The New York Sun ia defending Mr.
Blaine from the mugwumps. Poor
Blaine!
It most not be forgotten, that under
the Mills bill, the average dntiea on im
ports will be about four times as high as
under that tariff which those eminent
protectionists, G. Washington and T.
Jefferson supported.
The removal of the restrictions on the
right of suffrage in Rhode Island will add
25,000 citizens to the voting popula
tion of that statf. This may wipe out
the republican majority, which is already
reduced to 1500.
Many of our weekly exchanges are
printing and circulating as a supplement,
Senator Colquitt’s tariff reform speech,
recently delivered in the senate. It was
a splendid speech, and is well worthy of
the ciculation the press is giving it.
Boulanger is now on top, and, when
eecure in office, will doubtless decide
that his enemies are the enemies of
France. They should not make wry
faces if he feeds them with the same
epoon with which they have been feed
ing him.
The prospect of the passage of the
Mills bill is growing brighter every day.
The New York Tribune has already ex
pressed its fear that the hill will pass the
house, and now its Washington corres
pondent says, that the senate cannot be
relied on to defeat it.
Edward Atkinson shows that the Bouth
is the beet stock-raising section of the
country. The truth is, the south can
beat the north on every crop except ice,
and we can manufacture that at a cost
of little more than the wear and tear of
thermometers at the north.
Mr. Oates gi ves good reasons for his
opposition to the bill to refund the direct
tax. This tax was legally imposed, and
should not be refunded. This is especial
ly true, since another tax was illegally
imposed, and the money taken by it
from the people, in defiance of the laws,
is still in the vaults of the treasury.
Our exchanges have commenced nomi
nating candidates for the presidency of
Emory college. We know of no better
man than Prof. Dowman, who is now a
member of the faculty of that institution.
He has splendid natural endowments,
and is a ripe scholar. He would sustain
himself in the position, and would fill it
well.
During the third of a century of his po
litical life he has always been a demo
crat, and one that could be counted on—
not in accord with his party in some
things, but in all things. Daring his
whole career he has been a friend to the
south, though loyal to his own section
during the straggle between the states.
The people of Georgia will give this
grand old democrat a reception worthy
of his merits and worthy of the empire
state of the south and the banner state
of the democracy. We would like to
show him the hospitality of our own
city. We could not entertain a man
more worthy of our respect and admira
tion. _
Make a Good Shewing.
No business man in Columbus, who
wishes to advance the interests of the
city as well as his own, should fail to
ineert an advertisement in the special
edition of the Enquirer-Sun, which will
be issued next Sunday morning. The
showing made in that issne of the paper
will fix the opinions of thousands in
reference to Columbus. By all means
let that showing be a creditable one.
The money spent on it will bring abun
dant returns, both to the city and the
individual advertisers.
Bismarck has been in the habit of
managing men, even though they wore
imperial crowns, pretty much as he
pleased, but when he tried his strength
with a woman, he was knocked out in
the first round. It is said that he has
consented to submit to the marriage of
Prince Alexander to Princess Victoria.
It looks very much as if Germany has
not only got an emperor, but an empress,
also.
The usual charges of bribery and cor
ruption in the Rhode Island election are
now forthcoming. It was to be expected
that the defeated democrats would try to
explain their beating in this way.—New
York Mail and Express.
The Mail and Express failed to men
tion the fact that the Providence Journal,
the leading republican paper of the state,
was one of the foremost of those claiming
that the republicans had been guilty of
fraud in thi9 election. This was doubt
less merely an oversight.
Why Wages Are High in Birmingham.
The Birmingham Age boasts that la
borers are paid more there than any
where else in the country. Admitting
this to be true, the cause is not hard to
find. The cost of living is greater there
than in almost any other town.
Rents are so high in Birmingham that
laborers cannot live there unless they
get good wages. Bat these high wages
do not give them an advantage over la
borers of other towns. The difference in
wages is no greater than the difference in
the cost of living there and elsewhere in
the south.
The great boom of our Alabama neigh
bor attracted people more rapidly than
they could be accommodated with
houses, and the excess of the demand
over the supply raised prices. We doubt
very inuen whether a laboring man will
have more in Birmingham after his nec
essary expenses are paid than he would
have in Columbus.
Hon. $. S. Cox Coming to Goorgla.
Hon. S. S. Cox will visit Georgia this
month. He should be invited to come
to Columbus. There is no town in
Georgia where he would meet with a
heartier welcome.
Mr. Cox is one of the greatest of liv
ing Americans. As a statesman he has
few equals, and he has made a reputa
tion as a man of letters. Unfortunately
for himself he has made a reputation as
a humorist. It is a common error to
associate seriousness with depth, and
many men who will not compare with
Mr. Cox in solid attainments are classed
among his equals, because the latter has
given rein to bis spirit of fan.
Mr. Cox is one of the oldest members
of the boose, though he has not been in
continuous service in that body. He
filled his first term thirty-two years ago,
and a quarter of a century ago was
among leaders of the democratic party.
The Negro at the North.
We dip the following paragraph from
the Richmond, Indiana, Item, a strong
republican paper:
"James Edwards and wife, former noto
rious residents of the North End, have
left for some point in Ohio. Edwards was
sent to the penitentiary a few years ago
for marrying a white woman.”
So it appears that away np in Indiana,
where the republicans are so abusive of
the southern people for maintaining the
“color line,” they put negroes in the peni
tentiary for marrying white women. We
think they ought to put their white
women in the penitentiary tor marrying
negroes Atlanta Journal.
One of the Tricks.
The tricks resorted to by the anti-Cleve
land papers are not very creditable to the
originators. One of the latest is the state
ment that the president, from some trivial
cause, harbors a feeling of resentment
against the citizens of Buffalo, his old
home, and would veto the bill recently
passed appropriating money for a new
public building site there. The fact is that
the president ia on the beat of terms with
hia former fdlow-townsmen, he never had
any intention of vetoing the bill, and
while the silly twaddle of the anti-admin
istration papers was being indulged in,
the bill had actually been signed.—Savan
nah Morning News.
What Workingmen Should Awaken To
In regard to the oft-refuted protectionist
cry, that high wagea depend upon the
tariff, Mr. Knute Nelson, the distinguished
republican representative in congress
from Minnesota, remarks, that if the
United States did not exist, “you would
have the strongest kind of argument in
favor of free trade England, as against
the high-protective countries of the con
tinent on the question of wages.” The
two facta that nowhere else in Europe are
wages nearly so high as in free trade
England, and that the rates of wages
are lowest in the countries of
the continent in which there ia the
most protection, present perplexing prob
lems which the tariff advocates in the
United States are unable to solve to their
own satisfaction. Nor can they explain,
in accordance with their theories, the
phenomenon of wages in the flourishing
colonies of Australia, where the earnings
of labor are much higher than in most
portions of this country, and where the
protective duties are extremely low.
Nevertheless, our tariff mongers insist that
by some occult process this indirect meth
od of taxation keeps up the wagea oi labor
in the United States, though the theory
utterly fails to work anywhere else on the
face of the globe.
So far from maintaining the wages of
labor, there is no lack of proof that the
tariff has just the opposite effect—of de
pressing wages and lessening the means of
employment. The outer wall which the
tariff has drawn around the country by
taxing crude materials, has shut the prod
ucts of its manufacturing industry and
skill out of the markets of the world.
Within the inner tariff wall which the
“trusts” have reared, American working
men are put at the mercy of monopoly for
their supplies of the necessaries of living.
By the former process of taxing
raw materials of labor, the cost of
production is enhanced to such a degree
that the foreign market for the surplus
is cut off, while the home consumption ia
discouraged. Production soon outstrips
demand, and aa inevitable results, the
wages of labor are depressed and the op
portunities of employment diminished.
Manufacturers may form “trusts” to check
supply, or may close their mills and
factories for awhile, but the discharged
workingmen, whose capital is their daily
labor, must sdfler the loss of their earn
ings, 11 not, indeed, starve.
Under the other process of operation,
behind the double wall of tariff and
“trust,” the purchasing power of wages is
diminished by the artificially enhanced
coat of the necessaries and comforts
of every American household. When
supplies are limited by “trusts” and mo
nopolies derating under shelter of the
tariff,workingmen must pay more for their
clothing, blankets, glass, earthenware,
salt, and other necessaries of living, or
consume less of these commodities. They
must pay higher rents for houses in which
the cost of nearly all the materials ia en
hanced by at least 20 per cent, or content
themselves with leas comfortable homes.
At the same time the “trusts” and monop
olies organized under the tariff to limit
production, and thus increase the cost of
commodities to workingmen, diminish the
means and opportunities of labor.
These truths concerning the practical
operation of the tariff would be disputed
as little as are the axioms of geometry, but
for the fact that there ia a tremendous inter
est in falsifying them. Upon the pretense
that protection gives high wages and em
ployment to the labor which it plunders
rests the whole fraudulent fabric of the
tariff. When American workmen shall
have become convinced that the tariff, so
far from protecting them, is their oppres
sor, the system will fall to the ground
without a blow.—Philadelphia Record.

