quire protection against them. The
state has no duties to discharge in these
matters. Therefore it can require no
federal assistance" with respect to
them.
OF course, domestic violence often, as
in the recent riots, is directed against
both state and federal authority indis-
criminately, 30 that either or both may
suppress it. And in such cases the &C
tion of each in maintaining its own au-
thority over the subjects committed to it
tends to aid the other. But in such
cases each is acting in its own independ-
ent right as a sovereign government and
on its own behalf.
1t would be as absurd to claim that
the United States must neglect its own
interests because in protecting them
those of state may be incidentally pro-
tected. as to claim that state must let
riot run free because it happens to be
directed against federal rights or officers
as we'll as it's own. This would limit
and belittle the sovereignty Of both gov
ernments. Imperium and imperio would
be false.
According to Mr.. Bryan there is some
where implied in the constitution, for it
is nowhere expressed, a prohibition of
the use Of force by the United States
against persons who, within the limits
of state, may be successfully resisting
it's officers and completely paralyzing all
its operations as government, unless
the local authorities shall first make re-
request or give consent.
This is contrary to the settled primer
pie that while the federal government is
one whose operation is confined to GER
tain subjects, it has as to those subjects,
all the attributes of sovereignty, and one

WHY HARMON BOLTS.

have concluded to give the public an
answer to the many inquiries made OF
me upon subject OF great moment to
which general attention is now directed.
Mr.. Bryan in mis- letter accepting the
nomination for president by the conven-
ton at Chicago, amplifies the protest
which the convention made in its plat
form against federal interference in local
affairs, which strangely enough is not
found in the platform of the other two
conventions which have also nominated
him.
As nothing else has been done or pro-
posed to which they can possibly apply
these protests were intended and are I'M
derstood to be directed against the re-
cent action of the president in forcibly
suppressing riotous disorders which had
stopped the carriage of the mails and in
terstate commerce and were defying the
civil officers OF the United States.
The president took this action, not
only without the request, but in some
instances against the protest Of the au-

application OF the legislature or the ex
ecutive when the legislature cannot be
convened) against domestic violence"
This section plainly refers to the pro-
lection of the states against interference
with their authority, laws or property,
by domestic violence, and they are WISE
ly made the sole judges whether and
when they need such protection.
Mr.. Bryan betraysa consciousness Of
the limited operation of the provision
in the expression federal assistance" in
the clause have quoted.
But by the express terms of the con-
stitution, state has nothing to do with
the maintenance OF the authority or
the execution of the laws Of
the United States within the territory
of the state. The prevention and pun.
ishment Of offenses connected with the
mails, with interstate commerce and
with the administration of justice in the
federal courts, are committed to the gen.
eral government and to it alone. Such
offense in no wise menace the govern
ment Of the state in which they are com
mitted. Therefore the state cannot re-

occurred, and Mr.. Bryan, taking Section
4, Article ~. of the constitution to be
the law upon the subject, pledges him.
self against any repetition of the viola
tions thereof, (which his letter necessarily
charges.
He vindicates the wisdom Of the fran
ers of the law by declaring that local au-
thorities "arS better qualified than the
president to Judge OF the necessity
of the federal assistance"
This, in my judgment, is far more
serious matter than the money question
or any Of the other questions now before
the people, grave as they are. Our form
ofgovernment may survive wrong de
cision of those questions, and the peo-
pie may endure for time the evils which
result from false systems OF finance and
taxation, but the president has delib-
crafty disregarded the instrument up
on which the Union is founded, by sup
planting the authority OF a sovereign
state by armed force. precedent has
been made which threatens our form Of
government, while, if a candidate for
president properly pledges himself in ad-
vance as Mr.. Bryan has done, to do
nothing to protect the property, main

eminent which is not entirely free to
use force to protect and maintain its own

every state in tbs union republican

each of them against invasion; and, on

MR.. BRYAN DOES NOT TELL why.

New York Recorder: Mr.. Bryan has
now delivered about $50 speeches since
he was nominated for the presidency,
but he does not tell us
Why workingman should want dol
lar that will buy less goods at the stores
than the dollar they get paid in now.
Why farmers should kick against being
paid by England in gold for thor cotton
and wheat, and want to give England the
advantage of paying them in deprecated
silver dollars instead.
Why anybody will be better or worse
off, or why things will DO any different,
il free coinage makes an ounce OF silver
worth Sl29, just tho same rs one-six,
teenth of an ounce Of gold, all around
the world
Why debtors will be relieved in pay
ing in silver dollars actually worth, as
bullion, exactly the same as the present
gold dollar.
Why anybody will gain anything by
getting larger number Of dollars for the
same amount Of his own goods or labor
when it is certain that no would have to
give larger number OF them whenever
he bought goods or labor from anybody
else
Why it is that no free silver coinage
country has any gold in it's circulation,
il free coinage by one nation alone can
raise sixteen ounces OF silver to an equal
ity OF value with one ounce Of gold.
Why the gold standard countries have
more silver money in circulation per
capita than the silver standard coun-
tries, il free coinage is the sure road
to bimetellism.
Why free silver countries have far less
currency Of all kiuds per capita than
gold standard countries, il it is true that
free coinage makes an abundent circula-
ton.
Why the price Of silver in the open
market has gone down, down since 1872,
although the United States has added
$50O,000 900 worth OF silver money to it's
circulation at the ratio OF l6 to ! since
TINT date.-sixty times as much as it had
coined in the previous eighty years OF it's
history-if adding silver money freely to
the circulation Of this country alone will
keep up the whole worlds price for
silver.
Why the opening Of the mints OF this
country alone, with limited coming
capacity of not more than S50,0O0000
year, would create an UNLIMITED de-
mand" for silver-with all the other
minis OF the world closed and silver
pouring out Of the mines at the rate OF
s25O,000.0O0 worth year.
Why, il the government can make 53c.
worth Of bullion really worth, 100 cents
by stamping it as such. it can not make
10 cents worth OF silver do service for
the 30 cents worth and then make cent
worth do duty for the 10 cents worth.
Why, If the government can create and
increase real value by merely putting
larger price labels on things, we should
any Of us do any work at all.
Why, the farmer cannot put 2 grains
of wheat in pill box and label it 'one
bushel," or why the laborer cannot work
Is minutes and call it one day, Just as
easily and successfully as the silver mine
owner can put 53 cents worth OF metal
and AZ cents worth of imagination to
gether and pass it off on all the rest of US
for $1.0O.

Yesterday the wholesale and re-

by attachment.
Mr.. Hart came here from 'Cuth-
bert, Ga, some eighteen or twenty
years ago and started in the retail
grocery business on a small scale.
He prospered from the start, and
was able after a time to build a
brick store house, in which he is
now doing business, or was, up to
the time he was closed. He has
had various experiences in trade of
late years, and had moved his stock
from the East to the West side,
renting out his house to other par
ties. Recently he got possession OF
his business house and stocked up
again.
lie was regarded mere Dy ola Cltl-
zens as a safe business man, and his
failure was a surprise to the peo-
pie.
The attaching creditors are his
daughter, Mrs. Minnie Shuptrine,
for 81, 1880; W. W. Shuptrine, for
81, ,25O; Turner Bros, $674.59, and
! P. T. Norwood, 81, $50.

sell for enough to pay off this in

Hart is involved in debt, but it is
said that it will run up to
