AGGRESSIVE BUT CONCILIATORY
There lies before the Democratic
party in Georgia to-day a problem
to be solved. Its integrity is threat"
ened and many of its followers are
drifting away into the ranks of th§
Third party. The ranks must be
closed up, the breach must be healed,
the confidence of the people must be
restored, and Georgia must stand
once more in the front of the DemQ-
cratic party. This is the problem
•to be solved, and to its solution it
calls the wisdom and experience and
patriotism of the party.
The Democratic campaign in Geor
gia has fairly opened the orators
ot the party aie proclaiming its prin
ciples from the hustings and from
the editorial' sanctums of the press
are going forth arguments why the
party should be united.
Ihere is but one, line along which
to urge the battle, and every Demo
crat in Georgia should talk and work
in that spirit.
. The campaign must be aggressive
BUT.CONCILIATORY.
What has brought about this di
vision in the ranks ? As has been
stated in the columns of the B/nner
time and again, there i3 much dis
affection and discontent prevalent
among the farming classes of our
people, brought about by their finan
cial condition. As Hon. £. T.Brown
said in his speech at the Opera
House Saturday night the cause of
all this division is best expressed in
one word and that word is “poverty.”
In the face of such facts it would
be unpardonable for Democrats to
charge these men with being traitors
to the Democratic party, traitors to
the traditions of the South, and trai
tors to the best interests of their
homes. And Democrats are not go-
A'ag to do any such thing.
These men are our friends, they
1 have voted just as many Democratic
tickets as we have, and have .always
come to the front when Democracy
was endangered. They followed the
stars and bars with all the ardor and
patriotism of Georgians and poured
out as much blood upon the fields of
battle as any of the rest of us ; they
have families that are just as dear
to them as life itself; they are Geor
gians and love the old State as well
as we do ; and if we carry to them
the true doctrines of Democracy and
if Wc convince them that success can
be obtained only through Democrat
ic victory, they will vote with ns.
It should be a campaign of argu
raent, a campaign of reason, and if
the Democratic party can’t stand on
that then it should fall.
The country has been burdened
with iniquitous legislation and the
Thin) party men charge it as the
work of the two old parties. They
do mot stop to think that every law
placed upon the statute books* since
1861 has been the work of only one
of the old parties and ti\at is the Re-
publiean party. The Republican
party is the party that demonetized
silver,-that inaugurated the pension
grab and' the subsidy steal, that put
upbn the country the burden of a
high protective tariff, that is manip
ulated by the plutocrats and gold-
bugs and monopolists.
The responsibility for not one

We believe that the farmers are
honest in their fight; we believe that
they are determined also; we believe
that through argument they will be
convinced and become just as deter
mined in the ranks of Democracy.
The campaign should be conduct
ed along this line.
questnn is almost an insult to the
manhood of,Georgia, and yet it is
asked for a purpose.
Some of the more enthusiastic
Thiid party men are asking the ne
gro to vote with them For what?
To gain relief? Yes that is the mo-,
live that prompts the question. And
if the negro does vote that way, what
will bis motive, be? To help tbs Re
publican parly. Was it ever knovn
ot him to vo e otherwise? Whatever
is to the interest of Republicanism
• hat will he do.
Do those who ask this of the ne
gro stop to thick of the result?
Surely they do not. They have
memories. They cannot forge; the
many hard fights they have made
during reconstruction days and in
later years to keep down Republi
canism; how much has been gained
in restoring the country to the rule
of the white man, and how much D
to be lost through the restoration of
Republicanism to power. No they
surely cannot forget these things.
And yet if they will stand shoal
der to shoulder with the negro; if
they do turn their backs on their old
comrades, their can be but one re
sult.
It cannot be beneficial to them;
bad results must come to any such
cause; for he who lies down with dogB

ranks. They foresee the impending
crisis, the inevitable results of divi

Such a movement cannot prevail
Who bnt Democrats worked out the
salvation of the South iu re-con
struction days, wbo but Democrats

have been the upholders of white
supremacy in the South for twenty-
seven years? There is but one ans
wer and that is that Democracy
alone has protected our social com
pact throughout all the storms that
have raged.
Do NOT SEEK TO 8HIFT UPON DE
MOCRACY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF Die

