The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1893-07-05

THE Hiwassee News, Democratic,
says: "What we need-and we hon
estly believe, all we need at present
to bring back the better times is a re-
turn of confidence" Yes brother that
is all in the world that is needed. The
protective tariff and the industries that
have been built up by it are just the
same to-day as they were before Mr..
Cleveland was elected; our county has
as many natural resources as ever; ev
erything is in condition to easily glide
into good times if confidence could be
restored. All, brother, there's the
rub. Confidence was never disturbed
under Republican rule and never
would have been disturbed if a Dem
ocratic president had not been elected
for then the public would have known
that the country would have went
along as heretofore; but now they
know that if the administration fol-
lows out its platform theory all these
things such as protection, sound mon
ey and etc, that have kept us prosper
Gus, will be torn up root and branch
and prosperity scattered to the fore
ends OF the earth. How are they to
have confidence when such condi
ton confronts them? IfGrover Cleve.
land had the power to decide and
would announce that the old con.
dition Of things would be followed out
during his term, confidence would be
restored and good times come back.

IT would appear that the Lord was
taking especial care of Tennessee.
On no other theory is it possible to
understand how we have got on so
well at Nashville. Memphis Appeal
Avalanche.
From the above quotation from a
Democratic paper, a sermon might
be preached. 1t is with fear and
trembling that poor old Tennessee
looks forward to the convening of her
Democratic legislature. Why not
have changer If the Republicans
had a chance to try their hand at rule
ing the state we know that they could
not, at least, do any worse than the
Democrats have and there is chance
of then doing better.

The Democratic governor of Hi
nois was elected to pardon the three
anarchists Samuel Fielden, Oscar
Neebe and Micheal Schwab who were
confined in the State penitentary.
This he has done and the three beau
ties are again free to stir up riots or
do anything else their low dispositions
lead them to. Although Gov. Altgeld
writes a seven or eight column letter
explaining why, it is our opinion that
a very few words explain the whole
reason. 1t was done to gain the vote
of that low element for the Democrat
ic party.

silver in the world, not even except
ing the United States under the Sher-
man law. A person unacquainted
with Democratic ideas of what consti-
tutes craftsmanship might suppose
that these conferences, some of which
lasted until long after midnight, We're
devoted to a study OF ways and
means to save the United States
from an i'll effect of India's new poll
cy, which many fear may result in
large demands upon the Treasury
gold reserve fund, as hundreds of
kilograms have been received from
bankers and business men imploring
the Administration to take some i'm
mediate relief. Not SO, however.
These momentious conferences be-
tween the President and the chief finan-
cial official of the Government were
entirely given up to determining who
should be appointed collectors Of inter
nal revenue in a number of districts
where the removal of Republican
collectors had been determined upon.
Every school boy is familiar with the
picture Of Nero fiddling while Rome
burned. Future generations of school
boys may see picture of President
and his Secretary of the Treasury
haggling over the appointment of a
few collectors of internal revenue
while nation clamored for financial
relief and a restoration of public con-
fdence, and clamored in vain.
Ever since the establishment of the
present form Of government for the
District of Columbia it has been re-
garded, as it was intended to be, as
being strictly non-partisan in its
makeup, and for many years the
the loudest shouters in favor Of keep
ing politics out were the Democrats.
But radical change has taken place
in their views and the local Demo
Gratis, assisted by several Maryland
and Virginia Congressman, are nag
ging at Mr.. Cleveland in order to get
him to direct the dismissal of the Re-
publicans and the appointment OF
Democrats in their places and in
order to get him interested they have
produced files Of paper edited by
one of the clerks in which the usual
campaign attacks upon the opposing
candidate were made upon Mr..
Cleveland in 'S4, '8S and '02, none Of
them half so cutting as attacks made
on him by Democratic editors whom
he has since rewarded with Offices.
The unjustness of these Democrats is
made all the more apparent by a table
prepared some time ago, 1t is SAID al
Mr.. Cleveland's request, which shows
that of the asa Offices under the Dis
trict government above the grade o.
laborer rs4 are already held by Dem
ocrsts. The trouble with the Demo
Gratis is that they always want to &c
the best of a bargain. When there il
Republican administration the!

, order, but now they want everything
Fair-play they do not know.

THE Democratic party goes along
demonstrating more fully ever day
its total incapicity to govern this great
country. Last week there was sale
of United States Bonds at 4 per cent
below par. The New York Press
says:-"This is the first public sale
of U. S. bonds below par since the
Republican party established specie
payments" This is fine record for
the few months of misrule under
Cleveland and Secretary of the Treas
ury Carlisle.

THE Democrats are to Republican
institutions in the United States what
Bob Ingersoll is to the Bible. They
are good at tearing down the theories
that have advanced this nation as no
other nation ever advanced in the
history of the world, but when it
comes to giving us something as good
or better they are wanting.

Because there would have been no
uncertainty as to what Republican
majority would have done with silver.
Everything is uncertain and in furry.
Even President Cleveland himself was
afraid to call Congress in extra session
because he did not know what they
would do. Everybody is in doubt and
money is being called in by those
who have it. To show how much the
present Democratic majority is dis
trusted by his own party we give be-
low few extracts from some leading
Democratic papers of the country.

