DEMOCRACY'S WEAKNESS.

Democracy's record is enough to
bar it out Of power for years to come.
Their overwhelming majority gave to
the Democrats absolute control of
the House. The country has had a
chance to see how the Democrats
would conduct national affairs if it had
full swing in all the departments Of
government. No sensible Democrat
undertakes to ''point with pride
to the record of his party in the Fifty.
second Congress. The action of the
Democratic majority in the House has
been characterized by recklessness
and rapacity. They have demonstra.
ted their malignant hostility to Ameri
can labor by passing bills to strike
down great industries and place the
workers of the United States in d.
rect competition with foreign paupel
labor. They have voted to degrade
the currency and lessen the purchas.
ing power of the workingman's dollar.
While refusing to make adequate
appropriations for the navy and
Notifications to protect our great
cities, they have broken the record by
passing $50, 900, 900 river and har
Dor bill. In power the Democracy
has again shown itself incapable, un.
patriotic and dishonest. Its own re
cent record furnishes the most power
full argument against instructing i
with more authority.
Again the Democratic party comes
before the people as the advocate O.

ion, will be beaten as it deserves to b,

A DEMOCRATIC exchange says the
issue of the campaign will be the rec,
ord of the Republican party. All
right, we can accommodate you. We
are not ashamed Oft. tits the proud
est record ever made by any political
party of the world. That record has
become part of all the good laws OF
our land. But stop a while and view
the Democratic record, treason, op-
position to every thing American.
Which record do true Americans love.
Look out sonny you are treading on
dangerous ground when you call fol
the record.

MARYvILLE, TENN, WEDNESDAY,, SEPTEMBER FL, 1892.

Many portions of the roads need little
or no wolk to make them permanent,
ly good. Other places need draining
and filing, and yet it is not unusual
to see work wasted on portions that
need none, and the spots that need
great care and judgment left halt built
in consequence.
There is no subject which demands
the application of more common sense
and good level-headed judgment than
road making, and it is not far from
the truth to say that in nothing else is
SO much labor wasted and so little com
mon sense used as in directing the
working out of the road tax. North.
western Agriculturist.

closed and houses and ships are no
longer being built. Factory-hands,
road makers, carpenters, bricklayers
and laborers are idle, paralysis is rap
idly embracing every pursuit in the
country. The course of all this stop
page of circulation is to be found in
the steady outflow of gold to pay
foreign laborers for the cloth, the
shoes, the iron and the other things
that could be produced by American
labor, but which cannot be produced
under our present revenue system.
The convulsion would have come up
on us sooner but for the extraordinary
demand in Europe for breadstuf1s,
growing out of huge famines and big
wars, and but for the dazzling and
magnificent discovery of gold mines
in California, by which hard money
sufficient to buy an empire, has been
called into existence and exported to
Europe. If we could stop the import
of the foreign articles, the gold would
then again become more abundant,
labor would then again be in demand
and men would then cease to starve
in the streets of our cities.
Shoes, clothing and other commodi-
ties would come in demand. If it is
not stopped, the gold must continue
to go abroad, and employment must
become from day to day more
scarce, until where they are now many
thousands we shall see tens of thous.
ands Of men everywhere crying
"Give me work! Only give me work
Make your own terms. my wife and
children have nothing to eat"

"CoME on back" is the mournful
wall of the Nashville American. This
sad refrain appears every day in some
very pathetic editorials addressed to
the farmers Alliance men who were
not allowed to cast their votes in the
primaries of the Democratic party,
just because they were Alliance men.
Oh no Cain, old boy, they won't come
on back. They have been under the
thumb Of "upper case" Democracy
ong enough. A grea many of them
will come over and cast their votes
with the grand old party that has from
its birth advocated equal rights for
all.

On how pathetic was that picture in
last Saturdays Knoxville Tribune. II
was called "What the Force Bill
Means" Two colored men armed
with dangerous weapons were repre-
sented as marching white man up tc
the polls and making him deposit his
ballot. We were surprised at our es
teemed contempory for admitting such
a picture to his columns. The Tri

Gratis or Republicans, can you read
the words of treason uttered by Peter
Turney and published in this weeks
issue and then go and vote for such a
man? Is not your blood stirred? Do
you want the party who has such a
leader to have con,role of our govern
ment? Would you not tremble for
the safety of that government with
such a man at the head of affairs? Is
it safe to trust anything in the hands
of parties who have tried to destroy
it? Would it not be better to trust
that party that has been the protector
of our government and is still advo-
eating issues that will be of great ben

