January LIST, 1895, has boon paid
there will be surplus in the treas
ure of s444,227. Upon this show
ing Mr.. Harris proposed to request
Governor Taylor to call the leg:sla-
fury together in extra session TOR
the purpose of repeating the clause
of the penitentiary act authorizing
the issue OF bonds, and to provide
instead that the surplus be utilized.
Should Governor Turney consent
Mr.. Harris will endeavor to secure
the consent of the democratic men,
bers to remain in session long
enough to rush this business through
and estimates that it would cost
only four hundred thousand dollars.
AS the penitentiary commissioners
say that only three hundred thous,
and dollars will be required the
first year, it seems possible to builc
the pen with the surplus revenue.

LEADING DEMOCRATS OPPOSE IT.

The Athens Athenian has the fol-
lowing to say about some of the
prominent democrats Of our state.
We heartily agree with all it says
"lf democrats, like republicans,
would vote as they belive there
would be no danger of such heresies
as the Wilson bill. But we have
very little sympathy for men who go
along and vote the straight demo
cratic ticket every year and then
kick because their party attempts to
put in practice whatit has always
preached, Col. a. S. Colyar, of
Nashville, is beyond all comparison
the ablest democrat in Tennessee,
and has more patriotism, that is
genuine Americanism, in his blood
than all the VIM. B. Bates and
Isham G. Harris this side of Mex
leo.
"Col. Colyar was a member of the
Confederate Congress, but he has
been patriot in his devotion to the
Union since the war, and still be-
lieves in protection to American in
dustries.
"This is what Col. Colyar has to
say of the proposed scheme of de-
struction: 'Iregard the Wilson bill
particularly in respect to free ore
and free coal, as destructive blow
against the South and in favor Of
New England. 1t is now question
whether we shall continue the splen-
didly promising development of the
vast mineral resources of the South,
which we have just begun, and
which are more than enough to an
swer the necessity of the whole
country, or abandon great and
broad industrial advancement, to
be transferred and contracted into
one corner of the country far less
favored by nature and already pos
scssed of what is comparatively the
money Of the country"

WHICH POLICY.

We could compete with England
in manufacturing if we paid the
same wages, but it is to be hoped
that Congress will preserve us from
such misfortune. The purchasing
power of a people depends entirely
on their earnings, and as the Wilson
bill will reduce their earnings, it
will diminish to the same extent
their purchasing power But how
does this effect the farmer, says enc.
Will it not give him cheaper cloth
ing and be better for him? Where
will the farmer sell hi, produce if
the mill hands and those who work
have their purchasing power so di-
minished that they will have to turn
producers instead of buying from
The farmer? The result will be our
farmers will have to bring their pro-
ducts into the competition of the
worlds markets and receive lower
prices for all they sell. Then after
the American manufacturers have
suspended England will have us at
her mercy and n..charge us what
she pleases for manufactured goods
and we will be compelled to take
what we can get for our products.
Do you want this country to become
entirely agricultural, or do you wish
a protective tariff and diversified in
dustries so We can be independent
to a great extent? The TINES pre-
fers the latter, and that is the rea
son we are republican.

had experience enough to suggest
caution in the election of the JUS
tees of the peace. In Tennessee it

but good men should hold it. The

question of taxation and of public

ALT TAYL0R'S TARIFF TALK.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Mr. Reed
and Mr.. Burrows made no mistake
when they put Mr.. Taylor. Of Ten
nessee, to follow Bourke Cochran in
the great tariff debate. He dis
cussed it from a purely southern
standpoint. With impassioned elo-
qucnce he pleaded the cause of
southern industries, and with with
ering sarcasm he scored southern
democrats for yielding up the inter-
ests of their section in the insane
desire to promote free trade. In
glowing colors he depicted the in
jury about to be wrought in the
south. He paid a high tribute to
the patriotism of the New England
democrats and admonished the south
ern members to follow::their exam

"But," said he, latter all is said
