ON THE PLATFORM.

1t seems impossible for some Demo
cratic newspapers to tell the truth con-
corning Mr.. Brownlow. However that
fact 10 not stated ne q novelty. Proba
bly, II they tell the truth about any Re-
publican 1t is the result Of an accident.
and they do not deserve any credit for
it.
In the last ten days Mr.. Brownlow
has been published to the world as a
free silver man a dozen times. The
cause is plain. Accustomed TO bay the
moon and cut all kinds of dishonest
and absurd tricks somebody has EVIL
IDENTIFY concluded that an able bodied
and consistent campaign of lies might
| defeat Mr.. Brownlow for Congress and
hence the falsehoods.
It is probably true that Mr.. Brown.
low in his preliminary campaign said
that he was in favor of free coinage OF
American silver with a duty on foreign
silver, but he has not taken any such
position since the st. Louis convention.
He Immediately placed himself square
ly on the Republican platform and any
man with a brain that would not rat
tie loose around in a grain of mustard
knows that in the Fifty Fifth Congress
he will vote with his party on every
financial measur that comes forward.
But suppose Mr.. Brownlow was for
free silver. We recall that some of his
critics, we're at one time seated on their
launches, with ears thrown back and
agonized effort depicted on their faces,
braying for gold. They are not in an
attitude to do much pointing to the
mote in his eye as long as the saw legs
are protruding from theirs.
The movement against Mr.. Brown
low Is not exactly candid. He is the
regular Republican candidate for Con-
gress and has placed himself upon the
Republican platform. He is entitled
to the regular Republican vote. The
Journal does not intend to call his Re-
publican competitor, Mr.. Nelson, hard
names. He Is O worthy gentleman, 80
far as we know. But he is In hard
company and in danger, If his candi
dacy has any effect whatever, which
we doubt, Of doing harm to the very
cause he processes to espouse. If, for
the sake of argument, he could get
enough votes to defeat Brownlow, what
good would 1t do the country and the
Republican party to elect the Demo-
cratic free silver reputation candi-
date?
Capt. Nelson is a Republican and q
sound money man. So are his friends.
Now, gentlemen, observe your allies.
Are you proud of them? In a great
Presidential campaign you are out of
the ranks of Republicans, scattered
around In the bushes, and even on the
skirmish line; but bushwhacking. If
you do anybody good it will be the
free silverites. Your advisers are Dem.
ocratic newspapers and in your inter
ests they are going out of their way to
misrepresent the regular Republican
candidate and If these misrepresenta
tons have any effect at all you profit
by falsehood and receptions. In all
kindness The Journal asks: Are you
proud of the position you are imp

THAT R

Most of our people are gratifed that
our county is to have a suitable repre-
sentation of its industrial and economic
products at the oncoming exposition of
the State at Nashville. Some Of the
Justices opposed the appropriation on
grounds of economy and such like, but
made no strenuous opposition to it. .-Eq2a
We feel satisfied that the expenditure,
even from the point of economy, will
prove in the end one of the best invest
ments the county ever made. OF course
this is based upon the assumption that
the commissioners will do their full
duty, and have such display as the
county is able to make. If this be done,
our word for it, the beneficial effects in
the introduction and increase of popu.
lation the advance in the value and de.
mand for our lands, minerals, timber
etc., will be apparent from the start,
and will continue in the proportion that
we persist in the work of displaying
to the country at large, the attractive.
ness of our section over most others in
so great a variety ofrespects.

BRYANARCHY WILL FAIL.

The lippy and pyrotechnic statesman
of Nebraska, who is hippodroming
owe the country as the Presidential
nominee of three parties, and the revo.
lutionary sentiment is universally
echoed by his hackers and followers,
says that the present contest is a fierce
war between the farmers and laborers
on ONE side and the organized power
of wealth on the other" He proposes
to overthrow the unholy combination
of the p~lutocratic forces and put the
plain people" on top by deluging the
country with free silver. In the first
place the premises are false; and If
true, the trouble is too deep seated to
be reached and G. by such a
nostrum as the free silver cure.
This attempt to array class against
classic arouse the passions and preju-
dice of the workingmen against the
only source from which they can OBJ,
tain employment and wages-is the
quintessence of brazen and desperate
anarchy. 1t is rank, rampant dema'
gogism to palm off on the people the
most preposterous and dangerous fraud
as a sane proposition.
The prosperity, yea, the existence OF
every civilized nation depends wholly
upon cordial and harmonious relations
between capital and labor. They are
equally necessary to each other. They
are the only two factors in the iusep.
arabic union of commercial power and
national advancement. He who would
disturb this natural alliance-or to put
it more truthfully-destroy this kin.
ship of material forces, Is a public
enemy. He can not be entrusted with
the destinies of a free government mol
of an ambitious and intelligent people,
who are striving to lead the way to the
emancipation and betterment of the
whole human race.
Bryan may be a travelling e%ncyclo
pedia of political wisdom, a rose Of
greatness, a man whose eloquence
would have charmed and bewitcheC
the Roman Senate in the days of Cicero
but as neither the fiat Of the Execute We
nor the laws of Congress can give 9

fraudulent and absurd scheme of fret

"The truth never needs crutches of

Ever since he entered the canvass

solicitude for the redemption and sal

He learned his lesson thoroughly from
the official records of the State and not

THE DIFFERENCE.

