UNION & RECORDER.
THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
CONTINUED.
We continue in this number of our
paper what we would extract from
and say of the President’s Message.
LABOR’S INTERESTS CONSIDERED.
Due regard should also be accorded
in any proposed readjustment, to the
interests of American labor, so far as
they are involved. We congratulate
ourselves that there is among us no
laboring class fixed with unyielding
bonds and doomed under all condi
tions to the inexorable fate of daily
toil. We recognize in labor a chief
/actor in the wealth of the republic,
and we treat those who have it in
their keeping as citizens entitled to
the most careful regard and thought
ful attention. This regard and at
tention should be awarded them
not only because labor is the capital
of the workingmen—justly entitled
to its share of Government favor—
but for the further and not less im
portant reason that the laboring man,
in his humble home, surrounded by
his family, as a consumer is vitally
interested in all that cheapens the
cost of living and enables him to
bring within his domestic circle addi
tional comforts and advantages. This
relation of the workingman to the
revenue laws of the country and the
manner in which it palpably influ
ences the question of wages, should
not be forgotten in the justifiable
prominence given to the proper main
tenance of the supply and protection
of well paid labor, and these consid
^rations suggest such an arrangement
of Government revenues as shall re
duce the expense of living while it
■does not curtaii the opportunity for
work nor reduce the compensation of
American labor, and injuriously af
fect its condition and the dignified
place it holds in the estimation of our
people. But our farmers and agricul-
turists—those who from the soil pro
duce the things consumed, are per
haps more directly and plainly con
cerned than any other of our citizens
in a just and careful system of federal
taxation. Those actually engaged in
and more remotely connected with
this kind of work number nearly one-
half of our population. None labor
harder or more continuously than
they. No enactments limit their
hours of toil and no interposition of
the government enhances to any
great extent the value of their pro
ducts. And yet for many of the ne
eessaries and comforts of life, which
the most scrupulous economy ena
bles them to bring into their homes,
and for the implements of husbandry,
they are obliged to pay a price large
Iv increased by an unnatural profit
which, by thq action of the Govern
ment, is given to the more favdred
manufacturer. I recommend that
keeping in view all these considerations
the increasing and unnecessary sur
plus of national income annually ac
cumulating be released to the people,
by an amendment to our revenue
laws, which shall cheapen the price
ot the necessaries of life and give
freer entrance to such imported ma-
rerials as by American labor may be
manufactured into marketable com
modities. Nothing can be accomplish
ed. however, in che direction of this
much needed reform unless the sub
ject is approached in a patriotic spirit
of devotion to the interests of the en
tire country, and with a willingness to
yield something for the public good.
From the above extract, in connec
tion with that which we copied from
the message last week, it will be seen
that the President is sincerely and
heartily opposed to the present high
tariff. Hi« statement is patriotic,
sympathetic, dignified and mild.
There is no mistaking his allusions.
He refers to the high tariff and to the
injustice it does to th9 farmers. He
tells us that the farming population
number nearly one-half of our popula
tion, and tells us, “yet for many of
the necessaries and comforts of life,
which the most scrupulous economy
enables them to bring into their
homes, and for the implements of
husbandry, they are obliged to pay a
price largely increased by an unnatu
ral profit, which, by the action of the
government, is given to the more fa
vored manufacturers.”
We ask our respected readers and
and friends to read, again, and reflect
upon the few preceding words.
Your President tells you the high
tariff' forces you “to pay a price
largely increased by an unnatural
profit, which by the action of the
Government is given to the more
favored manufacturers.” The high
tariff men tell you that this tariff
does not tax you for the benefit of the
manufacturer. Your President tells
you that it does. We have often told
you the same thing, and it offended
some to such a degree that they or
dered us to stop their papers we were
sending to them. In those cases we
thought the parties were unkind, and
we relieve them of that charge, be
lieving they honestly thought that
we were endeavoring to force an opin
ion upon them, inconsistent with
justice and truth. The high tariff
dogmas, we believed, were accepted
by them under the specious presen
tations of their advocates. Of course
we submitted with regret, not doubt
ing the integrity of the parrties. It
was a long time before the people of
the earth, upon which we live, yield
ed the opinion that it was round and
not flat, and it is probable that, stim
ulated by averice, it may take a
thousand years to make some admit
that high duties make high prices.
With some people truth is a chimera,
and political science is a dream, and
many will continue in that kind of
mental darkness, until they can no
longer by the action of the Govern
ment rob the farmer for the benefit of
athe manufacturer.
We now pass from this question of
the tariff to a brief allusion to the
treneral condition of public affairs.
Up to the first of November 1886 (
the public debt, still outstanding
\vas $1,118,433,113. Of this amount
$86,848,700 was still represented by
three per cent bonds.
SILVER COINAGE.
During the fiscal year ended June
30th 1886, there were coined under
the Compulsory Silver Coinage Act of
1878, 29,838,905 silver dollars and the
cost of the silver used in such coinage
was $33,448,960. There had been coin
ed up to the close of the previous fis
cal year under the provision, of the
law $203,882,554 silver dollars and on
the first day of December 1886, the
total amount of such coinage was
$247,431,549. The directory of the
mint reports that at the time of the
passage of the law of 1878 directing
this coinage, the intrinsic value of the
dollars thus coined was ninety-four
and one-fourth cents each, and that
on the 31st day of July, 1886, the price
of siver reached the lowest stage eyer
known, so that the intrinsic or bullion
price of our standard silver dollar at
that date was less than 72 cents. The
price of silver on the 30th day of No
vember last, was such as to make
these dollars intrinscically worth 78
cents each. These differences in val
ue of the coins represent the fluctua
tions in the price of silver, and they
certainly do not indicate that compul
sory coinage by the Government en
hances the price of that commodity or
secures uniformity in its value.
Every fair and legal effort has been
made by the Treasury Department
to distribute this currency among the
people. The withdrawal of United
States Treasury notes of small denom
inations and the issuing of small silver
certificates have been resorted to in
the endeavor to accomplish this result
in obedience to the sentiments of the
representatives of the people in Con
gress. On the 27th day of November,
1880, the people held of these coins or
certificates representing them, the
nominal sum of $166,873,041, and we
still had $79,464,345 in the Treasury.
While the President has his views
in opposition to the coinage of silver
he has faithfully endeavored to give
it the largest circulation possible.
We pass over for the present, the
Presidents remarks in reference to
the Departments of War, the Navy,
Public Lands, Patents and Civil Ser
vice, upon which we may say some
thing hereafter in connection with
the Reports of the several Secretaries
of the respective Bureaus which we
pass over for the present.

