They say: admitting lower prices,
farmers can buy everything as cheap
AS they have to sell their property for,
so who's hurt?"
The answer is this: You sell your
wheat-the farmers you depend upon
for trade sell their wheat for SO cents;
it is true they can go aud buy calico
and cotton goods and many other
things proportlonately as cheap as
they sell their property. Manufactor-
les are being broken up all over the
country by reason of those falling
prices; less labor is employed for the
consumption of those products as a
result of 1t, but still they can go and
buy calico and cotton goods, 1t Is true,
but here is what they cannot do: They
can't go and pay their taxes with the
same number of bushels Of wheat
that they did in 1873; it takes from
two to three times as much OF their
wheat and other products. They can't

mean you pay as much in dollars; you

AN IOWA MURDER CASE.

There is ON trial at Des Moines
one S. r. Dawson, who killed his SON
in-law Walter Scott, on Christmas
eve, an hour after he was married to
his daughter, Clara Dawson.
The romance which led to the Kill
ing of young Scott and the destruction
of two families is so complicated and
so extended that volume Is required
for It's proper elucidation. The actual
facts of Scott's relations primarily TO
Miss Dawson are the father charged
that Scott was bent upon destroy
ing the girl morally, while he, in his
life time, stoutly maintained that his
intentions toward her were absolutely
honorable. He proved it in pract-
zeal and indisputable way when he
married the girl at the first oppor-
tunlty which presented itself, or
which could be created. He had at
tempted, also, to marry her on several
different preceding occasions.
Miss Dawson abandoned her home
but was put in the asylum for the in
sane. She returned after time under
pledge to abandon Scott, who was a
handsome young fellow and a promi-
nent business man. But she soon
succumbed to his influences, and
various attempts at elopement were
planned. Her father tried again to
incarcerate her in an asylum. The
intention, II Dawson ever had it was
abandoned, and the girl again con-
sented to give Scott up. She was
very courageous and fixed, appar-
emily, In her purpose to give him up
and told him so to his face. -Four or
FIVE days later she escaped from her
mothers watch aud went with Scott
to the justices office where they were
married. An hour later her husband
was dead by the hand of her father,
who is in Jail.
Three months later Dawson is put
on trial for the murder of his son-in-
law OF an hour. His daughter, the
widow of the dead man, is the princi,
pal witness against her own father
who killed her husband.

THE BROWN FARCE ENDS.

Chas. o. Brown has at last been
forced to give up his connection with
the First Congregational church of
Frisco. A resignation was forced
out of him and accepted, but he
fought to the last and was voted
down, defeated by main strength. The
Chronicle says:
"The meeting was remarkable even
for the First Congregational church
In casualties. Old women of 80, were
brought in hacks and almost carried
through the crowd to vote for Dr.
Brown. Invallds, supposed to be bed
ridden were present. Mrs. Vascon
cellos made her first public appearance
In months. Once inside, DR.. Brown
separated his flock, putting the sheer
on one side and the goats on the other
This was to facilitate voting. At the
suggestion some neutral members left
In disgust DR.. Brown challenged Q
few votes, but when the opposition
asked for a roll call the request was
denied"
Brown tries tomake IL appear that
he is wanted In Iowa, but that is a
mistake. He was pastor of the first
church Of Dubuque before going Il
Tacoma. His charge of plagiarism
against Rev. Mr.. Mott, of the rival
church, the Second Presbyterian, his
attacks ON the Catholics and his at
tempt to bring up the prohibition
question to the front were unpopular
outside Of his church and were per
haps regretted by some within, though
he retained many warm friends
among them.
The resolutions adopted there are
taken to indicate sympathy with
him rather than any intention Of
bringing him back to his old church
the only important one in the Dubu
que association.

UNITED sUNDAY-scHooL WORK

A union or federation Of all the
Protestant churches in America has
often been proposed, but no such
union exists, or is likely to be formed
at least for years TO come. The Sun
day-schools, however, representing all
the churches and over one-sixth Of the
entire population of the country,
have been organized for nearly forty
years, and the organization is increas-
ing in strength every year. Sixty
states, territories and Canadian prov
inces are organized, with an annual
convention, a board of officers, and
auxiliary associations in the counties
and townships. An international
convention is held every three years,
to which each Of the sixty states and
provinces sends a delegation.
The international Executive Com
mittee, Of Chicago, keeps a force of
secretaries in the field, attending con-
yentlons and working for the exten.
sion and improvement of the Sunday
schools.
The lesson committee chooses the
so-called international lessons, which
are studied in nearly all the l4O, 900
Sunday-schools Of the United States
and Canada.
The eighth international Sunday
school convention is to meet in Bos-
ton this year, June % to 20, and a
Worlds convention will be called to
meet next July in London.

