentative does not conduct himself
so as to impress his associates and
place his constituency on level with
those of other congressional districts
he is failure. II he brings his cen
ergy" into play with the result of ridi-
cule rather than commentator, he is
failure. If this energy" is displayed
in profanity on the floor of the House
or in imitation OF the slugger, he has
no hold on the favor of the people of
this new State, where SO much of its
future is dependent upon the respect
in which its representative is held by
his fellow members. There should be
something else besides "energy," and
what has Mr.. Wilson done that the
voters of this State should feel COM
PEELED to return him? Have they not
a right to inquire into the result of his
labOrs in the high office to which he
was elected? They ask for an account
ing of his stewardship and get the an
swer that he has displayed "energy"
This is unsatisfactory. The voters o.
Yakima are aware of some of his loca
exhibitions OF energy and will not up

More Evidence.

October 6, 1890, will live in history
as one of the dark days that mark the
beginning of the oppression of the
people, the plundering of the many
for the sake of the few, the grinding
of the poor for the benefit of the rich.
In time of peace, with millions piled
in the treasury, Mr.. Mckinley in
troduced bill to reduce and equalize
duty on imports and for other pur-
poses" A large majority of the pro-
visions of the bill went into effect, and
how completely the hill is a misnomer,
except rs to the words "other pur-
poses," was demonstrated in our
stores, disgust in many quarters and
the general expression was that higher
prices on the necessaries of life will
result from the enforcement of the
Mckinley bill. To show the discrimi-
nation in favor OF the rich it is only
necessary to examine the following
table indicating some of the changes
made by the Mckinley bill:

The Seattle JOura0i has word to
say about the late political canvas in
this State. 1t calls attention to the
fact that the miners of this State are
beginning to realize the hollowness of
any professions Of friendship for them
on the part of the Republican party"
Their awakening to the truth is evin-
ced by the resolutions of condemna-
ton passed by meeting OF represent
ativc miners few days ago at Frank
lin. Just before the election, when it
looked as though the Republicans
would require every possible vote in
order to succeed, they made the most
solemn assurances and promises to the
miners that, ii given their support, one
OF the first things that would engage
their legislative attention would be
law to protect the rights, interests and
lives OF the miners. Relying upon
those promises, many of the miners,
despite the warnings of those who bet
ter knew the hypocrisy and corpora
ton affiliations of the Republican
party, allowed themselves to be caloled,
and the result was the return of the
Republican party to power. Did it
then hasten to fulfill the promise SO
solemnly given? Did it then pass the
laws requested by the miners, and
which had for their object simply the
securing of common justice? Not much.
The corporations which rule the Re
publican party would not for mo-
mcnt permit such a thing, even if their
tools had such an idea. Three sepa-
rate bills came up before the legisla
ture endorsed by the miners. One was
to prohibit the pernicious company
store system, another was designed to
secure for the miners reasonable rate
of wages, apd the third involved the
formation OF mining bureau.
Did any of these measures receive
even respectful attention? Not exactly
Each one of them was contrary to the
wishes and interests of the great cor
pOrations which control this State
through the Republican party, and the
result was just what was to be expect
ed, just what the Journal warned the
miners it would be. Each one of the
bills as it came up was killed, never to
be resurrectcd, unless pcrchance
Democratic legislature may assemble
some day mt the State capital. And
why did the Republican party dare so
ilagrantly to disregard its promises and
scorn the miners? Simply because,
looking at the majority it secured in
the last election, it fancied it could get
along without the votes of the miners,
since it would retain the friendship of
the powerful corporations. But can
it? Greater majoritics than that of the
Republican party in this State have
been Overthrown through the wrongs
of the wOrkingmcn, and the Journal
does not believe the deceived miners
will aid the Republican party in pre-
venting just that outcome at the next
State election. The miners have ut
last learned to know the Republican
party as it is, and we are very much
mistaken if they do not show that
knowledge at tie very first opportunity.
