1 lie tail continues its effort to
wag the dog.
Denunciation is not argument,
though some people evidently
think so.
The Constitution says that Mr.
Cleveland is not a “gennine demo
crat.”
Patterson, N. J., and Philadel
phia. Pa., each had a disastrous
conflagration on the 23rd inst.
The Atlanta Constitution ailvo
cates that policy of government
which “pumps the poor to impale
the rich."
The farmer is required to pay
tribute to the manufacturer, and
this is called patriotism. What
strange views some people hav**!
What is a “thin legged free Ira
tier?'’ Senator Brown's free whis
(iey organ of Atlanta lias di SCOT-
ered such a thing.
Mr. Carlisle is improving, and.
without another backset will soon
he able to resume his oliicial du
tics.
The Republicans of Cincinnati
have organized a “Sherman
League” whose object is to look
after Senator Sherman's presides
tiai boom.
Gridin, Ga., has had eight first
class failures this fall, with nil its
whiskey, and yet there are some
who think whiskey builds
up a town.
Our Commissioner of Agricul
ture believes that silk culture can
lie made successful and profitable
in Georgia, and lias therefore re
quested the proper person at Wash
ington to send him 1,500,000 eggs
for distribution.
The national board of trade ad
opted a resolution recently de
daring that while it is desirable
to reduce the intei nal taxes, it is
not desirable to abolish Jibe inter
nal revenue system as a whoh.
This evidently means that the
whiskey tax must lie let alone.
Mr. Breckinridge of Kentucky,
made a magnificent speech in con
gress on the occasion of the pre
sentation and reception of por
traits of distinguished ex-speakers
of the House. He is an able man
and a giTled orator; and best of
all is a representative of the in
terest ol the people.
The people should see to it that
all men, from the lowest to the
highest, who nre selected to rep
lesent them tn the capacity of
legislators, are in |ierfecl accord
with their constituents in the just
demand for a revision; of the lar
iff, aud a reduction of federal lax
ation.
The editor of the Sunday Times
evidently desire- the disruption
of the democratic party, and the
dissolution of the Soli.I South.
But fortunately for the country
the colonel will not have his de
sires in these respects gratified.
He can stand it, however, as he is
accustomed to disappointments
One of the essential principles
of our government as enunciated
by Thomas Jefferson in Ids first
inaugural address is, “economy
in the public expense, that labor
may be lightly burdened.” The
•editor of the Sunday Times, al
though he claims to he a Jefferso
nian democrat, declares that he
is opposed to this principle.
After the republicans of the
Senate bad concluded the exbibi
lion of their partisan and section
al malignity and littleness, in op
posing the confirmation of Justice
Lamar; those of the House began
a similar performance in the
Thoebe Carlisle case liy attempt- j
AaJ Methods.
The Atlanta Constitution in its
feat lul denunciation of tile tax on
whiskey, declares that the law
which authorizes the collection of
this revenue is so outrageous in
its character that it has no paral
lel in the civ ilized world except,
perhaps, in “Russia where tyran
ny exists in its most odious form.”
If the Constitution objects to the
modus operandi of the law, why
does it not propose and advocate
an amendment that would remove
the grounds of this objection? If,
in the execution of the law, tin-
necessary hardships are brought
upon any of our citizens, every
body will agree that this is an
evil an.) should be remedied
Even a culprit should not be pun
islicd beyond the demands of jus
lice. But our contemporary docs
not propose, and does not desire,
a remedy. It knows that the
moonshiner violates the revenue
laws knowingly and wilfully, and
that lie is vmlilled tn no more sym
patliy than any oilier violator ot
law. This pretended icgard for
the “poor moonshiner” is a piece
of hypocrisy so conspicuously
transparent that it should notdc
ceivc anybody. The object is to

Editors Enterprise A Appeal:
1 am concerned about the rc

commissioner ot agriculture, going
to show that in our Stale farming

have gone to considerable trouble
in gathering what I deem strictly
reliable information upon Ibis im
(Mu tant question. I am so well
satisfied with the result of m_v in
vesligatiou—so far as Randolph
county is concerned—that, not
withstanding a natural dislike
to have my name appear in print,

your spaders the facts upon which
J base my conclusion that it is a
mistake to say our fanners nre
yearly growing poorer and less
aide to bold their own in the gen
eral struggle for a name and place
in the land. 1 want to state lie
fore I go further, that most of the
facts upon which I rely arc tin-
sworn statements of res|ieclable,
reliable and honorable taxpayers
of our own county.
A careful comparison of the tax

