estljli- niea/Ju/of gjng you to come up to the full
their faithful performance.
In tlm couiso of this charge I shall use
some storng language, mid l believe that
the ex'sting state of affairs demands It.
It is a question which has been seriously
discussed in every age of the world,s his¬
tory whether or not mankind is capable of
proper self-government. 1 shall not un¬
dertake on this occasion to answer tills
question, but I do assert that if the peo¬
ple of tills couutrv are incapable of prop¬
erly governing themselves, it Is mainly
due to the fact that persons In official
stations are negligent, inefficient, or
worse than all, corrupt in discharging the
duties of their offices. If you as members
of the Grand Jury will do your whole
duty, earnestly and impartial)’, and if the
mefnbers of the traverse Jury will in like
maimer discharge their duty, a great deal
will be accomplished towards making the
courts respectable, and teaching the peo¬
ple to feel that they are places to which
they can confidently appetil for the redress
of their wrongs and protection in tho en¬
joyment of their rights. Too many guil¬
ty men have been acquitted by the courts
of this State. This fact encourages the
i«wles« b> the commission of crimes, and
oi r:i o§ the law-abiding In appealing
irts. This very tiling is the ori
he pretext for mob law, which is
angerous, and subversive of the
!, inf rests of society. You have a law
ys that a murderer shall lie Iiueg,
t irglar shall be inpri.xoncd in the
iary that a man who carries a
negated shall be punished by fine
im; soiiment, and yet murders, bur¬
nt uid misdemeanors are committed
ay. If those who thus violate the
;w with exact certainly that the
uid juries would indict them, and the
ver e juries would convict them you
o ') certainly see the cominls«ion of
oi< diminished in thin country. I do
. ; you, gentlemen—or I lie gentle
i this traverse Jury, to <io one tiling
- ban the law requires, or to step be¬
ts demands, but I do with the ut
ist arnestness urge and recommend
tchandaliuf you go to the full
extent in the discharge of your
give duties. Let it be understood
er this land, that its grand jurors wil]
ntlv inquire and faithfully present
ople who break the law, whether
> be high or low, rich or poor, promi
or obscure, and let the conviction be
jssed on the minds of the public that
i criminals are indicted, and the
f authorizes it, they will bo convicted
and punished, and you will have the grati
fication of soon perceiving that better or
der will prevail, and that bad men will no
j longer dare to commit crimes with such
reckless impunity. Another important
I matter 18 thl *> P *- fore 1,18 can fce
' come thoroughly efficient, they must be
: sustained by a refined and elevated pub
, lie sentiment. Judges are powerless, and
juries are unable to stand up in the
j forma:,ce of their obligation unit their

is approved by the masses of the people.
It Is ft common thing when one has com¬
mitted a crime to find people sympathiz¬
ing with the criminal, and aiding him In
every way to escape the consequences ot
nis crime, but how seldom do we see any
aid or comfort given to the officers of the
law In bringing criminals to punishment.
This state of affairs should cease, and the
good people of the country should sustain
their courts in all proper efforts to admin¬
ister justice. It is an easy tiling to criti¬
cise, abuse and deride judges and juries,
and find fault with their conduct, but it
would be far better for the entire com¬
munity if the people generally would use
as much energy in sustaining and encour¬
aging these officials as they often use In
endeavoring to destroy their Influence and
their power for good. I earnestly desire
to see the day come when every man who
lias been wronged or injured may feel
that bo can come to the courts of bis coun¬
try with the assurance that the right,
tiling will bo done, and full and ample
justice administered, and when the wick¬
ed and lawless will feel afraid to defy the
law, and to be arraigned before its tribu¬
nals. This is what we need, but what we
will never have until every man officially
connected with the courts discharges
all his duties with an hono.4 regard for
his oath of office, and a sincere purpose to
his whole duty.
The Judge then proceeded to instruct
the grand jury specifically as to their
duties in looking after tho county affairs,
tho public records, and the conduct of tho
county officials, generally; and also called
their special attention to tho different
class -sof crime concerning which the law
lias made it his duty specially to charge
them. Me urged the Jury to enforce firm¬
ly and rigidly tho laws regulating tho
whiskey traffic, expressed tile opinion that
tho prohibition law had already accom¬
plished muMi good in tho counties where it
prevailed, aad appealed strongly to the
grand jury in this county, where liquor
may be sold lawfully, to see to it that
every man engaged in this business com¬
plies fully with the luw. lie directed
their speclaly lUenUon to the great im¬
portance of protecting tho youth of the
land—Its hope for the future—from tho
n vils of intempreance and the train of woe
and wisely which follows In Its .

