on the approach of winter of the

such necessities that the new tariff
law has kindly placed within the

G. q. Club.

Since a Shelby county grand
jury, with a republican for fore
nan and an honest democrat like
John Hillsman as secretary, have
found that the democratic officials
have not been collecting state and
county taxes to the enormous sum
of millions the papers are frantic
for a change. They have organ
lied "good government club" in
Memphis.
Article 1.-THE object of this club
shall be to aid, encourage and, if need
be, urge the officers of our city and
county to enforce our laws, and especially
the revenue laws, with a view of securing
the collection of all taxes imposed and
an equal distribution of the burdens OF
government.
Recognizing the fact that the
oath of office amounts to nothing,
the bond still less, they have or.
ganized a sort of moral influence
espionage club to pray for them
while they search their pockets.
The best "good government
club in America is the Republi-
can League club. The club the
Memphis thieves needs is one of

Turney at ClarksvllIe.

Governor Turney, in a concise and
emphatic manner, showed up III. Clay
Evans as not only an investigator and
warm supporter of the obnoxious force
bill, a ringleader of monopolies and com
bines and an advocate OF high and pro
tective tariff, but also as a demagogue of
the old republican type, misrepresenting
his own and his party's position by
advocating doctrines in direct opposition
to each other in West and East Tennessee,
and when called to account for such
inconsistency evaded the questions at
issue.-American.
We were positively assured that
this democratic "nifty" would not
talk but one talk and that was at
Murfreesboro. Evans has evidently
accomplished some good. He has
in his practical, common sense
injected some of the elixir of life
into the "war relic" 1t is true his
mumblings are incoherent, indi-
eating an advanced stage of en-
ility, but it is gratifying to his
friends that he can talk at all.
We trust now that he will de-
fend his million dollar Legislature
and his Delphic messages. We
want to hear him on the "no
fence" law and the relic purchase.

/ have seen in the newspapers
that men who worked at the Roane
Iron works were forced to take
their pay in scrip. l worked there
seven years as a heater. Every
body got their money the 18th of
each month. Hon. H. Clay Evans
often lectured me and told me not
to draw my wages in scrip, but to
leave it in the Office, get it in
money and save it. Mr.. Evans
was not responsible for the scrip ;
he was only an officer on salary,
and had to obey orders. l am a

1t seems that Hon. H. Clay
Evans political enemies are at
their old rot and lies again, trying
to poison the workingmen's mind
against him by telling the unmiti.
gated lie that the men who worked
for the Roane Iron Company,
when he was secretary and treas
urer, were forced to take their
wages in scrip. l worked for the
Roane Iron Company for sixteen
years and I never drew one cent of
my wages in script. l got my pay
in United States currency the 18th
of every month, and never was
asked to trade at the company's
store. l never bought but 50 cents
worth in the company's store in
the sixteen years, and that was a
donation to a colored church. l
have worked in Ponynervon,
Wales, at my trade, blacksmithing.
My pay there was IS cents per
day. My pay for the same work
under Mr.. Evans was $3,25 per
day. This was 50 cents more than
the average pay paid blackSmiths
in Chattanooga. l have worked
for many bosses, but never worked
for a more generous and all round
good man than Mr.. Evans, and /
know he would make as good a
governor as Tennessee ever had.
With his untiring energy, his abil-
ity and his national reputation he
could induce men of money to in
vest in the state, and be the means
of employing the 10000 idle men
now in the state. Peter Turney
may be an honest man, but he lived
thirty years ago. We need a live
man for governor, and if the work.
ingmen Of this state want to serve
their own interest they will vote
for Mr. Evans. l cannot conceive
how any intelligent workingman
can vote to reduce his own wages,
and every vote you cast for a dem
ocrat means that very thing. l
have already told you the differ.
ence in my wages in this country
and England. If you vote to throw
down the bars of protection it is
just as true as gospel your wages
will be reduced to a level of them
paid in the old country, which is
only an average of one.third paid
in this country. AS 1 will make

Those SGOO.OOO Bonds.

The quarterly report of State
Treasurer Craig, completed today,
shows that there was in the treas
ury July 1, 1894, $934,oSI.49.-
Commercial Appeal.
The state has bought and paid
for the lands near Nashville upon
which to build the main prison ;
has bought and paid for the Brushy
creek "slip" and squeeze" coal
lands; paid the salaries of the
commissioners and all expenses,
and according to the above have
$934,oSI.49 in the treasury.
This vindicates Mr.. Harris, the
comptroller, and demonstrates the
terrible folly of issuing $6oo,ooo
bonds and paying $4,000 per an
mum interest. Will not the rising
generation who have this debt to
provide for curse u stupidity?

II. Clay Evans came to Chattanooga
when a boy; has lived here thirty two
years; has been a good and valuable citi.
zen; bis children were all born here; the
remainder of his life will be spent here;
he has worthily filed various high posi-.
lions in which he has earned the admi-
ration OF even his political opponents for
the capacity and energy he has shown.
But why waste time in reciting these
things when he was guilty of the heinous
and objectionable crime OF having been
born in Pennsylvania.

Wherever William Mckinley, of Ohio,

The democrats appropriated $400, 600

This degree of accuracy in public bust

Every highly cultivated nation

Every highly cultivated nation
has made the protection of domes.
tic industry the special care of
government. 1t has been found
by the experience of more than
twenty centuries that the protec.
ton of domestic manufactures by
prohibitions, discriminating duties,
and commercial regulations has
been and is the true, natural, and
wise policy of nations, or all his
tory lies.-Thaddeus Stevens.
1t may be a question as to how
far this government or any govern
ment should go in ~legislating to
furnish work for its citizens but
there should be no question that to
close up the avenues of employ
ment already created is vicious

Milliu, of Michigan.
Congress has repeatedly, and
not without success, direct
ed attention to the encour-
agement of manufactures. The
object is of too much conse-
quence not to insure a continuance
of their efforts every way which
shall appear eligible. - George
Washington.
The ascendency of the demo-
cratic party after thirty-two years

If by a reversal of our policy,

rows, of Michigan.
Free trade will offer free raw

Vermont.
The citizens of no state who
rely upon the citizens of another
state to purchase their products,

The western farmers instinct is

The prosperity of every class of
