THE SEVENTH DISTRICT.
Mai. Pat Henry's. Triumph over Col. Chas
f. Hooker.

The Congressional campaign which
has been agitatlng the counties com
posing the Seventh District OF Missis
sippi ever since the Convention which
assembled at jackson in August, cam,
to an end at a primary election ol
Saturday. September rs, when Maj
Patrick Henry of Rankin county gained
a sweeping victory over Col. Chas. E
Hooker, of Kinds, between whom the
contest had narrowed. as the severaI
other candidates withdrew before the
primary took place.
1t is with sincerity we congratulate
Maj. Henry on his triumph. Having
known him personally for a number OF
years, we believe him to be peerless as
an honorable and upright gentleman,
as true to his friends as the needle to
the pole land he possesses the ability and
courage to make a Representative in the
Congress of the United States of whom
his constituency and the people of the
entire State may we'll feel proud. His
victory over so able, talented and elo-
quent a gentleman, soldier and patriot
as Col. Chas. E. Hooker, but shows the
depth OF the regard in which Maj.
Henry is held among the people vino
are his neighbors and who have known
and recognized his worth since he has
resided with them, which has been all
of his life.
1t has been amusing. if not disgust
ing, to Us to notice the unkinl criticisms
heaped upon Gov. a. j. McLaurin dur
ing the campaign for his personal sup
port Of Maj. Henry's cAnlidacy. Gov.
McLaurin, in our opinion, has but as
serted his manhood in remaining loyal
to friend and companion from boy
hood. We not believe he misapplied
his official influence toward Mai.
Henrys campaign, but had he done
otherwise than vote and work for him
as private citizen he would have
been unworthy the sacred name Of
friend.
II the time ever comes when, simply
because man is elected to an exalted
position OF trust and responsi sibility, he
must at once turn his back upon the
days OF "auld lang syne,n and the
friends and comrades Of lifetime, our
officials will then be OF a class unworthy
the name of men and beneath the re-
spect and confidence OF our citizens.

so warm sfor John Boyd Thatcher,
that when the notification committee
waited on him with the Buffalo nomi-

SHOW YOUR FAITH by YOUR WORKS.

patriotism of every true Democrat an.
call forth ready and abundant respon
SOS. The letter says:
rs is imperative that the nationa

industriously from now until its close
There has always existed great dis
crepancy in the campaign funds Of the
two parties, but the difference was
never more marked than this year
The classes that have profited and tina,
hope to profit by legislation have con-
tributed vast sums to the Republican
campaign fund. We can only hope for
assistance from friends OF the peoples

who want an administration that will
promote selfish private interests.
Col. Holder has made this letter
widely public, and we hope it is meeting
with the liberal treatment our great
cause deserves. Brother, we must
meet the enemy with the same ammu-
milton he uses, and we must make some
sacrifices to do it, If you cannot con-
tribute more than a dime, why give
that-the dimes make dollars. Send
them along to the New York sJournal
and have them doubled. For every
dollar contributed to the Journals

A VALUABLE PLANT.

1t is predicted by an observ-
ing writer that before long the
sunfower will come into gener-
al cultivation in this country.
As a plant it has no superior
for vigor, rapid growth and
prolific yield of seed, leaves and
stalk, all of which can be util-
lied. The seeds are specially
good as seed for fowls, and then
mixed with grain they are re.
lished by all farm animals.
Fifty bushels of seed to the
acre is fair yield, and this
will produce fifty gallons of oil
worth 81 a gallon, In China Il
valuable fiber, used in silk
weaving, is obtained from the
stalks, and they are of service
as fuel and source Of potash.
The Orientals mix their tobac-
co with cured sunflower leaves
and make a yellow dye from
the flowers, which are rich in
honey AID wax. The sunhower

want and suffering and toll. It stalks in all it's terrors over the poor and needy, the .wage-earner and the farmer, and well it ejaeu lates:
 Here judge if hell with all it's power to

