The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1896-08-27

George w. Smalley, the famous
American editor.author, has been
granted a two months holiday by
his paper, the London Times, and
has gone abroad on a special mis-
sion for the Ladies' Home Journal
He has engaged to prepare short
series of articles for that magazine,
and is gathering the material for
them in Europe. The work will
necessitate his spending part of the
summer in England, and the re.
mainder in Germany.

arRlckEp AND puPEp."

The Memphis Commercial APP.
peal, the leading democratic paper
of Tennessee, throws, the following
hot shot: ~
"The time has come for the people
OF Tennessee to put on their war
paint. They have been tricked and
duped several times too often.
They must fight to restore the prin-
cipals of republican government,
which have been grossly disregard
ed in many instances"
IF the people are "tricked and
duped" again by Bob Taylor and il
he is elected governor there will be
no change in the policies of the
past in Tennessee. He says he
stands ready to endorse every dem
ocratlc administration in the state
during the past twenty years.
The question now is do the PEG
pie endorse Bob on such a plat
form? Will party prejudice ant
and the foolishness of a clown
cause the people to endorse the rot
tenss and dishonesty Of the demo
cratic administrations of the pas
twenty years? Will the people b.
l blinded to the miserable condition
of affairs in this "the worst govern
ed state in the Union ?'
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1896-08-27

If there is any class of political
shysters more disgustingly promi-
nent in these days of political in
trigue than another il is the leaders
of the populist party. They treat
their followers as so many cattle to
be bearded wherever wanted. If
the best trade in sight can be made
with democrats then they seek that
party. If with republicans they
seek them, If with neither then
they yoke up with the prohibition
lists. In short their motto is .sany-
thing to get there" Just how the
honest farmer, or mechanic, or
laboror can thus surrender his
manhood to a lot of professional
shisters under the guise of "party
leaders," is one of the strange
things in these days. Every one
of the populist leaders, local or
national, is a broken down, or
disappointed political hack, mad at
the party to which he originally
belonged because he failed therein
to get an otiice.-Athens Athenian.

THEN AND NOW .

EDITOR TIMES I'm speech in
1892, in tariff debate Bryan talk
ed sense, as follows:
"To the inventive genus that has
multiplied a thousand times, in
many instances, the strength of a
single arm, and enabled us to do to-
day with one man, what fifty men
could not do fifty years ago. That
is what brought prices down in this
country and everywhere"
Yet in 1896, he denies this by de-
claring that the fall in prices of
commodities is caused by the fall
in the price of silver.
Again; he did not always believe
that money is u creation of law
In a speech in Congress in 1903, he
recognized and declared the uni
versal law of supply and demand
in words as follows:
awhile the government can say
that q given weight of gold or sill.
yer shall constitute dollar, and
invest that dollar with legal tender
qualities, il cannot fix the purchas'
ing power of the dollar. That must
depend on the law of supply ant
demand"

trymen. One thinks of Lucifer

r. r, LIE e.

Every man in the county has
heard of 7. r.. Lee, Of FriendsviIle,
and no one has heard anything but
good spoken Of him. Slxty-one
years ago he was born in this coun-
ty and has always made his home
here. He has been merchant at
Friendsville during the past thirty
years and he is citizen of which
that town is especially proud. He
is Christian gentlemen and has
always taken great interest in Char
tiles. He is public spirited and
whenever anything was for the
public good he has always been
among hose who spend his time
and means in pushing it along
He has always been modest and
unassuming never having asked for
an Office, but at the same time he
has been an earnest and jealous
party worker. He has voted the
republican ticket from its first APP
pearance and has never wavered,
or been lukewarm in the support
of any Of its great principals. He
is great student and a man who
is well posted on legislative matters
and if he is Nominated to repre-
sent Blount in the next legislature
he will serve his people in very
satisfactory manner.
He is plain, common man, up
right and honest and the people
could be proud to point to him as
their representative.
You will see his announcement
elsewhere in this issue. The TIMES
c0mmends him to the republicans
of the county and should they see
fit to nominate him as their cadi.

