Should Clio dealer tieur mit $1.00, and a full auu k WOltll TU COLUMBUS PKtM’I.E. Yesterday morning and again tliis morning we publish extracts from quite a number of exchanges of the ExquiRuii- Sun. Those exchanges speak in unstint ed commendation of the enterprise of our paper, and wo submit that they, above all others, are competent critics. We have felt constrained, therefore, to lay these comments before the public that the stockholders in the enterprise, the directors and all who feel an interest in the welfare of the Enquiukr-Sux may see in what esteem it is held by the newspaper fraternity in this and other states. Of course it is hut natural that the managers of the paper should feel much pride in such hearty appreciation of their efforts, hut we are constrained to say that, without the hearty co-operation ex tended us by tIre citizens and business men of Columbus our success would have been made impossible. An examination of the issue of the 10th instant, to which these exchanges refer, will develop that, the business men of Columbus patronized its columns in the most liberal manner, and that almost every enter prising business firm in the city is repre sented in it. Of course this must be as gratifying to the stockholders as it is to those who have immediate 'charge, of the paper. But Ibr the hearty co-operation of the business men of Columbus the Atlanta Constitution could not have written of ns that “it was the most perfect trade issue, considered in all its parts, which lias ever been is- j sued in Georgia,” nor would the Augusta News have classified it as “not a whit he- ! hind the best coming from any source.” After perusing its columns the Amerieus | Recorder tells us that “it is a finer mon ument, than any that could he made of brass or marble,” while the Gainesville Eagle is constrained to’say that “it makes ; a magnificent showing for the Lowell of j the South, and proves conclusively that no city in this section has made greater! strides in commercial and manufacturing | progress Ilian she lias.” Wind was accomplished by the Ex- (|i mini Sun on that special occasion can I he accomplished, comparatively, every i day if Hie people will give it the same hearty co-operation. We have no desire to complain of the patronage given the! paper, and we do not wish to he so understood, yet there are those who he- Hove that advertising in other ways will j prove more beneficial to their business. If ■ one-half the money paid out bv the citi zens ofGolumbus annually is utilized by using Ihe columns of the Hnijuiiirh-Sun, j we guarantee to send them every in own ing the host newspaper published in tlio south. And we believe that such adver tisements would do them far more service. There is a growing sentiment among advertisers in favor of newspapers as mediums for calling attention to Uie.tr ; business, and it is an evidence of the in- 1 creasing intelligence of the people that ' rock and fence painting is going out of 1 use. Educated men and women do not ! need to he appealed to by glaring litlio- [ graphs or letters three feet high. t'i\ili- zation has come to that pass where such ] displays disgust more than they attract J and are left to announce the coming of a ! second class theatrical troupe or the eir- j eus. Defacing natural scenery and fences, I by such unsightly and (taring cards have worked its own ruin. There is no method of advertising which appeals so directly to the more in telligent portion of our population ns the newspaper press. This has heen demon - strated time and again. One of the busi ness firms in this city paid the Enquirkr- Sun $75 for a card in the special edition of the 10th instant, and made a sale in a section least expected which more than paid for the investment «tn advertising. And this the direct result of inserting the advertisement in the Enquirer-Sun, as it would not otherwise have been se cured. Let our manufactures, our bankers, our merchants and all business men pon der this subject, and then let Columbus have the model newspaper of the south. The widow of a murdered man in Cali fornia has had a bitter demonstration that honesty on the part of her husband would have been the best policy. The husband was* wealthy man who let out contracts for railroad construction. He did not pay one of the contractors, and, It is evident that in looking around for the remedy, the commissioners meet with complexities again. This, too, in face of the fact that industrial depression seems to he a thing of the past and man ufacturing institutions in all sections of the country have all the business they arc cu[iahle of undertaking. With such conditions ns those the remedy ought to ho made visible, but the commissioners are still groping in the dark. They have proposed remedies, hut the remedies are intricate, and involve changes which only can he brought about by a complete revolution. Among the changes sug gested are: “Itestriction of land grants to corporations, restriction of immigra tion, the enactment of laws to stop specu lation, the establishment of hoards of ar bitration for the settlement of industrial disputes, the contraction of credit, a sound currency, a cheaper distribution of products and profit sharing.” Ii is not easy to conceive how the com- ; inissioners could have suggested remedies | with less likelihood of being carried out. i So far as restricting immigration is eon- j cerncd it would he both a difficult and a j delicate task, yet il need not be disguised that, nine-tenths of the labor disturbances in tliis country comes from a foreign ele ment and not from natives of this coun try. Not only this hut. the commission ers (ell us that “already 82 per cent, of all persons employed in our mechanical in dustries are of foreign birth, and how ever much foreign immigration lias aided in tlie development of railroad building, public works, rivers and other enterprises, the industries have been obliged to as similate labor faster than the demands for products have warranted.” Then what are we going to do about it? True I In' remedy is a restriction upon immi gration, but how and when is this to he done? It is like suggesting the impossi ble, and the commissioners seem to ap- preciate this, as they have offered no plan to bring it about. So far as a law to stop peculation, the contraction of credit by a legal process, a distribution of products and various other suggestions are concerned, they are equally as uutonable.siniply because they cannot lie put into exercise. But Uie most plausible and best remedy of all these, if we understand what is meant, is that <>1 “profit sharing.” And this requires only the efforts of the labor ers. There is hardly an institution in all the country, made up of stockholders under a chartered corporation, that 1 would not he glad to have its employes ■ as shareholders in the concern. The very excellent spirit that such a thing would generate and the vevv sate laetorv and immediately begun. There were no engineering difficulties in the way, but the work was excessively expensive to a city whose property had been robbed of half its value. The cost was cheerfully borne, however, and the construction of the extensive drainage system, resolutely prosecuted for six years, is completed at last. Memphis is now one of the best sewered cities in the union. The people are proud of their work, which they claim is the most comprehensive and ef fective sanitary task ever done in the same time in the country. The health of Memphis has been very good in the last, few years and the citizens believe that it will remain so.” The tact that the Dcs .Moines Register averages four editorials a day abusing “rebels” and “copperheads” leads the Missouri Republican to remark that the Iowa republicans are exasperated to see their majority dwindling away, and they are more venomous toward a democrat to-day than the Louisiana, planters were toward an abolitionist in 18(11. About 100 women met at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, and resolved to claim the priv ilege of votiug at the election this foil. An effort was made to capture the meeting in the interest of Henry George, but it was decided that the movement could not be controlled “in the inter est of any one man.” Don M. Dickinson, chairman of the Michigan democratic committee, and Congressman May- bury, of Detroit, have been at outs for a long time, but the other day they started for New York and Washington together, being on the best of terms and declaring that the Michigan democracy is as one man. “The Elite Engagement Calendars” is the latest fashion wrinkle for fair femininity. It will probably save considerable anxiety to young ladies who are engaged to several gentlemen at the same time. The independent democratic convention in Texas was not held, but the priuting house that fttrnishcd the circulars and posters has it on the hooks.
