Keokuk, Iowa.—A very interesting and significant letter has been received by a citizen of Keokuk from an old gentleman living in Pulaski, Tenn., where General Weaver, tbe people’s party candidate for president, had command in the latter part of the war. Tho sentiments contained in the let ter will doubtless bo spread abroad throughout the south and put the peo ple’s party candidate on the defensive wbeu he enters upon the canvass in that section where bis friends claim be is so strong. A portion of the letter roads as follows: “ He (Weaver) will eclipse Bull Kelson or Ben Butler so far as the double-eyed villain reaches I send you a piece out from the Giles County Democrat of the 20th, and I vouch for the truth of every word. All three of the men were old friends of mine. He (Weaver) had Baker Shepard, George Petway and S. W. McGrew arrested, and would have had me arrested if it had not been for McGrew. When they passed my house McGrew told him I was deaf. Weaver sent Shepard and Petway out of the inca. Mosers. NtWbill, Rhodes and Abernathy paid him the money. These aro the facts and can be proved. He was a perfect terror to both men and women. Tho refugees never received one cent cf money. All of the old citizens are dead now. Most of them were very old at the time. Weaver will get very few votes south of “Mason and Dixon’s line.” The fol lowing is the clipping referred to above, headed, “Something about Weaver:” BIGtiWAY ROBBERY. General VVcaver, while in command at Pulaski in January in 1864, issued an or der to Chas. C. Abemalh v, John H. Newbill, Robert Rhodes and others that they pay into his hands $1,000 for tho m aintenance of refugees (meaning ne groes and renegades from Alabama) This order was accompanied by a threat that if the m< ney was not paid they and their families would be sent south aud their property given to said refu gees. All of these parties are dead now arid were over sixty years old when the order was issued. Can any southern mau vote for such a heartless wretch ? THE COTTON TWIST ROBBERY. A man by the name of C. W. Witt sold Mr. Jafper Cex—a very poor man —two thousand pounds of bacoD, for which he received tho cash. Mr. Cox took tbe bacon to tbe cotton mills in Lawrence county and traded it for cot ton twist. This be carefully stored away in the loft of Ms little cabin thinking that it would assist him in purchasing a liitle home after the war, as he was very poor with a large family and had no home. Weaver learned through some source that this gentleman had the cotton twist and sent a detachment of soldiers to his bouse and took possession of it, and shipped it to Iowa for his own use. This cotton twist was worth at the time it was stolen, $2,000. Jasper Cox is living in Giles county. ROBBERY OF HOGS AND TURKEYS. John P. Williams, a poor but highly esteemed farmer of Giles county, bad twenty-dve fat hogs, which at that time were worth ten dollars per hundred, gross, aud a lot of turkeys. Weaver, in person, took a file of sol diers out to Williams’ place and made the soldiers shoot every hog on the place, and had them brougnt to camp. When Williams asked for a voucher Weaver said, “I don’t give rebels in the sonth vouchers. I would rather furnish-* rope to hang every d—n one of them.” Mr. Williams is still living and will swear to the above if neces sary. The hogs were valued at $760. The turkeys belonged to Mrs. Wil liams and she begged to have them fpared, bat the heartless wretch had them all killed and taken to headquar ters for his own rpeoial use, remarking to Mra.Williams that she had no busi ness being the wife of a rebel. BARTERING in passes. Weaver made it a practice to chaige our citizens ten cents each for pastes to come into and out of the Federal linos. This money he put into his own pocket. This pass read as follows: Pass the bearer through the Federal lines. J. B. Weaver, Commander. BCBunra and imprisoning prominent OITIZKNS. Weaver had a number of law-abiding citizens arrested and putinjiil and then charged them from one hundred to five hundred 'dollars for releasing them. There were no charges against them. Several of the gentlemen who were put in jail and paid the money are still liv ing. Among them is Dr. J. C. Roberts, one of tbe meet highly - respected citi zens in Pulaski. VOKDXK&S FOR MORSE FLESH. Weaver had a great fondues for home flesh, and whenever he fonnd a horse belonging as he called it, to a “rebel symp thizer,” he took possession of it without giving any voucher for it and if the owner valued it very highly and did not wish to part with it, he charged him from one to five hundred dollars according to the value of the horse for returning it to its owner. This money he put into his own pocket. Weaver was a terror not only to the male portion of our people but was loathed and dispised by the women and children for his brutal conduct He was regarded by all respi ctable citizens as an outlaw and unscrupulous scoundrel, perfectly destitute of every ingredient that it takes to constitute a gentleman. Any Southern man who would vote for Joe Weaver, the People’s party can didate for the presidency after roadirg this record, ought to bo imprisoned for life and fed on vinegar and pumpkin seeds tbe remainder of hia days.