Those who are going mto the new
par'y say they are going to elect
their Congreumen. The farmers are
the majority of the Democratic par
ty and con elect their men to office
as Democrats as easily as Third
party men, and besides ai* not the
Third party folks obliged to look
for candidates among their own
members and choose the same men

ocrat ?
Aside fiom the fact of right and

an expedient one for the peopls of
the South?
HAS IT COMB TO THIS?
Has the time arrived when the
white people are ready to oali upon

DANGER AHEAD. '
A split in the Democratic ranks
ia Georgia is more dangerous than
one is at first led to imagine. If the
future results are carefully looked
into before the step is taken there
will be no Third party in Georgia.
Aside from the fact that a divio
sion in the ranks means the return
Qf Republicanism to power ; aside
from the fact that such a resul
means the extravagant expenditure
of the public money; aside from the
fact that the success of Republican
ism means more force bill legislation
and a train of attendant evils that
will be put upon the South ; aside
(rom all these there looms up a gi
gantic question of intense interest
io the South, which ia its evil re
suits surpasses all the others com
bined. It is the threatened return
of the negro to power.
This is the signal that tells of
danger ahead. It must be heeded
The danger must bs averted.
White men of Georgia cannot say
that they will ignore the race ques
tion in this fight ; they cannot say
that the question of race differences
has been settled forever. It is
question that will not be ignored.
We are surrounded by a certaip kind
of civib'zition ; over our environ
menls we have no control ; and we
cannot ignore the existing state of
affairs.
To our care and stewardship has
been submitted this vexed problem:
we are compelled to solve it whether
we wish to or not.
Every man knows that there is an
element in this class, lawless and
"iolent, that even the better mem
bers of their own class fear, an ele
ment that is quick to seize upon the
balance of returning power and'use
it for all kinds of nefarious purposes
The very men who are now think,
ing of going mto a Third party know
full well what this means, for they
have minds and memories and mast
recollect the many stubborn fights
gone through in the past for the sake
of preserving the supremacy of the
white race in Georgia. They know
that a return to those conditions
w ill make home life dangerous, un
safe, unbearable in the country and
in the small villages and towns.
We are not seeking to alarm, nei
ther do we wish to wave the bloody
shirt. We simply state the cold, un
varnished, undeniable facts of our
existing state of affairs: Preserve
tLe unity of the white race in Geor
gia and you preserve the peace and
happiness of her people ; destroy it
and yon bring back into power a law
less element and in some portions of
the State jeopardize the safety .of the
people and render it necessary to
mount above the door of every
dwelling a shot-gun or a Winchester
rifle.
Not only this. With that element
in power, your jury boxes scon be
come corrupted by the infusion of
thatclaes, and your offices are thrown
open for their occupancy.
The Third party leaders are seek
ing to put upon the Democratic par*
THE COTTON PLANTER.
The preseat price of cotton is not
remunerative to the cotton growing
States, says the Courier*Journal. A
tew men, here a ad there, are by spe
cial methods or by the posfe.sitn ot
ample means for intensive farming,
sble to produce cotton at a small
profit even at present prices.
But the millions of workers iu the
cotton field have btea forced to sell
the result of the>r labor at unremu-
uerative prices. The:e is to crop
requiting as constant attention for
as many months in the year as cot
■on. There is no crop to-day that
has such important influences, at
home and abroad, and no crop, not
even wheat, that is used so larg
to settle our accounts with Europe
for large importations of luxuries,
It is therefore a matter of the first
necessity, not only to the cotton pro
ducers, but to the per pie of the Uni
ted States in all branches of indus
try, that nulling be doae to add to
the cost of producing this great sta
ple. The least impediment imposed
in the path of the cotton producer
may result in financial disaster, not
only for on? section, but for all sec
tions of the country. ‘
Y„t in the face of this situation
we have the Repub'ican party con
tending in season and ont of season
for the imposition of taxes on cotton
bagging, and on the ties with which
these bales are held together.
Furthermore, it is true that cotton
ties are higher to-day in America
than they are abroad. If they are
'ower to-day in New York than in
Liverpool, then the tariff is simply a
ridiculous pretends and should b
abolished as a lie. The tariff, if it
has any c-filct at all, enables the
American producer to get more for
his ties than if the tariff were abol<
