PROSPEROUS GEORGIA.
The Accumulation of Mortgages is
Smaller in Only Two States.
In pursuit of their efforts to
make the people of Georgi a be¬
lieve that they are oppressed and
misreable, the populist orators
dwell frequently upon the alleg
ed fact I hat mortgage, have ac
cumulated to a lrigllttul extent
in this state.
If the populist demagogues had
cared to know and tell the true
condition of alfairs, they could
have discovered easily that the
mortgage indebtedness of Geor
j g.a per caoita is remarkably light
in comparison with that of nearly
every other state in the Union.
In fact, it IS smaller ,i only , in ,, tlie
! j two states of North and South
I ri Carolina. r

figures of mortgage indebtedness
per capita as given by a special

The rights of Hie people were
further protected by the Demo¬
cratic Congress by the repeal of
the villainous piece of Republican
legislation known as the bayonet
election law.
The Democrats have repealed
the Republican McKinley robber
tariff bill, enacted a tariif bill
which makes an average reduction
of 63 per cent., thus relieving the
people to that extent. The Dem
ocratic House of Representatives
was prompt in obeying the de¬
mand of the people for relief from
a tariff which was sapping the
life-blood from the masses and
giving it monopolies. In I he Sen¬
