Here is what is says about it:
This talk of subsidized newspapers
in Florida Is reaching the point Of
extreme nsnses q. Here's good Mr..
Brown, of Marion, for instance. who
is old enough to know better, shrek.

age and presumed discretion, a man
who has figured in public life in

The Tribune will venture to say
that good Mr.. Brown, who Was, some

governor, cannot give names and
facts to sdbstantiate the purchase Of
the political opinions OF one ne u.s.

And a man who aspires TO be the
governor Of the great state OF Florida
should not make statements on the

Not word Of the above contains
an atom of truth, and nothing has

THE POLITICAL PEPPER-soX.

The political pepper-box is neither
new nor original. 1t is very old
weapon both in this country and in
England.
Mr.. Henry Clay was, perhaps, more
idOlized by his own party and more
respected by the opposition than any
other American statesman. Yet, in
paying tribute to his memory one
OF his distinguished colleagues said
that the "small politicians had emp
tied the contents Of their pepper
boxes upon him."
1t is more Familiarity called "vials
of wrath"
Again "the contents of their little
pop-guns fell hurtless at his feet"

senate he changed the phrase TO
"pitchfork" but it always means the
same.

was not without his caluminators and

and worse epithets.
Thomas Jefferson was furiously
denounced as "demagogue."
And so on down the line. No
statesman nor reforIuer nor good
man has travelled except along thorny
paths.
Henry George in the concluding
chapter Of his progress and Poverty
dwells long and elOquently upon the
little charity shown to those who have
spent their whole lives with the single
purpose of benefitting their fellow
men.

BROWNS COTTON BOOM a BooR TO
The SOUTH.

Just now, says Mr.. r. II. EdmOnds,
editor of the Bal iIuore Msnufsctur-
ers' Record, the south is raising q
paeon OF praise OF w. P. Brown and
his associates in the bull campaign in
cotton, for the effect OF their work
has been 10 awaken the world To the
actual shortage III cotton, the realizs-
ton of which insures high prices to
the planters for this years crop. But
for Browns work it Is quite probable
that, a. has often happened before,
there would have been no advance in
price until the crop was out OF the
hands OF the farmers, and then the
spectators and the mills, instead Of
the growers, would have made the
big profits from the advance. Brown
did not destroy single bale OF cotton
nor has he locked il up where it can
not be had. The shutting down OF
mills is due TO the actual shortage in
the cotton supply, and the bull Oper-
stors only brought the condition to
public knowledge. Even though they
had never been heard OF, there would
not have been cotton enough TO go
around, and many mills would have
had to close down awaiting the COM
ing of the new crop. Some mills,
tempted by high prices, sold their
cotton rather than manufacture il,
aud this cotton has been resOld by
Brown TO other mills. 50 GREATS the
influence Of the cotton mills Of Europe
and New England that all possible
pressure has been brought against
high prices, for the cotton manufac-
turer is necessarily a bear on prices.
Low prices for the raw staple mean
larger profits for the mill, and Europe
and New England, which consumes
80 per cent. of the sOuth's cotton
crop, holding no interest in this sec
ton other than TO buy cotton at the
lowest price, till the world with eXag-
gerated reports about the danger of
cotton growing in other countries,
about the prospects of large crops and
OF production exceeding the demand.
This is an old game played for many
years to the great loss of the south.
For once, however, southern men
have met the bears Of Europe and
America, and in the greatest cotton
battle Of the worlds history have
come out victorious. The south al
least does not begrudge them the vast
profits which rumor says they have
reaped, for their work has made 1t
quite certain that this years cotton,
including the seed, will bring to this
section more than 500, 100000 in ex-
cess Of the largest amount ever re-
ceived for single crop. 1t is conser-
vative to estimate that the growers OF
cotton will receive not less than $780,
900, 900 for this years crop.

Our Industrial Edition.

The Ocala Banner will get out q
special Trades Edition for the pur-
pose of extensively advertising the
resources and advantages of Florida
in general and Marion county in par
ticular. When it is said that this
edition will be under the direct super.
vision of Mr.. Louis Brumby, it is
already a conceded success. Mr..
Brumby is acknowledged TO be the
best descriptive writer in the state
and easily ranks among the best in
the south. He will put into this
issue his very best effort, which
means that all the information nee
essary to those seeking homes in q
congenial CLINE, will be forthcoming.
The public benefactor is not neces-
sarily always he who lavishly spends
his millions in pet schemes and along
certain lines, but it is more often he
who spends his time, labor and energy
for the promotion of those things
that will bring wealth and prosperity
to the laboring masses. Among the
latter class of philsnthropists may
be mentioned the Hon. Frank Harris.

BEARD TO JENNINGS.

Mr.. John 6. Beard has written 8
second ''open letter" to Gov. w. :.
Jennings.
The distinguished Pensscolisn
claims that the governors recent de-
claration OF principles a. enunciated
in his announcement declaring him.
self q candidate for United States
senator is not consistent with his past
political record.
Examining the journal OF the pro-
ceedings OF the legislature for 1895 Of
which body Gov. Jennings was a
mem Der. Mr.. Beard finds that the
governor voted against the PROPOSE
ton memorializing congress to pass q
law for the free and Unlimited COIN
age OF silver 81 the ratio of Is 10 /.
Mr.. Beard saws that Gov. Jennings
was not delegate TO the Ocala con-
ventiOn in ls96 because il was gener-
ally known that he was gold mono
metalist.
Again Mr. Beard says:
During the memorable United
States senatorial contest in the legis-
lsture OF 1897, you We're, / believe, in
Tallahassee, at least a part OF the
time, and taking an active interest in
this contest. Upon which side? The
democratic voters would liked 10 be
informed. Were your sympsthies,
work and influence with the silver
advocates. or the gold mOnOmetal-
lists?
When the restoration OF silver was
an issue of vital Importance 10 the
''ioiliug masses who make the wealth
and pay the taxes" you were work
ing and voting with the gold mono
metalists; but now, when the silver
issue il in state OF suspended ami
nation you declare for the restOra-
ton OF silver.
Mr.. Beard closes his letter a. fol-
lows:
There Is, however, currency issue
before the country Of mighty import
auce-the AIdrich and Fowler bills
one pending in the senate and the
other in the house. Both measures
failed to pass the last congress; but
they are there, and 1.-The advocates OF
u change in our currency laws" says
the Chicago Record Herald, may be
roughly divided into those who favor
the Aldrich bill, and those who favor
the Fowler bill.n
/ cannot find one word IN your
platform to indicate your position a.
TO these measures.
Are you in favor Of any change in
our currency laws, except the restOra-
ton Of silver? II so, do you favor
the Aldrich or the Fowler bill, and
why?
