Ed. Herald and Tribune-Since my last
letter TO your paper from Blountvi!le have
Travelled over several of the districts in the
lower end of this county, where Milburn ex-
poets TO get his large vote, and tell YOU
now That he Is not in IL. The only district
that he will carry in sullivan is the 10th and
that by a much reduced majority from pre-
Vious calculations. There has been and Is
today n steady gain going on IN favor of
BrOwnlOw. 1t can't he checked. 1t is not
spasmOdic, but is the result Of carefully
comparing the merits of the candidates, and
such decisions, after such mature dpli6rra-
ton Is Interchangeable. Anderson will get n
small vote in this part of the country; in
fact BrOwnlow will get a good majority over
both his competitors. Col. Clark, the lead
ing Milburn man here, frankly said to me
today that Milburn was weaker today than
ten days ago and SO tar as this county was
concerned he was leading "A forlOrn hope.
All Is well here. One week from today the
will of the people will be expressed at the
polls. We do not fear the result. w. +.
BrOwnlow will be nominated and in Nov.
Will be given the largest vote ever pulled by
a Republican candidate in the First Con.
greSSiOnal District. sullivan will give him
from $50 to $40 majority in primary, II out

him 1000 voters. Mckinley for President,

REPUBLICANS throughout the whole
country have their gaze fixed upon this
District. They desire the nomination of
Brownlow. You have assured them that
he will be nominated. Do not disaI-

duty and nothing but your duty, and
then you can read them the glad tidings
of great joy.

to work on full time; operations in trade
or manufacture that had been suspended or
postponed are about to be taken up again
money that had been locked up tight is
coming to the front for investment, and
men who put it off until after the cleo
ton" every form of enterprise that was not
absolutely necessary to their business, are
no longer in the dumps.
The main thing for congratulation is the
prevalence of the feeling OF security and
cheerfulness 1t is that which makes bus
mess after such season of anxiety and
suspense as that which the country has Just
emerged from like man long puzzled to
find his way out of the woods and behold
ing at last the open daylight ahead of him.
There is no longer reasonable excuse
why any man who has capital to invest,
who has business which he has been anX-
ious to extend or who sees an ''opening''
for a profitable piece of enterprise should
not now get ready to 90 ahead.
1t is from this sense of assured safety
that we may look for solid revival OF
trade and industry all along the line OF

THE BREAK IN THE SOLID SOUTH

For the first time in twenty years at a
Presidential election the Democrats have
failed to hold together the Southern States.
They have lost Maryland with 81, 900 ma
iority against Them West Virginia with
$4,000 majority, and Kentucky with 900.
They have also been forced to fight hard
for Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina.
Never before has there been more favor
able opportunity than will present itself to
the new administration on the 4th of March
next to spread Republican principles in the
South and to extend this break.
The time is at hand when the friends of
protection and sound money will be able
to make an effective appeal to the enlight-
ened self-inteIest of the South now that
the old sectional barriers have been partly
broken down.
The President-elect in his letter OF ac-
ceptance of the st. Louis nomination ad.
dressed some of his most eloquent words
to the South, and his administration will
doubtless be organized with the end oil
holding what has been gained there and Of
making new converts elsewhere to the
broad American principles which he repre-
sents.

a PATRIOTIC VIEW,

There is q marked absence of Republi-
can partizanship in both the words and the
spirit of the views that have been expressed
by the President elect and Vice President
elect since the election, although both men
in times past have been stout and strenuous
partiZaDs.
Mr.. Hobart in explaining the causes of
the election said on Thursday:
at is the triumph Of American patriot
ism and it belongs to no party. In thous-
ands upon thousands of cases, voters have
abjured their past political creeds and aihl-
iations and voted as their consciences di-
rected for the supremacy of law and order
and to maintain the national honor"
Major Mckinley in an open letter to
Chairman Hanna looked at the situation
with similar breadth of view, saying:
"Thc people in their majesty, ignoring
party lines have declared their detesta.
ton of population and dishonor in
whatever specious guise they may be
presented. They have indeed again con.
secrated themselves to country and bap
tized the cherished ordinances OF free gov.
eminent with a new and holy patriotism
The victory is not to party or section, but
to the whole American people "
The candidates have thus GRACEFUL,
taken into recognition the services of tn,
large number of Democrats who came t,
the rescue of the sound money cause.
Such an occasion is both unusual ant
significant. 1t may have some effect il
bringing to the new administration tn,
permanent support of many of these pa
triGtic voters,

REVISING THE TARIFF.

