Constitution.] ‘ [Sunday’s To be rich is no sin. It is Iionoru hie. It dignifies a man provided he accumulated fairly. Abraham was rich and so was Solomon and .lob. The i sin is in using riches for selfish purpo ses-in worshipping money for money’s sake. The parable of Dives and rus settled the principle for all times. Riches are a blessing to the world. Rich men build railroads and steam ships and iiou works and tnctoiics and colleges and asylums for orphans. If all the wealth in the land was e(| 11 a!! - distributed, these things would not he done. Somebady has to he pro to make them inrentivo and eneigetic. Necessity is the mother of invention It never was intend.' t that everybody should be rich. Some have to be hew ers of wood and drawers of water, and they have their comforts, too, for riches bring c.tre and trouble. The law of compensation comes into every- nbrtgage, and so the syndicate lets it r ' a t) ie d jj and like the devil, av run kill more people and get sued more a.,d itfjg care less about it, and by and by put in the hands of a receiver and s'.jiya there until it Is run down so low tnb creditors sell out for a song, and t! > syndicate buys it at their own pd. - It really never cost hut about tv alto thousand dollars a mile, for th .t was all that the toilers who did work got ; the men with pick and g |, , V(J ] ail( j ax an( j s t,one iuimmer ; the tolers of the saw mill and those who tu de the iron and the steel and built the eats. The other forty thou sand dollars was the bonds of the schemers. T1 iy gfit that, and then let the road rui itself just tor the fun of the thing. How can an old fashion railroad eon ten,! with a new fashioned one? Our people say, “Oh, well, we have gut a ro. add our people didn’t have to suMtcribe a dollar, and it is all right.” Maybe it is. hut it is just such schem¬ ing that arrays our people against these cOi potations,these rootless corporations thik you can’t sue, or if you do and gl\ a judgment it is not worth a cent. Iti^a bad example and demoralizes ou'Hieople. They see how these t'el lev I'hgot rich without work—how easy lt. 'tu seheni” out. a fortune by build ■ :iivv);ul or a new town, or get ij. n %i futures, an i they >v..at to do so i too. it does not matter who is fleeced , so they fallen. II laig is a lamentable fact J that u ost ail 1 he - fortunes Unit | Slave been made in Georgia since the t war have been made by que lionabh met oils. They were not fairly m ide. AS th -y got rich somebody eise got poor. They added nothing to the >»! ties of the count ry. Whenever I tear I of getting rich ill year or | | a mao one two years, 1 know that so ii“h > ly has suffered. Getting rich honestly is a slow process, hut these are the only kind of riches that people respect. I mean the working people, the toilers of the laud, the men who do add to values and sustain tlie country. They honor such men as. Peter Coo, er, and despiw such as Jay Gould. There are rich men who have power and use it, and who think themselves secure, hut they aie not. Law and peace protects them, hut they would ue the first to fall in a revolution. But I cannot sen why anybody should have prejudice against our old time honored railroads—the roads that arc owned by our own people and have never made more than a reasonable per cent, and what they made was not hop.r<ied hut paid out to t hose who needed it and were entitled to it. They used to charge us live cents a mile, but their own int.eie.M would kavc nduced it Jong before this witho ut a commis¬ sion. Competition would have reduced it. I don’t think the commission is hurting the railroads hut nonody likes to have tin autocrat overlooking his business. But the people are tired of tiiis con¬ troversy and so let it rest awhile. The truth is, the people can: very little about it. Tlie controversy has cost the state a power of money and settled nothing to speak of. It lias only made up an issue for politicians and an issue j j was what they wanted disturb I reckon. effect The controversy does not nor ! me nor my neighbors, I don’t think j that Mr. Cotton, Mr. Bradley, Mr. nor Buford, Mr. Miles, Mr. nor nor nor i Rowland, nor Naoor freeman, caie a cent which whips. if there i* a tsrogi-r I in it we are not af raid. We don’t I | travel much and we ship very little ! > freight. Our mereliauts are interested, • I reckon, hut they say they sell as Cheap as Atlanta, and Atlanta swears she is underselling New York ; so let it rip. Br.t I i’aii tell you what does hurt, and it. L I ir Ml. It 1 • a 1*2 ^ UK 1 ifiouey bribe tho| thing. A poor m in’s children gener ally turns out as well as a rich man’s, In fact, it is safer to stait a young man with a little than a good deal. It is a most pitiful sight to see a jmxmg man loafingaround,waiting for.his lieli father to die. Noholy ought to been vious of a rich man, for lie lias his share of trouble in this life, and more than his share of peril in the next. The rich against the poor and the poor against the rich The times seem ominous with evil, and it till comes from the worst class of rich men ami poor men. There are rich men who are generous and ho lest, and accumu¬ lated tneir riches by fair and legiti¬ mate means. There are poor men who toil without murmuring, and have no feelings of envy or covetousness. Indeed there is no happier relation be¬ tween men than that which exists be¬ tween a good hearted, industrious ten¬ ant anu a generous landlori, or be¬ tween a poor, den! i Du;, lab n-.tr and a kill'd, considerate employer. T ie das i that makes all It. tu ts and 1 >' the public tranuudit' mi l alar n t *» nation'is the money tricksters and 1 .-p.-cuhtf >rs on the one side and the lazy v igab mds on Fie other.

It lilroa 1 <: mioaaies used to he honest and were th ■ ;>ri i • of our pfeople. Honest money and liouest lib thods built the Georgia railroad and the Central and theWest Point. Nearly till the stock in them was subscribed and paid by Georgians, and l am glad to kuow that a majority of iL is still still owned by our citizens. The noble hearted patriots who built these roads have gone to their rest, hut a large amount of the stock is still owned by their children. Li that day tlie meth¬ ods of our fathers was simple and open to the world.They subscribed their mon¬ ey and paid it when t was w i Red a id the road was build, ami go • 1 men like John P. King were put in charge ; and there was no want of commission, and nobody even dreamed of placing such a power over them, Tiio old stage coaches used to charge us ten cent a mile and we were required to pay a railroad half that sum and ride like a princely gentleman. But the war’not only impoverished our railroads, hut it brought in its wake new methods and new desires. The railroads wanted to make up their losses too soon, and forgot that the people were as poor as the reals and poorer. Why the good old Central charged us six dollars from Atlanta to Macon just after the war, and the leg- I islature of ’65 passed a law compelling | them to fall hack to their charter, which was five gents a miie. The btw makers all had free passes to Milledge-’ then, but the passes dident ke p that legislature from getting after the rail roads, and the next time tie members traveled they had to pay five dollars and five cents for the 10L miles. That odd five cents had to come every pop. The railroads were not overly greedy. They were just like other p- >•> e nd other enterprises—they wanted divi donds—everybody wanted dividends out of something. There was a great wreck —a wreck of pub crei ,ij iud jo! started again. Since that day our railroads have had to contend with new and new systems inaugurated by from the north, and that Is Vhere all the devilment lias come from, *Ve never heard of pools before the var, nor W cut rates, nor secret re „.>ates. It used to c >st about, twenty *'iousiiud doll.-tr^is ^ milo to build a rail l( iad, hut now iron is cheaper and . costs about sixty thousand » Ollars a tnile.
