TUBS DAY, NOV. 21st 1893
A Necessity.
We seeit stated in The Macon
Telegraph that there are.moro than
a. hundred applicants for admission
into the Lunatic Aeylam of this
state who cannot be received for
'want of room. This matter should
he looked after and looked after
at once. The legislature is now in
session and the matter should be
. attended to before it adjourns.
A great State like ours—the
Empire State cf the Sonth—can
not, without reproach, refuse to
•enlarge the present establishment
sufficiently .to accommodate not
only all the unfortunate creatures
of this class for whom application
has been made, but also for
many mare as the Superintendent
may think there is a reasonable
probability for whom application
will be made. Not only is this
truejbut/wstzce to the people of all
•sections of the state demands that
the asylnm shall be sufficiently
enlarged to admit all for whom
application may be made.
We say justice demands what
we have just stated;- and we think
all reasonable people will, upon
reflection, if not upon the mere
statement of the question, agree
that we are right on our proposi
tion. A, for instance has a son
In the asylum; B, makes applica
tion for his insane daughter, but is
informed that the asylum is full
and that his daughter must await
a vacancy! Now B pays as much
perhaps more tax than A pays
and yet his daughter must wait
until some inmate dies or fc is dis
charged! This is unjust to B who
is entitled to have his insane
daughter provided for as well as A
has his son taken care of.
The way, and the only way to
remedy this evil is to enlarge the
asalum sufficiently to admit all of
the unfortunates for whom appli
cation may be made and who may
he entitled thereto. This and
nothing less than this will give
justice to all the poople of the
State. We presume the cost of
an enlargement sufficient for the
purpose named can be made for a
few thousand dollars at most—say
thflll flZ* cent on the hundred
dollars. That ^oddi be a tax of
five cents on w ho possese-
ed taxable property of the value
of 0500.00, Who-would grudge
this 3mall amonnt for so humane
noble a purpose,
^^"We repeat, we trust the legisla
ture will before it adjourns make
an appropriation sufficient to en
large the asylum so that it will ac
commodate all who knuck at its
doors.
A Million Friends.
A friend in need is a friend indeo
and not less than one million peop.
Lave found just such a friend in Dr
Kings New Discovery for Consump
tion, coughs and colds. If you have
never used this great cough medicine,
one trial will convince you that it has
wonderful curative powers in all dis

oua friends the succe.-s of the re
publicans; but .we. confess ’that we
were riot prepared for the; great
landslide which .occurred.
The causes which lead to demo
cratic defeat are several and obvious,
but if properly heeded may result
in good to-oui party. We propose
to mention a few of the most obvi
ous reasons to show that defeat
was not.-attribu table to dissatisfac
tion with democratic principles.
On the contrary it was in some
measure attributable to a failure
to carry out what the people! gen
erally understood to be democratic,
promises.
But one question was freely act
ed upon in the late session’of Con
gress. Our platform demanded the
repeat of the Sherman law, and a
democratic Congress repealed onlj’
one section of it. Onr platform
declared that*ihe party held to the
use of both, gold and silver. A
democratic Congress established the
single gold standard. This action
did not perhaps weaken the party
in New York and New Jersey, but
undoubtedly cost it thoneands of
votes in the great West. As to
New York tho State was no doubt
lost by imprudent nominations,and
perhaps uncertainty as to what ac
tion would be taken on the tariff.
The last named cause was probably
largely the cause of ■ the loss of
New Jersey. We entirely agree
with our contemporary—the At
lanta Constitution—that Congress
should have jbei-n convened last
March, so that the changes propos
ed to be made in the tariff could
have been outlined before the late
election?. The country should not
have been left in ignorance on this
question.
Then the late administration left
a legacy of trouble to the present
administration for which the latter
was naturally but unjustly held
responsible. The republican policy
on the currency question naturally
caused a depression in business,
the full hardship of which was not
felt by the country until the past
summer. A. democratic Congress
met and adjourned, but no steps
were taken, no measufS adopted,
which, by l the admission of Sena
tor Shermanwho dictaledthe action
of a democratic, Congress promised
any relief to the country.
These,/and other minor causes
not necesfsary to mention, no doubt
will be Sufficient to account for our
late defftat. This defeat Bhould
serve as! a lesson to our party. It
should /be regarded as a command
to our / leaders to carry out the
pledge/s of the party. If when Con-
gr«ssjtneet8 next month, a demo
cratic Congress, and a democratic
administration, will carry out the
pledges contained in our platform,
all, in our humble opinion .will be
well by the time the next Congres
sional election occurs. O flier wise,
we may look for heavy losses not
only in the West but in the “Solid
South” as well.

