JIM HINES’ LAMENT.
Hang up the black alpaca coat,
liny by the platform dead,
And hush the campaign yawper’s throat,
Put ice upon my head;
For I am weak and weary,
Saddened, sick and sore,
And I feel a fainting dreary
I never felt before.
I stood me high upon the stump
And fired my loud bazoo,
I begged the boys to get on a bump
And try to pull me through.
I thrashed the air and worked my jaw
And had my tooters spout,
While Tommy Watson drew the crowds
And made the darkeys shout.
But the hurrah play is over,
The song aud dance is done,
The wagon boy’s iu clover,
My little race is run.
I’ll sit me down iu sad estate,
Put ashes upon my head
And learn me how a candidate
Feels when he is dead.
—Georgia Cracker.
One man meets the editor, who has
worried herself to death to get out the
best paper of his life, on his last issue,
and has prayed over the proof to remove
every objectional feature and make his
paper pleasant, and says: You ought to
try to improve your paper, and on en
quiry you will learu he has not read it.
But thanks to the Great Provider of all
good things, the next man you meet has
read it aud he says: You have made a
wonderful improvement iu your paper,
iu fact, it is the best county weekly in
the state. Amen.

the free coinage. The unlimited part of
the thing will destroy the money value

UNDER FALSE COLORS.
When you hear a man proclaiming
himself a “protection democrat’’ you
can set him down as a republican sailing
under false colors. There is no such a
thing as a “protection democrat.”—
Houston Post.
That’s right brother Post. But say
old mau did you know that the remark
is equally true about gold bugs? There
is no such a thing as a gold bug demo
crat, and any man who argues for a sin
gle standard aud claims to be a democrat
is sailing under false cover. The demo
cratic party is the only true bimetallic
party in the known world.

WHAT A PITY.
The mau more to be pitied than scorn
ed in this world is the poor thing who
thinks those who differ with him in re
ligeou, politics or business is his enemy.
The truth is a man who thinks this way
has not brains enough to grease a gim
let, for we neyer learn anything from
those who agree with us. We might
deliberately assume a thing, as we often
do, aud live a lifetime under the delu
sion if somebody was not his own thinker
and differed with us, thus causing us to
consider the reasons he gave for his be
lief. If we have any enemies they are
our dupes and apes, for says the great
book, “A man’s enemies are they of
his. own house.”

vide a standard of value and to c:.in me

not carry on a banking business. Jf'e

shall, with the development of a banking
system adequate to the demands of trade,
retire as rapidly as possible all its legal
tender paper money”—.

MONEY.
The best definition that we have seen
of money is by Francis A. Walker, a
leading American economist, which is
this: “Money is that which passes freely
from hand to hand, throughout the com
munity, in final discharge of debts and
full payment of commodities, being ac
cepted equally without reference to the
character or credit of the person who
offers it, and without U't.-ntiouof the per
son who receives it to consume it or enjoy
it or apply it to any other use than in
turn tender it to others in discharge of
debts or payment of commodities.”
Money is often spoken of loosely as
the same thing as capital, but it is a
mistake, A railroad or a mill is capital
but not money.
We have an iustanco in history where
the mistake of regarding capital money
lead to a great panic and loss to the people.
Iu issuing the French assignats on the
security of forfeited land estates, each as
signat was a promise to pay; but when
payment was demanded, it could not be
made, because land was not a medium
for making it. Land is not money. For
this reason gold and silver are univer
sally preferred for money because they
are not a promise to pay but are pay itself.
This idea of comfounding capital and
money is the mistake of the populist par
ty today, and if their minds could bo
disabused of this Watsonism they
would flock to the Democratic party and
help restore silver to its birthright, and
forever give up their fiat money fallicies.

ment of E. 11. Branneu, a practical ma

in recommending him to all, as a gentle
man and a mechanic. My barn and con
tents were burned, which of course crea
ted a great heat, my engine was under
the fire, I had rolled it out among the
rubbish, and learning of Mr. Brannen,
I sent for him. The wheels were broker
and it seemed that nothing could b
done for them. He told me he could fi>
it. I told him that he could try then.
He fixed my engine and it runs like a
new one today.
I write this voluntarily. Mr. Brannen

IS TOO MUCH C OTTO IS RAISED?
What a Prominent Cotton Factor
lias to Say About It.
Do we make too mucn cotton?
“Prices,” said a prominent factor
Saturday, “can never improve as
long as our planters persist in mak
ing mote ot'lho staple than can be
consumed/’
‘Tf two-thirds were raised/' con
tinued he, “it would bring as much
money a3 a big crop. This tact
ought to be impressed on the far
mers. Cotton is 21 2 cents cheap
er today than it was on the same
date last year, and the price has
been going down at corresponding
rate lor the last three years
‘‘The truth about it is that those
who bought cotton two ytears ago on
the idea that it had reached rock
bottom haven’t got rid of it all yet,
and they are afraid to load up
again.
‘ There is a large increase of acre
age over last year, and in the states
beyond the Mississippi river the
crop is unusually good, Texas has
a magnificent crop and in Georgia
and South Carolina it is prettv lair,
with a somewhat increased acreage,
“Therefore it may be assumed
that the production will go largely
over 8,000,000 bales. This tact,
with some of last year’s crop still
in sight, would seem to render the
prospect foi better prices very un
favorable,
“The receipts are not as large as
they should be with the prospect oi
such a large crop in sight. This is
due in some measure to the heavy
rains in August and September,
which delayed the crop to some ex
tent. And then a great many lar
mars are holding their cotton for
better prices. I fear, however, that
they are doomed Jo- disappoint
ment. As I said'before, their only
salvation on this line is to plant
less.” —Constitution,
All the above that refers to there
oeiug to much cotton planted is true
but this deceitful estimate is the
rouble. There is no eight million
;rop on hand and nobody believes
here is. The crop is correctly
shown by the receipts -jto no
rain nor'nothing; else keeps i.^ from
.■omiiig in but that it is not made so
far as Georgia is concerned the crop j
s badly off and seven millions is
in over estimate.
