BRYAN DISCUSSES
TARIFF QUESTION

TWO DOMINANT PARTIES IN THIS CAMPAIGN

could draw on their own accounts.
Ex-Sccretary Shaw SAYS that the strin-
gency OF 1907 was "the severest the
world has ever Witnessed With this
panic fresh in his mind. is 1t not
strange that he should argue that his
election is necessary to prevent a
panic?
! have referred to two Of the thrse
papics, both OF these coming under
conditions which compel the Republic
an party to accept the responsibility
for them Now let us consider the
panic OF 1898 If that could be prop
erly charged to the Democratic party,
/, would only be one Democratic panic
TO two Republican panics. But can it
be fairly charged TO the Democrats?
lt came, ii Is true, q few months after
the Inauguration Of a Democratic pres
dent but it came while The McKin-
ley high tariff was still in effect aud
before a single Republican law had
been repealed, and il came from
causes that were in operation before
the election. In fact 1t was the failure
OF the Republican party to do its duty
and satisfy ihe people that brought
about a Democratic victory, aud these
causes would have brought on a panic,
even If the Republican party had re-
manned IN power Now this is The
record. and yet, In spite OF this rec
ord, the Republican candidate pre-
smes TO threaten panic In case Of
Democratic success.
The third proposition which the pro-
tectionist must establish. namely. that
the tariff asked for is necessary. rs
still less considered 1t is true that
we pay higher wages per day than are
paid elsewhere, but that does not nee
essarily mean that the actual labor
cost OF an article Is higher here than
abroad On the contrary. The rule is
that high priced labor produces q
cheaper article than lowpriced labor
Manufacturers Of hardware Will tell
you that they cat export hardware
which contains a great deal of labor
and a small amount of raw material,
but that they cannot export hardware
in which the raw material constitutes
a large proportion of the value We
are sending manufactures of steel all
over the world The steam engine,
for instance, Is made by skilled labor.
and vet we have no fear OF foreign
competition even IN ine foreign mar
kets Our agricultural machinery s
made by skilled labor and yet we OK
port ii to all countries. Our sewing
machines are manufactured by skilled
labor. but the American traveller finds
our sewing machines everywhere; and
the list could he extended indefinitely.
For twenty-five years the American
working man has been told that he re-
coivps higher wages than the English
workman solely because OF protection,
but our wage earners now know that
this cannot be due to protection, be.

attacked the Republican tariff revision

not justified When it included in its
platform the declaration that "the peo-

jion OF this important work 10 a party
which Is SO deeply obligated to the

We have had three panics since the

panic Of 1907 The panic Of 1873 came
after the Republican party had been

The panic Of 1907 came after the
Republicans had been IN complete
control OF the federal government for
more than ten years. They had had

TWO MEN SHOT
In a Quarrel in Montgomery
County Tennessee.

GAINESVILLE, April 16.-About noon
today an ARRAY in which several
shots were fired, took place near the
blacksmith shop of F. M. Adkins in
New Providence, in which Joe Ger
hart and Ben Rinehart were the
principals.
The shooting resulted in Gerhart
receiving two wounds, one in the
hand and flesh wound in the neck.
Tom Williams, who lives in District
No. 3, and who was only short dis
lance away, received a wound in the
hand, caused, it is supposed in an
attempt to grab Gerhart's pistol.
The Sheriff was notified and i'm
mediately went to the place of the
shooting, where he arrested
Rinehart, Gerhart having come
to GAINESVILLE, where his wounds
were dressed by DR.. Hughes.
Tom Williams, who was shot in the
hand, was seen by a reporter and
stated that Rinehart was the aggres-
sor in the ease from the first and it
seemed that Gerhart had tried to
avoid trouble. Rinehart fired four
times and Gerhart shot once.

Important Improvement To
Be Made In Riverside
Cemetery.
WORK NOW UNDER WAY
A Lake To Be Made In The
Unoccupied Part of The
Grounds.