The President, far from being disturbed
by the dicision of India to suspend the free

REMARKABLE CONFESSION OF THE "EvE-

eating committee, but Buchanan re-

WASHINGTON CRY, June 80, 1898.
(From Our Regular Correspondent
Secretary Carlisle has had no less
than three extended conferences with
Mr.. Cleveland, in the privacy of the
latter's suburban residence, since the
news was received of the practical
demonetization of silver by the gov
ernment of India, which has for some
years been the largest purchaser Of

YESTERDAY THE 4Th OF JULY.
The Fourth Of July is never an old
story. The best sign for the future of
the country is the ever resuming evil
dence that patriotism burns as brightly
in the hearts of the American people
to-day as when the old liberty bell
proclaimed freedom throughout the
land" The Fourth is and always
has been something more than
holiday. The celebrations, the flags,
the fireworks and even the hrecrack-
ers are eloquent of the real meaning
of the Day of independence. We have
seen the foreigner who arrivded a few
days ago hang out an American flag
from his window. He cannot speak
the American language perhaps, but
the flag speaks for him. II tells that
he is grateful for American protection,
that he appreciates American Free
dom, that he wishes to show that he,
too, rejoices in the greatness of the
great republic. The boy with the
firecrackers may seem an annoyance,
but do not drive him away. Those
firecrackers echo the patriotism that is
swelling in his youthful breast; they
tell that he also is proud of his coun-
try and will do the best he can some
day in its behalf on larger field.
For Americans the Fourth of July
is, indeed, a day rich in memories
and prosperous. 1t is the cool and
calmn truth and not merely boast
that the United States of America is
the greatest nation on the face of the
globe. 1t has larger population of
the intelligent and civilized races than
any other country in the world. In the
event of war-ofwhich happily there is
no sign-the United States could raise
a larger force Of efficient and intelligent
soldiers than any other country. We
have no vast military camps or con-
scripted army, but no nation on the
globe could compete with the army
that could be raised in the event of
necessity. In potential sense there
fore, the United States is the greatest
military power in existence. AS for
the navy, the United States has shown
what can be done, and the history OF
the country is proof that we need fear
no power on the ocean. In material
wealth and resources the United
States has no superior, and ever
Great Britain recognizes that the scep
ter of commerse and industry is fol.
lowing the "star of Empire to the
west"
Amid ri this evidence of the great
ness and prosperity of the nation it i:
well to be reminded by the Fourth O.
July of the struggles and the suferings
. the heroism and the sacrifice tina
made this greatness possible. AS the
Israelites, when in the full enjoymen
of the promised land, went out at reg
ular intervals in tents in order to keeI
in mind the desert journey of thei
forefathers, SO Independence day
should keep forever green in Ameri
can memory the brave men of tht
field and of craftsmanship who wruns
from obstinate and powerful Britiar

And may the story 60 down unum

Peter Long of Greensburg. Pa, is the
patentee of ono Of the most useful rail-
way appliances Of the age-a railway
signal time clock which accurately indi-
Gates the time intervening between the
passage of trains. 1t Is mounted SINH
larly to danger signal, and the engi-
neer can readily tell by simply glancing
at the dials the length Of time which has
elapsed since the preceding train passed
that point. The clock runs regularly
and indicates the hours and minutes just
as an ordinary timepiece does, but an
ingenious device and the time marking
apparatus throws the minute hand back
to IL at the time of the passing of each
train. Then the hand moves forward
in the regular way until the next train
thunders past, when it is again thrown
back to 10.
Should any one train not be followed
by another for ali hour or a longer
period, then tho minute hand will stop
at 55 minutes and remain there until a
passing train again throws it back to 10,
where it will again begin its 55 minute
journey. Tho purpose Of having the
hand stop at 55 minutes is to show that
at least that time has elapsed since q
train has passed that way, which is am
ply sufficient to indicate "clear track. y

Senator Hill Presents Bill to Repeal
the sherman Act.

WASHINGTON, Aug. e.-The proceedings
In the senate yesterday were of great public
interest The presidents message was read
and listened to with marked attention on
both sides of the chamber, not a senator
moving from his po sition during the read
Ing. The message was referred to the COM
mittee on finance and its immediate print
ing ordered. Then the food gates of leg
islation were thrown wide open, and cur
rent Of bills on financial and other sub
Jects was admitted. Mr.. Hill IN, W was
the first senator to get in a bill for the re-
peal of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act. Mr.. Stewart, of Nevada. fol-
lowed with two other bills, and speech,
on the same subject. In the speech he de
clared himself against the repeal Of the
Sherman act, as such repeal would, he
said, destroy silver coinage forever. A
resolution was offered by Mr.. Lodge, of
Mass, directing the committee on finance
to report bill for the repeal of the pur-
chase clause of the Sherman act and pro-
viding for vote on the passage of such
bill by the 22d Of August, if not sooner
reached. This resolution was supple
mented by another offered by Mr.. Hale, of
Maine, fixing the hour of meeting of the
senate from and after tomorrow, at II a. M
These resolutions precipitated discussion
In which several of the leading senators
on both sides of the chamber participated.
They went over without action.
The presidents message was awaited by
the members of the house with great
anxiety. listened to with intense interest
and afterwards privately discussed from
various standpoints. When the reading
OF the message was concluded the election
case from the Fifth district of Michigan
was taken up, and after two hours de-
bate Richardson, the Democrat, was
seated on his prima facie title. After this
case had been disposed of a resolution was
adopted authorizing the speaker to ap-
point the committees on rules, accounts,
enrolled bills, and mileage, with tho mem
bership to which they were entitled in the
Fifty-second congress and referring the
rules Of that congress to the committee on
rules. Mr. Reilly announced the death of
his colleague, William Mutohler, and as a
mark OF respect to the memory of the de.
ceased the house adjourned until tomor-
row.
