IF silver and gold were
shipped to Hardeman county
in carload lots, the peopls of
the county would not be able
to gain possession Of one dol
lar unless they had equiv
lants to offer. Neither gold
nor silver mines are owned
by the people; hence it is not
the duty of the Government
to protect the owners OF
either mines to any greater
extent than is necessary to
acquire a suffient amount OF
currency to transact the le-
gitimate business ofthe coun-
try.

ment then find favor with the
people. At that time the
people wsre content with de-
pending upon their own re-
sources, and were net asking
that others be taxed to make
a living for them. Itwas the
time when there was more
thrift and energy, and when
it was not thought advisable
to depend upon politics for a
living. 1t was before the
establishment of the Republi-
can party, that is responsible
for laws, that has added
to the wealth of the favored
few at the expense of the
many, which by precept and
example, caused many to be-
lieve that it is just and
right for a part of the people
to be taxed for the benefit of
others. Such is the funda-
mental principles of that
party, but it is wrong in
principle and injurious in
practice. AS the people are the
Government, no law can be
just that prevents equal rights
and privileges.

THE House committee o

THE House committee on
banking and currency have,
by a vote of 8 to 5, adopted a
report favoring the taxing OF
greenbacks, which is a cur
rency issued during the war,
and in order to sustain credit
with financiers was exempted
from taxation. The opinion
of Representative Hall, Of Mis-
souri,, az to the measure is as
follows:
81 regard the measure as a most
significant one. The grsenback was
originally the peoples money, but
of late il has become the pet of the
national banks. They have kept it
from circulation, as its freedom from
taxation made it more desirable to
keep in the bank vaults than silver
or gold, which are subject to taxa
ton. The anxiety of the banks to
get hold of greenbacks has been so
great that a fraudulent practice has
grown up. There are only $780,
900, 900 of greenbacks in circulation,
vet official returns show that banks
and individuals claim exemption of
three billions of grecnbacks. The
manner of conducting the fraud is
simple. A package of greenbacks
is passed from bank to bank, ahead
of the tax assessor and at each bank
he exempts the same package of
greenbacks. The Cooper bill will
put an end to this practice.

following upon the heels of one of
the most disastrous financial panic
in our history.
The 500, 100000 surplus
was not in the treasury during
the last campaign when Mr..
Hill was making speeches
over the country in defense
of Democratic principles. 1t
arose under Democratic rule
and disappeared under Re-
publican rule after the tax
had been increased. 1t seems
that Mr.. Hill did not know
how great was his love for
the manufactors until since
the people have been so taxed
as to render them unable to
purchase all the output of the
factories. His inconsistency
is exhibited. He arraigned
the president because Of his
selecting Gresham as one of
his cabinet, but being a Re-
publican in principle, Mr..
Hill should not object to Re-
publicans being honored. He
opposes the income tax and
believes that the poor should
be compelled to bear the tax
burden. He is a traitor and
should be treated as such by
all Democrats.

SILVER mines are owned

may rest assured that the

one dollar of their silver
without compensation. We

An unusual scene was that
which occurred on the his
toric Shiloh battlefield on
Friday and Saturday of last
week. 1t was the thirty Sec
oud anniversary Of the men,
orable event when two oppO-
sing armies, in battle array,
contended for supremacy. At
that time thousands of valia.l 1T
soldiers laid down their lives
upon their country's altar. 1t
was there that the lie blood
Of Albert Sidney Johnston,
the great and chivalric com
mander, ebbed away, and in
his death a Waterloo for
Grant and his army was avert
ed. At no time in the his
tory of the civil war did the
superiority of gereralship ap-
pear more striking than that
of Gen. Jehnston's when
compared with that of Gen.
Beauregard. By the asser-
ton made by Gen. Johnston
that "my horse will drink
from the Tennessee river be-
fore the sun sinks behind the
western horizon" he showed
his appreciation of time and
the correctness of his views
in that respect was verified
by subsequent events. Though
the Confsderates were flush
ed with victory, Gen. Beaure-
gard when he succeeded Gen.
Johnston, committed an eyre
gious and irreparable blum
der in withdrawing his troops,
and by so doing lost a victo-
ry already won. But the
meeting of the blue and the
gray last week was of a differ.
ent character to that of thir-
ty-two years ago. Instead of
hostilities there were greet
ings, and instead of the roar
of cannon and rattle of mus
kerry there were patriotic adj
dresses, an evidence that the
bitter feeling engendered by
the war is not cherished now
as afOretime.

SENATOR HILL delivered
his much advertised speech
on the tariff bill now pending
before the senate, last Mon
day. No stronger evidence
than his utterances on that
occasion is necessary to brand
him a renegade to reforma-
tory measures so clearly and
forcibly enunciated in the
Democratic national platform
of 1890. He takes the pscu-
liar position that a reforma-
ton of the tariff is necessary
only when the country is in
a prosperous condition. Up
on this subject ne says:
can extreme reduction of tariff
duties at a time when the Treasury
was swollen with a surplus OF $780,

sonably prosperous, when all our in

workingmen were employed assam-

form.

The Democratic party 10 pledged
to q sound currency, not to cheap
one. 1t is pledged to the use of
both gold and silver as the standard
money of the country and to the
coinage of both gold and silver
without discrimination, the dollar
unit of coinage of both metals to be
of equal intrinsic value, and ex-
changeable value, to be insured by
such safeguards of legislatin as
shall insure the maintenance of the
parity of the two metals, and the
equal power of every dollar at all
times in the markets and in payment
of debts. 1t is certain that our
silver dollar is not today of equal
intrinsic or exShangeable value of
our gold dollar, nor is it of equal
power in the markets, except at
home. But by reason of the
safeguards of legislation the gov
ernment has thus far been able to
maintain the parity of the two met

But if there should be such legislation
as will infuse an additional amount
of silver or silver certificates into our
currency, without some means being
at the same time provided through
which the government may, In
an emergency, borrow gold can the
maintenance of this be continued?
1t is the opinion of our best finan-
ciers that it cannot, and the president
is of this opinion. Montgomery Ad-

1T seems that the concep-
ton of many in regard to the
Government, is that it is a
huge monster, limitless in re-
sources, and that they are its
subjects over which it should
exercise a parental and fos-
teIing care. Certainly such
an opinion is very erroneous.
Instead of being subjects the
people are the Government,
and without them there would
be no Government. This en-
roneous idea that has sprung
