DONE WITH DEMOCRACY.

Ever since that pretended, or so-calIe0
representative of Jeffers oman Democracy,
but who, in fact a representative ofthe
goldocracy Of Wall street, Samuel J. TIL
den, ran for president Of these United
States, have been trying to deceive my
self with the idea that was Democrat.
But when see in the congress OF the
United States eighty-two men, claiming
to be disciples of the immortal Jefferson,
cast their votes against the interest OF
tho people, and in favor Of the gold
mongers of New York and London; and
when see convention claiming to be
Democratic, like the Omaha state con-
vention of few days ago, deliberately
and stealthily count out and fraudulently
defeat, In the interest Of the gold bugs,
resolution, as was done with Congress
man BrYan's resolution at that COnven-
ton, then say | am done with Democ-
racy-that kind Of Democracy.
/ haYe been q practicing lawyer but
ten years, and am still young man, but
l am old enough and understand law
enough to know that the congress OF the
United States, not only has the power,
but under the provisions of the constitu-
ton should issue, regulate and control
the volume of the circulating medium
called money, and this, too, In the inter
est of the whole people, and not for the
benefit Of favored few. The protective
tariff system, l admit, is q curse to the
masses and should be forever wiped out;
but it Is secondary to the financial CUES
ton.
When hear the average weasel-faced,
hungry, office seeking lawyers Of the
country belch forth the old chestnut, 81

"you can't make money by passing a
resolution" ETC., feel like asking them
land always do when / have chance)
if they know what Jefferson, Webster
and Lincoln-all lawyers, and good ones,
too-and also what the supreme court OF
the United States has said upon the ques-
tlon9 The trouble Is they don't know.
If they did, they wouldn't express their
thoughtless ignorance upon the matter
as they do. The average lawyer, the
average doctor, the average preacher, the
average business man, and especially the
average country town editor Of an old
party paper needs educating upon this
subject. My observation convlnces me
that the average representative above
referred to, knows as little Of the real his
tory Of the financial legislation Of this
country, for and during the past thirty
years, as the average 10-year old boy
knows of differential or integral calcu-
lous. They read in the big dailieS that
Harrison and Cleveland are for "honest
mooey;" that Sherman and Bayard, and
Edmonds and Palmer all believe in an
"honest dollar" and are opposed to free
coinage, and that settles it with them.
They -flstter themselves that they have
the whole problem solved and can settle
all arguments Of the fiatlsts by the one
stale, old chestnut, ~ am in favor Of an
honest dollar"
Now the thing necessary Is to educate
this kind of fellows, for they are usually
honest, and an honest unbelief is not al
ways 80 bad, if you treat It with the
right kind of medicine. Pleasantly and
good-naturedly hand them The ADVo-

Clarksville Talent at Memphis.

The Memphis Sunday Times con-
tains the following:
"The gentlemen who compose the
musical committee of Calvary
Church are wise in their generations,
They have made a change in the
composition of the musical circle.
Miss Nettie Musser, the best organist
of Memphis, has been engaged by
them as has also Mr.. Stanley Wiser, a
tenor, who fears not the responsible
ties the tenor range, which should
include at the narrowest limit an A
natural, and Miss Emma Jones, with
an equally wide compass, which
gives her the facility of singing the
lines of soprano, although her
voice is in reality deep contratlo,
and rare one at that. Signor Cam
pobello retains his position as the
leading vocalist of the city. and in
time Calvary will have a choir to be
justly proud in all respects"
Calvary church is perhaps the
wealthiest one in Memphis and it
has always been renowned for its ex-
cellent chCir music. Mr.. Viser's
friends here will be glad to know
that he is making his mark as vo
calist in the Bluff City.

Do You Know How It. Feels P

rheumatism. Every one has
heard the word. "HOw's your
Mother % ooh. she's we'll except
her rheumatism " How carelessly
the answer is given. Do you know
how it feels to have rheumatism ?
Oh it's terrible, the swelling and
the excruciating pain OF ankle, knee,
elbow and shoulder, just as if each
Joint was a bundle of irritated rerves,
each one seemingly bent on giving
more pain than the other. Laying
awake ali night and longing for day
light, aching too severely to sleep,
applying IMMINENT every half hour to
temporarily relieve the agony. Pray
ing, turning, cursing, twisting, but
no ease, no comfort. What is it that
causes rheumatism All, there are
thousand causes. What is it that
cures rheumatism Thank God,
there Is at least one cure. 1t is called
B. B. b., or Botanic Blood Balm. 1t
has cured more cases Of rheumatism
than any other known remedy. Try
it. Do not suffer longer.

Polk and the Third Party.

