Is the Tariff ■ Business Question
Only I
The advocates of s high pro
leclive tariff arc laboring with the
Utmost diligence and industry
to create the impression that the
tariff question is only a business
problem that must he decided up
on business principles. Such a
-view utterly ignores constitutional
considerations; sets aside the
momentous issue of right and
wrong; and repudiates the funda
mental principle of all free gov
ernment. It is of course a repub
lican view, and it is strikingly
consistent with the record of the
republican party. Its control ol
the union has been remarkable
for its repudiation of principle,
and its audacious disregard of the
rights of the people. In the whole
of its twenty-four years of power,
it lias been entirely guided and
controlled in its action by the
base and selfish maxim, "The end
justifies the means.” It’s record
reeks with dishonesty, roguery,
anil corruption. It lias had no
more regard for the organic law
than a brute has h»- the Sabbath.
The government with them is only
a machine for aiding favored
classes in their private affairs.
A provision of the constitution is
as powerless as a “ro(>o of sand"
to hind them. When you tell
them of their wilful violations ol
the terms of the union, they
promptly answer that there is a
"higher law” which demands their
obedience; and thus to the de
pravity of human selfishness they
add the crime of hypocrisy. The
idea that all public questions
however important they may he.
must he considered and decided
from a business standpoint, is not
only' fraught with falsehood, hut
is bristling with dangers to the
best interest of the people. It is
fortunate for the country that
this false ami dangerous idea
meets with no favor from theDem
ocratic party. A few individuals,
it is true, who claim to be Demo
crats, animated by the same ra
pacily and greed that dominate
the republicans, have abandoned
the constitution, anil the princi
ples of justice and right; and,
looking at everything through the
medium *f personal gain, are
clamorous for the adoption of the
republican maxim, "The end just
ifies the means." The business
feature is the very smallest part
of the tariff problem. Tariff du
ties can be rightfully levied only
for purposes of revenue, and when
this taxing power is prostitutes)
to the purpose of promoting pri
vale gains, it is tyranny of the
most outrageous character. The
government .possesses no right
whatever to levy taxes to foster
certain industries. The object
of all legislation should he to pro
led and benefit every citizen
alike, and not to force the many
to pay tribute to the few. We
therefore most emphatically assert
that there is something more than
dollars and cents involved in the
larifl question, anil that it must
lie decided upon higher and in
finitely more ini|w>rlaut ground.
A great principle lies at the hot
tom id’ it all—the principle of jus
lice and right.

Stay iu Georgia.
It is not a little remarkable
that while many of our people
leave llu-tr native State every year
in the hope cf finding a hotter
home in the West, hundreds and
thousands are annually-coming to
Georgia to secure the same desi
rable object. At this time an im
portant scheme is on bait to ad
vertise the great resources of the
State, a* a means of attracting im
migration. . Our population is too
small. H e need more people to
help us in building up our waste
places. Why go West or else
where in que^t of a more desira
ble home? If you find riehet
lands this advantage will be more
than counterbalanced bv some tut
favorable condition. All things
considered, there is not a better
country in the woild titan Gcor
gia, and there is not a better ot
more desirable locality in Georgia
than Randolph county. Muelt <d
our land, it is true, lias been ex
hausted, and thrown out, but illi
cit n by wise and intelligent man
agemenl he restored to more than
its original fertility. There are
thousands of acres in onr county
which arc now considered worth
less, that tnay be ami will be
brought up to a high state of nil
tivalion. When this is done, the
ugly and unfortunate effects of a
short-sighted and mistaken policy
will be removed, and the pleasing
evidences of prosperity will greet
the eye in every direction. There
is no reason why any one should
“go West.” Energy, industry,
and economy will lie rewarded
with success almost anv where,
hut no where more so than in Ran
dolph county. Our population
must be greatly increased before
our slumbering resources can lie
awakened into life and activity,
and therefore we can ill afford to
lose any of our citizeus by ctuigra
lion. Let us all resolve to stay
at home, around which cluster so
many happy associations;anil aid
in developing the great and n inner
oils possibilities with which a kino
Provtilcnec has blessed us. "A
better place” is a delusion that
lias lured many a matt to a ilesti
ny of irretrievable ruin. We are
loo much prone by human nature
to under estimate the tilings that
we have, and to magnify the op
portunilies and the conditions
that arc supposed to exist in nth
er sections. Let us appreciate
what we now possess, and determ
ine by persevering labor to make
it better.
Political Slavery.
There never was in all the his
tory ol the world a more consum
mate condition of political slavery
than that which exists to day
among the negroes of t his country.
