Has Friends in Texas.

President Cleveland still has some
friends In Texas. Indeed their
number appears to be quite large and
aggressive. One OF them, State
Senaror Aldredge, in a speech deliv-
cred at a mass meeting in Sherman
the other day, said: "YOu talk
about Mr.. Cleveland being bought
by Wall Street. Why, the man
who breasts the storm of ignorance
and prejudice and stands out against
them all like a granite promontory,
that man cannot be bought, | tell
you he has backbone on him big as
the butt cut of saw log, and ] tell
you there is not money enough on
Wall Street to buy his little finger. ="
Still, there are demagogues going
about the country asserting that the
President is the tool of Wall Street.
They know they are not telling the
truth; at least those of them do who
are not so ignorant as to be the sub
jects of pity.-Savannah Morning
News.

can vote unless he has paid the poll
tax for the year 1893.
Men who were fifty years of age
prior to January 10, 1893, are not
required to pay any poll tax, neither
young men who have attained twen-
ty-one years of age since January 10,
1893, are required to pay pOll-tax.
Men who are deaf or dumb or
blind, or have been relieved by the
County Court from payment on ac-
court of inability to earn a livelI-
hood, are not liable to pay poll
tax.
All other persons, except those
hereinbefore mentioned, are liable
to pay a poll tax, and before they
can vote must furnish to the judg-
es of elections evidence that his poll
tax for 1893 has been paid.
1t is immeterial whether such vo-
ter's name appears on the books of
the Trustee or not; he is neverthe-
less liable for the poll tax.
The evidence which the voter
must furnish to the judges of cleo
tions that he has paid his poll tax
in order to entitle him to
vote, shall consist of his orig
inal poll tax receipt, or duplicate,
duly certified by the Trustee, or his
own affidavit in writing that he has
paid his poll tax and has lost or mis-
placed his receipt.
Such affidavits must be filed with
the judges of elections, and attached,
to and exhibited with returns of the
elections. Any voter swearing
falsely in the affidavit is guilty of
perjury, and any one of the judges
may swear the voter to such afida-
Wit.
1t is the duty of the County Trus-
tee to issue a duplicate receipt to
every person who has lost or mislaid
his poll tax receipt and asks for a
new duplicate.
The utmost care should be observed.
The ticket must be on plain white
paper, three inches wide and seven
inches long, having on it the offices
to be filled and the names of the
candidates voted for.
The voter can write the name or
have it written, and the Office, or he
can vote a printed ticket; but it
must be without picture, sign or col
or, mark, index or insignia.

The prosperity attained by the
people who lived when there was
not a silver dollar in circulation sets
at naught the assertion that more sill
yer is requisite to prosperity. The
law of favoritism, or protection, has
resulted more disasterously to the
people than all other laws. Under
a republican administration that law
has been instrumental in building
up immense trusts; wealth has been
centralized and money diverted
from the channels of trade. In
1873 when the amount of currency
in the United States was only 1892,
72I, 565 the condition of the coun.
try was more prosperous than in
1892 when the amount of the cur
rency in the United States amounted
to 81, sos, O73, S3s. Still the
amount of currency was less than
half in 1878 to what it was in
1892. For every effect there must
be a cause, based on reason and
facts and when we see that this
country enjoyed greater degree OF
prosperity when the volume of the
currency was less than half what it
is to-day the cause must be other
than the need of an increase in the
volume of money. AS stated in the
outset, the law of protection, aprin.
ciple so strenOusly guarded under
republican administrations, Is the
cause of the present state of affairs.
Under the Mckinley law, the raj
sers of cotton, corn and wheat are
compelled TO compete with all ma
tions who produce these commodities
mentioned, but the farmers of this
country are not permitted to
purchase their goods in cheap mar.
kets, where their competitors
purchase theirs, but are forced to
buy them where the average pro-
lection amounts to 90 per cent. or in
other words the farmers of this
country are compelled to pay 60 per
cent. TO the favored class, and re-
ceive no protection whatever. As
the laws of protection have been so
injurious to the farmers, it is sur
prising that they should indorse
that principle in any of it's phases.
But to coin silver at the ratio of l6
TO / would be nothing less than pro-
teeting the owners of silver mines
to'the extent of SO cents on the dol
lar, because the market value of
4l24 grains of silver bullion, the
amount contained in an American
silver dollar is worth As cents, where
as 25.5 grains of gold, the amount
In a gold dollar is worth a
dollar in the markets of the world. |
If it is right to protect the owners
of silver mines, it is equally right |
to protect the protected industries,
which have been nurtured I'm.
der a republican administration at
the expense of the people. The prin-
oiple is the same.

depression, but can't realize how
that the present day with 5000, 900,
600 of silver is so depressed when
others who lived before US were act
ually prosperous, although there was
not dollar of silver in circulation.
1t is true they were 'sgOld bugs"
but why should they prosper more
than us who are working so earnest
ly in the interest of those who have
invested in silver mines? The
"gold bugs" of the present genera
ton will leave the fsilver bugs" to
solve the problem as best they can.
But if the ''gold bugs" agreed with
the ''silver bugs as to the cause of
the financial depression, they would
feel that the human race had retro
graded immensely.

