Mistakes of the Protectionists.
The high tariff papers of the North will
not advance their cause by misleading
their readers, whether intentionally r*r
unintentionally, respecting Southern sen
timent relative to the tariff. The Phila
delphia Press, iu an article entitled “home
Encouraging Signs/’ makes statements
that are calculated to create a false im
pression. The Press says there are two as
pects of the late contest tor the Speakership
which ouzht not to be allowed to escape
the attention they deserve. One of these,
according to the Press, is “the growth of
protective principles in the South," and
the other is that the -advocacy of protec
tive principles by so many influential
organs of public opinion in the South
shows how rapidly the ground is being
made ready there for the reception of Re
publican seed.” The Press says
Mr. Randall was defeated solely
because he was the exponent
of the protective principle, and
argues that the newspaper support which
he received in the South indicates how
great the growth ot Southern sentiment
in favor of protection has been. The
Press mentions the New Orleans 1 tmes
is- Mi*-rut and the Picayune, the Memphis
Avalanche, the Nashville American, the
Atlanta Constitution, the Mobile Register,
the Birmingham Age, the Nashville Ban
ner, the Chattanooga Times, the Augusta
Chronicle, the Macon Telegraph and the
Richmond Dispatch as having warmly
advocated his election. It is rather hard
on these journals to say that they are en
gaged in preparing the ground for Re
publican seed. If they are so en
gaged they will hardly admit it.
It is. perhaps, only just to them to as
sume that they are unconscious or per
forming the work for which the Press
gives them credit. The New Orleans pa
lters supported Mr. Randall not because a
majority ot the people of Louisiana favor
protective principles, but because the su
gar interests favor such principles. If it
hadn’t tieen for sugar the NevT Or
leans palters would, doubtless,
have supported Mr. Carlisle,
Tnev are not protectionists from principle,
but from interest, and only to the extent
of protecting sugar. Their position now
is about what it lias always been, and
cannot Ik* classed among the Press' “en
couraging signs." Tligy make a grave
mistake, however, in offering to ally
themselves with the protectionists be
cause the protectionists, as indicated by
the report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, intended to slaughter sugar on
the first opportunity that presents itself.
We do not clearly understand why the
Atlanta t’onstttution abandoned Mr. Car
lisle and supported Mr. Randall, but we
feel certain it was not because it does not
sympathize with Mr. Carlisle’s tariff
views. With respect to the other journals
mentioned they favor protective princi
ples because there are manufacturing in
terests in their territory which they think
require protection, aud, perhaps, because
they believe in such principles. Their
position with regard to the tariff, however,
is not new, and is not, therefore,
what the Press calls “encouraging signs.”
If the testimony of the Presidents of the
leading cotton mills of this btate is worth
anything, the protection journals do not
represent the manufacturing interests of
< leorgia. Lately, liefore the Blair Senate
C muuittee, the Presidents of mills in
Columbus and Augusta testified that they
did not want any protection. The Press
is mistaken in saying that the Southern
Congressmen who supported Mr. Car
list* dul not represent Southern sentiment,
but that the papers which supported Mr.
Randall did. In this State, for instance,
nine out of the ten Representatives sup
ported Mr. Carlisle, and we venture to
say that nine-tenths of the people of Geor
gia favor Mr. Carlisle’s tariff views.
The Press is deceiving itself and its
readers when it assumes that because the
papers it mentions supported Mr. Randall
a foundation is being laid in the South lor
a “strong and vigorous" Republican par
ty. If the Press hopes to see a Republi
can party built up in the South ou pro
