came a fixity in our monetary system.
Money of all kinds was abundant, all
our industries were in full operation
and all sections were prosperous and
contented. 1t is true we had fanatics,
lunatics and a then, but they were
the curiosity of an hour. and they were
impotent to enlist even a passing no.
tice much less achieve any evil. The
accumulation of wealth went on with
out check or hindrance until the stream
dashed against and recoiled from the
obstruction of a Democratic triumph.
Ever since we have had strikes, riots,
depression, failures and multitudinous
nonsensical schemes of deliverance
from bankruptcy and ruin. The United
States, the richest and highest civiliza-
ton, has been brought down to the
low plane of Egypt, the poorest and the
most debased, for they are both now
borrowers from the same syndicate OF
European bankers-alike dependent
upon the sale of bonds to pay theil
debt and meet current expenses. The
true and immediate solution of the
vexing problem is to kill, not scotch,
the whole Democratic brood of wild
vagaries and shifting e~xpedients and
restore to power a party that has al
ways given to the country sound money,
a stable currency, and remunerative
wages to labor as well as protection tt

give reason, judgment, common hon

we will have no more of the pernici
ous agitations of the present.

NEXT YEAR is NINETY SIX.

The big family fuss in the Demo-
cratic party of the State, with all the
riotous excuses incident to such dis
%turbances, may be of NO personal con-
Germ to us, yet it is very interesting,
animating and encouraging ever-
theless.
1t has drawn a broad line of demar-
cation between the honest and dishon-
est element, and it is quite easy to tell
who is who and which is which.
The honest Democrats, who can diff.
ferentiate between mem and tuum.
who have been taught to steal
and are therefore ignorant of this bril-
liant art, who have homely and old fash
toned ideas about political virtue and
fairness, have a right to be explosive
in their denunciations Of the Great
Wrong that disgraces the State. But,
on the other hand, the fusilade of
caustic epithets and burning expleti7es
that the T%urneyites are constantly
pouring into the reputable journals and
leaders of the party is wholly without
cause and without excuse. From
present indications, the dulcet strains
of the party harmonicon and the be-
%slavering rot of the time serving suppl
cant for peace and reunion for the
party's sake will be powerless to heal
the breach.
Next year will determine which shall
control the organization, 1.-THE honest
and reputable element" or the filth
reeking and crime saturated Tammany
Of the party. Without a restoration
of complete concord and fraternal re-
lations and a deep burial of all the
blood crusted claymores with which
the factions are fiercely slashing each
other, the party is hopelessly divided
and the lease of its existence practically
foreclosed.
II history repeats itself, the ina
sheen" will submit to no dictation mol
will it surrender to defeat. Its conceit
is that its place in the procession is in
the saddle, and there it will be if il
has to kill the rightful rider and craw
up by the stirrup straps. 1.-THE homes
and reputable element" can not afili
ate with the coal oil and ~penitentiary
gangs without self qualification ant
prone in the very dust retracting theii
sweeping arraignment of T%urneyism.
Next year is '96, and the Democrat,
party will be compelled to endorse o.
repudiate the disgraceful and infamouI
record of the last twelve months
Whichever horn of the dilemma it ma,
choose, the result is most likely to b.
the same. The hope of Tennessee
deliverance from the Democratic yok,
grows brighter every day. The swee
notes of the jubilee song of enamel
patton can be heard in the distance.

TENNESSEE IN HARD LUCK.

A State which is acting as badly as
the Democrats of Tennessee are doing,
with the view of upsetting the we'll as
certained results of a general election
and keeping in the executive office the
man who was beaten for the place,
does not deserve to be treated by Con-
gress with much consideration, yet it is
to be regretted that the proposed APP
preparation of $3.50 0 for the Nash.
vile exposition of 1896 should have
failed, or even be supposed to have fail
ed, because of Tennessee's unbecoming
behavior in the Turney-Evans contest.
Other objection to the measure must
have existed than to the establishment
Of what was regardel in some quarters
as the repetition of an unwise prece-
dent. There were unquestionably some
members of Congress whose prejudices
against the extraordinary conduct of
the Tennessee Democracy are so strong
and stubborn that nothing could in
duce them to vote so recreant a State a
legislative favor.
To the extent that the appropriation
owed its failure to opposition of this
character good citizens generally, ire.
spective Of politics, will be extremely
sorry, for the reason that the rebuke,
if so intended. falls where it is not de-
served. 1t may safely be assured that
the men who are busying themselves
the most in a revolutionary conspiracy
to cheat Mr.. Evans out of his election
are interesting themselves the least in
what oncerns the material prosperity
of the State.
These are not the men who are open,
ing up the mineral resources of Tennes
see-who work the mines and build the
furnaces, who develop the soil and uti
lize the water power, and who are con
~tributing freely Of their capital and en-
ergies and enterprise of the Common
wealth. Neither are they the men whC
do much for expositions, or care mucl
for their success, so long as Governor
ships and the patronage that goes there
with are to be stolen. Hence the los
of the 1925, 900 will be severely felt only
by those whose pride, loyalty and gooC
citizenship are thus unnecessarily
wounded. 1t is not men of this clas
who require to be disciplined. 1t is tn,
Democratic party of Tennessee tina
need to be dealt with, or such element
of that party as have committed them
selves to a colossal and criminal blum
der.
So far as the question of preceden
is in volved in this matter, it should Gu
no figure. OF course, the exposition
business, like the military park bust
ness, must have its limitations, but it

commercial centers of the countr
should have their expositions at prope
intervals and be complimented by tn
