strong mind become impressed with
the only legic of our present financial
situation. There was time, we be-
lieve, when Mr.. Carlisle was content
with the now obsolete doctrine that il
would be sufficient for our monetary
integrity that each silver dollar should
contain dollars worth of silver. He
now appreciates that it will only be
sufficient when the government has it
in its power at all times to replace each
silver dollar in circulation on demand
with the only international money,
gold, at the established ratio; when
this ceases to be true, our foreign
trade will suffer and domestic pros
perity proportunately decline. He
describes the situation exactly when
he says, "no matter what our none
tary system may be here at home, as
established by our own laws, we must
either relinquish large part of our
T share in the commerce of the world OF
conduct our international trade upon
such basis as the general judgement of
commercial nations may establish"
and then adds: "Gold is the only in
ternational meney, and all trade bal
ances are settled in gold or which is
the same thing, on gold basis" The
truth of the matter is, that without an
international agreement fixing uni
formly, the ratio between gold and
silver all over the world, there is no
option left between the constant pres
ervation of the governments power to
exchange gold for silver or other
money on demand, and an inevitable
collapse in our foreign trade. and
consequently in all business interests.
And moreover, Mr.. Carlisle is wisely
of opinion that our present stock of
gold is carrying all the silver it safely
can. People who clamor for an in
crease in circulation should UNDER
stand that it cannot, without the
greatest danger, be brought about by
an increase of silver coinage alonei
when there is no corresponding aug
mentation of our stock of gold; and
that above all, ut no time, can there be
choice between limited circulation
that is sound and redundant circula-
ton that is doubtful.

Fulfill the Promise.

The Immediate duty OF the Demo
cratic Congress is the reform of the
I tariff and the reduction Of tariff taxes.
1t was for the performance of this task
that the party came into power. This
was the trust imposed upon it by the
people. Its great majority in the
House and its control of the Senate
and of the Executive are the results of
the country's revolt against the Nc
Kinley act.
In 1890 the country's majority
against McKinleyism was 1882, POP,
In 1892 Mr.. Cleveland's plurality was
+ 3S2,956, and the total anti-Republican
majority was 100000. In the Fifty
second Congress the anti-RepubIican
majority in the House was l54, in the
present House it IS l02, while in the
Senate the Republicans have nine ma
FORTY against them, with three seats
vacant.
The country has not changed its
verdict on the tariff question, Ohio
is pointed to, but Ohio is welded to
McKinleyism. and has Endorsed the
Mckinley law at every election since
Its passage.
Whatever the Ways and Means
Committee intended to do for reform
before the late elections is right now if
it was right before. There should be
no haiiing or timidity because New
York has rejected Maynard, or because
New Jersey has spoken against the
rsce-track statesmen.
The WAYS and Means Committee
has difficult task, and odoubt there
ire those who are ready TO take adj
sxntage of the recent elections to make
still more difficult. But the tariff !

Don't ASSIGN.

