The Atlanta Constitution had a

The action of the late Demo
cratic Convention didn't please
the advocates of a system of tax
ation that impoverishes the many
for the benefit of the few.
Mr. Turner, our immediate rep
resentative in Congress, spoke
last Wednesday upon liie tariff
bill, and made one of the best
speeches of the session.
Georgia, Alabama, and Tennes
see, the so called protection Stales
of the South, have all adopted
platforms demauding in the
strongest possible terms a reduc
tion of tariff taxation.
Protectionists anil Republicans
delight to speak of this section of
the country as the “New Sonth.”
The |>eopie, however, haven't re
alizctl any change. It is the same
old South.
Some of the manufnetursrs of
Philadelphia held a meeting re
ceutiy to ‘‘protest*’ against the
Mills tariff bill. They see in that
measure a menace to the bounties
which have made them rich.
The Democratic party has al
ways been opposed to the princi
ples nr protection, and on that
question the South will remain
solid. Those, therefore, who de
sire and expect a division of our
people will lie disappointed.
The wonderful unanimity with
which the Democrats throughput
the country demand the re nomi
nation of Cleveland, evinces his
great popularity, and points to a
sweeping and glorious victory in
November.
The “Evening rag tag and the
Weekly bobtail” are eminently
satisfied with the result. Only-
two counties in the Slate could be
iuduced to 8up|>oi t the views ef
the omnipotent and infaliibh-
morning daily of the capitot.
In New York, the greatest mm
nfacturing State of the Union, the
farmers arc more in debt than
they were ten years ago. Accord
ing to the arguments of the pro
tectionists, the farmers of that
Slate should all be rich.
“2. That we are unalterably op
posed to the present war tariff.
We demand a reform of the tariff,
and ^reduction of the surplus in
the treasury by a reduction of tar-
iff taxation.’ —From the Alabama
Platform.
There is no longer any donbl
that Senator Brown does not rep
resent the views of the people of
Georgia upon the great quos
lion of federal taxation, and he
should lose no lime in sending to
the governor his resignation.
After the work of the St. Louis
only by a loose and dangerous j greatest need,
construction of those terms that was composed
the present “River and Harbor
Bill” could have any chance to gel
through Congress. It is not stal
ing the case too strongly to say
that this measure is a violation of
the plaiu provisions of the funda
mental law, and is, therefore, an
outrage upon the principles of
justice and right. Ills true, they
attempt to defend it and justify it
by claiming that it is provided for
The Convention
of representative
men from every section of the
State, and they did not hesitate
to declare to the world the senti
ments of Georgia upon the lead
ing and only real issue now be
fore the country. The formidable
effort tnadein certain quarters in
favor of a rejieal of the whisky tax
as a means of defeating the just
demand for a reduction of tariff
taxation, received no sympathy at
meet in St. Louis on the 5th of
June:
The Democratic party of Gcor
gia. ill convention assembled, rep
resenting the-counties of the State,
which have given their views with
nnusun! fullness and authority,
j makes the following declaration ol
principles:
Resolved. That the Democratic
party of Georgia cordially indors

Cleveland as eminently wise, jost|
and patriotic, and deserving tbe|

uutler the "general welfare clause.’’ j the hands of the people. In
but such a defense is a monstrous
perversion of the intents and pur
poses of that clause of the consti
tution. There are items in this
Bill providing for the cleaning out
of creeks and branches that the
best postedstudent of geography
in Georgia has probably never
heard of. and yet its advocates
strain their consciences to the ex
lent of declaring that it is for the
“general welfare.” If this clause
of the federal com pact means any
North Georgia, where it was bold

had become quile popular, the
tariff reform sentiment was found

in the Stale. The platform which

tain market is tyranny, and the:
demand that taxes shall he levied,
not for revenue, lmt lor the liene
fit of a favored class, is. an abomi
nation and an outrage that no
liberty loving people should to'.cr
ale. It was against just such an
outrage that the Democrats of
Georgia were recently called upon
to speak, and they spoke in such
plain and positive language that
nobody can misunderstand them.
There was no reason why they
should have spoken otherwise.—
They simply demanded justice
and right, and with less than that
they should never be satisfied. An
effort has been made to arouse
svmpalhv in behalf of Mr. Pal
IValsh. of Augusta, who was so
signally defeated before the eon
ven’ion ns a candidate for dele
gale from tlie State at large to the
St. Louis Convention; but tlie ef
fort is ridiculous, and will meet
as l lie most available plan of se
curing reduction, the tariff reform
bill reported to the national house
of representatives lay the nia)ority
of the committee of ways and
means, known ns the Mills hill;
and we tender to the chairraac
and his colleagues our thanks for
their earnest efforts to accomplish,
with the full lights lie fore them,
all that was practicable iu the way
of riflnt ill.
Resolved, That tlie thanks
the democratic parly of Georgia
are duo, and. are hciehy tendered
to Senator Alfred II. Colquitt, for
Ins aide s|>eec!i in the senate of
ihe United States in defense of
the messagv of the president up
ou the subject of tariff reform.

convention are instructed to east

Cleveland for President, and for a

thing, it means the welfare of the : cst degree of personal liberty con
whole people of the United Slates. I sislent with public safety, and the
and, therefore, any appropriation j smallest amount of taxation cnt *-! t ijiles of the Democratic party,
of money by Congress for an ob
ject that is necessarily local in its
character is unconstitutional, anil
is a violation of the rights of the
people. Can the cleaning out -of
an insignificant and unknown
creek in Massachusetts add any
thing to the welfare of the citi
zens of Texas? Cun the nuviga
lien of tlie Flirt river in our own
State promote in the slightest de
gree the pros|iei‘ity of the people
of Indiana? The absurdity of
such a thing is so manifest Mial
no argument is needed to demon
strate it. If the cleaning out of
these unknown streams is worth
anything at alt, the benefit is con
fined to the people in their imme
diate vicinity. The Work bring
local, and its importance being re
stricled to a very small number
of citizens, it is neither just nor
right to tax the whole country for
llicir benefit. The Bill, which lias
already passed the House, appro
priates nearly $20,000,000, ami of
course the Senators will desire to
add something to it. Perhaps the
greater part of this immense ap
propriatiou is for small rivers and
insignificant harbors, and the only
way it can |ioesibly affect the
“general welfare” is to make the
people a little poorer by inereas
ing their taxes. It seems to us
that it is about time local! a ball
in Ibis matter, and to confine the
action of the general government,
if possible, strictly within the
sphere of its duties as defined by
tlie terms of the Union. If tlie
people of the States think that
they can be benefited by clearing
their numerous creeks, of lugs and
snags, so that boats can
navigate them during the rainy
season, it is all right. It is cer
= a
lainly a matter for them to decide.
But the government of the Union
can look only after the large riv
ers which penetrate whole sections,
and bear upon their bosoms im
mense quantities of inter State
commerce; aod the great harbors
upon our coast which should be
prepared to accommodate our ex
port and import trade.
But this same lalitnilinarian
construction of the constitution,
which sanctions a vast system ot
local internal improvements, also
permits and encourages other
measures, equally as violative of
the great principles of Stale sov
ereignty; and the eye of prophesy
is not necessary In see that, un
less the evil tendency is effectual
ly checked, the States will ulti
mately lie absorbed by the gener
al government, and a vast consol
idated empire will take the place
of the present federal republic.

of liberty,” and the people should
watch with a jealous eye. and re

determined energy, every en
