THE GEORGIA ENTERPRISE, COVINGTON’, GA., FRIDAY MORNING.
The Busy World.
\ fierce battle is rn^itic: he
twee-i the Russians and Japs at
Mukden w hich it is thought will
settle the fate of the winter cam
paign. Kuropatkir., forced bj
orders fr-.ni 8 t. Petersburg and
taking advantage c*f the apparent
«■. r .«
JUI|ied battle with them 1 uesday.
Undoubtedly, the Japanese were
takeued somewhat bv surprise and
for a time the Russians made con
sid^rable headway, It is said
tint in many instances, the Japa¬
nese retired so precipitately as to
abandon their field telephone and
telegraph li nes.
Apparently some of the heav¬
iest fighting has occured on the
heights north of Yeutai, which
have been occupied alternately by
the two armies. The Russian
turning movement directed to¬
ward the south of the Taitse river
it is believed lias been cheeked !*v
the Japanese. Both armies nr*,
being rapidly re-in forced, while
the brunt of the coullict is being
borne by the artillery. A galling
fire lias been directed against th“
Japanese guns, but the gunners
have not given ground and it is
practically certain that the Rus¬
sian onslaught cannot force them
to do so. The authorities in St.
Petersburg do not hesitate to ad¬
mit that the .Japanese have prac¬
tically r-gaiue 1 the ground lost
on the first surprise, and that they
have even made further advances
under the most terrific opposition.
Many experts believe that Ivu
ropatkin’s putpo.se is to crumple
up the Japanese left, push them
off eastward from the railroad and
then if he can carry the Japanese
triangle, compel them to retire in
the direction of the Yalu river,
thus clearing the way to Liao
Yang for possession of the railroad
southward and possible enabling
Kuropatkin to relieve Port Arthur
which, it is announced in the
Russian general’s order ol the day
is his main objective.
Or whether or nol he can suc¬
ceed in this undertaking will de¬
pend the winter campaign. The
Japanese seem to realize that they
are facing their first real crisis.
They are on their mettle and light
ing accordingly.

WE ARE A WORLD POWER. 1

Before the Birth of Roosevelt.

^ ^ whlch yoll , Mr .
president, born in 1S5S, assume to
have discovered the United astounding States and j
It* policies is even more
“rs^rsr.S““
object of derlaion unlc6S we have a
mig hty navy. The Monroe doctrine
«as thirty-five years old when you were
born, and doing remarkably well, as
It hasten ever since. You tell us that
without a still newer, still bigger first
class navy we must definitely make up
our minds to accept a secondary posi- 1
tion, not only in political but in com
mercial matters. When you cut your
first tooth we had the greatest mer¬
chant marine in the world—greater
even than England’s — and our navy
was insignificant. Our mercantile ship- !
ping on blue water has steadily de¬
policies ■ • • 1
dined under the restrictive
you favor, and it is smaller now than j
it was when the first keel of the new
navy was laid.
You tell us that under your leader
ship we have just become a “world
power.” What were we-pardon the
personal illustration—more than a ren
eration before you were born, when.
with only ten million people and in
significant armaments, A wa flung the
,, Monroe doctrine , . into . t the t teeth . 01 . „ the
Holy Alliance?
Considering your intelligence and
your knowledge of American history,
your attitude seems a mystery. What
can be its explanation?
Vl,at can be the purpose oi all these
shrieks for a mighty army and navy,
these frenzied denunciations of “cow
ards.” “weaklings” and “cravens,” who
sordidly mind their own business in- !
:Sbi°: sssm?
wavings of the mailed fist in the faces j
of the nations? The spectacle is er- |
traordinary and bewildering. The
country is in no danger from any
power of Europe. All the nations of
the Old World are watching each other,
afraid of each other, and infinitely
more in dread of us, the terrfying
“American Peril,” than we could pos¬
sibly be of them. Not one of them
would dream of adding a war with us
to its other dangers, if we gave it a
chance to escape. If we could stand
against England without great arma¬
ments ninety years ago, when we had
only eight million people, what have
we to fear now with eighty millions and
eight hundrea times the resources and
power for war? [From the New York
World.]
TRUSTS AND PRICES.
Thecampaigu bookmakers labored leng
and hard and demonstrated to a finish
—if yon accept their figures as gospel
truth—that there are no real trusts,
that trusts have not put prices up, and
that, in fact, prices have not gone up.
They show, for example, what a weak,
punny, little harmless afair our billion
dollar steel trust is—producing but
little more than one-half of our steel
output. They say that “it is obvious
that a company producing only one
half of any given article entering a
given markets could not maintain ex¬
cessively high prices.” The misrepre¬
sentation in these statements lies in
the fact that as to many of the finished
products of steel the trust has an al¬
most absolute monopoly and can and
does charge exorbitant prices, as is
demonstrated by its export prices of
these same goods. In tin plates, barbea
wire, wire nails, and many other
articles, the trust has a virtual monop¬
oly of our markets and charges us
from 30 to TOO per cent, more than it
charges foreigners for these goods.
In nearly all other of its products,
such as steel rails, billet plates, struct¬
ural work, etc., in which it produces
only half of the country’s output, it
has “gentlemen’s agreements” with
other manufacturers which enable it,
as well as other manufacturers, to get
the full benefit of the high tariff du¬
ties on these goods. In this way It
gets $2S a ton for steel rails sold In
this country, while selling them abroad
for $18 and $20. It gets $32 for plates
here which it sells in England at $18.
It is a pity that these little correc¬
tions could not have been obtained in
time for insertion in their campaign
book; for, surely, the Republicans
would not knowingly and wilfully mis¬
lead the dear people.
: West Virginia “Is all right for Roose¬
velt.” says State Senator Robinson, one
of the minor leaders of the G. O. P. In
that State. "Only a few counties re¬
main to h<» whipped into line.” The
whipping into line of counties, and
factions, and individuals is keeping
the Republican bosses very busy these
days. This Is the case in New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, Delaware,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Colorado and
several other States. Despite tbeir
l,ra SK ad<w 'io, the Republican bosses in
th " S l f es above named are
"orrled over , the outlook and would !
give a good deal to be assured of '

THE SOUTHERN FARMERS.
The farmers of the South seem
tQ ^ doing considerable of
their own thinking these days, .
notwithstanding the fact that there
.-ever was a time when they could
so niuch free advice,
gome of the speculators in the
so worrieJ about the
a ud lack of judgement that they
are actually telegraphing their ad
vice and paying for its publication
m the papers in the cotton sections
of the South.
The day is past when you can
t }j e co ttou producers with a
5tatiug lhrtt the price of I
the staple would go up or down at
■
a certain time. j
The cotton farmer has greatly
improved . his methods of planting
ai.d marketing in the last few
years, and it lie continues to use |
his own head instead oi the other
fellow’s he will be able to make
his ovvll price on what he produces
and just ... the as the .. pro
owns same ,
ducers of anything else, .
There is no reason why the man

not make money o:i their produc

ten cents if there is a market lor