tective principles it will hope in vain.
The South is shrewd enough to see that
its road to wealth, and to agricultural and
manufacturing greatness, is by way of
low tariff.
Grass on the Farm.
A writing farmer says: “The first thing
l adv ise for the small farmer is to get one
half his land in grass, for without grass
no farmer ever did or ever will live well
and make money.” This is sensible talk.
Grass on the farm for pasture and for hay
means a herd of good cattle, good beef,
milk, butter, cheese, etc., to say nothing
of the vast increase of the manure heaps
for the" fields and gardens, and it may
well tie said that 110 farmer can live well
and make money without these things.
Cotton, wheat, hemp, corn, rice,etc., have
and may still lie profitably planted
on a large scale by capitalists who
pay no attention to minor matters,
because they neither live on, or are en
tirely dependent upon their farm mira
tions; blit tiie small farmer seldom lias
another resource than the products of his
tarui, and these it should be his care to
diversify and increase, not only to the ex
tent of enabling hint to “live well,” but
also to lay by a small sum each year
cither for the improvement of the farm,
or to meet the contingencies of the fu
ture. Stock raising in connection
with the growing of crops is
called mixed farming, and it is
only where this system has been adopt
ed that we see the highest types of suc
cessful paging farms. In the Northern
States it has been iu practice for many
years, and hence the superior advance
ment of agriculture in those States, and
the more rapid accumulation of wealth;
but the people of the South are waking up
to their interests in this respect, and vast
numbers of the fine cattle raised in the
North, are now being transferred to the
South for the purpose of stock raising on
farms heretofore wholly devoted
to crops. We hail it as
a favorable sign, and conti-
dent, from our knowledge of the great
resources of the Southern States, even in
the matter ol grass and stock raising
facilities, we predict that it will require
but a few years, after the stocking of our
farms, to put the South in competition
with the North in all the great markets,
in supplying beef, hides, butter and
cheese, as well as blooded animals for
the thousands of farms yet to lie opened.
Curious Steam Engines.
Something novel in the way of steam
engine manufactures is being established
at Nashville. The engine to be made will
be very similar to the small ones used on
narrow gauge roads, but are made with
grooved wheels to run on round pine poles
instead of an ordinary track. The pole
roads are very cheap, as the trees are cut
down, laid the right distance apart and
secured by pegs driven into the ground.
Little or no grading will be required,
and with a good force ot hands several
miles can lie laid in a day. The roads are
especially adapted to hauling lumber,
earth and ores, and for military transpor
tation. Similar roads are now in use at
some of the saw mills in Georgia and
Florida, but at present, we believe, they
are only used by mule ears. The engines
will lie constructed for strength rather
than speed, and will, it is claimed, be able
to pull heavy loads up steep grades, and
the wheels will have considerable lateral
play, so as to adapt themselves to ine
qualities in the width of the track.
The difficulties to be overcome in the
perfecting of such an engine are great,
and the present enterprise can hardlv lie
considered more than experimental, but it
it proves a success the system of trans
portation it involves will prove a great
factor in the development of hitherto in
accessible iiortions of the country.
Of course trains of car*will have to be
run very slowly on such roads as are
here contemplated, as the liability to ac
cidents will be very great on account of
the temporary and unsubstantial charac
ter of the road leds, and the mill men and
others interested will lie slow to take hold
of the system until its practicability shall
have been demonstrated beyond a doubt.

