VOL. III. THE LATEST OUTRAGE which the people of the South are resenting, is the efforts of some to sell them imitations for the real Simmons Liver Regu¬ lator, because they make more money by the imitation •, and they care little that they swindle the people article. in selling It’s the them an inferior monty. they are after, and the people can look out for themselves. Now this is just what the people are doing, and merchants are having a hard time trying to gft pe' pie to take the stuff they offer them in place of Simmons Liver Reg¬ ulator—which is the “King of Liver Medicines,” because it never fails to give relief in all liver troubles.

Mr. McKinley almost shed tears at a banquet at Hartford the other day because the American people are “failing to appreciate his own institutions.” Blit Mr. McKinley is at fault in the use of bis pronouns. What he fears is that there is a failure to appreciate his institution, and for this fear the American peo¬ ple have given him abundant cause. Under the new tariff, which i6 by no means a model one, we have free wool, and already the British papers are bewailing the fact that the English markets are ed with Amercian-made woolens at prices with which the foreign man ufacturers find it difficult to com¬ pete. While this is true, the price of domestic wool is not appreciable lower than when the new law went into effect. Lumber was put on the free list, but the price of the pro¬ duct of domestic mills is not sacri¬ ficed as yet, and is not likely to be. Free hides gave the United States the command of the boot and shoe market of the world, but the Amer¬ ican farmer has not yet been com¬ pelled to give away his hides, nor has he suffered in consequence of American dominence in the leather markets of the world. The people are not losiug their appreciation of our institutions, the corner stone of which is the liberty of the people. In opposition to this are the trade restrictions which Mr. McKinley is trying to perpetuate until they shall become an “insti tution.” Bemoaning the fact that our own people are “too strongly prepos¬ sessed in favor of other political systems,” Mr. McKinley is trying to fasten upon us “other political systems” that have been discarded by the greatest commercial nation of the world and have their strong¬ est hold in Russia, Italy r and other nations still lagging far behind in the spirit, inventive genius capacity for labor that are typical of the American people. .

We hope after this statement, Brother Fowler will quit pouting, wipe his eyes, wash his face, and be a good boy.” J^he above is from the Gainsville Cracker, and it gives us great plea¬ sure to reprint it here, as the Cracker says it has not nor ever will groom a candidate, against our distinguished fellow-citizen, Col. J. W. Robertson for congress. Shake, Cracker, all is well, and with your kindly interest, as well as other good, staunch, democratic papers of the ninth, we will make it mere child’s play for Col Robert son to receive the nomination when the convention is called next year to nominate a successor to Carter Tate. Best Equipped The Constitution a few days ago said: “The gossippers about ninth district political possibilities will have to eliminate from the list of congressional candidates the of Col. Bill Simmons of Gwinnett, 60 he says. . “I love the game of politics,” said the colonel, who was at the Kimball, “but I am a candidate for no office. I have no desire to go to congress and no intention what¬ ever of going into the race, What the other fellows will do I cannot, of course say. There is talk of op¬ position to Carter Tate, but he is a strong man with the people, looks after their interests closely, and would be a hard man for anybody to beat. If I were asked to name the man in the ninth best equipped for congress I would say Col. Jas. W. Roberson of Habersham, He is not of course a candidate; in fact I doubt if he has ever thought of congress.” Colonel Robertson is the man who will represent the 9th district after Carter Tate’s term expires. Col. Robertson i6 making no can¬ vass now, but when the time comes, he will likely announce himself. In the meantime keep your eye on your Uncle Jim Rob¬ ertson. In article headed “Put on notice” on the editorial page, occurs the sentence, “foreman worthy of his steel.” It should be “foeman worthy of his steel.” Eastanollee.