The times are hard. Many of our
people are very much embarrassed
many are being hard-pushed for
money they owe. These things are
80 evident that they need no argument
to prove them. But whilst we admit
all this, past experience has demon
strated we have one of the thrftlest
and most progressive set OF business
men to be found anywhere. We have
a county that, for resources, is un-
equaled, almost, in the broad land.
There are few men in this community,
very few, if any, who cannot pay every
honest debt they owe. Some few who
have lost neart and have become dis
couraged have been making assign
ments, fearing they will not be able to
nav out. This is all wrong. 1t is an
Injustice both to the man who assigns
and to the men to whom he is in
debted. More than all this, it is all
Injustice to the community at large.
The assignor will give up what pur-
ports to be all of his property, and
very large part of it goes in costs, etc.,
his creditors getting little from the
proceeds. Many of them prefer TO
take Judgment against him and
keep this hanging over the debtor for
years, thus forcing him to do business
under another's name, and often rob-
bling him of that energy and enter
prise that he would otherwise exhibit.
Altogether, no one is benefited and
all are hurt. We want to say to our
people that they can all pay out, II
they will only 60 about the matter
with the hearty good will that they
have exhibited in days gone by. We
know this people. We know their abili-
ties and resources; and we commend
to each one who may be temporarily
cramped, to exercise reasonable de-
gree of economy aud display some OF
the old time energy and all will be
well. The creditor must exer-
else some forbearance, and will do
so. if his doctor will exhibit All honest
AID plain intention to pay what he
owes. Yes, our people are in debt,
but they can in remarkably short
time pay out, if they will only think
SO. The era of financial distress and
distrust through which we have been
passing has had a very depressing
effect on men in every class. But the
clouds are lifting and there is reason
for every one of us forgetting those
things that are behind to press for
ward toward better things in the fu-
ture.
- What though life's efforts are ashes and dust;
What though life's gains be fled,
Still shine the grand heavens DER head,
Whence the voice of an angel sounds clear on the |
soul,
Grid about thee thine armour, press on to the
goal"

81 don't know what am to do.
am almost discouraged, my debts are
pressing me So" 1t was young man
who said this, not over thirty years OF
age, with good health, fair business
education, of good habits. and who
enjoys the confidence and respect OF
the community; but he had been
foolish enough to engage in boom
speculations in Middlesboro and else
where, and had sunk ali that he owned
aud more than he had. Because he
was fool once and risked and lost his
living, is no reason why he should be
a fool always and make no effort 10 re-
deem his lost fortune. Go to work.
You owe it to the community, as well
as yourself. that you should do this in
hearty good earnest. Your example
will inspire others. Bah! talk about
q man going down to poverty aud
rags in community like this! 1t is
only drunkenness and drowsiness u at
can do 1t.

must be revised, ii Democratic expec-
iations and promises are TO be fulfilled,
for the benefit of the whole country.
The inlerests of individuals and local
tiles must not be permitted to stand
in the way.
The Democrat who undertakes to
advocate Republican oroteclionism
simply because of the fancied interests
of his district is opposing the mission
which has been intrusted by the peo-
Pile to him and his party. The Ma
tional Democratic platform of 1872
pronounced agains. the ''culmincting
atrocity of class legislation" It in-
dorsed the efforts made ito modify its
1.-THE Mckinley tariff laws most OPP
pressive features in the direction OF
free raw materials and cheaper manu-
featured goods that enter into general
consumption"
Mr.. Cleveland's aforementioned
and uch-appauded tariff message OF
1887 began with these words:
.'Our present tariff laws, the vicious,
inequitable and illogical source of un-
necessary taxation, ought to be at
once revised and amended"
Among other wise and strong sem
fences were the following:
.'The difficulty attending wise and
fair revision of our tariff laws is not
underestimate. 1t will require on
The part of the Congress great labor
md care, and especially broad and
national contemplation of the subject
and patriotic disregard Of such local
Ind selfish claims as are unreasonable
and reckless of the welfare OF the
country" /
There is much food for reflection in
these words, and the few Democrats
who are clamoring in behalf of a few |
Of their constituents for taxes on wool
and coal and ore and lumber might
probably ponder on them.
The Democratic party is pledged TO
the policy of free raw material and OF
lower taxes on the necessaries of life.
"The simple and plain duty which
we owe the people," said Mr.. Cleve-
land, 'is to reduce taxation TO the
necessary expenses of an economical
operation of the Government" and
the platform on which he was elected
for a second term. and on the tariff |
issue, announced: eve promise its
the Mckinley laws repeat as one OF
the beneticent results that will follow
the action of the people in intrusting
power to the Democratic party"
The declarations were believed and
the promises were accepted. The peo-
pie intrusted power to the Democratic
party in every branch of the Govern
trent. The time has come for the full
tilment of the promises. Not to fulfil
them would be a breach of trust.
Democratic pledges of tax reduction
must and will be kept-New York

