If every man has his price every other man wants it. : I I S . 1 Many a man is eager to fight for reform until you hit him in the pocket. The sudden dropping off of travel from European ports to the United States has had the effect of bringing about a reduction in rates for ocean travel. It is asserted that a man may now ge to Europe for less money than it costs him to stay at home in a fairly good hotel.

CANTRELL, Secretary, Chairman, _The man who most-deserves our ﬁx;y; i the mor fellow who has no Rie itai B REIOR AR e BROUGHT ON THE PANIC. To the Editors of the Mariétta Journal and all Georgia Papers of [nterest in Georgia. To the Georgia Railroad Commission ers:—l write because immediate action is necesrary. The fight on railrouds brought on the panic by causing the holders of our railroad securities in Europe to unload them on this country until it is impossible to longer se!] large amounts. This has virtually stopped rairoad building and improvements, and thrown thousands of men out of employment. If you will take the trou ble to investigate, you will find thou sands who are not railroad men out of employment on account of the panic. The banks will soon resume payments. This will only help us a little. The most important thing to help the panic is action by you. The longer you delay, the longer the paniec will last. You must take up each railrcad separately, and investigate them thoroughly, and see that they are allowed to muke pro fits on their investment and the present value of their property, snd muke good interest on the improvements. For in stance, take the Atlanta and West Point Railroad. It cost but little, yet it is very valuable. The uwners are ‘entitled to interest on the cost and in -Iterest on its present value, justths 1 same a 8 a holderof city property, which coste but little, is getting rents on the increased value. . Now, please take up the Southern Rajlroad, which needs immediate ac tion, which, if properly treated, would do much to restore confidence and gtreet railroad building in Georgia. ‘Call President Findley, and find out from him what he needs said and done by you, to send his preferred stock from 40 (present price) back to 90, where it was, and what he needs to have to start double tracks from Washington, D. C,, to Atlanta, which has been suspended. The time has now come when the ma jority of the people of Georgia don’t care - what the railroads charge. All they want is to get rid of the panic. Think of the millions of dollars lost by owners of railroads by depreciations. Help these owners, and Europe will gsend back the gold and buy back the railroad securities, and the panie will be gone. It should be your pleasure to call H. M. Atkinson, and tell him the people of Georgia are thankful to Lim and his Boston and Northern friends for building the Atlunta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad, and that you will see that they make good interest \on ‘heir investment; all he has to do | is to let you know when a thing hurts, 'and you hope he and other Northern friends will build more railroads. If \ there is anybody we should be grateful to, iv is the men and women who buoild us railroads. Please call the people who started over a year ago to build an electric railroad from Atlanta to Macon, and on from Macon to Albany, and one from Lithonia to West Point, and tell them all the fights on railroads are over, and tell them that you will see that they make money if they will go on and build their roads for the good of the old State, and we will forgive all who went wild on **Down on railroads.” Now,all pull together, and pay no attention to the “‘one-gallus”’ men who fight street railroad companies If you do, we will soon rnot have any more street and suburban roads built. Remember, the people want improve ments and work instead of hunger and stagnation, My plan takes no money ; it only asks for acts and doings to restore the value of railroad properties, and millions and riches will be increased. I believe you have sense enough to do this. Now, I call on all business men and wage earners to insist on your allowing the railroads to make interest on their investments, thereby keeping them end the railroads out of the receiver’s hands, and returning to us prosperity. If this is not done, and done quickly, the panic will remain on us. Do this, and you will be blessed by the whole people. In times like these, we must ignore the Macon platform and campaign promises made when times were good, and work for Georgia and her people. The depreciation in Southern Railroad stock, amounting to sixty millions of idollurs alone, shows what brought on the troubles. A great many people have the mistaken idea that your busines- is to fight railroads. It isn’t what the 'Commissioners have done that has caused such depreciation in values and lost their credit so they cannot borrow ‘money and renew their notes, but it {3 ‘ the fear that much more will be done. A want of definite policy is needed to ‘'make things worse or better If you will call a meeting of all the Southern 'Railroad Commissioners and adopt my plan, you will see railroad securities ‘advance, and the panic going in sixty ‘daf’s. Your own action will greatly help. My platform is being adopted generally by the people, and the next governor of Georgia will be elected on it—algo those under him. But we can ‘not afford to wait. I say the ﬂgght on railroads by Gov ernment and States, both North and South, brought on the panie, by the depreciation in railroad securities of billions, and all business men will zay it is here yet. I might say high finances ‘brought it on, then manufacture an other word to explain what that was. No one but a heathen could rejoice over 2lg centr a mile railroad fare, with the millions lost to the owners. I am glad to see the vilest railroad fighters saying the railroads muat be treated fairly. getting on my plank. Jorx H. Jawmgs. LAME SHOULDER CURED. [ Lame shoulder is usually eaused by } rheumatism of the muscles and'quickly yielde to a few applications of Chamber lain’s Pain Balm. Mrs. F. H. McElwee. 'uf Boistown, New Brunswick, writes: ‘‘Having been troubled for some timsa with a pain in my left shoulder, I de cided to give Chamberlain’s Pain Balm 8 trial, with the result that I got pron.pt relief.”” For sale by C M Crosby & Uo., Marietta, Ga. A SURFEIT OF LAWS, Wearily cries the New Haveu Register: ‘‘Oh, the lawlesaness of law-making! Oh, Its constant, never-endiug increase! When will our legislative bodies learn that one good purpose which they serve i 8 to sift the chaff from the wheat among the laws, and put the chaff where it will no louger clog the wheels of progresa? One is some times coustrained tc cry out for one inflexible law that will forbid the enactment of any more law for at least ten years.’’ There are too many laws, Fed eral and®State, but the output goes on undiminished. The legis lative acts for each session are longer than the code, the Federal laws are so numerous LO one man can know what they are, and the citizen must be a lawyer in order to know whea he is or is not vio lating the law. The most ignro rant member of the legislature feels it his duty, at least to the interest of his reputation and chance of re-election, to introduce at least a half dozen bills, and to get at least one of them enacted into law. In congress the small member has not much chance to get a bill paseed, but he introduces bills by the armful. Too much law hegets lawless ness. Foolish laws are not en forced, and there is more or less disrespect forall law. Thereis no foretelling what direction the legislative mania will take. This year it may be moral reform, next year warfare on corporations, and the year after regulation of per sonal rights and religious liberty* Whatever happens to be the lead ing topic of conversation at the time, furnishes the subject of legis lati-n. —Griffin News.
