for bringing the tariff 10 the front at
this time. No candid man can read
the figures of our foreign trade under
the last few years of protection and
compare them with those for the last
four years under the threat or actual
experience of low tariff without seeing
the true reason of our present financial
troubles. The net loss in our trade
balance of 1896, ,9s3, ,607 during the first
Is months of the operation of the Will
son German law, as compared with the
first months under the Mckinley law,
is enough to convince all, except those
who are wilfully blind, that the cause
OF our present troubles is not because
We have good money but bad tariff
laws. And the embarrassment of the
national finances is sufficiently ac.
counted for by the fact that the re-
ceipts under the first % months of the
Wilson German law we're S62, ,S03, ,035
below the expenditures. An adequate
protective tariff is as essential as a
sound currency to restore to this coun.
try the prosperity it enjoyed when it
had both, and Major Mckinley made
no mistake when he declared the
former to be of supreme Importance.

The Pensioners Dollar.

'You say you want q little about the
old soldiersP Well, my friends, the
crisis which is approaching now, the
question before the country now, ap.
peals to the old soldier now as much as
it did in 1861. l am not afraid that any
man who risked his life in his nations
behalf is going to be influenced by the
arguments that are addressed to the
soldiers now by the financiers," etc.
Mr.. Bryan, at Milwaukee, September 8.
Not one word in answer to the
question whether the purchasing power
of the monthly pension payments to
$1,000 pensioners would be reduced by
the free coinage Of Is to silver dollars.

mination" Of the 1900 cent dollar" be.
cause it is worth too much and buys
too much.
We do not assume that veteran sol.
diers are thinking of nothing but PEN
sions, but they should compel Mr.. Bry-
an to say frankly what would be the
effect of free coinage upon the pension
er's dollar. Make him answer the ques.
tion one way or the other. A frank
answer would be interesting to many
other persons in addition to those whose
names are on the pension rolls.

Not to Be Ignored.

Boston Journal.-Major Mckinley
could not get away from the tariff
question if he were disposed to.
Some of the sensitive sound money
Democratic journals of the east are
disposed to carp and cavil because his
recent speeches have been largely de-
voted to the tariff question. But lit
tie reflection ought to convince our
contemporaries of the injustice of their
criticism. These speeches, like that OF
yesterday, have been delivered before
visiting bodies of wage earners whose
spokesman dwelt upon the tariff first
and foremost and fairly thrust the sub
ject upon Major Mckinley, who in his
response very naturally devoted him
self to the topic which he saw was
nearest to the hearts of his visitors.
All this is simply the tact and cour-
tesy characteristic of the man. In his
speech to the East Liverpool potters
yesterday, what could be more appro-
pirate than the graphic summary which
Major Mckinley gave of the wonder
full progress of their great industry
under protection? This was the key
note of their leaders address. They
had come many miles to see Major Nc
Kinley and to hear him talk upon the
tariff, and their expectations could not
decently be disappointed.
But it was noticeable that side by
side with the tariff Major Mckinley
emphasized the need of honest money.
He did not forget this other funda'
mental issue of the Republican cam
paign. His party will not forget it,
either.
Until it does, our sound money Dem
ocrats must cease their fault finding.
That is not fair and it is not decorous,
and its only results to encourage the
common enemy.

carry North Carolina next November
for Mckinley and Hobart. The Repub-
licans and Populists in North Carolina,
by cooperative movement in 1894,
defeated the Democrats and obtained
control of the Legislature.
"As result of this combination the
Democratic election law, which the
Republicans and Populists claim were
unfair and fraudulent, were repeated,
and the repeal of these unjust laws,
and from other causes, believe that
the State is certain to give handsome
plurality for the Republican national
ticket.
In my opinion, the Legislature will
be Republican, and United States SEN
ator Prichard will be reelected to tn

Declared of.

And now comes the news that Hon.
Robert l.. Taylor has jumped the joint
convention arrangement and refuses to
fill the engagement made for him and
Mr.. Tillman by the two committees.
So far as the information goes, it is an
utter backdown of Mr.. Taylor and his
committee. 1t was agreed that there
should be ten debates between the two
candidates at places designated by the
committees, but it seems that this Is
not considered advantageous to Taylor
by him and his committee and 30 they
disregard their agreement and break
the engagement. The excuse offered
for this remarkable action, 80 1t is re-
ported. is that the Republican commit
tee have not consulted the free silver
Democratic Committee concerning the
discussion of electors. This is flimsy
excuse which does no credit to Mr.. Tay-
lor or his committee. 1t is clear that 1t
is merely an excuse to avoid debate
with Tillman. That is the only com.
mon sense conclusion that can be
reached. Mr.. Taylor is not willing to
meet Mr.. Tillman unless the latter il
placed at the disadvantage of coming
as petitioner for hearing at the
formers appointments. In view Of all
the arrangements made by the com
mittees and Of the published agreement
the breaking Of the engagement by Mr.
Taylor will be regarded as backdowr
which indicates lack of confidence OF
his part and by his committee in hi
ability to cope with his competitor

Clearing the Atmosphere.

