STRONG LETTER.
McKinley'* Policy Would Lend to
I ul,»nd Dunivrou 8cr*n»bl® for i*ow«r.
Clarksville^ Ga., August 23,1888
To the Kditor of The Evaning Journal:
In his recent speech at Chautauqua,
Mr. McKinley outlines and defines his
position thus
'•How taxes are to be levied to sup
port the government, and by what meth
od can they be levied and collectea so as
to bear most lightly upon the people, and
at the same time promote rather than re
tard the national prosperity, is the scope
of the theme which 1 propose to discuss
before you to-day.
Strange to s.».y that he oiu.ts fro » -uis
statement the fundamental principle
taxation under a* 1 governments which are
limited in the:* power by iaw, viz: that
taxes must be 1 ivied according *o law
and that no illegal taxes shall be collec
ted.
The republican party, of which he is
an eminent and worthy apostle, have
never considered th«» question oftaxa
lion from the standpoint of the constitu-
viou. They are fond of a “higher law,*’
nd whenever it suits their purpose they
conjure up a law “higher” than the con
stitution. They bare done ibis in tki*
instance through their mouthpiece ai
Chautauqua. The desiJcratum is first
that the taxes shall '‘hear most lightly
upon the people;” second, that they shall
“promote rather than retard national
prosperity.” The unlawfulness of the
tax ia ignored. The question of authori
ty in the constitution gives him no con
cern. ilia attention is not attracted to
the consideration of the question wheth
er the tax is one wh ich congress has the
constitutional power to lev/.liisstatemcnt
is [plausible, but it is unsound to the core.
The constitution of the United States de
fines and lays down distinctly the pur
poses for whicn taxes may be levied by
congress, and nowhere io it is authority
given to levy them to protect any indust-
-Tv, ( , Y r :.. planted in America. The
this tax “bears ligoHS^-iJ^^TOethoT iif
is lawfully levied, The sugar-coating
preying upon one another by means of ex
actions, wrung from one class for the
benefit of another, and the victim in its
turn demanding reprisals from still other
classes, until the vicious circle is com
pleted and all classes have forced thetr
way into the protected ranks. When
this inevitable end is reached the mise
rable folly of this delusion some and
deception by othera, will .iot only be
seen by all, but its wretched conse
quences will be felt by all.
Respectfully,
Pont IUny.ow.
A rWASAXT LETTER FROM MR
SKIFF,
, Who, with a Charming Party, l« Roaming
I Among Artificial Scene* from Palestine—
A Great Summer Renort and' What i* to
be Seen and Done Tnere.
THE RAGGING PROBLEM.
The Fanner* Must I’*e Bagging or Caune
Financial Enharra«*uicnt.
The merchants throughout the coun
try are very much interested in the ac
tion of the farnrexa in regard to using
bagging.
Every one haf some abuse for the
bagging “trust,” but it is very generally
agreed that it is now too ’ate to find a
remedy, ar.d the best thing for the farm
ers to do is to go ahead and use bagging,
but make some arrangements to prevent
a repetition of this grinding process.
Happening in tbo large establishment
of J. 8. King & Co. Tuesday he re
marked: “Look here the farmer loses
nothing on his baj: ' g even though he
has to pay 15cts per pound. Take the
illustration of a r-jl! of bageing—50 yds
—at locts per yard costs $7.50—-a bun
dle of ties costs $1.40 making $8.90.
Now what does he get for it when mi*
on cotton?.. Say he gets bets for his cc'-
ton—it is soiling at 9 l 4 cts here today.
50 ~ards bagging weighs 100 pounds—2
pounds to the yard—at 9cts would ma*
$0 00. A bundle of ties weighs 52 lbs
at l»cts would sell for $4 08—total for $1
08—deducting the cost $8.90 you see the
farmer makes a clear gain of $4 78 on a
roll of bagging and bundle of ties.”
T he merchant.*., wholesale and re tail,both
are in hopes that the farmers will not
refuse to buy or delay buying, as they
havo sold them goods on credit, their
obligations are maturing and unless the
fanners pay their debts in cotton the
merchants will be closed out or have to
borrow money.
may make the pill palatable so thatth
pat>ent will swallow it without a grimace,
but the unwholesome ingredients are
there the same, and will nevertheless do
their harmful wont.
It seems to be McKinley’s idea that if
he can disguise the tax so that the citixen
will not frel it when he pays it, that
then it is a matter of no consequence for
what purpose it may have been levied.
He seems to be impressed with the belief
th \t an unconstitutional tax is cured of this
fatal defect if it is ingeniously contrived
to be 1< vied so as to “bear lightly” upon
the payer. This is, I respectfully sub
mil, unsound and d&r.g*. 'us doctrine
Ifcongress lias no authority to levy taxes
for the purpose he advocates, then it
|s unfawfully collected, no matter how
easily it may be paid. It matters not
how “highly it bears,” if it is illegal it is
wrong.
He finds plenty of authority for the
doctrine of protection by taxation in the
messages of presidents and in the utter
ances of others whom he quotes. These
are merely the opinions of men who were
respectable and respected in their day
and therefore entitled to consideration,
but th**y are not laws. Congress is
bound by Uw, not by opinions of James
Buchanan and Alexander Stephens. The
Constitution of the United States is the
guide, not the opinions of anybody. In
this constitution there is no authority
for this thing which Mr. McKinley and
the balance of the republican party want
to do. There inay be plenty of protec
tion in the messages and speeches he of the halo
quotes, but there if no protection in the ‘ packed cotton.

