The constitution requires all state taxes to be Jevied uniformly ad v Fa lorem on all species of property “stib- ject to taxation, This endment is not intended «interfere with that provisiou. Taxes for state purposes will continue fto be levied on the property of all. persons and corpor- ations living or doing business in cities, on the ad valorem principle,as at present, but the amendment gives municipalities, with the consent of e constitu- amendment U “| “glittering |v are going to'etick to it.

Now, however, things are different. Hard times are vanishing and the la- borer is finding work. Statistics from the state of Ohio show that on July 1,97, the number of unem- ployed in that state had been reduced by nearly one-half since July 1, "96. The farmer is getting good prices for all his products. Dollar wheat is al- most in sight, having sold yesterday in Louisvilie for 80 cents. It will take facts now to control votes, When the silver orator talks about the ‘‘insuflicient and short standard’’ he will be asked for a specific defini- tion. The farmer will say that it does not applyto the price of his wheat, and the laborer will say that it does not apply to his working days and his wages. General statements will no longer go. The financial is- sues this,fall will be discussed with full stomachs and full barns. It will take solid, substantial proof to overcome the convincing arguments contained in cancelled mortga good bank accounts, well-clad chi dren and happy wives, HARMONIOUS CONVENTION, Bryan's confident the legislature, the power to levy the much heavier local taxes, imposed for local purposes exclusively, either on the ad valorem system of licenses and income or franchise taxes, or both. Speaking of the above amendment the Louisville ‘‘Commercial’”’ says: “The present rule requiring taxes for local purposes to be levied in the same way as taxes for state purposes is working a great hardship on mer- chants and manufacturers doing {bus- iness in our municipalities, putting them to great disadvantage compared with their competitors in other states and driving industries and capital away from them. The amendment restores local self government to towns and cities in matters of tax- ation for local purposes, and should be adopted by the people as over- whelmingly as it was by the Legis- lature, ARGUMENT. “One dollar wheat,”’ says the gold bug, ‘‘should cheer the farmer.’’ It would if it was not two dollars to live where it was formerly only one. A price and a half for one thing will never delight the people when they have to pay two prices for their needs. The above from the evening ‘News"’ is a good sample of the ar- gumente that the free silverites use, aud it also shows how inconsistent the calamity howlers are, We were told by these same people, during last year’s campaign, that gold had appreciated ; that 1s, that the pur- chasing power of gold hod greatly in- creased ; and the argument was made that the appreciation of gold bene- fited no one but the capitalist, he being the only one who had any gold according them, and hence the}; cry that gold is the rich man’s], to money. money question.

The convention transacted its business quickly, made en excellent nomina- tion fur clerk of the court of appeals, adopted its resolutions and adjourn- ed in peace and harmony, just as the Republicans of the state expected it to do. Shortly after 2 o'clock Hon. C. M. Barnett, chairman of the Republican state committee called the convention to order, In his opening remarks Mr. Barnett said in part as follows “We are told that in the coming contest we are again to meet the is- sues, ‘free silver’’ and ‘‘turiff.’’ We will gladly accept the challenge, since it is admitted by the National Democrats that we are right on the money question, and by the silver people that we are right ag to pro- tection, Our free silver friends will soon find that a great army of our citizens, who 4 year ago were ready sympathizers, have lost interest in heir organization since the passage fa protective tariff.

Chair- man Deboe addressed the convention as follows: Gentlemen of the convention: I am profoundly grateful for the dis- tinguished honor conferred upon me and your generous confidence as the presiding officer of your temporary organization. I appreciate the re- sponsibilities that rest upon me, and if they are successfully met it will be due to your loyal support.

Protection of the labor and indus- tries of this country from the pauper labor of Europe is essential,to Amer- ican prosperity. As evidence of this fact we ask a comparison cf the prosperous condi- tions of the country under the pro- tective system with those of the de- pression of business, financial ruin and bankruptcy under free trade. ; We believe that tue great financial panic under President Cleveland's administration was largely due to the tepeal of the McKinley bill and the substitution of the free-trade Wilson bill. and congress were elected last fa the country started again anew on way to prosperity. The Republican party is in favor of a sound and safe financial system, and believes that this is best 1 tained by having gold as the stan of values. \ It believes in the coina of all the silver that can be kept at parity with gold, so that every dollar is as good as every other dollar. It is opposed to the free cou silver at the ratio of 16 tol, but it is willing to aid other nations in bringing about international bimet- lism, There should be, as we believe, thc enactment of some wise and law looking to a revision of our cur. rency system. We believe such a law would be for the general good and prosperity of the donmtry.

Narrow Eseape From Death of a} Passenger on the Steamer Dick Fowler. A Strange Darkey’s Pistol Acci- dentally Discharged, After Being Pointed at Several. A tragedy was narrowly averted on the Dick Fowler last night between Metropolis and Paducah. A colored man bvuarded the boat ro and paid his fare to Ogden’s nding. Instead of getting off the boat there, he concealed himself on roof aud was found there at- tempting to steal a ride to Padu- cah, He was taken below and a crowd to question him. Presently someone discovered a Colt's 44-cali- bre revolver protruding from a sheath attached to a belt, It looked about a foot long and was loaded. After it was taken away from hin the crowd proceeded to have some fun at the frightened darkey’s ex- pense. The held court and decided to hang him. The rope was secured and the noose adjusted, and the dar- key, trembling in every limb and rightened nearly to death, was slow- ly hauled up, but then released, The rowd tired of this fun, and turned its attention to the pistol. Capt, Billy Crozier, head clerk, thought he bad removed all the loads, and sev- eral had been playing with the weapon, making each other give up their valu- and such things, when Clerk rozier took the pistol and began apping it. It went off, as every svloaded pistol is expected to do, sith a deafening report, and the big ad pellet ploughed through two e hree staterooms, but fortunately truck no one. It happened that the jstol was pointed towards no one at ‘he time, but several times it bad von during the night. Neediess to say, this ended the fun on the Fowler for the night, A.
