In his speech here Tuesday Pro-
fessor Minis, Populite candidate for
governor discussed at great length
the many evils of national Repub-
Iican legislation, but like others of
his kind he deliberately charged it
up to the Democratic party. He
seemed to be thoroughly conver-
SAINT with all the campaign thunder
Of Republican politicians, and his
abuse Of Democracy would do cred
it to the most pronounced South
hater in New England. He made
a weak argument in favor of the
Government issuing money direct
to the people at 2 per cent. interest,
the loan to be secured by real es-
tate. Now this is a temptation bait
intended to catch the poor man, but
the man present who did not own
land failed to see how he could be
benefited, even on the face of the
proposition, and the families with
out homes constitute more than GO
per cent. of our population. Not
withstanding the charge has been
proven false, he made use of the
same base fabrication now being
proclaimed by H. Clay Evans con-
cerning the sale Of the penitentiary
bonds, charging Governor Turney
with dating the bonds back to 1898
therebymaking Latham, Alexander
& Co. present of 27,00O Taking
it altogether his speech was a rounC
of abuse of Democracy with only 6
gentle remonstrance now and theI
for the Republicans. 1t may be
possible that the professor is labor
ing under the delusion that our peo
pie are not familiar enough will
governmental affair to comprehend
the actual condition of affairs anC
the influence that has controlled
national legislation during the pas
thirty years. In any event he vii
take lesson from the Novembe
] election.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1894-09-14

COLONEL r. P. COLE has issued a
circular letter to his friends in the
district which is a reply to General
Atkins Paris speech, in which he
denounced Colonel Cole as a "po-
litical trickster" for circulating a
letter that General Atkins was in
Congress when silver was demone-
tized. The reference was made to
the act of the Forty-third Congress
demonetizing Except as to five dol
lars) standard silver dollars, and
Colonel Cole says Il would like for
General Atkins to state how he vot-
ed June %, 1874, on the revised
statutes, which demonetized silver
and limited its legal tender quality
to S.. He was in Congress at the
time, and [ can find no record of
his vote against it" Any Demo
crat has the right to make inquiry,
write letters and comment on the
passage of this bill in the Forty
third Congress, when General At.
kins was a member, and if General
Atkins has made the mistake Of
confusing the reference made to the
acts of the Forty-third Congress tc
mean the Forty-second Congress
he is doing Colonel Cole a serious
injustice by permitting the denun
citation Of the latter to remain be
fore the public.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1894-09-14

In the joint discussion at Den
mark, in Madison County, on last
Saturday Mr.. Enloe put to General
Atkins the question whether he
voted for the bill when he was a
member Of Congress in 1874, which
took away the legal tender quality
of silver except in sums of So. In
referring to this legislation Sena-
tor Harris said "that by the pas
sage Of the revised statutes in 1874
the legal tender quality of silver
was limited to So, and the work of
the single standard gold monomet-
alist was accomplished" This was
the fatal and final death blow at
silver, and it was done in the pres
ence Of General Atkins and while
he represented the Democracy and
people of this district in Congress.
While claiming that his Legislative
record has been friendly to silver,
General Atkins declined to explain
why he permitted this to be done
although the question was pressed
by Mr.. Enloe in his rejoinder. The
records Of public men are public
property, and General Atkins has
materially injured himself in the
eyes Of the people by refusing OF
failing to disclose his vote upon &
very important act of legislation
an act in which the people are seri
ously interested, because it was the
final blow which started silver onit'
downward course of depreciation

MUCH has been written and spoken
regarding England's interest in the abo-
lition of the American protective tariff
system. but if the choice were offered
Great Britain between q protective tariff
and free coinage Of silver in America,
she would choose the former without
hesitation. England controls our market
through her gold, and viii continue to do
SO as long as we adhere to the single me-
tallic standard Our tariff does not wor-
~ her much SO long az she can buy our
raw material in a market cheapened by
the demonstration Of silver and convert
il into articles Of merchandise by labor
fed upon our food products greatly
cheapened BY the same cause. She does
not need to sell these goods in our pro-
tected market; she can exchange them
for goods that are on our free list and sell
them to US, thus evading the tariff en-
tirely. Precisely this system is in opera
ton, and will be kept u p until we destroy
it by opening our minis to the coinage Of
silver She has carried the same scheme
into India. IL is not possible that the
people at Washington are so blind as
not to see this. Their action is criminal,
nothing less.
