The Indian TERRITORY

Governor Fishbaek, of Arkansa.' has
written an open letter to President
Cleveland, calling his attention % the
position Of the Indian Territory as an
asylum for criminals and constant
menace to adjacent States The COVER
suggests that time has come when the
United States should east sentiment
aside, and BY exercising it. right Of en-
inent domain establish responsible
government inste d of "the arces Of
governments which nov exist in the
territory"
1t is probably true that the Territory
is the neutral ground wherein des-
peradoes congregate and plan train and
bank robberies, and divers other great
crimes That their influence must be

government, in the midst Of growing
commouwealths, is an absuriity. none
can deny Yet it is safe to say that the
Eastern philanthropists will raise loud
protest against Governor Fisb5acks
ideas. In the matter Of abstract justice,
they are certainly right; but there is nc

FURCHES AND FUSION.

Ex-Judge D. NJ. Furches was the
Republican candidate for Governor
at the last election. Now he is a
fusion candidate for the Supreme
Court bench. No longer than last
April he wrote a letter upon the sub
ject of fusion, which, in view of his
present relations to the political
situation, makes interesting reading
From that letter we make the follow
ing extracts:
"Republicanism, as l understand
it, is founded upon well established
and well defined theories and princi
pies, which l believe should control
the political policy of this country.
Among these, in national politics.
are to be found tariff for revenue and
protection to American industry, a
sound and stable currency, based on
both old and silver, and of sufficient
volume to transact the business of
the government without depression
of prices, but opposed to thefree and
unlimited coinage of silver into dol
lars of an inferior value. In
national politics, as | understand it,
the Populist party are opposed to
a protective tariff, in favor of free
coinage of silver at it's present depre
ciated ratio, for government owner
ship of railroads, for sub-treasuries
and bonded warehouses and other
things the Republican party has
never declared for. And, there being
these radical differences between the
Republican and Populist parties, it
is not surprising that they do not
readily unitein support of candidates
of the opposite party; and, in my
opinion, any man who relies on a
full vote of the Populists in support
of a Republican, or full vote
of the Republican party in support
of a Populist candidate: will be very
much disappointed in the result.
The Republican party can
not be transferred by assumed lead
ers from one party to another, like
cattle from one field to another"

THE VICTIMS.
Farmers the Greatest Sufferers from
Protective Tariff.

Farmers the Greatest Sufferers from
a Protective Tariff.
From the Baltimore Sun
The South and the West are the
victims, not the benefciaries, of pro-
lection. The tariffs of the past
thirty years have made the farmers
and planters pay prices ranging from
so to 100 per cent. higher for their
clothing, their tools, their machinery
and their manufactured goods of all
kinds, and have not added one dol
lar to the l,rices paid to them for
their cotton, tobacco, wheat, bread
stuffs, pork and the other products
of their unprotected capital and
labor. History furnishes no worse
example of the robbery of the found
alton producing classes of a country
for the enrichment of comparative.
ly small fraction of favored capita
lists. Since the days when Pharoah,
in the hardness of his heart, set task
masters over the children of Israel
and demanded that they should
make bricks without straw, there has
been no more merciless tyranny than
the protective system established by
the manufacturing plutocracy for
wringing the very last dollar that
special legislation could extort from
the farming and planting industry
of the South and West.
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1894-10-11
ENCOURAGING.

There is encouragement in the
fact that in some sections of the
South this year the farmers have re-
versed the usual order of things by
raising all the corn needed for home
consumption and having a surplus
to sell. instead of drawing supplies
from the corn cribs of the West. A
brighter era for the South will have
dawned when her farmers generally
learn to raise their own hog and
hominy-when they make this the
first consideration in their plans.
Recently a shipment of fifty thou
sand bushels of corn was made from
Decatur, Alabama, to Chicago.
Commenting upon this, the Spring
field, Mass, Republican says:
"This is an unprecedented reversal
of the usual process. From almost
it's first settlement the South has
been a purchaser rather than a pro-
ducer of corn, and since cotton be
came the principal crop millions OF
bushels of grain and pounds of meat
have been sent across Mason and
Dixon's line every year. This year
the crops of cereals, especially corn,
raised in the South are the largest in
the history of that section. The
Southern farmers in several States
have for the first time in two genera
tions raised more food supplies than
they can use for a year, and are
therefore not disturbed by the gen
orally short crops. This result is
largely due to the low price of cotton
for the last few years, and to the
necessity which this fact has put
upon the Southern farmer to diver
sify lis crops. He has been urged
for years to make himself independ-
ent of the cotton market, and now
seems to have taken this counsel to
heart, and to have determined to
feed himself from his own acres. 1t
is needless to elaborate the import
ance of this fact to western pro-
vision raisers."

HOPE OF woRK1NaMEN.

Mott tried to excite the prejudices
of the mechanics by playing upon
the string of "hard times" but he
failed to tell them that Republican
legislation for the past thirty years,
in the direction of making the rich
richer and the poor poorer, was
largely responsible for the hard
times.
Under the Republican protective
policy the wealth of the country has
been centralized and while the me-
chanic had to pay tax on the tools
with which he earned his bread, the
bloated capitalist paid not cent
upon his millions of bonds. So
would have continued this partial,
outrageous system, had not the peo-
pie at the last election arisen in their
might and wrested the reins of gov
eminent from the Republican party
and placed them in the hands of the
Democratic party.
The Democrats have been in power
less than two years and, of course,
within SO short a period, they could
not undo all the Republican deyiltry
of thirty years. But they have
worked wonders in the interest of the
people. Among other: things, they
repealed the odious protective
Mckinley tariff that was grinding
the poor man of the South in the in
terest of the rich manufacturer of the
North. They did not succeed in get
ting just the bill they desired in place
of the Mckinley bill, but they made
a great improvement and more
along this line will follow. They
struck a direct blow at the gigantic
trusts and monopolies that have
waxed fat at the expense of the peo-
pie and have been hard taskmasters
for the mechanics in their employ.
These trusts recognize the fact that
bhe Democratic party is their enemy
and in the present campaign are
striving TO secure the defeat of this
party. so that they may again ride
'ough shod over the people and ex-
ort millions Of money from their
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1894-10-11

pockets by the Republican system of
legalized robbery.
The Democratic party has taken a
long stride towards the equalization
of taxation by the passage of the
income tax, the most just tax ever
placed upon the statute books. They
have said to the autocratic bond
holders that all the burden of taxa
ton shall not be borne by the poor;
that they must pay their proportion
of the revenue necessary to defray
the expenses of the government.
From these two acts of the Demo-
cratic party-the reduced tariff and
the income tax-any thoughtful man
should be able to see that the hope
of the workingmen of this country is
in the Democratic party. Let our
mechanics and our farmers weigh
these matters carefully, do some
thinking for themselves and not per-

campaign speakers to lead them
