Shermans hand struck silver to death.
The righteous Indignation Of the peo-
pie has and il making it 20 odious for
the conspirators cf 1873 (Sbermsn
end his associates) that even the chief
one, the arch traitor himself, John
Sherman, has finally denied any
knowledge Of this great crime Of
robbing the laborers of this Amer
ican nation by the demonstration Of
silver. We will now take . trip to
Europe and subpens Mr.. Ernest
Seyd, one Of the chief bank detectives
Of the house of Rothschild and the
Bank Of England.
Ernest Seyd's evidence at . dinner
given in London by him, in his
home, in 1874, in reference TO his
Ernest Seyd's) business to America
in 1873 in the interest Of bondholdess
of al Europe who held American
bonds, be stated to one Of his guests,
Mr.. F. A. Lucenbsch, now . citizen
of Denver, Colorado, that he was
sent to America by the European
bondh.'lders for the purpose Of de-
monetizing silver in America, and
that he was supplied with 5000, 600
Of American dollars to accomplish
demonstration; but be was agreea-
bly, surprised At the cheap men in
America; It required only $500, 600.
Ernest Seyd stated he was not pre-
pared to say to whom this money was
paid.
But at this particular time it was
stated and generally believed tha,
Senator John Sherman deposited in
one of the banks at Washington City,
a check of 5000, 900, then presumed
to be the amount of Sherman's mile
age for the Senatorial term of 1873,
from the State Of Ohio to Washing
ton City and return. Shortly after
the time Senator Sherman Deposited
this small check he became connected
with various banks, and Is now one
of the richest men OF the United
States. His influence as the repre-.
sentative of the gold trust has been
felt in every branch of the public
service since the demon etization oi
silver bill became law.
The untold millions of money
which John Sherman has been the
cause Of wringing from the working
people of the United States Of Amer.
lea for the past twenty years is cry.
ing to heaven for vengeance and jus.
,ice. John Sherman, by his unjus,
acts, has robbed the millions of work.
ing people of his native land and
placed it to the bank account of the
plutocracy of the old world. This
stamps him as the greatest traitor
who ever BETRAYED free and con6d.
ing people. The righteous indigna.
ton of the working people of thi.
country should be made so manifest
as to drive the chief of the conspira.
tors from his place of power, and con.
sign him to that oblivion to which
for his infamy. he SO justly deserves
SILVER MAN.

Daisy, the daughter of George and
Mary Ball, died the 9th inst, with
fever, and was inferred the 10th at Mt.
Wesley cemetery. We extend our SYM
pathies to the bereaved family; their
loss is her eternal gain. Rev. Broyles,
of Washington College, preached an
interesting sermon at Lamar last Sun
day. j. l.. knight, of Newport, spent
a few days with friends at this place.
r. R. Berry, who has been firing a

Lloyd, a charming young lady, spent
Sunday in our midst. Bunny Kyker
and family, accompanied by Mrs. En-
ma Haynes, made a flying trip to Carter
County last Saturday. The Washing
ton College boys crossed bats with the
Embreeville club last Saturday for the
third time; the score stood IA to % in
favor of the former. E. s. Brown and
sister, Miss Matte, of Washington Col
lege, came up home Saturday, return
ing Sunday. At last the foundation of
the Kyker school house has been laid
and Dave Berry, who is the leader,
thinks he will complete it at an early
period. Messrs. David Holly and Geo.
Mottern, of Elizabethton, spent Friday
night in our little burg. Misses Annie
and Rhoda Hunter, Addie Booth, Hor-

is still on the stump, hallooing for
Brownlow, and is contemplating carry
ing the campaign over in North Caro-

no more. j. d. Beidleman was o yer ON

FISH CULTURE.