THIS is HORRIBLE.

Ia Alabama the Republican and
Popullst state conventions met the
same day, adopted resolutions and
fused on state ticket, putting up SEN
ator Goodwin, Pop, for Governor, and
dividing the other offices. Tie fu-
sion basis was as follows:
"That the conventions of the Peo-
ple's party and Of the Republican
party assembled at Montgomery shall
enunclate their principles In their
platforms and shall seek, II possible,

will IN no instance violate the dis

THE COUNTY PRIMARY

In the excitement incident to the
struggle for the Congressional nomina-
ton, the Republican voters should not
neglect their duty on the 4th of April.
On that day the fate of the candidates
for the county offices is to be decided at
the ballot box. 1t is fortunate that all
of these aspiring gentlemen are clean,
decent, qualified, and deserving the pub
lie confidence. And what is to their
credit they are all making a decent and
honorable canvass, indulging in no
ordinations, and basing their claim to
public support solely on their integrity,
sound and sturdy Republicanism, and
their ability to serve the people with fl
deity and efficiency, We have no idea
as to the relative strength of these can
didates, and whilst we have heard many
expressions favorable to each n Of
them, we have never heard a word de-
rogatory to any candidate. This signi-
ties that the aspirants selected will be
entirely satisfactory to the party and
receive its solid vote.
AS so We will go into the contest to be
settled in August with an unbroken
column that will be maintained intact
from start to finish.

From johnson County.

Editor Herald and Tribune-I have never
been a correspondent of the newspapers.
and would not try to write a letter for pub
ilcation now were it not for the purpose of
correcting a big falsehood, and in what |
write, shall endeavor TO tell the straight
truth, and l believe my neighbors and
friends here will say 1t is truth should IL
come under their eyes.
a copy OF the MorristOwn Republican fell
INTO my hands a few days ago, and in IL |
noticed a letter from this county which
stated that Milburn would carry the dsy in
This county, and that the "PRIVATESn
were coming 10 him many hundreds strong.

intentionally told. Milburn has never had
any votes to amount TO anything in this

have asked the opinion of a number of
well informed men from different parts If
the county about Milburn's vote, and IT, is
the opinion of all of them that there are not
lOo votes here for him. This is the Gods
truth. If the old soldiers are for him the
people want to know why he did not ap-
point one of them to represent him here.
There are many good men among the old
veterans.
But we are not for him, we are for Brown
low. We know who is our friend. We know
who got our Medical Board here to save us
the long trips to be examined. We know
Brownlow is the right man to have in Con-
gress, that he could and would do more for
the people than both of the other candi-
dates, and we are for him first, last and all
the time. Put johnson County down for
Brownlow. He will get it certain. The peo-
pie are for him. OLD SOLDIER.

WHAT THEY SAY.
BrOwnlOw on the Rise.

BLooMINGDALE, TENN, March II, 96.-
Brownlow and Milburn spoke here YES
terday, they are the leading talk ofthe
day. Brownlow is on gaining grounds,
men who were for Milburn, are now for
Brownlow.
The people generally like self made
men and men Of ability, they want good
laws and good times, and in order to have
good times, we must elect shrewd men
who will fearlessly sustain the people
in their wants. Brownlow's thesis can
not be overthrow.
While he spoke for the interest of the
people and desiring the promotion to
that honorable position Of Congress, he
manifested no i'll feelings nor words
against Hon. w. c. Anderson and is
credited highly for his fraternal sympa-
thy with the ldsoldier, Milburn throws
great stress upon his services in tho
army and asked the people why they
would let Brownlow ride him to the
pearly gates, bnt hitch him on the out
side. We say because Walter is most
able to ride and to represent us in the
halls of Congress. REV. 5. A. SLAGLE.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1896-03-25
THE THING MOST DREADED.

