Unionism An Object Lesson.
The cotton mil) operatives of Augusta
an about to pay dearly for their (mistake
hi failing to maintain an organization for
their own protection. Many of their owu
number were the bitterest in denouncing
ct.< chortu of certain lalxir leaders to or
ganize a union in that city, and thus it is
<he mill people of Augusta find themselves
today without any established organiza
tion that can act for them in the matter
of wage reduction which has so disturbed
them within the past few days.
We do not refer to thia mater to urge
the claim® of the operatives or to preju
dice th< iiossition of the mills, for we are
not fully informed as to the conditions
existing among the Augusta cotton mills
and therefore know nothing as to the ne
cessity for this sweeping cut In iwagee.
We merely call attention to the helpless
condition of the Augusta operatives to
demonstrate how much better off every
laboring man is who belongs to and faith
fully support* his union. The one who is
apathetic in his unionism, or who refuses
to maintain some sort of organization for
Ids own protection and that of his brother
laborer certainly falls to comprehend the
conditions under which he is living. He
fails to understand what organized labor
jhas done and is still doing for the wage
sarners of the country. He may be doing
well enough himself for the time /being,
and it is this, probably, that makes him
Indifferent, but if he Is a student of those
problems which should interest him as a
laboring man he must have learned what
unionism has done for labor as a whole,
even if It may have done nothing for him
directly -though there are few laboring
,linen In this country /who have not 'been
Iwncfltt, <1 in a large measure Indirectly by
the whohs-orne Influences of trades unions,
wtu t lier closely or remotely located.
In the first place they have raised the
average of wages in almost every branch
of trade; while, at the same time, pro
moting efficiency and skill. They have se
cure! for their members absolute personal
Independence; and without them the con
dition of our working people. In the largo
centers at least, would be closely akin to
slavery. Political and perhaps religious
liberty would bo unknown among this
clas« of people, but for the protecting arm
of unionism.
View it’ as you may you Will bA forced
to the conclusion that the trades union
ba« been the salvation of the laboring
man. «is well as a benefit to the employer,
first In promoting efficiency and reliability
and next in affording easy means of fixing
or adjusting wage scales and other mat
ters coming up where large bodies of men
nre employed. As a (bußlnees proposition,
therefore, the labor union is desirable. It
Hhould bo desired by the employer as well
as by the employe, and It usually is. ex
cept where the employer desires to treat
Ids men unfairly, er as slaves.
As a matter of right and political
economy there is as much reason why la
boring people should not organize for their
own protection as there Is why men
should organize fraternal orders. Cer
tainly laboring men have as much right to
tlx a scale of wages for their labor as the
manufacturers have to meet and fix a
price for the product of that lalbor. It
ts wlf protection In both Instances, and
where each act within reason is a benefit
to tie gained by all concerned.
The Proper Plan for Relief.
I,L is enough that the practice of "tax
dodging” should Inflict an injuctlce on our
most cot;s< icntlous eitlzens; but It Is mak
ing this glaring eveil doubly harm 1 d «’>< n
you go so far as to deprive Gt' • s I
drefl of a portion of the meagre idncatiun
now accorded them in order chat uie prac
tice may continue.
For the life of us we cannot see how
(any man .who has the interests of his
e»tate at heart can favor a reduction of the
(school appropriation when there is abun
dant evidence on every hand of gross viola
tions of the tax law, and abundant reason
to believe that this wrong can be corrected
without any great trouble.
it seems to us a mere question of "tax
Reform;” whether or not our law makers
are willing that the masses shall struggle
cilong under the present system, (relieving
them merely by taking .their children out
of school) or whether they have the cour
age to adopt a system that will practically
double the revenue from taxes, without
raising the rate —and allow the .present
school and pension appropriations to re
main as they are.
There can be no doubt of the fact that
more than enough property escapes tax
ation in Georgia altogether than is neces
sary to make up the present deficit, even
at a lower rate. The proof is available
and some of It is sufficient to send some
people in Georgia to jail on a charge of
perjury, if those charged with the enforce
ment of the tax laws would but do their
duty.
These latter claim, it te true, that the
present machinery for enforcing a fair and
XuU return of property Is not sufficient.
If this is true, they are in part excusable,
tout the Legislature cannot be excused for
allowing such a "condition to continue.
There is no doubt of the fact that the
Legislature has the power to correct the
evil.
Then .why inflict a further injury upon
the state by shortening the school term’
Why talk about a reduction of petty sala
ries? Why this cry of retrenchment? Bet
ter put a stop to the fraud that makes re
trenchment seem necessary. Better get at
the root of the evil. And we aM know
where to find it.
It is too much to ask the proud, progres
sive state of Georgia to take a step back
ward merely because some people insist
on paying taxes on one-tenth or one
fourth of their possessions. Georgia can
not possibly be benefltted by the retrench
ments that have been proposed. She can
not fail to be benefltted by compelling
every citizen to make a fair return of his
taxable property. In this way the rate
can be materially lowered, th? present
rate of progress maintained and the total
revenue considerably increased. This, it
seems to us, is the only course that can
appeal to "the sound business judgment,
common sense and fair-mindedness of our
legislators. “Tax Reform” and not “Re
freuehmeni" is the proper plan for relief.
A Few Suggestions,
We fear that able body of financiers and
