Shameful.
There are cmc confederate bo’diers
in the Fulton county poor house.
And the Fulton county poor house is
not an exception. Many other poor
houses in Georgia, gjc giving scant
shelter to the men who from '61 to '65
braved death in defense of Georgia
and the South. Now, crippled, brok
en down, grown gray, they are turned
into the poor houses of the state, where :
their few remaining days will be drag
ged out. It is shameful. .The crime
is greater when it is remembered that
the patriotic people ol Georgia a hw
yean ago, raised a large sum oi money
and built a splendid home fer con*
federate soldiers, near Atlanta. The
property, including the valuable real
estate, is probably worth one hundred
thousand dollars or more. And it is
increasing in value. This home, ten>
dered free to the slate, with clear
titles, has been refused by the legisi
lature. In a few > cars it will not be'
needed for .» home for these
old soldiers are rapidly passing
away. Then the state would be in
posession of a most valuable' property.
But aside from this selfish view of it,
the State should accept the home and
take care ot the men who lost all, save
honor and life, during their declining
years. It is a sacred debt which
Georgia honestly owes to these men
and we hope that the next legislature
will remove -this blot from the'fair
name of the State.
In a recent article in the Atlanta
Herald, speaking of the inmates of
the Fulton county poor house, that
paper says:
“The majority of those who feel
..-their -surrouudingo are old soldiers,

“We denounce the Republican
legislation known as the Sherman act
of 1890 as a cowardly makeshift,
fraught with possibilities of danger in
the future, which should make all of
its supporters, including its author,
anxious Tor its speedy repeal/ We
hold to the use of both gold and silver
the standard money of the country,
and'to tiie coinage of both gold and
silver, without discrimination ■against
either metal or charge for mintage;
bat the dollar unit of coinage of both
metals must be of equal intrinsio and
exchangeable value, or be adjusted
through safeguards of legislation as
shall insure tbe maintenance, of the
parity of the two metals, and .the
equal power of every dollar at all
times in tbe markets and io payment
of debts; and we demand that all
paper, currency shall be kept at par
with, and redeemable io, coin. We
insist upon this policy as especially
necessary for the protection* of the
farm era and laboring people, tbe first
and most defenceless victims of un
stable money and a fluctuating cur
rency.”
The democracy of the country will
stand by this platform. The advo
cates of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, many of them, lose
sight of the lact that the platform
sets forth, os a condition to free coin
age, that the silver dol-ar shall be
intrinsically worth as much as any
ojher dollar, worth as much as a gold
dollar. With this parity between the
two meta's established, and preserved,
there can be no objections to free
coinage of silver. The people will
never be satisfied with any currency
the purchasing capacity ol which is
below, that of any other currency.
They want, and need, a triple currency,
so to speak, consisting of gold, silver
and paper, but these dollars must be
equal in value. If congress will solve
the problem on this basiif it will have
earned and deserved the plaudits of
the country from the granite hills of
New England to the golden shores of
the Pacific.

The proposition ot John Temple
Graves to colonize the negroes in one
state ,as a solution of the race question,
is being quite generally discussed.
Here is the cream of the plan as out
lined by Mr. Graves:
“Let the government act aside, ojjt
of its vast public domain, a large ter
ritory for a sovereign state, to be offi
cered and control ?d exclusively by the
negroes, and no whites have the right
to vote therein, the government to
maintain troops to preserve order.
The only price the negro need pay for
this privilige would be his right to vote
in any other state. He pronounced
the present p’aa a failure, and the
ballot in the hands ot the negro under
present conditions an emasculated
mockery. He said that the negro
could not compete with the white,
but in competition with his kind his
greatest development would be attain*
ed.
“JBut it is a problem of safety,” said
he, “of domestic tranquility, of nation
al unity—the greatest problem taring
the people of this transcendent age.
The edict has gone forth that this is a
white man’s government and will re
main so forever, for God Almighty