The Legislature passed a law last win
ter creating the Office of Fish Commits
sioner for each county, 10 be elected an
nually by the County Court.
Mr.. Brownlow at once went to work
to secure a supply of young fish from
the Government to be turned over to
these commissioners to put in the rivers
and creeks of their counties. After Sc
curing ten thousand for the fall and
ten million for the spring delivery, he
learned that only two of the twelve
counties in this district had elected Fish
Commissioners, and therefore met the
fish car in person up the road, and with
the aid of public spirited gentlemen
along the line, was enabled to divide
up and distribute this delivery so as to
have some put in the Holston river in
Sullivan, Hawkins, Granger and Ham
blen Counties; in the Watauga and Doe
rivers in Carter; in Indian Creek and
Chucky river in Unicoi; in Nola Chucky
and Big Limestone in Washington; in
Lick Creek and Cbucky river in Greene,
and in French Broad and Pigeon rivers
in Cooke County.
Mr.. Brownlow desires to turn over
the ten million in the spring to the Fish
Commissioners of each county to be
placed in the streams of their county
wherever they think best
Counties wishing to take advantage
of this splendid free gift, ought by all
means to elect a Fish Commissioner at
the January Court. No food is more
healthy and nourishing than good fresh
fish, but our streams have, by the use
of dynamite and other modes of de-
struction, ceased to furnish a supply of
this palatable diet.
Mr.. Brownlow believes that by stock
ing III streams with the California sal.
mon, mountain trout, black perch and
bass, the people will be able in a few
years to enjoy the luxury Of fresh fish
once more in this country. While
other gentlemen 60 around and tell the
people what they would do, if they
could, Mr.. Brownlow is always on the
lookout doing something for the people,
that conyinces them he csn-hence
they all want to see him in Congress
next time.

From Another Correspondent

While the winds are bowling without
and whispering of the untold miseries
caused by the Democratic party and
the anxiety felt over the ''Rohber tar
if" we can only sit and regret of what
it might have BEEN" But in the midst
of this education, in her sweeping and
overwhelming course still rolls on.
The teachers of the Eighth District,
met at Hunters school house on last
Friday, where varions methods were
discussed. After discussions all the
teachers were called upon for a talk,
all spoke; after this Esq. D. w. F. Peo-
pies, one of our oldest and highly re-
spected citizens, was called upon for a
talk. He spoke of our opportunities as
compared with early days, and of the
ladies taking the lead in most C
pations. The writer fully agreed with
him. l think the dawn of an era is
coming when we will have our long for
felted rights; when we get to be leaders
we will rule with an iron hand. W. F.
Huffine, of Sinking Creek, was visiting
home folks last Sunday. Prof. w. F.,
is teaching music ON Sinking Creek, at
present, both vocal and instrumental.
He is a good teacher in that line and
we would advise all who wish to cult
vate this taste to give him a trial. Death
has again visited our community and
claimed for its victim one of our Oldest
and respected ladies-Mrs. Scott died
on last Wednesday at John Thornburg.
The remains were inferred at Speedwell
on the following day. A little child

writing. PUELLA.

which is tending to retaid investments
and o revival in the industrial world,
and that is the tariff agitation which is
now attracting attention. With that
question out of the way, the general re-
vival in business would be sure and
speedy. | do not believe the Wilson
bill, However, will pass without consid
cradle modification, not in its present
shape, at any rate.
IF it should, and ores and marble
come in free, as now contemplated by
the new tariff bill, Southern industries,
especially those of Tennessee and Ala
bama, will receive a death blow. South
ern ores which now 60 to the seaports,
and ever to the interior of Pennsylvania,
will be shut out because the prices then
obtainable for them would not pay the
freight on them to the Eastern markets.
The same is practically true of marble,
for both the foreign ores and marble
would be brought over as ships bal
last. AS | said, however, l don't be-
lieve the bill will pass. Although l am
a Democrat, the Democratic party is
generally wrong on economic ques-
tions.n

