A Big Enterprise,

Our esteemed friends, the Pop
ullsts, want the government to
purchase all the railroads of the
United States. They are also in
favor of the purchase of all the
telegraph, telephone and express
properties of the country. Not
only so but they would like to see
Uncle Sam 60 into the coal bust.
ness, and 80 they declare for the
purchase Of all the coal proper.
ties. When ones goes to figuring
on the money our Uncle Samuel
would have to put up for these
baubles, the actual stock, without
any reference to watered stock,
he will have q job that will make
his head swim. The cost of the
late war, or rather the debt ut the
close of it, was about $4,000, ,OOO,.
600, but this sum is but a trifle
when we come to estimate the
amount Of money necessary to
purchase the railroad, telegraph,
telephone, express and Z coal
properties Of the country. Sup.
pose the state of Arkansas had
to buy her share of these proper.
ties, her 1000 miles of railroad and
all the telephone, telegraph and
express lines in the state, together
with all the coal fields owned by
corporations aud individuals. At
go, 900 per mile the railroads
would cost us $50,OO0,00O. Say
the other items would foot up
$40, 100000 and we have the neat
little sum of s60,OO0,090 as the
share Of Arkansas. Is there any
POpulist that would like to see
Arkansas taxed for that sum or
for interest on that sumi To pay
interest OH the vast sum required
to make these purchases the gov.
ernment would be compelled to
double and perhaps treble the
rate of taxation enforced ut
present. Aud ifthis large amount
should not be levied as direct
taxes it would be felt not the less
sensibly because exacted under
the forms Of indirect taxation.
The scheme is too expensive-if
there were no other objections to

There is a feeling of dissatis-
faction prevalent among the pop
ulists, of the county over the
action Of the Republicans, putting
out candidate for Governor and
refusing to indorse in anyway the
POpulists candidates.. 1t was
their hope that Barker would
show up, in his speech Tuesday,
the record of the democratic party
in such an unfavorable light that
the voters would flock to his
standard. Instead, he was kept
bnsy defending his own unsavory
record, and it was confessed by
many of the Populists that his
defense was Q very weak one.

have nothing to do with their

MR.. EDITOR: Il notice in your
paper of recent date that the Re-
publicans Of Washington county
are in earnest concerning the
coming State aud county election.
l am glad to learn that the Repub.
licans of Washington county will
stick to the grand old party of
loyalty aud protection of Ameri.
can industries. While we have
to contend with two free trade
parties, If we will stick together
there is . possibility Of success 9.
l don't think a Republican can
afford to sacrifice his principles
and vote with either the Demo.
Gratis or Populists. II we we're
to vote with either, it would be
more consistent to vote with the
Democratic party, for the Popu-
lists have endorsed the Demo-
cratic policy which we believe is
destructive to the interests of our
country, not being content they
have virtually endorsed socialism
aud anarchy. The writer of this
letter was born in Washington
county and was raised in Benton
county, and was a Union soldier
in the war of 1361-65-hss been
q Republican from his boy.h0od
up to the present time-could not
have been anything else, political
". l will say to comrades in
arms, our cause was just when We
were defending the stars and
stripes. If we will examine the
records and policy of the Repub.
lican party it is the only political
partysthat represents the princi-
pies for which we offered our
lives a sacrifice. Comrades, let
me insist that we be careful, for
If we vote with the Populists, we
aid and assist in strengthening q
party that threatens our country
with such a rebellion as was
never known in our naticE. l
hope that every Republican voter
will 60 to the polls in September
and cast his vote for our nominee
for Governor aud not vote for q
State nominee Oh the Democratic
or Populist ticket. We are not
expected to vote with the Demo-
Gratis and we cannot afford to
vote with the Populists, for we
cannot cOuntenance insnrrcction
or rebellion, under Grover Cleve-
lands administration no more
than we could under a Republican
administration. If we are what
We claim to be, loyal citizens, 1
hope that every old soldier will
take heed to his ways respecting
the Populist party, touch not,
taste not, handle not the unclean
thing and shun the appearance of
evil.
