FROM THE LONE STAR STATE. Waco, Tex., June 12, 1900. Eds. Standakd:—Here I am hack in Texas again, after a most pleasant visit to my native state of Georgia. I have been in Texas twenty-five years, and yet I nm not weaned from the grand old state of Georgia yet. I love her moun tains, her hills and beautiful valleys, and the pnre mountain air that gives renewed vigor to those who are so for tunate as to enjoy it. The cool, re freshing wafer that runs ont from every mountain and hill causes me many and many a time to wish I was there to get a sip now and then. The good old- time friends of mine whom I love, aDd whose friendship is so mnch appreciated by me, are.ever in my heart, and the dear relatives who are so near and dear to me occupy a warm place in my heart. It seems every time I go to Georgia I DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM ADOPTED BY THE STATE CON VENTION LAST THURSDAY. Good Democratic Doctrine Outlined by a Harmonious Convention. 1. The Democracy of Georgiain con vention assembled indorse our State ad ministration and commend onr Chief Executive, and each of onr state of ficials, for their wise, patriotic and eco nomical administration of the state’s affairs. Their unanimous nomination and their certain re-election will be but a justly deserved tribute to their fidelity and integrity. 2. We congratulate the people of Georgia on the present system of pub lic schools, inaugurated and brought to its presert state by the Democratic party, and we pledge the best efforts of love her better, and I leave more re- i the party to a continuance of the same. Inctantly. My recent visit was one that 1 never will forget. Meeting my rela tives who were so kind to me, and meet ing such good old time friends and chums of many years ago as Dr. L. S. Ledbettei, Thad Bnrbank, Jnd Crabh, Jce Dodds, Jim Dodds and various others too numerous to mention, brought the past to the present, and I seemed to live in a new Bphere. Our friendly intercourse together was full of pleasure to me, and made me feel twenty years yonnger. Time has dealt kindly with my old friends, but yet you can see the silvery hairs intermingling with the others on their heads, bnt the jovial nature of all was still lingering with them all. Thad Burbank’s modest laugh still remains; Jnd Crabb’s ex treme modesty unfortunately bangs to him, and “Dock” Ledbetter still en joys a joke at the expense of a friend, even if he is from Texas. Grand old Cedartown, the beautiful little city nestling among the moun tains, is the same lovely place. Pros perity has cast its bountiful hand oyer her, and planted cotton factories in her domains, whose spindles make melody and add so much to the prosperity of her people. Long may she enjoy this deserved prosperity, and may time con tinue to bring it to her until she will have to double her limits. HON. W. C. BUNN, Who was Unanimously Elected as a Delegate from the 7th District to the Democratic National Convention. 3.- We favor an amendment to the constitution of Georgia limiting the power of the General Assembly to levy and assess taxes, for any purpose what soever,exceeding a specified percentum, When 3 returned to Texas, I was j except for the purpose of suppressing asked many times, “How are crops in | insurrection, repelling invasion and de- Never Again 10. Public taxation shonld not be imposed for private purpose; we there fore adhere to the doctrine of n tariff for rovenne only. 11. We are convinced that the pro tective tariff system is the hot-bed that has produced these vast numbers of trusts and combinations,and we demand that they be suppressed by the repeal of the protective tariff and other privilege- conferring legislation responsible for them. 12. The power of the national <!on- ress to regulate interstate and for eign commerce,!! honestly exercised by the enactment of laws for the suppres sion of trusts and the faithful and ef ficient execution of such laws, together with the active enforcement of such laws as the states may enact against such unlawful combinations and trusts in their own borders, will put an end to the danger from the growth of these great combinations and trusts 13.

Mrs. Ruff, who has been attending the revival meeting at Cedartown, re turned a few days since from that place and reports a most glorious meeting.—Carrollton Times. Last fall I sprained my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doc tor I called on said at first it was a slight strain and would soon be well, bnt it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Cham berlain’s Pain Balm.

I do not see any less people there now than when I left, bnt in fact more, and they look slick,fat and jolly. The only objection I had to my trip was its brevity. The Cedabtowx Standard shonld be patronized liberally in the way of sub scriptions and advertisement. The peo ple of Cedartown and Polk Co. have one of the best weekly papers that I know of. There is none in Texas that excels it. Its editorial and mechancial make-up is superior, and the general and local news it gives is like a sweet letter from home. I have been subscribing for it since' it started, and expect to keep it np until I rass over the river. May it ever enjoy and get all the prosperity it so justly deserves. Texas is harvesting one of the biggest gTain crops in its history. Never was snch a crop made. Wheat is averaging twenty and twenty-three bushels to the acre; oats and corn fine; fruit crop abundant; cotton has had so mnch rain that it is not doing so well, yet if the weather will keep dry for a while so that farmers can get rid of grass and weeds, there will be plenty of it made. The farmers are prospering this year and have plenty of money. If we only Itad a big mountain here and there to relieve the monotony of the endless prairies, the country wonld look more picturesque, bnt it looks beautiful now. May is the best time in the year to see Texas. Texas is full of Georgians, hut they are not all ont here,as Iaseertained on my last visit to Georgia. Tell the Georgia delegates' to the Democratic National Convention that meets in Kan sas City that they had better carry plenty of money, or have an under standing with their bankers at home to get money,for the hotels in Kansas City have made their rates §4 per day; wa ter will be 50 cents a drink, shoe shines 25 cents, shaves 50 cents, 50 cents to ad dress hotel clerk, and $1 to speak to proprietors.