MUCH has been said and written in
recent years about reducing the tariff
on the "necessaries of life." In press
and speech the theory has ben ad-
vanced, that a protective tariff en-
hances the price of the "necessaries of
life"and therefore was a burden that
should be removed in order that the
masses might be enabled to purchase
the "necessaries of life" much cheaper
than under the existing tariff laws.
Teachers of this doctrine have failed to
give q list of what they consider the.
"necessaries of life." 1t is well known
that bread and meat, including all
the products of the soil, were never so
cheap in the history of the country.
These are supposed to be the "necessa-
ries of life," and if the Wilson tariff
bill is to have the effect to lower the
existing prices for farm products, the
farmers of this country will be brought
to bankruptcy and ruin. Our observa-
ton has been, that when farmers
could sell their wheat at one dollar,
and other things in proportion, every
thing else prospered. When farmers
a not get cost for their products bust
ness of all other kinds has to suffer.
If this be true, an increase rather than
a decrease in the price of the 'necessa-
ries of life" ought to be received with
Joy, not only by the farmer, but all
Others whose prosperity in large meas
ure depends upon their success.

pose are all improving, j. L. Bailey
has been very low for sometime with

Painter moved from the Second District
last week to the First. An infant of
MIR. and Mrs. Duncan was buried at
Liberty last week. The Free Baptists
held a Ministers Conference at Liberty,

ing during the Conference. The preach
ing on Sunday was by Rev. Wool

in the Association. He is very near
80 years of age. A protracted meeting
closed out at Philadelphia Cumberland

for the tobacco men, but for the Demo
Gratis we have no word of pity or solace.
We are praying for the defeat, disrup.
ton, downfall and total extinction OF
the Democratic party, world without
end in 1896, amen. And to this end We
want w. P. Brownlow nominated and
elected to serve in the next Congress
We are tired of these wishey washey

EIGHTH DISTRICT.

A poke supper was given at Green
Meadow last Saturday night under the
auspices of the Young Mems Christian
Association(Y All, what luxury the
boys and girls had promenading in the
cleaning, and after the somber shad-
ows of night drove them to where they
could enjoy the bright and cracking
fagots, how animated they did look.
John Holmes and Arthur Oliver said
that the pleasant rustic of so many
satin dresses was clear ''out of sight. "
The sale of pokes was the next order of
the evening, and the multiplicity of
pretty girls to select from, rendered
that the chief feature of the occasion.
The girl selected the pair %retires to a
comfortable seat and there in a digni-
fed posture they partake of the sump-
tious meal. The number of pokes each
fellow is solicited to buy varies to con-
form to the number of "strings he has
to his bow" There is a heap of amuse-
ment in such entertainments to the
boys and girls, and amounts to moth
ing more than a little harmless pass
time, and we want more of them and
not SO far between. Base ball for the
past two weeks is the main topic for the
average small boy. The Bells School
House Team has sent a formal chal-
lenge to the Greenwood Nine to play
them next Saturday. We are authoriz-
ed to say to the latter that unless you
play our boys this time that your form
er braggadocio is simply a dead letter.
Come on boys for we will guarantee to
you all the courtesies due, but the game
this time must come under the purview
of INDEPENDENTLY on McDuff and
id be he who cries hold, enough. Rev
w. M. Vines, of johnson City was visit
ing his parents last Monday. Mr.. Vines
is n of our best young men, and we
bespeak for him much success and good
in his wide field of labor. To comply
with repeated promises, we have made
a good deal of inquiry as to the status
of some of u schools. The method
ical system under which they are
being conducted this year affords the
writer much pleasure in bearing test.
mony of the worth and qualification of
u teachers. Miss Daisy Boring who
has charge of the school at Hunters is
giving the best of satisfaction and has
her school reduced to the strictest dis
cipline. She acts wise in running her
school on system and not poetry. The
enrolment is about 80 already. ]. l.
Vines is meeting with good success at
Greenwood. John is our neighbor boy
and has the ambition, pluck and energy
to please all his pupils and patrons. He
has secured a fair education, having
spent N session in the johnson City
high schools. His enrolment is more
than so. W. F. Huffine is teaching a
very satisfactory school at Bells. Will
has lots of that tack, push and per
