protection. The republican attitude
towards protection is not only illogical
but it is fagrantly immoral; but then
such an attitude is characteristic of a
party that has caused the government
of the United States to be saturated
with spoliation, scandal and disorder.
When the oleo-margarine was submit
ted by the republicans in congress,
Senator Chauncey Depew and others
made grandiose pleas for the American
COW, as if that useful animal took o
personal interest in having her milk
diverted from her Calls mouth to the
diaries and creameries. If duty on
eggs should be discussed in congress,
we do not doubt that Roosevelt, Can
non, Depew and all the rest would
actually claim to be the friends and
champions of the American hem To
such bathos does the principle" of
protection fall when traced to its ulti-
mate outcome. We know what a re-
vision of the protective tariff by its
friends mean and we want none of it.
What is needed is q revision of the
tariff by real friends of the people, and
they are necessarily relentless enemies
of protection. Commercial Appeal.

I8Q2-IQoA.

There are some interesting parallel
phases of the present presidential cam
paign compared with that of 1892, in
which there was remarkable and sur
prising political landslide" but
whether the result will be paralleled
by the defeat of the party in power re
mains to be seen. In 1892 the republic
can incumbent OF the presidential Office
was running for another term, and his
supporters were boastful in their conf
dence that he would be elected. The
betting in Wall street on the result I'M
til the later days of the canvas was
made with the odds in favor of Harri-
son, but became more favorable to
Cleveland near the close, when num-
Der of even bets were made, and in
few instances odds were given in favor
of the democratic candidate. But the
shrewd gamblers did not foresee the
great landslide. This year the repub-
licans are loud in their confident boasts
of the return of Roosevelt to the presi-
Dental chair, and the Wall street bet
ting is at larger odds on the republican
candidate, but the odds are placed in
favor of the democrats electing their
state ticket in the important state of
New York.
In 1899 the republican managers
about the middle of October decided to
concentrate their efforts upon New
York. New Jersey and Connecticut,
feeling secure of the west and being
over confident as to Indiana, which
was President Harrison's state. This
year the republicans as we'll as the
democrats are concentrating their cam
paigns in New York and Indiana. In
1899 the republicans declared, as they
have this year declared, that the dem
ocrats really worked against hope.
But there was great surprise in store.
Will there be surprise this year?
In 1892 the election day fell on Tues
day, November 8, and this year 1t falls

Cause of LOckjaw.

Lookjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is ex-
cluded the germ is reused to activity
and produces the most viruent poison
known. These germs may be destroy
ed and all danger of lockjaw avoided
by applying Chamberlain Pain Balm
freely as soon as the injury isreceived.
Pain Balm is an antiseptic and causes
cuts, bruises and like injuries to heal
without maturation and in one-third
the time required by the usual treat
ment. Sold by II. G. Miller, druggist

Revision by its Friends.

Mr.. Roosevelts contention that the
protective tariff should be revised by
its friends is on par with the claim
that the felonious postoffice depart
ment should be investigated by itself.
Protection is essentially nothing morc
or less than gaand larceny. 1t makes
the many pay more, not for the benefit
of the government, but for the benefit
of the few. Not only is it a tax, but it
is tax collected by private individuals.
Larceny from the person is not more
surely larceny than is protection. Now
when the authorities set to work to
catch thieves on their track, they do
not submit the evidence before a grand
jury of burglars, and they do not take
the case before highwayman for trial
The "friends" of protection are those
who are either direct or remote bene-
fciaries Of the system; either the man
ufacturers who hold up the republican
party for tariff concessions and con-
tribute "fat" for the campaign in re-
turn, or the politicians, who like para
sites, prey upon the parent oak. There
is absolutely no defense for protection
in morals. The most that can be said
for it is that it is an expedient, some
what excusable in the infancy of new
country. Mr.. Roosevelt in his Life
of Benton" has no liberation for a pro-
tective tariff. He declares that it hurts
one part CT the country while it may
benefit another, and it is most 'un-
wise to pass such laws" He asserts
that "the notification movement in
South Carolina was Immediately caused
by the tariff, and he thinks the South
CaroIinians were justified in their ex-
ASPIRATION at the "truculent and I'M
yielding attitude Of the extreme protec-
tionists. He seems to be heartily in
accord with the claim of the political
economist "who have lpretty generally
agreed that the protection is vicious in
theory and harmful in practice, " and
he cites facts in proof of that claim.
When Mr.. Roosevelt had no personal
interest in the matter, he was not
afraid to speak the truth concerning
protection. Now that his election de-
ponds upon the liberality of the pro-
tected interests in placing a corruption
fund at his disposal he has turned a
somersault, and he now holds that pro-
lection is irrevocably established, and
that the tariff should not be disturbed,
unless it is by its friends. Now the
Commercial Appeal does not hesitate
to say that the revisionists of the pro-
tective tariff ought to be its enemies
They should be men who will extract
just as much grand larceny from it as
possible. Sane people turn the police
loose on thieves and criminals, and it
is time honest men were undertaking

AND TRIBUNE PLEASE NOTE.