Philadelphia Bulletin.-Major Nc
Kinley has made some excellent
tariff speeches during the past few
days which have warmed the blood of
all who believe that the restoration of
our protective policy is an issue equal
ly as important as the preservation of
the national credit and the main
tenance of the existing standard of
values. Without protection thereca
be no prosperity in this country, and
without prosperity individual and
national bankruptcy must follow as the
night follows the day. There can be
no general prosperity so long as the
Wilson tariff remains unrepealed. 1t
encourages imports, closes American
workshops and impoverishes the treas.
ury. BY stating these facts the Major
has administered deserved rebuke to
the Republican towards and trimmers
who would lower the standard of pro-
lection and even trail it in the dust
that it may be made easy and pleasant
for some free traders to show their
love for their country by voting for
sound money. The rebuke wonder
fully clears the political atmosphere.
Why should not the repeal Of the Of
fensive Wilson tariff be leading issue
Of this campaignp Ever since Abraham
Lincoln was frat nominated for the
presidency in 1850. the Republican
party has always emanded that Amer
lean capital and labor should be pro-
tected by adequate tariff legislation
against foreign competition in our own
markets. In all the years which have
since intervened, except during the
present disastrous Democratic expert.
ment with free trade, the country
under Republican rule has enjoyed the
benefits of a protective tariff, has pros
pered as 1t never prospered before.
Every tariff that has been made by a
Republican Congress since 1860 has
been protective tariff. The only tariff
that has been made by Democratic
Congress since that year has been in
the main free trade tariff. The Re,
publican party, through it's chosen
standard bearer and the platform upon
which he was nominated, now very
properly demands the repeal Of this
free trade tariff at the earliest possible
moment and the complete re- establish
ment of the protective policy, to the
end that our industries may be restored
to healthful activity, the labor of the
country be fully employed at good
wages, and the treasury of the United
States be supplied with revenue suff
cient to meet all the obligations Of thu
Government, so that the Grover Cleve
land expedient Of borrowing money il
time of peace, and thus needlessly in
crease the national debt, will neve
: again be necessary.

Labor Needs Employment.

San Francisco Call.-It is foolish to
talk about coming more dollars until
our people are in position to earn
dollars. Foreign mills and factories
send very few articles to this country
that we could not manufacture our
selves, but IL we do not manufacture
them how is labor to be benefited by
increasing our money supply? Labor
can not buy unless it has employment
when its product could not compete
with similar product that is permitted
to come in competition with it on the
basis of the lowest possible wages.
If American labor would stop and
reason it would know that the indus.
tries of this country represent too
much money to remain idle forever.
Itis altogether to the interest of our
mill and factory owners to pay very
high wages. The ethical feature of
social life In this country is of vast i'm
portance, for it is the wage class that
is depended upon to stand between our
institutions and foreign aggression and
unless this class is protected by the ma.
tion against attacks upon its opportu-
nifty to labor at good wages, 1t would
lose interest in the Government ITSELF
Hence it is of the utmost Importance
to our industries and commerce that
labor be encouraged to maintain a
high sense of duty to the Government.
But If labor will not cooperate with
the owners of industries to keep their
schedule of wages at the highest possi-
BILE point by supporting such public
measures as will protect the industries
against the product of the low wage
schedule of Europe, it follows that our
mills and factories will have to be
abandoned, or else wages will have to
conform to the wages paid in other
countries. II American labor wants
work at good wages, it must sustain
the source of it's employment and
wages. It. must demand as its righI
whatever protection is needed to secure
Its paymaster against attack by thost
who would rob him of his opportunity

MILLS, NOT MINTS.
A Chance Should be Given to Earn
Good Wages.
THE TARIFF A SUPREME ISSUE.

Even the Question of Sound Money Can Not
be Settled without Revival of Business
Bryan Tariff Raider.
Southern Textile Excelsior.-How
graphically Major Mckinley put it in
his address to the veterans of bis old
regiment when he said it was open and
busy mills and not open mints that the
country needed at this time. Yes; IL
the hum of business can be made to re.
sound in the numerous mills now silent,
the mints can 70 on very we'll indeed.
The mints are always open. Rather
they have never been closed in this
country. They are open to the coinage
OF honest money. They are closed to
coinage on private account of copper,
nickel and silver, and these metals are
not freely coined because they can be
kept at par only by limited coinage.
Major Mckinley is right. IL is the
mills that would be encouraged to
open their doors and give the people g
chance to make wages. With the mills
and workshops in full activity we
should have no deficit in the revenues
and no idle crowds to be appealed to
by demagogues of the Bryan Tillman-
Altgeld stamp. In order to set the
looms and spindles, the great hammers
and the rolls in motion we must defend
the industries against cheaper labor
abroad. That must be done in any
event, and even the question of sound
money can not be fully settled without
a revival of business. We must un-
doubtedly meet and settle the financial
question first of all, and that will be
done. But unless we can pay good
wages and produce at profit, sound
money will not bring peace and con
tent to the people. The use of money
is to pay debts, and the most important
debts are the wages of labor. Labor
must be employed, or the quality Of
the currency will not affect the people
They must have the chance to earn.