ished. In other words, it compels
the cotton planter to pay mere tor
his ties than he would pay but for
the tariff.
Even the protectionists begin to
see this now and they are claiming
that the tariff does not increase
prices,that on the contrary it reduces
prices. A sufficient answer to this
pretense is that if the tariff did re
duce prices, the manufacturers them
selves would be clamoring for its re»
peal. As they are elamoring for its
retention it mus~ be evident that the
tariff enables them to charge more
for their products than they could
possibly charge if the tax were
abolished.
LOOK TO YOUR REPRESENTATIVES.
The best way in which to secure
legislation is to sena men to Con*
gress pledged to a certain line of
work, and to hold them to strict ac.
coant for all that they do or fail to
do.
The silver bill was shelved the
other day. Are you going to de
nounce the Democra'ic party for
that ? Look to your representatives.
Yon are the sovereigns ; they are the
subjects; and if they do not folly ex
ecute year orders remove them. .
What did Georgia’s delegation do
in that fight for the free coinage of
silver ? The records show that every
one of them were found at their
posts of duty, carrying out the will
of their constituents.
Would they have done their work
any more effectually if they had
been with thp nine members of tne
>' Third party instead of being with
CONCILIA TED. NOT DRIVEN-
That political partv that depends
upon coercioa for the ac omplishr
ment of its principles is weak ; that
party that depends upon c >rruption
to win its victories at the p Us is an
enemy to the true interests of the
Republic; the only party that merits
the support of the people is that
party that allows to every man the
right ot exercising the mind God has
giien him and extends to him the
inalienable privil g-i of casting a vote
according to the dictates of his own
consc once.
The Democratic psrty has always
been, is now and will forever be the
party of the people. Its fundamen
tal princples vouchsafe to every
man the right to vo e as he pleases,
and when each citizen has made up
his mind and voted, it calls upon all
‘o abide the will of the majority. It
dees not coetce; it does not desire
to suppress the popular will; it does
not corrupt; it buiUs upon most
enduring foundations.
The conditions that now surround
he Democracy of tLe South aie pet*
culiar ones, and the success of the
Democratic party in this section de
pends entirely upon the kind of pol
icy pursued by the Isadora of the
party. If the correct principles of
true Democracy aie applied to the
situation all will be well in Georgia
and the South.
We are confronted with this situ
tion of affairs. A careful diagnosis
should be made, then a remedy ap
pl ei. The farming classes of our
State are burdened with debt; the
mortgages upon the homes are in
creasing and crushing tj}e life out of
thp inmates ; cotton, the staple crop
of the section is selling far below its
cost; poverty is crouching at the
doors of many homes; unjust and
iniquitous laws bear down most
hpayily upon this class of our citi
zens ; they are demanding relief and
it is their intention to have it at all
costs.
Is that a true picture of the situa
tion? It certainly is. We haven’t
overdrawn it in the least
That there such a condition of
affairs in the South no on,e can denj;
that the farmers are justified in ma
king an effort to secure relief all will
admit.
Now whatever will benefit the
farming cla?sjs will benefit the cities.
It is a mistake to suppose that they
are antagonistic to each other.—
Therefore with all sincerity wp say
that the cities and their people are
just as heartily in favor of finanUthl
relief as the farmers, for what bene
fits one most assuredly benefits the
other.
Now as to the manner in which
this relief is to be gainei ; the rem<>
edy suggested for the disease that
afflicts opr bqiy politic. Some of
our farmer friends charge that De
mocracy is no friend to the people
The Democratic party denies this
and answers that the only way for
the farmers to gain the relief they
seek is to fight the battles ont with
in the ranks of the party. Now one
view is right and the other wrong,
Which is which ?
We have no danfyt in our minds
but that the Democratic party af
fords the only avenue of success for
the farmers of Georgia and the
South. We believed this in the past,
we believe it now, and we shall ever
believe it.
Bus in this fight, Democratic unity
and solidity in the South is neces
sary, and it is highly important that
those who have drifted away from
the party should be brought back, in
order to prerent a solid and unbro
ken front to the enemy. How is this
to ba attained ? How are the Dem
ocratic ranks to be closed up again ?
By abusing those who have left ?
By refusing to allow to them the
freedom of an opinion ? Not a bit
of it. * *
They car be conciliated, but not
DBIVEH.
Instead of a vindictive, bitter cam-