Simmona, J.—1. The evidence author

(a) The case made by the evidence is
substantially different from that made
when this case was here before, (76 Ga.

court as to a verdict for a larger sum than
was found for the plaintiff below on the
last trial, being “so excessive as to disclose
either biasinjhia favor, or prejudice against
the defendant,” ia not now applicable.
2. While remarks by the oourt to the
jury upon the rules governing common
carriers in regard to passenger trains, and
the duties they owe to passengers in tak
ing them on their trains and transporting
them, and in letting them off the trains,
did not throw light upon the case on trial,

thi
defendant was negligent in stopping the
cab of its freight train near to a dangerous

who had been allowed to take passage on
the train, without a light and without no
tice of the dangerous character of the

“that when the defendant brought the

Hatcher Iron Wagon Company, RoUin Jefferson,
Agent:
Dear Sirs : I bought your first “ IRON
WAGON,” and it gives me pleasure to give
S ou a certificate of its merit. I find that
; runs much lighter, and less draft or
strain on mules, and surpasses my expecta
tions in every respect. I have hauled
heavy loads of green lumber, and cheer
fully say that the wagon is all you claim for
it. It will save more wear od the mules
than any wagon I ever used. I am sixty
years old and have tested all wagons, and
consider your “ Iron Wagons ” worth fif
teen dollars more than the wooden wagons.
I recommend it to any man wanting a
wagon. We have tested it satisfactorily.