We favor an amendment to the Federal constitution providing for the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people. C. We are in favor of the immediate constrnction and control of the Nicara guan canal by the United States. 7. We re-affirm and renew onr belief in and allegiance to the principles "of Democracy as contained and enumer ated in the national Democratic plat form of 1890. and we denounco the republican legislation in Congress whereby the single gold standard has been fastened upon the people—for the time being, we hope, and the control of the currency has been turned over to the national banks, whereby the great est and most oppressive of all trusts— the money trust—has been created to feed-npon the labor and industries of the people, and to add to the wealth and power of a favored class, whose greed is insatiable. 8. The collection of war taxes _ in time of peace should be discontinued, and we demand the repeal of the war revenue tax act.. 9. We view with alarm tho multipli cation of those combinations of capi tal, commonly known as trusts, that arc concentrating and monopolizing the industries of the country, crushing ort the independent producers of limited means, destroying, restraining the op portunities for labor,artificially limiting production and raising prices, and we emphatically declare onr opposition to all snch unlawful combinations, and de mand the enactment of snch laws, both state and national, as will aid in the destruction of these great combinations and trusts. The difference of cost between a good and a poor baking powder would not amount for a family’s supply to one* dollar a year. The poor powder would cost many times this in doctors’ bills. Royal Baking Powder may cost a little more per can, but it insures perfect, wholesome food. In fact, it is more economical in the end, because it goes further in leavening and never spoils the food. Royal Baking Powder used always in making the biscuit and cake saves both health and money. You cannot, if you value good health, afford to use cheap, low-grade, alum baking pow ders. They are apt to spoil the food; they do endanger the health. All physicians will tell you that alum in food is poisonous.

We demand that the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues be repealed, so as to permit a system of local state banks, under such restrictions and by the deposits of such securities as will absolutely protect persons dealing with them. 18. The Democracy of Georgia fa vors the nomination of William Jen nings Bryan,of Nebraska,for President of the United States, and the delegates of tliis state are herebj’ instructed to unite with the Democracy of the other states of the Union in making uch nomination. 19. Confident is the correctness of these principles and policies, we cor dially invite all voters, irrespective of past party affiliations, to join with us in our effort to give relief to the peo ple. ditions, can never be assimilated with ourselves or educated up to our stand ard of citizenship; and who can never be safely incorporated into an equal participation with ourselves in our free system of government. We,there fore, hold that the imperialistic policy of the.present republican administra tion, which contemplates schemes of conquest in accordance with British theories and practices, is contrary to the theory of our government, and subversive to those great principles of civil liberty which we. have been taught to cherish and which are neces sary to the preservation of our free institutions. We oppose the inaip- tenance of large standing armies, necessary for the subjugation and con tinued domination of distant peoples, and which.is a standing menace to the personal liberties of our own people, impoverishes the people with vast pub lic expenditure, creates hordes of of ficials to rule over people who should be permitted to rule themselves, dis regards the declaration of indepen dence, and materially changes the nature of our republican form of gov ernment. 14 The action of the republican Congress in denying to the Porto Ricans the status of citizens of the United States, in passing a law impos ing tariff taxes upon the products of Porto Rico different from those im posed in the United States, and in the establishment of a government in that island, whereby its people are denied the right to govern their own local affairs and to select their own local representatives,demands the con demnation of all people who love self- government, and the demonstration of a purpose of the republican party, if given an additional lease of power, to convert this republic into an empire. 10 We favor all legitimate and prac tical means for the expansion of our trade and the developement of foreign markets for our products, manufactur ing and agricultural, but we deny that the acquisition and domination of lands in a distant hemisphere are necessary or conducive to this end. On the contrary, the present marvelous and rapid development and growth of our commerce both in Europe and Asia, where we own no territory, de monstrate t hat, our trade with foreign peoples will steadily and surely ex- pantl, develop and increase in propor tion as our products exceed in excel lence and cheapness similar products of other countries. And our trade upon t his secure basis can be best pro moted by the arts of peace and the happy influences of friendly relations, rather than through the harsh and hostile agencies of war. 10.
