Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia,
a Democratic member of the

spoke last Thursday upon the tar

ablest speech that has so far been
delivered upon the great question

A bloody fight occurred, re
ccntly at Jackson, Mississippi
between Mr. J. H. Martin, a bril
liant young journalist, and Gen

distinguished inen in the State,
which resulted in the instant
death of both parties. The trage
dy is everyw here greatly deplored.
Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia,
concluded his great speech before
Congress upon the tariff bill in
the following eloquent and signifi
cant language:
“There will he no industrial
peace in the country until the tax
laws are established upon a basis
lair to all. [Applause] We will
keep the country rocking from
ocean to ocean until we secure
justice and fair dealing among all
citizens. ‘You may strike down
that tribune of people at the other
end ol the avenue, who, putting
aside ail ideas of prudence, spoke
out that ringing summons that
rallied the people as nothing else
ever did. You may strike down
the leaders of this fight, as you
struek them down in the last con
gress and the previous congress.
Those wlio hold the standard may
fail, but other hands will take it
up and move forward. The spirit
of our intelligence is behind us
All we can hope for the destiny
and greatness of this country
urges us forward, and in the lan
guage of our speaker, “Whoever
may falter; whoever may fail, the
people of the country mean that
its glorious destinies shall he pre
served; that they shad he trans
nutted unimpaired to posterity;
that the country shall not belong
to monopolists on the one hand
or to communists on the other,
but shall be, as it was designed
to be, of the people, for the people
and by the people.”
Let as not be Deceived.
When Senator Brown, and his
organ, the Atlanta Constitution,
saw that their Republican posi
tion upon the tariff question was
utterly repudiated by the people
of Georgia, they began at once to
prattle about Democratic har
mony. As long as they could see
a ghost of a chance to commit the
people against Mr. Cleveland and
his message, they fought day and
night, and resorted to the lowest
and meanest methods that could
be conceived of to accomplish their
purpose; and when at last the
• hand writing” appeared upon the
wall, and they fully realized iheii
most inglorious failure, they be
gan at once to assume the ridicu
lous altitude of champions of
"Democratic harmony.” Well,
harmony is at ail tunes desirable
and important, and it is especially
so at this particular juncture,
when parly success should be
the patriotic aim of every true
Democrat; but these late devotees
and champions of harmony have
arrogated to themselves superior
patriotism, and superior wisdom,
und claim the right, therefore, to
dictate the manner by which par
ly concord may be accomplished.
They have made the wonderful
discovery that “party harmony is
more important than the tariff,”
and having been driven from ev
ery other position, they have ta
ken their stand upon this, and
will use it for all it is worth to
defeat the policy of President
Cleveland, and to perpetuate tile
present Republican tariff which
•‘robs alike the cradle and the
grave.” It is only another thinly
disguised scheme to mislead and
deceive the people. Its meaning
is apparent to the most careless
and superficial observer, and
should be treated with the con
tempt it deserves by the great
Democratic party leaders who
have the interest and welfare of
the people at heart. Have these
patriotic champions of harmony
expressed their willingness and
determination to support the Mills
Bill? This is emphatically a com
promise measure, and was pre
pared with special reference to a
conciliation of conflicting views
and interests. Has Senator Brown
anywhere, oral any time, even in
limatetl that he would support it?
lias his organ, the Constitution,
ever contained an editorial or par
.■graph advocating its passage?
Not at ail; and what is their po
sition to-day before the country?
They occupy the attitude of chain
pions of party harmony, while they
absolutely refuse to concede one
iota for the sake of bringing aboiii
this desirable end. Can the pen
pie have any confidence in such
miserable pretenses? Can they lie
imposed upon by such insincerity
and duplicity? Wc think not. The
truth is, the Senator and his or
gan arc opposed to any reduction
of taxation in the interest of the
people, and they don’t intend that
the Mills’ bill, nor auy measure of
a similar character shall.hecome a
law it they can help it. They are
not altogether discouraged by the
crushing defeat which they have
recently sustained in Georgia, and
which their friends have sustain
ctl elsewhere, lint, under the dis
guise of much uoisy clamor about
the importance of “parly liarmo
ny” they are industriously at work
for the purpose of securing post
ponement until the November
election, the result of which,, they
hope, will be favorable to their
cause. They have predicted—and
they no doubt desire it—that the
tariff reform movement will be de
feated when it comes to be .decid
ed by the people, and in such an
event they would raise the exult
ant cry, “I told you so! 1 told you
so!” and renew with redoubled
energy their warfare upon justice
and popular rights.- But they
will he disappointed. The people
will reelect President Cleveland,
and a Congress that will carry out
j his policy. Their cause is q just
and righteous one, and the powers
of monopoly will not prevail
against it. It would seem that
the Atlanta Constitution should
have learned a most valuable les
sen from the action of the people
in the counties in this Stale when
the tariff question was (he recog
nized issue. After several months
of continual iliscassion, during
which that paper saw proper to
antagonize the lime honored prin
e 1 pies of the Democratic party,
and to fight day after day the
measures of a Democratic Con
gress, only two counties could he
induced to embrace its views, and
to follow its leadership. It has
not “flopped
once more in the ranks of the
Democratic party. Until tbtn

