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.
