TIME FOR ACTION.
The statement that sixtean hun
dred subsAlliances in Georgia have
endorsed the Third party movement
furnishes food for thought on the
part of those who earnestly wish for
Democratic success. We do not be
lieve that this statement carries with
it the fact that all the members ol
those sub-AJliances are in lavor ol
the Third parly. But even as it is,
it is evidence ot a wide-spread dis
satisfaction among the farming class
es of j>ur people and a disaffection
that must not be suffored to develop
into estrangement from the party
that has ever fought the batiks of
the people.
The time has come for action,
quick, thorough, and convincing, on
the part of the Democrats in Geor
gia. A simple call for a Democratic
convention will not suffice, nor will
a mere appeal from executive com
mittees or Democratic press do the
work. Such efforts as these will not
suflice to quell the uprising on the
part of the people, to allay the ferns
*of the masses, to restore the confi
dence of the farming classes of our
people in the party of their fathers
Several things will be necessary
to accomplish this;result. -Ccngres'i
JJLftt—ie&SiT the Democratic House
must be quick to demonstrate its
principles of re r orm and relief and
assure the people 0? their earnest
ness in helping them. This wil
give the Democrats of Georgia good
vantage ground from which to work
But the work .must not stop' at
this point. There will remain much
to be done besides. Instead of mere*
ly issuing a call to the Democrats of
Georgia, the Executive committee ol
the State should pull off their coats
and get down to work in just such a
manner as they would if the election
were so close a* to turn on one vote.
The County Democratic organize*
tions should not rest content on set
ting dates for conventions to nomi
nate delegates to the National corn*
venuon. They should-get down to
work just as they would in a heated
county election.
The ablest Democrats in Georgia
should deem it a privilege and a duty
to take the stump from Tunnel Hil>
to Brunswick, from the Savannah to
the Chattahoochee, and preach the
soundest and purest of Democratic
doctrine, testing their case on argu
ment, fair and conservative, and
confronting the situation with the
irresistible logic of facts.
Let the true principles of democ
racy be expounded; let the farmer
be told exactly the truth in the mat
ter, that through democratic success
he can gain relief, through demo
cratic defeat he loses all he has
hoped to achieve.
In this hour when the integrity o!
the party is threatened in Georgia*
it ill behooves the preus of the state
to waste its time, its strength and
its influence in discussing the merits
or demerits of any particular Demo
cratic candidates. It will be a crime
against their constituences and the
people of Georgia, if they do not
cease all such wrangling and united
in the common cause of the people,
throw themselves into the breach,
battle for the good of the state they
love, expound principles not men,
heal wounds and not make new ones,
strive to remove all disaffection Irom
the hearts of the people, and bend
SINCERE ADVICE.
It is the duty of an editor to fill
the editorial columns of his paper
with utterances that will redound to
the gcod of the people of bis county,
his state, and the common country.
I he field of work that stretches
out before him is a wide one, in which
he may plow deep and lasting fur
rows of good or evil. He has a duty
to perform and one for which he
must render strict account not only
to the people but to eternity.
The editor is called npon to urge
and advise certain lines of policy,
certain principles of right, certain
movements that inure to the benefit
of the peopl°. In his work along
this line, sincerity is the strongest
weapon with which to wage a win
ning fight. If the people believe
that he is sincere in his utterances,
i hat he is laboring for what he deems
their best interests, they will either
agree with him and act according to
his advice, or disagreeing, there will
be no spirit of enmity or unkindness
engendered.
Upon any public question of in
lerest that touches the prosperity
and happiness of the people ; upon
every issue that carries with it a
struggle between light and wrong
upon every movement that tends to
wards the upbuilding or destruction
of the institutions of a nation, he is
called upon to take a stand. It is
his duty, when placed in such a sit
uation to use the mind that God has
given him to the very be3t advan
tage ; to study the situation thor
oughly, and carefully watch the cur
rent of events; to come to a decision
upon the merits of the question un
der consideration ; to take a stand
upon the issue ; and without fear ol
puqishmcit or # hope of reward to use
his best talents in winning success
for his ideas and his pcsition.
When this course is pursued, even
those who differ with him will not
censure; those who oppose him will
not villify. Allowing to every man
the right to his opinion, he will in
turn be cheerfully accorded that
right. If in his utterances he says
things that seemingly hurt the feel
ings of some of his constituents,
they will choose to look upon it
the light in that verse from Proverbs
which says:
‘•Faithful are the wounds of
friend, but tbs kisses of an
are deceitful ”
So much fer the duties of an
editor and the way in which he
should conduct his life-work.
The Banner has been purging the
farmers of Georgia and the South
to stand by the Democratic party.
In this it has been sincere in its ad
vice. A close study of the situation;
a calm review of all the questions
that underlie the present movement
in favor of reform; a just regard for
the impoverished condition of the
masses of Ihs people and the neces
sity of relief, immediate and * lar~
reaching; a firm conviction that the
agricnltural interest of the country
must be improved; and a certain
knowledge of the fact that Republi
canism must be throttled at all haz»
zards; have led us to the conclusion
that we seek to firmly impress upon
the minds of the people of the South.
It ie no pessimistic view of the
situation to say that affairs are
gloomy in agricultural circles in the
South, nor is it exaggerating the
status of aflairs to say that no hope
remains for the peoplegof the Sontb
outside the Democratic party. The
condition in which affairs have run
cannot long continue; it is even now
alarming. The success of Republic
canism or Third parfyism would be
even more alarming. The former
condition is bad enough; the latter
ie ruin.
There is no danger .of Southerners
going into the Republican camps,
bnt there is a danger of their voting
with them under another name, for
every vote cast for the Third party
in the South is lending a helping
hand towards Republican success.
If those wbo are thinking of taking
this step will only think over the
question they will see that the Re
publican party would willing'y cease
the struggle for supremacy in New
York if it could only succeed in
breaking the solid South.
The farmers seek relief; they are
battling for reform. The argument
with many is that Democracy has
never benefitted them. Our answer
is that thd Democratic party has
never had control of the three
branches of the government at the
same time. On the other hand what
assurances have those who seek to
leave the Democratic party that the
Third party will be able to fulfill its
promises? What the farmers want
is immediate relief. In oar humble
judgment there is no way in which
to gain this save in Democratic suc
cess.
The farmers of Georgia and the
South have reached the division of
roads. One road is that of Democ
racy—this leads to success; the other
is the side track of Third partyism
—it leads to ruin.