A very important improvement is
now being made in Riverside Gene
terry, which will add greatly to the
beauty of the cemetery. A boule-
ward more than mile in length is
being constructed entirely around
the Cemetery. 1t starts at the
southern entrance, skirts the bank
of the river until it reaches the rail-
road bridge, curves grac efully to
the north and continues along the
eastern edge Of the Cemetery, in
front of the houses and lots fronting
on the railroad, purchased in 1906,
and turning westward passes be-
tween the pond in what is now call
ed the pasture and the northside
fence and running southwest con-
meets with the extreme northern
driveway in the new cemetery,
which is connected with the north
ern entrance.
/ Workmen are now engaged in
grading the boulevard, which is over
uneven ground next to the river.
The pond on the north side is to be
dredged out, deepened, cleared of
willows and converted into a pretty
little lake. The improvements will
be made under the direction of the
cemetery committee composed OF
councilmen Carroll, Randle and Da-
Wis.
All of the vacant unplatted
ground in the cemetery will be cul-
tivated this year, having been leased
to Tom Thomas. who lives at the
Sites place just north of the ceme-
terry.

confessed their part in the organiza-
ton, will be mustered into the SER
vice of the State Guard by Major
Albrecht upon his arrival in Murray.
This will be done IN order that the
men can be held as witnesses and al
the same time keep them from 60

coming to them from the men impli-
Gated by them in their confessions.

A New Juror.

7. w. Patterson, a farmer of the
south part of the county, qualified
as J. G. Wells successor at noon and
began work with the grand jury this
afternoon. Mr.. Patterson will add
materially to the personnel of the
grand jury.
William Tinsley, bondsman for Joe
Bell, reputed captain of the night
riders, has surrendered Bell and
asked to be relieved from his bond.
Tinsley is executive committeeman
of the Planters Protective Associa-
ton. He took Bell home with him
to give him a chance to secure an
other bond, but declined TO DE Sc
curity for him any longer. 1t is con-
sidered the first answer to the de-
mand of the Rev. H. Boyd Taylor,
the Baptist minister, that the associ-
alton not only denounce night riding,
but that its members aid in the ar
rest and conviction of them.

More Men Confess.

Two prominent men for whom
warrants were issued have left the
country, and many other cases of
mysterious disappearance are re-
ported. Frank Boatwright hurried
into Murray when he heard he was
wanted, to explain his connection
with the night riders. He said he
Joined under compulsion, but had
never participated in any raids. He
was told that he would have to 90
on the next one, whether he wanted
to or not. Others are confessing,
and the evidence is piling up so fast
the grand jury cannot handle it.
Consequently Judge Wells has re-
opened his court of inquiry, the
militia has stopped serving warrants
and the men are summoning wit
nesses.
AL Perry. who was whipped, has
Joined the militia.
More Indictments.
Twenty more indictments were
brought in today by the grand jury.
Some of the cases probably will be
tried at this term Of court. One of
the defending attorneys told the
correspondent that he would an
nounce ready in some of the cases
and that he was certain about the
result of the trials. He admitted
that their defense would be an at
tempt to establish an abb.

ALSO SQUEALS
Second Man to Turn States
Evidence In Galloway
County.
DIR. BLALOCK BAGGED.
Grand Jury Brings in the
First Batch of Indict-
ments.
DIR. BLALOCK BAGGED.

Murray, KY, April lett is
known that at least one indict-
ment has been returned by the
grand jury at Murray which is in
vestigating the raids by the night
riders, and nine arrests have been
made on the strength of the confess
sions which were made by two of the
night riders. Additional troops
reached Murray yesterday and the
situation seems brighter now, al
though there was talk of a demon
stration by the night riders to show
their strength. More arrests prob
ably will be made if it is shown that
the grand jury will act.
Aside from the indictments known
to have been found by the grand
jury nine other arrests were made at
the instance of Judge Wells on the
information given to him by the
confession of Macon Champion and
Wiley Stewart, two of the band who
participated in several of the raids.
These arrests will be followed by
others just as fast as the county
officials and the soldiers can serve
the warrants and bring the men t.
town.
The men arrested and brought in
to town on warrants issued by Judge
Wells are all from the eastern Sec
ton of the county. They are DR.. E.
L. Blalock, Hardin Lovett, William
Williams, Turner Mccall, Arthur
Felix, Dallis Vim, L. Jones and
Thomas McQuiston. DR.. Blalock is
one of the most prominent physicians
of Galloway county, and his arrest
came as a complete surprise to his
friends in Murray.
While it is not known tonight
when the trials of any of the indict-
ed men will be held, it is believed an
effort will be made to dispose of
some of them at the present term of
court. The criminal docket of the
court was dispensed with yesterday,
and Commonwealth Attorney Den.
ny P. Smith said he was ready to go
on with the trials just as soon as the
grand jury had returned indict-
ments, and as the evidence is all now
at hand, it is believed Judge Wells
will ask that the trials be proceeded
with at once. Judge Wells is anX-
ious to have the question of law and
order settled at the earliest possible
moment, and as all of the evidence
now in his possession is ready for the
circuit court, either in person or in
it is likely that one of the
trials will be entered into at once.