The shrewd and unscrupulous re
publican leaders of the North were
eminently successful iu their ef
forts to secure the political sup
putt of the enfranchised slaves.
These efforts did not com template
the welfare of the negro, but were
prompted ltv a desire to keep the
republican parly in power, so that
the leader* thereof might grow
rich ujion public plunder. The
while republicans were to hold
the offices, while the negroes were
to do the voting. This was a very-
nice arrangement, but it failed of
tiie beautiful results which were
anticipated with so much eager
ness and confidence.
It failed because it meant negro
domination in the Southern Stales,
and negro domination, meant the
bankruptcy and min of evety
Southern interest. The while
|teoplc who possess the wealth and
Intelligence of the country must
and will control it, because its
happiness and prosperity are vi
tally involved. The arrangement
not only failed of its intended re
suits, but actually hem-filed tbe
country by giving increased
strength aud greater jtower to the
Democratic party.
The negro, however, is still the
same subservient political slave
that he was twenty years ago. He
stands ready to implicitly ohey'or
ders of the Northern bosses. He
has no idea of freedom of thought
and freedom of action in politics,
the notion that was instilled into
his uneducated tuitid at the lime
of his emancipation, that his sale
tv and welfare depended upon un
yielding opposition to it is former
master, still controls his action.—
The experience and observation
of nearly twenty-five years have
added nothing to his political
wisdom, and to-day he is groping
his way in the darkness ol bigotry
and prejudice. It is true that in
the North some of the more intel
ligent ones are becoming weary of
the yoke of servitude, and have
indicated a determination to as
sert their independence, liut in the
South they submit with evident
pleasure to tbe dictation of the
political masters. While they
have made some progress in other
directions, yet in politics, it must
be admitted with regret that they
have taken no steps toward broad
and liberal views, aud independ
ence of action.

Letter fro at Rev. IV. II. Cooper.
/editors Enterprise «C Appeal :
It has been so long eineu 1 have
written anything for the p»|iers
that I have almost forgotten how,
the thing ought to he tlone. How j
ever I’ll write some and maybe I j
will get tny band in again. Anil]
first, I want to tell yon how wel
come arc the visits of your excel
lent paper. Whatever else we
tnay not rend, the Enterprise is
never overlooked. All of us are
anxious to know how things are
going on among our old lYiwula in
and around Cutlibert. To me. at
least, it seeina but a few weeks
ago since we were ali at home in
your initial. Anil yet it lias been
more Than two years end a half
since we left. How many eitan
ges have taken place in lhattitne!
I am glad that under them all
Cutlibert still prospeis and the
Enterprise is as clean and pure
::S ever.
i don't believe '-that anything
lias got into I lie papers about it.
but tills place lias been in a whirl
of excitement for several weeks,
and especially* for the last few
days. Some tunc since a commit
lee from Birmingham, represent
ing the Pratt Steel Process, came
over to CarlersyiUe to examine
our ores, and listen to any induct-
inentsihat might he made to lo
cate their works here. They were
satisfied with I he ores, both quail
ty and quantity. Our people
made them offers, which, under
the circumstances, were very lib
eral. They then visited other
places, and it was not till Wctl
nesday that we knew whether we
were to succeed or not. Hut on
Wednesday the Committee came,
papers were signed up on both
sides, tbe site lor the furnaces se
lected, and promise given to com
tnencc work in ten days. So at
last wc are to have an iron iur
nace, a ferro manganese furnace,
ami a lolling nidi.
Your readers can imagine how
tilings have boomed since there
was a certainty of these important
enterprises. Land buyers have
been plenty, and lots altogether
neglected before, have been very
much in demand. Prices have
run away up, and in fact it i<
hard lo get a man to price his
properly now; he is s» alraid he
i won't price it high enough, and it
w ill lie gobbled up before he can
say “Jack Robinson.”
I was fortunate in being able to
buv tlie choicest lot in the place
several months ago before boom
prices set in, and am congratulat
ing uivseif or being aide lo live in
the centre of the town, on a good
eminence, with plenty of room,
and all at a very reasonable figure.
1 heard yesterday that another
company had purchased nim-iy
acres just below town, and would
litiild a rolling mill on it.
It is tlemght that a great nttm
her of enterprises will soon follow
these that are now assured. I do
not know why Caru-rsvillc should
not do as well as Birmingham or
Anniston. Birmingham ships ore
from this place all the time to
supply her furnaces. 1 am assur
ed by those whom I regard as
both capable and truthful nten
that the ores here are much more
abundant, and much better than
at these famous Alabama towns.