paign, let it be one ot *conciliation
and argument. Let us go to these
friends of ours and say to them :
“ You are our friends; you love
yonr State, your country, your fam
ilies; yon are interested in the welt*
fare of the nation, comp, let ns rea
son together and in sincerity and
good faith, work out the salvation
of Georgia and our sunny Southland.
When yon do that they will listen
to yonr arguments, but they must
come in the most brotherly and
fiiendly way. Wheu such is done
there need be no fear of Georgia
leaving ihe Democratic, column
Such a campaign will remove all
donbte from the minds of the people,
and a re-united Southern Democracy
will lend its mighty aid to the ac
complisbment of the downfall of Re
publicanism and plutocracy.
THE NATIONAL PLATFORM.
What will be the nature of the
National Democratic platform? What
kind ot timber will be put in and
will the planks ba solid and well
seasoned? We can answer pow that
will be a good platform; as to its
specific planks the convention alone
will tell the tale. * ^ r .
That there will be a sweeping
tariff plank no one can refuse to be
lieve; and it is ab ut as certain as
anything gets to be that the dele
gates, who represent the wishes of
their conptituences will detnand the
introduction of $ free silver plank, a
plank that will restore stiver as mon
ey metal on a parity with geld
These will ba the two great issues in
our judgment that will enter into the
next campaign and upon both thes
the Democracy will set itself right.
Will the Ocala demands be incor
porated into the Democratic plat;
form? Rerheps pot spepificaj y, bu
the teadpucy ol the platform will be
towards jtaform, relief, and economy
in every particular,
Evtry man in America who
clings to tbs Democratic fajth will
have a ha»i in the making of that
platform. Take the question as it
applies to Georgia. Our people are
being divided as to a Third party.
^Vhy^ D’epausj} a oj) nailer of them
charge that the Democratic partv
will not grant the relief demanded.
Let each county in G-nrgia exer
else its right and elect delegates to
the State convention in Atlanta who
will ^present thtir ideas.’ If
coupty Democracy endorses the
Ocala platform or the platform of
1888 all well and good. When the
delegates assemble in Atlanti, they
will, acting conjointly, form a plat
form of prinpipjes to be presented to
the National pemocyatic ponyention
at Chicago. It the State Convert
tion by majority vote plpige3 its
support to the Ocala demands, all
well and good. The organizod
Democrats of Georgia anting in a
regular and customary way- have a
right to express their choice as to
fjatfjpm.
And when Georgia’s delegates go
to Chicago and do their best to in
corporate their platform in the
National platform, they will have
discharged their duty. If it should
be their duty to urge the Ocala de
mands and the convention should by
majority vote adopt them, all well
and good. If they should reject
them, then Georgia, true to tfie prin
ciple of majority rule, should shoul
der the platform and help oarry it
through.
This is a plain atatemeut of how,
in onr opinion, the farmers should
push their claims. If they control
•he majority and name the principles
to be incorporated in the platform,
the man who bolts it ia no Democrat.
And thp reverse is alsg true of thig
question.
-Editorial Comment
The only way in which to heal the
breach between the Democrats of Geor
gia is to convince those who are think
ing of leaving the ranks that their
course will result in barm to their test
interests. Villiflcatipn would be un
pardonable; rhetoric would houseless;
equivocation out of place. The only
way is to preach so and doctrine and
convince their minds by argument.
These men are our friends, they are
honest in their convictions, and they
will listen to all cur argument if we
will advance i f .
The argument used in favor of the
pension plank is an amusing one. They
say that because the bond holders were
paid the difference between the depre
ciated currency and gold that therefore
the soldiers should be. Haven’t the
soldiers been paid very liberally since
the war in pensions, and is not $135,000,-
000 a sufficient sum to pay for each
year? And besides all this do two
wrongs ever make a right ? .

Stand by the old thip, the storms are
raging now, but they’ll not last forever
When the election rolls around and the
smoke of the great political battle shall
have rolled away, the men who carried
het safely over the breakers by the
strength of Ibeirgood right arms and
honest hearts will have recompense
enough for their labors in the knowl
edge that they have kept the white
man on tcp.
As to whither or not cptton can be
raised for 3£ cents we will not discuss,
but certain it is that the average cost of
cotton production in Georgia is not un
der seven cents. Hence the cotton pro
ducev must either learn how to produce
his cotton more cheaply, plant less of it
or go out of the business.
