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.

ADLAI E. STEVENSON.
Cleveland and Adlai E. Stevenson as the
Democratic standard bearers in tbe
coming November content.
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. In view of

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

Long enough has the
to benefit them. Long enough has the
wage-earner been deluded by the cry that
high tariff means high wages. Tariffs have
no effects upon wages, except to diminish
their purchasing power. The higher the
tariff the less the purchasing power of the
wages. W ages are governed Dy the great

of the protectionist Is well founded, why