The city crowded with strangers, and prominent Democrats were present from various sections of the Union. General’s John C. Black and John M. Palmer were among the distinguished speakers. General Steventon, made the leading speech of the day, and, in it clearly set forth the principals upon which he ad vocated the election of Grover Cleveland in November. In the opening of his speech, General Stevenson called attention to the fact that uone of the disasters to trade and commerce which had been so confident ly predicted to follow the administra tion of President Cleveland, had been realized. Bat that those who had pre dieted these, and kindred evil results, had proved to be "false prophets. The Democratic administration whicl ended March 4, 1889, had "gone into history as an economical and uble ad ministration of the government. ” Th rights of all property of all sections had been preserved, the debts of the g</v eminent were paid at maturity, n< trust funds were used, and the gold re serve was protected from any menaciu^ threats of invasion. "Tho bankruptcy which now threat ens the government, ” said General Ste ▼enson, "is the resnlt, first, of the en actment of the McKinley tariff law aud, secondly, of the lavish appropria tions Of the Fifty-first congress. ” General Stevenson then contrasted the act of the present secretary of the treasury in, nnder what he considered the exigencies of the financial situation, extending the payment of $2,000,000 bonds maturing Sept. 1, of last year, with the wise and economical adihistra tion of his Democratic predecessor, who paid promptly all claims muturin, against the government. He then reviewed the reckless expen diture of money by the last Republican congTess—Known as the "billion dollar' congress. He said that at the close of the ad luiuistration of Mr. Cleveland, the ear pins, exclusive of the gold reserve was, in round numbers $83,000,000, and the question apparent, in the last two years of tbe administration was, what shall be done with the surplus. He then showed the conditions that now confronted the country. Taking the basis as estimate by the secretary of the treasury for the present fiscal year Mr. Stevenson showeq.that three would be a deficit of $52,000,000, trom which there is no escape if the law requiring a $48,000,000 sinking fund be complied with. He showed that much of the appro priations of the lust congress was dne to laws passed by the preceding Repub lican congress; and even in the last days of the last congress $32,000,000 Wereadded to the appropriations by Republican senate. He said: "The reckless expenditure of money by appro 8 nations which no pnblic^necessities emanded, merits the condemnation of the people. ” In approaching the tariff question, Mr. Stevensou said For twenty-four years immediately pre ceding the inanguration of President Cleveland, all departments Of the. govern ment were In the tnain under the control of the Republican party. During that period the larger part of the legislation which has been so potent in burdening the peoplo with debt and taxation was en acted. The legislation was resisted by the Democratic minority in congress. The treasury of the United States has ever found Its most faithful guardians in the Democratic party. The tribute of Mr. Blaine to its old time leaders was but just when he said he had “guarded the treas ury with unceasing vigilance against* every attempt at extravagance and cor ruption.” The Important Issue. The tariff is the all important Issue of the campaign upon which we hare now entered. Shall there be a revision of onr tariff laws, and ns a consequence of such legislation a reduction of taxtion; or, shall It become the policy of onr government to maintain, permanently, high protection ? The position of the leading political par ties upon that question cannot be misun derstood. The Republican party, as illus trated by its recent enactment of tho Me Kinley law, stands for a high protective— In other words a prohibitory tariff. The Democratic party, as emphasized by its recent utterances and its acts, is the advo cate of tariff reform. Tift issue is Squrely presented. Upon the one side are the ad vocates of a high protective or prohibi tory policy—a policy that enriches the few at the expense of the many. On the other the advocates of such reduction of tariff duties as will give to our manufacturers the benefit of cheap raw material, aud lessen to the consumer the csst of tho necessaries of fife. The argument ad vanced by the early advocates of a pro tective system was tho necessity of pro tec ting our “infant industries.” Yet Mr. Cjv* the author of the famous tariff bill with which his name is inseparably asso ciated, declnred such protection to bo only temporary, and that so soon as such in- duatries were able to stand alone, tariff duties should be reduced. The compro mise tariff law of 1K3, of which Mr. Clav was tho author, provided that at the end of ten years there should Oeglu a rapid re duction of duties until the average rate th. xr„ c .„_ -t Bbould not exceed 20 per cent.

