trary Notwithstanding the belief Of
some that the return of the Repub-
licans to power is absolutely nee
essary to the salvation of the coun-

a restoration of confidence, and ev-

line. In the very nature of things
the reaction must be instant, and
it is probable that the country will
soon recover the gold sent abroad
the past eighteen months.

The AGONY Is OVER.

The long struggle over the tariff
bill came to an end Monday when
the House, by a vote of 1872 to lO5,
decided to discharge the House con-
ferees from further consideration
of the measure and agreed to the
Senate amendments to the Wilson
bill. While the measure passed is
not altogether what was wanted by
the people, it is far more preferable
than the despised Mckinley law.
Indeed, it is admitted by the Dem
ocrats of the House to be better
measure than the famous Mills bill
was, and makes substantial reduc-
tions all along the line. Lumber,
wool and hemp are placed on the
free list. The duties in the wooden
and cottongoods schedule have been
reduced over so per cent; earthen-
ware from 81 to 50 per cent. ; metals
and metal manufacture from So to
IS per cent; chemicals from 80 to
Is per cent; wood and wood man.
ufacture from 80 to 22 per cent.
tobacco from 127 to los per cent.
fax and jute from IS to 4lper cent.
silk and silk manufactures from SO
to 46 per cent; pulp and paperfrom
% to 20per cent; sundries from 26
to 20 per cent; and many other re-
auctions we can not mention here.
One commendable feature Of the
bill is the income tax provision,
which taxes not what people con-
sumo, but what they have. The
Democrats of the House have made
gallant fight for principle, and
although theydid not secure per-
feet measure, it is a good begin.
ming, and is evidence of what is tc
follow in the way Of Democratic re.
trnnchment and reform.

GENERAL j. D. c. ATKINS.

In this issue of The CHRONICLE
will be found the announcement Of
General j. d. G. Atkins, of Henry
County, as candidate for seat in
the Fifty-fourth Congress OF the
United States, his claims to be sub
mitted to the Democratic primary,
September Is, 1894. The name of
this distinguished Democrat is too
well-known to the Democracy Of
Benton County to need any. intro
duction from us. He was a mem.
Der of the Congress of the Confed-
eracy during the civil war, and his
debates with Hon. Emerson Ether
idge, the noted Wing champion, are
not forgotten by Democrats who
lived through that stormy period
of our history. He represented the
Eighth district in Congress from
1871 to 1883, and during his in
, cumbency he he held the import
ant position Of chairman Of the ap-
preparation committee, and ranked
among the leading members Of the
House. No charge of corruption
or fraud has ever been made against
him, but his political record is one
Of purity and uprightness, and no
fault has been found with his per-
sonal character. Though consid-
erably advanced in years, General
Atkins is in vigorous health, and
his voice has lost none Of its old
time ring i'll defending the cause
of his party. He is an able expo
nent Of the principles Of Democra
cy, and is making a canvass Of the
entire district. General Atkins has
many friends in the district who
have urged him to make the race
and we commend him to the De
mocracy of Benton County with The
hope that his claims upon the par
ty will receive that consideration
to which they are entitled.

The resolution adopted by our
county convention last Monday,
recommending the best men for

Late advices from Medicine Lodge
are to the effect that the Hon. Jerry
Simpson will meet with some vigorous
opposition when he shall present him
self this fall for reelection to congress.
There is disafe ction, it is said, among
the Populites whom Mr.. Simpson rep
rresents, and to whom in turn he gave
most of the fame they enjoy at the ma
tional capital. A certain PopuIite sena-
tor, Landis Dynamo, has given out that
in his, hqpable opinion he, 5esn knock

propositio Il. does, involve ~ paradox.
And the slhibbalo til ofathe Lands party
is that the time mas gone by in Medi-
cine Lodge when men should be elect
ed TO congress because they don't W year
socks.
Fair and softly, Mr.. Lands and gen
tlemeu. 1t is not one-half as likely that
Medicine Lodge has outgrown Jerry
Simpson as that Jerry Simpson has
outgroWn Medicine Lodge. You are
just now represented in congress, gen
tIemen, by one of the ablest and most
creditable members of that body
namely, the Hon. Jerry Simpson. IF
that representatives election was, at
the first blush, a joke to m axe the
whole nation roar, the joke has long
since lost its flavor. Whatever Jerry
Simpson may have been when he went
up to Washington he is no mans fool
today. His colleagues, most of whom
have no. respect for his political and
economic the cries, do not lack respect
for him. W hen he rises to speak they
listen. He does not bore them or move
them to ronic laughter. His words are

LABOR IN ENGLAND.

England promises to lead America in
the labor reform. The parish councils
bill, now before parliament, is the be-
ginning of an entire change in the En-
glish form of government-the control
of parliament by the trades unions.
Or, in other words, turn over the poll
tical, social, economical and financial
power of the country to the control of
labor. This is Fowler's bill for the re
organization of local - government
throughout England. To see the power
conferred as is proposed, to take lands
for allotments, is something startling
in primogeniture England. Then the
movements in London, headed: by that
remarkable man, John BURNS, are re-
moving step by step one disab;l ity and
another from the path of labo and its
power, so that the change will be com
plete before it is practically appre-
hended. A most remarkable change
has come almost spontaneou sly, the
greatest triumph for labor yet secured.
