The protective tariff policy has been
gaining friends recently. The ques.
ton of national finances has been the
subject most generally considered by
the present congress, but the tariff has
come in as ,incidental. The friends of
free coinage have developed power
worthy of recognition and the leaders
in that course have expressed favor for
protection to American industries. 1t
has been charged that the free coinage
people opposed the idea of protection,
hut they have asserted recently that
some important products of the coun.
try were not placed high enough in
the pronosed bills. The populists have
made expressions through the oracles
Of the party that they. too, will favor a
protective tariff in conjunction with
free silver. In fact. the two ideas
seem to be inseperable. At least there
can be no protection for American in.
dustries as long as We maintain gold
standard. The cheap labor which
comes in competitor with our pr0duc.
ers in paid silver. AS long a. other

products of that silver.

SATURDAY SALAD.

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IL DUE,
In it's issue of last Saturday the New
MEXICAN reproduced extracts from an e1-
ceedingly entertaining letter written by
Mrs. Martha B. johnson, lately visitor
in this city, to the Des Molnes Iowa)
Mail and Times. The extract as repro
duced closed with these words: CAS- re-
result of the residence here of Mrs. Judge
Seeds, of Manchester, Ia, Santa Fe has a
federated woman's club, and the president
and leading spirit of the Woman's Board
of Trade is Mrs. Ida Bacon Rivenburg,
formerly of Iowa City, and capable and
gifted woman"
1t seems that the words quoted have
been interpreted by some to mean that
Mrs. Seeds was the founder of the
Woman's Board of Trade. The writer evil
IDENTIFY did not mean to be 80 understood.
She doubtless alluded to the fact that
Mrs. Seeds was one of the founders and
the first president of the Fifteen club of
this city, which was the first organization
of the kind in New Mexico to join the
national federation of woman's clubs.
Since then the Woman's Board of Trade,
which was organized on July 8, 1892, has
also Joined the federation. OF this or
ganization Mrs. E. L. Bartlett was the
prime mover, inspiring genius, aud the
first president, and to her much of the
credit is due for what the board is to-
day--a credit to the city and the pride of
every progressive citizen.

JAMES NEELY. Jk. DEAD.

James Jackson Nicely, Jr.,
was born in Bolivar, Tenn.
July 5, 1866, died in a Hos
pital at New Orleans, April
IL, 1896, of spinal sclerosis.
Deceased was the youngest
son of the late Col. J. J..
Nicely. His entire life, with
the exception OF about seven
years, was spent in Bolivar.
In 1889, he went to Cali
fornia, where he met with an
accident, which injured his
spinal column, from the eff
fects of which he never re-
covered. In 1895, he re-
turned home, and suffered
continually up to the time of
his death. Three weeks ago
he decided to enter the Hos
pital at New Orleans, hoping
to be benefited; but he had
passed the point where the
physicians skill could give
relief. His remains were
brought home Sunday even
ing. Monday morning his
funeral services were con
Quoted from the Episcopal
Church, Rev. G. S. Ware
officiating. The building
was filled with the friends of
the deceased. His remains
were inferred in Polk Gene
terry. The grave was COM
pletely covered with floral of
ferings.
James Nicely was a brave,
generous-hearted, affection
ate and bright young man.
The people OF Bolivar, all
of whom were his friends, ex-
tend sincere and genuine
sympathy to the heart-broken
mother and to his devoted
brother and sister.

is that free coinage would
cause the use of both gold
and silver as the standard.
But as history so clearly
proves that when there was a
difference between the mar
ket and legal ratio, the dear
er metal invariably receded
from circulation, the Com
mercial Appeal, the leading
free silver journal of the
state, seems to be n5w enga-
ged in the ardnous underta-
king of changing the defini-
ton of the word bimetalism
and give it the meaning of
mOnometalism. But the
people are not so stepped in
Ignorance as to be unable to
comprehend that if either
gold or silver leaves a
country it could still enjoy
the use of both metals
as the standard. The sale
of bonds prevented this coun-
try from going to a silver
basis, and as the nations
which have gold as their stan
dard have a greater per
capita circulation than those
which have silver as their
standard, it is evident that
the sale ofbonds prevented a
decrease in the volume of
our currency.
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1896-04-17

WONDER if the principal
opposition to Col. Patterson
can not be attributed to pat
ronage more than to any love
of free silver? That Col.
Patterson has discharged his
duties faithfully aud honest-
ly to the best of his ability,
and that he was lenient with
those who differed with him
in the debates on the curren-
cy question, no man can dis
pute or deny. But it was
impossible for the Colonel t.
secure a position for every
applicant, and 'there's the
rub. Some of these disap-
pointed office-seekers, who
are bowling for free silver,
do not know or care what eff
feet the policy they advocate
will have upon the country.
They are simply mad because
they failed to get their hands
into the public crib, and they
never lose an opportunity to
censure a democratic adj
ministration and all who
uphold it. These disap-
pointed politicians seek
not the welfare and prosperi-
ty of the country---their
chief and only desire is to
feather their own nests. The
people of Bolivar and of Har-
deman County are acquaint-I
ed with some OF these would |
be pap-suckers and disap-
pointed office seekers, who
are now attempting to pose
as ''saviors of the country un-
der the garb of free silver"
They are known and their
method is understood, hence
40 attention is paid to the
bitter denunciation that en-
,nates from them.

T. i. Prewitt, J. R. Black.
A. J. Coates and J. A. Will
son, a committee appointed
at the last term of quarterly
court to investigate the
claims of E. M. Hooper and
his deputies and that of J.
K. SWeeton for assessment OF
taxes from 1891 TO 1895 in
elusive, report amount due
+. NJ. Hooper for 1891, $31 .83
and for 1892 the sum of
S139.82, making a total of
S171.65 for both years. The
committee further reports
that the county for 1891 is
due the following amounts to
those who acted in the ca
pacity OF deputy assessors for
Il. M. Hooper: j. L. Foote,
$E62; j. B. Foote, 1912;
[. L. Hooper, IS. so; W. Y.
Murphy, So. 20; and w. T. F.
Thompson, 81. go. The COM
mittee decided that the coun-
ty is due w. T. Hooper
$1,000 and w. A. Moore
Sll.lO for assessing as depu-
ties off. NJ. Hooper for the
year 1892. For the year
1898 it was agreed that j.
r. Sweeton is entitled to
500. Ii and for 1894 $77.55.
These are additional amounts
which it is decided are due
by the county to the parties
mentioned by different con-
struction of the assessment
law relative to the fees for
assessing. W. w. Farley's
construction was that asses
sols should be allowed 10 of
a mill on the property as
sessed, but the court
decided that under the law
assessors are entitled to Ia
of mill, hence the addition
al amounts agreed upon by.
the committee. The report
will be acted upon at the
July term of quarterly court.