PROCLAMATION TO ABSENTEES.
Mayor Chipley issued the following
to absentees
Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 18.1893.—
With a full appreciation of the re
sponsibility I assume, I unhesitatingly
say to our absent citizens that they
can return to this, their homes, with
absolute security.
W. D. CmrLEY, Mayor.
The fact that France pays out gold
and silver on equal terms is frequently
used os an argument for the unlimit
ed and free coinage of silver in this
country. France maintains the
parity between the metals by refusing
to coin any more silver. Many poli
ticians overlook this important fact.
Referring to this the Philadelphia
Record, one oi the best posted papers
in the country, says: “A bimetallic
country is one that authorizes the free
coinage of gold and silver as full legal
tenders at a given ratio. Now France,
in order to maintain the circu’ation of
a large volume of silver at a parity
with gold, stopped free silver coinage
twenty years ago. France and the
other solvent nations of the Latin
Union saw that without the stoppage
of free silver coinage their current^
system wou'd fall to a monometallism
of depreciated silver. Under not
materially different conditions con
gress is asked to adopt the French
policy. There is no doubt that this
country could also maintain all its
existing metallic and paper currency
at a level with gold if congress should
coin no more silver dollais and buy
no more silver bullion upon issues of
Treasury certificates payable in -gold.
Here’s some sensible and. practical
thoughts on the financial problem
taken from the Atlanta Herald: “The
idea that the U nited States can dictate
the world’s financial policy ij bosh.
We have a great’country but we can
not successfully set up as dictators to
the rest of the world. The effort to
do so is like that of the load that un
dertook to swell herself to the size of
the ox. There is but one safe cur
rency and that is a currency of gold
and silver, of equal intrinsic and in
terchangeable value, made so by wise
legislation,‘ahd with a paper currency
convertible into coin cn demand.
And we believe Grover Cleveland
knows more about how to provide
such a currency than any over man
in America.”
The elections -passed, off quietly
in France oa Sunday. ,
The Pittsburg Post notes “that
while the New England cotton milla
are closing down indefinitely there
has been no suspension by the South
ern mill?, and that on the other hand
they are building new mills in the
South and increasing the capacity of
those in operation by improved ma
chinery. The South has peculiar ad
vantages for cotton manufacturing io
cheap labor, nearness to the raw ma
terial, and a home market for a line
of goods adapted to the colored peo
ple of that section. The Southern
mills are all paying good dividends
and have all the orders they can fill
When the pinch comes they can un
deraril the New England mills and
still make money.”
Referring to the purchase of silver
under the Sherman act, the Houston
Poet says: /‘Nobody needs a market
just now more than the farmers do
for their cotton, wheat a id other pro
ducts. They need it as bad as do the
silver producers. Suppose our Texas
congressmen propose a “substitute”
for the Sherman act providing that
the government shall purchase 1.000,-
000 bales of cotton every month ?
The silver producers have had the
benefit of that sort of law for three
years, now let the farmers have a turn
at It. The silver iuterest is a small
affair by comparison with the cotton
interest.
The business of the country is done
90 per cent, on credit and 10 per cent,
with cash. When credit is seriously
impaired, business necessarily to
large extent, stops. But 90 per cent,
of the boaihess of the country cannot
stop ; and the effort to keep going
makes a greatly increased demand, for
cash* and makes money “tight.”
Money would be tight in this country
today if we had twice as much of it
as we have got. It is not more mnney
wewrant, but more credit; and the
only way to get more credit is 'to re
store confidence.—Washington Post.

& Co.’s weekly review of irade will say:.

in the sterling honesty y and integrity

riR yeulyto a number of questions on
' for wheat vrogive a gonoral
itiqn of
of par-
amoriht Consideration. First, the ne
cessities of the {plants. Second, tho
constituents of the soil. The first is
" ascertain by chemical analysis
|^jond will require the exercise
oftfii best judgment of the farmer
upon the previous treatment the
land ha£ received and the results ob
tained. Catoful experiments would
give a correct idea of the character of
fertilizer demanded and reasonable de
ductions can be .made from tbe ordina
ry course of crops and fertilizers.
IU the last issue a table was given
showing the proportions of phosphoric
acid and potash in wheat' and adding
nitrogen to this would show exactly
what the plant demanded, and theoret
ically what fortizor to use. In practi
cal apiculture, however, a different
phase' is presented, the farmer for
his basis of operation has land already
supplied in various proportions with
pian$ food and for this reason emperical
rules cs to fertilizing are impossible and
only general deductions cau be made.
As indicated theso general deductions
must depend on the general character
of the s6il and Its previous treatlnent as
to both crops and manures.
When not exhausted much of Geor
gia soil is high in potash, being formed
from tho disintegration of feldspathio
and micacioua rock, but we are inclined
to the opinion that the general deduc
tion by reason of this has been too
largely followed and that much of our
land would bo benefitted and our crops
increased by an additional amount of
this element of plant food. In wheat
its principal function is in the forma
tion of straw to which it give strength
while growth is *promoted by tho nitro
gen. It also enters into the groin of
which phosphoric acid is the chief part.
Phosphoric acid as the principal com
ponent of the grain was recently strik
ingly illustrated by a magnificent speci
men of oatswith the exception of the head
sent the department. The straw was
large and tho yield would bavo boon
unusual had the head shown a proper
development. The inquirer as • to the
cause of the deficiency, informed us
that the land had received a liberal sup
ply of manuro from cows fed on cotton
6eed meal. This supplied an abun
dance of uitrogen to promote growth,
while the heads failing to fill out evi
denced the fact that phosphoric acid
was wanting. In regard to nitrogen
it should bo remembered that it is the
most costly ot plant foods when pur
chased whilo the farpwr has a cheap
method oi supplying it and at the game
tirno placing iq tho soil the humus nec
essary to Us fertility. In tho case of
Wheat and other cerinls it Is especially
easy to obtain this supply at a small
cost. We allude to the pea crop or oth-
legTuninwy pbffifo which have the
pyWei of kJ&ftfhjiatyjg free nitrogen.

1888-89 at the North Carolina experi