about it until we read it in the Knox

The Consecratio, meeting of the
Cumberland Presbyterian G. +
Society, which occurs on the last
Monday evening of every month";
was we'll attended last night both
by members and visitors.
The meeting was taken charge
of by Mr. Charlie Means, chairman
of Devotional Committee. In his
opening talk he said that il We
should cOnsecate ourselves to some
particular line of the G. E. work in
consecrating ourselves to the Lord
it would be more earnest, heart
felt, consecration than if we should
cOnsecrate ourselves in an indeti-
mite way, then he proceeded to con-
secrate himself to the Mission S. S.
on Geogia st. in which this Society
is;now taking so much interest.
AS the Secretary was absent and
the roll-book not in the desk the
names of the members could not be
called as was customary but the
leader requested each one to take
part without waiting to be called
upon, and this was readily granted,
for almost every one present took
part. After several talks in which
about half of the speakers cOnse-
Grated him or herself to special
line of work, some to the Mission
S. s. some to to thier own partic-
ular class in thier own S. S. some
to the cansa in general, while thier
worthy president j. B. Jones con-
secrated himself to the library
which through the faithful, untiring
efforts of several members Of this
Society has become the instrument
of much good, after these talks the
leader requested the young ladies
present to repeat the Lords prayer
in consert, in order to encourage
the young ladies to leai in prayer
Among the visitors present were
two young ladies from Michigan
one of whom brought greetings to-
the Society from her own Society
in the 'Lake State" and in this
greeting was touch of the human
SYMPATHY that "makes the whole
world kin" The other young lady
consecrated herself to the motto
'One soul for Christ"
After more interesting talks ana
appropriate songs, the leader called
for a season of voluntary short SEN
tence prayers, requesting the aU-
dience to kneel, and every knee
was bowed to the king of Kings
The IrayeIs were short but fer
vent and a goodly number took
part.
After appointing leader for the
next meeting, and singing favO-
rite hymn the meeting was dismi5-
sed for the usual fifteen minites
Social Mr. Oliver from the 18th
Presbyterian Church and a gentle
man of the same name from the
Congregational Church were pres
etn and thier talks were much. ap-
preciated by the members.
Two of the members who, have
been away have returned and were
present, namely Miss Mamie Oldis
and Mr.. J. Mac Gallaher,, Visitors
from different parts of the city
were present and the Social" was
pleasantly passed making new ac.
quaintances and welcoming back
the old ones.

REVENUE TARIFF.

REVENUE TARIFF.
Some Predictions made immediat-
ely after the passage Of the
Walker Free Trade Tariff,
A reduction of the prices of labor
is one of the inevitable effects of the
repeal of the American tariff act of
1912 and the substitution of McKay's
British Tariff bill. The latter delib-
'erately takes away the sure protection
to American labor which is the act of
IS42 had SO happily and wisely thrown
around 1.-THE Baltimore American,
July 80, 1886.
The tariff bill of Walker and Nc
Kay has passed both houses of Con-
gress, and has doubtless ere this re-
ceived the signature of the President.
1t takes effect December I, and as
the law of the land, it is henceforth TO
be obeyed by all. We believe the
change just made entirely wrong-yet
we shall studiously avoid "panic
making.
When the crisis has been met with
manful resolution, we apprehend that
there will be quite disaster enough,
suffering enough, because of the great
nas'sSal mistake. We fear that thou
sands upon thousands who would
have been steadily employed and com
fortably situated during the ensuing
winter, if this bill had not passed, will
now be destitute of employment
and dependent upon charity for
bread. New York Tribune, July 20,

CUTTINGS ANTI-CHINEsE BILL.

Congressman Cuttings anti-Chinese bill
can hardly be termed an exclusion bill; it is
more properly restriction bill 1t restricts
immigrants from China to certain classes,
and requires the identification of persons
claiming to belong to the favored classes by
the several Governments under which they
had lived Tor the year preceding emigration.
A question will arise whether this Pacific
Coast wants an exclusion bill or restric-
ton bill All measures of this kind will adj
nit Chinese on official business whether in
the diplomatic or consular service. But
there are merchants, travellers aud students
VINO may or may not be admitted. Mr.. Cut
ting proposes to let immigrants of these
classes III, but to require reasonable proof
that Chinese desiring admission belongs
TO one Of the favored classes. Il will be con-
tended very strongly that no interest in this
country will suff T by the admission Of real
merchants real travellers and students who
30 not propose to become laborers. But it
will not be contended in view Of past expe-
rience that we can restrict immigration to
the real representatives of the classes named
if the law makes especial provision for any
Even # courts are disposed 10 construe the
law strictly there Will be numerous cases
which may be decided according to the dis
cretiOn Of the,cOurt. 4 thOrough-going anti
Chinese exclusion bill should make some
provisions to stop Chinese immigration
through Canada. AS matters now stand the
Canad an Government collects $50 for each
Chinese landed tie Canadian Pacific Rail
road collects about half as much more for
transportation, aud the Chinese are eventu-
ally landed where the American line may be
the most easily crossed. Canada takes all
the money in the business and the United
States takes the Chinese.
