Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-09-16

where would i get it then? The
remedy you suggest is only tempo
rary. fl borrow 800 to-day / may
be happy while it lasts, but when il
is gone and my note falls due, how
am going to meet il? / have no
credit, no one to go on my note to
the keeper of the sub-treasury.n
They all then said to me, "your
schemes won't do, they might help
you, but the poor, needy, hard work
ing people of this country need some.
thing that will make the dollars they
earn purchase their value; the trouble
is we have to pay two dorTars for
every dollars worth we buy. Every
time we make a dollar, it is not
worth more than half the dollars
worth, of goods some high protective
manufacturer makes, for it takes two
of our dollar to get one dollars worth
of his goods" One said to me :
"Don't you know that if vie trade
dollars, apd / give you two every
time you give me one that you will
soon have all my money" OF
course, Buck, there was but one way
to answer that question. I said "yes."
Then he said: "Don't you know
that everystime we buy one dollars
worth of goods manufactured by our
Northern and Eastern folks that we
payithem two dollars for it ?" / had
to say "yes." Then he said: "Are
you surprised that in the North and
East there is in circulation $75 per
capita, while..sdown here we have
less than $40 per capita ?" "Well."
says |, "What does that prove ?"
"Why," he said, "that this out
rageous tariff is causing an unequal
distribution of wealth." "Well," but
| said to them: buchanan was en-
titled to denomination. he has been
treated bad by the Democrats" and
they said, "That may be SO, but what
has Buchanan to do with the condi-
ton of our families. They have
been treated badly by this infamous
tariff, and the Republican party is
now trying to pass force bill to
keep us from voting SO they can keep
up this robber tariff, and we purpose
to look after our homes and vote the
straight Democratic ticket as long as
we live, whether Mr.. Buchanan ever
gets another Office or not. We don't
think Mr.. Buchanan is in any danger
of suffering, and we do think our
families are." "But," says 1, "John
wants to 60 to Congress, Dick and
Slaughter to the Legislature Nc
Dowell wants to 60 to the Senate and
/ want to be coal oil Inspector" and
as they walked away one of them
said, "That's the milk in the cocoa
nut, some fellows are mad because
the Democrats won't give them Of
fice."
Now Buck, really how is a man to
reason with such numbskulls But
it was put up job. That's the way
they ark talking down here now, and
many of our folks who are not ex-
pecting Office are beginning to
weaken in the faith.
BY the way, they say down here
that King is having good time in
the penitentiary, and that you
haven't put him to work. think
you had better make Wade work
him a little, Buck, until after the elec-
tion anyhow, and then you can par
don him ii you want to. But really,
Buck, it amt right to hang poor un-
influential man and turn rich one
loose for the same sort of crime.
John and the Major are shaking
the bushes down in Stewart. Please
write me at once. have other things
to write you about, but my letter is
now too long. You will hear from
me again in day or two.
Yours faithfully,
IyOJrIS.