| under the circumstance
now exciting, or which are likely,
to exist at - at any" time soon.
While we do not'-bslieve in' laying
duties-nhiefly for protection with
revenue for and incident, we- do
beHevo that in laying such’ duties
as shall be required to produce
such a revenue as an honest and
economical administration of our
government will demand, we be
lieve that such duties should be'so
levied as will give sufficient protec
tion , to American industries ...to
plaee them on an equality with
foreign protection. And, <ve have
no doubt whatever that the
amount of revenue which one gov
ernment naw requires and will con
tinueTo require, will, if the duties
are judiciously laid, give our home
industries all the protection which
they can justly ask.
As a general rule we believe if
we can buy a home product at the
sa«ae,or even a little larger price
that it will be best for us. If for
iDSlance, we had a home demand
for cotton goods, large enough to
consume all our cotton it would be
better for the country. We are
virtually independent of the world.
Our country produces more than
its pro rata share of the world’s
gold and silver; bnt the trouble is
we do not keep it at home. If we
could consume all our own cotton
England would no longer fix its
price; and so of onr wheat.
In other words, it is our interest
to produce all we want at home, if
we can produce it asf cheaply as
0 ther countries; and in doing this
it would help us to consume all we
raise or make. A country, like a
farmer, to be prosperous should
live at home;—and especially is
this true of our own. country, pro.
dueing as already stated more than
its proportionate share of the
world’s supply of the precious met
als.
Such in brief is what we under
stand to be democratic faith on
this question. At all events it
our own faith, and we believe do
party can, or at least would uhder-
-take to administer this government
upon a basis of absolute free trade.
That would bring the Federal tax

pay our State and county tax col

bear such a system beyond one

would be paid by those best able to
pay them. The democratic party

Since the action of Congress
the silver qaestion, the necessity
for the repeal of the tax on the
issue of State banks is of far more
importance than ever to the South.
There can be no doubt of this. Now
in this connection we are sorry to
see it stated upon the authority of
Congressman Oats that Secretary
Carlisle says that the President is
non-committal on this question.
We fail to see why such should be
the position of.the President. There
can be. no two constructions of the
plank of our platform on this
question; nor so far as we remem-
hes, has the President before his
nomination taken a stand in oppo
sition' to a measure of this charac
ter. We trust therefore there will
be no unnecessary delay on the
part of Congress or the president
in carrying out this pledge of the
party.
* Per contra, Congressman Oates
states that Secretary Carlisle is in
clined to coin the silver bullion in
the treasury at the rate of 04,000,-
000 per month. This will of Course
give some relief *o the country, as
a large part of the silver coined
will bn apt to remain is circulation
as it is not apt to be hoarded. We
trust therefore, the secretary will
carry put his purpose in this res
pect. If with this wo can have
Let, ns Have An Income Tax.
That the tariff should be revised
we think is right and proper; and
believing thus, we of course earn
estly favor compliance with our
platform, * .
As the platform sets out, and as
has been endorsed by the people
theTlemocratic party it seems to ns,
can do no less than make an effort
to redeem this, as indeed it should
every other pledge which.-it has
made.
It may be urged by protection
ists that if the party complies with
this particular promise it should
increase rather than diminish the
tariff, since it does not now, nor is
it likely for years to come, to fur
nish a sufficient revenue for our
government. That is true as the
matter now stands; but if the as
sertions of McKinley and his fol
lowers are to be relied on, to in,
crease the tariff would only, dimin
ish the revenue still more; and we
are of opinion that such would be
the result.
The annual expenditures of our
government will perhaps never
again be much less than what they
now are, say $1000,000,000. For,
while it is true that the amoum
paid out for pensions will, after a
time materially decrease, we think
that it will not occuruuder eight
or ten year. By that time the
population will have largely in
creased, and that will pause a ;*cor u
responding increase in our regular

