Russellyille Democrat


The States of the American
Union are now to be placed in
grand review IN competition with
all other civilized provinces and
Kingdoms of earth. The progress
they have made in civil zation is
to be passed upon. The excellence
they have attained III the arts and
sciences, their skill in mechanics
and architecture, their proficiency
in agriculture, and horticulture, is
to be exhibited in comparison with
the like belongings OF all other
people on the civilized globe. And
in this grand competitive array,
New Arkansas is 10 take part.
This time Instead of being called
to Il test of prowess in war, Arkan.
calls upon her sons and daughters
to {! test Of all those things which
ma lie people in peace.
II is no less patriotism to defend
Arkansas against the false charges
that have been made against her,
and correct the wrong impression
made by these false charges, than
ii was to draw he sword N defense
OF hom es in the days OF her inva-
sion.
1t has been said that arkansas
is populated by a shittless, ignor-
ant and N &c civilized peo-
pie. We Want to convince the
world that this assertion is a lie by
sending up to the Columbian Ex-
position such tangible evidence Of
our thrift, of our progressivoness,
of our intelligent, energetic,
dauntless people. We want to
tabulate statistics of the onderful
achievements we have worked out
since the short while ago when we
were left with nothing but desola-
ton staring us in the tpce as the
result of tour years Of war and pill
lago.
We want to gather up and place
on exhibition such collection OF
field and farm products, such a
display of our timber ard coal,
such cabinets ot.our mineral wealth
as will force conviction 10 all be-
holders that Arkansas has not only
civilization, but she has also re.
sources Of almost boundicss value.

ARlCA AGnICUL TURAL AND MINERAL REGION
Already Famous for Health. Produc.
tions, and Beautiful Scenery.
A Historical Sketch and Brief Description Of The
Country by Our Staff Correspondent.

In 1886 was admitted into the
Union the territory of Arkan-
sas. 1t was at that time q wilder
ness. home of wild beasts, and
from the immense number OF
bears within its borders, it receiv-
ed the sobriquet of "Bear State,
:. nickname that has clung to it
ever since, and one that in all prob
ability always will do so. The
State is divided, physically, into
two parts, IL lowand and high
land division. Each of these is
important, uut the Iowland region
hv reason of It's bcing intersected
bv railroads, is quito well known,
hence our attention will be devo-
ted mainly to the highlands. OF
the lowIands we can say, however,
that they are Very nearly the same
as most OF thc Southern states, no.
ted for their rich and productive
suiI, and here can be raised to adj
vantage most Of the staple articles
produced in the south.
OF the highland region more
must be said. 1t would be an in
justice to pass it over with but Il
slight comment. This region lies
in the north W est corner OF the state,
and is noted as a wonderful health
giver. Here we have two of the
most noted health resorts in the
United States-Hot Springs and
Ear, ka Springs. Persons from
all over the Union, and even
Europe, como to these health
giving springs annually, to quatf
their pei lucid waters, and renew
their lease on life. The scenery in
and about these places is trul y Won
d,rful. which makes them especial
ly adapted to the invalid. Speaking
of scenery, northwest Arkansas
cannot be surpassed in this point,
and the most diverse tastes cannot
fail to be satisfied. True, we have no
towering peaks that lift their snowy
heads to the clouds, no broad lakes
that stretch their broad eXpanse
to the blazing sun, but here may
be found bright patches Ct prai
rie with the low, cozy range of
mountains, clothed in verdure, for
back ground; rivers and streams
that are famous for their beauty
the Mulberry, the Usage and the
White, that beautiful stream that
has well been called "The Amer
lean Rhine.
In Carroll county is one of the
most beautiful mountains of this
section. Fancy, ifyou can, high
? mountain, covercred from base to
summit with immense crystals,
which ref1e citing the rays of the sun,
forms beauteous picture that daz
zles the eyes of the beholder. Do

