Editor Wwit SnK!-I noticed In the
lost Issue of the HnUtprm an article
signed "Jucksonlan,"
JackNoiilaii uy he wants everything
like 1 was in Juckson' lime; tlm day
of old "Hickory" Is what he want.
The day of oltl Hickory are not the
question today, Longing for old time
tloii.t help us oui of our present condi
tion. Jack must call to memory thut
old thing have passed away, and Iw
hold nil tilings have become new. He
HiK'ls to the democrat to stand by
their color. I think Jack will have
faith a hlg as ml npple mid pray till
the next cuiiipalgn, without CeoMlug, In
order to keep his party all together, I
sympathise for yon, Jack, for you want
sntiieililng yoll CUIl't prstslltly get.
The reason you are nlway lu trouble,
Is iHH'ausc you are on the wrong side,
Free trade Is the rotli'iiest board lu the
dcmis'i'titlo platform. When they nil
get on this plunk the United State U
glus to tremble and there I hut one
wn.y to stop It and, that Is protection.
That remedy nets immediately, and
the remedy can only be procured at
republican head quarters, they having
ole control for the United Htute. A
free I rial Is ollered to every good demo
erst wheivln they will lie greatly bene
II leil. It Is no remedy for a populist,
they being too young to stand the
ubove muued remedy; It I too power
ful In It action for them. The demo
cratic, prescription for the United
State, namely; free trado 1 the cause
of busluesa being no sluggish today.
When It. Is applied, everything comes
to a stand still, manufacture have to
shut their mills down, merchant have
to discharge their clerk, rullmad dis
charge mnuy of their employe, run
triweekly Mains, the humming of the
spindles Is heard no mure, work simps
are shut up aud thoUBiuids thrown on
tbe charity of the people. English
manufacturer rejoice at our down fall
When free trade I applied, England
commence to oil her spindle ami
firing her good at us cheutmr than w
ean make them, because their employes
don't cost them more tlmn one half as
much a our do, Would our employe
lie willing to work for wage they pay
In England? No; would be the an
swer. Then why, under Hie name of
heaven, do you vote for It? That 1 a
problem I would like aoine democrat
to solve, why he vote for aoniethlug
tie don't want Tho people who
want to buy English good, let them
pay for them. Our home manufacturi
1 good enough for us, and every hl
load of English good hlp)ted here
take that much work from us. We
give them tlm work hi dn and w pay
for It They get our twucy and we
uftVr for ths need of It. I will give
the floor to Jack for tha present.