JOURNAL AND TRIBUNE PLEASE NOTE.
A correspondent writing from John
son City to the Knoxville Journal and
Tribune, under date of October 18th,
says:
Notwithstanding they were prop
erly qualified, federal soldiers were
denied the right to register by demo
cratic registrars in Johnson City. Last
August, in the election at this place,
democratic Judges would not permit
them to vote, Notwithstanding they
were in every particular properly quail
flied.
1t seems strange that one who lives
in Johnson City and who knows, as he
must know, that many Of his friends
and neighbors many of those with
whom he has his most satisfactory bus
mess relations, to whom he renders his
services or disposes of his wares, what
ever they may be, and from whom he
receives great deal of that which
affords him living-are democrats,
should endeavor to send forth to the
world the impression that those men
are depraved and corrupt. If the cor
respondent had said that these soldiers
(membecs Of the Home) who are en-
deavoring to register in Johnson City
are, in his opinion, in every particu-
lar properly qualified" his language
would be in keeping with the dictates
of good heart but, as written, his
language conveys the erroneous idea
that democratic registrars and judges
are, and have been, arbitrarily depriv-
log these old soldiers of their right to
vote And more, that, as democratic
officers are doing this thing, they are
depriying republicans of their votes.
One issue which the republicans are
trying to make in this (state) campaign
is that the democrats are fraudulently
anG arbitrarily taking away from re-
publicaus their right of suffrage, and
the extract qouted above is an effort to
bolster up that issue by the telling of
half truth, and the putting forth,
partly by opinion asserted as fact and
partly by yicions inuendo, Of false
hood.
1t is true that democratic judges re-
fused to allow members of the Soldiers
Home to vote at the last August cleo
ton, but it is because they we're resi-
dents Of the reservation on land coded
to the United States government. In
this position they thought they were
right, aud the rule was applied to both
republicans and democrats. For the
same reason the registrars are now re-
fusing to register residents Of the Sol.

TEDDY HAS NEW RACE PROBLEM.
White Soldier Maules Negress, and Clti-
zens Demand His Discharge.

Washington, Oct. 17.-President
Roosevelt, as COMMUNICATIVE of
the American army, is confronted with
an awkward phase of the race ques-
ton. Efforts have been made to defer
a determination until after election, but
such postponement now seems i'm
possible.
John j. Smith, member of the
United States army hospital corps,
stationed at Fort Mott, N. j., white
man of good record and excellent char
acter has married a negress. The cir
cumstances connected with this al
lance and the sensation it has created
in Salem, N. j., and the surrounding
villages have thrown the war depart
ment officials into Mysteries and is
seriously worrying the president
Some months ago Private Smith
manifested the most pronounced affec-
tion for dark but good looking ne
gress, described in an official COM
munication "as color of an old saddle. F"
He persisted in taking her to public
restaurants, and several proprietors re-
fused to serve them because of the wo-
mans color. Private Smith was re-
peatedly lectured by his superior officer
the post surgeon at Fort Mott The
advice was unheeded. Instead, Private
Smith sought negro pastor and mar
ried the object of his affections.

JERsEYMEN IN A FURY.

Then white residents of Salem petit
toned the war department for the dis
honorable discharge of Smith. Ne
groes prepared and forwarded similar
petition. Strong representations were
made that unless action was taken
quickly the residents would take mat
tiers into their own hands and do bod
lily injury to Smith. The post surgeon
also transmitted a recommendation for
his summary dismissal, and declared
the service had been scandalized by
Smiths actions.
The commanding officer at Fort
Mott, however, saw the matter in an
other light. He said that under the
laws of New Jersey a white man could
legally marry negress.
Smith heard of the steps taken to Sc
cure his discharge and attempted to
justify his action by proclaiming that
he had only followed the example set
by his commander in-chief, the presi-
dent, saying that ''if the head of the
army thought negro good enough to
eat with, a negress was good enough
to become the wife of Private Smith. "
The higher-up officials of the war de,
pertinent were excited when the va
rious communication poured in upon
them. Each sought to shift response
bility. All the documents were laid
before Judge Advocate General Davis
for an opinion.
