COL. EF.CCS AFTER BiliTSM MAID.
•Ei*. Bann eu-Muss knger:—I see in
your paper, April 2nd, a short: article
\ signed Sanctum Confide, or Bantam
Sane?mu Confide, in which article he re¬
fers to mo. Well, you soc these small
fowls never do much but crow. They
do not scratch much, its out of their line
of business. But if a fuss with the lar¬
ger fowls is brought, about they usually
get up the trouble and fight but little, if
any. 1 would not have used the word
Bantam if this little chicken had not
called himself Bantam. It is a fact that
they are the smallest fowls of the chicken
race.
f soc in Bantam's lust article that he
compares himself to a horsefly and mos¬
quito. and how these blood-suckers can
and do amiov larger things liko the horse
or the ox. Well, von see if Bantam takes
to himself the nature and quality of a
horsefly or mosquito, then lie belongs to
the blood-sucker species, On the other
hand if the writer of t hese articles doc
not belong to the chicken, horsefly nor
tiic mosquito family, I think he ought to
sign his name to his articles. Why use
a ficticious name? I feci pretly sure that
this Bantam Sanctum Confide horcsefly
mosquito blood-sucker is the insect that
during the hist campaign for the election
of a member to the legislature, did all in
ids power to stick his blood-sucking biil
into the Hon. T. W. M. Brown, and, to
take from his persona sufficient amount
of his blood as war, necessary to destroy
his popularity and political influence
with liis fellow citizens. This you see
was a little, thing after a ,big thing, but
the big thing came through all right, al¬
though the sucker was after him all the
- f inie. 1 presume you will say bury the
bloody shirt since you got so signally de¬
feated. But. I suppose Brown’s friends
will recollect who it was that sought to
take the blood from Ids person and by so
doing do him an irrevokable political in¬
jury. It is common for those fellows that
brought on the blood and trouble to hal¬
low and eryfout, “let us bury the bloody
shirt.” Yes; they say let us bury the
bloody shirt and at the same time seek¬
ing to pierce their blood-sucking bills in¬
to your person. Therefore, I say watch
as well as pray, and would suggest in
this case that you better watch these
blood-suckers before you pray.
I have just been informed that the ar¬
ticle to which I am replying was written
by my friend, Col. C. J. Julian. This
may be true. I do not know. I will ad¬
mit that he is the writer at this time, not
knowing any better. The writer of the
article says Col. Brock’s party is the rob¬
ber party. He says my party is feeding
him out of a spoon with one hand and
robbing ;him of his hard earnings with
the other. I ask my party friends in
this county who supported me and voted
against secession, if they robbed my
friend Julian or any of his friends by so
kloing? I know you will say no when 1
-Vast ray vote in the Slate Senate to admit
the state back into the union, as your
representative. D?d we rob my friend
Julian or any of his friends by so doing?
I think you will say no. When such men
as the Hons. James II. Williams, Wyatt
\ Williams; Col. T. G. Waldrop, John

Young Longshore, Lewis Pope, Robert
Brown, Allen Philpot, Thomas PhiTpot
with a number of others acted with me
i„ our political views and did all in their
power to avoid our present deplorable
oondition, as claimed bv some persons,
In persuing this policy, did we rob Col.
or of his friends? I think
not. When was it that Col. Brock’s par¬
ty robbed my friend Julian or any of his
friends of any of their hard earnings? If
sc-state the time and place and in what
this robbery consists. I positively deny
the statement and say it is absolutely
false, and further say you can not show
anything to support your statements and
charges made against my party. They
have kept and made this nation the great¬
est nation upon the earth, and it belongs
to its friends and not its enemies, aud
of right, should control its destiny. My
friend Julian, I presume, refers to what
he and his party call tho the iniquitous
tariff laws. Yes, they call it the robber
tariff. They say it is robbing them of
their hard earnings. Oh, shame that
such statements are being made. Where¬
in has the tariff robbed you or your
friends? Will you please point out and
^n what particular you are being
by me aud my party? Let me
you if you refer to the tariff laws

tariff »«V steel rr railing “S-, sold for $1.05 per ton
this money was paid to Europe.
1 SOI wc have had a protective tariff,
now wo can buy a bettor quality of
railing made here in tlie United
States for iSJS per ton and the money kept
here at home and the labor done by our
borne people. This article of steel is 500
per cent, cheaper to the consumer under
a protective tariff than under tariff for
revomio only. 1 refer to a fow more arti¬
cles that our people consume and ask the
readers of this article if l am not stating
what is true. Previous to 1800 we paid
$1.00 for a shovel plow, at this writing
wo can get the same kind of a plow for
from twenty to twenty-five cents. We
paid for a scooter plow fifty cents, now
under a protective tariff wo pay from 15
to go cents. Previous to 1801) under tariff
for revenue'only we paid from 30 to 15
cents for a paper of needles, now under a
protective tariff wo cun purchase five pa¬
pers for the same money. Wo paid for a
paper of pins from 15 to 20 cents, now we
' >;vu Purchase live papers for the same
money. I,ask the readers of this article
to let their minds run buck into the past
previous to the year 1801), drive from
your hearts all political prejudice and
look at the prices and cost of the prime
and absolute noeessaries of life and see
if you do not agree with me that what
we purchase and are compelled to have is
not on an average of 200 per cent, cheaper
in the year 1891 than was previous to the
year 1860. If this be true, wherein has
my party robbed my friend Julian or his
party? Do you wish to destroy our A met i
ean industries—turn everything over to
that they may make what we
consume? That they may have the work
done in Europe that our poor laboring
poople ought to do here at home? Do
you not know, sir, that every dollar paid
to the laboring people of Europe for their
products that we can produce here in
Amoiica is that amount of money paid to
the foreign laborers that ought to be paid
to our homo laboring people? Do you
not know, sir, that every dollar’s worth of
goods or products made by European la¬
bor, that can and is being made by
can people is to that extent competing
with the labor and the prices of the daily
wages of our laboring people and com¬
petes and hinders to that extent our home
manufacturers and home industries? The
Republican party, the great National
Union party to which I belong is in favor
of protection to American industries—to
American labor against foreign labor and
foreign productions that compotes with
such productions and products as wo can
produce. We favor protection to Ameri¬
can industries against foreign industries
to tho end that our American people may
be actuated to build home industries, for
the more we have the more places OUT
laboring people have to get employment
aud higher will be their wages. The pol¬
icy of my party is to have a home market
that the farmer may find a demand and a
place to cash his farm products and that
the merchant may make quick and ready
sales of his merchandise. We fayor free
trade on such products as we cannot pro¬
duce aud such as does not coippete with
our prod ucts. Wo are for the interest of
the United States and her people, rather
