attack les that corporate greed and central
i/..d power has placed upon them. vve
mogluw lßf urgent necessity for a change
tn conditions that now oppress the people.
We «gr<e with I’ens that it must oe de
cided within the next few years whether
or not this is to be an oligarchy of weal in
or a government ot the people, oy the peo
ple, for the people as the fathers of the
itepubiie intended it should be. real
ize that the I. mlency has been, for Lbe
past quarter of a century, toward a cen
tralisation of power that will give the
V4‘i*y It* w ’-iaOsolu tc control of tlic insuny.
And we believe this sort of thing, if not
remedied, will eventually culminate in a
revolution —if not of blood, at least of the
ballot. A revolution that will change
or reform our whole systi m of govern
ment, re-establish it on first principles
uml make this, in reality, the land of
liberty and home of the free.
And we believe, too, that Debs, -and all
other labor leaders, "agitators” if you
will, Are doing a good work in arousing
Uio masses to a proper understanding of
their condition; for this must be done be
fore the final act of emancipation can
come. We believe even the most extreme
of their number are accomplishing a cer
tain amount of good in warning the op
pressor ami in awakenlhg the oppressed.
Wo know that I>< bs who is so gener
ally mlsumlerslood presents facts that
cannot .be denied; points out acts of op
pression that cannot be condoned, and
paints conditions that cannot be defended.
Thus far we are in hearty sympathy with
Jtebs and his mission.
But is he right tn Ids idea of a remedy?
He projroscH a co-operative system—'the
very extreme of a soeilaistle form of gov
ernment. and he hopes to bring this about
by the formation of a new party. In the
first place. It is evident that Debs’ propo
sition involves a complete revolution in
human nature, as well as in an existing
form of government. The latter might be
easy of aceomplisiMiient, but the former is
a problem worthy of the Creator himself.
Such a distribution of wealth as Debs
proposes mi; lit have some merit —
ns a basis for starting a new
•world. ißut this matter for God him
self to attend to In Ills own good lime.
Even then, it is manifest that such a sys
tem would exist only temporarily. Human
aiature, ns it always has and always will,
would assert itself, as it always ’has and
always will, and some men would out-strip
.their fellows. As tbel was a better hus
bandman than Cain ami Joseph more pro
vident than liis brothers, so are men to
day, and will be for ages, more successful
Gran some of those around them.
A great percvwiage of the successes of
the world are, we admit, due more to a
fortunate combination of circumstances
than to the imssession of any superior
force, but success and heaven are the
goals for which we are all striving, ami
Io remove .the incentive for temporal
achievements would lower the standard of
mankind.
Debs is right in working for the better
ment of the condition of the masses, but
he is wrong in the remedy which he would
npply. Ills motive is good, his heart is
right, but his head suggests the wrong
solution of the problem. This, at least,
is our humble opinion, and we are free to
express it without losing our sympathy
for the cause which he represents.
It seems to us that the best solution of
the difficult lies, first, in electing men to
office who can and will work for such
measures of relief as the people demand.
Not men who go on the stump and utter
hypocritical sentiments to please the.mass
es, but men of known principles and integ
rity. The complete overthrow of those
political dynasties which keep unworthy
men in office by a series of political trades
tind trickery. Then the passage of laws
that will, as far as possible, relieve t*he
man of limited means of all form of tax
ation and place it on wealth in proportion
to its growth. A system of taxation that
will practically fix a limit for individual
fortunes, by taxing out of existence all
■wealth beyond a certain amount. Then,
of equal Importance, laws that will abso
lutely prevent the control of products and
property by trusts and combines; laws
that will make the formation of such un
righteous combinations a felony and suf
ficient provocation, if need be. for confis
cation. A monetary system that will pre-
vent a similar monopoly of the circulating
medium, and tariff laws based on the ac
tual demands of the government. The
■liberal use of the governments revenue in
public works, thereby providing employ
ment for the unemploye?!. Compulsory
education and the abolishment of child
labor. And last, but not least, government
ownership, as far as practicable, of all
publie carriers.