The difference lias been that
there organized and well directed
efforts were made to bring in oapi
tal—here there has been no union
of effort uutil within the last few
months.
And now that we are on a “boom”
some of vour "bloated bondhold
ers,” and burdened capitalists
might, find a good investment up
fieie for some of their surplus cash.
We have hail quite a "boom” in
another direction of late—a pro
hibition boom. It came up iu
connection w ith Lite nomination ol
a candidate lor the Slate Senate.
This county is under a special lo
cal option law somewhat like that
of Randolph. The • wet" nten put
out their candidate, a vciy promt
nenl, and a wealthy man. making
uu issue of putting tlie county uu
del* the yencral local option law,
and so voting on it etery two
years. Some of us were quite un
easy lor we did not know how
things were going. You may be
sure that the “dry” folks were
happy when they found the “wet’
candidate was beaten bv nearly
2i to 1. '
‘Prohibition has been* a grand
success here, and the fcv'iug in
its favor seems to be on tlie in
crease. Only a lew years ago
this county was carried for prohi
bit ion by a majority of only 2.
And the absence of bar rooms
has not “hurt trade*either. Not
withstanding there was no boom,
and mine iu sight, the population
of the town has increased over
700 in two years.
It always seemed strange to me
that a man in his right mind
could think that the bar room
business helped the trade of the
town. The only trade it helps is
the bar room trade, aud every dol
lar the bar room gets isjusl that
much taken from the regular mer
chants that sell sugar and coffee,
and provisions and clothes. It
often happens that the trade of a
town is hurl from various causes.
Sometimes a new railroad, build
ing up new towns along its route
takes away traile Sometimes a
town 25 to 30 miles off is a rail
road competing point, and because
cotton can be carried cheaper from
that point, that town call afford
lo pay a higher price for cotton
and the first town suffers in her
trade.
People are always going -where
they can get the most tor wital
they have to sell, prohibition or
no prohibition. And yet I have
heard men declare that prnhihi
lion was ruining the trade ofoa
town, when a town not mure than
25 miles tiff was paying $2 50
more per bale for cotton. In this
war Rome has had the advantage
»f iur town, but we have managed
to build tip on our minerals, in
spile of the disadvantages we were
at as to cotton.
Somehow I always noticed that
prohibition did not hurl "Shell
man,” in your owu county. If

The Chautauqua Muddle.
Camilla Clarion.
Bishop Henry YV. Gradv, ol the
Atlanta Constitution, is running
the Salt Springs Chautauqua, a
of university pro tem. As »ne
of the literary and scientific lec
Hirers, Mr. Speaker Carlisle was
invited to deliver an address on
the taxing power of the govern
ment. lie accepted the invitation
So fai, so good- A lrcmcudou>
crowd was about to rush to Sail
Springs Imm Georgia and neigh
boring Stales lo hear the great
statesman and Henry was happy
over the financial prospects.
But Henry lias zeal iu nnoihei
direction. In fact he is a diversi
tied man and edits a diversified
newspaper and diversifies hi instil
all over creation.
‘•>*owr.” says llenrv, “we’ve got
Carlisle and it's a big thing ioi
tlie Chautauqua, lint plague take
hiui. lie's a democrat. and while
his lecture will l»c non partisan, it
will play thunder with khe Consti

will enthuse the already unified
democracy of Georgia on the doc
trine that tlie government has u«»
right to tax wind, clothing ami
cotton tics and have the lax paid
to the mamifactuier lo make him
rich; ami if any tiling is to be tax
ed it ought to be whisky first.
That will suit the people of Geor
gia. but it will play the very wild
with the Atlanta Constitution
Now the Constitution will get any
thing but a lift from Carlisle
But we ll fix things. There is .a
hig man up there on theConstiin
lion's side. YVe’ll gel Republican
McKinley, of Ohio, to reply t«.
Carlisle. He will balance things
somewhat and as the Constitution
is u» keep in with Buck Bullock
and all parlies, wr’U invite hiui.
it will be a *jinning card. It is
true (Ja^iUle was m*t notified to
comedown here and engage in a
controversy with McKinley, bui
we have got him fixed now wheie
he can't back out and we’ll liave^-
sens ation and some fun. and make
lots of money? ami the Coustilu
lion, the all absorbing interest of
Georgia, will not come out at iht
bottom.”