In 1892 national prosperity was at
high tide. The people were too busy
at work to give serious thought to
politics. They thought the election
would go right without any enthusiasm
and interest on their part. Their greed
and indifference brought them the
measurless calamities of free trade.
In 1896 times never were SO hard.
Enforced idleness has taken the place
of industry, impoverishment of abun.
dance. Distressing experiences EN-.
pasize the sad mistake Of '92. The
people have food for reflection and
they are rejecting coolly and clearly.
lmpassioned appeals and fervid oratory
are unavailing to lead them away from
sober judgment and the determination
not to be again ensnared. Anything
that has free" attached to 1t at once
u their suspicious and their
fears. They have been ''scorched''
enough TO know in what direction the
danger is, and in that direction they
a not be led by the party halter nor
driven by the party lash.
Free silver is a connection between
free trade and Democracy that will
fail to connect just at the right time.

ted the price of silver will advance
from 90 cents to 81 20 an ounce. How?
Simply by the fiat Of the Executive
opening the minis of the country to it's
free and unlimited coinage. This fiat
will reverse a law that has come down
the centuries and has stood through all
changes and revolutions. Supply and
demand will have nothing whatever to
do with the price of silver. We may
just have our W product, or we may
have the product of the world dumped
upon us in addition, still the price can
not fiuctuate. Is this logical? Is il
reasonablep But then the Bryanites
never tell us that when the Govern.
ment shall coin silver for individuals
and private corporations free of charge

DIR LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

In their enthusiasm and zeal for the
election of Mckinley, Tillman and
Brownlow, the Republican party of
this section should notlose sight of the
of Legislative ticket, R. r. Butler for
Senator, ]. F. Toney for Floater and
]. 7. Browning for Representative.
Judge Butler is an old campaigner.
He has had a long and varied expert.
nee in public life, and is ''up' to all
the lodges, tricks and frauds of the
Democratic party. These are trying
times and just such men 10 the Judge
are needed at State Capitol to smell
out' and defeat the willy schemers of
the opposition.
Mr.. Toney, one of the leading citi-
zens of Unicoi-that Gibraltar of Re-
publicanism- is a successful business
man, and his politics is of the practical
sort. He understands the needs of the
State and the wants of his own section.
His education is of that character as
to make his services valuable to the
people. He and Senator Pritchard,
of North Carolina, were school mates
and the closest friends and began life
together.
Mr.. Browning is a young man of
bright talents and great promise. He
is a scholar and educator, and has sus.
tanned himself c%reditably in the jour
nalistic field as a conductor of a Re.
publican newspaper. He, as well as
Mr.. Toney, being members of the press
gang. No other evidence is needed to
prove that they are gentlemen and are
well qualified for the legislative sta
tons to which they aspire.

SINCE Palmer and Buckner have been
nominated by the sound money Demo.
Gratis, it has been discovered that they
were never true to ''the party of JEFF.
ferson and Jackson" that they are
%senile, incompetent and never did
amount to anything even in the green
leaf of age. OF course, the Indianapo-
lis Convention was a mob of roaving
idols. and could not select a ticket even
worthy of the scorn of a free silver
Democrat. Since the Democratic party
has gotten rid of such a mass of scum,
riffraff and imbecility it is purely a
party of respectability and brains.

silent workshops, idlers for the lack Of
work. and discouraged and despoiled
farmers. The desolation could hardly
be more complete If the country had
been overrun by an army of maraudsrs.
The losses that can be counted, by the
prostration of business in the last four
years, are far greater than the war
debt in 65. The plague of free trade
wrought this universal havoc.
If the Democratic argument be true
that the demonstration of silver-the
much harped on "crime Of '78"-
brought these national aff1ictiens, what
power held its fearful woes in suspen-
sionland allegiance for twenty yearsY
Why did not the panic occur in 73, in
stead of beginning in 92, Immediately
upon the election Of Grover Clevelandp
If the virtual suspension Of silver coin
age caused the serious trouble, why
did not the resumption Of silver coin
age cure the evil?
And pray tell us II you can, why the
interim between 1878 and the time Of
Grover Cleyeland's nomination in 1899
was the most prosperous era in Ameri-
can history.
When Grover Cleveland was inaugu-
rated March 4, 1893 and for a long
time afterward everybody was satisfied
with the currency and no complaint
was entered about the discrimination
against silver in favor of gold. 1t was
only after the disastrous failure of the
Wilson German revenue law had
brought discredit and odium on the
Democratic party that the agitation
of the money question began.
There is a significant fact right here.
Whilst Protection upholds and fosters
the industries of the people, u cur
rency system, without delay and with
absolute precision, adjust itself to
the conditions of prosperity it always
%insures. This fact is becoming more
apparent as the campaign of education
progresses. The people are taking
hold of it despite the d~istracting craze
over silver. Silver dollars, If they are
good dollars, will be just as hard to
get hold of as gold dollars, 1t will re
quire the same effort and the same
opportunities for employment to COM
mqnd the equivalent for the one as the
other.
Give the country Protection and the
money question is settled without any
further legislation.
