1--WE have had three panics since
1850, and all three Of them came under
high tariffs and two Of them under
Republican Presidents. The panic Of
10 came under the Morrill, high tariff;
The panic of 93' under the Mckinley
high tariff-a year before that law was
repealed. The panic Of '07 came I'M
der the Dineley high tariff. Here we
have every panic in the last As years
coming while high tariff law was In
force. The tariff is panic breeder
and those who favor high tariff are
impotept to protect their country from
business depression.
Statistics show there were more bus
mess failures the irst nine months of
this year than there were the first
nine months of 1883 or the first nine
months of 1893. The failures were
greater during the first nine months
Of this year under the Dingley high
tariff than they were in 1895 or 1896
under the Wilson bill. And yet, in
spite of THE record, Mr.. Taft has the
audscity to threaten panic If sala-
rles are Withdrawn from Republican
officials. Il is time for the Repuhli-
can leaders to explain why these pan
les have come under the highest tariff
rates this country has known.

Some Of our Frienos are son

Some Of our frlenos are somewhat
disturbed over the odds in the betting
in the sporting circles in favor of Taft.
1t will DO remembered that the bet
ting among these same people in 1892
ran at bigger odds in Harrison's favor
than thsy do now for Taft and yet
there was hardly ever a candidate foi
the Office beaten worse THAI Harrison
that year.
The people are for Bryan and be
will be elected unless the electors is de-
oauched by Roosevelt and his minions

Our friend Charles Peter Light has
been after his ola tricks In trying to
fool the taxpayers of tho county as to
the trend Of taxation. Last week he
had long list of taxpayers in his
Journal comparing their taxes last
year and three years ago The last
given by him was from Falling Waters
district, but he did not tell these peo-
pie that since the state machine read
listed the valuation few years ago
and temporary cut down taxes, the
tendency has been up. The State ma
chine fore-seeing the liability Of the
State for the Old Virginia debt devised
the scheme Of raising the valuation of
all the taxable property preparatory to
the payment OF the bond holders, some

chine and here is where the beauty of
ne tax reform scheme comes in.
But to return to Falling Waters tax
payers, let us compare their taxes forr
1907 with those for 1908. Read TO

The humiliation which Mr.. VII.
Lamon has suffered at the hands of
the gang who nave ruthlessly and, as
he says, through fraud, thrust him of
the republican ticket is most CALLING
to any self-respecting man to say moth
ing of the pain and suffering to his
family. 1t had teen better for him
and the party both to have gone en-
and been beaten than to have
pursu I'd the course they have. 1t is no
disgrace to be beaten at the polls bit
to be kicked off the ticket by ma.
chine makes fellow feel like he had
been kicked of the face Of the earth.

An Open Letter.

To my friends and fellow co-work-
ers for half century II the ranks OF
the Republican party in Berkely coun-
ty:
G ntlemen: My sense Of duty and
justice to NY par is outraged, be-
cause OF my inalten,ior, want of re-
flee ion and meditation, which per-
milted the bosses to usurp the peoples
rights and thereby hove idisfranchised
me and all other Republicans, more
especially the Lincoln Republican
This was NEST strlkingly anS effective
ly contaminated by lavish expendi-
lture of money in both county, state
and national primaries. W ho are DOM
IN ating the politics in this country to-
day? 1t is Bowerism in the county;
! Swisherism IN the state and Roose-
| ye!tism in the nation. This bondage,
this oppression, these atrocities legal
jzea by the government, justifies the
| unfairness Of its agents who are but
| licensed bandits. Taking or stealing
our right OF franchise, our right OF suf-
frage the government connives at the
outrages perpetrated upon its people,
because we are the people and not
| predatory wealth. This is baser con-
duct than was ever charged to the
Hottentot.
This monarchial discipline making

W no is next heir to the highest office

and weighed by all intelligent think
ing men. In wickedness and Grim
Sitting Bull never conceived anything
| half SO wicked as Roosevelt's dictation
who should be next President, or Ell
kins to say who to be Governor,
or Bowers to say who should be next
Sheriff. Step by step the Republicans
have been waltzipg into line to the
| tune Of the bosses. Step by step we
have permitted ourselves to be correl-
led by bossism, the mem bers of which
if they were to commit the same acts
on their own responsibility and IN de-
pendent of tie Government, would be
sent to the penitentiary. Roosevelt is
christian and human it is true, bu'
only by spells. His benevolence and
philanthropy to the Republican party
sayors of the attitude of master and
slave. He is liberal with his sympa'
thies, but particular upon whom he
bestows them. Roosevelt dictates Taft
1.-THE man for our suffrage. In the name

our exalted chieftaln, without belize

acts of Roosevelt, picture our nation

ful? Restrained by laws and awed by
tho biz stick and dreading ipublit
op,nion we have been meek and man-
apeable as need be my fellow citizens.
Roosevelt denies you the right to say

Marietta, Ga, Oct. 1st, 1907.
To the Voters of the Blue Ridge Cir

Every man, rich or poor, Democrat,
Populisr, or Republican, should respect

deals with them, they should all be
dealt with fairly, justly and impartially,

l am member of the State Demo-
cratic Executive Committee from the
State at-Large, and l will advocate the
adoption and enforcement of rules
which will prohibit the use of money
whiskey, or any other things of value,
to buy votes or hire workers in any of
the primaries, and that will disqualify
| any person from being declared the
nominee of the party for any office, who
violates the rules OF the Committee.

A BIG STICK CONVENTION.

Bruised and stiff from their pain fh drubbing. the minority which went under the steam roller at Chi cago. bow to defeat. says the New York World.
 Beyond all others that any AmerE can political party has ever held, the one at Chicago was a cut-and-dried convention. Pen, bludgeon, guide-post or baton by turns, the Big Stick dom mated the situation.
 It was the Big Stick that prodded the federal employees. in defiance of civil service reform law or principle, into frantic activity for Taft; that marshalled the delegates; that club bed contestants out of court. The"Big Stick wrote the keynote speech, se- lected the committees of the conven- ton, called it to order, directed its nominal deliberations. Familiar Big Stick phrases and ideas fill the plat form that was given out in Chicago before the convention had even as- sembled-and the Big Stick brands this same platform, full of praise of the Big Sticks past performances and promises for the future. The Big Stick scrawled on the. convention door the names of approved vice-presiden. tial candidates, to the impotent anger of republican managers, and nailed down the anti-injunction plank while conservative leaders shrieked them selves hoarse in vain protest. The Big Stick waved over apprehensiye monopofes, will provide the campaign funds; it will admonish the spelIbind CTS. lead the bands, conduct the cam paign and wear the credit of the re suit.
