The Situation.

Some of the friends of silver have
spoken unadvisedly of the presi-
dents attitude on silver. He has,
in our opinion, pursued the wise pol
icy. He saw that the free coinage
of silver here would bankrupt the
nation. He saw further that Eu-
rope should bear its just proportion
of the silver burden, and should
not be permitted to throw it all up
on this government. He knew that
the trade allies of England, India,
China, Japan, Australia and all the
South American nations were large
producers of silver, and that Eng
land must take their silver for her
goods. If she could force us to
free coinage, she would have ready
market for her silver, and could
take our gold for her own eircula-
ton, to our disadvantage. He saw
that the only hope for silver as
money was to force England, and
that means Europe, to return to the
double standard, and already his
wisdom has borne fruit, for Eng
land has her bimetalism convention
in assembly at this writing, and the
veriest financiers of the nation are
in it, and they are seeking a way to
return to the double standard, and
thus to restore silver to its true
place as a circulating medium.
What the president has delivered
will come to pass, and within short
period silver will be restored to its
true place as money, and free coin
age will be made possible without
iniuring the nation. CleTeland is
patriot. He loves his country and
has stood for its best interests. We
should trust him as a people, and
the day will come when the bright
est Jewel in his crown of statesman
ship will be tie position he has Oc-
cupied on the silver question. He
has been consistent, and his reason
ing has been able, wise and for the
very best interest of the nation. He
has desired a sound money. 1t is
the only money which any citizen
should want. The poor man must
have an honest dollar to give sta
bility to his bread-earning power,
and the rich should desire to give
stability to property. So the ma
ton, poor and rich, should stand
for IL. vote for il and be satisfied
with nothing less. Cleveland has
occupied the correct position on sill
yer and the people will soon find it
out.-Martin Tenn. Mail.

What Have the Democrats Accom-.
plished I?

Ask the above question of a man
who favors ''free and unlimited
coinage of silver" and he will reply
nothing" But examine the facts
in the case and see what the Demo
Gratis have accomplished.
The House has passed the Wilson
tariff bill, which greatly reduces
the tax on the necessaries of life.
Incorporated within the Wilson
bill is provision to tax incomes
in other words to compel the own
ers of government bonds, bank
stocks and other property hereto
fore exempt, to bear their just pro-
portion of taxation. This bill is
now under discussion in the senate.
Amendments have been made to the
original Wilson bill, and when it is
returned to the House it will be
somewhat altered, but the princi-
pie features will stand.
The purchasing clause of the Sher-
man Silver Act has been repealed,
as provided for in the Democratic
platform.
The Odious Federal election law
has been wiped from the statute
book.
The pension list has been largely
reduced, and thousands of claimants
who were drawing pensions without
cause and unjustly have been drop
ped from the rolls.
The clerical force in the different
departments has been curtailed.
The appropriation bills have been
scaled.
The salaries of thousands of en-
ployees have been reduced.
The services of hundreds of un-
necessary men and women " no have
been in the government employ
have been dispensed with.
The above are few things that
have been accomplished under Mr..
Cleveland's administration.

If il were not that with each re-
curing year there has been an in
crease in the volume of the currency
since 1872, with the exception of
1867 and 1891, we would be in
clined to attribute the financial de-
preston to the scarcity of money.
But in 1873, the year of the demon
itizatiOn of silver, the volume of
the currency of the United States
was only $774, 4l5, 6lO, whereas in
1892 it was 81, 2l9, 7l9, 1913, an in
crease of 81, 445, z73, 2ss, in the vol
ume of che currency in nineteen
years, and an increase in the per
capita during the same length of
time, of 6.43. The Bulletin would
hail with delight any Legislation
that would add to the prosperity of
this country, but as depression, in
the past, has followed an increase in
the currency instead of decrease,
we fail to see the wisdom in the de-
claration that the want of more mon
ey is the cause of the decrease in
the price of agricultural products.
Since 1873, silver has fallen in val
ne not only in the United States but
the world over, hence it would be
folly to charge any act of the law
makers of the United States with
the fall of that metal in other por-
tions of the world. Congress has
been much more cOnsiderate towards
the interests of those who have their
millions invested in silver mines

than those who have theft money in
vested in land. The Government
has never yet furnished a market to
the farmer, who raises cotton, wheat,
potatoes and hogs, but it did fur
nish a market for the silver mine
owners to the extent of 4 500, 900
ounces of silver monthly, and as
long as it did SO, the cry for free
and unlimited coinage of silver was
not heard throughout the land as at
present. As long as a market was
furnished to the silver mine owners
they were satisfied. We recognize
the fact that the currency should be
sufficient to transact the business of
the country, but it should be good
money, and it should be sound and
flexible. 1t should be of such a
character as will not admit of doubt
as to its purchasing power. We do
not want cheap money, but good
money, and in order to prevent a
depreciation it is, we believe, neces-
sary for gold to remain the standard
until an international agreemant is
entered into.

The Democratic convention to
nominate d candidate to succeed
Hon: Henry SnOdgrass in the Third
Congressional District is now in
session at Cleveland, Tenn. The
fight promises TO be lively. There
are two candidates, Snodgrass and
Frazier. The former has 81 2-1O
votes instructed, the latter sc $40.
There are 20 contested votes. The
Snodgrass men have organized the
convention and will no doubt seat
the contested delegates. If these
delegates are seated in Snodgrass'
favor he viii still lack 10 votes of
having the necessary two-thirds
to nominate. Both factions have
decided that no dark horse shall en-
ter the race.