Such laws, with such men in power as
will uphold and enforce them. will, in our
•opinion, solve the problem of unequal
conditions and centralization of power*
And we believe the Democratic -party is
the channel through which these things
can be the soonest- and easiest accom
plished. The tendency of Democracy,
since it has thrown off Eastern influences,
has been to get eloser to the people. It
has progressed in all things' that tend to
u solution of present social, industrial and
financial conditions. It is the party, it
seems to us. through which the masses
must work out their emancipation—their
salvation.
It seems to us that Debs and his fol
lowers. Instead of wasting their votes for
a ticket that will be successful only in a
few isolated places, would more quickly
accomplish the end they seek by co-oper
ating with the regular Democratic party
in its effort to overthrow the trusts anil
combine*. reform the currency on lines
that take into consideration the interests
of the people as well as the interests of
banks and syndicates, and re-establish
the government on first principles.
The Democratic party may not now rep
resent all that they would have it repre
sent, nor does it represent all that we
desire, but it represents so much more
than all the ethers and gives so much
more promise of the fulfillment of our de
sires. that we would be foolish to abandon
it for a party that has no hope of suc
cess. If -Debs and his followers will look
at the practical side of the question, they
will join hands with those who promise
them the most, and work, through that
channel, to accomplish the other things
in time. This they can do, for they are
in the majority, ami in this country the
majority can rule if it will.
The election of Mr. Hanna to the United
States senate from Ohio has saved some
cabinet officer his job.
Launching Van Wyck’s Boom.
Our morning Republican contemporary
fairly outdoes itself in enterprise this
j morning by double-leading an article
from yesterday’s Atlanta Journal pur
■ J porting to show that the New York Jour- '
, . nal has deserted Bryan and 16 to 1.
It also shows characteristic modesty in
. ; announcing in its headlines that the New
; York Journal "Has been reading the Ma
; con Telegraph.” This, from the Tele-
I graph's standpoint, fully explains the
i Journal’s change of heart.
I It is difficult to decide which is the most
j Interesting, the Telegraph’s display of
gall or rhe announcement that McEwen,
■ an editorial writer on the Journal, thinks
Bryan ia not the man for the nomination
I in 1900.
j However, neither need cause any con- j
I cern; for the Telegraph s egotism cannot '
j do any harm unless it happens to "strike-
I in,' and Mr. McEwen's opinion of Bryan !
; is worth no more than any other man's !
, I opinion.
Nor is it really worth as much, when ;
j we consider the circumstances that have :
. led up to its expression. In the first !
I place, the Tammany crowd, with whom i
| the New York Journal trains, is deter- '
I mined to start a presidential boom for ;
• Van Wyck. The New York Journal's in- j
j terests lie in standing by Tammany in all I
of its undertakings.and, for some time
j past, it has shown a disposition to push !
; \an \\ yck s claims for the presidential
nomination.
Not that Van Wyck can measure up to
| Bryan in any single particular, but simply
because he is—Tammany’s candidate. Not
that the Journal loves Bryan less, but
Tammany more. And this is all there is
to the Journal’s change of heart. If, in
deed, it has changed at all, a thing which
we do not concede until we have it from
a better source..
In the meantime, it is not out of place
•to consider the Van Wyck boom as it is.
It is founded on nothing except Tamma
ny’s alleged ability to carry New York
state, and the Democratic irarty’s alleged
need for New York’s electoral votes in
national elections. But to offset this claim,
is the growing belief that the Democratic
piiiy can gel along without New York.
Besides this, there is a force at work in
this country that means the inevitable
overthrow of the party of trusts and com
bines. It Is coming just as surely as the
republic lives—and it is coming even if
the republic succumbs. Nothing can stop
it. Tiie Democratic party is recognized as
the party that must drive the corruption
ists and trusts out of [lower, and Bryan is
recognized as the leader ot the Democratic
party.
The mere deflection of the New York
Journal, in the hope of securing the nom
ination for a Tammany man, cannot pre
vent Bryan’s .nomination, nor prevent the
defeat of the Republican party in 1900. I-t
is a traitorous act, to be sure, for the
Journal to make a compromise at 'this
stage of the fight, to sacrifice principle for
what it would term "practical politics,”
hut It can have no serious effect on the
events of 1900. The people are determin
ed 'tn throw off present conditions and to
work out their emancipation through the
Democratic party—with Bryan as its
standard bearer.
