Nevada County picayune., 1890-06-11
SERIOUS WARNINGS.

readers is invited to the important letter published elsewhere in the PIc- IAYuNE to-day from Senator J. H.. Berry to certain farmer-citizens of 1 Clark county who had requested his
 views upon what are known as the agricultural products deposit bills, or sub- b-TreasurY warehouse bills, lately introduced in Congress.
 The people of Arkansas have no truer or more faithful public servant in any station, nor more devoted and steadfast friend anywhere, in office or out. than Senator Berry, and his views upon this startling proposition should be carefully read by every citizen of the State. Every line of his letter fairly pulsates with his un- wavering devotion to. and sincere sympathy with and for, the people :; and yet his deep sense of obligation l to them-his sincere and anxious concern for their welfare-his known and undoubted duty as a Senator constrain him to warn them against the long train of appalling evils that would attend these laws. and to an- nounce. with the caudor and cour- age and respectfulness becoming a Senator, that the peoplc-the very people whom it is falsely alleged that these bills are intended to benefit may rely upon him to use all honora- ble means in his power to prevent their passage.
 These bills are so manifestly dan gerous to the prosperity of the peo- plc-so mcnacing to their very lib- erties-the evils that would follow their enactment into law are so ap- palling-that we cannot believe any argument is necessary to warn the people against them. The tendency not only the tendency, but the ef- feet, we think we may say-of all the teachings of the Prescott Dispatch and it's small cotcrie of mongrel lead CTS is to destroy the confidence of everybody in everybody else-to re- gard every public man, except any unknown demagogue who may, for selfish purposes, ally himself with any farmers or labor organization, as conspirator against the liberties of the people. This vicious doctrine of the destruction of public conii- dence has been so diligently and per sistently taught to the people of Ne yada county during the past twelve years, and apparently has been ac- quesccd in and accepted by them to such an extent, that it seems useless to try to eradicate it from their minds. But to those who are still open to reason we would inquire who are friends of the people, and who may be depended upon to guard their liberties, if not such men as Berry, Jones, McRae, Breckinridge, Rogers and Peel, of this State; Coke, Reagan and Mills, of Texas; Car lisle and Breckinridge, of Kentucky i; Vest, CockIell, Bland, Hatch and Dockery, of Missouri; Bynum, of Indiana; Wilson, of West Virginia, and Grover Cleveland, of the coun- ry-at-large: Certainly not Powell Clayton and Poker Jack Mcclure, of Arkansas Boodlcr Quay, of Penn sylvania; Standford, the thirty times millionaire Presidential candi- date, of California, and Blocksof- Five Dudley, of Indiana.
 Then we say to every person open to reason--to every person who has a just appreciation of the serious re- responsibilities of his citizenship-that it is a duty which he owes to himself and his country to heed and consider the warnings of such men as Berry Mills and Carlisle upon these grave questions.
