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 «dud Work side by side with the negroes t^at they fought to emancipate and at the same wages paid these people. The avenging hand of a just Provi dence is already at wdrk, and.will visit fipon those who so persecuted a peace 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 very 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.

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.” W, II. T. 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.