statesmen who have gone off to themselves
and evolved a plan for retrenchment in
the administration of state affairs, adopt
ed a pass word and a trade mark, etc.,
have overlooked a few things in their
eagerness to get a whack at the munifi
cent salaries of state bouse porters and
other public officials iwho are managing
to live within their incomes. *
So far as we know, they have not left
anyone off the list whose salary appears
to be in excess of what an economical tnan
can live on, provided his .wife takes In
sewing or his daughter works out, “but we
fear that in their haste they have failed
to discover where and how the state might
actually make a profit on these public ser
vants. That the plan proposed will reduce
them all to a basis of strict economy in
their private affairs we have no doubt.
The idea is that they can learn to live on
less, or else work the grocer for it, and the
state will be the saver by just that much.
So far so good;.but why not go further?
Why pot, for instance, farm them out
during the off seasons? From Governor
Candler down, .why not make them put in
their spare time at something else? At
torney General Terrell could do a staving
good law business in Atlanta, in. addition
to bis state house duties, and he ought to
be made to bring in four or five thousand
dollars extra every year; especially if he
should break into some receivership case,
in which event he might enable the state
to wipe out the entire deficit at once.
Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens has
not been commissioner Jong enough to have
forgotten, how to farm, so he would be a
handy man to run a big plantation for the
state. We are satisfied he could make the
state 110,000 the first year, on a fifty mule
farm. And why not put School Commis
sioner Glenn to teaching night schools or
something of that sort. He is an able edu
cator and could easily bring the state a
revenue in this way. Oh, there are lots
of ways to save the state from Actual
bankruptcy If we but go about it. But we
fear this thing of merely requiring public
officials to work for the honor there is in
it, and feed themselves, is not sufficient.
The thing is to make them profitable at
the same time. •
We have mentioned only a few of the
overpaid officials, because we do not know
the peculiar qualifications of the others,
but we suspect that State Librarian Brown
could easily add a few honest pennies to
the state’s coffers by running a news stand
in connection with the state library, while
Douglas Glessner could take in plain serv
ing or do other things not incompatible
with the dignity of a confirmed bachelor.
As for the purse-proud clerks in the vari
ous departments, they might find other
jobs and learn to do the state’s work at
night or on Sundays, while the portersand
other colored functionaries in the state’s
service might be required to mow lawns
on commission work as waiters for their
board, in order that the state may hire
them for the /price of their washing.
We merely suggest these things in the
hope of aiding and abetting in this effort
at reducing taxation. We would not be
willing to rent out the state house for a
tourist’s hotel, but we realize that taxes
must be reduced, and wherever we find a
(public official who is making a living /we
are willing to throw him down and take
it away from him—in the interests, of
course, of lower taxes and reform. We
don’t know how much the tax rate will be
lowered by this sort of thing, if at all, but
it is on the line of retrenchment and re
form—and we know our constituents. And
if this isn’t enough .we are willing to make
every man pay the state for the privilege
of holding office. Anything to stop the
expense and appease the dear people.
Preserve Order at the Outset.
If reports that have already been re
ceived by The News Are true —and we
have no reason to doubt them—it is in or
der to ma kb a suggestion that may pre
vent future trouble In this city. Grave
fears have already been expressed as to
the possible conduct of the negro soldiers
who are to be encamped here for a time,
but The /News, for one, has been inclined
to discourage these fears, because it felt
that the officers in. charge could be relied
on to maintain 'good order and discipline.
But it may be just as well that our own
citizens endeavor to co-operate to this
enr, especially at the outset, when, by re
porting cases of disorder on the part of
soldiers (white, as well ae black), ttie im
pression will be pointedly conveyed that
anything like misconduct or rowdyism
will not be tolerated in’ this community.
This suggestion is intended particularly
for street car conductors and motormen,
kvhO owe it to the public and to the com
panies employing them to preserve order
on their cars, a thing which, we regret to
say, has not been done In several in
stances. A few infractions of the kind we
have In mind will inevitably lead to worse
forms of disorder, and, sooner or later,
harsh measures will be necessary to en
force good behavior on the part of those
who have already been allowed too much
license. Better hold a firm rein at the out
set than to run the risk of more serious
trouble later on. And in this effort our
citizens, irrespective of color or calling,
should willingly co-operate.
Inconsistent.
/A majority of our free-trade, anti-ex
pansionist Democratic contemporaries are
woefully inconsistent,in their arguments
against the annexation of the Spanish is
lands, it being their contention that the
products of these Islands, being admitted
free of duty, as would be required under
our constitution, would cause the ruin of
our sugar and tobacco raisers. While the
point is undoubtedly well taken, is it not
nn-Democrstic to admit that free trade
will hurt anybody?
The question is do you want to see the
news of the day before night, or can you
wait until tomorrow? If you want it on
the day it happens you must subscribe to
The News.
The process by which Platt will trans
form Teddy Roosevelt from an ardent re
former into a machine politician is well
worth watching.
New York is to be congratulated. She
is soon to have telephone connection with
Atlanta.
And to think that Van Wyck gave up a
$14,000 job, too.
Macon's wholesale trade is not
should be. Why?

