Hon. A. S. Montgomery went to
Nashville Tuesday with the possible
intention cf getting into the fight for
the office of Secretary Of State. Mr..
Montgomery, as Pictorial Representa-
tive from Madison and Henderson
counties, had fine standing in the last
Legislature-and some fifty members
Of that body were reelected to either
the Senate or the House. Mr.. Mont
gomery is business man and would
make the State first-class official.
Curry Dennison, Of the old 18th
district, was in town last week and
gave us call. Curry says he has the
skillet in which was cooked the bread
on which Uncle Bob Dennison and his
brothers were raised. Uncle Bob
died about thirteen years ago, in his
Gath year-so curry's skillet is an an
cient one. Curry says he has a claw
hammer over 100 years old. Lawyer
Watt Dennison, of Lexington, is now
shaving with razor which Uncle
Bob Dennison's father-in-law, Philip
Walker, had in his hand when he fell
in stroke of paralysis, which re-
suited in Mr.. Walkers death-prob-
ably rs years ago.

Whatever else the new and over
whelming Republican Congress does,
it must not fail to overhaul the tariff
tax on imported goods and see to it
that all duties are put high enough to
protect" the infant" industries of
this country. Also, the labor of this
country, which, by organization,
prods its good wages out of the Sin
fants" by the use of a very sharp and
pointed stick, must be protected from
the "pauper" working people across
the waters. Those paupeds over
there, if not taxed out, will ruin us
here-but anywhere else in the world
except in the United States, we can
meet their prices and still make mon
ey, The farmer especially must also
be protected-and the way to do it
is to enable the manufacturers to get
more for everything the farmer
wears on his body and uses in his
home and on the farmland with the
understanding that the farmer must
sell the surplus of his products in the
open markets of the world. That old
tariff scheme, worked on the farmer,
is the most colossal piece of humbug-
gerry ever pulled off in the manage
ment of governments-but Barnum
said the American people loved to be
humbugged.
