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 v Bush, 11. C. Price, Judge Wm. Brown, < r B . Jenkins, Wm. Johnson, Dr. James rawoll, Wm. Whit ton. Seaborn Goldin, Nathan Goblin, Dr. R. B. Hutcheson, Champion Westbrook, C. C. Eves. Ishain Weaver, Samuel Carter, William Brooks, Daniel Posey, Samuel Whitten, A. D. Woods, James Sanford, old Wm. McBride 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 missed bv rav »artv I wish to sav to von 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 than England, aud Europe and the inter f th «f Wfl* , , . ™ 'ZT f ttho P~Uieal battle ,n 1892, to '™- Why should I and my P« rt T 1,6 asl ' amed of thc principles protection to American industries against f °™S n importations? There is no rea iov The principles of protection are right. The first protec tive tariff bill was opposed and signed by General Washington, tho first presi dent of the United States. Thomas Jef f «’son was an outspoken protectionist, so was Heuy Clay, Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield aud so is Janies G. Blaine, Senator George F. Edmunds and Presi dent Prison.
