The far mer looks upon the citizen as being antagonistic to bis best interest, and the citizen is not apt to be fully aware of the true condition of affairs in-the home of the farmer. There seems to be a lack of that true confi dence and sympathy between the two classes that ought by all meaps to exist. Among other results of this lack of confidence comes the tightness of the money market, and attendant upon this conditigft^GTa* matter of course-tie" times have been hard, cent financial stringency that caused such distress throughout the country can be traced directly to a lack of confidence. Those who had money kept it securely locked up rather than let it go into circulation with the risk of its not returning to them. This condition of affairs ex tended not only into money centres but into every branch of trade, and its result was injurious. Such a state of affairs should cease, and it should be the pride of every American to do his share of work to bring about such a result. For the restoration of confidence among all classes of our people, The Banneb shall labor with all its might, lor without the existence of such stale of affairs, the prosperity of our State can never be assured. The farmer and the working man eating methods ; a much safer way iu which to win is by the logic of of s uud argument. The general who coolly and shrewdly plans the battle is.suier to sweep hi, enemiee from the field, than he who leads his forces rashly into ambush or madly dashes 01 an impregnable fortifica tion There is not a Damoeratic farmer in the State of Georgia who is thinking of forsaking the old bat tle-flag, but that will listen to argu ment why he should remain true to his colors. If you call him a fool and a renegade, yon succeed admira bly in driving him further away from you and in strengthening the army of the eremies around you Conciliation wins more battles than vituperation, and it is not ne cessary that a man should lessen bis faith in Democracy whei^ he argues against Third partyism. We grant that the fire eating campaign is per haps the most brilliant, but the method of argument and conciliation is much the safer. The duty of the Democracy is plain in regard to its attitude to wards Third Partyism ; present a solid front to the enemy and fight manfully to the end; make no terms; ask and give no quarter; but let the guns th at are fired be loaded with conciliation and fair argument rath er than with sarcasm and abase. There can be but little doubt as to the result in this case. entt, and with the aid of a western vice presidential candidsie can carry India. The srlid South will support Mr. Hill a, the nominee, and thus victory will be assured. Hill is un doubtedly the choice of the New York democracy and that fact alone should weigh heavily in the con test. If,however, the National Convention should believe that the nomination of Hill would loseNew York thiougb factional divisions, then there is no better maD upon whom all might unite than Arthur P. Gorman, o' Maryland. We believe that with either Hill or Gorman as the standard bearer of democracy, the parly will win the ht. And the way it look, now, Hill is the choice. WE MUST CARRY NEW YORK. The situation wilhiD the Demo cratic ranks has narrowed down to a point where the necessity of carry ing the State of New York in order to insure Democratic success be comes more and more apparent, While there have been decided gains in the Western States in favor of Democracy, the time is not yet ripe to select a Presidential candidate from that section, To win require, a united Democ racy, and if we can put out a man on a sonnd platform who can carry New York, New Jersey, Indiana and Connecticutt, in addition to the Solid South, then victory is assured to the Democracy. ^vert’* It is useless toVfiulTabout success at this stags of the game without the thirty-six votes of New York, They are essential to success. The must be on the.very best terms with ....... .. . . * 1 ,1 dutv of the Democratic party is to the me;chants and the capitalists. Antagonistic views and lack of con fidence between the classes cannot fail to bring ahoutjbad results. The lesson must be learned that the wel fare of the farmer is necessary to the welfare of the merchant and that the prosperity of the merchant helps towards the prosperity of the farmer. -There should be no antagonism be tween the city and the country. And we are glad to note a vast im provement along this line ; confi dence is being restored and a better feeling now exists between the class es. Coming down to our own city and the surrounding country, we believe that the citizens of Athens cherish towards the farmers ofNorth east Georgia the kindliest of feel ings, and that the farmers are friend ly to the people of Athens. Their interests are one, and where misfor tune overtakes the one, its evil re sults are cast upon the other. We hope to seej the year crowned with a lull and perfect restoration of confidence among all onr people, and that hand in hand all the citi- * zens of our glorious State may march on to the goal of prosperity that lies just ahead of them. select a candidate who can carry New York and the