LITTLE CREEK.
IIaxneu-Mes.-exgeki—W c had a good
old fashion singing to-day. Bro. B. O.
Munroo and L. A. Oswalt led in the sing¬
ing and we went to the old man Martin’s
for dinner and as usual old mother Mar¬
tin had a good dinner and you ought to
have been there and seen Bro. Munroe
hiding the chicken pie and oilier good
things, and then lie set in on tlie honey
and you bet he got there then and Os¬
walt kept close along by his side that
time and I hope that they will come again
and sing for us.
Well, the farmers arc pushing things
to tiy to get up with their work. Mr. A.
G. Brannon wants his neighbors to take
all their chickens to Martin’s store and
sell them so that his negroes can work
till night. It is so dark that the chick¬
ens go to roost before sun down. He
told one of the old man WRupee's little
boys that their chickens went to roost
too soon and that his negroes thought it
was night when the chickens went to
roost and tlie old man is one of the most
industrious men in this countvy and a
good far mer for bis brother told me that
Andy used to go to the field before day
and get on tlio fence and sit there and cry
because he couldn’t sec how to be at
work. That is getting there and it is
hard that ho can’t get his negroes to work
till after sun up and then the chickens
make them quit work before sun
down aud I think that the neighbors
ought to sell their chickens sq he can get
a day’s work out of his negroes. I pity
him and if I had any chickens I would
sell them if I lived in sight of the field.
That will all come right some day.
The old widow Gober is getting very
feeble now. She has been a woman of a
good name. She is in her 07th year so
they tell rne aud that is something un¬
common in this day. She moved to tiiis
county when there was no one only Indi¬
ans here. She was tlie first white person
that ever lived on Tallapoosa river. She
had a hard time then and has had ever
since her husband died and left her with
n house full of little children to raise and
she did a mother’s duty and raised them
all to he good citizens and respected and
HOW the time is not far.ahead when she
will be rewarded for it.
So no more.

Col. Brock and Hift lie form Party.
Editor Banjjkr-Mkssknoku—T he Re
publican tariff reform party is going to
defeat tlio so-called. Democratic, party,
Why do l call the Republican party the
reform party? I call it the reform party,
or the party that is really in favor of re¬
forming tlio tariff in tlio interest of the
people of the United States, and not in
the interest of Europe,
b p to 1861 we had free trade or tariff
for revenue only. Under this Democrat
j<; tariff for revenue only, the people paid
for a paper of pins from 15 to 25 cents for
a paper; and 15 to 25 cents for sewing
needles. Under this low system of Dem
ocratic free trade we paid for a shovel
plow not less than one dollar; for a scoo¬
ter plow not less than fifty cents and up
to seventy-five cents. No.w, under this
robber Republican tariff reform policy
any person can purchase in the town of
Tallapoosa ten large papers of pins tor
ten cents; two largo papers of sewing
needles for ten cents, which is one tliou
sand per cent cheaper to the consumer
under this so called Republican robber
tariff than they were under the Deinocrat
ic tariff for revenue only. Any person
can purchase a finished steel turning plow
for twenty cents that under Democratic
free trade cost 81.25. This is five hun¬
dred percent cheaper. To-day in the
town of Tallapoosa any person can pur
chase a nicely finished scooter plow for
less than was paid for the making of such
a plow previous to the year 1801. To-day
in tlie town of Tallapoosa any person can
purchase 10 pounds of fine white sugar
for 81.00, and f predict, that in a few
days 18 pounds can bo purchased in Tal¬
lapoosa for 81.00. Xot.e the difference in
tlie prices paid under low Democratic tar¬
iff, or tariff for revenue only, and tlie ju i¬
ces paid under a Republican protective
tariff, ami answsr which party is the
guilty party; what party has committed
the most robbery? Which party got the
most of the consumers money? I deny
that either party is guilty of robbery.
The Democratic party in National Con¬
vention addopted and set forth in their
Platform on which they nomina¬
ted James Buchanan and elected him
president the following: “The time has
come for the people of the United States
to declare themselves in favor of free seas
progressive free trade throughout
world.”
