CULP. Billy Owens voted against tariff reform.

Billy Owens voted against free lumber, free salt, free wool, and offered in lien therfor free whisky ani free tobacco. In 1860 the republican party referred te our country’s flag as a ‘‘polluted rag, ’ and yelled “tear down the flaunting lie.” To-d iy ) the samo party use miniature representations of it for “noserags” _____ The Mills bill passed the Hons o last Saturday by a majority of 13' It reduces the republican 47 per cent, tariff to 42, leaving duties still at a higher point than at any time during the war, and republicans have the gall to declare it free trade. Free lumber, free salt, free wool, free raw materials generally is a free trade which will give better wages to labor, and to the people better and. cheaper houses, food, clothes, furniture, fuel, medicines, et«., etc. It may lessen the profits of the Carnegies and the Jones’, but the wages of their employee will be advanced. Free wool will give impetus to to the manufacture of woolen goods, increase productions, create a demand for labor, open the markets of the world for the surplus products, and the wage-work-ers will secure steady employment and better wages. A natural result which protectionists can not gotttrovert.

Demoetate favor free lumber, free wool, free salt, etc. Republicans favor —free wh sky and free tobacco.

The Democratic Central CctnmitLe, for this count: Lon been called io meet at the office of Drs. J. H. Dt ughridge & Son. The Indianapolis -Journal, republican state organ, says: “Democratic free trade would destroy trusts.” Certainly, and the masses desire that trusts and combines be destroyed. Colonel Fellows, of New York’ never made happier use of his wonderful faculty for scoring telling political points than be did m his allusion, in a recent speech, to “the assemblage of railway officials which. recen dy convened in Chicago and labelled itself the Republican convention.”

“X e Democrat will not depend upon contributions of charity,” etc —Democrat. When it is remembered that the Democrat is the only paper in the county started with contributions, and the only one to-day owing its existence to that source of supply, the gall and cheek of the above declaration is unprecedented. We congratulate the Democracy of Jasper on the zoal displayed by D. W. Shields, Austin Lakin, John Ryan and Wm. Wells, committee on organization cf leugueo, in their efforts in that direction.— Freliiitina. y steps have b ki'jjj. inker* which, it is expected, will reeul. ij_ thorough organisation throughout, the county at an early day.

Let our Democratic boys pow prepare for thorough organizationIt is not necessary for us to go yelping at their heels “Wake Up!’ 1 “B cads Up 1” etc. Only those anxious to establish their identity with them wiU do that. We acknowledge to no one the right to command “goon.” AII take a hand —all are leaders. Fort Worth (Texas) Gazette: “It is said that Hon. J. W. Bailey of Gainesville will go to Indiana to aid in the canvass there. Texas should send words of encouragement and good cheer to the struggling Democrats of the Hoosier state, and from no tongue could they fall more gracefully or with more honeyed eloquence than from that of the gallant young orator of the county of Cooke.”

Our neighbcr quotes from a number of English journals to prove that President Cleveland’s message and the Mills bill are free trade documents. Those journals know full well that raw materials added to the natural advantages and improved machinery of American manufactories will place ,he products of this country in the markets of the world in competition. Hence, if those journals can influence opposition to the policy they will be doing their own country a great service. I»ut our neighbor don’t seem to catch on to their game.

Hon. D. S. Early, of Harrisburg, . Penn’a, who was the GreenbackLabor candidate for Congress in 1880, and for Auditor General in 1886, has come out strong for President Cleveland and 1 he Democratic party. Mr. Early says that the Democratic party has redeemed all the pledges it made four years ago, while the Republican party has been faithless to all its pledges. He says Mr. Cleveland has economically and wisely administered the affairs of the country, and his tariff views are sound. Mr. Early has a large following in Pennsylvania, who view the situation in the same light, and have signified their intention to support Ihe Democratic national ticket. |

The Democrat prints witbfereat j gusto some good words from the •he next rep resen iatative in Congress from this district, Hon. Y. Zimmerman. Mr. Z. “is all right” He has no acquaintance with Bro. James, printer, and proprietor of the office, and for aught he knows, editor, etc. In order to share in these euiogiums, Brother James, late republican consul to Turk i land, postmaster, etc., should cast aside his claim to being a thoroughbred, and emblazon his name alongside that of Jno. W. Sickels.

Now, after the republican national convention has proclaimed in favor of free whisky and tobacco, and opposition to a reduction of high tariff duties and free raw materials, the Senators of that that party conclude, since the passage of the Mills bill, that the tariff does require revision and they will prepare a substitute for the measure adopted by the House.— The Democratic House has performed its duty in the premises. Let the republican Senators bear the responsibility if relief is not afforded the people this session.
