newspaper comment in these days, he
refers to Governor Xieholls as "that

have the good fortune, thank God, to

and found a statue of Jupiter ly ing in
the mud. He lifted it up. wiped it as
clean as lie could with his handker

Stick lo the Democratic Parly.
Representative Duncan, of Gibson
county, Tennessee, a Farmer's Alliance
man, iu a card published in the pa
pers. Says of the sub-treasury
scheme :
I am opposed to the measure, have
ever been, which fact is well known to
all wiio have heard me express my
views on the subject. While unques
tionably, the fai mei > have a right to
organize for the.i own protection aud
promotion of their own interests, and
also a right to a fair representation in
om legislative councils, that the great
agricultural interests of the couutr
uiav he guarded with zealous care v
yet, I think the sub-treasury measure
is deceptive in its nature and will not
bring the desired relief to farmers, nor
to the country in general. It is quite
evident to my mind that the greatest
burdens the farmers have to bear, is
that imposed upon them by the opera
tion of the tariff laws. True the tax is
grievous to all, hut more so to the
farmers, because in addition to gene
ral merchandise lie lias to buy for the
use and comfort of his family, he has
also to buy farming implements and
machinery at a high protected price.
He has also to submit to a depression
in price of his product, owing to the
crippled condition of our commerce,
caused by the operation of a protec
tive tariff reform, through the success
of which will come the greitest relief
to the country and especially to the
farming class.
Let us therfore adhere all the more
olosely to the principles of the Demo
cratic party, for the succes of the
Democratic party affords us the only
avenue of relief from the burdens of an
iniquitous tariff tax and the ravages
of unjust trusts and combinations.—

President Polk of the National Alli
ance lias sent a telegram to Mr. T. J,
Guice, ex-Statelecturer of the Farmers
Union of Louisiana, stating that the
combine entered into between the An
tis Lotteryites and the Farmers' Union
at Lafayette, cannot bind individual
members of the Alliance to support
any party measure or platform, conse
quently it is plain that President Polk
regards the action of the Lafayette
convention as contrary to the princi
ples of the Alliance, aud thus leaves
the individual members free to ignore
the combine and to act independently
ot it. The situation is certainly getting
deeidely mixed, and there are very fine
prospects that the air will soon be filled
with music.—N. O. States.
The statement that President Harri

ers of Indianapolis to work up a boom.
