III HAMILTON, ALABAMA, THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10, 1887 NO. 31 THE MARION HERALD issued every Thursday by the Herald Publishing Co. Boycotted but still in the ring. Senator Morgan will deliver an address at the Wilcox Fair at Camden on tomorrow the 11th inst. The North Alabama Conference will meet at Tuskaloosa on November 18th. The assessment of the State tax for 1887 shows an increase over last year of $132,747.30. The day for scrub stock raising, poor farming, etc has passed. The day of successful stock raising and farming is here. The Sheffield & Birmingham R. R. it is thought will be completed and through trains running by Jan. 1st. Gov. Hill thinks the Democrats will carry New York, but Colonel Grant is expected to lead the Republican ticket. Says the Montgomery advertiser: “Gen. Butler is pleading the case of the Anarchists at so much an hour. General Butler is a great friend of the poor.” We extend our congratulations to the Winston Herald on its improved appearance. Winston is booming right along and we are glad to see the Herald keeping pace with its county. About 300 delegates to the National Association Charcoal Iron Workers meeting to be held in Nashville on 16th November have accepted invitation to visit Sheffield, Decatur, Anniston, Birmingham, and Bessemer. Grover Cleveland not only represents the present, its hopes and purposes, but he has been “tried in the fire” and not found wanting. The country is all the better for the sturdy, honest, true democratic methods of his administration and the people are going to sustain him. When Post-Master General Villas gets his business settled in Wisconsin he would oblige a great many Southern people by looking after the postmasters in various portions of the South. Some of whom could doubtless run a side show to a circus but are too miserable lazy to handle the mails. Jasper is still advancing and there is no telling what wonderful discoveries may yet be made in and near that thriving little city. The latest is the discovery of Sulphuric acid gas in her new artesian well. By holding a lighted match above the stream as it issues out of the pipe you can see the change in the flame that is produced by the burning of the gas. The Birmingham Age is a real good “old timer” but after being thoroughly convinced that it can not lead in Alabama journalism it is now lecturing the State press, telling that body how to run “country newspapers.” We appreciate this friendly advice but would suggest that the Age devote a little e more time to the question of “how to run a daily.” -------------- A DEMOCRATIC SERMON – From an Old Scholar of the Jeffersonian School Bull Mountain, Ala. Nov. 4th, 1887 Editor Herald: If you will allow me space in your columns I wish to say a few words to the Wheelers of Marion County on the subject of Democracy, Wheelerism and Republicanism. In the first place the Democratic Party is and has ever been the party of, for and by the people, notwithstanding there has always been a strong opposition to a democratic form of government in this country. That opposition was very conspicuous in the framing of the Constitution of these United States, the opposing party were then called ‘Federalists.’ They wanted what they styled a “strong government” with all the powers of the government vested in Congress and the President. Or in other words they wanted a monarchial aristocratic form of government – similar to that of England. Well, that same opposition to democracy exists in the Republican Party to this day. There has been a tendency to a centralization of the powers of government in Congress and the President ever since the war. Where are the once boasted of States Rights, who ever heard of Federal Courts all over the country before the war? So democracy is the only means by which this centralization movement has been kept in check. I must give a short sketch of history after Washington had served two terms as President, John Adams was then elected, he favored the Federal Party and during his administration the “alien and sedition” laws were enacted which gave the President not only the power to banish all aliens from the United States but to lock them up in prison, there to remain during his pleasure. Also to cause the arrest of any person or persons who would dare to speak or write anything against the President or Congress, in fact these acts endowed the President liberty of every democrat in the U. S. in jeopardy and producing a reign of terror which lasted to the end of Adam’s administration. This differs but little from Republican principle of toady. However, I will now give my opinion of the definition of Democracy and Republicans of a modern date. Democracy means a government by the people, and it means that the supreme governing power never, no never, departs from the people, and when we elect a man to an office that we only delegate or confer certain powers or privileges on that man to act for us and should he fail to protect the trust