Fred Douglass.
We read a few days ago a speech
which was recently delivered in
Washington City by Frederick
Douglass, who is, perhaps, llie
ablest, and certainly, the most
prominent representative and lead
er of the colored race in America.
It was a most remarkable effusion,
but just such a one as should
have been expected from him. on
the eve of a Presidential election,
when the great extremities of the
Republican* party absolutely re
quire that something lie done to
re-invigorate the had passions of
the past, and to inaugurate s
fresh crusade against the South

The Bloody Skirt.
There is now no longer any
doubt that the Republican party
will risk one more Presidential
campaign upon sectional issues.
In tact, llieie is no other issue on
which it can go to the country
with any hope of success. It lias
ucver been a national party, and
never can he, beeuuse it orgiftaled
as a sectional party, and has won
all its victories upon sectional is
sues. Hatred of the South was
the chief characteristic of the car
ly leaders of the parly, and hatred
of the Sou' ll constitutes the car
dinal feature of its platforms to
day. When its greatest living
leader, James G. Blaine, recover
ed from the surprise and shock of
defeat in 1884, his first public ut
terance was a denouncement of
the South, and a hold declaration
and misrepresentation, and proves
clearly that he is infiuiudy more
concerned about the success of
his party, than for the welfare of
his race. He boldly asserts that
the negroes have made no pro
gress since they were cuiancipa
led, ami charges the former mas
ters with being the eauseof it. He
declares that it has been the <le
sire, and purpose of the Southern
whites to keep them in poverty,
ignorance, and degradation, so as
to make them belter slaves than
they were while in bondage. There
is not an intelligent colored man
in Georgia to day who does not
know that such assertions and
charges are utterly false. There
may he found all over the State
well educated negroes, and thou
sands of them have acquired prop
erty, and some have made for

idence to show that they have
made considerable improvement,
materially and intellectually. The
way is open and clear for the pro
gress and development of the col
ored race, ami the whites, instead
of hindering them, have offered
their encouragement and assist

anybody who is.willing to admit
the truth, that if the negro does
not improve Ins condition morally,
mentally and financially, he ranst

recent threatening fulminalions of
Ingalls in the Senate, no opportu
nity to misrepresent and abuse
the Mouth has been permitted to
pass unimproved. Fred Doug
lass, who aspires to be the adviser
and leader of his race, has made
his quadrennial Southern tour,
und has issued his Republican
campaign manifesto, in which he
breathes war and vengeance
against the white people of the
South. Every thing points plain
iy aud unmistakably to one of Lite
most acrimonious and diabolical
crusades ever made against Ibis
section of the union. The wicked
and selfish men who are engaged
in this nefarious woik, were the
first to introduce strife and dis