A Specimens Tariff Argument.
Montgomery Advertiser (Pern.).
A man claims to have discovered a quarry
of litotigraphic stone iu California, and the
San Francisco Bulletin thinks he ought to i>e
protected by levying a tariff on the importa
tion of the foreign article. The latter sells m
this country at almut ten times what it costs
in Banana, but that isn't profit enough for a
protectionist, of which the Bulletin is a fair
example.

secure the negroes their rights. This is an un
usually thin, if not glittering generality, tie
■toes not even hint hut kiud of law ought to

recent decision Congress can pass no law of
any binding force on this subject.

The I "ere in .fur Naturkunde, of Zickwau,

who is still alive, anil has never derived any
pecuniary benefit from his invention. The
circular claims that, barring a few mechani

The editor of a well-known English Tory

llie past week. First rate sport was obtained
in the well-stocked home preserves; indeed,
we believe the bag for quality and variety lias
rarely, if ever, been surpassed iu the British
Islands. By the kind permission of Mr. Sykes
we append it in extenso; 2.141! rabbits, 1,158
hares, 8 cock pheasants, 1 heu partridge,
230 water liens, 158 thrushes. 40 mis
sel ditto, 17 polecats, 2 stoats, 3 mag
pies, 140 jays, 3 peewits, 1 water rat, be
sides a large variety of sea fowl. A large
consignment of woodcocks was specially or
dered from Holland for the occasion, but
failed to arrive in time.” The paragraph
was a hoax, but it was copied luto many
daily and weekly papers. Mr. Sykes could
not see the “joke,” ami his solicitors at onee
demanded the name and address of the
author. Next day the editor telegraphed:
“Lord Lascelles authorizes us to give liis
name as the author of the paragraph.” In
the meantime all Yorkshire, according to the
London Truth, Is anxiously waiting to learn
the nature ot the “reparation” with which
Lord Lascelles is to soothe the wounded sus
ceptibilities of Mr. Christopher Sykes.
AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF
GEORGIA.
From the Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Union.
The Woman’s National Christian Tem
perance Union have set apart the 2od of
December as a day of thanksgiving anti
prayer to God lor the rapid advancement
of the temjierance cause throughout our
country and throughout the world. The
progress has been so marvelous of what
was a few years ago considered such a for
lorn hope, that God has surely been in it,
working upon the hearts and consciences
of men and women and stirring them up
to duty and the performance of His will.
The morning light is breaking,
Thu darkness disappears,
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears.
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar
Of earth’s remotest nations
Prepared for Zion’s war.
Aud thejlight that is breaking is so full
of promise to the wretched and hopeless,
to the captive and sin burdened, to the
innocent and defenseless and to the suf
fering and perishing, as to appear almost
like the second coming of the Star of Beth
lehem.
Let God’s people then everywhere take
courage, and, rejoicing with thanksgiv
ing, take hold and help along in the work.
We call upon the State of Georgia to re
turn special thanks for the glorious vic
tories gained and the benefits received.
Our sister States are looking towards us
with interest and for example. Let us
with God’s help set them a noble one of
speedy and lasting reformation.
The day set apart is the anniversary of
the Woman’s Temperance movement in
our country. And as it falls upon Sun
day' the ministers throughout the State
are requested to preach a Gospel temper
ance sermon, on the morning of the 23d of
December. And the people are requested
to have temperance mass meetings in the
afternoon or at night, at which collections
shall he taken as a “thank offering” to
the cause, and donated to the WOman’s
Christian Temperance Union, to help them
in their work.
The funds thus collected will be mostly
used in distribution of temperance litera
ture, for the purpose or arousing and
keeping alive the public interest upon the
subject. Many good people may be will
ing to help us who are opposed to total,
abstinence and prohibition. We hope
they may help us, and we ask them most
earnestly that if the original blessing of
pure stimulants has been turned by mis
use and adulteration into the most blight
ing curse to the human race, and is so
recklessly destroying souls that are so
precious in the world to come as to keep
two kingdoms—heaven and hell—at con
stant warfare for the possession of them,
then is it not right to ask God’s deliver
ance from such an evil, and to do all we
can to banish it from our midst?
If we are wrong in our plan of work
may God pardon it and tiring it to noth
ing. If right, may He bless and direct
and prosper.
To those who are opposed to us we
claim leniency for the sake of our motive
and the expected good. To those who are
in sympathy with us, we ask their prayers
and their encouraging help. And, as the
23d is a day set apart for this especial pur
pose, we hope the efforts will be made in
our behalf throughout the entire State.
We earnestly beg that “temperance
people” especially will exert themselves
to make arrangements for the occasion.
Respectfully,

State President W. C’. T. U., Augusta,Ga.

Where Power Besides In China.
London Spectator.
We are often, asked wherein, the great
Empite of China, power really resides,
and we believe the best short statement
is this; Subject to eertain immovable
customs, the Emperor, in his capacity of
lather of the people, can in theory give
any order, and can in practice punish
with decapitation or exile any official or
person who disobeys it. He is, in all se
rious aftairs, however, obliged to consult,
though not obey, a rather large group of
princes of his dynasty and great man
darins, who divide the departments and
the great viceroyalties among themselves.
The'dyuastv, moreover, being foreign, is
compelled ’to respect the army to
some extent; while this army
is for financial reasons, so limited
in number that it is difficult
to garrison the empire, and impossible
to hold it down for an hour. It Is the
tradition of the court, therelore, never
seriously to offend either the army or the
people in such a way as to provoke
emeutes, more especially in Pekin. At
present the Empetor is a boy, only just 12
years of age, and all real authority be
longs to a widow of the last fall-grown
Emperor, llien Fung—who is called the
Empress Mother, but is not the mother of
the Emperor—to Prince Rung, i.i Hung
Chang, the favorite of the native Chinese,
and two or three less known high officials.
They can send out any order they please,
and are obeyed, hut they cannot afford to
risk the insurrection which would folloxv
any great affront to the pride ot the peo
ple, such as the cession of Tonquin would
be China, iu fact, is a more solid Turkey,
with Sultan, Pashas, army, and limb
sharing power in unequal degrees. As in
Turkey, too, all four are bound in the
chain of a law which cannot be modified.

