REPLY TO MR. REDMAN.
Eds. Argus : -I noticed in the
Inst igsvipof your paper a letter
•Tom (.’has. L. Redman, to which I
wish to make brief reply. Mr. Red
man seems to be somewhat enthus
ed in regard *o the government
ownership of railroads and refers us
to other countrueg which he say*
own and operates them successful
ly. Mr Redman, we declared in
dependence of other countries long
ago, and wc do not propose for
other countries to dictate to us, and
we as a people propose to be intelli
gent, energetic, and ambitious
enough to paddlj our own canoe
There ig first about as much reasoi
in the government ow ning and con
trolling our lands and mules as
there in in owning and operating
on: railroads.
About 1940 the state of Georgia
built a road from Atlanta to Chat
tanooga, 130 miles long, which it
owned and operated, and asked and
received from $20,000 to $50,000
annual appropriation to keep it in
order. After the war and recon
struction of tli3 state, the legisla
lure passed an act to lease the road
which was leased hv the joe Brown
Company for 20 years, at $30,000
per month, which was paid prompt
ly at tn expiration of each month
and now 11 e railroad is leased to
the Louisville & Nashville R, R.
Company for $35,000 per month,
without any expense. Now if this
is not sufficient proof that private
railroad owners can operate rail
roads more successfully than cor
porations and syndicates, 1 will
acknowledge that lam in absolute
ign trance of the whole affair.
We acknowledge that some coun
tries own and operate their roads,
and they are the countries that
have an absolute monarchial gov
eminent, but that is no reason why
we should want one. Now, Mr.
Redman, for information You
say when we yet free coinage of
silver and plenty of money issued,
et<‘. I ask upon whtrt basis are you
anticipating theissue of ibis enor
mous amount of money ? Suppose,
the government corns all of the
silver bullion in the vault* of New
York, and puts it in circulation, it
would take up all the silver certifi
cates and we would have no more
money than if it remained where it
is as a basis, and silver certificates
issued upon it to the full value
thereof, and as to government
bonds there has already been thous
ands of dollars worth of them issued
and we don’t think it likely to come
from that source. To say nothing
of Coxey's organized band of
tramps that have so annoyed the
northern states, we have had more
idlers in the South since the organi
zation of the third party than was
ever known before, and they seem
to expect some great gift from the
government, and they will sit on
the stool of do-nothing, whittle
goods boxes and curse the govern
ment because they don't bring it
along. As the lonesome sound of
the hooting owl may he heard
from tire dismal swamp, so can the
perpetual cry of the goods-box
whitilers ; “Give us more money.”
I readily acknowledge my inability
to solve these problems ot mystery,
but when we hear from you again
we hope all will be made clear as a
beautiful morn when the mists have
cleared away.
W. 11. Whaley.
THREE KINDS OF THEM.
From The Americus Times-Recorder.
To The Times-Recorder—l used to
think I knew what a “bimetallist” was,
but 1 don’t think that I do now, there
seem* to he so many mixed breeds of
this species. Canyon give a definition
of the term? Respectfully, W. B. H.
There are at present three kinds of
this animal known to naturalists, though
the coming campaign may develop oth
ers.
1. There is the original double-jointed
bimetallist, who holds the orthodox
creed, believing that bimetallism means
the free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver, without discrimination,
of standard money of final payment at a
standard ratio fixed by law.
2. There is the buy-metallist, who be
lieves that the only way to keep silver
money afloat at par is to buy it in or
redeem it in gold obtained with bonds
sold to Wall street; thus making silver
coin a debt or liability of the govern
ment, instead of legal tender t.o pay debt*
with.
Secretary Carlisle is a buy-metallist in
both theory and practice, especially in
practice as the fast disappearing gold
reserve shows.
M. Then there is the by-and-by-metal
list who favors the coinage of silyer in
the sweet by and by, when England con
sents to permit the United States to run
its own government without control
from Lombard street. As the single
gold standard enables England to con
trol and manipulate the finances of the
world, and collect back two dollars prin
cipal, besides interest, for every dollar
she has lent other nations, England will,
of course, be delighted to forego her ad
vantage, through an “internatiomal agree
ment”—in the sweet by and by.
The president of the United States is a
by-and-by-metallist.

Mis. M. V. Moore, better known as
“Betsy Hamilton” gave a highly enjoya
ble entertainment to an appreciative au
dience. Th 5 threatening weather pre
vented many from going, hut those who
attended are profuse in their admiration
of “Betsy,” and her humorous charac
ters. Those who stayed away missed
the treat of their lives as it was the most
enjoyable entertainment eyer given in
Jackson.
Judge Bartlett is a friend of the work
ing classes, and this is the kind of legis
lators we need in congress.- He preaches
no gold hug doctrine, hut stick close to
Jeffersonian democracy, and Whitfield
and Cabauiss will find that the working
classes are decidedly in the majority in
this section, and Charlie Bartlett’s influ
ence in congress will he strongly felt.
Judge Carmichael, who lias been at
tending the ordinaries c invention lias
returned. He says the ordinaries’ from
all over the country report no gain for
the populists, except in Bartow. Dr.
Felton has turned over with his influence
to his former supporters who proceeded
him.
The “Betsy Hamilton” entertainmen
was a success.
The crops in Butts are the best that
hrve ever been on the land.

Indiana contributed her thousands of brave
soldiers to the war, and no state bears a bet
ter record in that respect than it does. In
literature it is rapidly acquiring an
enviable place. In war and literature
Solomon Yewell, well known as a writer a9
"Sol,” has won an honorable posit ion. Dur
ing the late wai he was a member of Cos. M,
id. N Y, Cavalry and of the 13th Indiana In
iantry Volunteers. Regarding an important
circumstance he writes as follows:
‘ Several of us old veterans here are using
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine, Heart Curs
and Nerve and Liver Pills, all of them giving
spienaid satisfaction. In fact, we have never
used remedies that compare with them. Of
the Piiis w e must say they are the best com
bination of the qualities required in a prep
aration of their nature we nave ever known,
h e have none but words of praise ior them.
They are the outgrowth of anew principle in
medicine, and tone up the system wonder
fully. We say to all, try these remedies."
