OIT. CEXTES XUL VB.UI.
The first century of American
freedom ! What sacred memories of
human liberty linger upon the pages
of lhes° hundred years to remind
every American freeman of the de
votion of our fathers in the struggle
for independence! A noble heritage
we have enjoyed and abused—a
matchless system of government, un
known to the history of human law,
hat should have bound the people of
this country together as with hooks
of steel! But alas! when prosperity
smiled upon us the brightest, and the
sun of national happiness was made
resplendant by American progress,
the fiend of discord cast a gloom over
the land and bathed it in fratricidal
b ood ! War draped the homes of a
happy people with mourning and en-
g dfed all sections in ruin ! Could j
the founders of our great government
1 loked into futurity and saw the car
nage of an internecine war —brothers
imbuing their hands in the blood of
brothers, fathers against sons and
sons against fathers—what would
have been their emotions to see such
a panorama of destruction of the
fabric they had reared under the in
spirations of freedom ?
But war has ceased and the clangor
of arms is heard no more. Still the
harsh discord of bitterness has lin
gered between the sections for ten
years of a bitter peace that should
have been employed in the work of
conciliation and the restoration of
fraternal brotherhood. One section
chafing and restless, helplessly sub
mitting to the aspersions, the oppres
sions and the usurpations of the oth
er under the forms of law hut with
out the spirit of justice. These ten
years of suspense and uncertainty
have been sufficient to drive from
the bosom of the oppressed every
sentiment and respect fur Hie govern
ment of usurpation substituted
seen TTre-prHJ* a jtiudevolence for the
< and in the name of liberfy t TT rfhtUfiXfL
oppressive burden upon a free and
nobie people—subjecting intelligence
to the domination of ignorance,
and virtue to vice. Ail this for party
supremacy. V’. e have seen the prin
ciples of liberty trampled underfoot
the rights of States ignored—that
unscrupulous partisan ruie might
prevail and robbery be made trium
phant.
Amid all this gloom of a decade the
spirit of liberty has only slumbered,
to be re-awakened from year to year
as the people grew tired and restless
under the yoke of oppression, and
saw public liberty threatened upon
every hand by the centralizing ten*
dencies of the Federal government in
the hands of a vicious and unscrupu
lous Here and there the ban
ner of freedom has waved, here and
there a victory has been won, hereand
there the people have been aroused,
and from time to time, and often at
isolated points, the spirit of liberty
has asserted itself and proclaimed at
tlie ballot-box that constitutional lib
erty is not extinct as long as the
eouhtry is inhabited by a people born
in the cradle of freedom and taught
around the sacred altars reared by
patriotic sires. One by one States 1
have wheeled into line taking posi
tion against the rule of usurpers;
one by one States have proclaimed at
die ballot-box mat this is still
‘■The land of the iree and the home of the brave.”
One by one, and in rapid succession,
States have resumed (heir allegiance
to constitutional liberty and pro
el a Tiled eternal hostility to Central
ism. To-day we find in the halls of |
majority pledged by all
the sacred promises m f ;
store fraternal brotherhood between j
the sections and to unite the pc opl (1 j
in the bonds Tif good government—
to re-erect the altars of - our fathers—
to crush and drive out from the land
the fiendish spirit of sectionalism
and to obliterate as faras possible the
asperities engendered by the war of
bad men.
And are wo to vainly hope that
this, our centennial year of American
independence, shall pass without a
complete restoration of American
fraternity and the re-establishment
of “law and order,” and of Constitu
tional liberty, upon the continent?
Shall not the fires of 1776 be re-kin
dled in the hearts of the children and
descendants of Revolutionary sires in
1876? Shall not the people of this
whole country, around the altars of
liberty, swear anew their allegiance
to t lie government of our ancestry
and pledge their lives, if need be, to
the patriotic endeavor to maintain
inviolate the matchless system of
government established l>y the blood
of the boldest freemen that ever drew
sword or wielded musket?
