DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic voters of Jasper county, and all other enemies of monopolies, trusts and combines, who believe that the adoption of of Democratic principles are essential to the welfare of the whole people, are requested to meet in mass convention at the usual,voting places, in the various townships, on SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1890, at 2 o’clock p. m., to transact the following business: Ist. Appoint a committee of three, who, with the chairman of township committee shall prepare a complete and accurate poll of the voters of the township, the same to be delivered to the chair** man of the central committee on the date of the county convention.

2d. Select such other committees as may in the judgment of the convention be necessary to a com-* plete and thorough organization of tLe party in the township. 3d.

We advise everybody to answer all the questions propounded by the census enumerators, fully and truthfully. As the New York Herald says: The census schedules are prepared by authority of congress.— The law requires the ques ions put by the enumerators to be answered, and prescribes a flue of SIOO for refusal. That is a valid law if congress had the power to pass it. Until repealed or amended by congres3 it must be obeyed or its pen »lty paid. The assumption is in favor of its validity. Hence any person who disobeys it is liable to arrest, arraignment and fine. It can be declared uncons.itutional and set aside only by a federal judge in the first instance and finally by the U.B. supreme court. If the question were raised it wo’d probably go to Washington for settlement.

1 he McKinley bill, if it becomes a law, will, it is estimated, impose nearly seventy-four millions of new taxes upon the American people. On the basis of present imports the increase on chemicals will be over $2,000,000; on earthenware and crockery over $6,000,000; on nietsds over $9,000,000; on tobacco nearly $18,000,000; on agricultural products ovcr$8,000,000; on cotton goods over $1,500,000; on hemp, flax and jute nearly $7,000,000, and on sundries about $2,000,000. After deducting the sugar tax repealed, the people will be taxed $18,000,000 more thau at present. This is what revising the tariff “by its f iends” means

The full meaning of a “home market” is only grasped when it is known that our protected manufacturers charge our buyers from 10 to 30 per cent, more for the same goods than they do foreign buyers.

Our farmer friends who may rejoice in the “home market” “secured” to our manufacturers may like to know how it works. Here are some examples: In the “home market” 111 is the price of a hoe cultivator; the same from the same American manufacturer the foreigner gets for $8.40. Shovels m the “home market,” $9.20 a dozen; burnished to the foreigner at $7.86. Axes that cost the American $7.76 a dozen are PPj r ° l 1 Its 1 t s 0 i’oign market at vb ( 5.

For post hole diggers the American pays sls a dozen; the foreigner $12.33A circular sa w the foreigner bu\s from the American man ufacturer for $25.55; the American in the “home market’’ pays S3O. And so on.

Taking the tax off raw sugar and leaving it on refined is not going to benefit the people much. It will enable the refiners to get their raw sugar cheaper and sell the refined sugar at better profit than now. • ® remarkable case on record m thal; of the Yankee soap man, who, in • violent stem at sea, saved himself 53 th » cak® of his own *oap and washing himself ashore,

VETERANS OF THE CIVIL WAR

As a part of the census of the people to be taken during the month of June special provision has been made by Congress for ascertaining the names of surviv-. ing soldiers, sailors and marines who were mustered int the serviee of the United States during th? war of the rebellion, and of the widows of soldiers, sailors and marines who have died. In connection with this special census of veterans the organization or vessel in which they served, the term of service in each case, and present residence will be taken by the census enumerators. In the case of widows, information regarding the service of their deceased husbands is also required. The importance of accurate statements concerning the military record of each participant in the late war should not be underestimated. It should be the duty, moreover, of every veteran soldier or sailor to see that the enumerator is placed in possession of the neceesary information concerning his own service. It he can not be at home when the enumerator calls he should leave a nroper memorandum in the hands of his wife or other member of his household, so that the work of the census may not be delayed, and also that there may be no doubt as to the accuracy of the statements con*» cerning hi* eervice which may be given to the census onumerator.— That there may be no question as to the points to be covered by this memorandum, it may be well to state that the special inquiries to be made concerning the veterans of the civil war include the name, the company, and the regiment or vessel in which they served, their late rank, the dates of enlist men and discharge, the length of service in years, months, and days, and their present post-office address. Where a soldier or sailor re -eulisied or served in more than one organization or vessel, he should be very careful to give the term of service in each instance, and i/r cover each enlistment In giving the organization care sho’d be taken to distinguish the arm of the service, as infantry, cavalry, artillery, efo., and if a person served under an assumed name, his statement should be made to cover both the name under which he served and the true name by which he is now knr wn.

Veterans of the war generally will recognize and appreciate the value of this special census to them, and they should aid the census enumerators in getting true state-* ments in every way possible.— Without their co-operation correct results can not be reached. This personal appeal is made to them, therefore, in the hope that their attention may be speciallv directed to the importance of this work and the necessary information m iy be promptly supplied to the e nsus enumerator when he calls some time during the month of June.

The most outrageous of all the reports made by the house committee on elections is that in the case of McDuffie vs. Turpin, of the Fourth Alabama District. Turpin's majority, as certified by the Secretary of , State of Alabama, was 13,153. The committee “after weighing all the evidence in the case,” has transformed this into a majority of 4,481 for McDuffie, the contestant.
