What Has Been Done.
It is the custom with soreheads to say
that the National Democratic adminis
tration has done nothing, despite the
fact that it has carried out the platform
demand for the repeal of the Sherman
act, the demand for the repeal of the
Federal Ek tion laws, and has within a
few days of its passage the tariff bill so
long labored for. It may now be said to
"be a certainty that the tariff bill will be
passed, within 30 days, with an average
reduction of 30 per cent, on the duties
now charged, This means the lifting of
a direct burden of 70 millions from the
backs of consumers, and incidentally at
least twice as much more by the reduc
tion in the price of protected articles
made in this country. In other words,
the tariff bill, which will become a law
on the frst of July, will save the people
two hundred millions annually and will
at the same time enlarge the market for
our products and stimulate manufactures
tremendously.
This is a great deal for an administra
tion to ac< omplish in one year, but this
is rot all, aud the item we are about to
mention is ore of which Georgians
ought to be proud, because it was ac
complished in the Interior Department,
pr sided over by a G eorgian, Hon. Hoke
Smith, and it is due mainly to his cour
age and h ; s personal sapervis’on of the
pension work that this tremendous
saving has been made. Here are the
figures: During the "rear ending July
Ist 1893 the expendit x-- for pensions
were $160,000,000 and President Har
rison, in his ’".st me sage, estimated the
pension appropriations for the year end
ing July Ist 1894 at $187,000,000. This
period has been passed and the actual
expenditures to July Ist will be $141,( 00,-
090. This wi'l be a saving of £16,000,-
COO on I resident Ha iso i’s estimate.
It was made under a tremerdocs fire
which even the Democratic congress
men from the Northern and Middle
States were not able to stand. The ad
ministration b.'d to leer the whole
bimt of it alone and it is mainly due
to Mr. Sir ; th that this was a eomp v 'shed.
Enormous Burdens of Pensions
A fter all that has been s,.id by the
pre sabout the eiioiu’or« br'deas of
pen iOM, it icirri i I for this admii'k
trat.iou, through a Georgia Secretary of
the Ini? .lor, t > b'op ti e rising tide of
pub’ ic pl,’udcr, ar d cr t the expe .'d’hires
25 per cent below the estimate of the
pr - cd ng pr - ideal. The United Suites
has been pay ng for pensions more than
England, b xunce, G< rmaay and a’l the
nations of Ei”x>pe combmed; more than
England or France or Germauv pays for
army, navy and pensions, and more than
all the largest pension rolls of European
nations iu the most extravagant year. It
has been s.rid. very often that Eu -ope is
an aimed camp, ready to be called to
war, and that the weight of its arma
ments is grinding the people to pow
der; yet v.lth a’l their sold’ers and a’l
the’r expensive armaments, they have
not appro, h d the prodigious bi den of
the pension ro’l of the United States.
This has been k town for yeris and a
continuous p .ot' st has gone up; but it
remained for a Democcaiic administra
tion and a Georgia Secrete y of the In
terior t cut off a for’ h of the great bur
den at one poweiful stroke. This re
sult a’oae is worth to the people e’l the
effort it cysts to elect a democratic ad
mini, iraiiou..
Mr. Cleveland was a pion r in this
great work. His veto of a pension bill
during his first administration really
open d the work for pension reform,
and during the Inst presidential election,
while most Northern democratic candi
dat s were pulling w’res for the sold’er
vote, Mr. Cleveland was one of the few
men iu that latitude who spoke out
boldly for pension reform.
I. ’t us now se n up the achievements
of the national democratic administra
tion du ’’g the fir.,t ye.’r. It has in
compliance with the demands of the
emocr.itic platform, accomplished the
following results:
First, the repeal of the Sherman act.
S’ ond, the Repeal of the od’orsfeder
al election law, which ca t the blackest
shadow that fell upon the South since
the war, and threatened the very foun
dations of free government and the au
tonomy of the states.
Third, it has practically passed the
Wilson bill, which will save the country
two hundred millibns a year and will
give commerce, a new birth. P”*-
:
Fourth.it has saved the country forty
six millions of fraudulent pensions, be
sides other important economies in va
rious departments.
These are the results, unequaled by
any former administration since Jeffer
son bought an empire from a despot, and
added it to our free country. These
great achievements were accomplished
in the face of the most prodigious sore,
head campaign that was ever organized
within a party for ts own defeat. The
administration isjwringing victory out of
obstacles that seemed insurmountable;
the bickering of disapppointed ambition
will give place to the plaudits of a grate
ful people; the cries of deluded fanatics
will be drowned by the rising hum of
renewed industry; the crazy freaks of
idleness, now breaking oat in ugly
humors on the surface, will disapear as
new commerce, new blood and new life,
thrill the frame of the body politic. The
storm is breaking and its gloom will
soon be overpast. Patieuce, sublime pa
tience,is having its perfect work; and
courage, of that high kind which can
stand unmoved and see a frowning
world go by, has won a victory complete
and lasting.
Atkinson Against tne Old Soldiers.
Mr. Atkinson in all his speeches
boasts of his love for the Confederate
Veterans and of his efforts iu their be
ha 1 -". How does his record compare with
these professions? He voted against the
acceptance of the Soldiers’ Home in auy
form.
Atkinson For the Corporations.
Mr. Atkinson dodged the vote for the
important bill to enlarge the powers of
the Railroad Commission. This bill
was considered necessary by the Rail
road Commission in order to enable them
to protect the people against unjust dis
criminations and extortionate charges of
rai’roads.
