IEOMAS II. CARTER,
chairman Republican National Com.
mite Saws:

IN 1875 the Republican party will not
De found travelling on the back track
AS In the past, progress will be the
"atchword. The party will stand for
protection and the restoration of hi.
metallism on substantial and endur.
ing basis, There may be differepces
OF opinion in the party on the tariff
Scnedules, but not upon the principle
OF protection. There will be differences
Oh opinon as to the best course to pur.
sue to secure the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at n
liked ratio, but there will be difference
OF opinion as to the desirability of
bringing about the result.
upon one great question there will
De neither difference of opinion as to
the general principle involved nor as
to the meens to be employed. That ia
with reference to the restoration of a
vigorous, thoroughly American for.
eign policy.
AT the close of the last Republ lean
administration our goods, wares and
merchandise entered every port in
Christendom unburdened by unjust
Determinations, and to the extent that
reciprocity treaties had been negotia.
ted, our merchantmen entered foreign
ports under arrangements especially
favorable.
BY virtue of the weak, un American.
vacillating, and in many regards hu.
initiating methods of the administra-
tlon, this great Republic, which is, and
ofright ought to be, the greatest domi-
mating influence of this hempishere.
has drifted into the absurd condition of
appearing everywhere to no better ad.
vantage than the little republic of Ha-
waii. The Monroe doctrine must be
rescued from the domain of sentiment
and vitalized and developed into liv.
ing, actual governmental policy. We
owe it to civilization to discharge the
duties as nation which our advance
ment in science, art, literature and
government devolve upon us.
The press and people of the country
will demand that the vigorous and en-.
lightened American policy inaugurated
between 1889 and 1893 shall be restored.
The navy must be increased, the mer.
chant marine reestablished, the Niaca-
raugua Canal constructed, Hawaii
brought under the Jurisdiction of the
United States, and coaling stations ac-
qnired wherever practicable between
the Atlantic coast by way of Cape Horn
and around Halifax.
The trade of South America will, un.
der the inspiration of such policy, be
largely directed to this country, to the
mutual advantage of our own people
and the people of South America.
l am persuaded that the Republican
National Convention will pledge the
party anew and with great earnestness
and force to this line of foreign policy.
The people demand it. They are con-
scious of their strength, and they rea-
lize that this Republic can no longer
be referred to as merely.a nation. They
know that it has become and is ma
ton.

Good Health

With the loss of appetite, the system

rilla testify to its great merits as a
purifier of the blood, its powers to re-
store and sharpen the appetite and pro-

tells the story and constitutes the

VillainOus Hypocrisy.

The action of the de facto Governor
by which the bill passed the legislature
at Its recent session, looking to the re.
duction of the price of school books
failed, has called to the rottenness only
second to that developed in connection
with the proposed new penitentiary
building. The bill was introduced by
Senator W. F. McCarron, of McMinn
county, and passed the Senate with
only single dissenting vote. 1t passed
the House by large majority, but
reached the de facto Governor only n
few hours before the final adjourn
ment. He was persuaded by his dis
graced Superintendent of Public In
struction not to sign it, and it failed to
become law. Senator McCarron has
given the subject careful attention and
ne estimates that under its provisions.
the saving of the people to the State
who buy school books, would have
been S12S,OOO annually. That sluggar
Smith opposed it in the interest of the
school book trnst, there is no doubt.
and it is believed, that the considera-
ton was peculiar one. 1t is believed
by many that the trust contributed,
through Smith, to the Turney cam
paign fund last year and this accounts
for the defeat of the measure in the
way in which it came about.
Senator McCarron in his paper. the
Athens Athenian, shows the difference
in the cost of school books in Tenn es.
see and some other State very fully.
For instance, in West Virginia, SPELL
ing books that cost ten cents are sold
in Tennessee for twenty cents; first
readers the same; second readers that
are thirty five cents in Tennessee are
sold there for eighteen cents; and Uni
ted States histories that are sold there
for 90 cents cost here 81 90. This is
about the proportion all the way thro, ,
according to the figures of Senator Nc
Carron for the correctness of which he
vouches. And upon this he figures
that under the provisions of his bill the
school children Of the State would have
been saved the handsome sum of S123.-
900 annually. If this is true, then the
de facto Governor, under the advice of
his Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, the school book trust has made
$12S,OO0 annually.
This is most serious matter. The
cost of school books is a very heavy
tax upon the poor people of the State.
There are hundreds of people in Knox
vile and thousands throughout the
State, who can not afford to send their
children to the common schools be-
cause of the expense of buying books.
The arch hypocrite who holds the
stolen office of Governor, with the
cheek of the devil himself, has claimed
that his motive for the rigid enforce
ment OF the poll tax law, was to secure
funds for the benefit of the public
schools. And now he deliberately
turns over the sum Of $123,00O every
year to the rich school book trust,
which amount comes out of the pock-
cts OF the parents of school children,
and burdens them with expense which
actually prohibits many of them from
receiving the benefits of the common
schools of the State. Ranker hypocrisy
and more infamous rascality can not
we'll be imagined. Knoxville Journal.

CHAPTER vi.

We now draw near to critical era
in the annals of East Tennessee; and to
legislative proceeding which seemed
at the time of its birth to be harmless
in itself, but which, upon experiment,
unexpectedly proved to be the source
of great disasters and alarms, as we'll
to our neighbors as to the parties who
were more Immediately concerned.
Congress, harrassed with public debt,
and the clamor Of public creditors,
had thought of many expedients for
bringing money into their Golfers; and
one amongst others, was pressing and
repeated recommendations to States
owning vacant lands, to throw them
into the common stock, for defraying
the expenses OF the late war. The As.
sembly of North Carolina, during their
April session at Hillsboro, in the year
1854, participating in the distress which
Congress experienced on account of
the financial embarrassments of the
union, made considerable exertions to
remove them. They laid taxes and
empowered Congress to collect them
and vested in Congress so far as they
were concerned, power to levy a
duty on foreign merchandise. Partly
from the same motives, as we'll as from
Others they, in the month Of May,

self and is always the center of attrac

One of the groups represents the
manger of Bethlehem with the Christ
child, the mother Mary and the wise
men and the shepherds and locks. In
fact all are so fine that one is no less
worthy of mention than the others
All are excellent and the beautiful
