The Democracy
after a long oontsst over the tar-
iff, has passed a law whioh, though
a very conservative measure, is a
long advance in the right direc-
tion. Business and industries
have accepted it, and are content-
ed and prosperons under it. Dem-
ocrat© are anxiona to give it the
test of time and experience. Will
the Republicans acquiesce in this
or do they propose to tarn back-
ward to McKinloyism 1 Should
they neroinate McKinley without
repudiating his tariff views, the
tariff will at once beoome the
vital issue of the campaign. He
represent© distinctly one idea. His
nomination would be a challenge
to the country to return to a tariff
policy which it has defeated and
discarded. The Democratic par-
ty would gladly acoept the chal-

with it the busiuess interests
whioh have adapted themselves to
present conditions and demand a
rest from farther tariff ohanges.
The issue would be between a fair
trial of a successful tariff and a
return to a discredited policy.
One other question is likely to
be an important issue in the cam
paign, namely, the foreign policy
of our country. Until a compara-
tively recent date there was sub-
stantial agreement that such poli-
or aggression, bat should avoid
“ entangling alliances,” and make
Washington’s farewell words and
the proper assertion of the Mon-
roe doctrine the bulwark of na-
tional safety and honor. The San
Domingo fiasco of Grant’s admin-
istration was believed to have
ended permanently any other
oourse. But recently Republican
leaders have revived a defeated
and almost forgotten Jingoism,
and proclaimed a policy of for-
eign interference and annexa-
tion. By annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands they would have
the country try the experiment of
governing a distant, divided for-
eign people, and of assimilating
them and their institutions. By
interference at Samoa they would
involve us in entangling alliances
with Germany and England, and
in a responsibility nnnsnal and
unnecessary. By assisting Nica-
rangna in resisting payment of
England’s claim and English oc-
cupancy they would pervert the
Monroe doctrine and establish a
preedeut which would force us
into the foreign quarrels of every
petty, irresponsible republic of
Central and South America.
How far these views of Repub-
lican Jingoism permeate and con-
trol that party will be determined
in its next convention. The Dem
ocratic administration, in its con-
duct of onr foreign affairs, has
met oor slant, bitter criticism, but
has resolutely refused to depart
from the traditional policy of our
country aud to involve her in
novel . aid everlasting foreign
complications. It has not be-
lieved ' hat conquest or colonial

strength or welfare, nor national
honor best upheld by tyranny over
a feeble but friendly power. The
Republican party may make an
issue over this Democratic rec-
ord. If so, a most important
question of far-reaching conse-
quences will demand serious at-
tention. For one, I believe it
will take much more than the
blaster of Jingoism to persuade
the people that it is wise, safe, or
patriotic to plunge our country
into the maelstrom of international
strife and ambition and to aban-
don a oourse where we have

Judge Clark Had the Supreme
Court Judges Hanging
Over the Railings.
Washington, Oct. 24.—The case
of the United States against the
state of Texas really presented
some sensational features today
in the argument of the counsel.
So sensational that really the su-
preme court for the first time
within my knowledge leaned over
the benches and listened to what
was said. As has been said in
these dispatches the short term
of the attorney general had not
been long enough for him to be-
come enthusiastic in the case and
when he closed Judge Clark
began the argument for the state.
His contention seemed to rest
entirely upon the maps in which
were shown the North Fork of
the Red river was the point on
the river known to civilization at
that time and he accentuated this
a manner which to him was
intense, and then he said in con-
clusion:
“ May it please the court, this
is the case for Texas as we under-
stand it, feebly presented as it
may be, and yet bristling with
right and truth so convincing as
to utterly dissipate the claim of
the government. This land, the
subject of controversy here, is a
portion of her dowry Texas
brought to the Union. Brave
men walked into revolution and
dared its perils in order that this
fair land might be reclaimed from
barbarism after the United States
had bartered it away. Heroes
died that Anglo-Saxon civilization
might throw over it the shield of
its protection and save it for the
great republic, and when it was
saved Texas came as a sad
bride to’the altar and gave it with
trusting confidence to the union
of the states. Her choice was
not defiled with the sordid aroma
of purchase. With her freedom
sh© gave herself and all she had
and all she hoped for to the Union
and with her hand came also in
natural order the great territory
of the west and the golden slopes
of the Pacific. And now in the
splendor of her motherhood, she
comes and asks of tho United
States simple justice. She is not
here to ask for favors, but to de-
mand the fulfillment of the con-
tract.
“This good county of Greer is
one of her family jewels, dear to
her by the most tender associa-
tions, nurtured and cared for in
its infancy and under fostering
jroteetion, already become the
home of 20,000 of her good people.
Public sohoolhouses built by
Texas on every hillside, Texas
courts dispense justice, Texas
aws protect, Texas churches and
her sacred men christianize aud
what was once the hunting ground
of the Comanche has becomg the
abiding place of a civilization.
Are all those to go for naught ?
Because the symmetry of a pro-
jected state may be promoted by
tearing this county from Texas
and giving it to Oklahoma? Of
what comparison is the symmetry
of boundary to the rights of a
state ? How can we weigh even
in judicial scales the integrity of
Texas’ domain and some fancied
idea of what ought to be ?

