Shoddy as a Legal Tender.


Republican State conventions are loud
in their demands for AN honest dollar, -
by which they mean gold dollar. But
never mind about that now. There is
not Democrat in the country who OBJ
iects to the gold dollar or is unwilling
to take all of them he can honestly get.
What the Democratic party is going in
to the campaign of 1892 for, is for an Hon
est Dollars worth for an Honest Dollar.
The Sixty-cent Dollars worth for a
Hundred-ce dollar is Republican in
stitution and all Democrats are opposed
to it.
The Republican party has passed laws
for debasing nearly all manufactured
goods in circulation. Our American
woolens" were adulterated in the census
year, 1890, with 70, G3s, 900 pounds of
cotton, 1G,SG5, 900 pounds of animal hair,
and 81 ,626, 900 pounds of shoddy. Under
the Mckinley bill it is made obligatory
on us to buy goods so adulterated in
preference to foreign goods call wool
and yard wide" If We refuse We are
fined over $50 on every 800 worth OF
the foreign woolens We buy.
1t is said to be our patriotic duty to
use 'the American product" This is
sheer robbery, made possible only by
tyranny, but If the Republicans can ap-
ply it in the case of the American prod
uct of woolens, how is it that they so OBJ
ject to applying it TO silver as an Ameri-
can product? They say that "a debased
dollar" will not pass outside of the
United States, and if the dollar is de-
based it is perfectly true. But neither
will their debased Dollars worth pass
outside of the limit of their custom.
houses. They cannot make foreigners
pay dollar for yard of shoddy cloth
that is worth only 50 cents.
Their system has encouraged adulter-
alton and debasement in nearly all lines
of manufacturing, and by their laws
they make these adultcrated commodi-
ties legal tender for their face value.
We must either take them, go without
altogether, or else pay Mckinley fines
for buying full-value goods. Under the
Mckinley bill. Gl,626000 pounds OF
shoddy year are made legal tender for
wool. What was there more dishonest
or more oppressive in the "Fiat Money
theory? 1t is nothing in the world but
the Fiat Money theory applied to com
modities, and no Republican who in
dorses it has right to object to an
adulterated currency.

Words of Wisdom
IIIopkinsville New Fra. J

A few scheming demagogues are en-.
deavoring to induce the Democratic
farmers who are members of the Farm
ers' and Laborers' Union to array them
selves under the banner of the new
third party. The attempt will be only
partially successful, for the majority OF
these farmers know full well that to fol-
low these leaders into the third party
movement is to help to perpetuate the
Republican party's hold upon the Fed
eral Government. They know that it is
very silly to expect to whip the common
enemy by division of forces, and that
nothing bat disaster would follow They
know that the only channel through
which relief from their burdens can be
obtained is the Democratic party, and
hence they will vote with this party and
help to hurl from power this year the
party that is responsible for all the evils
of which the farmers and industrial
classes 80 justly complain.

FRANRFoRT, KY, May IA, 1892.
The House has at last finished the
Revenue and Taxation bill in commit
tee of the whole. The bill has been
ordered printed and will he enrolled by
the House and then turned over to the
Senate.
1t is not definitely settled at present
whether the General Assembly will
adjourn for summer vacation,
though it is highly probable that
it will. There are several mem
beers of both Houses in favor of
finishing up the job before they quit it
even for recess. The people generally
over the State would no doubt prefer a
continuous session until the work is
completed and that well known desire
reflected 50 plainly through the public
press is one cause of the uncertainty of
adjournment.
That this Legislature has gone slow
ly and perhaps carefully, no one can
doubt, and when one considers the fact
that more than half the work is still
ahead of the Assembly, the end of the
session can not be surmised. There is
some grumbling over the long session
even at this early date, and it may be
with some show of Justice too, hut the
work on the hands of this body is little
less than mountain high. 1t is safe to
conclude that the session will last ut
least twelve months. The first Legis-
lature that met after the late Constitu-
ton was adopted, lasted nine months.
We bave bigger and better State now
than then, and that there should be
II longer session of the first Leg
islature after the present Consti-
tuition went into effect is quite in
keeping with the progress of the age
and times.
The Senate Committee on Judicial
redistricting is preparing an entirely
new bill thereby hoping to compromise
the differences between the House and
Senate on that question.
DIR. Woods bill to prevent "ringing"
at race courses and fairs, passed the
House to-day by good majority.
This Legislature cannot use passes
and now it proposes to prevent others
from enjoying this privilege. The
House committee on railroads have
agreed to report for passage bill which
prohibits any person from using II pass
who is not an actual employee of the
road.
Col. Jesse L. Peyton, of PHILADELPHIA,
a former Kentuckian, is here this week
to arrange for delivering to the State
two fine oil paintings on June LIST, as a
centennial gift to the State from the
city of brotherly love. The paintings
are of Carpenters Hall and Independ-
ence Hall. The Colonel was warmly re-
ceived by the Assembly and prepara-
tons will be made to receive these
magnificent paintings in the same fra
ternal spirit in which they are given.
The General Educational bill is now
up for discussion in the Senate.
The one.half cent tax now levied for
the benefit of the A. and VI. College
will be continued by this Legislature.
DIR. James has introduced a bill

cally adding two more ladies to the

speaker.

Thursday morning when the banquet
adjourned, every editor was able to
navigate. They are altogether a
most sturdy and sober set.
Prof. McHenry Rhoads, who by
the way, has just been reelected Su-
perintendent of Frankfort's schools
without a dissenting vote, has not lost
his taste for the quill or the good
things which go along to afford some
compensation for the rough ones in
the editors life. He was on hand
with his usual suavity, talking "hoss'
with the Blugrassers and hemp with
the mountaineers.
Genial Tom Morris, of that excel
lent paper, the Jessamine journal,
and sturdy George Lewis, of the
Frankfort Roundabout, two of the
best journalists in the State, were on
hand. Each of them formerly
worked on the HERALD force and they
cherish pleasant memories Of Hart
ford.
Frank Bell, who does the heavy
work on that sound and practical pa
per, the Hopkinsville New Era, was
playing the gallant act. He is one of
the best informed editors in the
State, and is of that class of young
men who so much admire Cleveland
for his honor and strength that they
believe he should be renominated by
his party for the Presidency. They
have not yet wholly given up their
ideals. Nav thew never do so,

There can be no free people with

fore there can be any organization, a
body of men who hold to common
tenets must come together and seek

ship, therefore, at the hands of an
intelligent and free people, should
speak out in all candor and make
known the beliefs which he holds
and the doctrines whose perpetual
ton he seeks. To do less than this
is cowardly and unbecoming alike to
good citizen or a seeker for public
office.

things.

Confronting as they now do the
best element of the thinking laborers
of the country who denounce the I'M.
just tax upon the products of one
mans toll for the support of another
mans enterprises, the Republicans
are ceasing to seriously defend the
obnoxious system, but are turning to
a puerile effort to make the whole dis.
cussion a joke. But the people of
the country are in hard earnest
about the matter. 1t is no joke that
sixty,two million toilers must be
taxed year after year to support in
affluence a million of men no better
than themselves. The joke is going
to soon be on the monopolists who
through thirty years of burdensome
Republican Government have fatten-
ed under the fostering care of Re-
publican Protection. The "fun" in
politics will soon begin, but it will
be fun for the masses who through
thirty toilsome years have labored to
support these pets Of the Republic,

evening, proved to be one of the best
aud most highly appreciated entertain

exception of the singing, the special

nence; all the songs being exceptionally
well rendered, especially those sung by