in extent in the world. The won
drous beauty Of some of these has
gained for them local fame, and
their beauty of design and real mag
nifcence beggars description. Per-
haps the most beautiful of these is
the Diamond Cave in Newton coun-
ty.
As as an agricultural section,
northwest Arkansas is quite Won
dcrful. The climate is such that
articles, which are produced, sever
ally in different parts of the I'm
ion, are here grown side by side
and produce abundantly. 1t is an
axiom that the Arkansas farmer
can make living with less work
than any other in the world, and
it is hardly an exaggeration. The
farmer here. raises nearly every
thing he needs, what he sells brings
u fairly good price, and what he
has to buy, he gets reasonably cheap.
The result is evident. There is no
necessity for that. lnccssant toll
from morn to night, so common in
most agricultural sections. The
soil is very rich and fertile in
the valleys, and river bottoms,
and the whole region is we'll water
cd.
The educational interest of this
section has developed greatly dur
ing the past ten years. Schools that
had but three months term of
school every year now have from
| five to eight, and most Of the towns
have school ten months in the
year.
There is another feature of North
Arkansas to be noticed, and that is
the mines. This is conceded by all
mineral experts who have prospect
cd here, to be rich mineral conn
try, and the few mines that are be-
ing worked, fully iustifies this be-
lief. Undoubtedly there are vast
quantities of coal, iron, zinc, lead
AID possibly silver buried beneath
the rugged hills Of the Arkansas
Ozarks, waiting for the restless hand
OF man to remove and apply them
to his needs. In Boone, Newton
and Madison counties have boen
opened zine mines whose output is
surprising ven the most sanguine.
Thousands of mine, al claims have
been located in these and other
counties, but are lying idle for want
Of capital.
We have mentioned very briefly
the principal features of Northwest
ern Arkansas Its delightful eli
mate, lis beautiful scenery its de-
STABILITY as an agricultural region,
its mineral prospects, but there is
on thing more.
The tourist or health seeker who
comes to Arkansas does not pene
! trate far into the interior where
that which is most desirable may
be seen. A couple OF days riding
on Il stage-coach, across hill ! and
vale, generally takes all appreca-
ton of the beautiful out OF him.
He turns back in disgust, and Ar
kansas is given another to her al
! ready long list Of 4'cussings." The
farmer who raises q largo crop, is
forced to keep on hand his surplus
which he cannot dispose of at home
or else haul it in wagons, thirty or
forty miles to the nearest railway
station. The miner with prospect
for unlimited supplies of ore, has
very littlc encouragementto delve
when he knows that tho cost OF
shipping will exceed the profits OF
mining. What we need is railroad
one that will unite the whole OF this
section, and combine its interests.
Give us this and we ask no

The Case in a Nutshell.

It is probably true that if every busi
 ness man in a city was required to pay tax of one dollar annually, to be put in the pockets of some large manufac- turer employing considerable number of men, it might add something to the general prosperity of the city, provided the subsidized manufacturer should ex- pend the contribution in advancing the wages of his workmen or in expanding his business, but the benefits realized would be so slight as well as precarious, and the scheme is so inherently i'm proper, that the experiment. would be unsatisfactory. Robbery is none the less objectionable even though the whole people receive an equal share of the booty. Every honest community should protest against such an iniquitous system; and the policy of addition, division and silence" while it may be acceptable to Republicans in Pennsyl- vania, will not be adopted by honest men elsewhere.-Senator Hill at Buffalo.

NO PECK STATISTICS.

The Massachusetts Labor Report A ford Cold Comfort to the NIcKinIeyites.
 The report of the Massachusetts bu reau of labor for 1891 presents statistics of manufactures for the years 1885, 199( and 1891. The presentation is such that the comparison can be made for each ot these years of total wages paid, anC average yearly earnings of employees il each of the industries investigated
 The returns of 3,S17 establishments for the years 1885 to 1890 show an aver age yearly percentage of increase il total wages of 619. The returns ot 3,745 establishments of the same char acter as those investigated for 1885 tc 1o9O show percentage of increase oi 2.65 in total wages paid for 1891 oyer 1890.
 Thus there is a falling off in 1891 iron, the normal percentage of increase of 3.54. This percentage expressed in del. lars shows a loss of $4, ,469, ,O25 in normal increase in wages. The actual increase was 3,335, ,945. If the normal increase had been maintained it would have been $7,8O4,97O.
 The number of industries embracino these establishments is seventy-five. Ot this number fOrty-one or .66 per cent show falling off in the normal increase of wages paid.
 An examination of the tables present. ing the average yearly earnings of em- ployees in the same establishments for the same years show much the same re- suits. The average percentage of in crease of yearly earnings for the years fE 10 l was O.91-a falling off of BOT per cent. This percentage expressed in dollars represents a falling off of the normal yearly increase of $113.5O from the year ly earnings of each of the employees in the establishments investigated.
 Of the seventy-fve industries included in the report, forty nine, or 66.G5 per cent, show falling off in the average yearly earnings.
 The Republican national committee is not using this Massachusetts report as a campaign document. They prefer in stead to broadcast the country with Commissioner Pecks worthless cam paign screed. Nevertheless the highest Republican authority can be quoted to prove the trustworthiness of the Massa- chusetts report-no less an authority than Candidate Whitelaw Reids own paper. The New York Tribune says:
 "No other statistical board has ever enjoyed higher reputation for absolute fidelity and impartiality than the Massa- chusetts board of labor statistics, and under MT. Wadlin the Massachusetts re- ports have fully maintained the excep- tionable character established for them by the Hon. Carroll D. Wright when at the head of that bureau
 Why, then, have they deserted MT. Wadlin for poor MT. Peck?