LAID TO REST. Tho Funeral of Little Isaac Kenney Yesterday.

A Urge number of frier ds and rela tives gathered at tl is solemn ocearior, and beautiful were the ceremonies which were conducted by Rev. T. O Rorie. j In the darkened home, where the music of the little fellow’s voice will be hoard no more, sorrow will be felt for many years to come :)uoiiC!ia rmt, mcraaiw. xa prduorcKjh a*t tlieso industries have grown stronger ami more powerful, they nave demanded yet greater protection. In reviewing the tariff laws as enact ed by congress from Mr. Clay, down to 1890 be said: But this is not all. The protected classes growing year by year stronger and more jiowerful with the protection afforded them, demanded of the Fifty-first con- •cress yet higher duties. As “infant in- _ us tries” they had been- for the time con tent with the moderate protection given by Mr. Clay. Later, they bad demanded the higher duties imposed by the Morrill tariff, and that of later congresses. In 1890 during the first session ot the Fifty- first Congress their demand was in sub stance for a prohibitory tariff. The re- sponce to this demand was the passage by a Kdoubliean Congress of the McKinley bill. The avowed abject of this bill was to check importation. Its purpose so to increase the rate of duties, as ia many in stances to exclude absolutely foreign goods from our markets,' and thus by cut ting off competition, enable the home manufacturer without let or hindrance tO fix the price of his wares, In a word, the McKinley law, by its prohibitory features gave its beneficiaries a practical monopoly, aud enabled them in fact to levy an addi tional tax npon the consumer, to the ex tent that that the duty had been increased. Was this legislation demanded by the people? Wns it in their interest? was it not class legislation of the most odious character—such * leg! ilation as enriches the few at the expense of the many? The American people unmistably set their seal of condemnation upon the bill. Slowly but surely they have become convinced that'" protection does not protect ” them. it is worse than idle tospeakof thebene- flts to the American farmer. What he de mands is both a foreign and a home mar ket for the products of his farm. It Is mockery to tell him ho is protected against the corn and wheat products of the old world. While he u compelled to sell in the open markets of the world, he should be allowed the poor privilege of buying what his necessities require without pay ing high tribute to tho protected classes of his own country. To the mechanic and laborer no less than to the farmer protec tion has proved a delusion and a snare. In no instance has it opened up to the farmer “additional market for a pound of meat or a bushel or grain.” Has it in a single instance given to the mechanic or laborer increased wages ? The present high tariff adds largely to the cost of articles neces sary to the comfort of the wage earner. How has he been benefited ? Has it in creased his wages? Has it in any manner benefited his condition? Recent events connected with the most highly protected Mr. J C. Jones, of Fulton, Arkansas, sayc of “About tea years ago I con- reacted a severe case of blood pol- i on. Loading physicians prescribed medicine after medicine, which I took without any relief. I also tried mercurial and potash remedies, with unsuccessful results, but which brought on an attack of mercurial rheumatism that swis RHEUMATISM four years I gave up all remedies and began ns* lg S. 8.