 Can add one curse to the foul thing ann
 Such is the master that Mckinley dares not denounce. Such is the monster the Republican party has spawned to strike the homes of our people with poverty, our trade with paralysis, our fields with sterility and to trample upon our liberties, and this is the monster dark and foul and hideous, that William Jen- nings Bryan confronts;and the issue before the American people is, shall the Trusts, born of hell, or shall the young soldier who has come out of the West at the bidding of our al- most hopeless people, win control of the American Republic.

tory ever contemplated. What was the cause of this wonderful and woe fgl transformation? Many causes, no doubt, contributed to the change; but o5er and above all others, more than all others combined, the can cer, which, taking root in the Ro- man system, finally polluted and ruined the whole State, it's trade and industry, it's military prowess and its social life, was precisely the same that has fixed itself upon the vitals of the American republic, and unless cut out of the body polite, root and branch, will work the ruin of our institutions. This is not fanfaronde. Tn the palmy days of the Roman republic no one dreamed that Cato and Scipio, with their following of patriots and war riors, would be succeeded by Sulla and his demagogues and butchers;  and even then no one dreamed that these would be succeeded in turn by Nero, Caligula, Commodus and their fellow butchers.
 Yet all these things came to pass, and the greatest and noblest repub- lie of time sunk, as we have said, in to a so debadched and infamous des- potism that men trembe to read it's bloody history. The cause was the aggregation of enormous fortunes by government favoritism. The Romans conquered and plundered every nation on the earth and trans ferred it's spoil to Rome, where it went to create Q great aud powerful plutocracy, not plutocracy created by industry, intelligence, patriotism and honesty, but plutoeracy of enervated nobles, who could no longer bear the weight of the ar nor of the old soldiers of the Re public; plutocracy of spoilers of conquered cities and provinces, and under the corrupting and enerYating influences of this plutocracy, which degraded the politics, the society and the manhood and debased the womanhood of the republic, Rome routed into C@sarism.
 But the Roman system of creat- ing plutocrrcy by favoritism was infinitely more honorable and manly than that which has been adopted by the Republican party in this country. Rome spoiled hostile or rival nations, and while she created with their wealth her plutocraey, she did not oppress her people. They
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-10-26

knew nothing of protective tariff, plundering the people to the amount of billion of dollars a year, to en- rich a few favorites; they knew noth- ing Of trusts and combines which are crushing the Iifeblood out of the American people. It was left to the Republican party, which has blossomed into McKinleyism to in- vent these instruments of robbery, oppression and plutocracy. Some fostered her plutocracy and finally her ruin by the spells of conquered countries; the Republican party has created a plutoeracy, the richest on the face of the earth, by the sneak ing and unmanly system of taxing our own people under the rascally pretense of protection to enrich lobbyists, corruptionists and favor ties.
 The Democratic party has no issue with men who have inherited their wealth, or who have accumu- lated it by energy, industry and wealth. The Democratic party makes no war upon the rich, A country without rich men would never advance a step in civilization. Rich men have built our asyIpms, our universities, our churches, our great public institutions, and their investments of their money have enriched the republic and their charities have been chief among the revenues used to carry out the most sacred precepts of the Master to provide for the poor and needy.
 The war of the Democratic party, then, the fight for Bryan, is not against the rich. It is against a plutocracy created by corruption and favoritism and that has not principle of honesty, nat a drop of honest sweat; not the first strain of honest muscle in it. A plutocracy not born of honest thrift, but plu- tocracY hell-born, created by every agency that is antagonistic to honor and justice the Republican govern ment, and which, in it's nature, an- tagonizes Republican government, and hence is living threat to the liberties of the people,
 Yesterday we printed a cartoon from the Chicago Dispatch in which Trusts, the progeny of hell and to which Mckinley is subservient, is represented in all it's horrors, before which the wage-earner in terror is holding to his bosom his half starved babe and interposing his own helpless body between his terrified wife and the monster. The cartoon is not overdrawn. It is one of the best we have seen. The tusks of the Trusts are dripping with blood; it's feet are fresh from trampling upon the hearts of widows and orphans at fresides unkindled because of the coal trust, it's iron hands are wet with the tears of