DROWNING men catch at straws. The republican party is, s,fguratively speaking, drowning man, and it is frantically catching at every straw that comes along, hoping thereby to keep afioat. Indeed, it is manufacturing straws to catch at. One of these manufactured straws IS the treasury statement just made which shows an increase in the treasury balance of about $2, 1000 ,OOO. since the last statement, September 1. This statement will be caught at by re- publican stump speakers and editors and enlarged upon, as showing the pros- porous condition of the treasury, As a matter of fact it shows no such thing If all of the matured claims against the treasury which were properly payable in September had been paid during the month the statement would have shown a decrease in the balance. It is we'll known that it has been the policy of the treasury for months to defer all large payments as long as possible and that under that policy properly audited ac- counts are held back on the flimsiest pretexts, and that the amount of this class of government indebtedness has been steadily increasing under this policy, which is maintained in order to prevent deficit until after the presiden- tial election,

Among others in line was General Martin F. McMahon, John Sedgwick's famous adjutant general A veteran Democrat-no man today can arouse more enthusiasm in the old Sixth corps He has been president of the Associa- t1on of the Army of the Potomac, and every Democratic veteran who served in that army will be sure to follow his lead.
 There are other Democratic veterans to be named. Among them are General Walter s. Newberry, of Illinois; Colonel Hosea H. Rockwell, of Elmira, N. Y: Colonel Hubert S. Greenleaf, of Roch- ester, N. Y.; Colonel w. B. Haynes, of Ohio; Private Darius D. Hare, of San dusky, O.; Private Irvine Duncan, Cap tain James w. Owenseand Private A. J. Pearson, of Ohio; Captain Oscar Lap ham, of Rhode Island; Captain Allen R. Bushnell, of Wisconsin; Colonel Her man w. Snow and Colonel Samuel T. Busey, of Illinois; Colonel David H. Patton and Private Augustus N. Mar tin, of Indiana; Private Fred E. White, of Iowa; Captain Harrison H. Wheeler. of Michigan; Captain William Henry Harries, of Minnesota; Private John C. Tarsney, of Missouri; Sergeant Luther F. Mckinney, of New Hampshire; Pri- vate Edward F. Mcdonald, of New Jer- sey, and Sergeant Major Amos J. Cum mings, of New York. All these veterans are Democratic members of congress and among the most earnest supporters of the Democratic ticket. They vote as they fought-for the Union and for the constitution.
 But stronger evidence of the sym pathies of the boys in blue was shown in the theater at Washington during the Grand Army encampment. It was packed with veterans from pit to dome. When one of the actors made compli- mentary allusion to Grover Cleveland there was enthusiastic cheering. Itlasted more than a minute. Many of the vet erans rose in their seats with Grand Army medals swinging from their breasts and swung their hats in Democratic ecstasy.
 Whether the managers of the Repub- hcan campaign meant to use the Grand Army as political factor or not, the evidence shows that the Democratic veterans are massed under the Cleveland banner, and are enthusiastic in the cam paign on behalf of home rule, a reform tariff and equal opportunities for all.

THE ELECTION.

The results of yesterdays election should teach a salutory lesson to the democracy of Waterbury. That some thing is radically wrong cannot be denied. The offices in which democrats should be firmly intrenched, and which the incumbents should make from year to year more and more impregnable, have been captured one after the. other until to-day the republicans have a working majority in both branches of the court of common council. The con- trol of the board of selectmen first passed from the hands of the democrats, their candidate for mayor is next beaten and the city clerkship and city treasurership follow in the wake.
 It is time, therefore, that earnest, active work be begun to stem this tide of defeat, to Arecuperate the failing strength of the party. The cause of this downward tendency must be diligently sought after until found, and when found must be removed at any cost. This is a question of such moment that it should be deliberately considered inn mediately; there is no room for delay.
 The DEMOCRAT has repeatedly en- deavored to procure united and harmonious action, but the advice was disregarded. The instances in which the good of the party has been sacrificed for individual gain or advancement are not few, and yet democrats have stood by knowing this and have refused to ex- pose it or repudiate it rather make an enemy. Party allegiance has not been properly regarded nor understood.
 We yet feel that harmony and united action is the remedy but talking about it is no use, action is also required, and that action mu be a thorough re- organization of the now beaten and his. orgadized rank and file of the Water bury democracy. This organizing and conducting party affairs in an honest, straightforward and business like man. ner, looping off every branch that is dis covered to be dead to the party, and proceeding with a desire to gain and keep the confidence and respect of the people, will again place the party in it's natural position in this city, and recover what has been lost.

AN English statistician says that pub lie wealth is made up of ten items, every one of Which can be calculated to a nicety except the value of public works, Thus land is worth thirty times the as- sessed annual rental valuation. Houses are worth eighteen times the rental. furniture, according to insurance agents, is worth, on an average, half the value of the house. In the comparison 'of the aggregate values arrived at by this computation our own country comes out ahead. The wealth of France is $45, ,5OO ,OOO, ,OOO and that of the United Kingdom $48,OOO, ,OOO, ,OOO, and that of the United States $6S, ,OOO,- O,OOO.