Absolutely Pure
OFFICERS ASSIGNED ;
Merritt to the East and Shafter to Command
Pacific.
By Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 15—>A special to the
Tribune from Washington says;
General Merritt will resume command
of the department of the East, with head
quarters at Governor's Island, when he
returns from Europe, and General Shafter
will go to San Francisco to command the
department of the Pacific, which he re
linquished when the war began and he was
ordered to New Orleans and eventually to
Tampa and Cuba.
These assignements are to be made
whether hostilities are resumed or not, as
both of the officers concerned are satisfied
to make way and give younger men an
opportunity for active service in the field
if occasion requires. General Shafter will
reach the retiring age of 64 years on Oc
tober 16. 1899, and it Is likely his wish to
end the military career in his adopted
home on the Pacific slope will be respect
ed. In fact, as much was promised to him
when he took command at Governor’s Is
land.
General Merritt can advance no further
in rank before his retirement, on June 16,
1900, as his immediate superior, General
• Miles, still has five years to serve.

There are thou
-•* sands of men who
are recklessly risking their lives while they
go about their common every-day avoca
tions. They over-work, they do not take
sufficient time from business or labor to eat
or or rest, or to care for their health.
Outraged nature throws ont danger signals,
to which they pay no heed. They suffer
from bilious or nervous disorders, from
sick headache, giddiness, drowsiness, cold
chills, flushings of heat, shortness of
breath, blotches on tfye skin, loss of ap
petite, uncomfortable sensations in the
stomach after meals, loss of sleep, lassi
tude and trembling sensations. These are
the advance symptoms of serious and fatal
maladies.
All disorders of this nature are cured by
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It
restores the lost appetite, gives sound and
refreshing sleep, makes the digestion per
fect, the liver active. It purifies the blood
and makes it rich with the life-giving ele
ments of the food. It is the great blood
maker and flesh-builder. It makes the body
active and the brain keen. It is the best
' of nerve tonics. Thousands have testified
•to its merits. No honest dealer will urge
upon you a substitute for the little extra
profit it may afford.
The man or woman who neglects consti
pation is gathering in the system a store
of disorders that will culminate in some
serious and possibly fatal malady. Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are a safe, sure,
i speedy and permanent cure for constipa
tion. One little “ Pellet” is a gentle laxa
tive, and two a mild cathartic.

SPRTNSFIKLD, Mo.
Gentlkmkn : I commenced taking P.
P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
plataly covered with the disease; I took
a short course of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
Improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
aares to try P. P. P. Will not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore*
cheerfully recommend it-

scrofulous sore which broke out on my
ankle. It grew rapidly, and soon ex
tended from my ankle to my knee. I
got one bottle of your P. P. P., Lipp

ably surprised at the result. The entire
sore healed at onoa. I think I have
taken almost every medicine recom
mended for scrofula and catarrh, and
{our P. P. P. i 8 the best 1 have ever
riwd. It cannot be recommended too
highly for blood poison, etc.
Yours very truly,
