"Hoss" Talk in Politics.

"As little as you might think of it,
the political pot to be dished out in
August 1892, was simmering quite
audibly last Monday On the Public
Square. 1t is a little early to begin
to train, but if you will commence,
why the first thing to do is to have
your pedigree all clean and straight;
for you must be by"Old Democracy"
out of Convention" or you can't
hold Office in Maury county and,
don't you forget that"
The above is from the Columbia
Herald. We suggest that it will be
a mighty good idea for a number of
other counties in the State to stick a
little closer to the good old demo-
cratic training ring in the next elec-
tion they did in the last.

AS Premier Mcdowell and the
Toiler insist that leading democrats
speak out on the sub.treasury bill
heresy we believe the quicker it is
done the better. Tennessee democra-
cy is not going to tolerate such non
sense for a moment. If the issue has
to be met and nothing short of that
will do, let the party watch fires be
lighted Immediately and let every
stump from Carter to Shelby resound
with the unadulterated gospel of de-
mOcracy.-West Tennessee Wing.
Yes, it would be a right good idea
for Governor Buchanan to let the
people know how he stands now on
the sub-treasury scheme. As Presi-
dent of the State Alliance he publicly
advocated the measure in a speech at
this place, and we presume did the
same thing elsewhere. But as the
nominee of the Democratic party fol
governor, few weeks later, he made
the canvass "On the Democratic plat.
form" That platform said nothing

about the sub-treasury bill, and
though requested on several occasions
to express himself on the bill, Mr.
Buchanan took particular pains never
to do so in a public speech. The
Democrats of the State would very
much like to know if Mr.. Buchanan
still favors the sub,treasury scheme,

is determined to have change, and
relief from some source? And is it
not also plain if you defeat free coin

nation upon the party, that you will
drive the Alliance voters to the sub.
treasury extreme,and the nomination
of an Alliance candidate for the Pres
idency? Is it not clear to your minds
that the Alliance people are de-
termined not to have Mr.. Cleveland
if they can help it?" A number Of
Democratic editors in the State got SO
badly scared when the Alliance stam-
peded the State convention last year
that they have not quit running yet,
1t is very plain to every observer Of
political affairs that the Alliance lead
ers, flushed by their victories of last
year, are becoming holder and more
brazen in their tactics. Every true
Democrat believes that the Democrat
ic party is the only source from which
the Alliance people can ever get re.
lief. The third party delusion and
sub-treasury willapus wallipus can
bring them naught but bitter apples.
The good old Democratic ship Of
State is likely to encounter some
tough pirates on the high seas for the
next two years, but if Democratic
leaders and Democratic editors will
stand to their guns, and fight the bat
tie out on distinctively Democratic
lines, she will come safely into port

THAT new order which we men,

Fifty-hvc millions of dollars
saved to the people of the United
States is the record of the Nc
kinley law for the first nine
months. Free sugar accounts
for about one-half of the reduc-
ton, and the benefit of this is felt
on every table in the land The
other halfis accounted for by the
fact that laces, hats, cutlery,
wooden cloth, dress goods, etc,
to the amount of many millions,
are no longer bought from Euro
pean manufacturers, but are pur-
chased from Americans.
This means added prosperity
to trade. 1t means that factor
les will be kept running that con-
tinued European importations
would have closed; it means that
men and women are and will be
employed who would otherwise
be seeking in vain for work. 1t
means the American market for
the American people.

The present prevailing condi-
tions in financial circles are at
tracing more than ordinary at
tention from the general public.
Stock values are again showing
a decided tendency to advance,
and the situation generally is
better than at any time for a
year or more past. Indeed, it is
a very rare occurrence to find such
a strong combination OF favoring
influences at work as is now
showing. The predictions of
weeks last seem now to be get
ting a full verihcation, and a
comparison of the present market
values of the leading specialties
with those of 80 days ago, will
show some surprising gains.
The Improvement has been based
chiefly on the big crops of wheat
and corn now assured. The fact
that the whole prosperity and
welfare of our nation is depend
ent largely on our agricultural
products has never been more
clearly demonstrated than this
year. These have lifted our bust
ness interests out of a most un-
fortunate condition, entailed by
the serious foreign financial dis
turbances of a year ago. These
have at most opportune time,
re-established confidence in all di-
rections, brought about a frcer
circulation of money, helped the
farmer, the merchant and the
workingman alike. These are
also giving a larger income to
our railroads. imparting fresh
courage to those about venturing
in new enterprises, and increas-
ing, too, the disposition to ell
large established industrial
plants. Our crops are indeed
proving the panacea for all the
/ business and financial ills of the
past, and an open sesame to an
era of prosperity in the future
such as this country has never
known. The pessimists have
dropped out ofsight, and a croak.
er is now the most unpopular OF
all men in financial and business
circles. The growing good feel
ing is not in the nature ola boom
it is solidly based, and, best o.
all, it seems likely to keep or
growing for some time to come
We are certainly getting "out o.
the woods" and it is now per
fectly safe to do some very loud
"whistling."

RECIPROCITY AND SHIPPING.

The President when at Bellows
Falls, last week, made a short
speech full of matter in which he
happily touched upon reciprocity
and our shipping.
Referring to the former he said;
mentioned the other day at
St. Adams that this was the era
of the battle for a market. The
whole world is engaged in it. 1t
has never been our policy to push
our trade forward at the point
of the bayonct. We have always
believed that it should be urged
upon the grounds of mutual adj
vantage, and upon this ground
alone we are now endcavoring,
by every means in our power, to
open the markets of our sister re-
publics in Central and South
America by the products OF
American shops and farms
Applause. If our own laws or
any aggressive movement we are
making for a larger share in the
commerce of the world should
excite commercial jealousy and
rivalry of other countries, we
shall not complain if those riv-
alries find only proper express
sions."
Next referring to our shipping,
he said: 1--WE have come to a time
in our development as a nation
when l believe that interest on
money is low enough for us to
turn some of our accumulated
capital from the railways into
steam transportation on the sea;
that the time has come when we
shall recover a full participation
in the carrying trade of the
world, when, under the American
flag, steamships shall carry our
products to neighboring markets
and bring back their exchange to
our harbors."
And finally, to sum up the sit
uation, he said:
Larger foreign markets for
the products of our farms and of
our factories, and larger share
in the carrying trade of the
world, peaceful relations with all
mankind, with naval and coast
defenses that will silently make
an effective argument on the side
of peace are the policies that
would pursue. "[Applause].
And we are sure that these re-
marks ofthe President express the
thoughts and desires of every
man who has our national pros
perity and pre-eminence atheart.

all of the lands were devoted to