Every true patriot should pray
that this may be a year of jubilee to
the people of this whole country—
that it may end with the obliteration
of every species of hatred or bitter
ness—-that a restored Union shall
mean a re-united people. We trust,
speaking for ourself, that the boom
of artillery shall be heard ail over
this land on the Fourth of July, pro
claiming the glad tidings of a real
centennial jubilee, anddhat there is
neither North nor South, East nor
West ia the throb of the American
heart fur “Liberty and Union, now
and forever, one and inseparable.”
This is what wo understand is to be
the great object of the great centen
nial exposition at Philadelphia. It
is our idea that all Americans are to
meet in the “city of brotherly love,”
and, under the shadow of “Inde
pendence Hall,” the Mecca of Amer
ican freemen, again consecrate the
national heart to the principles there
proclaimed one hundred years ago.
If that occasion means less it will be
but a solemn mockery and unworthy
of American manhood.
k It is to le hoped that the people
Everywhere in this country will be
klo t)pj duties of this centennial year
of Aiiiei ican freedom with higher
hopesof prosperity jwitli diviner feel
ings of peace and with renewed de
sire for the restoration of fraternal
brotherhood between the people of
all the States of the Federal Union.
Such a spirit, if it exists, as we hope
it does among a large majority of the
people of this country, we shall wit
ness once more a prosperous and hap
py people, devoted to the same flag,
the same history and the same tra
ditions.
THUS X VTi )V Vf, it VXK SY £TEM .
There is no institution more disas
trous to the general welfare of the j
country than the monopoly of the
national banking system. The de
pression in all branches of business
and the crippling of all industries
are attributable to a system of
finances that gives to something over
two thousand banking institutions
the privilege of furnishing the me
dium of exchange for the trade and
commerce of this country. And yet
there are comparatively few who un
derstand tiie present financial opera
tions of the government. Indeed, it
is a difficult problem to solve, even
by the most astute financiers, and
these widely differ in their theories
as to the effect it has upon the inter
ests of the country. There is not
one in ten that understands that
trade and commerce pay an interest
oi from twenty to twenty-five per
cent, for the medium of exchange dai
ly used in business transactions. In
plainer terms, the people pay direct
ly or indirectly this large interest up
on all the money used by them. No
people under the sun can prosper
that pay such enormous interests
from the productive labor of the
country. It is not strange, then,
that all industral e ergv is depressed,
and that there are thousands upon
thousands of men, skilled and.un
skilled, who are “tramps,” seeking
bread as they may—getting it by fair
means if possible, or by foul means
when it can be procured in no other
way. .
What effect does the national
linking system have upon the ener-
! ountry? ,h "
_ . . rvrooose to
of a proposition to organize a nat nr,.
al bank on a capital of one hundred
thousand dollars. As is generally
known, the hundred thousand dol
lars in United States bonds are first
secured as the capital upon which to
begin operations. These bonds are
deposited with the United States
treasurer, drawing semi-annual gold
interest at the rate of 7:30 per cent.,
payable to the bank depositing them.