Mr. MdEwen, and others who have been
"reading the Macon Telegraph,” to the
contrary notwithstanding.

The latest absconder from Georgia is
described as "6 feet two inches tall and
about SIO,OOO short.” This seems to be the
long and Short of it, says the Birming
ham News.
Has No Voice In the Matter.
today's ‘Atlanta Constitution contains
the following pointed editorial:
The (.Macon Telegraph, strangely enough,
seems to lie taking some interest in the
nomination by the Democrats of a candi
date for governor of Georgia. We publish
elsewhere an extract from what it says,
and commend it to our readers as ■». sort
of political curiosity.
The Telegraph is in favor of the Re
publican principles of high protection and
the gold standard, while the Democrats of
Georgia are in favor of a 'tariff for revenue
and the free coinage of silver—the two
policies being as opposite os the poles.
No doubt it would be thought very
strange if,- when the Republicans were
proparing to nominate a candidate, the
Constitution should undertake to give them
a column of tepid advice about what they
should do and how they should arrange
their matters, but it would not be stranger
than this amusing piece from the Macon
Telegraph, in which, ‘as a gold organ, it
expresses a lively hope th;»t the free coin
age party shall have no clique nor ela
query.
Nevertheless, we bid our gold standard
contemporary be of good Cheer. The mat
ter it is nervous about will go forward
quite to the sat isfaction of the'Democratic
people of Georgia. The Constitution led
the fight some time ago for the abolition
of packed "mass” meetings, and the sub
stitution of a primary election, at which
every voter willing to subscribe to the
tenets of the Democratic party should
have the privilege of casting a ballot for
the candidate of his choice, uninfluenced
by cliques, elaquers, tricksters, rings and
what not.
The people took a hand in the demand
for reform in this matter, and the contest
in behalf of primaries was won. The peo
ple have since had opportunity to express
their choice in the freest and most unmis
takable way. That is the end and aim of
true Democracy—to get at the will of the
people fairly and freely expressed, and
carry it out.
The Constitution goes on the theory
that it is never too early for the people
to take into consideration the conditions
that confront them; that it is never too
early for them to take the measure of
those who are ambitious for office; and
that it is never too early for them to cast
about in their own minds preliminary to
settling upon a candidate entirely worthy
of their suffrages.
The gold standard, of which the Tele
graph is so stout an advocate, has so far
taken value out of the property and pro
ducts of the people that all interests in
this state stand face to face with an
economic crisis of alarming proportions.
In the face of these conditions, which
have been growing and gathering in force
for a number of years, the tax rate has
constantly grown higher until it has
reached the highest mark ever known.
It is now so high as to constitute a con
siderable drain on the resources of the
people, and unless some remedy is found,
this drain will become even greater than
it now is. What is that remedy? The
first step toward finding it. is for the peo
ple in their wisdom to select as a candi
date for governor a man whose character
and career will commit him to the most
rigid economy n the administration of
the affairs of the state—a man who will
impress his individuality on the legisla
ture. and who will keep down all public
expenditures to the lowest possible notch
—a man who represents the common peo
ple, who represents genuine Democracy,
who stands squarely on the Chicago plat
form. who Is in favor of every demand in
that document, and who knows .ne needs
of the people.
Such a man will be nominated, not by
cliques or combinations, but by the people
at the ballot box in the primaries.
The Newnan Herald and Advertiser
comes forward with this explanation:
"The report circulated by some of the
newspapers of the state that Senator A.
O. Bacon was not complimented with an
invitation to the 'possum supper at New
nan on New Year's eve is untrue. The
further insinuation that his name was
purposely omitted from the invitation list
for political reasons is absurdly false. The
Herald and Advertiser is authorized by
the committee to state that an invitation
was mailed to Senator Bacon, at Macon,
on Monday, December 27th. and the hour
of mailing was sufficiently early to insure
its arrival at the office of destination
Monday night. If Senator Bacon failed
to receive it, the fact is chargeable to the
postal service and not to the committee.”