he contrary is true. II is an accepted
fsct that commercial progress and
competition are inseparable. The ne
cessities of the people alone will usu-
dly suffice to support the monopolist
in atfluence; it will seldom, ii ever,
Ie found needful to excite unusual
prosperity by a proportionate reduc-
ion in charges. But were it true,
which cannot be, that the business in
terests of our people will not suffer by
he expansion of the Louisville &
Nashville monopoly, the moralreaSons
for opposing the growth of power
that has invariably acted, and must in
its nature continue to act, utterly re-
gardless of all save selfish consider
atoms. were none the less potent. We
have no assurance from its past that
every addition to its strength will not
likewise add to its capacity as dis
turbing force in politics and public
morals, and increase its chilling influ-
ence upon the free and wholesome de-
veIopment of individual enterprise.
1t was with correct apprehension
of this very character of danger that
the Constitutional Convention adopted
that section of the Constitution which
provides that mo railroad shall &C
quire by purchase, lease or otherwise,
any parallel or competing line, or ope-
rate the same" This language is GER
tainly broad enough to meet the pres
ent case, which is practically the out
right purchase of the capital stock and
control of competing company. No
question can arise that this 81 ction of
the Constitution is an interference
with the federal right to regulate
commerce between the States; since
it adds no burdens to interstate COM
MERGE, but is obviously drafted TO Sc
cure its freedom. Neither do we be-
lieve that the Louisville & Nashville
is authorized by any charter provi-
sion granted prior to the act of 1856,
and hence not subject to amendment,
10 do that which it would otherwise
be prohibited under the Constitution
from doing. 1t is true that there is an
expression in the charter amendment
Of January II, 1856, which may be re-
lied upon as comforting the right to
purchase any road constructed by an
other company;" but this language,
as cross-reference shows, doubtless
applies to the purchase of branch
roads merely. But even were that
not so, the expression could hardly be
held, in the face of deep public pol
icy, to authorize the virtual absorption
of an independent system, with all its
franchises, as well as physical prop
erty.
The people have vital interest in
this matter--deeper than they think i
and II will become the Governor aud
the Attorney General, for once. 10 lay
aside their personal chickering's, in
which the people have no interest, and
to unite their efforts, that no step may
rest untaken that might secure TO the
whole State, and especially South
western Kentucky, immunity from
the deadly construction of the anacon-
da's latest fold.

DEAR HERALD Il want to give You a
few items from the so-calcd wild and
woolly West. Our farmers are now
finishing planting for this season. Wheat
is up nicely and they are painting their
crops of "spuds" or, as known with you,
potatoes. Early "spuds" are mp. Oar
farmers had long faces week AGO. It
was very dry and stormy. (Wind storms. }
Nothing made start TO grow. But on
the 4th it began to SLOW and rain and
kept it up TO the Gth, and now You ought
to see how pleasant they look. 1t is 10
trouble for them to smile now, bnt before
It appeared TO give them pain in the
stomach if they only smiled little bit.
alfalfa is puttins out nicely. Why can't
the farmers in Virginia raise this splendid
crop l notice several articles in home
papers from parties who claim to have
tried it and say 1t wont 10. They may
be right about their land, but | believe
there is land in your section that Will
suit it. One field that | can mention is
the one in which Mr., NJ. 3. Wunder has
! his house. | would like to see it tried
there, or on the field adjoining him on the
north belonging TO Mr. Newman. l do
honestly believe 1t would do all right
there. IT is a great fertilizer and don't
cost near as much as Ober's. | thought
probably that those parties claiming that

tor some fertilizer. Be it so or not, if
there are any of my friends who wish to
SOW it and cant get it there III get it for
them, and it shall only cost them
what have to pay for it, 1t makes the
ground so rich and mellow that | am
anxious to see my old home people try it.
All three of the mills at this place are
running on fnll time in order to get bran.
They pay 90 cts. per 100 lbs. for wheat
and get s. cts per 100 lbs for bran. They