Upon these bonds as collaterals, the
treasurer issues ninety thousand dol
lar's of currency certificates or nation
al bank notes, with the name of the
bank upon them, in denominations
of ones, twos, fives, etc. With these
certificates of deposit or national
bank notes, the hanking company
proceeds to business, loaning them
out to the trade and commerce of the
community at rates of interest rang
ing from fifteen to eighteen percent,
on the best collaterals. But the bor
rower must not think that is all the
interest paid for the use of the money
he thus borrows from the bank, as
high as it is. There is being indi
rectly paid to the banker the 7:30 in
terest on his collaterals or security
for the privilege he enjoys of furnish
ing t*e currency. In other words, I
j the government furnishes the nation
jal bank with its currency and pays
| the bank interest for the security the
j bank gives for this inestimable priv
ilege—the labor ami industry of the
: country bearing tiio whole burden of
j taxation and interest. The people
| pay the interest upon the bonds de
posited and then pay triple interest
to the national banks for the use of
*iw.:r nU p money. A tabular state
ment will show tne resuus *n ~r
oration. A national bank is to be
organized on a basis of hundred
thousand dollars of bonds. The
figures are given thus, the bank re
ceiving—
For interest paid on bonds by taxation..? 7,300
For interest received for currency notes
loaned at 18 per cent 16,200
For interest received on liist semi-an
nual interest p.ti<l on the bonds 6.57
Total interest paid l>v the people on
the 1100,000 capital *24 157
For the use of only ninety thous
and dollars of currency, or more than
twenty-five per cent, for the use of
a medium of exchange furnished by
tiiis huge monopoly of the national
banking system, enjoyed by some
thing over two thousand favored
banking institutions of the country.
Is it strange that the people should
stagger under such a load of tribute
to tlie money lords of the land? Is
it strange that our farmers fail to re
alize profit from their labor and cap
ital when they are thus taxed twen
ty-five per cent for the money they
use? And yet this is what the na
tional banking system means ff we
are not in great error. It means to
make the poor poorer and the rich
richer.
Oh! how long shall the people
groan under this load of oppression?
Every effort made to abolish the na
tional banking system is thwarted by
■ millions of money paid to lobbyist?
! in Washington to buy off Congres
| sional action in behalf of reform.
Never can we prosper until this incu
bus upon the industry of the country
is removed by the abolishment of the
odious national banking monopoly;
and it will not be removed until a
majority in Congress is incorruptible.
As long as Congressmen are to be
bought with a price, so long will
there be millions of money to defeat
all legislation intended to repeal
the odious system through bribery
and corruption. It is not strange
that bondholders who pay no tax
upon their bonds,and national banks
that enjoy such a monopoly, have
been so strong at Washington to de- !
feat all attempts at financial reform, i

THE SUFFERING OF PBISTEIW.
A few years ago it was worth
something to a man to be a good
practical printer, whether he was a
proprietor or an employee. It was
worth something to a young man to
spend four years of his early life to
acquire a good knowledge of ‘‘the art
preservative.” It insured him a de
cent living if he was true to himself.
In some sections it is still a a good
tiling to be a good printer. But how
is it now in many places? The skill
ful printer is now reduced to the
lowest wages or he is supplanted by
illiterate and unexperienced boys at
! the trade who can he employed at
nominal wages—enough to prevent
them from starving.
This is all wrong and disastrous to
the printing business generally—
turning out upon the world the most
skilled labor to starve or seek other
employment with which printers are ‘
not familiar, and from which they !
cannot earn a living. These are:
supplanted, even in some of thecify
papers metropolitan journals.hy j
“boys” who have worked a year or j
so at the business, or “green hands.” j
And even a hoy faithfully learns his j
trade he does so now with the ex
pectation that he cannot get employ
ment from his master after he has
learned the trade. He is turned out
to graze, as it were, to be succeeded
by another hoy. Tlie result is that
practical printers without means
manage to get hold of a press,
and with a few type, are flooding
the country with small and insiguifi
ciant papers, many ofcthein using the
“patent outsides” ’Securing much
of the patronage that might go to
better papers.
Proprietors of newspapers have to
learn the impolicy of discarding
skilled labor for inferior labor. While
it may save them a few dollars in j
composition in a week, they have
a half dozen printers to start other
papers that will decrease their own
patronage. The true policy of pro
prietors is to make as few printers as
-=oiiJo and thereby -increase their
own patronage in the win.
The Printers’ Union is a good in
stitution when not abused, Its ex
stenee is as much a protection to
when legitimately con
downfall of a Uniorfmojoyees. The
resu't of unfair demands made'u&W.
proprietors orignating in the minds
of a few hot headed members of the
body. And they keep up fair wages
for themselvesandforce proprietors to
take in work at renumerative prices ;
and it is therefore no loss to the lat
ter while it is fair to the former, giv
ing them fair wages for labor. When
proprietors get labor cheap they
take in work cheaper,and while they
really lose nothing the poor printer
is the sufferer.
