not stand. Therefore the Democratic
party will not stand.

THK TARIFF MTUULC.
The political sensation of tbe week
has been over the tariff hill pen lift*
before Congress for the j>&«*t seven
months. As Ls well known to the read
ing public, what is known as the Wil
son tariff bill passed the House over
three months ago. among other things,
placing sugar, coal and iron ore on the
free list. Six hundred and thirty four
amendments were tacked on to the
bill by the Senate, the most vital of
these being the placing of a duty of
I 40 per cent, ad valorem on all sugars,
a differential duty of *g of a cent per
pound additional on refined sugars,
w ith 40 cents per ton on irou ore and
coal. The bill, thus amended, went in
to the hands of a conference commit
tee of the two houses, to reconcile their
differences. For two weeks, the Item
ocratic members, who constitute a ma
jority of the conference committee,
have been endeavoring to do
this. They finally agreed to disagree
and report the result to their respec
tive houses. It was last Thursday
when Chairman Wilson, of the Ways
and Means committee, reported this
disagreement to the House and had
read, with the President's consent, a
“personal" letter from the President
to him (Mr. Wilson) dated July
2nd endorsing the Wilson bill and con
deming the action of the Senate, that
the sensation occurred.
Mr. Cleveland holds that one of the
cardinal principles of the Democratic
party on the tariff is that all raw ma
terials are to be placed on the free list,
and that to yield to the action of the
.Senate would be a betrayal of Demo
cratic principle and a repudiation
of party pledges which the party can
not, in honesty and good faith, consent
to. He further expresses the opinion
that to betray this principle, as the
Democrats of the senate propose to
do in order to favor certain combina
tions of capital, will be a death-blow
to the Democratic party from which it
cannot rally.
The reading of the letter was a start
ling surprise, and it is resented by
nearly every Democratic Senator, not
only as an impeachment of their De
mocracy, but an unwarranted attempt
of the executive to trench upon the
legislative department of the govern
ment. Senators Harris, Jones, Vest,
Dorman and other Democratic Sena
tors say the concessions in the bill
which the President now so strongly
condemns were agreed to with his full
knowledge and approval, as the best
that could be done under existing cir
cumstances, and, by implication they
charge Mr. Cleveland with acting in
bad faith and trying to “unload" on
the Senate to shield himself.
The House has instructed its con
ferees to stand by the House bill, and
up to last night the Senators were
still talking and had not acted. Alto
gether it is the most serious “family
row” by odds the Democrats have yet
had, and may result in the defeat of
all tariff,legislation at the present ses
sion.

Never before in the history of t his
country has there been a more thor
ough awakening of the plain common
people and a greater desire manifested
by all classes of our citizens to ascer
tain the cause or causes of the general
depression which overshadows every
industry and paralizes business than
now.
At Duntown on Thursday of last
week an assemblage of two thousand
people came together to hear the po
litical issues of the day discussed by
Dr. Drown of Columbus and the edi
tor of the Messenger. A more intelli
gent, earnest and well behaved an
dience it has never been our fortune
to meet anywhere, and we had the
gratifying assurance before wo left
that score of converts to the People’s
cause were made that day. The vast
crowd represented the four counties
of Lee, Prentiss, Itawamba and Union,
and the gratifying assurance w'as giv
en on every hand that the people were
arousing from their lethargy, and are
putting on the armor of patriotic citi
z.enship preparatory to the desperate
contest with plutocracy now pending.
On Friday Dr. Ilrown and this writer
mot and addressed a respectable au
dience at Athens Camp ground in
Monroe county, where the same deep
interest and determined purpose to
make every honorable and legitimate
effort to reclaim the country from the
grasp of the money devil and restore
it to the people, was apparent
to even the casual observer.
Reputable citizens were there,
who had never read a People’s
party paper and never before heard
Populist principles discussed, who
told us, that they were convinced as to
the correctness of our position and
that henceforth they would be found
squarely “in the middle of the road."
liut to us tue most surprising and
gratifying demonstration occurred at
Meridian on Saturday, where the Hons.
W. P. Ratliff, J. H. Jamison and the
Messenger editor addressed an au
dience of eight hundred voters, half
of whom at least were residents of the
city. At 11 o’clock Judge Terrell very
kindly adjourned his court that the
meeting might be held and every nook
anti corner of the large court room
was crowded to its utmost capacity
with farmers from the country, rail
road employees, business men, me
chanics and working men from the
city. lion. W. H. Stinson of Lauder
dale was chosen chairman and llro,
McAuliffe of the Meridian Times sec
r^ary of the meeting. A ringing pre
amble anil resolution was presented by
the committee, of which Mr. A. Stock
dale, President of the American Hail
way Uniou No. 137 was chairman, aud
it was unanimously adopted by a ris
ing vote.
The Associated Press usually tell
the public that such meetings were
composed in the main of Democratic
curiosity seekers, but this was one i
time when the indifferent looker on
was couspicious fur his ubseuce. The
harmony, unanimity aud earnestness,
of the proceedings was an eye opener!
to the machine Democracy, and taught
them the important lesson, that the
reform movement in this State has
pa**ed the stage where ridicule and
ahn«e would serve to check its growth.
We are told that many prominent bus
men of Meridian openly declare their
sympathy with the People's party and
avow their purpose to vote its ticket.
Verily the tidal wave has hit Missis
sippi and the earnest, faithful and
courageous reformers, who haw long
struggled under adverse conditions,
for right and justice, may now reason
ably hope that the day of his country's
deliverance is dawning, and ere long
the sun of prosperity will arise to
brighten the lives of our wronged
wage earners and to lighten the bur
den of our mortgaged wealth-produ
cers. God grant the hope may end in
the fullest fruition ! People's Mc»
nenger.