committed to his care that we have a right to assemble in convention and call him down from his high position and put another in his stead. The same cannot be said in regard to Republicanism, they claim that when you elect a man to office that you confer the supreme legislative or judicial powers upon that man, and that you have no more control over him until the time expires for which he was elected. Who then would not be a Democrat and who would be a Republican? As the latter class have had control of the government ever since the war they are responsible for all the oppressive laws under which we now live. They have given away millions of acres of land to railroad companies, (of which the Democrats have reclaimed 21,000,000) in fact, they have appropriated more money, had more money stolen through official channels, accumulated more money in the U. S. Treasury and made more men rich in shorter periods than was ever done in this or any other government before. Money ought to be like water, not free life water, but always moving in order that its healthfulness maybe assured and that it may be beneficial to the people. So I conclude the Republican Party is an aristocratic Party and that the Democratic Party is the poor man’s party. This being true I now ask my Wheeler friends what are you doing? We know about what you are doing, you are spending your time and means to further the ends of this aristocratic party. Are not your most zealous leaders thoroughbred republicans in principle, and do they not want some office? It has ever been the custom when two great armies were going to fight a battle and one learned that the other was better equipped, better drilled and greater in number that it would not risk and open fight but would have recourse to strategy and ambush. It is the same with political parties. The republicans fear an open field fight and they have in their ranks leaders who are experts at strategy and have set their ambush nets and you Wheelers are going blind fold right in to it. Well, you say that both of the old parties are corrupt. Does it look reasonable that you can take the refuse of both parties and make a purer, more decent party than either of the old corrupt ones as you style them? No, you can’t do it. It is the principles of any organization that we should look at, if the Agricultural Wheel was a farmer’s organization I would not oppose it in the least, but it is a political organization and I will oppose it politically to the end. Two political parties are enough and when another is gotten up it is in the interest of one or the other. NO true Wheeler will vote either the Democratic or Republican ticket.” So you intend to have a presidential candidate in the field in 1888 and you know that there is no more chance to elect him than there is for you to run the waters of the Mississippi River up stream. Then what do you want him out for, to divide the Democratic Party, what do you want to divide that party for? So the Republicans can elect the next president and prevent the Democrats from removing the war tariff.” So the government can continue to make rich men richer and poor men poorer and piling up money in the Treasury where it will do nobody any good. As you Wheelers are continually talking about ‘cheap goods” I would like to call your attention to one or two articles. About four or five years ago the Democrats succeeded in getting matches and quinine on the free list, (the tariff taken off) Quinine was quoted then at from $3 to $5 per oz, now it is quoted at from 18 to 53 cents per oz, cinchona then $1.25 to $1.59 now form 13 to 18 cents. The Democrats propose to put a great many tings on the free list at the next Congress such things as the poor people have to buy – the necessaries of life. Now if you Wheelers have any grievance to redress eek that redress in the ranks of the old reliable Democratic Party. Don’t’ stray off from your first love, loose your strength to do good and cripple the Democratic party besides. I. J. L. Some of the leading papers of the State (so called democratic ones at that) are opposed to senator Morgan’s re-election. The only grounds they have for holding out such opposition is that the Senator is not a protectionist. While we favor a sufficient protection to shield our industries we are not in favor of giving up Gen. John T. Morgan, and the protection papers of the country will have to find something much worse than the Senator’s views on the tariff to convince the Democrats of Ala. that he is not the right man in the right place. Ad for Simmons Liver Regulator The number of candidates already in the field in several counties of the State is pretty fair evidence that there will be an abundance crop of them on hand for the struggle of 1888. George Leder, of Demopolis, Ala has been granted a patent for bale ties. LABOR ON THE RAMPAGE The Central Labor Union is an organization in New York which is composed of delegates from various labor organizations of that city. All the organizations