doubtful States The Democracy of the South cares little about the candidate, but much about the platform. It wishes to see the success of Democratic princi pies, and all it wants in the way of candidate is an honest, trust, worthy Democrat to carry the party to suc cess. Success is what the Southern Democracy longs for, and the Dem ocrats of the South will support the man who can win. The State of New York will soon decide upon its preference and when it does, the Democracy of that State wi 11 for the most part rally to the standard of its leader. The other donbtful States will fall into line soon, expressing their choice, and will not be long before the Democ racy of tbe country will be able to see who is the strongest mac in the doubtful States. Such a man is the man to be nom, inated for President, and in the de cision of this question tbe wishes the Democracy of New York shonld be taken into consideration. NO TERMS TO MAKE. In the great Nation, 1 political fight now upon the country, we have no' terms to make with the incipient Third party movement cor shall we have any to make with it should it grow to be a factor in Georgia or National politics. Wherever the principles of Dem ocracy shall lead the party, there will we be found battling for its best interests, bnt, if in our judgment the party leaders shall err in their policies we shall sot hesitate to point cut what we consider to be errors. ■“■"Ifhere is a difference between tbe principles of s party and i s policies To the former every good Democrat- must adhere, to the latter he is priv ileged as a freeman to dissent. In the final vote and-struggle for su premacy, all must stand together. If the Third party exists in Geor gia it must be defeated at the hands of Demociaoy. But the defeat of a movement is' not secured b~ fire- ir.'s- t ■ ■B M: hA -.i-ifaisl is* aVti IT IS FIRMLY PLANTED. The Farmers’ Institutes havebreo established cu a firm foundation The campaign of -industrial educa* tion started by the State College oj Agriculture and Mechanic Arts has already accomplished great good and to Professors White and Hunni> cutt much praise is due. Everywhere these Institutes have been held, tbe greatest enthusiasm has prevailed, and ’he farmers have left with firm intentions of applying as best they could the principles ol science to their agricultural methods. They realize that on the farm as well as in the city, it is the intelli gent farmer that wins. While the unsystematic farmer plants his crops in a mechanical way and follows the old ideas of culture, and at the end of the year comes out in debt, the far-seeieg farmer, grasping now ide and new methods, takes a step in advance at every movement, plants bis crops and tends them in the best, most scientific, and most eco nomical manner, and at the end of the year has made money. This movement is firmly planted in Georgia, and when under the adoption of the principles thus ad vocated, the agriculture of Georgia shall be re-vivified a;.ii made pros perous, the farmers will regard as their kindly benefactor their State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. you mean to say when they are goes, say before they go.

Novi mber is beyond question. The National De mocracy is free to choose whatever can didate it may prefer. Tammany has no desire to control or dictate its choice; its part in the conflict is to elect the candidate after be sball be named. No matter what Bepublican majorities may come down to the Harlem river from' tbe interior of the state, we propose to meet and drown them with eiehty-flve thousand majority from New York and Kings” It is to be hoped that despite ail fac tion&l lights, Mr. Cooker’s words may prove true and that Che state of N- w York will give her thirty-six votes to wards securing democratic success. Tbe Memphis Appeal-Avalanche says that the man who accepts the Vice- Presidential nomination gives hostages to fortune. He may, if elected, be con signed to oblivion; but if the President should die, he becomes tbe editor-in- chief of 60,000,000 people. PROHIBITING DEALING IN FUTURES There is no doubt bat that one o! the most pernicious irfluences at work in the financial world is the practice of dealing in futures. In this one branch of speculation there is locked up millions of dollars, thus causing financial stringency of tbe most oppressive nature. If in any manner this speculation can he stopped, it should be, and tbe money thus held up in tbe hands of the speculator be put again into cir culation where it will be ot service to tbe business interests of the coun try. The producers and consumers of corn and w licit and cotton da not look with favor on tbe methods that all-.w men to corner the market and put prices where they wish, at tbe same time practically withdrawin g a large amount of money from circu lation. Any movement !oiking to wards the prohibiting of dealing in futures should be looked upon with favor. Editor Walsh, of the Augusta Chronicle is going to make tbe race for State Senator from his district. H< one of tbe brainest men in Georgia, and would represent tbe true interests of his constituents. We hope to see the day come and that