SENATOR Dron-n, of Georgia. Tucnday spoke HIP prevai l ing Mnt imenU f the Bouthern detnocrncy.whon lie done inccd tho internal t ax Ia\v8 ax U'lng lioHlile In the Kpirit of o u r government anil of out iofttitutionH, anil only JiHtilialilc l>y ex-Iraordinnry rmergencics. It if d u u U f n l whe the r Mr. Cleveland is capidile of comprehend ing t h e extent of thu blow t h a t ^ a ^ given lo his rash and crude as-saul t on the sys tem of protection by J o h n HhemianV mas te r ly speech. But he can nndein tand the solidity and for-mldablences of t h e opposition to his Free Trade schemes, tha t b s o forcibly repre-sented b y the incontestable f a t t and

unanswerab le a rgumen t s of t h e Georgia Senator , w h o sjieaks for Southern enter-prise and industr ies as well as for the Democrat ic principles of bis region.

Mr. Cleveland knows very l i t t le about Jefferson, bu t he knows t h a t Jefferson s n a m e and au thor i ty are |>owerful in Ihe South and tha t no Democrat ic President can persuade Soul h e m Democrats I h a :

Sena tor Brown U not expound ing an-cient par ty principles when he can say. as h e does, wi th t r u t h , tha t 'T re s iden t Jefferson, in his first a n n u a l m e u a g i , recommended tlie abolition of the inter-nal revenue sys tem and dicussed ihe principles involved with master ly abii

i t y . This f a t h e r of tho Democracy urg-ed re j^a l because there was no emergen-cy to J i s t i f y the con t inuance of inle r-nal taxes no r to war ran t the taxat ion of industries t o accumula te treasure. Con-gress prompt ly repealed these laws and did away w i t h t h e a rmy of unnecces-sary ofllcers. Mr. Jefferson, coinment-i n g upon t h e system, said there had al -

ready begun tha t progress of domicllary vexMion which once entered u|ion. m

scarcely to be restrained f r o m reaching successively every an i c l e of produce a n d profi t ."

Nor will it be pleasant for Mr. Cleve-land to find that in re turn fo r his loose declamation against ' 'monopolies" be has furnished Ihe Georgia Senator with the chance to direct his ugly fire against one of the meanes t , most dangerous and

most noxious of "monojHdies," viz., ihe powerfu l " W h i s k e y King," whose very existence depends on tho cont inuance of t h e whiskey t ax . And Sena tor Brown

shows tha t t h e main tenance of Ihe " R i n g " by the tax i* not in t h e interests of temperance , but qu i te t h e reverse. His f a d s are simply conclusive on t h u point. ••The production of 16?;," nays Mr. Brown, " added to the stock in bond at the beginning of the year , gave near ly

two and a qua r t e r gallons t o each man . woman and child in Ihe coun t ry . No other system will keep more 01. hand to tempt tho people, or keep so much when

t h e owner has lo protect his good.- at his own expense. Georgia lias paid since t h e war , unde r the In te rna l Revenue law, |22,750,000 into tho Federal Treas-ury , or about f 1,000,000 a year. This would almost pay the a m o u n t ot direct t ax levied by the Stale government ot Georgia fo r i u own suppor t and leave

t h e f a rmers and plantat ions, live stock and property almost free f rom taxation. Under S t a t e control offenders would In-

tried in the i r own counties, and there would bo a correction of t h e abuses of t h e present course of j u s t i ce . "

B e a n n g i n n n n d tha t iu over three-for ths of the counties of Georgia 1'rohi-bilion Is enforced by t h e authori t ies thereof. Senator Brown's fac ts have all the greater significance nnd conclusive-ness.—A". }'. Mail ami Etpreu.

I s speaking of Mr. Carlisle's apjwint-ments on committ ies, our Washington correejKindenl says;

A New ' iork member w h o is a s t rong supporter of the Adminis t ra i ion, was qu i te empha t i c in his denuncia t ion of t h e Speaker. H e excla imed: W h y he has given everything to t h e South and lef t us ou t in the eold. In looking over t h e lists I llnd this to be Ihe fac t . There are M commit tees , and of this number t h e Sou the rn S ta tes have t h e cha i rman, ships of 32 which would r a t h e r confirm the New York member in his assertion. Missouri has t h e t h a i r m a n a h i p of live commit tees , 31a sachuset ls one, Arkan-sas lias thrt-e cbuirmanshii is . the great S ta te of Iowa only one. Georgia has four a u d Minnesota none. Texas has three a n d >\ isconsin only one. 1'ennsyl-van ja , t h e keystone State has only two while K e n t u c k e y has four . And so 1 might go on Uirough the en t i re list and show the part ial i ty of a Speaker, w h o pretends to desire to blot ou t all section «U»tn- I do not wonder t ha i Northern and Western men use l anguage In d u -cusing this condition of affairs tha i would indicate a forget fulness of earlv Sunday School t raining.

