7 A gentleman came to my room
Gp Georgetown a few minutes be-
fre / write this, and introduced
nself as Frank Mitchell from
aywood, Kentucky.
He said he was a blacksmith
and showed me his hands in at.
testation. He said he had come
nine miles to bring some provis-
ions to some poor relatives that he
was assisting, and wanted to see
me. He said he had been read.
ing the Blade for a year; that he
used to drink whisky, and vote for
Democracy but that now he had
quit whisky and Democracy, and
he said that hereafter he intended
always to vote for Prohibition er-
cspt possible in some little local
election.-Just at that black
mark a lady told me that Mr..
Mitchell is in the habit of bring
ing provision here as a gift to
'tAese poor relatives.
paid me $500 for the Blade
and said l must let it come on, it
suited him. Then he paid me
$1.00 for the, mailing machine,
then he paid me $l.0O for the
Rational View" and $1.OO for
the Blade to another man, and
told me to send it to another and
he would see that it was paid.
Then he got some blanks for
tn "million vote agreement
.apd ssil-1.Kas. going to sign it
himself, and get Others to do the
same.
He said some of the neighbors
bad said to him that Charley
Moore would make an infidel out
of him, but he had answered that
ne was not afraid.
He said that a few days before
q lady named Mrs. Maggie Boone
had been at his house, and that
81 lived in Paris and was a men,
b of the Christian church at that
piAce, of which Rev. Sweeney is
pastor.
Mrs Boone had asked him "Do
you read Charley Moore's paper?"
He told her yes.
Then Bro. Mitchell said to me
that Mrs. Boone said, Every word
that Charley Moore said about
that church is true"

Now l believe that man is
"bringing forth fruits meet for
repentance" Under any ordinary
circumstances | think that having
voted for the Democrats and Re-
publicans too is enough to damn
any man; and / do not think a
Local Option" vote would help
the man. But l do believe that a
vote for County Prohibition" if
he spelled it with big p, and
S2.25 cents to the Blue Grass
Blade, would at least give that
man a show for heaven if he were
to, die to-day.
. you can bet your sweet life

fully read the Blade and

not going to cut him down in his

There are not many people who
would with out pretty good testi-
mony believe that all of that is
true. But the very worst of them
have been published in the papers,,
one very bad one that has -
been published | have the very
best kind of evidence is true and
some others that have not been
published commonly talked about
and / believe that every statement
in that piece is true, and that
there is not a case mentioned
there that will not be recognized

TARIFF TAXATION.

Sec. 8. We denounce Republican pro-
lection as a fraud. The robbery OF the great
majority OF the American people for the
benefit of The few. We declare it to be q
fundamental principle OF the Democratic par
ty that the Federal Government has no con-
stitutional power TO impose and collect tariff
duties, except for the purposes of revenue
only, and we demand that the collection CT
such taxes shall be limited to the necessities
of the Government when honestly and econ
omicslly administered.
We denounce the Mckinley tariff law en-.
acted by the Fitty-frst Congress rs the cul
minating atrocity of class legislation; we in
dorse the efforts made by the Democrats OF
the present Congress 70 modify its most OPP
presslve features in the direction of free raw
materials and cheaper manufactured goods
that enter into general consumption, and we
oromlse its repeal as one of the benehcent
results that will follow the action of the
people in ntrusting powerto the Democrat
ic party. Since the Mckinley tariff went
into operation there have been ten reduc-
tions Of the wages OF laboring men to one

closer trade relations with country whose