shortly, when the young men will quit abandoning tbe farms and rushing to tbe cities. If the country is ever to thrive, this thing must be stopped. The Courier-Journal remarks that Col Bob 1ngkb=oll says that the Be publicans, if they nominate a good man. will elect him. Is Col. Bob getting anxious about the asbestos overcoat in dustry ? The farmers and the inhabitants of cities are becomiog more closely attach- ed to each other and are becoming more thoroughly convinced that the interests of tbe one are the interests of he other. Bead what Senator Brown has to say on tbe presidential nomination and pun der his words. It would be well for the democracy to select a man who can carry the doubtful States. THE MOST AVAILABLE MAN- In the present condition of affairs the Democratic party is in search of the candidate who can carry the doubtful state sand win the victory. Tbe contest now seems to be between Hill and Cleveland inNewYork and the chances of these two members of the party are being discussed all over tbe Union. As to Mr. Cleveland, we would say that, while be is a sterling domoerst, a manjof fearlessness and ability, and one who has served his party well in many cases, nevertheless he is to our mind very clearly not the man for tbe party to put forward as its candidate this fall. We do not believe Mr. Cleveland can carry the donbtful states, snd his nomination in onr opinion would under the ex isting circumstances he a fatal mis take. b v ; The indications now point to Mr. Hild as the most available man in the party for the nomii avion. It cannot be questioned that he is very strong in New York. We believe that he can carry New Jersey and Connecti- BPISto-'-.V’rf WORDS OF SOBERNESS AND TRUTH. The Augusta Chronicle of yester day quotes the following from Col. J. M. Smith ; A revolution' mast come. Men are growing desperate on the farms We need to study political economy. We must learn to lake care of our selves. \Ve must have no political strife, no anarchy, we must have a straightforward, honest, harmonious country, and first of ail every tub must stand on its own bottom Let us grow something else besides cot ton. It is against all history for a country to prosper growing only one crop. Virginia and Kentucky tri<d tobacco culture exclusively and fail ed. Not until Kentucky’s sunny fields were sown down in grain and waving b’ue grass did htr people prosper.” And then, commenting on the above, tbe Chronicle goes cn to say : These are words of s6berne9B and truth,and are entitled to the thought ful consideration of the people. If it becomes apparent that there is no money in cotton for farmers of Gi or- gia, and that a change must be made in their leading staple, thea the far. mere of the Southeast have a prob lem before them of the gravest im portance. The change, of course, cannot be made in one or two years, and in the meantime the farmers will encounter difficulties in change ing frem the old regime and adap>“ ing their methods and labor to the new condition of things. If Texts can grow cotton at prices that are ruinous to our farmers, then we must leave tbe growth of this staple as a leading crop to Texas,and find other crops for.which onr soil and condi tion are most favorable. This is an imp ortant question, and one which deserves the serious thought of ear nest men. THE ENTAILMENT OF DEBT. Says the Memphis Appeal- Ava* iauche:~ Chairman Holman of tbe appropriation committee has told New York Herald correspondent that pensions cannot be reduced a do’lar. The country may well be confident that the “old objector” would not have said this unlesB be knew where of he spoke. We may now see how calamitous hss been the policy of the Republican party in entailing an inextinguishable debt of utterly un reason proportions upon the people foi the pu-pose of the maintenance of high tariff taxes It is the monopo lists who are best served by the pen sions. To pay them tariff taxes, which inure only the benefit of the monopolists, mast be kept ap. Never was a greater crime committed in the name of patriotism. In its excess of zeal to serve the robber barons of commerce the last Congress pat the tariff too high, and as a consequence the reve nues have decreased, and tbe national treasury is bankrupt. The colored republicans very vehe mently deny the authenticity of the re port that Harrison didn’t want thtir presence in the naticnalconvention. When the Uuited States tenders the bill to Chili for damages tothe inj ured sailors and their families, there ra>*y be 7S2T9 war talk The democrats must stiok close to tbe principles of democracy and nomi nate a man who ean carry the party to victory. THE KEYNOTE OF THE SITUATION. To insure Democratic success must-put forward a platform and a candidate that csd not only carry the Solid South but also New Yo r k. New Jersey, Connecticut and In diana. When ti ore Slates exprees themselves and it Is made known who is tbe strongest man amoDg them, then is time enough to talk about se'ecling a P.esidential cam didate. This is the key-note of the situa tion—the principles of Democracy as a platform and as a candidate the man who can make a winning fight. A SOUND CREED.

