Tite war is over, it is true, but a

entirely too soon to abolish the
"war tax.’’
Because we cannot, wit It any
regard for justice and right, ac
cept Mr. Randall's ideas of pro
tection, some people think that
we are unginleful for the great
service lie rendered to the South
fifteen or twenty years ago.
The Eufauln Mail declares that
the result of the late election in
Atlanta was a triumph of “free
dom over fanaticism.” The Ohio
republicans call the Southern poo
pie “barbarians,” but that don’t
make it true.
The liquor men of Atlanta can

of negroes were engaged in a fn

his position clear on Hint (pics

.something of more interest from

in the caucus of the democratic
members of the lower house ot
Congress, during the contest over
the nominations for doorkeeper,
Mr. Blount of Georgia, and Mr.
Breckinridge of Kentucky, lie
canto very angry and engaged in a
small light. Neither was hurt,
and friendly relations were soon
restored.
The cry that has gone np from
some quarters demanding the
abolishment of the “infamous in
ternal revenue laws” seems to he
meeting with poor success. It is
said that there is not a member
of Congress who is in favor of
taking the tax off of whiskv. Red
liquor, therefore, must continue to
aid in supporting the govern
ment.
Yellowstone Kit, who acheived
so much distinction during the
late election campaign in Allan

ration of the liquor traffic, is said

Mr. G eorge 1’. Woods, of the

how intolerably disgusting wore

his letter to the Dispatch as fol

burdensome taxation upon one
class of its citizens for the pur
pose of building up lt>e industries
of another class. This is precise
ly what protection does. Reduced
to its last analysis it means a bur
den to the many ami a bounty to
the few. Under the operation of
such a law the favored few grow
rich while the great masses of the
people grow poor. While the til
lers ot the soil are practically
“hewers of wood and drawers of
water,” they actually create
the wealth that fills the coffers of
those whose industries are fostered
and protected by the government.
The very idea of such a tiling is
monstrous, and its actual exist
ence is a disgrace to any country.
Our congress has the right to
raise money by taxation sufficient
to defray the legitimate and ncccs
sary expenses ol the government,
and for no other purpose. Our
chief source of revenue is, and
should lie, from customs duties;
and in laying these duties, protec
lion should not lte a primary tun
sideralion. but merely an incident
of lhe system. “A tariff for rove
nue witli incidental protection” is
the old Demorrilic theory, and
should commend itself to every
good citizen's sense of justice and
right. But the tariff laws under
which we are living were not de
vised by the Democratic party,
and therefore do not conform to
the Democratic theory. They were
enacted by lire party of “high mor
al ideas,” rather for the purpose
of benefiting the bounty lakers,
than with a view to revenue, l’ro
lection was the leading idea—
tite primaty consideration, and
that party holds the same views
to day. It is the duly of the peo
pie, who have been so long the
victims of this injustice, to du
inaml a reform oi the laws whose
burdens have been so unequally
distributed.
The Best Place tor u Surplus.
Let them scheme, plan, finan
cier, or grab as they may, the
men at Washington will never
find a better or a jttsler place fot
a dollar not required by the gov
ernment than in the pocket of the
man who earned it.
From the starting-point of the
pocket the surplus money will

“channels of trade.”
It will not diminish its value
by filtering through the hands of
officials, contractors and other
tax-eaters.
It wiff not remain in the na
tional treasury, a standing temp
tation to the extravagant notions
of men who find it easy to vote
away other people’s money. It

It is said that General Toombs
was fond of boasting that during
iiis eighteen years of service in
the Congo ss of the United States
lie never obtained a dollar as an
appropriation for his district.
General Tootnbs was opposed to
such appropriations upon the
ground that the federal govern
ment had no constitutional au
thority or power to engage in the
work of internal improvement,
and no doubt his views were cor
rect. That is not one of tite pur
poses for which the union was
funned, and under the exercise
of that power by Congress many
schemes of public plunder have
been, ami will he, carried on to
the detriment of the interests ofl
the people. It is a great pity that!

his talk by making this proposi

the number is not less than ten.

corn next year, and the one who
makes the most to receive from
each of the other contestants five
bushels of corn as his prize.” This

Mr. N. T. Crozier spoke of the
depressed condition of the farm

ance of adopting such measures
as held out any hope or promise
of relief. lie pointed out the sav
ing that could he accomplished by
buying plantation supplies and
other goods needed by farmers
from first hands. This had been
one of the objects of the grange,
and it could lie done just as well
by a farmers' club. The Society
decided to thoroughly investigate
the matter, and made it the sub
ject for discussion at next meet
ing. Delegates were then elected
to each of the semi-annual con
ventions of the State Agricultural
society for next year. Mes-r*.

Well. Colonel, I understand you
have been up to Atlanta?
Yes; my wife and I went np a
few days ago and look a look at
the Gate City, with a view of !o
eating there.
How were you pleased with the
city?
I was delighted.
Did you take in much of the
city?
My wife and I, in company with
Maj. Moreland and his faithful
driver. Uncle Sol, left Moreland
Park in a carriage behind two fine
black trotters a ml made our way
to the new cipiloi; from there we
were driven to Grant Park, about
four miles soul h of the city, s|>onl
an hour or two driving around
that beautiful park, and seeing
enough to satisfy us llrnt it will,
in tile near future, he a delightful
place of resort. From there we
were driven to Lillie Switzerland,
a little east of Grant Park. There
I was amazed to see what a little
skilled labor anti small means
could accomplish in a short time.
From there we drove hack tn the
heart of the business portion of
the city, took a look at that mag
nificent building, the Kimball
House, anil from thence we drove
to the house of my old friend, and
acquaintance. Hunnicull A Beilin-
gralli, where I met and was intro
dneed to ex Gov Joseph E Brown,
now one of utir honored Senators.
I was surprised to see hint looking
so fresh and youthful; told him I
had read and heard a great deal
of him, and had the pleasure of
voting tor him every time his
name had been before the people.
I told him I had informed my
pc'pie in Southwest Ga. that it
lie did not run next time 1 would
vote lor his wife, Mrs. Brown, at
which the old gentleman laughed
heartily. From there wc went to
Peachtree street, which I found to
lie the prettiest street I ever look
ed upon, and saw the greatest va
riety of beautiful residences,
there being scarcely, two alike.—
From that point we went to the
Piedmont Fair Gmunds, and saw
unmistakable evidence of much
inud and “slush.” then went on to
Ponce dc Leon Springs, but was
not very favorably impressed. We
then went to Angier's Springs,
where there are three different
kinds of mineral water within a
distance of three feet. From this
point we made our way to that
beautiful summer resort, Moreland
Park, passing on our way by the
headquarters of the Federal army,
where the lamented Federal Gen
eral Me PhertHin mounted his horse
for the Iasi lime, being killed in a
few mnBK’Rls thereafter. After
about seven hours’ ride we landed
at Moreland Park and partook ol
an elegant thanksgiving dinner,
prepared by the accomplished wife
of Maj Moreland.
