BUNKER MILL.

SbecidI 10 the Ne70S.
see that there are several kicking
at the laws under democratic adj
ADMINISTRATION of Tennessee. 1t does look
foolish to me that a man will give
another man stick to knock him
down with, and then get mad at him
If he just even staggers him. The de-
mocrats have just staggered you now,
but send them to Washington and give
them full power and then they will
knock you down and stamp ON you.
AS to the State laws, the laboring
man has none. 1t is in favor of the
money power. Everytime that they
can get up something to get little
money out of the hands of the labor
ing man. As to country laws, the
men in power make them to fill their
own pocket.
Look at our county here where 1
J live. If an outlaw was to come and
rob or kill man, we would have to go
ten miles before we could get a war
rant or any one to serve it. | believe
that Altamont is the nearest place
where there is deputy sheriff. There
is nest of republicans around here
and those fellows around Altamont
dom recognize us fellows because we
are pure republicans and stand square
for our rights. The school law-we
have none, nor school, either. We
have turned it over to them to do as
they want to with it, and, of course,
they will do as they please with the
poor class until there are several kegs
of powder burned, and it will soon be
done if there is not change some
way, for they are forcing the poor
class to do something, either to fight
for their rights or be crushed down by
the money power. They have come
to the point where they price your Ia
Dor, they price your corn, your hay,
potatoes and everything yOu nave tc
SELL They have the price ready for il
as soon as you are ready to sell and II
you buy anything from them they have
got it priced too and the laborlng
man, who has to toll in the heat and
cold to produce a living for himself
and the moneyed man, too, can't have
word in pricing anything. Is il
right for labor to be crushed down il
such manner as thisY If you think
so Just vote for the two old parties
and it will get worse every time one
is elected, and if you think it is no
right, stand for labor, not politics. L
a man gets in Office it is a man tina
has got plenty to live on. They nevel
appoint laborihg man for anything
that there is any money in. If Their,
is a good paying Office, some maj
must have it that don't need it
when if they would give it to SOM
, man that was not able to work /
would look like business.
, But you see that the money powe
! all hang together shoulder to shoulder
' while labor is divided, giving thu
money power all the chance to handl
them. 1t looks like any man that ha
got eyes could see how everything /
running.
"Watchman" thinks We writer i
crazy. SO he is, but he can't help it
: He worked a half day Sunday an
} thought it was Saturday. Now,
. want to know of the correspondent
which is the worst, to work on Sunda
/ not knowing it, or for preacher t
: buy hubby seed and sell goods on Sun
day knowing at the time it was Sun
day. l don't think that God holds
man responsible for doing thin
, through ignorance but send the calen
dar or almanac or chicken leg or
: ham.
Everything is lovely at our house to
day. The old lady has got a ten poun
girl.
