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.

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. Jamestown, X. Aug. 2G.—Assem bly Grounds. We are aboard the steam er Cincinnati starting for an excursion up the lake of Chautauqua and are now gliding along upon the water through the narrow and winding channel that leads to the lake. The banks are coror- with trees of small and scrubby growth no: unlike somo places seen on •he Oconee above Athens. This narrow, crooked entrance to the lake, which also is its outlet, is about three miles long and at some places too r-.rrow for two steamers to pass. The water in the lak**, which is twenty three miles long and three wide, is as clear as crystal and nary large fish are caught weighing rum twenty to forty pounds.

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 have labored so hard to build up Now, we therefore declare this to be unjust to our cotton trade and hereby bind ourselves not to accept such pack- aces of cotton except where the excess of bagging is redacted from the weight n yards is lawfully Name* of Xewl From Resident Correa pendents at ; Various rotate Near Our City.

It is single moment engage the attention of the the most easily taken and most e£Te< distinguished speaker. 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 ment in levying taxes. ut, covered with £roen grass and fi rs, giving a look of peace, plenty and | comfort. J>ome of these cottages are I by their owner.*, who have their own yacht and everything neccsja- ry for pleasure ar.d recreation; others ire rented furnished or unfurnished to parties from abroad, who select this place tt spend their money and time du ring the summer months. It is said that “money makes the mare ;o,” it makes the people go as veil, it uakes the fine cottage and buys he diamonds, the Silks and : atins, which adorn some of the ladies we see in our travels on cars or steamers, in assemblies of ail kinds more especially at the summer resorts. There lady just in front of where I am sit ting on the boat taking notes for this let ter that is ablaze with diamonds hanging to her ears, around her neck, wrist and fingers: they arc elegant, and if my wife was illuminated with brilliants as seen here 1 could admire her for the sake of them if nothing else. There seems to be no end t> traval in this part of the coun try, wherever you go on steamer or cars, a crowd follows. Some five or six othca points on this lake where the steamers land to receive and leave* passengers 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 nd Jerico, river Jordon, the Dead Sea ud other places to be seen in the Holy Land. This place also is said io be a tacsimile to the place which if is made to represent. From this we pushed our way through the passing crowu.to the Ampin {theatre *o hear the lecture on the Naval Battles cf Resolution by Rev. K. E. ilale. When this vras through we took a general sur vey of the place, which is la:d out in city style, and has that appearance; visited the museum of old ancient works of art, paintings and all sort: season. Wagon load upon wagon load of goods are being shipped by our whole sale merchants to their thousand retail customers in every town in Northeast Georgia. 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 trade. AFe* T1 in: * That Will he of Great Benefit 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.

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.

Uop* in Search of Bride But Find - Her “Not at Home.” The course of true love's not running smooth happened to a youne man of our city who went out to tho Free State Tuesday to get married. The young man went to Gann, Murry & Co's.,livery stable and hired a magnificent landau with four white steedy attached. Mr. Tobe Muny was soon perched on the driver’s scat and_ !d-bo bride groom, with a red lap-robe spread over his knees. The whip cracked and away they went over into Madison county. On arriving at the home of the younv lady, it was found that she was attending church several miles away and had no intention whatever of getting married Mr. Murray-turned the heads of his four grays towards home and says that the next time he goes out with a bridal pa*- ty he wants all parties to be ready. 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.

The road is partly complet ed, and most of it graded between Mad ison and Athens, and it is now calling upon Athens to make good her promises to give the right of way, which that town has failed to do so far. It is estima ted that it will cost Athens $20.<KX) to secure the right of way, which will have to be raised by private subscription. It j ~ . . n . is doubtful whether or not she viilldoi§7.

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.

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. iiman have been invited to attenfl j Jj|j ihe exhibition of the Homer High School j Scl on the 31st.

Broad Street, - GA 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 | ATHENS, GA. j Exercises resumed September 19 th 11SS8.

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.
