CAMPBELL TO FOUNTAIN.

THE DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN ASKS, tIs
 sKAGas A REPUBLIcAN?"
 MT. B. K. Campbell, chairman of the Ninth district democratic executive com- mittee, having been requested to arrange for a joint discussion between Senator Morgan and MT. Skaggs by Mir. Jerry Flo untain, chairman, sent the following very appropriate reply:
 BIRMINGHAM, Ala, o ct. 19, 1894. MT. Jerry Fountain, Chairman
 DEAR SIR: Your letter for joint dis cussion between Senator John T. Morgan aud Mir. w. H. Skaggs here and at One onta came too late for me to communicate with the senator, and do not feel author ized to make definite reply until can hear from him. He is expected here today.
 On prior occasions Senator Morgan has declined joint discussions with gentlemen claiming to be democrats. As the prescott campaign is between democrats and repub- licans-Mr. Underwood. the nominee of the democratic party, and an avowed dem- ocrat, on the one side, and MT. Aldrich the nominee of the republican party, and an avowsd republican, on the oth CT side Senator Morgan may refuse to divide time with Mir. Skaggs unless he is 8 republican.
 In order that the senator may be in formed of the fact in this regard will you kindly inform me at once whether MT. Skaggs claims to be democrat or a republican i. Respectfully, E. K. CAMPBELL, Chairman of the Democratic Congressional
 Executive Committee.

IN BRACING OCTOBER. Strength Should Return and
 Languor Go. No Season Is So Good for Building Up the Brain and Body. Paine's Celery Compounds Work of Mercy in Count
 loss Homes.

The prostrating heat of summer has long since gone.
 ] There is now but one excuse for languor and lack of energy-ill health. l With the return of bracing, vigorous weather the thoroughly well men and women find the prospect of work attractive. Business looks promising. The indolent, unambitious feeling of few months ago gives place to energy and hard work.
 That is, provided one is we'll.
 To the sick man or woman the prospect is doleful. The thousands of persons who worked right through the hot summer and the many whose vacation, instead of re- cruiting their strength, has only made in- creased demands on their tired nerves aud brain-these unhappy ones should take ad- vantage of the bracing days and nights to store their bodies with pure, vigorous

DO YOUR DUTY.

At Utica, N. Y., on the 18th instant, Senator Hill delivered another great polit- ical speech before an immense gathering of the people. In opening his remarks he said:
 ''This is contest purely for party su- premacy. If we are defeated the Democratic party will become and remain minority party for many years to come, not only in the State of New York. but in the nation. Thus the party will be unable to continue in practice in the nation and State the various reforms to which the party is pledged. Every Democrat Aehould bear in mind that he is individually in- terested in the result of this contest, and the \party expects and depends upon his support \p order to win success. The crisis " hich nfronts the party should rally every Dem- Iat under the banner which Is to be carried ictory by our glorious old party on No- fer 6. That we shall win with united

HIGH TARIFF AND Low WAGES.

HIGH TARIFF AND LOW WAGES.
 We repnblish below an editorial from the St. Louis Republic of September 26, with out comment pr suggestion other than that, in view of the republican pretense that pro. lection is for the benefit of the laboring men and wage-earners, the article should receive the earnest and unprejudiced con- sideration of that class of our people. All men should wish to view in it's true light any matter that vitally concerns them:
 "McKiniey, the logical candidate of the repu blican party for the presidency, says that there are two ways of checking i'm. portations-one by imposing full or pro- hibitive tariff and the other by lowering wages.
 sfThen it ought to be found that full or prohibitive tariff increases wages both in the special lines of protected industry and generally throughout the country. McKin- wages in the most fully protected lines and a tendency downward In all wage earning occupations. How is this?
 t'lt ought also to be instan taneously ap- parent that wages are first increased in the particular line where the prohibitive duty is levied, and subsequently, increased from industry to industry until everybody is getting good wages. But instead of being so instantaneously apparent that the intel ligent workingman can see the swell of in- crease starting from the particular point and lifting the level of the whole country, 1t is never apparent at all and the working man must take McKinley's word for the blessings that attend prohibitive rate.
 s'In 1892 the republican platform de- manded duties equal to the difference in wages between the United States and coun- tries which send goods here.
 Democrats at once promised that they would not propose tariff in this congress which would not give duties to that amount. Not that they conceded any con- nection between @ tariff and wages, but that they had no desire to at once radically re- duce duties to the extent literal compli- ance with the republican platform would require. To 1t q tarin to the republican platform it would be necessary to figure out the labor cost of each protected article. For instance, the tariff maker must find out how much the manufacturers here end abroad pay for the labor employed in mak- ing ton of iron, yard of dress goods and a set of table china. He would find out that the American manufacturer pays less than the English and great deal less than the Spanish or Italian.
 "Hence, to reduce duties to meet the re- publican piatform's demand would be to abolish them altogether. Of course, the republicans did not intend to demand free trade; but to construe their platform ac- cording to the known facts of manufactur- ing production would be to liberate trade, absolutely and finally.
 sBoth the republican platform of 1892 and the logical republican candidate for
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-10-20
PRINCIPLE INVOLVED.