ALTHOUGH the South is taxed
$40, 900, 900 annually for pensions,
and only a small portion of that
amount is distributed in this section
of country, it is, nevertheless, bear
ing up under the existing trials sur
prisingly well. The frequent es-
adjustment of cotton mills in the
South and the success that the oper-
ators have attained have set at
naught the assertion made by Nor
thern spinners that they will never
become competitors of the New Eng
land mills. While mills elsewhere
were shutting down Southern mills
are yearly consuming more cotton.
During the season of 1899-94, up to
April 81, the Southern mills con-
sumed $50, 959 bales. During the
season of 1928 they consumed
500, asa bales and in 1912 they
consumed $685. bales. Instead
of increasing the consumption, the
Northern mills have, for the same
period of time consumed less cotton.
They required last year up to April
%, 1897, 4ss bales, and had only
taken up to the 9th of last month
1859, $50 bales, a decrease of 1885,
252 bales. AS it has been demon
strated that cotton goods can be man.
ufactured at a less cost in the South
than in the North, the establishment
Of cotton mills on Southern soil will
probably occur more frequently in
the future than in the past. The
South, truly, has reason to be proud
of the record it has made since the
war, and its prospects for future
prosperity are indeed encouraging.
All that it requires is eqnal rights
and equal privileges.

Heroes IF 1896.

In response to the call for recruits
to reinforce the army on the Texas
frontier in 1886 to repel the inva-
sion of Santa Anna, the Hardeman
Guards were organized by Gen. r.
Z. Nicely, and ordered to rendezvous
at Jackson, Tenn, where they were
organized into a regiment of which
Gen. Nicely became commander.
Owing to the amicable relations ex-
listing between the United States
and Mexico, Texas being yet an in
dependent government under Hous-
ton, President Andrew Jackson
having no immediate use for the
services of the Guards Tor the reg
iment with which they had become
assOciated) had the organization
mustered out of service. During
the same year $3.50 a call for
twenty companies was made to go
into the Seminole war. The Har-
deman Guards was one of the fif-
ty-three companies which respond
ed, and was one of the thirty-three
companies balloted out. Soon after
Gen. Winfield Scott was sent south
to quell the Cherokee and Greek In
dian troubles, and this company,
which had never disbanded, re-
sponded to his call and went into
service. Ten years later, a part of
the company volunteered for the
Mexican war and served through
that bloody period. Then came the
war between the states in 1861, and
those of them living stepped into
ranks and followed their gallant
commander of so many years. OF
this company, once the pride of Boil
ivar and Hardeman county, there
are eight or nine living, out of 1O4
originally, and on last Monday, as
has been their custom for many
years, the remnant met in Bolivar
at Gen. Neely's office to review the
events of those days so long gone,
and to renew the ties made sacred
by the lapse of years and the recol-
lectiOns of soldiers life. OF the
original members present there were
only fourteen. r. P. Nicely, VIM.
Porter, w. f. Roberts and J. M.
Mills. Squire Wiley Fort and
Rev. G. G. Mcdaniel (the latter
acting as secretary and chaplain)
were the honorary members present.
After a pleasant business and social
meeting the above named gentlemen
repaired to the residence of Mrs.
Nicely, where an elegant dinner was
served. 1t was an agreement when
the company disbanded that so long
as two of them were living they
would hold a meeting the second
Monday of May each year at Boil
var and thus keep fresh the memory
of those eventful days and renew
their allegiance to their old COM
mander, Gen. Nicely. These heroes
of 80 are now far advanced in years,
the youngest of the company being
Seventy-seven years old.

The supreme court of the United
States has decided that the Mobile
d Ohio Railroad Company is not
liable for the tax assessed against ii
for the years 1885 to 1889 inclusive.
The supreme court of this state de-
cided that the road was liable.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices
Gray, Brewer and Shiras, of the
United States supreme court, dis
scented from the decision of the
other members of that court. The
question involved was the constitu-
tionality of the eleventh section of
the charter of that road, which ex-
empted the capital stock forever
from taxation, exempted the road
and fixtures for twenty-five years,
and provided that there should be
no taxation which would reduce the
divisions below 8 per cent, the
state constitution providing that all
property shall be taxed according to
its value, that value to be equal and
uniform throughout the state. The
majority of the members of the
court held that under the constitu-
ton of 1884 the state had the power
to levy discriminating and exempt
ing taxation when it granted char
ters. Taxes aggregating about
$3.50, 900 were involved in the de-
cisiOn.

THE dilatoriness of the senate
in acting upon the tariff measure is
sufficient grounds to cause the peo-
pie to grow FESTIVE. A tariff bill
passed the lower house of congress
last February, and was sent to the
senate soon after it's passage, but
the Mckinley law still remains in
force. So far, the senate has fail
ed to vote upon any tariff measure
whatever, and its inertness is addi-
tiOnal proof of the advisableness of
not only electing senators by direct
vote of the people, but of reducing
their term of Office. If brought in
20 closer touch with the people, that
grave body would doubtless be more
active in legislating in such a manner
as would be acceptable to their con-
stituents.