ACCORDING to the table made out
at the Treasury department of the
United States, which eompOses a
part of Senator Harris speech on the
financial question, the production of
silver in the United States from
April the end, 1892 to July 81,
1884 was absolutely nothing, or so
small at least to be designated as in
significant. If the statements of the
worshipers of silver are to be believ-
ed, it would seem an impOssibility
for the people who lived during the
period mentioned to have kept soul
and body together. They would
have the people believe that the
browning evil of the country was
the decentralization of silver, and
yet, strange to say, Senator Harris
accepts the tabulated statement from
the Treasury department as trne,
which shows that the production of
silver from 1892 to 1884 was actually
insignificant, embracing part of the
most prosperous period of the Chris
tian era. The statement further
shows that during that period of
time there were $l4, 600, 600 OF gold,
so from the stand point of those of
free silver persuasion our fOrefathers
committed a great crime of being
"gold bugs" But the BULLETIN
believes that they should be forgiv-
en- as they not only proved that it Is
possible to live without a dollar of
silver in circulation, but to attain !
prosperity even under such circum-
stances. If the theory of the silver
ties is true, we are bound to admit
that the people of the present day
are very insignificant" when com
pared with those who lived during
the period mentioned. The silver
tie should feel very small indeed
when he reasons in this manner;
II know that the need of more silver
is the cause of the present financial

dorsed unreservedly both President
Cleveland's administration, and the
platform on which he was elected
It is a significant fact that when the
President is Endorsed the platform
on which he was elected is also indOr-
sed, and when the Presidents adj
ministration is condemned the dem
ocratic platform of 1892 is not in
dorsed. This is conclusive evil
dence that the Cleveland admins
tration is in conformity with the
platform which won such a decis-
i've victory.

The AUGUST Election.

The election to be held on the End
day of August is one of the most
important that has been, or will be
held for years. We have to elect
five Supreme Court Judges, two for
the state at large, and one from each
of the three grand divisions; Chan
cellor for this district; a Circuit
Judge and Attorney General for
this district; a County Court Clerk;
a Circuit Court Clerk; a Trustee; a
Register; Sheriff Magistrates; Con
stables; School Commissioners.
The BULLETIN desires TO impress
upon. the democrats of Hardeman
County the Importance of a full
turn cut. The republicans and pop
ulites have a fusion ticket for Su-
preme Judges over the state. They
are making a desperate effort to
defeat the democratic nominees. If
they succeed, they will annul our
poll tax law, our registration law
and our Australian ballot law.
Again, the populite candidates for
County offices have made a through
and active canvass, and will contin-
ne to keep the fight up until the day
of the election. These are the cold
facts that confront us. We cannot
afford to be idle. Any differences
that exist within our own ranks let
us lay aside, and as one man stand
by the nominees.

ticket will be elected beyond any
question; but let us all pull together

the populites that they will regret
having wasted so much time in the
canvass.

The Salt In the Sea.

The amount of common salt III all the
oceans is estimated by Schafhautt at
3,051, 342 cubic geographical miles, or
about five times more than the mass OF
the Alps, and only one-third less than
that OF the Himalayas. The sulphate
of soda equals G33, 644.36 cubic miles,
or is equal to the mass of the Alps. The
chloride of magnesium, AL, S11.s0 Gu
bic miles. The lime salts 100, $3.50. A
cubic miles. He supposes the mean
depth to be about 300 meters, as esti-
mated by Humboldt. Admitting with
Laplace that the mean depth is from
four to five miles, which is more prob
able, the mass of marine salt will be
more than double the mass Of the Hima-
layas. The weight of water in the oceans
equals 2,404, 500, 900, 900, 600 of tons,
and the percentage Of common salt in
the oceans is 81. Therefore, the amount
of common salt in all the oceans taken
together is about 673, 515, 900, 900, 600
of tons. Were all the salts of the oceans
precipitated and spread out equally over
the land they would, it has been COM
puted, cover the ground one mile deep
over an area of 7 1000, 900 square miles.

Two Convincing Reasons.

Lord Peterborough, who lived in the
reign of Queen Anne, was very frolic-
some, and one day seeing from his car
riage dancing master with pearl col
ored stockings lightly stepping over the
broad stones and picking his way in ex-
tremely dirty weather he alighted and
ran after him with drawn sword in or
der to drive him into the mud, but into
which he of course followed himself.
This nobleman was once taken for the
Duke Of Marlborough and was mobbed
in consequence. The duke was then in
disgrace with the people, and Lord Pc
terborough was about to be roughly
handled. Turning to them, he said:
Gentlemen, ! can convince you by
two reasons that am not the Duke of
Marlborough. In the first place, l have
only 8 guineas in my pocket, and in the
second they are heartily at your serv-
ice. '-Sala's journal.