QUITMAN COUNT! CONVENTION.
Ol. Harrison Captures the Cparea-
tisa and Cat* a Figare for a Season.
Geokgetown, May 5.—In pur
suance of a call by the Democrat
ic executive committee, a mass
meeting was held at the court
house this evening at two o’clock,
for the purpose ol sending dele
gates to the Atlanta convention,
■with the following result: After
the object of the meeting had
been stated by the chairman of
the executive committee, M L
Albritton was elected to preside
over the meeting and Win. A. Hill
appointed as seeretaly. The f«»l
lowing resolutions were offered by
Col. John W. Lee:
1st. Be it resolved by the Dem
ocrals of Quitman county. That
wc most heartily endorse the ad
ministration of President Cleve
land. and congratulate the people
in having placed in office one who
has so ably discharged every duty
with credit to himself and honor
and fidelity to the whole people.
2d. Resolved, That while we
recognize the fact that there is a
difference of opinion among the
Democrats of the country upon
the tariff question, it is an honest
one in the exercise of their indi
vidual rights, and should not di
vide the party.
Indorsing as we do the clean
and honest administration of Pi es
ident Cleveland.we hereby instruct
our delegates to use” their utmost
endeavors to secure his renomina-
tion to the office he so ably fills.
To this last resolution the fol
lowing amendment was ottered by
Wm. A. Hill: “And our delegates
are hereby instructed not to vote
for any delegate to the St. Louis
convention who dues not fully in
dorse the administration of Presi
dent Cleveland, and who is not
in full accord with his views upon
the tariff as expressed iu his lues
sag*”
To this last clause, indorsing
the President's tariff policy. Col.
William Harrison objected, and
moved lo amend the amendment
by striking out that clause. Tlih
motion prevailed, and tiie resoiu
tions were adopted as amended.
Oil motion of Colonel Lee, the
chair appointtd a committee to
select delegates and the following
were presented: Sam Gtierry, Ed
ward Varner. J. E. Harris, A. II.
Yell and M. I. Duskin.
Colonel Harrison objected to
this delegation on the ground that
the tariff views of every one of
them were the same as those which
the meeting had just refused to in
dorse, and what had been de
1’eateii in open meeting, had thus
been accomplished by circumlocu
lion.
A motion was then made to re
scind the action just taken and let
the body elect the delegates by a
vote. The motion was lost ami
llie meeting adjourned.
Wm. A. Hill, Secretary.
Editors Telegraph: Please al
lowr me to offer a word or two of
explanation in justice to an over
whelming majority of the citizens
of this county who favor tariff re

ocrats of the connly indorse the
sentiment expressed by the
amendment offered by myself in
the meeting referred to above, the
action upon which by that meet
ing docs not meet their approha
tion by any means. This is a very
busy season of the year with farm
ers, as everybody knows, and hut
few of them go to town except
upon Saturday, and sometimes
very few on that day. The firsi
notice published of the call by the
executive coiumillee for the mass
meeting held to day. appeared io
yesterday's “Cnihbert Liberal”
and the “Enterprise and Appeal’
tile day before. A notice dated
May 1st, was posted up in the
postol’iee at Georgetown. As a
natural consequence of such short
notice, but few citizens outside ol
Georgetown knew anything of the
meeting, and if there is really any
genuine tariff reform sentiment
among the citizens of that little
burg it did not exhibit itself to
the enjoyment of his civil and po
lilical liberties, and that bis con
di'ion is no longer a leal cause for
discord and agitation. But the
exigencies of their party forbid
the acknowledgement of these
truths. They foresee that the
abandonment of sectional bicker
ing, and the restoration of frater
nal relations among the States,
mean the inevitable and continued
triumph of the Democratic party.
It is all they can do Dow, by the
most adroit use of the party- whip

is no doubt that the Democracy,

Good health depends upon pure blood;
therefore, to keep well, purify the blood

mors. impure particles, and effete mat
ter through the lungs, liver, bowels, kid

Hood's Sarsaparilla
is that it strengthens and builds up the
system while it eradicates disease.
“I must say Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the
best medicine I ever used. List Spring
I had no appetite, and the least work 1
did fatigued me ever so much. I began