The Words of Bicuard Cooker Along tHe Right Line,- Macon Telegraph. The Telegraph’s recent inquiry info the cotton prospect forth'- coming year is exciting attention in far-ofl states. The Louisville Courier Joui nal says: Georgia has taken tbe first step to ward making King Cotton's govern mental limited monarchy. Tbe other cotton states should hasten to follow thirckample. * While iu fact much remains to be done before the step can properly be said to have been taken even in Geor gia, there is every reason to believe it will be. The exhortations of the press aud of many individuals preach ing against tbe all-cotton * sys tem of farming have been unheeded for years, and would have been indefinitely had not tbe over pro duction of last season brought matters to a crisis and so vigorously pinched the husbandman that he could not choose but lend attention. Partly judg ing from the answers returned to this paper’s recent inquiries and partly from other significant straws in the wind, it seems undoubtedly true that the recen 1 depression in tbe cotton rnaiket has struck the right spot in tbe breast of the farmer, aud that h° is more deeply impressed with the necessity for diver- isfied crops than ever before. It is for tunate that this truth should begin t< be appreciated by him just at ,the time when it is not only most necessary to his interests that, there should be a change, but when the risk he runs (if he thinks he runs any) in inaugurat ing it is reduced to a minimum. That the surplusa'ge of the past two years has glutted the market and rendered tbe profitable cultivation of cotton impossi- or a time he knows in advance, and witfi this before his eyes, he will be able to turn his at tention to other work satisfied, even if he views it as an experiment, that how ever slightly he may better his condi tion there is no danger whatever of making it worse. After giving the n» w system a fair trial, and there is good reason to hope it will he done this year, there is little doubt that its advantages will be so plainly demonstrated that in future he will need no coaxing to in duce him to heed a lesson so disagreea bly taught, but so vital to his welfare.

MONEi! On Farm Security, At 6 Per Cent. A. G. McCurry, Athens, Gi Windsor Shoe Ston As to Cotton Acreage- Macon TeUgraph: There is encouragement in the cotton acreage figures published yesterday by the Telegraph. They were carefully collected, and we do not doubt that they reflect what is now the intention of the farmers of the state—tq largely reduce the cotton area this year and increase that devoted to food crops. Of course it is impossible, in advance of the plant ing of the crops, to determine exactly, even by the most careful inquiry, just what will be done; but tbe Telegraph has proved, at least, that in all parts of the State the necessity of a change in the policy heretofore pursued is gene rally recognized. It may be said that while many cotton planters admit the wisdom of reducing tbe production they will themselves refuse to plant less, in tending to profit by a general move^ ment which they fully expect their neighbors to join. There is little in the present situation, however, to en courage the individual planter to adopt this course. There is no prospect of high prices, even should the crop be very short. The enormous crops the last two years have glut ted the markets and piled up a stock that must keep prices: low for a long time to come. They have also taught buyers, and especially those of Europe, to thoroughly distrust crop es timates, so that the pinch of actual 8carcity~muBt be felt before ihey will be willing to pay prices much higher than those which have recently prevailed. It will be well for our farmers to recog nize the facts of the situation and real ize that the era of low prices for cotton will prevail for a long time yet. The ohances are very much in favor of«the man who plants a big crop, with the expectation Af selling it at a high price because his neighbors have reduced their production, suffering a severe dis* appointment. ^ Chickens Coming Home to Roost. Bostou Herald: The trial of Ex Senator Delamater for embezzlement is now in progress at Pittsburg. The misfortuues that have come upon the Delamater family since this memoer of it ran for Governor of PeausyWaiiia something impres sive. Ex-Senator Delamater himself is a hopeless bankrupt, with no assets to speak of, and he is now on trial for re ceiving money from depositors in his bank when he knew the institution was solvent. Moreover, his father and bro ther are bankrupts, bis family nearly penniless, and four of them stand charged with criminal offences. All this would be pathetic if there were not so much rascality involved in it. Only Through Democracy. Brunswick Times. Financial reforms are not expected of the republicans. Only the democratic party, with its great popular majority, is heartily and firmly pledged to reform the tariff, the finances, the government and the commerce of the country. What more can be demanded? If the democ racy is defeated by senseless divisions, the republicans will destroy all hope of such reforms. 29 Clayton St. 11!