made, and speaking for my great

Medal and Diploma at World’s Fair.
Ask your druggist tor Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
in the presence of this high court,
commanding as it justly does, the
profound respectj)f the civilized
world, that the contention of the
government in this case is un-
worthy of its dignity and violative
of its plighted faith. The United
States guaranteed to Texas the
integrity of her territory if she
would unite her fortune with
those of the Union and Texas
came and accepted the guaranty.
Shall this solemn transaction be
waived now by some fancied mis-
take in the treaty of 1859 ? The
bare suggestion is fraught with
dishonor. Texas ought never to
have been called upen by the
government to show her title pa-
pers. Por this, the court is not
responsible, but summoned as she
has been, she has come aud shown
an unbroken chain of title, legal
and equitable, running back al-
most to those misty years of the
dark ages, cemented by actual
possession, crystalized by pre-
scription, concluded by estoppel.
Upon this perfect assurance of
title she proudly submits her
cause with perfect confidence as
to what should be the judgment
of this court.”
He was now and then interrupt-
ed by the judge with questions,
the most persistent of the interro-
gators being Judge White. The
answers showed a clean-out knowl-
edge of every fact connected with
the case, and even Judge White,
who showed a disposition to retire
behind the scenes and get the
usual lunch of the supreme court,
got out of his chair and bung over
the railing of his bench to hear
the reply this man seemed to have
on the tip of his tongue. For the
first time since I have been here
and watched the discussion of
cases the court meeting at 12
o’clock hung on to its chairs and
its lunch got cold. ;
Judge Clark was followed by
Solicitor General Conrad. His
whole argument seemed to be de-
voted to bringing down an act of
1879, which was fixed by Con-
gressman Culberson, fixing Greer
county in the northern district of
Texas. Culberson placed this
county not so much for judicial
purposes as to accentuate the
fact that the United States recog-
nized Greer county as a part of
Texas. Clark had made the point
that this was a recognition of the
state’s right to the territory. That
was about all there was of that
and the solicitor general choked
up aud coughed when he reached
that point. After Conrad con-
cluded Attorney General Crane
began his argument, which he
presented in the very strongest
light. He had not concluded
when the court adjourned.
I have never been in sympathy
with the idea that Texas will win
it now. There was never but one
man who knew the government’s
side of it and that was Yankee
Adams, as they call him. He was
appointed as the representative
of the government under Harri-
son and has made a olose study
of the case. He is one of the
best collectors of evidence and
one of the best lawyers in the
United States. He alone knows
of the government side, but undsr
the way they manage it in the
court, the attorney general and
the solicitor general, who do not
know one fact about the case,
consumed nearly the entire four
hours allotted to each side, and
he will not have mors than ten
minutes in conclusion to tell the
entire strength of the case ou the
part of the United States, and 1
believe, for the first time, that
Clark aud Crane by their shrewd
manipulation of the allotment of
time in making the arguments
will win the case. Crane made a
tine talk. It was based on one
fact aud that was that there had
never been any civilization or
population on Prairie Dog creek
because of its alkali character and
that the treaty made between
Spain and this country contem-
plated alone ths north fork, be-
en use that was tho only place that
anybody bad ever been. He
called attention to Gen. Morey’s
report, which said that he discov-
ered the south fork and ill it th-
in fact really unkown to the peo-
ple who were mosying sround in
that neighborhood at that time,
while the north fork bad people
who were mining and who were
contending that their creek or
branch or river was the only one
in the neighborhood. The great
point in this case is the act of
1879 in which the government
recognizes Greer county as part
of the northern district of Texas
in reference to its district court.
This is another case of Congress-
man Culberson’s. There was not
one congressman in either political
party that solved this thing and it
is said that it was taking an ad
vantage. The importance of it
could be seen today when both
Clark and Crane hurled it at the
court as an absolute admission on
the part of the government as an.
estoppel of further contention on
the part of the government to
its present contention that the
government itself owned this ter-
ritory.

Robinson, the president, author-
ized the statement that from this
time on the association will not
have anything to do with the uub-
treasnry or any other plan, ad-
vanced by^ the Populists. The
association, he said, will be con-
ducted in the interest of the
farmers of the state without any
reference to politics. The asso-
ciation 1ms undertaken the organi!|li
ization of farmers’ insurance com-
panies in different parts of the
state, and will try to induce all
farmers to join these companies.
In the course of his annual ad-
dress President Robinson said:
t; If we carefully study the great
financial convulsions that shake
this nation we will find that the
farmers are affected by them in a
less degree than almost any other
class of people. It will be re-
membered that the failure of Bar.
iDg Bros, in England in 1890 pro-
duced a small s'zed panic in the
United States, but it may be safe-
ly said that the fanners of the
country were scarcely aware of
any flurry in commercial circles.
The agricultural interests went
right on as if nothing had happen-
ed. Tho panic of 1893 will go
down in history as the only one
that was ever brought ou by de-
signing men for a sinister purpose,
and yet it affected the farming
class but little. Originally
brought about for the clear pur-
pose of compelling the farmers to
cease their clamor for bimetallism,
it signally failed : for while it sent
a number of banks to the wall, as
well as thousands of business
men. not a score of farmers can
be found who were badly crippled
by it. These facte speak well for

Gentlemen—Twenty-threeyearg
ago I was attacked with inflam
matory rheumatism ; I was attend-
ed by the most eminent physicians
in the land ; I visited the great
Siratog* Springs, N. Y., aud the
noted Hot Springs of Arkansas,
and many other watering places,
and always consulting with the
local physician for directions;
finally came to Florida ten years
ago.
Abont two years ago I had a
severe attack of rheumatism, was
confi ied to my room for twelve
weeks, and during the time I was
induced to try P. P. P. (Prickly
Ash, Poke Root and Potassium),
knowing that each ingredient was
good for impurities of the blopd,
after using two small bottles I
was relieved; at four different
times since I have had slight at-
tacks, aud I have each time taken
two small bottles of P. p. p. and
been relieved, and I consider it
the best medicine of its kind.
Respectfully, .J. F. Greer.