Cutting offlhiKCint:
A fanner came in Tuesday with 12
or 15 yards bagging on bis cotton and
the merchant who bought the cotton
knocked off four pounds for excess of
bagging. The following from the mer
chants of Athens will explain itself.
“Whereas, the custom now so general
among the planters aud ginners in the
territory trading with Athens of puttinj
up bales of cotton in from 9 to 12 yards
of bagging is peculia and unusual, and ha
proven most hurtful to our market, and
Whereas, this custom is not only
wise but is lrsing us the business we

The truth is, the republican party don’t
caro whether the taxis lawful or not.
If their he art is set upon a thing,
and attention is called to the fact that it
is au unconstitutional thing, they will
find a “higher law'” and go on. Even
a man like Mr. McKinley, who has shorn
that, to hinuelf, he is governed by better
rules will, in the party harness, shut his
eyes to the constitution and advocate a
scheme violative of it upon specious
grounds of expediency without even so
much as a reference to the fact that
there is a constitution which defines and
limits the powers of the genera* govern

It is said that “money makes the mare

here 1 could admire her for the sake of

no end t> traval in this part of the coun

a crowd follows. Some five or six othca
points on this lake where the steamers

are similar to the one above described,
only not so thickly populated, but fully
as pleasantly located. The lands along
the lake, after leaving the narrow-
channel are well cultivated,ns far back as
can be seen down to the water’s edge,
and at this season of the year, as 1 heard
a lady say, are “perfectly lovely." The
green fields of corn, pastures, orchard?,
well trimmed forests on the sloping
ground as it rises from the lake, surely
aic a handsome sight.
Two hours sail brought us to Chau
tauqua landing, forty cents fora ticket,
which passed us through the gale in the
midst of throngs of people upon the as
sembly grounds.
Almost the first thing that attracted
our attention was a model of Jerusalem
and its surrounding hills and valleys,
enclosed in a circle of about fifteen feet
in diameter, which is a very perfect iep
resentation of the place so said by those
that know and is very interesting as the
different places were pointed out by one
conversant with their locality and hi.s-
Froin here we wended our way to the
park of Palestine, climbed Mount Ilcr-
uon, looked down upon the city of Dan

Land. This place also is said io be a
tacsimile to the place which if is made
to represent.

