B. BV'KK. BnsIneM Mnnnfirr. War Prices Again. The fact should be kept before tbs people that the McKinley bill pro poses to raise the prices of many ne cessary articles to the old war time figures. What sense is there in raising the price of flint-glass tumblers from seventy five cents per dozen to 81.15? Why should China dinner sets now selling at from 88 to $100 be sold at from 811 to 8135 ? If this oppiessivc bill becomes a law every citizen will feel the hand of his paternal government deeper in his pocket than he ever felt it be fore. If we are to live under it we must get ready for another era of war prices, and prepare to pay more than we have paid in twenty-five years for blankets, flannels, trousers, over coats, stockings, dress goods, carpets, dishes, glassware, lime, cement, hard ware, mats, tin cans, paints, fertili zers, etc. Under the McKinley bill, the poor man who is trying to build a little home will And that some of his build ing materials will cost outrageous prices. He will find, too, that the clothes, bedding and common kitchen utensils absolutely needed by himself and wife will cost fancy prices. It is well to bear these points in mind, and to make a note of the fact that this tremendous increase is inten ded to benefit a few monopolists, a few score factory lords. Will the people foot the bill? Deserting the Republicans. All signs point to the fact that many former republicans will vote the democratic ticket at the next elec tion. The Telegraph, says : Major Thompson, master of the Illinois state grange, lias changed his politics. Eor years past lie was a prominent and active republican, but a few days ago lie announced that lie would henceforth co-operate with the democrats. The McKinley bill converted him. It convinced him that the Republican party cannot be trusted to legislate fairly for the masses of the people. Thousands of farmers in the West who have never voted anything but the republican ticket have reached the same conclu sion. When the republican leaders blow their lim ns next November they will be surprised to find how many of their old-time followers arc now on the side of honest taxation. Cranks in Congress. A good many samples of cranky legislation arc cropping out now-a days iu congress. Senator I’lumb intro duced two bills into the Senate the other day that are entitled to a place among the curiosities. One of them authorizes the President to issue a call to all citizens of the republic over 21 years of age, inviting them to serve iu the grand army of labor for not less than one day. No one is to work more than four hours a day, nor wore than five days in a week, nor more than six weeks without a rest of two weeks, and eacli one is to receive 8-1 a day, the money to lie paid out of the treasury. The other bill directs the President to establish a public farm iu each county in every state in this union, and to operate it at cost. It is hardly probable that Senator Plumb indorses these bills.—News Hold Up! The Tiuics-Union, Jacksonville, timely says: ‘•The rule of the republican caucus nnd Speaker Reed is n bold approach to despotism. Party is exalted above country and legislation made subservient to party purposes. Like the rule of Robespierre, Danton and Marat during the reign of terror in Paris, it is a great public calamity, but the conspirators can maintain power only for a short time. Even tliOfC who placed them in power are protesting.” * The republic is drifting from its moorings, and the sooner the ship is “put about" the better. Theunscru puloiis and bold efforts of Quay, Reed A Co., to perpetuate the rotten repub liean party in power, ought to arouse tiie whole country tithe danger of the situation. They Should Repent. Tilings are in a had way out in re publican ‘bleeding” Kansas. The Telegraph commenting on the situa tion there, says: A small country paper published in Kansas lias twenty-six columns filled with notices of foreclosures of mortgages. We infer from this that though the Kansas farmers managed to keep from freezing to death during the winter by burning their corn, they will lose their lauds. Kansas corn is a good fuel, but it does not help much in lifting a mortgage. Yet these Kansas farmers continue to be good republicans, voting every time to tax themselves for the benefit of far rich er people—the holders of the mort gages, in fact. Flopping. Here is the way the political cat is jumping out in Indiana : Harrison took his United States marshal from Franklin, and that town elects a democratic ticket the first time in twenty years. The dis trict attorney was taken from Vin- cinues, and that town has changed from republican to democratic by an overwhelming majority. Over at Wabash the administration picked up Warren G. Sayre and put him on the Cherokee Indian Commission. The republicans returned the kindness by letting the democrats elect their ticket for the first time in the histery of the city. Madison furnished the collector of customs, and the democrats were victorious there. Another State Stolen. The report of the House election committee in the contested election of John N. McDuffie vs. Louis W, Turpin, from the Fourth Alabama district, shows that Air. Turpin’s ma jority, as certified by the secretary of state of Alabama, was 13,153; but the committee, after weighing all the evidence in the case, has transformed this into a majority of 4,481 for Mr. McDuffie, the contestant. This is reversing a majority with a vengeance. This is the district where the republicans took the number of negroes reported at the last census, and counted them nil for their man. They probably counted the women nnd children. Dick Grubb, of the Darien Gazette, gets ofl the following; ‘Stranger in Georgia—Do you call this a town ? When there’s not a lieuse to be seen anywhere! New In habitant—I know it; hut lhar’s a building and loan association agent over thur in that tent, fifteen candi dates for mayor down yonder iu the bushes, a railroad cornin' this way at the rate of a mile a mouth, an’ the editor of a weekly newspaper expected in on the first train. W hat do you want, anyhow ?” Editor Halstead claims to have made the discovery that the democrat ic party in Georgia is on the verge of disruption. We call editor Halstead’s attention—iu advauce—to the re turns from Georgia in November, 18U2. They will prize open his optics on this subject. The Peach Crop. The correspondent of the Macon Telegraph says: Your correspondent had a talk with Col. Feltor, of Mnrshallviile, in the cars on his return trip Saturday, and was sorry to hear him say that the Itumphs, the famous fruit grow ers, declare that the ppacli crop the present season will be almost an abso lute failure. Moreover from 50 to 70 per cent, of the old trees have been killed outright. The young orchnrds tared better, but there will bea dearth this year of peaches, apples and pears. The Senate passed 185 pension bills in ninety minutes Saturday, devoting less than thirty seconds to each bill. Comment on this would appear to be superfluous. Is there not some man, in one of the parties in Wash ington, strong and brave enough to drive back this mad wave of indis criminate pensioning ? B. D. FUDGE, TIIOMASVILLK, GA., — DEALER in HARDWARE Stoves, Iron, EEEF-r-EOOL! s ss A HOBJ9B WHO CAN TALK! Mizell’s “true and tried republi cans” are coming to the front iu Florida. We don’t know how true they are, but we’ll swear they ought to be tried—tried and found guilty for their many flagrant violations of Jaw and morals. The Brunswick Times intimates that Livingston will oppose Gov. (Jordon for the Senate. Col. L started out to oppose Northcn for governor. And we believe he is still engaged in that work. We would advise the Col. to ti'cklc some one else than John B. Gordon, if he wants an office. Everybody ban hoard of a •* horao laugh," lut who has ever sewn an equine gifted with ‘ power of speech ?
