The Atlanta Constitution is
very popular now with Northern
republican journals. This is lie
cause the Constitution joins hands
with them, in their warfare upoi.
the democratic party.
The National Democratic com
millec agreed upon the city ot
St. Louis as the place, and the 5th
clay of June as the time, for hold
ing the Presidential nominating
convention. The committee no
doubt acted wisely.
Some very eloquent speeches
were made before the National
Democratic Committee, at ita re
cent meeting in Washington, in
support of the claims of different
cities lo have the lionor of accom
inndating the presidential conic-n
tion.

ever produced, said in his Hist
inaugural address, that •‘encour
agement of agriculture” is one til
the "essential principles" of our
government, which "ought to
shape its administration.” It is.
however, very well known to those
who are familiar w ith our history,
that this “essential principle"
has never been |iertnilled to tie
velup into an ncliie and control
ing political loree. It lias been
pushed into the back ground, and
allowed to remain dormant, while
oilier principles, not essential,
and even hurtful to the best in
tcrests of the country, have simp
ed the policy of the government
for the greater part of its rxis

According to the protection
idea, nil that farmers are good lor.
is to lie taxed lor the purpose ol
“developing the wonderful re
sources of the country.” It is
about time thullbe farmers should
rise tip, and in the majesty ot
their strength, demand ef this
government equality of rights.
Mr. W. XV. Coreoram, the dis
tinguished philanthropist, ol
Washington, died last week at
his home in that city. He bad
lived to lie ninety years old, and
had devoted during his life mil
lions of dollars lo works of eharf
ty. He was an unwavering friend
to llu- South, and Ins death will
be universally lamented.
The AtlalHa Constitution, in its
issue of February 2lid, admits
that it favors free whiskey as tin
only means of preventing a reduc
tion of the tax on the necessities
of life. If this had been done
two or three months ago, a vast
amount of hypocritical cant about
“Russian outrages,” under the
internal revenue system, might
have been kept out of its columns.
Abraham Lincoln didn't know
the difference between a courtU
and a Stale: or, in other words,
he thought that a county hears
the same relation to a State that
a State hears lo the lederal gov
ernment. Ami yet, a man is
sometimes found who is small
enough -to declare that Lincoln
was the greatest man America
ever produced. Isn't it astonish
ing that men wiil w allow lu the
slush of falsehood iu order to pan
tier to popular whims?
The chief occupation of the
special correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution alllie Federal
Capital, seems to be to discover
“startling rumors” concerning the
intentions of the President. He
has several limes recently repot l
ed that Mr. Cleveland was about
to write a letter declining lo be a
Presidential candidate. Tiiesabl
correspondent is quite a success
at discovering tilings that have
no existence.
The Woman's Christian Teiu
peranee Union seems to think
that the best way to promnte tile
cause of temperance is to make
whiskey cheap. They are, there
fore, beseiging Congress with a'
demand for the removal of the
whiskey lax, so that the terrible
evil wiil be brought within easy
reach of every man anti boy in
the country. These misguided
women having gone into polities
with their cranky notions, it is ev
ident that their organization has
outlived the day of its usefulness.
The Atlanta Constitution says
that “the sole and only hope of
Democialic success is in the
hearty, unanimous, and prompt
nomination ot Grover Cleveland.”
and jet it is doing everything in
us powet to defeat his views upon
the tariff question, which is tin
doublcdly the paramount issue
before the country. It may be
safely said that tf the above named
paper could control (lie action of
the National Democratic Conven
tion which will assemble in the
city of St. Louis on the 5th daj
of Juno, the name of Grover Cleve
land would not lie mentioned.
The Atlanta organ of the mo
nnpolisls, also known as the
“great flopper,” continues its vie
ioas assaults upon llie Democratic
parly. It now says that a -for
eigner by the name of Moore lias
entire control of the ways ami/
means committee. This is not
only an attack on the party, but
* a reflection-upon llie public and
private character of Hon. II. G.
Turner, and the other good men
who compose the ways and means
committee. IIow lung will the
good people of Georgia tolerate
this cruel war upon her truest
and best men?

Against the Commutation of the Sen

The Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette, the bitterest anil filesl
Radical sheet published rn the
United States, having seen that
the Atlanta Constitution is stand
ing squarely nn the republican
platform, is anxious In know why
it don't openly and boldly espouse
lltc cause of the republican party.
Tlic Constitution explains liv
saying that such a course would
result in restoring the negroes aud
carpet baggers lo (tower. “Alio
tber era of negro rule would ruin
ns utterly.” The truth is. the
Constitution can fight the demo
crats with better effect in.lUaaout
of the party..
While its products are indispen
sable lo human existence, and
are recognized as the basis of all
prosperity; yet in the legislation
of our country *vc find absolutely
nothing that is calculated to de
velop and encourage this great
interest. All the kindly ay 111 pa

government have been directed
lo the building np of manufact
ures, and the only recognition
farmers have bad lias been mani
Tested in a demand for high and
burdensome taxation, to lhe end
that the country's lesources may
be developed. The result of this
odious and abominable policy has
been to depress and impoverish
our agriculture, and to concen
trate the wealth of the Union in
liiat set-lion where the people an
largely engaged in industrial en
terprises. The nine Stales siltia
ted in the north eastern portion
of country, although they only
have one fourth of the population
vet they possess more wealth than
all the other States combined.
Nearly all the Insurance compa
nies, Railroad companies, Tele
graph companies, and Savings
hanks arc located and controil-cl
in lltc Eastern Slates, where tin
"protected industries” have at
tained to a wonderful degree of
prosperity under the paternal
care of the government. The lit
tic Slate of Rhode Island, not
much larger than an ordinary
county, lias three limes as much
money on deposit in the banks,
as the three large agricultural
Slates of Ohio. Indiana, and Min
nesotn. Mortgages on the farms
tn the Western and Southern
Stales amounting to several bil
lions of dollars are held mostly in
tile little manufacturing States iu
the northeast. The net profits in
farming, us shown by the census
of 1SS0. were about 3 per cent on
the capital invested, while manu
facturing made a net profit of 25
percent. There is no doubt that
a comparison at this time would
show a still gicater disparity, and
it is evident that, unless the
cause of this fearful State of af
fairs is promptly met, anil effect
ually remover! by the government,
the great majority of the people
who are tillers of the soil, will be
come for all practical purpose the
tenants of the rich and lordly cap
italists of the industrial Stales.
Under the operation Of the (ires
ent infamous tariff, the farmer is
compelled to sell his cotton, and
wheat, and other products, at
prices that are made and estab
lished in the loiresl market in the
world; and the ptiees of every
thing which necessity compels
him to buy, are made in the high
est market in the world. He can
not carry bis cotton or grain to
Liverpool, anti biing back with
him such things as lie ncids to
clothe his fitmtly, to supply bis
residence and kitchen, and lo
furnish his farm with the neecs
sary tools anti implements. O
no, lie cant do that. The govern
ment compels him to buy those
tilings at home, at a cost tnereas
ed from 25 to more than 100 per
cent by the tariff, for the purpose
of making the manufacturer rich,
and it vines it.
