The Battle of Words.

Hon. H. l.. Remmel of Little Rock. as the exponent of Repub- licanism, and Hon. A F. Wander venter, of Morrilton, as the re- presentative of Democracy, met in a wordy contest at the Opera House in Brinkley Wednesday evening. MT. Remmel was intro dueed first and after few intro ductory remarks proceeded to discuss the local and national issues in an emphatic and very determined way. He said his party favored the Nicarauga canal, justice at the polls under every condition, exemption of taxation on new manufacturing enterprises as an inducement to new state con- stitution, a change in election laws: protection, the gold stan dard and reciprocity. He com plimented ex-Gov. Clark for his action in allowing the Republicans to be represented on the State Board of charities and ripped Gov. Jones mp the back for re- fusing to do the same and for his position in regard to the elections and other matters. He criticised senator J. K. Jones, had consid- erable mud to fling at the Demo cratic party as a whole. He said the Democrats might manage the state governmet in a satisfactory manner, but that it did not have the capacity to run the national government.
 Then Mir. Vanderyenter came forward and after expressing the pleasure sfforded by the occasion,
 he proceeded in very eloquent manner to drive away as mists I before monday sun, whatever
 suspicion of fear might have beer
 caused by the speaker who pre-
 cceded him. He very foreibly
 and logically met every point o- difference raised in favor of Re publican rule and made the path
 of Democracy quite plain. H.

Helena Compress Company,
 Helena, Ark.

Helena, Ark, Aug. 30, 1898. To the patrons of the Helena
 Compress Company:
 As you have doubtless seen through the public prints we have caused our attorneys to ascertain, If possible, what effect the pres ent Stamp Act imposing a tax of twenty-five cents upon each ware- house certificate as provided Ill said act would have upon the present methods of doing business in Helena. The answer of the Commissioner, which was pub llshed, left the matter to be de- cided upon the facts of each par tlcular case as it arose. In order to avoid all questions and leave the shipper and handler of cotton free from any doubt upon this point, we have decided that this Compress Company will pay all taxes imposed by said act upor cotton received by it. Our pat rons can therefore ship their cot ton as heretofore to us with tn, | full assurance that no burden arising under said Act will be i'm posed upon them.
 We feell grateful for the pat ronage heretofore bestowed upol us and can assure you that you business will be handled with tn same careful attention as hereto Efore. We have increased ou shed room, platforms and com pr, IS capacity and are now pre- pa 'ed 10 handle crop equal t | tha at of 1897 -9S with ease.

 5 He produced facts and figures
 to prove that the Dlngley bill was a failure, that 1t was more money and not~more confidence that was needed. He showed that the vol tune of our exports increases but
 brings us less value than smaller former export, and the per capita consumption of corn is ? bushels
 less and of cotton 4 pounds less
 than formerly. He alleges that the people are driven to this econ
 omy in consumption not from choice, but because of the scarcity of money. He believes that trusts aud legislation, rather than over production are responsible for the decline in the price of products, and that to charge it to over pro- duction would be like saying God and man had entered into com bine-the Almighty to furnish the rich soil, the favorable climate. and seasons, and man the lngenu- | ity and labor-for the purpose of impoverishing the world by over production. The Republicans are
 satisfied with the efforts of their champion, and the democrats are lisure that their nerves are moro
 steady and the party here is
 strengthened by the decisive and
 correct argument of their fearless
 color-bearer.
