he especially announced himself as in IA
yor of absolute freo-trade upon many of
the leading products of the farm, notably
wool, which he insisted shoald be put
upon the free list of the Wilson bill.
When that bill was passed by the con-
currence of the House in the six hundred
amendments of the Senate it was Bryan
and Hon. Jos. Bailey, representative
from the State of Texas, who in their
ecstasy seized the champion, who was the
putative father of the law, the Hon. w.
l.. Wilson, of West Virginia, and carried
him ON their shoulders in triumphal pro-
cession through the House of Representa-
tives into the cloak-room una saturnalia
of Joy resounded from those premises. 1t
was Bryan who favored the introduction
of foreign material into this country free
of charge. 1t was Bryan who demanded
that all raw material such as wool, coal,
iron, and everything which entered into
the manufacture of goods, should be inn
ported free, and it was his influence,
more than any other mans. that brought
about the terrible result with which we
are so familiar.
1t was Bryan's earnest demand that
put wool on the free lisr, and in that de-
bate he declared that he did not care
whether it benefited or hurt the wool
grower. 1t was Bryan who drove the
tariff on coal down to such an extent as
to flood the Eastern markets with coal
and stimulate the growth of the develop
ment of coal in the British possessions in
the northeast, and practically drove us
out of the seaboard markets with the soft
coal of Central States. 1t was Bryan
who advocated the low tariff on agricul-
tural products and utterly refused to dis
criminate or allow discrimination in favor
Of the products of the West and Middle
West. The laboring men of the country
and the farmers of the country, before
they plunge themselves into the vortex
that is being held out, should get Bryan's
record and read it. 1t is very interest
ing chapter in the personal politics of that
gentleman. The platform made at Kan
sas City is very adroit in laying the foun-
dation for an enactment in Congress,
should Bryan be elected, satisfactory to
his history and record. Not daring to as
sail protection directly he came at it in
the platform which he personally con-
Quoted as follows:
Tariff laws should be amended by put
ting the products of trusts upon the free
list We condemn the Dingley
tariff law as a trust breeding measure,
skillfully devised, etc."
That is the platform of the party de-

whose nomination Mr.. Bryan accepted.
The original Populist party, whose candi-
date Mr.. Bryan now is, refer to the
Sioux Falls nomination, also places itself
on record in similar attitude So Mr..

One of the most entertaining lectures
that a Mt. Pleasant audience has had
the pleasure of listening to in quite a
long while was delivered by Hon. Aft
Taylor in the chapel of Howard insti-
tute last Monday evening under the
auspices of Maury lodge, No. 1877,
Knights of Pythias. Mr.. Taylor's lee
ture, "Poetry and Pearls, is certainly
of most entertaining character, and
though Mr.. Taylor was complaining
considerably of hoarseness, his delivery
was splendid and the audience was
thoroughly entertained. The crowd in
attendance was very large, and besides
paying expenses, neat sum was real
lied by the lodge.
Those who heard Mr.. Taylor will be
delighted to know that he is among the
lecturers to be furnished by the Lyceum
Bureau next fall, and we will have the
pleasure of having him with us again.
In this connection we wish to say il
is greatly to be hoped that in the fu.
ture the lecturers and audiences will
not be disturbed by lace Corners, as

The Coming Eclipse.

From an interesting article by W.
M. Fulton, published in the Knoxville
Sentinel, we reproduce the following:
1t is not easy to explain how the solar
eclipse occurs without the use of graph
ical illustrations. A general idea may,
however, be given in words. There are
three, and only three, heavenly bodies
concerned in solar eclipses; these are
the sun, the moon and the earth. The
moon revolves around the earth, max
ing q complete circuit in fraction over
twenty-nine days. At the same time
the earth is revolving around the sun in
an egg-shaped, or eclipical, path. The
solar eclipse is caused by the moons
passing between the sun and the earth
in its movements around the latter.
Once every month-that is every time
the moon comes to the phase called the
new moon-there would be an eclipse
of the sun, were 1t not that the moons
path about the earth, and that of the
earth about the sun are not in the same
plane, but inclined to each other by an
angle of little more than five degrees
circular measure. When the moon
comes round in the direction of the sun,
she usually passes somewhat above or
below the straight line between the
earth and sun, and an eclipse is thus
avoided. Twice this year, however

Sullivan County Democrats.

The democrats of Sullivan county
met in mass convention at Blountville
Monday and passed the following reso-
lutions:
The committee on resolutions re-
ported as follows, which report was
adopted:
Resolved, first, That we, the demo-
Gratis of Sullivan county, in mass meet
ing assembled, reaffirm our allegiance
to the principles of the democratic par
ty as enunciated in the platform as
adopted at Chicago on the 18th day Of
July, 1896; and, also, in the platform a.
Nashville, on the 9th day of May, 1900;
and pledge our support to the prln-
ciples emodied in said platform, and to
the candidate named by the last named
convention.
Resolved, second, That the delegates
selected by this mass meeting to repre-
sent Sullivan county in the convention
called to meet at Johnson City, on the
25th day of May, 1900, to nominate q
democratic candidate for congress, be,
and they are hereby Instructed to cast
the vote of said county as unit for j.
H. Burrow for said position so long as
there shall be reasonable chance fol
his nomination.
Resolved, third, That the democracy
Of Sullivan county do most cordially
indorse the action of the democratic
convention at Nashville in nominating
Hon. Benton McMilIin as his own sue
cessor as governor of the old Volunteer
State, and pledge him our hearty anC
unqualified support for said office; ant
while we thus pledge him our supper
fer governor we have no sympathy will
his dual candidacy, and we hereby mos
regretfully deprecate his declared pur
pose of contesting for seat in the Uni
ted States senate.
Resolved, fourth, That the Chairman
of the state senatorial committee of The
2nd senatorial district, A. G. Harkle
road, be requested to call the conven
ton tonominate democratic candidat
for state senator from the 2nd district
to be held at Bristol on the 2nd Frida,
in June, 1900.

lowing resolution which, after som
discussion, was adopted:
Whereas, under the existing condi
tons, all favorable to the selection 0

endorsement of the Hon. e. W. Cal
mack for the United States senate, t
succeed the Hon. r. B. Turley.

the moons path crosses the line, and
thus renders it possible for the moon to
pass between the earth and sun, and
thus produce an eclipse by cutting off
more or less of the suns light from the
earth. We thus see that there are al
ways two eclipse of the sun each year,
while III extreme cases even five solar
eclipse may take place in one year, and
once in every three hundred years,
about three or seven eclipses in one
year. This will happen in the year
1888 The number of eclipses in year
is commonly four or five. Although
this is true, few persons have an Oppor-
tunity of witnessing more than limit
ed number of eclipses. There are a
number of reasons for this: First, the
moon may happen along just as its path
is coming or going out from between
the sun and earth, and thus cut only a
small part of the suns light Causing a
partial eclipse, which is of very short
duration, and may not attract the at
tention of the causal observer. Sec
ondly, no one eclipse is visible to peo-
pie in all parts of the world. 1t can be
seen only by those who happen to live
in a small part of the globe covered by
the moons shadow. Thirdly, the sky
may be overcast with clouds at the
time an eclipse occurs and thus obscure
it from view.