. 4 Carlisle's address will no more
endorse the Constitution than did
the Georgia weekly pi ess. But
: the Constitution lias got to be en
dorsed by somebody. Iu polities
she has got herself in a bad fix
and needs endorsement. The
Weekly Press over at Gainesville
wouldn't endorse worth a cent.
McKinley will endorse her and
Carlisle won’t be invited back
here to answer him. C UI * protec
tive tariff man will have the last
lick. Ha, ft a, ha! Cai lisle thought
he was coming to deliver a liter
ary address, hut we played an At
laula trick on him and got him
into a controversy without notice.
He is pledged to come and he
can’t wiggle. Tlie Constitution,
the Augusta Chronicle and the
Macon News will wiggle, however.
We'll throw dust into the eyes of
the people again. They are dem
ocrats and would think it strange
for a man calling hi in sell a demo
crat to be inviting republicans to
Georgia to break down the effect
of Carlisle’s visit. But, by jingo,
this is Chautauqua, you know.
To head tiff Cleveland's visit to
tlie Piedmont we had Sam Randall
to come down bcfoiehand with hi?
jnoteelive tariff. Ami didn't we
Constitution fellows chuckle at
our trick? Randall is sick and
can’t come now. Besides he’s too
good a democrat Lo be antagoniz
ing his party in the midst of a
picsidvnlial campaign. No other
democrat will. McKinley is our
man.”
Mr. Cailisie saw the trick. lie
refused lo come under the eirciim
stances aud he did right. He is
an honest man and a gentleman.
When he 19 invited lo deliver an
address, he will do it. When hi
ts invited under false colors to be
enLrapi>cd into slump speaking
and political controversy at a
Chautauqua, he modestly* and del
icately declines. He is not afraid
of McKinley, Blaine. Henry Grit
dy nor the devil himself uu the
tariff question, but he lias self-re
speck aud knows how to exercise
it. Hurrah for Carlisle!
Now, Henry, all that clap trap
about Senator Colquitt and Rep
resentative Stewart refusing to ex i
tend the invitation to McKinley is j
too thin. If he had been invited
to deliver a literary address
doubtless they would have been
glad to invite any literary man,
lepublijau or democrat. But here
was .t semi political combination
formed by Buck anil Grady, and
if they wauled republican speakers
lo slump Georgia, even in the
name of Chautauqua, let republi
cans do republican work. Speech
is free at the South, but Colquitt
and Suiwart arc not the men to
work up a boom for the protective
tariff men. Colquitt ami Stewart
are democrats
The 2d neon News raised ils old
howl against Colquitt, of emuse,
for refusing to invite McKinley.
It is not certain that lie did. K
he did, he did right. Democrats
are loo busy woikiug for Cleve
land and tariff reform now, to take
a hand iu Henry Grady’s foolish
ness of prostituting his Chautau
qua into a political arena. Ucn-

Miss Flossie Watts, of Cutlibert,
spent last week with Miss Ucrrnide
ticorge. Some of our Is*ys think it is
not near so far’to town as it used to
be, and they are wearing a broad
smile because she promised to come
again.
Miss Jennie Pearce spent several
days recently with Miss Ne ttie Billion.
Miss Jennie made quite a number of
friends while here.
Miss Florence Stanford is out this
week. She is stopping with Miss
Nannie Thornton.
Misses Lora Page and Nettie Bridg
man ofyheliinan, were visiting friends
in the community last week. They
left for home on .Sunday afternoon,
leaving a lot ot griel-strickeu buys
behind.
Troubles never come singly. A few
days ago, Mr. Charlie Ward had bis
cart completely demolished, and a few
days later we are told his buggy was
lorn up, also. All clue to the caprice
of the. Texas pony.
Another serious accident occurred
one day last week, to a mule, belong
ing to Mr. Lawrence Wamble. While
Wille Wamble and Blonnie Am
mons, on their way to town, were
‘descendinga hill the holding l»ack
strap broke, and the mule became
frightened and run, tearing up one of
tiie wheels. The mule, then began
kicking, and iu his struggles struck
the fifth wheel cutting tlie leader of
his leg very nearly in two. YVe hope
it will ultimately recover, but the
prospect, at present is very gloomy.
Pi of. A. J>. Harris has been visling
among friends and relatives during
the past week.
B. P. Crenshaw, the county agent
of the Farmers’ Alliance, is to visit us
Friday, in the interest of the above
mentioned order.
From the accounts received we pre
sume that tbe rain fall last Monday,
was the heaviest of the season.
Miss C’oonie Allen, of Jeriiigan, Al
abama, is visiting her sister, Mrs.
Henry Knighton. Miss Coonio has
many friends among our people.