customers in every town in Northeast

Our retail merchants ire receiving car
loads of goods ev^ry day, and the drays
a*e kept in a trot to prevent a freight
block at the depots. Cotton too is add
ing to the general impetus, as a number
of bales brought in every day. All
that is now lacking to make Athens her
usual self, as seen in the fall and win
ter, is the presence of many ladies, who
still linger at the various resorts. The
cool weather will soon induce their re?
turn, and we will be fully equipped for
a pleasant social season and a heavy fall

to Tilth the Operator and Subscriber.
Wonderful progress has been made in
the manner of transmitting messages
from one part of the city to another, and
even from city, to city in the past ten
years, and it is very difficult to imagine
what will be the advancement in the
next ten years. If twerty years ago you
had said to your neighbor that you
would be able to sit in your room and
talk with him fifty miles in ano her city
he would have unhesitatingly c. lied yon
an idiot or a fit subject for the lunatic
asylum. Yet one o.“ the largest enter
prises of the present da T is the operation
of the telephane system, and hy the way,
one of the most perplexing of the whole
cotegory of professions. For instance,the
many calls, ladies not excepted, demands
and threats of being reported to the
general manager, when, in reality, it is
oftener than otherwise not the fault of
the office operator, but the pej ;on wish
ing to use the telephone, not being posted
as to how to make his calls. Yet they
hello away, and, if they can’t both hear
and see the answer. & volume of threats
and a cloud oUfcuader is hurled at the
operator, which works him up to such a
pitch that his nerves arc all unstrung, so
all hands get mi of sorts. By following
these instruct ons much time and annoy
ance can be avoided: When you goto
the telephone you wili simply say 28 on

they went over into Madison county.

The excursionists gave a doleful account
of their ride from Tallulah Saturday
night. Soon after leaving the Falls rocks
commenced coming through the windows
of the train, but fortunately no one was
hurt until after passing Lula, and when
near Gillsfille, a rock struck Jim Whit
field’s son, but did not hurt him very
badly. One of the excursionists saw the
party throwing fc the rock and fired a pis
tol at tho rockers and thinks that he hit
one of them. This rocking business is
said to be very common and frequently
the train is rocked between Tallulah and
Athens. The authorities should put de
tectives along the line, and if the perpe
trators are captured should be dealt
with.

in his mind who mast suffer in order
thsl somebody else may bo benefitted.
According to his own statement th re
moat be a class who has to “bear” the
burden, and they are Americans, too. Of
course he does nut refer to those who
are protected, for the heavier the tax
tho greater tho benefit to them. It does
not “boar” on them at aU. It benefits
them. When he speaks, therefore, of
the tax “hearing lightly,” he admits that
there ii a class not provided for by his
schema, who are not protected and* who
hoar the harden.
To quiet them his ingenuity is taxed
more heavily than they are taxed by his
tariff scheme. To appetse them he de
clares, at one and the same time, it
“fean liahtly” upon them and also
protects them. How inconsistent !
Those upon whom it “bears” at all it
cannot protect; and those whom it pro
tects at all, it cannot “bear” upon. What
he really shows and unconsciously ad
mit* ia that it bears on one class in or-
derto protect another. It cannot do
both to the same.
Ilis proposition that articles produced
abroad and not at home should be free
and the duty levied only upon those
which compote with domestic products
in our markets in order that the national
prosperity may bo promoted, is plausi
ble, and if true would deserve attention.
But unfortunately it ia not true. The
benefits would be oonflnou to the com
paratively few producers of the compet
ing domestic product and the balance of
the people would have to “bear” it It
is idle to say that the man who boys a
protected article, and has to psy more,
it benefitted, hut it te at the expense of
his neighbor who boys from him.
With esteem for Mr. McKinley
personsUy,I nevertheless respectfully
submit that to follow his teachings can
but and at last in a universal and shame-
ful'scramble for legislation, under the
guise of taxation, which trill put money
in the pockets of th* promoter* without
regard to the fundamental law of the
land. If his views are accepted by the
people ol the United States, the rule »f
congressional conduct in levying taxes
will not bo the constitution they are
aworm to uphold, but th* salflab interest
of tho most inflnantial classes. No longer
wiU objection bo made on account of the
fact that th* constitution is violated,
hot the whole inquiry will be whether
n measure ia profitable to the originators
and “bear* lightly” enough upon the
poop]* to bo submitted to. The spirit
of legislation will bo to make the moat
money for tho protected clast ontof the
scheme of taxation that the country will
‘tnr." Th* aim will b* to find out
how moch will bo borne and go to that
point Whan there is oomplaint made
somewhere, a murmur begins to rise
from th* people upon whom it “bears.”
Th* oomplaint wiU be met and the
murmur quieted, not by showing that it
bo lot alone because it is a money mak-
store of W. H. Davis for a manufactory
of -‘Jones Standard Tinware,” which is