The Tariff a Supreme Issue.

Pittsburg imes.-Naturally, there
is some criticism from some of the
Democratic papers, which, while ar.
IDENTIFY for sound money, have for years
been wrong upon the question of pro-
lection, because Major Mckinley,
while meeting their views squarely
upon the former question, has taken
occasion to serve notice that his posi- !.
ton and that Of his party remains un
changed upon the latter. 1t would
have, indeed, been not only cowardly
but inexpressibly foolish for him to
have ignored or minimized the tariff
issue at this time. But Major
Mckinley furnished the best Of reasons

NASHVILLE, TENN, September s.
The declaring off of the joint discus
sion between Ex-Governor Taylor and
Hon. G. N. Tillman caused consider.
able surprise here, especially as Gov.
Taylor had appeared so anxious to
meet Mr.. Tillman. The challenge came
from Governor Taylor's supporters and
having been accepted, it is regarded as
afiimsy excuse that Governor Taylor
should now refuse to meet Mr.. Tillman
simply because the Republican electors
made independent appointments.
The explanation doubtless lies in the
fact that MIR. Tillman will desire to dis.
cuss State issues which Gov. Taylor is
studiously avoiding and attempt to
rally supporters by the cry of free sill.
ver"
Chairman James NJ. Coleman TODAY
formally notified the Republican com.
mittee that he had cancelled the ten
appointments between Governor Tay-
lor and Mr.. Tillman saying, however,
that the committee ''still desires Joint
discussion between our respective can.
didates for Governor and electors and
at any time you are willing to do this
l will meet you, and arrange for an
earnest and real joint discussion, such
as the people of the State desired and
expected"
He claims that he agreed to the ten
appointments as paving the way to q
joint discussion between the Demo.
cratic and Republican electors and
that there was an agreement to meet
and arrange these joint discussions.
To this letter, Chairman Cliffe, OF
the Republican committee, said that
he had not the faintest conception that
there was any condition attached to
the acceptance Of the suggestion that
the places for joint discussion be lin.
tied to ten. When it was suggested
that there be joint discussion between
electors he says he stated he could
make no agreement, but would discuss
the matter with the electors and if they
80 desired dates could be arranged.
This was after the agreement as to Tay-
lor and Tillman had been uncondition-
ally made.
He concluded by saying, 1--WE hope
you will not now insist upon a joint
discussion of electors as q condition
precedent to Mr.. Taylor meeting Mr..
Tillman at times and places heretofore
agreed upon, there being no suggestion
of a joint discussion between electors
for the State at large in your letter ol
August 81, asking for conference fol
the purpose of arranging list of ap'
pointments for the Hon. R. L. Taylor

LETTER FROM TEXAS.


Some of your readers may ask what
are we doing here. Well, some Of us
are sitting around the stores as usual;
some are making sorghum hay, that Is,
cutting, curing and shocking up sor.
ghum that has been sown broadcast
for hay. tits all the way from three
to ten feet high; when cured and baled
it brings SO per ton at Houston when
prairie hay is worth SO. 1t makes six
or seven ton per acre, and we will cut
another crop from the same piece this
year, in October or November. One
man here planted six acres in sorghum
and commenced making molasses the
first of August and finished last week.
Where he commenced cutting first the
sorghum is three feet high now, he
will cultivate it same as before and
again make molasses in October or
November; he made thirteen barrels
Of molasses and expects to make as
much more from the second crop. He
gets 85 cents per gallon.
A man bought 128 acres OF land here
in south Texas last January, he fenced
and plowed it and planted 1t all in
cotton, and he expects one half bale
per acre, which will more than pay for
his land. We don't have to work our
life out grubbing to get the land
cleaned up, but simply fence and go to
plowing; but one has to have money
to do this; 1t requires money to keep
one up at least one year after he buys,
then he can live. This is great place
for poor man. He can remain poor
or he can make good living II he is
industrious and saving. II he has a
team of his own he can get land free
for three or four years for fencing and
breaking, which is better than one can
do in Tennessee. One man can break
25 or 80 or even one hundred acres
if he gets an early start as there is no
grubs or stones to bother. There has
been sweet potatoes on the table ever
since the first of August.
Another murder yesterday in this
county-two negroes got their bristles
up and one shot the other through the
heart; the one that done the shooting
was deaf and dumb; the first negro
mute l ever saw. There will be abou,
two dozen murder cases in Fort Bend
county next court.
A man related quite an exciting ex
perience to us the other day. He lives
thirty seven miles from here in thil
county. A yong cyclone came his way
he was in the hall of his honce knllipf
dried beans, his wife and baby were
in the room; the cyclone struck the
house and blew 1t down, the opposite
side of the house from the vino
fell over fiat on the ground and they
slid into 1t. The roof, opposite side
and floor were blown clear away, ant
they never found any Of it but few
splinters. The man and family wer'
not hurt in the least, but everything
they had was blown away except th'
clothes they had on. A house ont
hundred yards away was not shaken
Only very narrow strip perhaps ont
hundred yards wide, was swept by tn,
storm. JACK RABBIT.