President l.. l., Polk, of the Nat
ional Alliance, has thrown off the
disguise and formally declared his
allegiance to the third party move
ment. This was what every Demo-
crat in the South who remains with
the Alliance organization is expected
to do in the event that ii is discov-
cred that the st. Louis demands
can't be forced on the Democratic
party. This is what Mr.. Terrell
plainly preached in his late speech
here. Polk is to be the Presidential
nominee. What for? Why to d.
vide the solid Democratic vote of the
South and give Harrison several
Southern States. Will Southern far
mers profit by this, or Mr.. Polk, Ma
cune and Terrell? This is peril
nent question for every farmer who
loves his country and his home TO
ask himself.
What are they TO profit by this :?
Mr.. Polk hasn't the ghost of chance
to be elected-every man knows that.
Then why not stick TO Democracy
and those issues so nearly won-free
silver and tariff reform? Then why
bring in the distracting and mon
str0us demands propagated by the
st. Louis convention, which means
billions of dollars to pay Federal sol
diers' back pensions Billions more
for land loan swindles; still more
billions to buy more railroads and
telegraph lines. Then some more
billions to hire million office hold
ers to operate the railroads, tele-
graphs and distribute money. And
finally you are asked TO urge, or to
elect Legislature that will put the
ballot In the hands ofthe women, and
drag your wives and daughters to
The polls to be voted down by the
negro women.
Mr.. Terrell denies that his plat
form means this and flippanily tells
YOU there are BUT four demands-
land. transportation, taxation and
money. Read those demands and
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1892-03-12

analyze them, calculate if you can
the vastness of the sum of money re.
quired to carry into effect such legis-
lation. Mr.. Terrell says the money
can be issued by the government ard
the fiat of government will make it
good. But 1T requires taxation TO
make the fiat good Farmers, we
would warn you of the purpose OF
such leaders to drag you out OF the
Democratic party and sacrifice ala
that has been gained in twenty-five
years fighting for your rights Cut
loose from such a ship and complete
your victory by fighting for straight
Democracy.

1t still looks like German and Gray

1t still looks like German and Gray
will lead the Democratic ticket. The
silver issue, beyond doubt, will be
placed in the platform. The more
the goldbugs fight it the stronger it
grows. This taxes Mr.. Cleveland
out OF the contest as a possibility, as ii
does also the Western man, who has
endorsed Cleveland. Boles, Villas,
Palmer and Carlisle have ali allowed
themselves to be dragged into the
Wall street net. Mr.. Gray is still in
the ring, but he hardly hopes for the
first place, but feels very certain of
the second. The Wall street intiu
ence will not be spared in any and
every effort to defeat Hill. If this
can be done then New York; second
choice will be German. Indiana,
Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware
and Maryland will all vote with
New York for German, and so will
follow the solid South. The ticket
is sure to be either Hill and Gray or
German and Gray.

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
ereenville VS.. olarksvine as Tobacco
Market.

A Claksville paper chronicles the
delivery of 10000 pounds of tobacco
in that place in one day, and con-
graduates the city ON the splendid
business results by the delivery of so
much tobacco in single day. In
the same week that this delivery
was made at GAINESVILLE there was
delivered here in one day over no.
900 pounds, and over 100000 for sew
eral days in succession. Now Clarks-
vile claims to be the second market
in the country. How does Gieen
vile stand? But the best feature of
the delivery here is that it is not
merely depot or way station, but
the tobacco is to he manufactured
here. Hundreds of hands are given
employment, and when the tobacco
leaves Greenville 1T has undergone
more handling than that necessary
to sample it, 1t is ready for the con-
sumner. The streets here have been
crowded for weeks with tobacco
wagons. They are here from Todd,
Christian and other surrounding
counties, and during tobacco season
extra forces are put on at the facto-
ries to receive it as it is delivered in
the leaf, yet the factories are enabled
to receive in single day over 1907
600 pounds, while the GAINESVILLE
factories are unloading 10000
pounds in hogsheads. Say, here,
you GAINESVILLE people, come up
here and learn how to handle tobac-
co.. GreenviUe (Ky.) Echo.
That $4,000 pounds was not de-
livered in hogsheads. 1t was hauled
here in wagons, loose, and delivered
to stemmers. If all the tobacco re-
ceived in hogsheads that week had
been put with the 10000 pounds of
loose tobacco received, the Echo
would have been compelled to widen
its columns in order to get the total
in one line. By the way, where is
/ Greenville, KY? Judging from the
prominence given the town on the
maps GAINESVILLE could put it in one
of her big warehouses and hardly
miss the space.

The nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland
by the Chicago convention on sill
yer platform would be travesty on
political sincerity and honesty, and
we have no idea he would accept
such nomination, and what is the
good in newspapers wasting their
space in continually bowling for his
nomination. The action OF Congress
now makes it clear that the Chicago
platform will contain a free coinage
plank. Democrats cannot avoid it If
they would. 10 do so would be an
exhibition OF cowardice that would
invite certain defeat.
