that ~ per cent, say, is ths gen.
cral average of duty on imports
that is necessary to- raise the rev.
enue for the government.
But if the Republicans should
reduce it to 40 per cent, you
would at once find that the Demo
Gratis would drop to 35 per cent,
and so on down, the Democrats
declaring for free trade whenever
the Republicans reduced the tariff
to 5 per cent.
The word "protectivc' simply
refers to the protection OF the great
Northern capitalists and manu-
facturers, and "frcc trade" means
that q man shall be free to go
into the marts and markets of the
world, and spend his money
where he can get the most and
best for it, which. it seems to me,
ought to be just as truly one of
the inalienable rights OF a free
citizens as that of life, liberty, the
possession of property or the pur-
suit of happiness.
Ex-Governor John p. st. John,
who will almost certainly be the
next Prohibition candidate for the
Presidency, is now speaking
throughout the United States and
advocates free trade.
So that the only perfection Of
the only laudable principle in
Democracy is found in the PrOhi-
bition party.

Mr.. B. f. Williams, one of the
prominent citizens of this city is o
total abstainer and a good friend
to the Blade. He spent last win
ter in extreme Southern Florida
and was telling ME the other day
about the liquor drinking scnti-
ment down there.
He is fond of fishing and spent
good part of his time ut that
sport.
lie says the first day he went
fishing he caught a great quantity
of bass and speckled trout such as
we prize so highly here.
He came back to his hotel and
sent a negro for them with a
wheel-barrow. They used all of
his fish to manure cOcOanut trees,
aud ate tarpOn that they thought
much better. (He is not a fish
liar) lie said he noticed that in
the town where he was staying
and where his hotel was "four
times as big as the Phenix Hotel
here" he never saw saloon, and
never saw a man drunk and never
saw, or heard, case of any kind
of disorder.
lie said that, lust to zee if there
was any arrangement for getting
any whisky in the town, he Went
to the hotel clerk and asked him
where he could get some. The
clerk told him of u certain house
in the city that had rooms in its
basement, and said that il he
would go to room No. Z in that
basement he thought a rather
elderly y gentleman, as Mr.. Will
liams was, could get it. lie did
not go to see.
Another Lexington man, one of
our good citizens, had gone to
Florida with him, and with the
usual Kentucky forethousht. that
guards against rattle-snake bites.
regardless of the direction or
season Of the year in which he
goes. had taken along u quart.
Mr.. Williams asked him il he
could give him Il drink. lie said
yes, but that he wac nearly out,
and had not been able to get his
flask filed anywhere down there.
Mr.. William, then mot a pro-
Eessional deer hunter, from whom,
by the way. he could buy II nice
deer fora dollar. lie asked this
hunter IL he could give him a
drink of whisky, or tell him where
he could get some. The hunter
could not do either. Isn't there
danger OF rattle-snake bites here,

denied that any criminal act had been
committed.
IF there IL no wrong in deliberately
falsifying the record of an election
when but one candidate Is running,
why not do away with general elec-
tions and authorize the Democratic
Committee to carry out the will of the
Democratic primaries and declare who
are elected.
Messrs. Jewell and Parker claimed
in substance that no great harm was
done in taking 1t for granted that men
voting the straight Democratic ticket
would have voted for Sullivan, and 10
recording them without authority.
Conceding this remarkable claim,
how do the able attorneys justify
Clerk McNamara for recording and
the judges for permitting him to re-
cord Republicans like Il. B. Hayman
and b. p. Carpenter, and Prohibi-
Zionist like w. e. Hibler for Sullivan
In the case of Mr.. Hibler the out
rage was more inexcusable than in
the other cases, as the claim cannot
be made that his vote was entered for
Sullivan in the haste of recording him
for other candidates.
As a matter of fact, he expressly
stated that he did not want to vote on
anything but the turnpike question,
and yet he is recorded by Clerk Nc
Namara as voting for John J. Sulli-
van.
Colonel John r. Allen, who con-
Quoted the prosecution, submitted the
case without argument, and the de-
fense did likewise.
The jury, after an absence of two
minutes, returned a verdict of not
guilty.
Colonel Allen, in view of the failure
to convict Saffarans and Roberts,
moved that the cases against McNa-
mara and Scott be filed away.
Judge Morton announced that he
would take the matter under advise
ment.
Good citizens of all political parties
have been watching for the trial of
these cases with much interest, and
hope that every man concerned in
the notorious election frauds of last
August will be prosecuted "tO fin
ish,n
The testimony offered to-day in the
cases against Saffarans and Roberts
proved that they made no effort to
prevent frauds, but it was not nearly
so conclusive as against William Nc
Namara, the clerk, who admits record
ing the fraudulent votes.
A vigorous prosecution of every
case might result in sending a few
election officers to the penitentiary,
and the honest people Of Lexington
hope that no efforts will be spared to
bring every offender to speedy trial.
In the interest of justice Colonel
Allen, ought to Withdraw his motion
to file away. As matters stand the
Colonel may not be able to sccure'any
but he can by a deter
mined prosecution of every indicted
officer check the tendency to election
crimes.

broke down in trying to do so, or
their paper gave out or something,
for they have aired their views
on matters and things, just like

Bro. Neal himself sent me an
advertisement two months ago
that have overlooked clear until
this day. He told me to insert it
and send him the bill, and there
was not a word said about special
rates to editors.
This was a great compliment
too, for it was q nice advertise
ment; the only kind that can get
into the Blade.
So if you see anything adver-
tised in the Blade you had better
send and get some of it, for It's all
hunky.

LECTION in attending to Bro. Meals

script of which is hopelessly lost

The gist of Bro. Neal's adver-
tisement was that he had two
books for sale-One for the body
and the other for the soul.
The one for the body is "FIall's
Health Pamphlet. l don't know
whether you take it internally or
rub it on the back of your neck,
but there are directions with
every bottle, and it's all right or
Bro. Neal would not say so.
The Book for the soul is
"Ancient Unbelievers". 1t was
written by Alexander Campbell,
and that settles it.
1t takes up CELSIUS and Por-
phyry and Julian and Josephus
aud Tacitus and Suetonius and
Pliny and Lucien and Epictctus
and all those old heritcal snoOzers,
and they knock old Bob Ingersoll
higher than a kite; and it some
