■ lTHENS BANNER s TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 29 1891 — ■— WELL, WHY NOT? Our esteemed friend and contem porary, the Marietta Journal, a pa per the honesty and ability of which we do most highly respect and ad. mire, has taken The Banner to taw upon the question of freeing the country of hard times. In a recent editorial The Banner took occasion . to predict that the good time was coming when money would flow Southward; when debt»strioken far* mere should square up long-standing accounts; when hard times would be known no more in this fair land of tbe ‘-free heart’s hope and home.” In our blissful moment of efferves. cent hopefulness happily blended with profound faith and loyalty to the Democratic party, we gave ut terance to thi6 expression: “The whole country is crying for more money, and more money they will have. The Democratic party is going to make its next battle the strongest of all its former battles for more money and easier times, and is going into the campaign with more powerful forces than ever before. Just what plan will be decided upon to free the country from hard times and put more money in the pockets . of the poverty-stricken farmers has ‘ not yet been agreed upon, but these matters will all be satisfactorily seta tied at the next National Conven tion of Democrats.” Now it is this paragraph that causes our esteemed contemporary to re mark : ‘•Yes, the cry for more money, ever has been and ever will be. The man who hasn’t any, wants some the man who has some wants more.” AN EXTRAORDINARY CONFESSION WAS THAT MAX BEATS TBE RECORD of ANY DRY GOODS or GROCERY STORE IN cnPL-.v; <na» Who Disputes my Leadership P . “Who is Athens’ Leader in the uy DAituAIn DMib ior 11118 WG0K. olA: oriL'-'l.A.L. lAc* rivet, liR-iii vxo win D6 repiesenwja : 'ryuuci, oudwis, vjri uctsueb, Ciiiueb, i7UiViJ2,55Tl(jS AND Er a ' You can have your pick this week; at actual prices as given to you beow.

How faithless; how cheerless! Listen now, good broth* er: The Democracy is tbe only hope of the people in their strife for com* mercial freedom ; for more money and easier times. The Democracy n and will put more money into the pockets of the people—especially the tarmera, This can be done. It will be done. You ask how. Sim ply by reducing an iniquitous tariff, thue saving thousands and thousands of dollars to the laboring classes; by cutting down tbe expenses of an ex travagant administration thus pre venting a drain of money from every source throughout tbe country; by putting a damper upon that Yankee pension grab, which will keep less Southern tax money from being bot tled up in the North, finally working a reduction of taxes ; and by such legislation as will give a more liberal coinage and allow the National banks more channels of disseminating mon ey throughout tbe land. But hear him to the ,end: “If tbe sobvtreasury bill should become a law, it would not put mon ey in & man’s pocket unless he has cotton, corn, wheat or land to give as collateral security. The priori* pie of borrowing is bad under any circumstances. It is tbe costliest way to put money in a man’s pocket that be ever tried. No matter bow cheap he borrows money, its dear money, and wbat be wants to strive to do is to be self-sustaining.” This is good preaching, we con fess, and we thank the Journal’ for this' view of the case. Economy must prevail around the fireside and industry must resound from farm to shop. But,pray Heaven, has not tbe Southern farmer been economic ever since the war? Is this his only hope? Must he continue to stint his family; his beloved wife and little m es, con tented to wait for death to come, monopolistic and grinding Is there no balm in Gilead ? We do not want to borrow money. No. We have been forced to borrow too much already. But we would cut down tariffs and taxes. We would break up monopolies. We would save money, and call it money made. And is not this tbe policy of tbe Democratic party ? Wire. impoverished Southland. And now, looking back triumph antly in tbe success that hascrown- ed their labor, turning their defeat into a blessed victory, these old soldiers will once more get together to talk about tbe days that tried men’s souls. God make that meet ing happy! God bless these brave men! while power of Republicanism is at the Naiion’s capital spending his money for the benefit of a few, protecting the rich, buildiDg up by protective ianlfa Northern monopolies while Southern farms are drained of their sap to pay a helpless tribute ? li COD BLESS THESE BRAVE MEN! Thx Banner acknowedges with much profound gratitude the receipt of an invitation from tbe Con federate veterans of the grand old