1NJUR1NCTHE PARTY-
Newspapeis that cast aspersions
upon the character of any of the
Democratic leaders simply to gain
favor for their particular favorites
are injuring the party more seriously
than can be imagined.
If Mr. Hill is nominated the Cleve
land organs will have to support
him as the nominee, and if Mr.
Cleveland is nominated it will be the
duty of the Hill organs to support
him fearlessly.
Now every word said against either
of these prominent candidates or any
other Democrat who may be a can
didate has a bad effect. Those words
are read, they create an impression,
and that impression remains. When
the nomination is made it will be
recalled, and men will feel a hesi
tancy in voting for a man against
whom such things have been said.
Do not cail Mr. Cleveland a mug
wump, do not charge bim with all
kinds of political cijmes. Do not
call Mr. Hill a machine politician, a
rickster ; do not charge him with
all kinds of corruption. They do
not deserse such charges, they are
both good Democrats.
It is oar candid opinion that Mr
Clevelan is eotitely out of the race.
We believe that his nomination
would be a fatal blunder on the part
of the Democratic pai ty. Yet we are
not going to villify him or abuse
him, for if that blunder should be
made we want to be on the best pos
sible vantage ground to do our part
towards retrieving it.
It is onr firm belief that Mr. Hill
i9 the strongest man in the field—
that with him as onr candidate we
can win. We believe Le will be
nominated. But we are not going
to put ourselves in such a position
where we can support Hill and no
body else.
against the very foundations of the
party.
From the position first taken in
this matter The Banner has no de
sire to retrace its steps; on the other
hand we would take a step forward
and say that the disaffection is in
creasing and calls more loudly than
ever for action, quick and effective.
The popular revolution now sweep?
iDg over the country is really a
strong movement in favor of Democ
racy. If the Democratic leaders are
wise they will put the party in a po
sition to take advantage of it ; but
it will require work, for vast num
bers of petty politicians are at work
now seeking to divert it into other
channels, that run not through sinil
ing valleys, but lead out into the
boundless oc an of ruin.
The Third party is at work. It
was born of a movement toward re
lief. Its principles and its platform
convey the idea of revolution. Its
leaders, taking advantage of the de
pressed condition of the farmer, al,
lure him into its ranks by promises,
rain-bow like, but without the pos
sibility of fulfilment.
The farmer has reached that point
where he reasons that affairs cannot
be made worse than they now are.
He has not stopped to count the
cost of Republican success. Here
then is a field where argument can
do good. If in fairness and good
spirit we can convince him that his
best interests will be subserved by
following the Democratic flag, it is
surely worth the while to labor to
thateDd.
There be a great many who say
there is no need of this work, no
need of argument; that the farmers
of Georgia, that the workingmen of
the cities, are not thinking of leav
ing the Democratic party; that all
is well with the par y of Thomas
Jefferson. We do not pose as an
alarmist ; we simply slate the facts
as they strike our mind after a stns
died investigation of the situation.
We have talked with hundreds of
farmers, mechanics and alliancemen
in the last twelve months, and there
is no use in denying the troth,