of working-men of New York are not represented in this body, but enough of them are to make its action far-reaching in its influence if harmony prevails in its councils……………. London, November 2 – Noon – Jenny Lind (Madame Goldschmitt), the Swedish singer, is dead. She was sixty-six years of age. She had been seriously ill for some weeks. She retired from the stage after her marriage in American in 1852 but reappeared at various concerts in aid of charities. She had not appeared in public since 1866. -------------- The Agricultural Wheel of Blount County has boycotted the Blountsville News- Dispatch. Our contemporary is indeed fortunate, a boycott from that organization for any other only tends to build up the party or parties it is trying to destroy. ‘Rah for the News. To look around and see the number of people throughout the South that have recently become proselytes to the Mormon faith and the great number of foreign converts constantly arriving, one is forced to say that I n spite of all the efforts of the government to suppress it Mormonism is gaining ground steadily. A steamship landed at New York recently with 300 converts on board. The greater part of them were from England, Norway and Sweden. GREATEST IN THE WORLD -------------- Ad for Simmons Liver Regulator IMMIGRATION One of the greatest evils now threatening our government is unrestrained immigration from all quarters of the globe. Doubtless we are reinforced to some extent by a valuable and desirable class of emigrants; but there is an influx of scum and scurf rife in producing anarchy and discord and in to whose hands soon passes the ballot, thus rendering them a much more potent and turbulent factor. Socialism and communism, too are the outgrowth of this promiscuous immigration. This foreign trash set free from monarchical oppression and restraints, mistake anarchy for liberty, and thus become the greatest enemies to liberty and law. It is to this element that the constantly recurring strikes in almost all departments of industry are chargeable. With these facts staring us in the face, we are permitting this evil to continue and grow, we are receiving this foreign element with all its corrupting and contaminating influences, threatening our free institutions and poisoning the social atmosphere, while we are apparently helpless to restrain it. Reports show that immigrants are entering our port at the rate of five or six hundred thousand annually, or even at a greater rate. Already they exert a controlling influence in politics, holding the balance of power, and politicians are afraid to legislate against. them. We know of no remedy for this evil but to choose for our lawmakers men of character and integrity who are fearless to stand by their convictions. – [Eutaw Whig] Aside from every other consideration, Cleveland’s policy of holding the public lands for homestead for actual setters only is enough to commend him to the common voters of the country. He is the first Democratic President and the only one who has held to this line of policy since the election of Grant in 1868. We all know what General Grant’s and his Republican successors land policy was; they all favored the giving away, millions upon millions of acres of the public lands to corporations, enough land to make several states, to rich corporations, and denied to the poor man a homestead of 160 acres, because it is suspicioned that it contained a little coal. – [Mountain Eagle] PAGE 2 THE MARION HERALD Published Every Thursday Hamilton, Alabama THE FORT OF SAND – (poem) AN AMATEUR MURDERER – A Good Reason for Telling the Story at This Time CHINESE FOOT-GEAR – A Country where a Man’s Station in Life is Indicated by His Shoes TOOK THE CHANCES AND LOST TALMAGE’S SERMON – True Christian Character as Developed in Women PAGE 3 CONJURER’S MISHAPS – Sleight-of-Hand Tricks that Proved Expensive to their Performers FINE POINT IN LAW – Can a state be the Owner of Real Property in Another State?

We shall see bye and bye. Dr. M. H. KEY paid Pikeville a visit on last week. Our worthy County Treasurer M. M. FRAZIER of Pikeville was in town the first of the week. “Down with the Herald.’ Says the ‘Wheel’ but it don’t seem to be ‘downing’ very fast. Rev. JOHN ARNOLD, County Superintendent of Education was in town on last week and gave us a call. Give us another resolution. We have made pretty fair collections this week. Mr. GREEN HOLLIS of Lamar Co is visiting friends in and near Hamilton this week. U. S. Deputy Marshal, J. R. FULGEM, of Huntsville is now in Hamilton. Commissioner D. N. COOPER and Deputy Marshall WHITE returned to Hamilton on Saturday last. DOCK MORROW was taken in custody by some Franklin County men on last Sunday and carried to Belgreen. With enmity toward none but an eye singular to our county’s future welfare we greet our readers this week. We had the pleasure of meeting our friend, Mr. FRANK ALLEN of Pearce’s Mills while in town on Sunday last. The Herald’s motto – “Hew to the line let the chips