Third Georgia to be present at their grand reunion over at Covington next week. We hope to be there for more reasons than one. It is good to beinthe company of Confederate veterans. Tbe influence of their as sociation is elevating; the lesson of their lives is ennobling; Hie mes sages that come from their lips of a histone past preach more capably I than could be preached by other lips tbe duties of citizenship; the memo ries that bever over their' heads are 8acred. May Heaven’s richest bles sings come to these men in their waning years! It is-well that the Third Georgia soldier boys ebonld meet around the board and break bread together once more. There is that in the memory of their past career that must be perpetuated now, and long after they have been mustered at the call of their dead chieftain, tbe immortal Robert E. Lee, on the other side of the river. These men are heroes; every one of them! They sprang to arms at their country’s call _and wrenching their hearts from that which was most dear to them braved death on the field of battle and met tbe wrath of the invading foe where bullets came thickest, and shell his sed and groaned most frightfnlly. They wrote their names on Fame’s eternal scroll with the points of swords and bayonetts, and whenever the roll was called every man of the Third Georgia was there to drop his n usk t in si lute and answer “here’’ with ready voice. And when the bngle sang trace and the white—winged messenger of peaco brought the two flags to gether at Appomattox, then it was lliat tbe gallant Tbrid Georgia crowned with the undying love and gratitude of their country marched homeward undaunted by tbe humili ation of defeat to go about a new and arduous duty of building up their Here’s a hard blow struck at the Legislature by Bill Moore of the Au gusta Evening News: The Georgia Legislature must be a very weak sort of body to allow a mem ber to get up and use all sorts of bil lingsgate in tbe House without resent ing it. The foul-mouthed wnan from Randolph should be suspended until he apologises properly and to all parties concerned in the recent flaaoo. He has made only half way reparations as yet, and until he apologizes to Mr. Fleh- uko, he should be allowed no standing in tbe House. His words and epithets have not harmed or reflected upon the gentleman from Richmond, bnt they have injured the member from Ran dolph and reflected most severely upon the Georgia Legislature. EdItor Clem Moore is as sound in his Democratic faith as any editor Id Georgia. He says We are sorry to see one of our South Georgia exchanges drifting thirchparty ward. My friend it will be worse in your section of tbe State than this, if sueh a party gets much hold on the people. Ate, there’s the rnb! When Repub licanism and negro predominance take the ascendant course to Georgia politics it’s good-bye John to the State’s best interests and the farmers freedom. In view of the serious disappointment ment to guests at the dinner table of to tal abstinence people on finding that there is no wine, a total abstinence hos tess in London now writes her invita tions with “no wine” at the bottom. THEY WILL ATTRACT The Attention of People In all Sec tions. Several weeks ago the Banner pub lished an account of a seven legged cow that was owned by a dairy farm near this city. And a few days since a notice was published about a spotless white calf owned by a citizen of Athens. The newsfibas caused various inquiries to pour into the Bannkr office concerning these two curiosities and everyone seems to be anxious that these two curiosities be placed on exhibition in Atlanta at the Piedmont. It is more than likely that such will be done, and if they are sent there, they will be sure to attract a great deal of attention. THE GAINESVILLE PAIR. Col. LrvrNOBTON having planted both feet equarely on tbe Democratic plat form says the Macon News, now is tbe time for somebody to nail bim to tbe floor. The Banner thinks it is not best to continue firing into. Col. Living ston now. He says he is a democrat, that he will support tbe party’s candi dates, that be will abide tbe party’s caucuses in congress and that he will vote the straight democratic ticket.— Then let all democrats keep the faith and treat Col. Livingston as a Demo crat, since he desires it. Tna Athens Banner continues its warfare ag&iust the R. & D. monopoly.

He said that the poverty of the Repulicans’ argument was showu in their eHurts to lower the price of sugar by taking the tax off and lowering the price of tin by putting it on. “1 look for the millennium,” said he, “when the ports of the United States are thrown pen and her flags are seen in every foreign port.