The Republicans continually harp on the profit or loss of tariff legielation. They never mention the principle involved. Quite the reverse is the course of the Dem- ocratic party--it looks to principle, not profit. The Democratic party does not act as if the government was a commissary store. Uncle Sam does not sell groceries, dry goods, nor wet goods. It is this matt ter of principle, not profit, that attracts young men to the Democratic party. They know that the principles of tariff reform as advocated by Democracy are right. They may not be able to argue the point, but they feel instinotiv ely that they are right. Young men are not governed by self inter- est, and they love truth, honesty and jus- tice.
 Illustrative of this devotion to princi- pie as shown by the Democratic party we give the following incident now going the rounds of the press, and it clearly shows that the great head of the party is in sym pathy with it's bedrock principle of honesty:
 In speech at Nashville Governor elect Oates of Alabama told the story how he had urged President Cleveland to sign the seign- forage bill, using the argument that "$55,- 900, ,000 IS a comparatively small sum and no harm can come from adding that amount to the silver currency already on hand, and then it would allay this clamor brought about by tLe suspension of silver coinage and take the issue out of the campaign and adding that the President ought to sign .tfor the good of the party.'' ''Tne President,' continued Mir. Oates, 'looked at me and said: Oates. has the party any principles9' Q, yes,' replied. linen it should live by those principles and not be paid to do right, said Mr Cieveland.' In comment the Nash vile Banner (Dem.) says: "The country has not produced many poli- ptfcians since the early days of the republic who would take and maintain this exalted stand

blood and their nervous system with en- ergy before the cold weather ovsrtakes them in their weak, "run downn condi- tion.
 Paine's celery compound should be taken during the month of October. It will build up the tired system wonderfully. Increased appetite and steady gain ia weight during the month will show un- mistakably the stim ulating effect of this remarkable nerve food. To those who know anything of the working and the purpose of the nervous system 1t is evident that the prompt feeding of the nerves with Paine's celery compound must be followed by decided gain in health and vigor of the entire system. There is no organ of the body that is not controlled by the nerves.
 It is the putting off of attention to the signs of heart weakness that fills the sta- tistics with overwhelming numbers of deaths from "heart failure." Those who at once build up their strength and nourish the feeble nerve centers with Paine's cel- cry compound, check weakness of tbat im- portant organ as readily as weakness of any other part of the body. This greatest mod ern invigorator, discovered by the man whom Dartmouth college is most proud to honor, Prof. Edward B. Phelps, M. D.. i, LL. D., was welcomed as more than ex. traordinary step in advance of anything be- fore at the command of physicians, for curing rheumatism, neuralgia, debility. SOuu JiobS WOLu0u, W0aks t0lO, m6Eo Ouu. dles of nerves, and discouraged by their in. ability to gain strength, have been started on the sure road to recovery by Paine s celery compound.
 Physicians prescribe it the world over {.
 Get strong and well with Paine's celery compound.
 Here is the experience of Mrs. William McCollem of Trenton, Mo. who says:
 ''I have had neuralgia for eight or ten years: began to think that eventually it would cause my death. would have three or four awful attacks in a month, and all the pain would settle in the base of my brain, and extend down my back, last ing several hours.ssr 7,.. elet1
 "We tried everything that we could think of, but nothing did me any lasting good until my mother came ou a. visit and told me to try Paine's celery compound, as she was using it for nervous trouble with wonderful success. We both think your compound saved us from going crazy. only used two bottles of it, but have not had 8 return of my old enemy since.
 ''One thing is certain, and that is the doctors could not do anything for me. Some told me it was caused by nervous trouble, some said it was female trouble, some said one thing, some said another, but, thanks to your wonderful compound, am free once moro. 1 have often thought that would write and tell you what re- lief it is to be free from pain, but I neg : lected it from time to time. You may be- lieve that l shall always speak kind word for Paine'S celery compound.

1896 have either lied to the American people or have exposed a. singular ignorance of one in McKinley's case. He is probably the most ignorant man that ever led on an economic issue in any country. He gave himself over early to commonplace gen. eralizations and has done no more in his later career.
 elf he knew what he was talking about his speeches would be wretched and gtastly examples of falsehood. But he does not know. He prates and prates and prates. He never debates definite proposition and never yet even proposed to encounter an economist.''

THE evening Republican paper comes out in double leaded editorial in favor of 8 third party. This lets the cat out of the bag at last. All familiar with this paper, it's editor and its environment, knew that it was an anomaly. To support the Demo- cratic party would be inconsistent, to sup port the Populist faith would be marvellous, to support the Republican creed would be monstrous. Therefore it must start an- other party to have something to support. No wonder it advocates third party--one opposed to Democracy, Republicanism and Populism.