It is tills, be constitutions of utflrTsouti
try, both State and Federal, guarantee to
every citizen perfect freedom of religious
sentiment, and every man lias the right
to worship God-tbe great maker of the
universe, and tho author ot all law—in
such manner and formas lie may deem
acceptable and no man lias the right to
interfere with or disturb any congrega¬
tion assembled for tins good purpose. If
one must lie a brute, and must behave in
a disorderly, riotous or vulgar manner,
there is plenty of space all over this conn -
try for the performance of such acts,
without going to the churches and dis¬
turbing the people when engaged in their
worship, and 1 promise you, gentlemen,
that if any persons are convicted before
me of this offense, l will make examples
of them lor tho warning of all others who
may be similarly disposed.
The Judge then commented upon
various other crimes, including carrying
concealed weapons, gambling, receiving
slolen goods, etc., etc., there
lie then said: Gentlemen, were
three offenses known to the caminon law
called forestalling, regrstlng and engross¬
ing which you will not find described in
our code, but which are, nevertheless,
offenses against the laws of Georgia.
The law against them lias stood for years
practically a dead letter, and l doubt
even now it the courts of this State have
the power to punish these offenses,
because they are perpetiated by persons
and corporations residing In d flerent
state of the Union, who can probably bc
r cached only through Congressional
legislation an<1 the Federal emits
Although this may be true, I will venture
perhaps a little beyond the exact lines
within which this charge should be eon
fined because the la v against these
offenses suggests reflections upon a sub¬
ject of the very greatest importance to tli
people of this country. Taken collec¬
tively these offenses consist of any soit
of combination between capitalists, the
surpose of which is to increase the
price of the necessaries of life beyond
wliat. that price should be, under tho
law of supply and demand. The truth
is, our English ancestors on the other
side of the Atlanta centuries ago had
’ more wisdom upon this very subject than
j our law makers have, even in this day
j of boasted learning and advancement,
; They deemed and adjudged those who
| were live guilty in their of this grand offenses old island, unworthy and

and the remote islands of the sea, as,

combination ire possible, and possible
only, beeay of the prseent tariff system.
It Is not my purpose to make a political
speecli, or to discuss the trail! guest ions,
but 1 simply allude to tills subject to
arouse your attention to this great ques.
tion, ami to awaken tiirouglit you the
people of this country to the assertion ot
their rights. There are more than sixty
millions of people in the United States, of
vrnom perhaps eiglity pen centa. are
farmers, producing nothing but ra W
mattcrial, upon which they have uo
protection, and paying either to the ,
government orjto a favored class an
enormous tax upon every menu foe tured
aiticle they use. ltetief will never come
until Congress, by suitable legislation,
gives it to the people. You have tbo
power to demand this relief, and you will
receive it when you demand it in the
right way- ldo not mean to assert that
the people of Georgia, by thomselves, can
bring about this result; but I do mean td
say fiat whenever the agricultural mas¬
ses of tills country from the lakes
to the gulf and from the Atlantic to where
the Pacific meets the setting mu, in tlm
iiingnitudde of their power demand
through tho ballot box relief
from their grievances, it will come like
ilie mighty waves of the sea. It Is said
that If the tariff be revised, the man*
ufneturers of this country will be ruined,
I do not believe this, lint even if It were
so, tlie farmers of tills country will surely
bo ruined beyond hope, If the present sys
tent continues. Tito question therefore
is, shall the vast mojority bo utterly
wrecked tor the sake of a small minority?
1 wish the people to I,. aroused upon tilts
matter, and to sue the day come speedily
when the many shall cease to he hewers
of wood and drawers of water for the
favored few. I trust yon, gentlemen,
will purdom mo if, in commenting, upon