A TERRIBLE PROPHECY.
The Red Sunsets, Cyclones and Karth
quakes Foretelling Coming Disaster-
How To Meet It.
The recent mysterious appearances fol
lowing sunset and preceding sunrise have
attracted wide attention from students of
the skies and the people generally. Dur
ing the days of recent weeks the sun 6eems
to have been obscured by a thin veil of a
dull leaden hue which, as the sun receded
toward the horizon, became more lumi
nous, then yellow, then orange, then red;
and, as night settled down upon the earth,
a dull purple. At lirst it was thought
these appearances were ordinary sunset
reflections of light, but it is now pretty
certain that they are either the
misty substance of the tail of
some unseen comet, in which the earth is
enveloped, or a surrounding Stratum of
world dust or very small meteors. Pro
fessor Brooks, of the Red House Observa
tory. Phelps, N. has turned his tele
scojie upon these objects aud discovered
what be thinks are myriads of telescopic
meteors. If it is unorganized world dust,
or decomposed vapors, as the Democrat
and Chronicle ot Rochester, N. Y'., re
marks: “How is this matter to be dis
posed of? Will it settle and form a de
posit upon the earth, or remain a partial
opaque shell about the earth to cut off 1 a
portion of the sun’s light upon it?”
Whatever the mystery is, there is no
denying that some very strange forces are
at work in the upper airs. The terrible
tornadoes and oyclones which have swept
our own country, and the fearful volca
noes and earthquakes which have de
stroyed so many cities and thousands of
people—the tidal waves which mysteri
ously rise and fall on coasts hitherto un
vexed by them—the tremendous activity
which is evident in the sun by the con
stant revelation of enormous spots upon
its surface—all iudicate unusual energy
in the heavenly bodies.
These circumstances recall Prof. Grnn
mer’s prophecies that from 1881 to 1887
the passage of the five great planets—
Mars, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus and
Saturn—around the sun would produce
strange and wonderful phenomena. He
says: “The waters of the earth will be
come more or less poisonous. The air
will be foul with noisome odors. Ancient
races will disappear from the earth.” He
attempts to prove his prophecy by the
fact that in 1720, when Mars and Saturn
made their passage around the
sun coincdentally, great destruc
tion and mortality visited all parts
of the globe. He also found the
same results in previous perehelion pas
sages of the planets, and argues that these
circumstances always produce epidemics
and destructive diseases which will baffle
the skill of the most eminent physicians;
that the poor will die by thousands, the
weak and intemperate falling lirst, those
whose blood has been impoverished by
excess of work or dissipation next, and
only those who are in comparative vigor
shall escape to enjoy the era of renewed
activity and prosperity which will follow
the period of destruction.
Inasmuch as the entire world seems sub
ject to the sway of the heavenly bodies no
part of the earth, he thinks, can escape
scourging. He even predicts that Amer
ica will lose over 10,000,000 of her people;
that farmers will be stricken with lear
and ceaSh to till the soil; that famine will
make human misery more wretched; that
hundreds will flee to overcrowded cities
for aid in vain; that sudden changes in
ocean currents, temperature and sur
roundings will entirely transform the face
of nature and climate of countries; that
the air will be so foul with malaria and
other noxious gases that those
who survive will be troubled with
disorders of the digestive organs;
that many who escape other ills
will bloat with dropsy and suddenly pass
away, while others will grow thin and
drag out a miserable existence in inde
scribable agony for weeks. Neuralgic
pains in different parts of the body will
torment them. They will easily tire and
become despondent. A faint, hot feeling
will be succeeded by chilly sensations
while hallucinations and dread of impend
ing ill will paralyze all effort. “The birds
iu the air, the beasts of the field and even
the fish of the sea will become diseased,
poisoning the air and poisoning the waters
of the globe.” We are told on the other
han l that those who shall pass through
this period of trial will have larger
enjoyment of life and health.
The earth will yield more abundantly
than ever before. The animal king
dom will be more prolific and life
prolonged very materially. This prolonga
tion ot life w ill be owing to the healthy
electric and magnetic influences that will
pervade the atmosphere. It would per
haps seem that the present redness of the
sun, and the presence ot a belt or veil of
cosmic matter, justified, in a measure,
the prediction of Prof. Grimmer, but
disturbing as his prediction may be, we
are told for our comfort that the strong
and pure blooded need have little to fear
in these calamities, that those who are
delicate or indisposed should adopt means
to keep the system well supported and the
blood pure, and that the most philosophi
cal and effective method of accomplishing
this is to keep the kidneys and liver in
good condition. From the testimonials of
such men as Dr. Dio Lewis and Prof. It.
A. Gunn, M. Lb, Dean of the United
States Medical College, New Y'ork, and
thousands of influential non-professional
I>eople, it seems almost certain that for
this purpose there is no preparation
known to science equal’to 'Warner’s Safe
Cure, better known as Warner’s Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure. This medicine
has acquired the finest reputation of any
preparation that was ever put upon the
market. It is a radical blood jiurifier,
which soothes and heals all inflamed
organs, strengthens the nervous system,
washes out all evidences of decay, regu
lates digestion, prevents malassintila
tion of food in a philosophical and
rational manner, fortifies the system
against climatic changes and malarial in
fluences and the destructive agencies
which seem to be .so abundant in these
“evil days.”
It is not out- purpose to dispute the cor
rectness of Professor Grimmer’s prophe
cies. As we have said, the marked dis
turbances of the past few years would
seem to give a semblance of verification
of his theory. It is certain, as above
stated, that we are passing through what
may be regarded as a crucial period and
it is the part of wise men not to ignore,
but to learn to fortify themselves against
the possibility of being overcome by these
evils. It is a duty which each man owes
to himself, and his fellows to mitigate as
much as possible the suffering of humani
ty, and iu no way better can he accom
plish this purpose than to see to it that
lie, himself, is fortified by the best known
preparation in the strongest possible man
ner and that he exert the influence of his
own exatnpie upon liis fellows to the end
that they, too, may share with him im
munity from the descructive influences
wfiieh seek liis ruin.
