The People Hate a Coward.

In a letter defining his position
against the alliance sub treasury
scheme, and giving his reasons for
opposing it. Ex-Governor Taylor
says in the closing paragraph:
81 fear that some Of our democratic
leaders right here in Tennessee are
hiding from these questions. If 1
could get their ears l could unfold to
them a secret. could tell them that
the people hate a coward. The
farmers would not give a snap of
their finger for a public servant who
has not the courage of his convic-
tions. Neither would the labor
unions. Neither would any other
element of their constituents. /
think it time that those who are oc-
cupying high offices by the gift of
the democracy of Tennessee were
taking position publicly. So far as 1
am concerned, | propose to live a
democrat; and l shall henceforth OPP
pose any man who refuses to exrress
himselfupon vital public questions"

A We'll Of Frozen Air.

Near Dayton, Ga, there is IA well
locally known as the "well of frozen air. "
In drilling the well stratum of frozen
clay and gravel was encountered at a
depth of So feet After passing through
five feet of this numerous cavities were
encountered from which cold air came in
gusts. The escape of the air from the
well can be heard roaring for nearly 200
yards. The air which comes from the
subterranean depths is so frigid that it is
not possible for any one to hold his hand
over the opening for more than two
minutes without having it frozen. A
bucket of water set over the opening will
freeze through and through within few
hours. It is needless to add that work
was abandoned on the well when the
cavities of "frozen air" were tapped

The Era thinks that whatever the
outcome of the Mcdowell exposure,
no censure can be attached to the AL
lance or to Gov. Buchanan's admin
istration, That depends entirely up
on the course the Alliance and Gov.
Buchanan pursue With Mcdowell
in future. Mcdowell should be given
ample time and opportunity to dis
prove the Americans charges. The
American has invited and implored
him to go into the courts and settle
the matter. This is his only recourse.
If the Americans charges are true,
Mcdowell is unworthy of the position
he holds in the State and the Alliance,
and should be invited to step down
and out. Should the Governor and
the Alliance attempt to whitewash
and uphold Mcdowell, then they
will share the odium that rests upon
him. Mcdowell has not only his
Arkansas record to clear up, but some
infamous double dealing within the
ranks of the Alliance regarding Ma
cune.

AS PRESIDENT of the State Far
mers' Alliance, before his nomina-
ton for Governor, Mr.. John P.
Buchanan advocated the sub-treasury
scheme in public speeches over the
State. Since he was nominated for
Governor by a Democratic conven-
ton he has artfully lodged the ques-
ton, leaving the people of the State
in doubt as to his position on the
measure. The people have right
to demand of any public servant an
expression of his views on any public
question. The demand has been
made on Gov. Buchanan, and the eX-
preston has failed to enlighten them,
consequently the adverse criticisms
upon him, and they will continue
as long "as he may remain in public
life" or until he speaks out boldly
like man and true Democrat.

But, does the STANDARD deny that
some legislation is necessary for the
relief of the people? Does the STAND
ARD maintain that there is now suffi-
cient money in circulation to meet
the demands of business? II affirma-
tive, in either case, what plans would
the STANDARD suggest? The democ-
racy of the county, and people gener-
ally, would like to hear from the
"leader. New Era.
First, the STANDARD does not de-
ny that some legislation is necessary
for the relief of the people, and sec-
ond, the STANDARD does not main
tain that there is now sufficient mon
ey in circulation to meet the de,
mands of business; but we do as
sert that no amount of legislation can
bring such relief as some people seem
to expect, and we do maintain that
no amount of increase of money in
circulation will fill the pockets of peo-
pie who do not do something or pro-
duce something to earn the money.
We maintain that there is no hope
for the necessary legislation for the
relief of the people through a third
party, or through such secret p6liti-
cal organizations as the Alliance. We
maintain that only through the Dem
ocratic party can the people hope for
legislation necessary for their relief.
We believe that when q Democratic
administration comes into full power
all the legislation that can bring res
lief will be given. We believe that
a large element of our population
who are idly holding their hands and
looking to legislation for relief will
go down to their graves in bitter dis
appointment, as the relief they seem
to expect can never come from legis-
lation. We believe with a large ele-
ment of the Democrats of McMinn>
vile, Warren County, the State of
Tennessee, and the United States,
whether majority or not yet re-
mains to be proven,) that the free
and unlimited coinage of silver will
fail to produce the desired increase in
money circulation, and that it would
bring dire disaster to the very people
who are crying for relief. We be-
lieve that tariff reform is the great
issue before the country, and that the
silver question will cut a small figure
in the campaign of ninety-two. We
are willing to leave the silver ques-
ton to the wisdom of a Democratic
administration elected upon a plat
form of tariff reform, meanwhile we
think it right and proper that the sill
yer question should be fully discussed
by the people and by public journals.
All the light possible should be turns
ed upon every phase of it, and if af-
ter due consideration free coinage be
deemed wise measure, let the law
be enacted, if deemed unwise, let it
be abandoned. We believe that the
masses should be encouraged in self
reliance and sterling manhood, and
not taught to whine and complain
over wrongs and misfortunes, either
real or imaginary.

