Mr.. Wilson has reflected more credit on
the State than any man who ever represent
ed it in either branch of Congress, and, If
the people of his district should fail to re-
elect him because he has bravely done his
duty, it will be an exhibition of shameful
ingratitude. Greenbrier Independent d.

The Democratic party will never do any
thing with the tariff if it stops to consider
every individual interest which may fancy
itself injured by changes. 1t is impossible
to frame a bill which will not hurt some
body. The point to remember is that the
present laws are hurting everybody.-lldr-

Never in its long and illustrious and event
full history has the Democratic party so con-
clusyely proved itselfthe sturdy and staunch
champion of the people-the valiant aud
vigilant guardian of the interests and liber-
ties OF the masses as by the formulation of
the Wilson tariff bill which proclaims the
commercial emancipation of the country

Enumeration for the products of its sweat

We did not expect the committee to go as
far as it did, and our candid judgment is
that mistake was made when coal and other
articles were put on the free list, but the
action of the committee is against US, aud as
we believe they have the best interest of the
country and of the Democratic party at
heart, we will submit to the powers that
be, and time alone will tell who was right.
We have expressed our opinions fearlessly
for we belive our position is the correct one,
but now hope the people will ratfy the
action of the Democratic majority of the COM
mittee and that the best good Of the great
