T'mir’iiqfMUtMlebt ^mpmjant: for, Au
gust, says the 'New York Herald, shows
an increase of oy^r $0,000,000 following
an increase of $l,3lt,000 in July. *
During tlve corresponding t\yo months
in each year of Democratic administra
tion there was an average decrease of
about $10,000,000. B3k
There is perhaps nothing surprising
about this. The Republicans came in
to power to spend the surplus. With
the able assistance of Corporal Tanner,
who carried out President Harrison’s
admonition to “be liberal with the old
sojdiers” by disbursing $20,243,000 for
pensions during August, they have not
only made a big hole in the surplus but
begun an increase in the public debt.
It is not strange that President Har
rison is afraid to call an extra session
of Congress before the fall elections.
To reinforce the executive surplus-
spenders with legislative surplus-grab
bers would give the taxpayers a scare
which might stampede even Ohio from
the Republican column.
The campaign of education is expen
sive, hut it educates!
The total number of foreigners who
have come to the United States since
1820 is 10,465,476. Some of these came
as tourists, but it is estimated that at
least 10,000,000 of them came to find
homes in the land of the free'. The de
cade which has brought us most emi
grants was that from 1870 to 1080, when
we received 2,944,009. The present de
cade, in spite of our laws restricting
Immigration, will probably bring a still
larger number.
of the.faet that it meant starvation to
thousands of dependent men, vypmen
and children,', who had served them long
and faithfully, and to the sweat of whose
brow they owe their great wealth*..
Our hearts bleeds in sympathy .for
these starving miners, although many
of them are indirectly responsible for
the misery they now experience. It
was these same people who, in 1SG0,
burning with hate and envy against the
South, shouldered their muskets and
for five long and bloody 3*ears waged a
relentless war against the South, and at
tiie point of the bayonet wrested from
us our slaves. Xot content with . this,
\ ey heaped upon a helpless and. con
quered people the greatest outrage and
ong that malignity and hate could
inflict—attempted to place the foot of
the former self upon the necks of bis old
master. i : •• » . •
“The mills of the gods grind slowly,
but they grind exceedingly fine.” Lit
tle did these Federal soldiers think that
every shackel they struck from a slave
riveted the same manacle upon the
ankle of a w hite man at the North. Yet
such is the case. ; , .
The Southerners, so long as they were
iven their si .v g were content to be a
astoral people and depend for tlieir sup
port on tilling the soil—leaving to the
North the more solid and enduring
Wealth of manufacturing, and mining.
While they knew that their streams
v finished water power sufficient to turn
every spihdle in the universe, and that,
the hills and valleys over which they
hunted or that thev.tilled were rich in*
, k ; * - Y * f (| i
undeveloped mineral wealth, they
gave the matter but little thought, and,
were content to purchase everything
needful in this line from the North.
But when our people found fojuud
their slaves emancipated, and‘ this
source of wealth taken from them, they
slowly began to turn their attentxoiiito
the development of their natural advan
tages. Manufactories were built,mines
opened, and in the latter placed the
emancipated negro, who, by .his frugal
habits, was able to work for wages at
w hich a white uiaujwould starve. Year
by year we have seen Southern coal and
iron driving the products of the' North
from .the market, apd requiring reduc
tion after reduction ip price until ‘ the
Jay has at last arrived when, these* old
mines- must either lie worked at a loss
to their owners, or the Wages ' of the
hands reduced so low that they cannot
buy with their daily toil bread for .tjieir
dependent families.
And;this is only the beginning ojT the
end. The manufacturing and mining
interests of the South are yet in tlieir
infancy* and the day is not-far distant
whan every mill and mine in the North
must be closed, owing to an inability
to meet Souther A prices* hnd keep apace
I with the enterprise of our section; and
• laborers therein must either seek other
Evocations in their already overcrowded
and inhospitable land, or eomc South

the same wages paid these people.
The avenging hand of a just Provi
dence is already at wdrk, and.will visit

ful people, and sought to overide the
decrees of nature, full measure for
measure;
The darkest picture ever drawn of
slavery in the South cannot compare
with the sufferings of those Western
miners. The slave-owner knew it was
to his interest to properly feed and
clothe his negroes, and care for them in
sickness. But not so with the white
slave owner of the North. He has no
interest in his serfs greater than their
daily labor, and the hour they cease to
be profitable to him are they left to
perish. This is already made apparent
in the cases of the miners now starving
in two great Western States. Never
was sueh a horrible and heart-render
ing picture seen on a
Southern plantation in the Jays of sla

The South is now being avenged for
all her losses and humiliations. The
emancipators of >our negroes now find
tlielchains of servitude fastened upon
their own limbs, and every s'.ep that
our section takes toward development
only serves to rivet (still [[tighter
the shackles on the whiteslaves of the
North. The scenes of suffering now

GEN. SHERMAN.
A Sufferer Protests Against his Being In
vited to Georgia.
Athens, Ga., Sept. 4,1889
Editor Banner :—In your last week
ly you protest against the invitation of
Gqn. Sherman to the Uiedniont' Expo
sition. I am glad to read it. if the At
lanta people wish to show their tad^ism
I am sure the people of Georgia and
South Carolina are too independent for
such self-humiliation. Thousands
of poor, helpless, innocent women—wid
ows and orphans, without cause or ne
cessity—had their homes destroyed,
had a lovely home near Atlanta, beau
tified by years of labor arni ca:e. House,
trees, shrubbery and everything destroy
ed by the Vandal. Even mv well of pure,
crystal water was converted into
loathsome privy. This is not an isola
ted case even in the county outside of
Atlanta.
It is an insult to a people to be called
upon to honor and heroize the brute
who ground them to powder. Let the
Piedmont Exposition be a failure rather
than honor the meanness upon helpless
unoffending citizens.
For one i will not kiss the hand that
smote me, and there are thousands of
others who will do,likewise. “Lay on
Mi-Duff.”

ATHENS’ REAL ESTATE.
Two Sales Which Show How Athens Dir
is Prized.
A few days ago, Mr. Bishop, on Mil
ledge avenue. sold two lots from his land
on that street, at a handsome price.
The lots measured about 170 feet front
and sold for six thousand dollars. Only
a few* years ago Mr. Bishop bought his
entire lot from which these two were
small divisions, for the small sum of
twelve thousand dollars, which also
embraced the handsome residence and
all out houses on the place. He has
been offered since that time thirty
thousand dollars by a capitalist in
Brooklyn, N. Y., but refused to take
it.
All of these* facts go to show that
Athens dirt is growing more valuable
each day and that it is becoming more
and more in demand.
The real estate agents corroborate
this fact and say the}' are receiving bet
ter offers for their land than'ever before
since they haye been in the business
here.