WE FAIL to see the point Of the
Era's labored effort at "sarkasm" this
week. We thought the Era assumed
to be the only great and old reliable
Democratic organ in this section of
the state, and did not think that it
could be induced for a moment to
voluntarily surrender any of this re-
splendant glory. The STANDARD
has never claimed or assumed any of
the prerogatives of party leadership.
We have not even presumed to Nd-
use party action. One thing we do
claim, however, viz: We do our own
thinking, and the editor of the
STANDARD writes its editorials,
without advice Of either leaders
or followers of Democracy, nation
al, state or local. We are not AFRO
giant enough to claim any brilliancy
or merit for them; we claim nothing
for them but honest expressions of
our own opinions. We take the Era's
failure to answer any of our ques-
lions regarding free coinage as tacit
admission of its inability to do so.
The artful manner in which the Era
and all other advocates of free coin
age which we have read after dodge
the question as to why silver should
be coined free at fifteen or'twenty per
cent above its bullion value, is enough
within itself to condemn the measure
in our mind. If the Era is really
anxious to make friends for the
cause of free coinage, it appears to us
that it would be better policy to con-
vince us of the error Of our way, five
are in error, by reasonable argument
or plain statements Of facts, rather
than launch a column of poorly con.
cealed chagrin aud i'll nature at us in
the shape of meaningless thrusts not
applicable to us or to the question
under discussion.

Who is "the democratic household
of TENNESSEE" What are they dis
turbed about? What has John Buch-
anan done, as the Chief Executive of
the State, that so disturb them.-New
Era.
The one hundred and sixty thous-
and or more Democratic voters of the
state are its Democratic household.
In 1884 Bate received for Governor
132, POI votes; in 1886 r. l.. Taylor
received 126, 52S; in 1888 r. l.. Tay-
lor received 156,SOS; in 1890 ]. p.
Buchanan received 1l3, 491, or 1882
less than Taylor in his last race.
Buchanan was the champion and
candidate of the Alliance. This or
gAnization put a catechism to every
candidate tor Congress, and when
Democrats put the same questions to
Mr.. Buchanan, he wiggled, twisted,
and lodged them. While all promi-
nent Democrats and Office holders of
the State are speaking out on the
sub-treasury heresy, Mr.. Buchanan is
as mum as a clam. Fortunately for
Mr.. Buchanan the Republicans had a
platform which also drove a large
portion OF that party from the polls.
Had Baxter polled within twenty
thousand voters of his party's
strength in the State he would have
been governor. Thousands of Demo
Gratis who voted for Buchanan did SO
very reluctantly. The canvass was
absolutely devoid of the enthusiasm
and good will which usually follows
our candidates for Governor, and
Buchanan's election was due to great.
er apathy and dissentions in Republi.
can ranks than existed among the
Democrats. The rumblings Of dis
turbance in the party ranks have GER
tainly been too continuous and omi
nous to have altogether escaped the
argus eye of the Era. We didn'
think "the old reliable" would adj
NIT such obtuseness in anything.

OUR friend Of the Carthage Record
Judges the Alliance altogether from
its original declaration of principles,
from the theory of the organization,
and from what it should be. We
Judge the Alliance from its fruits,
and view the organization in the light
of what it really is-a secret political
organization bent upon rule or ruin.
Of course, looking at an object from
such widely divergent points, it Is
but natural that we should obtain
very different views. The Record
has fine spun theories and pretty pro.
LESSONS upon which to base its sup~
port of the Alliance. Our criticisms
are based upon the actual facts of its
workings as q dark.lanteTn political

of membership in the Alliance are
honest in believing that the order is
non~partisan and Just in its political