fall where they may.” Messrs. W H. KEY, JOHN L. WHITE, WESLEY J. CLARK, and W. T. GAST, all paid Birmingham a visit on last week. “Be just and fear not.” Wonder if anybody knows how the Sheffield & Seaboard R. R. is getting on? We haven’t heard from it in some time. Another machine for manufacturing “moonshine” whisky was delivered to Com COOPER at this place on Tuesday last by one Mr. WESTBROOKS. Books of subscription to the capital stock of the Alabama great Northwestern railway Co. will be opened at the court house on Saturday next at 10 a.m. The specifications for a new court house have been drawn up by Mr. FRANK ALLEN, of Pearce’s mills and will be presented to the Honorable Court of Commissioners on Monday next. Our farmers are yet very busy hauling off their cotton. It all seems to be going to Aberdeen, but that sort of game will soon play out unless the Sheffield Road is built to Aberdeen via Hamilton. “Speak the truth.” Mr. W. W. WEBSTER, of Moscow, Kentucky, was in town on Tuesday. Mr. WEBSTER was once a citizen of this county and for several years was engaged in the mercantile business at Pikeville, but moved to Kentucky about twenty years ago and settled in Hickman County where he has since resided. He remained in town only a short time but while here paid us a visit and subscribed for the Herald. THAT RESOLUTION – The Marion County Wheel Boycotts the Herald We learn that at the meeting of the Marion County Agricultural Wheel held at Hamilton on last Saturday (Nov. 5th) the said Wheel passed a resolution boycotting this paper. Or in other words that no member of the organization in this county will either subscribe for, or patronize the Marion Herald. This glorious resolution is by no means a surprise to us or the Herald Co., we have long since discovered that the “Republican Rings” on the tail of the machine were hourly becoming tighter and that they could not long withstand the heavy pressure inflicted thereon by advice from a Democratic organ. However, we still claim that as a farmer’s organization we do not oppose the Wheel, but as a skillfully planned political clique we have opposed it and as such will continue to oppose it regardless of all the big “resolves” they may chance to make. It is true that we have some few subscribers who are members of the organization – men who pay for all they get. But with the exception of this few the men who compose the rank and file of the order do not patronize the Herald or any other newspaper. Now the idea of a few standing candidates for office, (men who have been standing in every known party since the war) and a few younger ones who seeing their chances for walking into officer were very slim, shout “freedom” mount the Wheel and trusting to fortune to let them ride in; the idea we repeat, of this hand-full of true Jeffersonian Democrats (with the democracy left out) trying to kill their county paper. Whey if the herald had been forced to depend mainly on the dear brethren of the Wheel for sustenance it would have perished long since. We don’t mean to say that there are no good men in the Wheel – far from saying it. We know several members of the organization who are good Democrats, men who would not stoop to do an unjust act, but these men we think have been misled, hoodwinked and will ere long discover their mistake and run to their old pasture – the fields of democracy. Now in conclusion we wish to say that the principles governing this paper are the same today that they were over three years ago when it first entered the broad fields of Alabama journalism, it was then strictly democratic and we are pleased to say that it remains the same, unchanged and unchangeable. Considerable excitement prevails throughout Lamar County over the recent discovery of gold, silver and iron ore. If we are to judge from the tone of our Vernon contemporary Lamar is on the eve of a most tremendous boom. The silver and gold is thought to exist in paying quantities and the ore is pronounced of the finest quality. Capitalists from New York, together with a number of prominent business men from Columbus, Miss have invested large amounts in various parts of the county. The debt statement issued at Washington on 2nd inst shows a reduction of the public debt during the month of October to be $15,833,695. “Clear de track de Wheel am coming” says the Ag-ri-ri-political Wheel to Democratic newspapers. “No longer will we submit to the dangerous influence wielded over tour great Wheel by Democratic organs throughout the country. So if we don’t elect some fine old bosses next year it will be a great wonder.” Yes, come about as near electing the “big bosses” as that big resolution did downing the Herald. The Montgomery Advertise is as live and progressive as it is reliable. It is now issued seven days in the week. Prof. W. W. WILSON of Uniontown is a candidate for State Superintendent of Education. Prof. Wilson is said to be an experienced teacher, well known over the state and will doubtless made a good race.