Tills question of wages is the core of the tariff a rgumen t . C m »teel rails

m a n u f a c t u r e d hen- stand for belter-paid labor t h a n the English rails. Al every s tage of tlie complex proct-ss of

conver t ing t h e raw mater ia l of the mines into the finished product , higher wages have been |>aid t i Amer ican workmen than corresponding classes of foreign workmen receive. The Uri i l protect* tlie miners , the handlers of tlie ore in sh ipment by rail or water , and even-g roup of mechanics employed in fur-nice, foundry and rolling-mill . At every stag.- Islwr is protected and wages raised above thu Eun)|ieaii level. The finished product lepresents U t te r , jrtid laltor all the way f rom the mine t o the road-lied where t h e rails are laid.

The t endency of Democrat ic legislation is to lower the clandard ot wog«* in

every field of industry. Republican leg islators have always protected A m e r i -can '.abor nnd will cont inue to do so.

SOME of t h e f ree t r ade Democratic newspapers a r e f rank enough to a d m i t tha t t h e only reason w h y the internal revenue sys tem is not a t t acked by t h e adminis t ra t ion is because i u abolition would abolish the su rp lus nnd take a w a y the excuse which t h e surplus gives fo r a t t ack ing the tariff . Producers , m a n u f a c t u r e r s and work ingmen know w h a t to expect .

THE r i g h u of the industr ies of a c o u n t r y to tai iff protec tion is being oddly i l lustrated now by Mexico, which pro-

poses to put a heavy export d u t y on na t i ve iron ore, so a s t o keep it in the c o u n t y and promote t h e smelt ing in-dus t rv .

FRKK ir.ule must inevitably lower wages, for wi thout cheaper labor Amer-ican manf sc tu r e r s cannot cont inue to comjiete wi th foreign rivals if the tariff IK- scahd down. The Democratic pa r ty is now commit ted to the policy of " r a id ing" t h e tariff and thereby an-tagonizing the interests of working people. Higbt-minded men. who believe t h a t the x landa id of wages should lie ns high as possible, should labor all I his year for the t r iumph of the Republican par ty .

LAUAII is a Supreme Court Jus t l c , by t h e grace of Riddleberger, Stewar t nnd Stanford . Out upon such republicanism ns theirs. Thei r const i tuents should see to it lhat those genl lemen never again "ofl icial ly" see Washington.

" T h e r e , " said ihe offic.'r lo my In-f o r m a n t . ns Ixitli were go ing a b o u t a g rea t , cen t r a l slat ion, w here cars aud locomot ives were minlc. lopnired aud kept , " t h e r e is the very man.

T h e road Is g r a t e f u l to him. nud will a lways hold h im in h o n o r . "

M a n y yonrs have e lapsed s ince the inc ident happened; m a n y more since the t e l l ing of Ihe tnlo to my f r i end . The de ta i l s ami thu coloring vary s o m e w h a t ns lliey pass f r um mou th to mouth . No doubt , when you have finished Ihe story, you will say: " W h y , tha t was the very t h i n g I would havo ilono myse l f . " But would you havo done it? Here is tlie s tory :

Pull! Puff! Puff! It was hard w o r k ; for tho g r a d e was s leep ami Ihe t ra in long nnd heavy. The engine pan t ed as if i t s s t rength were fai l ing. And no w o n d e r ! For miles ami miles up tho s lopes of the Al l eghany Mounta ins It h a d been l u g g i n g i ts precious bur-den, a n d there were m a n y miles m o r e before i t should reach the .summit and t a r r y awhi le to r ega in i ts s'.rongt!i.

