While General Buckner will never
make record as a vice president. he
has made record as a soldier and a
general. AT Fort Donaldson, it is told,
when General Buckner and General For
rest counseled on what should be done
when Grants army was closing in on
them, General Forrest remarked: II tell
you what I'm going to do; L am going to
get my men out of here" Forrest did
get his men out in safety and without
the least opposition. The student is re-
ferred to history as to what became of
Buckner and his men. There he will
learn that this Is not the first time the
general from Kentucky has surrendered
to the enemy where true men stood to
their coiors.

PElO IF
F'I(EE!''


The elimination of brazen effrontery
was fully reached when the Hannareh-
lists at Indianapolis soemnly declared
that the democratic party at Chicago in
it's platform had abandoned tariff re-
form, and to catch votes had made truce
with protection. Let every one read the
tariff plank of the platform itself and see
how little truth there is in this allega-
ton. The document expressly declares
for a tariff for revenue, with duties so
adjusted as to operate equally every
where in the country, without discrimi-
nations between classes or sections, and
that taxation must be limited to the
needs of the government economically
administered. 1t denounces the threat to
re-enact the Mckinley tariff as disturb
ing to business and brands that tariff as
twice condemned by the people in ma
tional elections, a prolific breeder of
trusts and monopolies, enrching the few
at the expense of the many, restricting
trade and depriving American producers
of access to their natural markets. The
miserable apostates who prefer this
charge of abandoning tariff reform
against the democratic party are them
selves doing all in their puny power to
bring about the election of Mckinley
and the revival of his highwayman's
tariff