A i’oluled Talk l#y llro. Hoone to Chris- .
tian lolrrs.
I suppose no intelligent person dis
putes that the 2lst section of the Na
tional Democratic platform favors the
sale and use of whisky; and as it mor
ally certain that no one will be allow
ed to be a candidate for office by that
party unless ho unequivocally endorses
the platform as a whole, I want esspec
ially the Christians to know that to
cast their vote for a whisky party, is
ft> vote for a whisky man; that to vote
for such men is to have whisky laws,
and to bo cursed by the evils of intem
perance.
If no drunkard can inherit the king
dom of Heaven if it he "Woe unto
| him that giveth his neighbor drink.
! that puttest. thy bottle to him, and
inaketh him drunken" "That to
whom ye yield yourselves servants to
obey, his servants ye are" to vote for
the liquor interest is, I fear, to be
equally in danger with the drunkard
and drunkard-maker. To vote in the
interest of whisky is to be placed hope
lessly in the attitude of no escape
from punishment, for every sin will be
punished here or hereafter. The vo
ters for the liquor interest need not
hope to escape by the mere “Mercy
of God," for he is just also. To pray
for mercy and go on and vote wickedly
knowingly, is dire nonsense, for holy
writ is plain: "He that turneth away
his ear from hearing the law oven his
prayer shall bo abomination."
My brethren, you ought to say indi
vidually to yourselves, “If I regard in
iquity in my heart, the Lord will not
hear mo.” 1 am persuaded it is a re
gard for old /uirty ties, (not love for
red liquor), that causes Christians to
vote for the infernal liquor traffic.
And because they regard these wrongs
i < lod is not hearing them, and their
1 love for sin has brought the troubles
t upon us.
If God does not hear you because |
you “Regard iniquity in your heart,”
how can you believe God will fail to
“Reward every man according to
his works"?
Voting wrong is dangerous. The
remedy is “Let the wicked forsake his
way, and the unrighteous man his
thoughts; let him return unto the
Lord, and he will have mercy upon
him; and to our God, for he will abun
dantly pardon.”
Hate and forsake your sins, breth
ren, for you will be better for it. May
our blessed Lord’s dying prayer, in !
which ho prayed for a liko oneness
between brethren, as there was be
tween him and the Father bo answered
for all Christians.
Then we will all vote “The National
Prohibition party ticket.” May God
bless all of our enemies, if we have any.