be second to none in the state. With

he will in nowise be disappointed in his

Energetic measures are being adopted
by the Mexican Land and Development
Co., for the carrying out of the great
enterprise to which vre alluded in a
recent issue in connection with the
Grant of Land it has acquired in the state
of Tamaulipas, Mexico. The hardest of
the surveying is already done, nml it is
estimated that in a year 4,800,000 acres
can be surveyed, of which the Company
will take l,Gi>0,<JUO acres.
The land had navigable rivers, and
harbors, and coal, and dense forests of
line timber, end petroleum, and precious
metals and ojhcr minerals; but suppose
it had nothi'ig at all except the bare
land, and suppose that i tdocs not bring
more than the $1,25 per acre, you might
figure what the profit will be on some
million acres. ^
We know what land is. •• We can see
it. It is always where wo can examine
it. The most successful companies for
some years havo been organized on land.
The whole world knows what a boom
there was in Southern California last
year, and the many fortunes that were
made. None of these begin to compare
with this enterprise in magnitude, nor in
its possibilities. It comprises not alone
millons of acres of land but the opening
for many industries.
See the Company’s advertisement else
where.
A City Directory.
Wo arc making arrangements to issue
a full directory of Atncns. We will
have a census taken of the city and the
directory \uW give a detailed account of
Athens both as to population and busi
ness. Heretofore directories of Athens
hare necessarily been brief and incom
plete owing to the fact that the streets
were not named and tlie Houses not
numbered. Thi:: has been done and a
Directory has become an essential.
In a few days an inspector of post-
offices will be in the city to look into the
matter of free delivery of mails. Letters
will then be sent and delivered according
to street and number. Every business
house and professional man in the city
will need a Directory io locate hit* cus-
tomers.client-? or patients. Several pages
in tho Directory will be devoted to a
brief but thoiough exposition of the
most striking features of Athens. We
propose issueing from 500 to 800 vol-
umns and tho Directory will be a fine
advertisement of the city aud a good
medium of advertisement for our busi-
h the Banneu- uhurch.

ATHENS,
The farmers tn Hairis county that arc.
members of the Grange and Farmers’
Alliance say they will not buy bagging
at the present price, i2.‘ j cents per yard.
They say they will wrap their cotton in
ducking or other goods—anything else
but bagging- Some of the farmers say
they will sell their cotton in the seed,
enough to pay their debts, and hold the
balance until bagging is cheaper. 'Ibe
grangers and members of the alliance
are trying to make some arrangement
with the bagging manufactories to get
bagging cheaper. The cotton crop in
Harris county is much better than :t has
been in several years, and withont somo
great disaster, the farmers will gather
a greater number of bales—more than
they hat* in seteral years. ^ FOR l-l YOUNG 1-lLADIES

There are a great many young men

Wife Whlpiwr.
A warrant was issued by Justice Ev
ans yesterday evening for Abe Lowe
charged by his wife, llatlie Lowe, with
the offence of wife whipping. Hattie
says that sho is the third wife of Abra
ham and that their married life so tar
had been all that happiness could desire,
but that in the last few days “too much
salter” had changed the whole nature of
her hitherto loving husband into a fero
cious creature, who was only satisfied
with his wife’s blood. Hattie exhibited
numbers of wounds to the J ustice,which
were dumb witnesses of the fact that
she had be«n “badly done up” by some
body. Ju ige Evans will decide Abra
ham^ fate today.
The Ball in Motion.
Every day we receive encouragement
from tke farmers of the surrounding
counties about making an exhibit at the
Northeast Georgia Fair. There will be
a large crowd here and if the farmers
want to show up their county to tho best
advantage ti e Fair is the place.