Much of the w s y was Utile m o r e t han a shelf cu t in to the m o u n t a i n sides, wi th r is ing wai ls of ruck on ono hand , a n d {deep r av ine s on the other. Aud f a r up a m o n g tho mounta ins , o f ten on Ihe opposi te shies of huge a n d g loomy chasms, tlie obse rvan t t r a v e l e r would catch gl impses of w h a t seemed to be curvcs and omlmukmcnt s of a n o t h e r road. L a ' e r he would be h imsel f borne over those very c h a s m s and whir led around those very curves.

These chaiigii ig scenes kept t h e pas-s e n g e r s in a t r e m o r of ha l f - joyful , ha l f -anxi i ius cxcllemeii t .

" O h , here comes some irestle-xvork! H o w f r a i l it looks! And what a dizzy h e l g h l ! If it should break unde r ns— oh, d e n r ! "

J u s t then a quick, s h a r p whist le was hoard .

The I n l r r l s l l n i Views of Ike I.ale llr. •> U. Holland.

Tho colums of t h e newspapers apjiecr to be flooded wi th propr ie tary med ic inead-ver t i smenU. A s w e cast our eye over them, ic brings t o m i n d nn ar t ic le tha t was published by t h e la te Dr. Holland in Scribner 's Monthly . H e says: "Never theless , i t is a f a c t t h a t m s n y of the lieet propr ie tary medicines of t h e d a y were moru successful t h a n m a n y physicianb. and m o s t of t h e m , i t should

be remembered, were a t first discovered or used in a c t u a l medical practice. W h e n , however , any shrewd person, knowing their v i r tue , and foreseeing their popular i ty , secures aud adver t ises t h e m , then , in t h e opinion of t h e bigot-ed, all v i r tue w e n t ou t of t h e m . "

Is not this absu rd ? This great m a n appreciated the real

mer i t s of popular remedies, ond the ab-surd i ty of those t h a t derided t h e m be-

c a i u e public a t ten t ion was called to t h e ar t ic le a n d the ev idence of the i r cures. If t h e most no ted physician should an-nounce t h a t ho h a d made a s t udy of a n y cer tain o rgan or disease of tho body , or make his sign larger than the code size, though h e may havo pract iced modicine and been a leader in dil medi-cal counsels, m t wi ths tanding all this, if he should p resume to advert ise and de-cline to give Ills discovery to t h e public, ho would be pronounced a quack and a h u m b u g , a l t hough he may have spent his eqt i re life a n d all his available f u n d s

in perfect ing his investigations. Again we say , " a b s u r d . " If an ulcer is f o u n d on one's a r m , a n d

is cured by some dear soul of a grand-mother , o u u i d e of code, it will be pro-nounced by t h e medical profeiwion an ulcer of l i t t le importance. But if t reated under t h e code, causing sleepless n ighU for a m o n t h , w i t h tbe scientific

t r ea tment , viz., plasters, washes, dosing wi th morphine, arsenic and o the r vile substances, given to prevent blood pois-oning or deaden pain, and ye t t h e ulcer becomes ma l ignan t , a n d amputa i ion is made neccessary a t lar t , to save life, ye t all done according to t h e " Isms" of t h e medical code, th is is m u c h more g ra t i fy ing to t h e medical or ifession, at .d adds more d igni ty lo tha t dist in-

guished order tbtin to Ut cured by t h e dear old g r andmothe r ' s remedy.

This appears like a severe ar ra ign-ment , ye t we believe tliat it expresscss the t r u e s t and ing of the medical profess-ion in regard to remedies discovered outs ide of the i r special " i sms . " One of t h e mos t perplexing th iogs of the day is t h e popularity of cer tain remedies, es-pecially W a m a r ' s sa fe cure, which we find for sale everywhere , Tliy physi-

cian of the higher.: s tanding is ready to concede its m e r i u and sustuin tlie theories the propr ie tors m a d e - t h a t is, t h a t It bene f lu In most of tho a i lmenU of the humao naystem because it assists in pu t t ing the kidneys in proper condi-tion, tboreby a id ing in Ihrowing off the impurit ies of t b e blood, wbi le o thers with less honesty and ex|)erience deride, and are willing to see their pAtient d-e scientifically, und aecordlug to the code, ra ther t han have h i m cured by Ibis great remedy.

Yet wo not ice t l iat the popular i ty of the medicine cont inues to g row year by year . The discoverer comes boldly be-fore the people wi th i u merits , and pro-claims them f r u m door lo door in our opinion much m o r e honorably t han the physician who, perchance, may secure a pet ient f rom some catastrophe, ami Is