The chief reason that Brownlow's enc
mics are fighting him with such desper-
alton is that they know il he Is once
elected to Congress that they will be
utterly powerless to dislodge him. They
imagine that Brownlow is as selfish and
greedy as MISUNDERSTANDING once got
ten hold Of a fat job he will hold on to
it with a tenacity of grip that death
alone can relax. The truth is that
Browulow, if elected, will serve the peo-
pie of this district with signal efficiency
and unwearied fidelity, and will make
friends instead Of losing them. BY a
strict attention to his business and by
an impartial treatment of all his consti-
tuents who may call upon him for as
sistance, he will attract a support that
he does not now command. His enemies
know these facts as well as anybody
else, and hence their fierce and unre-
lenting opposition. If they can not de-
feat now, it would be worse than folly
not ever good nonsense-to attempt it
in the future. The crisis has been reach
ed in their estimation. If this primary
election proves a Marathon of victory
to Brownlow,i it will only be a Sedan Of
defeat to Anderson, q Waterloo Of dis
aster to Milburn, but nobody else "need
apply" until Brownlow is padded and
gorged with official fat. So they think
Brownlow, if elected this time, will feel
inclined to serve the people as long as
they demand his services we have no
doubt, but that he will have any aspira-
ton of becoming a ~"fxity" in Cong Tess
to the exclusion of other deserving and
competent men we dismiss as absurd in
the extreme. Under our present method
of selecting Congressional nominees the
people have the whole matter IN their
own hands, and We must be satisfied
with and controlled by the fiat of the
party's aggregated wisdom.

Carter County For BrOwnlOw.
WArAUGA VALLEY, TENN,

March Is, 1896. I
EDITOR HERALD AND RRIBUNE: I
have made it a point to inquire as to the
choice OF the veterans Of the three Stony
Creek Districts and find III of the first
twenty six voters | met fifteen were for
Brownlow, ten for Anderson and only
one FOR Milburn, so at this rate Brown
low will carry the three Stony Creek Dis
tricts over both OF his competitors.
If Brownlow Is as strong in the other
districts Of Carter Comfy as he is in
the above, he will certainly carry old
loyal Carter by a safe plurality. l
understand Upper Elk and Fish Springs
Districts OF this county are almost solid
for Brownlow.
| was in Johnson County not long
since and nearly every one ] saw was
for Brownlow. He will get more votes
in johnson County than both of his
competitors. Nearly everybody over
there is for Brownlow. Brownlow has
been making heavy gains in Carter
county, for the last ten days. 1t was
claimed by the Anderson men ten DAYS
ago, but | don't hear many men claim
ing 1t for him now. In fact every
one comedies it to Brownlow.
Whoop the boys up for Walter in

only be a harassing encumbrance and
responsibility, which he would avoid
rather than seek.
With a full knowledge of these un-
questionable facts there is a certain set
of envious and jealous malignants,
whose own hopes have withered never
to rebloom, affecting a monopoly of So
licitude and love for the soldier, who are
opposing, reviling and villifying Brown
low, and although they have so mastered
the subtle art of n c~ostless sympathy
that they can weep copious tears over
the hallowed memory Of the dead sol
dier on a moments notice, they were
never known to do q living soldier n
kind act without the pay, nor would
they give him a nickle If he and his de-
pendents were without shelter, raiment
and food, and were shivering cold, naked
and hungry in the winhtry blast.

Brownlow and the people at large of the
District for not at once, favoring so reason
able, so just, and so humane an order.
By the way, is the type of that letter dis
tributed? If not publish 1t again; but not
as you have, In close form, but loaded or
double loaded the better, If you have the
material; and let 1t reach the eye of every
voter In the District, If possible, and will
add this, ifa careful reading of it does not
induce Milburn and Anderson to cast pri-
mary votes for BrownloN, it certainly will
or ought to call forth enthusiastic votes for
him from them in November next.

largest and c%leanest yeast factory in
the world, their sales averaging twenty
tons daily and it goes to all parts of
the world and in all probability has
more friends among the ladies than
any other article manufactured in this
or any other country and was the only
yeast awarded "a diploma and medal
for purity and excellence at the great
Chicago Worlds Fair. If more of our
reople would use this yeast and eat
bread from one 10 four days old their
doctor bills would be much less. Give
it a trial.