All the Republican leaders who have thus
policy OF the administration, point out the
necessity OF an extra session next spring
in order that the tariff and revenue ques-
tions may be disposed of at an early day,
both because of the imperative needs Of the
Treasury, and of the wisdom uf giving bust
ness men chart which they may sail by in
the future.
1t is noticeable, however, that the APP
parent disposition of the party leaders is to
deal with the tariff in the spirit of mod
crate revision to the end of raising revenue
sufficient for the Treasury and of giving
labor just measure of protection. There
is no demand from them for the restoration
of the tariff to the schedules of 1890 unless
where the necessity for such change is
clearly warranted by the conditions of the
labor market.
Chairman Hanna, in forcasting the tariff
policy of President Mckinley, has quoted
Mckinley's Lincoln story, that a mans leg
ought to be just long enough to reach the
ground, as well Us his declaration that it
was not schedules, but the principle of
protection, that the country should restore
to the tariff
Senator Sherman, in an interview pub
lished yesterday, expressed the belief that
the Wilson bill should be overhauled be-
cause of its wellknown and admitted in
CAPABILITIES and ncongruities, and the ad-
valorem system taken out of the tariff.
''The rates of duty should be so fixed, ~
he said, las to provide all the revenue
needed for the proper conduct of the govern
ment, and also to afford a reasonable pro-
lection to those American industries that
come in competition with foreign institu-
tions. Mr.. S1~rman placed particular
emphasis On the word reasonable
Representative John Dalzell, the most
earnest and ablest champion of Protection
in the Ways and Means Committee, like
wise discourages the issue of an extreme or
reactionary tariff Mr.. Dalzell says:
"The next Congress will make changes
in the tariff, but there will be no radical
revision which will disturb confidence in
the business world. There are many in
justices and inequalities in the Wilson bill
which must be remedied, but l have no
doubt, when a new tariff measure is drawn
up, that many of the items in the Wilson
law will be retained. The Republican
party in its platform has always been op-
posed to ad valorem duties; all such in the
Wilson law will be changed to specific
duties"
These views may be said to represent
fairly the prevailing opinion in the Repub-
lican party as to what should be done in
the revision of the tariff. The work should
be done promptly and thoroughly along
these lines to the end of avoiding another
prolonged season of tariff agitation in the
next Congress as we'll as fresh disturbance
of business There is little reason to doubt
that the Mckinley administration will APP
proach the subject with full recognition
of this sentiment, and that tariff revision
will be conducted on careful and moder-
ate basis, rather than in the direction of
another radical change from top to bottom.

GOING BACK TO WORK.

A New York paper estimates that the
number of men throughout the country
to whom employment has been given by
the mills, factories and other industrial
establishments which, since election day,
have made preparations for opening their
doors or enlarging their capacity is about
10000.
The estimate is probably not exagger-
ated. A Philadelphia daily partly confirms
it by summary of the similar reports by
telegraph on Saturday, when not fewer
than II 900 men were found to be included
in the number of those to whom employ
ment had been or would be given.
Some of the same cheering conditions
have been noted among Philadelphia
great hives of industry in the Kensington
district where not long ago hundreds of
families in want of the necessaries of life
were stretching out their hands for help
The churches and the charity organiza-
tons which have been looking after the
wants of these unfortunates now report
that the number has very much fallen off,
and they expect to bring their operations
to a close this month, simply because there
will be no further pressing need of them.
The indications are that before winter
has fairly set, in most of the Philadelphia
mills will be hummng again with their
old time music.

THE manifesto of the silver candidate
for the Presidency to his follwers contain.
little that he has not said time and agar
in his speeches.
''Let US keep up the fight for free coin
age, wait for 1900, and nominate me again
is the substance of this document when
boiled down.
With four years of good times, however,
there will be no room left for any more
agitation on that line. The further away
we get from the period of depression and
panics, the further away will we get also
from the popular discomfort which has
bred silverites.
Protection, good revenue act and fair
prices for what we produce will make free
coinage dead issue before 1900.

The people have repudiated everywhere
and with the utmost indignation and con-
tempt the idea that because man may
have voted and acted with particular
party, and called himself by the name of
that party, he, therefore, has lost all right
of private Judgment, all freedom of indi-
vidual action, all responsibility for his own
political opinions and acts, but is bound,
at the risk of being called traitor" "a
limping, contemplate, cowardly fellow"
in servile obedience to the DEGREES of the
national convention of his party. Tuesday
witnessed the emancipation of some mil
lions of American freemen from the
shackles OF party slavery. Patriotism,
common sense and common honesty were
recognized as possessing superior claims to
the consideration of the voter over the
party whip and the appeals of the boss
pleading for regularity Those shacllles
will never again he riveted and felt to any
| thing like the extent that has existed here
tofore. A moral revolution has taken place,
and the independent voter has become a
power in politics whom party managers
and machine politicians can no longer
afford to leave out of their calculations
This, perhaps, even more than the rebuke
given to false and dangerous theorists of
money and finance, is the great lesson of
TUESDAYS election Machine politics and
false ideas of the binding and moral obiga-
tions of party regularity" have received a
blow from which they will not soon or
easily recover.

Sick-poison is poison which makes you
sick. 1t comes from the stomach. The
stomach makes it out of undigested food.
The blood gets it and taints the whole body

The way to be rid of it is to look after your
digestion.
If your food is all properly digested, there
will be none left in the stomach to make sick
poison out Of
If your stomach is too weak to see to this
properly by itself, help it along with few
doses of Shaker Digestive Cordial.
That's the cure of it.

If anybody is still interested in the
bullion value of the silver dollar he can
figure it out for himself at any time by
simply dividing the quoted market price
per ounce by $1,000, which is the mint
coming value. Thus, when silver is quoted
at G5 cents an ounce, dividing that figure
by $l.2929 shows that the value of the
dollar is 30 66-1OO cents.

CALCULATIONS over the triumph of the sound
