Lust week we gaVe soma facts and figures on this subject ^being confined to a few brief statements as to how far filing is cileetsd by the restriction of currency and the general unfriendliness of tae government to the'best intCrts. of tite producer. Under tln>,Iiead we propose to write about six or eight articles of a column each, weekly, ayd we earnestly request eacH and pveTjj farmer into whose hands this paper may be placed. to follow us through and 'perchance it may put somebody to thinking. Why is it that 'the farmers, who pro duce more wealth than any other’like class on earth, grow poorer and poorer yeay, by year ? He works more hours in a day tba’n'ahy’other clhsSjbf- people on the earth. The. mechanics" are clam oring for eight 'hoars to be d full day’s work. The farmer works from twelve to fourteen the year around. He pro duces nearly all the wealth exported to loreigu countries.’ fie feeds and clothes the world an<X yet liis food crops and cotton crops are produced by him at a cost Jess than actual expense ,of pro duction- Carefully prepared crop re ports made by the. Illinois State Board of Agriculture show that corn grown on the rich prairies of that state are grown at h dead loss. From the year ’SI to ’86 this loss amounted to $69,909.- 047. The evil that afflicts the corn rais ers of Illinois is not due to local causes nor is it confined tO corn crops. The same causes that depress the price of corn depresses the prices of. cotton, wheat, and other farm products. The Illinois man is not affected more than the men of Texas, Minnesota, Nebraska and Virgiuia. Exactly the same causes that make interest high in the North make it so,in the South' and West, and the thing that is sapling the life blood of all branches of agriculture is summed up m two words—unjust legislation. “It- is perfect folly for any man to think that he can achieve much permanent success by farming when general con ditions prevail that positively force the farmer to pay a tribute greater than one can produce after feeding himself and family. The proposition to demand a better price for our cotton this fall raised a wave of disapproval all over the land. The proposition was attacked with the argument that an increase in the price of cotton woyld cause the pric • of ev erything else t<# rise in proportion. Well, when “the trust” doubled the price of bagging did co. ton rise ? When sugar, coffee and salt and other articles controlled, by trusts rise does cotton rise? Then why should better prices for cotton increase the value of other commodities? Strange that the max- infs of trade don’t apply sis vVell for the W. A. Jester has a new car load of Florida oranges.

Dr. Acker’s English pills are a positive cure for sick-headaclie and all lives troubles. They are small, sweet, easily taken and do not gripe. Eor sale by L. D. Sledge & Co. benefit of the farmer 'as to his injury. One trust is created to rai-e the p: i e of everything he buys and another : to de preciate the jmee of everything lie sells. o it is easily seen that’ lie suffers the effect of a double trust aud a double loss of his hard-earned money. Thus he goes on ’till his farm has to be mort gaged and on which the rate of interest is greater than he can make bn his in vestment. As a consequence it is a mere question of time as to when he will be wound up. The increase of wealth an nually, according to statistics over and above consumption, is $1,300,000,000. This wealth goes from the farm to the city. Middlemen are making fortunes handling the products of the farm, while manufacture! s are encouraged by the continuation of the war tariffs to exact large profits from the consumer either by reason of trusts or other combi nations. The mid dle men and manufacturers have a sen tinel on the watch tower.. This great representative of the commercial world —this especial guardian of -the .money; bags of the wealthy capitalists of the land. This great Bradstreet who sends out encouraging reports over the coun-. try that “there is nowhere any strin gency in money, the supply being am ple for all legitimate needs.” How. easy it is for a man who sits'by a warm glowing fire to pursuade himself that it is not at all cold outdoors where the bleak winds blow and the snow is drift- ing on the hillside. How easy it is for a man who fares sumptuously every day to console himself with tbe belief that there ifi no stringency in the food sup ply of; the world, while gaunt hunger many desolate sits enthroned'‘by hearthstones. It is not surprising that Bradstreet should see things thusly; but the aver age fanner fails to look through the same kind of “specks.” He is in no condition to appreciate Mr.Bradstreets’ encouragement when he has but one Lonesome Nickle in his pocket-book. ' Over-production- of tbe staple of cot ton ia claimed by some to be the reason why the pnee of cotton ranges so low. They talk about 7,000,000 bales as be- ingjmorethan the world needs. We pu,t in the face of an 8,500,000 bale erop an old Jew with an honest desire to lay by a few dollars for a rainy day; be steps between the producer and the factory door and up goes the price of cotton about a cent pei pound. To the regret of the farmer he didn’t stand there long enough. Don’t talk about ov«-r-produe- tion when the indisputable reports show that tbe spinners have for the first time in twenty years caught’up with the producers. If our people had plenty oLmoney and clothes yon might talk about over-pro duction. Our wants' and necessities keep even pace if not ahead of produc tion always. The luxuries of yesterday become the necessities of to-day, and the whims of to-day become the require ments of to-morrow. There can be no over-productiou of food products while so many are suffering from hunger,or of clothing when people are poorly clad. There may or may not be a surplus of cotton goods lying in the hands of the manufacturers. If, at any time, this is true, it is owing to the fact that the volume of money as a circulating medi um is too small. This will produce what seems to beia surplus caused by, not a want of desire, but a want of abil ity to purchase. Tne whole amount would be consumed if the people had the means to pay for it. In short, the medium of transfer is wanting. “There is something in the over-pro- d action theory when it comes to the product of mortgages. No insect can blight the mortgage crop. No drought can wither; no floods ean drown. Mon ey plants this crop In the richest soil, cultivates it with care and waters it with many bitter tears. Geo. T. M. Mike Doyal a Candidate for Collector at - Savannah. Washington, Dec.; 27.—[Special.]t+ A new candidate is in the field for the office of collector of the port of Sayan, nah—one Mike’Doyal,’ a giocCryinah, of that city and a staunch republican for many "years. It is said that the colored element in the republican patty in Georgia will urge Doyal’s appoint ment because of Tom Johnson’s ill- treatment of Devaux, when it was sug gested that he take him as his deputy collector at Savannah. Doyal is saitl to have a strong Irish influence in New York, Patrick Ford among others, and that he is working through these on Mr. Blaine or the president. Johnson, of course, has the backing of Colonel Bin. k and he re^u ' oin state organi zation. There is no new phase in the Macon postoffice matter. Loeke wired Judge Speer two days ago if he should regard the newspaper accounts of his opposi tion to him as authorized, but no reply has been received to the .message. A private letter received in Washington on yesterday states that Judge Speer is solicitous to keep Col. Tom Harde man in the Macon office, but the truth of this is doubted. His candidate is probably C. T. Ward, at one time ordi nary of Bibb county. The Washington daily papers all have highlyoxaggerated act mints of the Jesup riot. They claim that twenty negroes were killed. KILLED HIS LITTLE BROTHER. Fatal Result of Giving a Boy a Rifle for a Christmas Gift. Reading, December 27.—(Special) A sad Christmas tragedy occurred here today. Austin Hubert, aged 9, and his brother Oliver, aged To, were shooting at a mark in the yard of their father's residence with a rifle which had been presented to Oliver for a Christmas gift. While the boys were shooting Austin stepped between Oliver, who had the rifle, anil the target. The weapon suddenly discharged and the ball struck Austin and lodged in his heart He ran a few steps, crying “I’m shot,” when lie fell over and ex pired in the arms of his mother. Oliver, who did the shooting, was so overcome that he took to his bed and has been ill ever since. Woman’s Discovery. Another wounderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county.
