This man Brice is known to be as corrupt as sin. It is known that he bought a seat in the United States Senate from Ohio, a state in which be does not reside. Aside from his political corruption his business methods show him up in no more favorable light. The Nashville Herald speaking of the Briceville coal mine trouble says: The present serious condition has been brought about by tbe methods of Brice, Thomas & McGhee, who now own all of what are known as the East Tennessee group of coal mines. They leased the Cincinnati Southern Railroad and raised the shipping price of coal 50 cents per ton, thus virtually closing the mines of other owners who could not successfully contend against such odds. It may be said that they have killed every mine except those on the Nashville and Chattanooga Iine and the Birmingham line. It has been a move on their part to drive out and paralyze competing mines of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, and they have been in a position to accomplish this since they secure a heavy rebate on their own shipments over lines of which they were part owners or lessees. With the Louisville and Nashville Railroad they have an ironclad contract whereby neither is to interfere with tbe other's territory, They have influenced the placing of convict labor in the mines, and the result will be to drive all free miners out of the State, Now, in fact, the only free mining group is that known as the Walden Ridge. The Memphis Commercial says: The Mr. Brice here mentioned is the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee and a Senator from tbe state of Ohio. He has had a good deal of experience in politics and is accounted to be quite a practical politician. He must, therefore know that it will not do in this state for tbe Democratic party to have the toilers and wage earners arrayed against it as against a party which does not hesitate to fix upon them the stigma, disgrace and degradation of contact and competition with tbe convicts leased by a corporation, which also has a deal with two of the strongest railroad companies doing business in tbe state. Labor is the paramount question of the hour, and anything that effects it deleteronsly is a thing to be dealt with as quickly and summarily as possible by tbe law-making power of the state. In face of all these things, and many more equally as bad, not a Democratic paper in the North is demanding his resignation from the head of the Democratic Committee., Our Democrats are certainly a sickly and discriminating set of reformers.