sufficient, anil Congress will
compelled to increase it, either
by means of internal revenue,"
by obtaining, increased receipts
from custom?! We think it will
be good policy, if not a necessity,
to resort to both the sources named
to secure a larger revenue.
The democratic, party has been
charged with advocating free trade
We are a life long democrat and
bold ourselves to be as orthodox in
the ’ doctrine of our party aR any
member in it, and we can imag
ine conditions under which We
would favor absolute free trade;
but we do not believe, neither .do
we hope that such a state of affairs
will exist here for at least a gener
ation to come. But this by the
way.
We think a revision of tariff-
lowering some duties here, increas
ing present]! du ties—will increase
our revenue, but not sufficiently to
meat our annual expenditures. As
suming that we are correct in this
view of the matter, the additional
revenue we will need and be com
pelled to have, can be obtained on-
y from internal taxation} or from
borrowing. Tho latter mode
wpnld not only be temporary in its
character, but it would add to the
burdens of the people. We take
there is no difference of opinioa
amoDg democrats as to invincible
opposition to this mode, and we
hall not therefore consider it fur
ther.
If, as we believe, we are rigtit in
our view of this question, it neces
sarily follows from what has been
stated, that the party will have to
resort to internal taxation to ob
tain the additional revenue need
ed,
- It is true the party is not pledg
ed to increase the list of internal
taxes; yet this is no reason why
the party should not resort to thi,
mode of taxation. Nor can it be
justly urged that there ie not suita
ble objects upon which to levy
internal taxes. In point of fact,
there is one thing alone upon which
a tax can be levied, which, will
produce all the additional revenue
the government may require, after
a proper revision of our tariff laws
and the honest and economical ad
ministration of the., government.
We of course have reference to a
tax on incomes,
A tax on incomes would not on
ly be based on justice, but could be
much more "easier borne,—would
not Ve any OurtZ'-n, but -mulct bo
an actual benefit- to the country.
One great, if not tba greatest nec
essity for government is the
protection of the rights of proper
ty. Bence, a large part of the ex
penses of government should be
borne by tbe owners of property.
For the past quitter of a century
the tendency! of law and other
cansea® has been to consentrate
wealth in the hands of the few
at the expense.of the many.- This
tendency has been allowed to exist,
if not encouraged, by government
until it has put over half the
wealth of the country in hands of
about twenty thousand men. The
natural conseqnences have followed
such an unjust system. The rich
have become, and are daily grow
ing richer at the expense of the
poor, who have grown so poor,
hundreds of thousands of them
that, under the hard times and
depression of business, inseparably
connected with such a state of af
fairs, they are not able to obtain a
sufficiency of even t he necessaries
of life. This state of affairs if al
lowed to continue will in a com
paratively short time deprive us oi
free government and place our la-
boring classes as low down as th
poor,' half paid, half fed laborers of
Europe.
The country is already in such a
condition that it will require a se
rious effort on the part of the
masses to emancapate themselves
from theslavery with which" theyare
threatened and of which, for the
past two or three years they have
had soine experience. The. first
step to bring relief to the people,
restore toihem'rights of which they
have been already deprived and se •
cure them in the profession of
those, which yet remain to them,
is to levy a graded income tax on
all incomes above say, one thou
sand dollars. The class of menup-
on which such a tax would fall are
better able far to hear it than tbe
poor who now pay most of the tax
es. Not only so,- but it is just
such a tax as should be levied,
because those upon whom it would
fall have not for years paid their,
just part of the taxes, With in
comes of millions, many have not
for years paid a. cent of the taxes,
although this class above all other
classes fleed the protection of the
law.
Let a democratic Congress' and
president give'its, among its first
acts, a graded income tax. Such
a law would be" popular because it