Arneteur journalist have done much
to degrade the printers trade to the
level of menial labor, and to make
the printing .business hut
little above that of common la
bor. Having no sympathy for print
ers, they do not hesitate to become
the most exacting task masters at
poor pay.
A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEX!! X.
We have been heretofore hut little
nclined, so far as personally concern
ed to the holding of a constifutiona
! convention in Georgia ; but we have
1 ever been willing that such a eonven
, tion should be held if it were the
1 wish and desire of the people to do
so. This feeling we have entertained
upon the broad principle that the
will of the people should rule espe
cially in a free republic like ours.
After n flection, we are of the opin
ion that there ought to be a conven
tion in order to relieve the State of
many annoyances growing out of
our organized laws none of them
„ _ ’’•“"s to private credit and
general prosperity tnnn wnm n.v
now’ as relief and homestead laws.
While the tax digests of the State
show grow th of general wealth, w r e
see but little prosperity in our in
dustrial and commercial interests
under the operations of the consti
tution of 1868, which was framed and
forced to ratification at the point of
the bayonet and at the dictation of
Federal authority.
The constitution under which our
law's are now made have entailed up
on our people many entanglements
involving the loss of private credit
and general prosperity. The laws
have become so complicated and liti
gation has become so intricate and
uncertain that justice is slowly meted
out. The homestead law, exempting
more property from the payment of
debts than seven-tenths of the people
own has weakened private credit to
such an extent that men of enterprise
and thrift cannot use their property
to advantage in business transactions
that would add to their prosperity.
A friend of ours, a few days ago,
said to us that a constitutional con
vention would reduce the Code of th<
State at least one-third and litigation
as much, and the expenses incurred
by holding it would not amount to
that of the burdens imposed by the
present constitution upon the people
for one year.
No! don’t do it! “No! I won’t
do it!”
That is right, my worthy friend .
God bless you, because you “won’t do
it.” No, don’t take the homestead ;
take the amount in your hand, w hich
it costs to avail yourself of the law,
and puyjt to some man who respect-
ed you enough to sell you his goods
on your credit. Having so decided,
make one more step. Stop buying
on credit, work and pay ali you owe,
a little at a time, and you will be
pleased to see how soon you will pav
out. Instead of stopping at a $3,000
homestead. Resolve to pay off all
demands against you and make
SIOO,OOO furtune for your children and
county.
Two good load* of oak (not post
oak) and hickory wood will pay for
thin p&pfer one year.

JUDGE R. A. CRAKK.
The appointments to judicial posi
tions hitherto made by Gov. Smith
have fully met public expectations
in the persons who now occupy the
bench of this State. Whatever may
be said by the disappointed in their
defeated aspirations for office, the ap
pointees not only do credit to their
official positions hut strongly testify
to the sagacity of the Executive in
placing such a oorps of able men in
these important trusts. A not unim
portant post is now to be supplied,
to-wit: The City Court of Atlanta.
Of course all men have their tavor
ites, and doubtless among the names
suggested ns worthy of this imjor
tant office, his Excellency could not
go much amiss if he should select ei
ther one as the occupant ot that
court. A citizen of another county,
it is readily granted, has no particu
lar interest in any selection which
may he made by his Excellency in
this case, and any declaration of even
a wish, by such a one, in favor of
this or that man, it is also admitted,
may he considered hy some as not a
little officious and intrusive. W esee,
however, that the Augusta Comtitu
tionalist warmly recomend* the Hon.
Richard A. Clark, and presses with
great force the claims of that gentle
men upon the favorable notice of the
Governor. The views entertained hy
that journal are not confined to itself.