gia is menaced, seek to remove the
The same grade of cotton sold a year
ago for 8 11-16 cents, and the year
before last at 10 15-16 cents. Tak-
ing.tlie average prices realized by
the cotton (planters during the pre
sent season compared with those re
ceived last year the Picaynne ealeu
lates that the loss to the cotton plan
tors on the present crop has been at
least $10 per bale, while compared
with year before last the loss has
not been far from $20 per bale. Even
should the present crop prove as
large as 9,000,000,000 bales, the total
loss to the planters, compared with
last year, will not fall far short of
$so,ooo,ooo.
THE FRUIT CROP-
The heavy f.osls have caused the
inquiry to be |made as to the effects
it had upon the fruit crop of Geor
gia. A great many entertain fears
that the crop has been materially
injured, while others express the op
posile opinion. The general belief is
that Georgia’s fruit crop this year
will be abundant and one that will
prove a source of great profit.
—Editorial Comment
THE COTTON PROBLEM.
Hubbard, Price & Co.’s special
circular issued March 14, shows that
th? cotton crop of tie past season
will reach nine millions of bales.
In concluding the report on cot
ton, these authorities say—and let
every man read:—We are confront
ed with the problem of over produc
tion in cotton, iron and silver, and
each of these great sources of the
world’s wealth is now selling at the
lowest prices recorded for many
years. The iron manufacturer is
shutting down his furnaces and cur
tailing production on every hand ;
the silver miner is happy in having
“Uncle Sam” as a buyer of a stated
amount each month, although that
does not prevent the price of silver
from falling, and he wants “unlim
ited coinage” as a remedy; now what
will the cotton planter do, who has
no Government to take the surplus
of cotton off his hands ? A month
ago it was thought tht: prices then

his crops, reducing the acreage de

8,080,000 bales, and a decline to 5c.
This is the question for the planter
to decide, whether he will continue

If you go to the farmers with fair ar

spirit of fairness. If you can convince
them in this matter, do it. But do not

that their^in'erests are in a deplorab e

Scrofulous Humor—A Cure
,f Almost Miraculous.”
" When I was 14 years of age I had a sever?
attack ot rheumatism, and after I recovered
had to go on crutchea A year later, scrofula,
<n the form of white swellings, appeared oa
various parts of my body, and for 11 years I
was an Invalid, being confined to my bed
years. In that time ten or eleren sores ap
peared and broke, causing me great pain and
suffering. I feared I never should get well.
'* Early in 1S861 went to Chicago to visit a
sister, bat was confined to my bed most of the
time I was there. In July I read a book, ‘ A
Day with a Circus/ In which were statements
of cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I was so Im
pressed with tbe success of this medicine that
I decided to try it. To my great gratification
the sores soon deereassd, and I began to feel
better and in a short time I was up a 1 " 1
out of doors. I continued to take Hood’s Sar
saparilla for about a year, when, having
( six bottles, I had become so fully released
\ tram the disease that I went to work for tbe
Flint At Walling Mfg, Co., and since then
SAVE NOT LOST A SINGLE DAT
on account of sickness. I believe tbe disease
Is expelled from iny system, I always feel well,
am In good spirits and have a good appetite-
I am now S7 years of age and can walk as well
as any one, except that one Ihnb ts a little
shorter than the other, owing to the loss of
bone, and the sores formerly on ray right leg-
To my friends my recovery seems almost
miraculous, and I think Hood’s Sarsaparilla
ts the king of medicines.” WilUAH A