Under democratic disagreement
the people of this state have paid
twenty millions of dollars in the
state treasury since 1888, yet we
have an enormous state debt and
an extra session of the legislature
has been called to provide money
enough to meet current expenses.
Bob Taylor says he is willing to
defend and endorse such a record.
DO YOU want such state of affairs

Our Candidate for Governor.

The nomination of Hon. George
N. Tillman, for governor, by the
republican convention held at
Nashville Thursday. is one that
will not be adversely criticised by
fair-minded men of any party. 1t
cannot be. Mr.. Tillman is man
of the very highest character. So
cially he is the equal of any man in
the state. Intellectually, he is a
man Of a very high order. He is
an able lawyer, and man whose
integrity has never been called in
question and will not be now. He
is a patriot, devoted to the welfare
of the nation and the state and is
endowed with all the qualities
necessary to constitute him wor-
thy accessor of the able men who
held the Office of governor in the
golden period of Tennessee's his
tory. Every one who knows him
we'll will bear witness to the fact
that the above is not eXtravant
praise but the exact truth plainly
told.
The republicans of the state have
good reason to congratulate them
selves upon having secured the SER
vices of such a man in such ca.
pacity. Among those who know
George N. Tillman, and he is wide.
ly known throughout the state, the
question of his fitness and qualfi'
cations will not be raised. He /:
not politician and did not seek
the Office of governor; he only con
scented when it became known tina
he was tht choice of a large major
ity of the delegates to the conven
ton. When it became known tina
he would accept his nomination
was the unanimous act of one o
the largest and most representativ,
republican conventions ever hell
in Tennessee. With the exception
Of a term in the lower house of tn,
general assembly he has never hell

that is generally democratic

There will be no occasion TO
apology or defense of Mr.. Tillman
as the republican nominee for gov
ernor. About forty-five years old
I born in the state and having livet
here all his life, his upright, blame

are we'll established. That he will
make an excellent governor is thu
belief of many democrats as wei
as of all republicans. If he SHOULD
receive the votes of all who believ'

make a model governor, he will b.
elected by an overwhelming ma
, jority.-Journal.

The people OF Tennessee are
taxed a million dollars a year for
criminal prosecutions. The Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, a demo-
cratic paper, says: aft all the
thieves in the state should be
turned loose for good they would
hardly be able to rob the people OF
a million dollars a year. 1t is just
such law as we have, with the con-
sequent administration of it which
encourages the birth of anarchy"

SENATOR STEWART.

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, the
Republican mine owner who has
become POpulist for Saint silver's
sake, and is one of the confidential
advisers of the Bryan National
Committee, has not always been q
free-silver coinage man. He sup
ported the act Of 1873 and in 1874
was gold bug Of the yellowest
hue. At that time, and, indeed,
for twelve years after the al
legged "crime" against silver in 1873,
the silver American dollar was
worth more than the gold dollar.
Senator Stewart could sell his sill
yer bullion for good profit during
all this time, and wonld not have
brought pound of it to the minis
had they been open for free and
unlimited coinage. He was, there
fore, not the eager free coinage adj
vocate he now is. In speech de-
livcred in the Senate on February
II, 1874, he declared boldly for the
gold standard. Here is an accurate
extract from the Record:
Mr.. Stewart-Let everybody
know what y dollar is worth. The
farmer will then know how to
measure the difference in price be-
tween his wheat in Illinois and the
wheat in Liverpool. The wheat
will be measured by the same
standard-gold-in Illinois rs it is
in Liv2rposl, and any man can
figure it up. But now it is q mys-
terry, the whole subject of finance is
q mystery, and what do we see
every day? We see those who de.
vote their attention to it making
large fortunes out of this mystery
Let us do as all the people of the
world have been doing from thu