Among all tlie members of the bar
in this state, there is not one perhaps
who for soundness of legal learning
and capacity for judicial administra
tion surpasses this distinquished law
yer. The character which he made
for himself while Judge of the Supe
rior Court places him in the front
rank of hislegal brethren, and we hes
itate not to say that if a verdict could
he rendered by all the mean hers of the
bar it would he seen that in their
opinion he is fully equal to any ju
dicial statesman in the State —what-
ever legal ability may now grace the
Supreme Bends and that ability is
fully acknowledged. Gov. Smith
would not at all have impaired its
- >
ters had Judge dark been his choice
for one of the seats. The writer of
this article has no prejudices or pre
possessions, parsialities or particular
personal preferences as to who shall
be appointed in this case, hut from a
"j'f , ••'H'ciation of the truly admir
able legal acqu.._ ntsaml men(a ;
endowments of Judge Clark, he
hopes and hereby gives expression to
that hope, that Gov. Smith may p n( j
it his pleasure to select this gentle
man f.r that important position. I{ e
will honor himself by so doing asd
confer a real benefit upon theeitvof
Atlanta.
CANTON, GEORGII,
The editor of The Express, ac
cepting the kind courtesy of Mr. G.
H. Tomlin to ride behind his fine
span of horses, left for Canton on
Monday evening to attend the river
improvement mass meeting on Tues
day. In company with Gen. Young
and Capt. Lyon, of Cartersville, Gen.
Tilton, Capt. Lindsey Johnson, Dr.
T. A. West and Rome.
\\ e had a most pleasant journey to
Canton. The day was beautiful and
bright, as it was on Tuesday, the day
of the meeting.
We found Canton a most agreeable
little town, and her people fully alive
to the importance of the improve*
j me, R of the Etowah, and early in
the forenoon of Tuesday the people
came pouring in from every direction.
; Fhe meeting was called to order
about noon, and the c mrt room was
well filled. [ Fhe proceedings will
be found in another column.]
Canton has an elegant new court
house (list would do credit-in any
State, built in modern style of archi
tecture. The Cuntau hotel is another
mummer of fine appearance, and like
tliecourt house; wouni oe tiru,mw,
to any community. It is well kept
by Mr. J. M. Me A flee, who supplies
his tables with the best the country;
produces.
The town has two churches, Meth
odist and Baptist; two excellent
schools, five stores, six lawyers, two
doctors, and a livery stable. Canton
is about twenty-four miles from C’ar
tersville and about the same distance
from Marietta, located in a rich sec
tion, populated by a thrifty people.
One of the attractions of the town
is the Canton brass band, nine mem
bers, with Mr. H. J. O’Shields, of
our town, as leader. The band dis
coursed splendid music for the mass
meeting.
We have not time to say more,
but w r e hope to become better ac
quainted with the people of Cherokee
county. Prof. J. U. Vincent has
kindly consented to give the news of
the county to The Express and to
act as agent, for thb paper.
We shall have much to say of the I
county from time to time.
THE MISSION OF THE PRESS.
Tne New York Sun w ishing every
body “a happy New Year,” did not
forget its “brethren of the newspa
per press.” It said:
We wish all our brethren of the
newspaper press a happy New Year.
They are engaged in a high, respon
sible, and honorable calling,' and if
they perform their work faithfully,
conscientiously, according to their
best lights and in the fear of God
but of no man, they will give to the
year 1876 more glory than even the
Centennial celebration can add. May
prosperity attend them, and in their
homestead at their publishing houses
may peace and happiness reign.
There is truth in every word the
Sun says of the calling of the press.
There is none more responsible in the
heart and mind of the true journal
ist. As “sentinels npon the watch
tower” of liberty the press should be
true to the right, the cause of justice
and the rights of the people. The
press should fear nothing but to do
wrong.
We most heartily reciprocate the
greeting of the Sun and endorse.ev
try word it says in regard to the true
ami noble mission of the piess.