The following self-explanatory reso
lution- were unanimously adopted by
the Mississippi Press Association in
convention at Greenwood. May 17,1891:
Whereas. Sections 4219 and 4220 of
the Annotated Code require that l>oards
of supervisors of the several counties !
let. to the lowest bidder, contracts for '
supplying county offices all stationery,
blanks, blank books, etc., declaring!
that, other things being equal, prefer
ence toe given to home offices; there
fore be it i
Resolved, That it is the duty of
boards of supervisors to carry out the i
provisions of the sections above cited,
uninfluenced by officials who may pre
fer to ignore the law. and send the
work to concerns outside the State,
which contribute nothing in the way
of taxes towards the support of the
home government.
Resolved further. That when con
tracts are let to home offices, that it is
the duty of State, county and city of
flcials to rigidly observe same by hav
ing all work coming under said con
tracts done at home, it having been the
practice of some officials to send their
orders abroad, even after home offices
had been awarded contracts to execute
them.
Resolved further. That the members
of the Mississippi Press Association
will hereafter monthly publish, in item
ized detail, all allowances made by
boards of supervisors and city officials,
of their respective counties and cities,
to concerns outside the State, bills for
most extravagant prices having been
frequently heretofore presented and t
allowed, the public being entitled to
this information.
Resolved further, That in the inter- ,
est of all concerned, (the debtor as
well as the creditor) that trustees' sales,
commissioners’ sales, sheriffs sales
and other legal notices of whatever
character, where the amount involves .
fifty dollars or more, should be pub-1
lished in a newspaper at least three
weeks instead of being posted, leaving
the creditor largely at the mercy of the
speculator who profits by his misfort |
une, because general publicity is not
given the sale, where he is unable to
repay the money for which his proper
ty was hypothecated.
Resolved further, That this associa
tion confesses, with feelings of mortifi
cation and regret, that the Legislature
for u number of years has not treated
the newspapers of the State with jus- ;
tiee, and every member of this associa
tion Is hereby called upon to speak out
boldly and unequivocally in their re
spective papers on this subject, and in
the future to personally see that can
didates for whatever office do not be
long to that class inirnicable to the
press, but men who will do justice to it
along the line and spirit contained in
these resolutions as a whole.
Resolved further, That it is the sense '
of this association, that public institu-,
tious of this State, looking to the peo- j
pie of Mississippi for support, and ex
pecting favorable mention by the State
press, should have their printing done
by home office,
Resolved further, That if any State, \
district, county, beat or municipal or
other officer shall disregard the prin
ciples and intent of these resolutions,,
he shall be regarded as hostile to the !
newspapers of the State, and treated
accordingly.
Resolved farther, That we insist up
on being treated in a more business
like manner by candidates for all of- !
flees, State, county, municipal or Fed-1
eral, and that henceforth all matter in
the interest of party nominees, fur
nished by State, Congressional, dis
trict, county or municipal executive
committees, or other similar notices, j
shall be paid for as other advertise- I
ments, the same as is done in other '
States in the Union,
Resolved further, That the presi
dent of this Association appoint a!
committee of nine, two from the State- j
at-large, and one from each Congress
ional District, whose duty it shall bo
to represent the press in all matters j
looking to its welfare, which commit
tee shall be present whenever the Leg
islature is in session, to urge the above
and other needed legislation in the in
terest of the people, and in fairness to
the Mississippi newspapers.
Resolved further, That these resolu
tions shall be printed conspicuously in
every newspaper belonging to this as
sociation, and that we hereby pledge
ourselves to re-enforce said publica
tion with editorial endorsements from
time to time until the just grievances j
of which we claim shall have been
righted.
Resolved further. That in its patri
otism aud love of Mississippi the press
yields to no man, hut it cannot longer
be made hewers of wood and drawers
of water for favored individuals.
Resolved further, That the Picayune
and Times-Democrat, of New Orleans,
and the Appeal-Avalanche and Com
mercial, of Memphis, Register, of Mo
bile, and Age-Herald, of Birmingham,
be requested to print these resolutions
in their news columns in full.
These resolutions were adopted
unanimously and by a rising vote.

teachers of the Wesson Normal; and
also a brief sketch of the Public School
system, since it was first established up
to the present date. Mr. Armstrong
then made a very “funny" speech, in
which he told of the nice times the
young men of Wesson had had since
the arrival of the young lady teachers;
and as he said, on behalf of the young
| ladies of Wesson to the young men at
I tending the Normal, “Wesson had
! been a place of perfect bliss since their
presence here."
Refreshments were then served, and i
until 1 o'clock the crowd enjoyed the j
festivities of the occasion. Great is
the praise of the gallant young men
of Wesson, and that night will long he
: remembered favorably by the many
teachers throughout the State.
This is the last week of the Normal,
and it promises to be the most inter
esting of them all. Sunt. Preston ar
rived here Saturday evening and gave
us a nice talk on education. He will
remain the entire week.
Prof. Anderson, our able instructor
in United States and Mississippi histo
ry and Civil Government, finished his
general review on the above studies
and left for his home Sunday.
Mr. Milledge. our “cute” little Prof,
of Botany, Physics and < leography,
gave us a magic lantern show last Fri
day night, with geographical and his
torical scenery, hero and there inter
spersed with a few comic pictures,'
among which was the ancient “Jack
and the Bean Stalk,”
Mrs. Grant's 18 primary pupils are
progressing finely.
Next Friday at 12 o'clock m. the
Normal will dismiss its many teachers,
greatly benefited and improved by the
four weeks spent here. Our kind and
estimable faculty will ever bo remem
bered throughout the State by the
many teachers who attended the Sum
mer Normal.

Trashy Medicine*.
Many such flood the market. Botan
ic Blood Balm is a eodsciontiously
compouuded medicine, the result of
forty years practice by an eminent
physician. It is the best blond purifi
er ever offered to the public, and is
guaranteed to cure if given a fair trial.
Try it for all skin and blood diseases,
including catarrh and rheumatism iu
its worst form. One bottle of it cqu
tains more curative and buildimg up
virtue than a dozen of any other kind.
Try “The Old Reliable.” See adver
tisement elsewhere.