Tiie Farmers’ Trust.
sA. Convention of farmers met in
Topeka, Kan., on Wednesday last
to organize a Farmers' Trust. It
was well attended, representations
Iteino present from about all llie
Western States. The liust was
I'oimed and will soon be in opera
tion.
The 01 iginators of this trust be
lieve that tarmers ran, Vo a very
great extent, control the prices ot
their products by linnling compo
lilion. They wiil do this by
watching the markets closely
through their agents. When the
markets are dull, and tiie supply
fully equal to the demand, they
will withhold their products, and
when il is active, and llie supply
insufficient, they will furnish .what
is needed in such quantities as
will not cause a bleak IB prices.
They also propose to save com
missions bv employing their own
agents to Wan die their products.
Tlier estimate the saving iu com
missions alone al millions of dol
lars annually.
Tins trust is certainly a big
business undertaking, the success
of which is extremely doubtful.
The originator of it is Col. Wal
ler N. Alien, of Kansas, who has
been a leading farmer in that
Si a e for many years. lie is very
enthusiastic, and lias induced a
great many farmers to believe
that llie Irusl is a feasible busi
ness enterprise. He doubtless
got his idea of il from tiie nuiner
ous trusls which have been form
ed within the last year or two in
different parts of the country, such
as the Standard Oil Trust, the
Sugar Trust, the Coffee Trust,
etc., but lo make the Farmer’s
Trust a success it will require a
great deal more business talent
ihan is- necessary to direct any
one of the other trusts.
The Sugar Trust, for instance,
only.emhraces a few sugar refine
ries, and the Cotton Seed Oil
Trtfst about ninety cotton seed
oil mills, but the Farmers’ Trust,
in order lo influence the market
in the least, must control the pro
ducts of tens of thousands of far
mers. How will it he possible to
briug so many men into an organ
ization so that they will act har
moniously together? Of course
iliere will he agencies in all the
cities and larger towns, and il
may l>e that the trust will have
representatives in every county
in the district within its jttrisdic
linn, bul will it not he difficult, il
not impossible, to get competent,
men for all these positions, and it
they can lie obtained, w ill it not
he extremely difficult to so direct
them that they will act in liar
uiony and secure the objects aim
ed at?
The other trusts which are now
altrucling so large a share of pub
lic alleniton arc no doubt robbing
the farmers, and the farmers feel
that they must do something for
self-protection, but can they get
Uie desired protection from iliis
trust? The chances arc they can
not. The trust is certain lo he
unwieldiy, and il w-ill be about
impossible to bring into it enough
farmers lo affect ike market hen
efieially. The necessities of four-
fit ills of them* will compel them
lo accept whatever prices they
can get. They cannot afford to
hold their crops uulti they can
command satisfactory prices, and,
besides, the cnuqielilion with
which they have lo contend is not
wholly domestic. The prices ol
their w heat is fixed in Liverpool,
and there they have lo compete
with Hie wheat producers of India
aud Russia. The trusls which
arc robbing them are protected
from competition by the high pro
leclive tariff, and hence they meet
with some success.
The farmers arc much more
likely to he benefited by having
the tariff dulics reduced so that
they can gel many things which
arc necessaries cheaper. It they
can gel llie prices of things liiey
have to buy reduced they will he
just as well off as if they should
gel better prices lor what they
have to sell. There is anolher
tiling they can do. They can in
sist upon legislation lhal will de
slroy li.e trusls which oppress
them. The development of then
trust selienie will he watched with
great interest, hut il is douhlftil
if confidence in the sucecss of it
is very strong.—Savannah A'ervs.