-AND-
A monster conference, of the Liber
al Unionists, was held in London on
the 7th instant. The Marquis of Har-
tington acted as chairman. Among
the distinguished persons present
were the Earls of Derby and North-
broke, Baron Rothschild, Mr. George
J. Goshen and ex-Attorney General
James, and numerous noblemen. Let
ters were read from Lord Tennyson,
the Duke of Argyle, and John Bright.
Mr. Bright wrote that he feared if
present, he might say something that
would give pain. He deplores and
condemns a part of Mr. Gladstone’s
action. His Irish allies are drawing
matters to extremities and yet no
word comes from Parnell or Mr. Glad
stone to restrain them.
Lord Hartington and Mr. Chamber-
lain, also, opposed the fiew of -Mr.
Gladstone.
Mr. Gladstone, Sir Win. Vernon
Harecourt and John Morley, based
their speeches upon the granting to
Ireland an executive government.
Mr. Gladstone assumed that the gov
ernment were competing with him in
his scheme for Ireland, but that was
denied. The removal of the present
government, Jwould result in the elec
tion of Mr. Gladstone who would set
tle the Irish question in his own way.
Mr. Gladstone, said Lord Hartington,
may not control John Dillon, but he
can speak one word which would dis
solve the alliance between the agita
tors of the Dillon class and the Lib
eral party. It would appear from the
reception given to the views of those
who took part against Mr. Gladstone’s
views, that his Irish policy met a
stern opposition in this large meeting
consisting mainly of the opponents of
Home rule for the Irish.
Wonderful Cures.
W. D. Hoyt & Co., Wholesale and Retail
Druggists of Rome. Ga., says: “Wo have
been selling Hr. King’s New Discovery,
Electric Bitters and Buciden’s Arnica
Salve for two years. Have never handled
remedies that sell as well, or give such
universal satisfaction. There have been
some wonderful cures affected by these
medicines in this city. Several cases of
pronounced Consumption have been en
tirely cured by use of a few bottles of Dr.
King’s Now Discovery taken in connection
with Electric Bitters. We guarantee them
always. Sold by John M. Clark.
Jigricultural Implements!
-I have a full stock of-
Groceries and Provisions, Bagging and Ties,
And am prepared to meet the demands of all who may favor me
with their patronage for Plantation Supplies of all kinds, at prices
that cannot be excelled in this section. I also have a choice stock
of Groceries for the city trade.
As the prosperity of every country depends upon the success o
agriculture, and realizing the necessity of thet horough breaking o
land and cultivation of the crop, I have supplied myself with f
large lot of two and one horse Plows of the best makes, consisting o::
the Syracuse, Benton & Harber, White’s Clipper, Meikle’s Blue
Pony and the Boss, and I also have a large lot of Steel Plows
Haiman and Southern Plow Stocks, single and double, and farming

And to all who would like to have a Pump put in their wells,
would recommend the Buckeye Force Pump, which myself
many others have been using with perfect satisfaction for some
time. All who wish to supply themselves with any of the above
articles will do well to call and examine my stock and get my prices
before buying elsewhere.

The Political Outlook.
Henry Watterson in Louisville Courier-Journal.
If Mr. Cleveland is to be his own
successor upon the next National
Democratic ticket, and there seems
at this moment small reason to doubt
that he will be, it is none too soon for
the party and its probable candidate
to look the situation squarely in the
face, and to ask whether, under ex
isting conditions, a nomination is like
ly to be equivalent to an election. In
our opinion, the answer which
thoughtful and fair observers would
give to such an inquiry must in the
nature of the case be an emphatic, no.
On the contrary, if there is not a con
siderable mending ofJDemocratlc fences
the chances will be decidedly against
us; and as we mount the hill and be
gin to descend the down grade of the
electoral period it should be the duty
of every Democrat who has the in
terest and future of his party at heart
to speak out in meeting and to con
tribute his best council to the general
reservoir of information.