If the above is not for absolute free
trade for tlie absolute free admission of
tlie products of the nations of the earth
free of any tax, I cannot understand
their meaning. This being the policy of
the Democratic paity, tlie Republican
party differed with the Democratic party
as to this free trade policy and set forth
in their National Platform the principles
of protection to American industries in
the way of levying a tariff or tax on for¬
eign imports for the support o£, the gov¬
ernment for the purpose to discharge the
National debt and for the further pur¬
pose to give aid and protection to Ame¬
rican industries, and for the purpose to
aid tlie American people in the develop¬
ment of our American resources. This
tariff which is so objectionable to a large
portion of our jieopie is every cent collec¬
ted on foreign imports to be sold to the
American people. The American people
can produce 75 per cent of every thing
that they consume. Why should Europe
have the right free of tax te dump out
their products here in the United States?
Every dollar’s worth of products that are
imported into this government, such as
our people can produce, is to that extent
a hinderance to our people and competes
with their products and reduces the wa¬
ges of our laboring people.
The Republican tariff reform party is in
favor of reforming tlie Democratic free
trade tariff foi revenue only that existed
previous to the year 1804. They have
reformed the Democratic tariff, and they
are going to continue to do so in the in¬
terest of the Amarican people. They in¬
tend to have free trade or a free exchange
of products between the different nations
on suck products as we can not pro¬
duce.
It appears to me that the Democratic
party is actually mad from the fact that
the Republican tariff reform party
is reforming the Democratic tariff policy
that existed previous to the year 1801,
and by so doing and reducing the prices
to the consumers on an average of three
hundred per cent. So you see our finan¬
cial condition or our being in debt is not
caused by tlio tariff tax. The second
act passed by the first congress of the
United States in its preamble said that it
is necessary for the support of the gov¬
ernment for the discharge of the debts
of the United States and the encourage¬
ment and protection of manufacturers
that duties be laid on imported goods,
wares and merchandise. This tariff act
was approved and signed by President
Washington with ten other protective
tariff acts, all approved and signed by
Washington. Thomas Jefferson
high duties arc necessary to foster
rican industries. Were these good men
robbers? Did they rob the American peo¬
ple by favoring a policy that protected
the American people and had the effect
to build up the American people and al¬
so to encourage American manufactures?
My Democratic friends call the tariff a
robber tariff and the Republican party a
robber party. What do you say gentle¬
men of President Washington? Was he
a robber? What do you say of Thos. Jef¬
ferson, Ilenry Clay, James A. Garfield,
Samuel J. Itandall? What do you say of
every President of the United States ex¬
cept three? Were they all robbers?
They were all protectionist. The Repub
liean tariff reform party added to the
money circulation in the last congress
nearly 011c hundred million of dollars,
which was opposed by the Democratic
members and they are going to give to
the people an increase of the circulation
money in sufficient amount to do the bu¬
siness of tlio people and country and they
are going to predicate it on a solid finan¬
cial basis. Not on tlie sub-treasury plan
of mortgages on land, corn, wheat, oats,
cotton,potatoes and the mortgages made
payable to the government. This gov¬
ernment is not going into the mortgage
brokerage business with every man or
person that wishes to borrow a few dol¬
lars. The people need not expect any
such legislation on the part of congress.
The Democratic party was in control of
the lower branch of congress from 1874
with as high as 65 majority until 1888,
when Harrison was elected President
with a Republican congress. The Demo¬
party held the lower branch of |
for 15 years with a large major¬
also had President Cleveland at the
of the government. Why did not
the Democracy repeal the so-called rob¬
ber tariff laws? Why did not the Democ¬
racy increase the money
You say Cleveland is a good Democrat.
You say the Democracy is in favor of the
free coinage of silver. If so why did
they not pass a free coinage law? Have
they just found out that the people need
a greater volume of money put into cir¬
culation? I fear that tlio Democrats
that expect much from the next Demo,
cratic congress will be badly disappoint¬
ed in the way of tariff reform, also disap¬
pointed in tlieir financial legislation.
They will say and promise a great many
reforms and do nothing for the good of
the common people. Mark my predic¬
tion. We need no tariff reform in the in¬
terest of England and Europe but let us
have all the reforms made in the interest
of our people and our industries.

I believe that Bradycrctiue is the most
wonderful medicine for the cure of head¬
ache I have ever tried.
An old negro woman at Dalton, pushed
her son forward to shake hands with the
President; but tlie latter reached clear
over him and shook hands with a white
man. Then the worn ui said: “Come on
home, Jobn; ’ taint no use. Harrison may
be a’publican, but he ain’t got no mo’ use
fer a nigger den a white man lias. Come
’long home, en let him go to de dehbii—
fo’ dat.s jes’ wliur he lie’s gwine!”