Atkinson For Fraudulent Bonds.
In 1893, while he was Speaker of the
House of Representatives, Hon. W. Y.
Atkinson came down out of the Speak
er’s chair and made a speech in favor of
the payment of $42,000 of bonds which
the state has repudiated.
The next thing to be taken up after
tbe passage of the tariff bill will be the
repeal of the ten per cent tax on State
banks. The democratic administration
is pledged to this and when the tariff bl 1 1
is out of the way it will be heard from.
Tbe House Journal for 1889, page 1003
shows that he did not vote on a bill to
amend the acts in reference to disabled
Confederate Veterans.
Atkinson Against Schools.
Mr. Atkinson dodged the vote oa a bill
to esriblish a permanent school fund
and provide for the payment of the
sawe’nto the [tre-srry.—House R'coru,
1890, page 1094.

A STRANGE CASE.
Z. -
How an Enemy was Foiled.
The following graphic statement will be
read with in tenseinterest: “t-cannot describe
the numb, creepy sensation thatexlsted In my
arms, hands ana legs. I had to rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, to overcome
in a measure the dead feeling that had taken
possession of them. In addition, I had a
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an Indescribable ‘gone*
feeling in my stomach. Physicians said it
was creeping paralysis, from which, accord
ing to their universal conclusion, there is no
reuef. Once it fastens upon a person, they
say, it continues its insidious progress until
It reaches a vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. I had been doctoring
a year and a half steadily, but with no par
ticular benefit, when I saw an advertisement
of Dr Miles' Restorative Nervine, procured a
bottle and began using it.' Marvelous as it
may seem, but a few days had passed before
every bit of that creepy feeling had left me,
and there has not been even the slightest
indication of its return. I now feel as
well as I ever did, and have gained ten
pounds in weight, though I had run down
from 170 to 137. Four others have used Dr.
Miles' Restorative Nervine on my recomen
dation, and it has been as satisfactory in their
cases as in mine.”—James Kane. La Rue. O.
Dr. Mlles’ Restorative Nervine is sold by all
druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent
direct by the Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart,

bottles for $5, express prepaid. It Is tree from
opiates or dangerous drugs.
From A Commissioner.
Mr. Edit it; Since the g ’ od j
have had their say ’n full also tbe Tri
bane a.ad qu’et reigns supreme again, I
suppose it wi’l not be amiss f>>r a com
mi'Joner to be allowed to come'■j the
front in a few lines. No one will as - rt
that the commissioners have receive d
money but what they are .lawfully en
tit’ed to. Why ta’k of a mardamtis
now after so long a time of payments
being made for a period of 8 to 10 years
straight along? Why uy to limit down
the present Board, when even Presi
dent Cleveland is Liven credit for his ad
ministration during these strenuous
panicky, financie’, hard times? I suppose
the present Board are as hoEora.ble as
the county has ever had, they need no
defense at my hands, I merely ask for
them fair play. They certainly received a
triumphant re-election at tbe hands of
the people, their books aud tbe bills
paid are all subject to inspection. I for
them court the fullest investigation and
ask that when Judge Henry is : shod to
issue the mandamus that why not be
include the names of Gammon, Grace,
Clover, Whitmore, Ayer, Morton, Bryan,
with C’ayton, Glenn, Foster,Wright and
Selman ’f they are as equally subject f s
we are. “Bear ye one anotbers bi nleus”
in the dammanus. We are ready to take
or- seats with them and answer for a’l
orr deeds on the lire mentioced. We
are no criminals and will not have to be
hunted, but are ready to take a front
seat and face orr accusers! Again why
this writing anonye ous letters to Solici
tor and members of the board intimat
ing convicts were being ’vorked for po
litical pm poses and being mistreated?
Why not come to the front. Now to
sem r.p the pay for hire of convicts.
Why refuse to pay your oy. u officers ard
pay a)l others wh’’e if any are left out
it should be all others rn preference to
you'’ own, as they live amojg us ard
spend their roney 1 ere? A member of
tbe grand jury said if it was not the law
it should be to pay tbem. We believe in
equal rights and justice to a’l and special
favors to none.” We ask a full compari
son of salaries paid by former board with
orr-s. We des ; re no newspaper controversy
lam not yet ready to be 1 eve but that
Floyd county has a full set of as honor.'.-
able competent officers second to none in
the Empire State of the South.
Commissioner.
Says the Manufacturers’ Record:
‘‘The recent convention held in Wich
ita, Kans., with a view to the encourage
ment of direct trade between the West
and Europe through Southern points,
adjourned to meet in New Orleans on
June 12. The business associations of
the latter city have now united in rn
i’lvilatioir to all organi
zations iu the Soula and West to send
delegates to this meeting. It is desired
that as large a gathering shall be secured
a« possible in order to fully discu s the
question of the business union of the
West and South, not oa lines of section
alism nor of financial theories, but on
the solid basis of the natural advantages
of Southern ports for handling the ex
ports of the West and the imports need'd
by that section. This great move is
simply an inevitable outcome of tbe
southward trend of all business interests.
Instead of shipping its produce to Europe
through north Atlantic poin and im
porting through the same, ti e mighty
West bus awakened to the re.Jizat’ou of
the greater profit of doing business
through Southern port-. The resu'i of
this new order of things n'e.:i?s a vast
increase in tbe traffic of Southern rail
roads, a great development of south At
lantic and gu’f ports and a closer com
mercial and manufacturing intercourse
between the West and the South.