Chicago street car robbers are doubtless
of the opinion that the particular kind of
pin that is mightier than the sword is the
hat pin, eays an exchange.

Everlastingly Keeping at it.
“Keeping at it” is the secret of success.
Espeeialy is it eo in advertising. The his
tory of business success in this country is
full of instances wherein advertising has
been the direct means of the accumulation
of large fortunes. And as time has gone
on, and competition has increased in every
line of trade, the necessity of generous and
constant advertising has growm greater,
until it has become the essential, without
which failure is almost certain.
There is no better advertising medium
than The Macon Evening News through
which to reach the buyers of not only Ma
con, hut of the sections of the state sur
rounding Macon. The News circulation in
Macon is a larger percentage of the city's
total population than is the circulation of
the World or Herald of the population of
the metropolis. The News has more Macon
readers than any other Macon paper.
Hence it is the unequaled adver
tising medium of the city; and, fur
more, it reaches all classes of people.
You not only find it in stores and offices
and shops and factories, but it goes into
the homes of the people, and is read by the
ladies of the family as well.
We have received the tenth issue of the
Newspaper Manual of Remington Bros., of
New Y’ork, iN. Y'., and Chicago, 111. The
contents include complete lists of all the
newspapers in the United States and Can
ada, with their days of issue, politics and
circulations, and priperly classified lists of
the principal dallies and weeklies, and the
best agricultural, religious, scientific and
trade publications and leading magazines.
All the lists are catalogued by towns in
circulation, and 'properly classified lists of
the population is given of each town and
the county tri which it is located. The
Manual contains a vast quantity of val
uable information, concisely arranged, and
is handsomely and substantially bound. As
a book of reference it must prove invalua
ble in every business office, as well as to
every one doing business as an advertiser.
The actions of some of the governments
of Europe, looking to the invasion of'
China, attracts the attention of the world,
and the question is asked by some wheth
er the concentration of so many war ships
in the Pacific may not mean some
opposition to the annexation of Hawaii to
the United (States; if so, the war ships
will be handy to enforce whatever objec
tions may bo made. It is not possible that
England will get up a fight with the
United States, but there is no knowing
what, the young Emperor of Germany may
have in mind. In view of all the facts it
is thought best that the United States
may be well represented (by her navy in
the Pacific, as a party of observation, so
as to be able to take a hand if necessary
in behalf of this government, to the end
that her rights may be protected.
The postoffleff departmnnt has found it
necessary to issue a notice that the recent
consolidation of the cities and towns com
prising Greater New York did not change
the postal arrangements as affecting the
several localltiee. This notice was found
necessary because of the many mistakes
made by persons addressing mail matter
to friends in various parts of tlhe metrop
olis and esignating tike city location sim
ply as “Greater New York.” There are
said to be over three hundred streets and
avenues in Brooklyn similar in name to
those in New oY'rk city proper, so that
mail containing the the names of any of
them as the street address for delivery
would not be definitely enough indicated
to insure its delivery unless the city as
formerly known was indicated.
Messrs. Bradstreet and Dun state that
all articles of food now cost the wage
earner more than formerly, and also that
our iron and steel manufacturers in whose
favor there is a duty of about 50 per cent
to protect them from foreign competition
are now selling quantities of their nroduc
tions both in Asia and Europe—and be
cause they can undersell the manufac
turers there. It is naturally asked why
the necessity of a tariff in those particular
lines of American manufacture. The in
crease price made by the tariff, to be paid
by the American consumers, which pro
duces big dividends for the manufacturers,
and a decline of the bank balances of the
Americans who are obliged to use that
kind of property in their business.
i There are dozens of reasons as to why
Hawaii should be annexed, and while
there is some doubt as to whether the
treaty now under consideration in the
senate will receive the necessary two
thirds majority, it is certain that a ma
jority will vote for a bill to annex, and
that the house will concur. It is only per
tinent to give one reason, and that is that
the possession of Hawaii protects our vast
expanse of Pacific coast line from pos
sible attack by any hostile power. No
modern fleet can cross the Pacific in con
dition to make an attack, without stop
ping at Hawaii.