Governor Gordon, Senator Col
quitt, nnd our ten representatives
in Congress; against the views ol
nine tenths of the press of the
Slate, nnd fully four fifths of the
party in and out of Congress.
But the magnitude of the job does
not justify the employment of cx
aggeration, misrepresentation, and
deception, in the hope of its ac
complishment. When it says that
those who oppose the abolishment
of the internal revenue system are
not “genuine democrats,” it says
what is not true. When it says
that the administration ol the
revenue law rivals in barbarity
and cruelty that of the criminal
laws of Russia, it says wlial is not
true. During this discussion
which has been in progress more
tbau a month, the Constitution
lias not yet advanced a single ar
gument in favor of its position,
but has deliberately sought to
create a false impression upon the
country, by boldly asserting that
the violators of our revenue laws
arc subjected to a degree ef ven
geance, and cruelly, and pcrsecu
Iton, equal to the horrors of the
Russian penal servitude. This
is fanaticism gone mad. Will
anybody be imposed upon by
sucii a transparent fraud? It is
not only an attempt to arouse
eympatliy for criminals, but its le
gitimate and logical consequence
will be to encourage violation nf
law. It is a hypocritical liuuian-
itariahism, whose tendencies arc
dangerous to the security of out
political institutions. It is Ibis
same hue and cry that we bear ev
cry year in the balls of onr Legis
laturc against the Georgia peni
tentiary system. The whole idea
•is at variance with the principles
and purposes of government, and
loes not recognize the fact that
the violator of the law must suffc:
punishment.
But, perhaps, the strangest part
ot the Constitution's position is
yet to be 'noticed. After breath
ing wrath and vengeance against
the so called ‘whiskey ring;"’ af

nunciation against the internal
revenue; after declaring that none

! Our contemporary is inconsistent
and I or insincete, which is it? Those
who are familiar with its career
for the (>ast five years can doubt
less answer this question for them
selves- It declares that the Pres
ident is not a"gennine democrat;"
it declares that he is a free trader;
it declares that

that lie favors » policy that will
be ruinous to American iudes ries,

Not content with the showing
already made, Vc now took, at ran
limn, the names of such good, live,
representative citizens as occurred
to us. and compared their returns
for taxes, in 1S77, and 1887, as by
them given in under oath for those
years, respectively. Such men as
Pearce, Raily and Yarbrough, of
the Ninth; Keese, Mullins, Jones.
Cleveland, Bridges, Gorily and
Ivey, of the Tenth; Fulton, Ker
sey and Knighton, of the Fourth;
C. Taylor, Dan Stewart. Manrv.
Sharlcy and Lockett, of the Fifth.
Stevens, Andrews, Jenks, Nichols
and Dozier, of tlie Sixth; Bnrrv.
Crozier, Scaly atnl Rogers, of the
Seventh. Among all this number,
taken indiscriminately from all the
districts, we find but three returns
that show a decrease, and in each
of these three cases the decrease
is slight, while all the others show
an increase of laxaldc property
ranging from 40 to40uper cent.
It is very gratifying to me to
be able to say that the records
show veiy many who have been
struggling under the weight of old
executions, etc., now happily rid
of their troubles. It is a fact,
strong enough in itself to conlro
vert tire theory of those who fear
for the future of our farmers, that
in spile of the short crops, three
mortgages have* been cancelled
from llic records, to every one re
corded during the last three
months.

Who of them, on or off" the tax
books, show to have prospered,
and to be prospering, as do the
examples just enumerated among
the farmers?
It is unfortunately true that
many of our professional men (in
the, perhaps, vain hope of better
ing llieir business) have pulled up
and gone out from us. It is also
true that many of our merchants
—some of tliem^seeiuingly doing
a large business—have been forced
to the wall by creditors, and are
now trying by agriculture lu re
pair their shuttered finances.
