1888 .
This is the Presidential year and is
likely to prove of vast consequence.
If prophecies be in order Grover
Cleveland will be re elected Presi¬
dent with some good man as Vice
President. The contest in the north
and west will be bitter and unciviliz¬
ed with “the bloody shirt” as the
Radical Banner. The south will be
solidly democratic and the election
comparatively quiet.
Congress will hold a long session
with many difficult problems tosolve.
One thing will surely be done if the
Free Trade leaders will allow it, that
is the present tariff will be adjusted
on a revenue basis and the surplus
provided against. This cannot be
done by reading Mr. Randall out of
the democratic party. Any effort in
this direction is political madness and
will result most disastrously to the
party and the country. Another
thing that will be done is the repeal
of the Internal Revenue law. Pub¬
lic sentiment demands this and will
force the repeal. It is only a ques¬
tion of time—the Internal Revenue
system with its monstrous wrongs
must go. The hugest monopoly of
the present age is the“WhiskeyRing”
and a most dangerous foe to public
liberty. This concentrated power is
a fearful element in the politics of the
country. They have controlled elec¬
tions and legislation and are likely to
do so again. And besides they are
open enemies to the temperance
cause.
Eighteen hundred and eighty-eight
will be remarkable not only for po¬
litical excitement and political har-
j rangues but great moral social and
mechanical activity. A spirit of un*
| lest is abroad in the land and the de¬
sire is universal to better one’s condi¬
tion morally, socially and materially*
The experience of the last season
I has taught some valuable lessons and
pinching want will force economy
and energy and the outlook is hope
ful. Many are learning the valuable
lesson “to work more and buy less”
—to put on brakes betore the train
leaves the track. Debt is the fearful
simoon that is desolating this beauti¬
ful land of ours and bringing distress
and poverty in its pathway. Gen,
'1'ooms was wise and far-seeing in his
efforts many years ago to abolish all
collection laws and if it had been
done the condition of the people
would be now free and prosperous,
without entangling alliances, combi¬
nations and monopolies. May the
sun of that better day soon rise.

ITS CORRESPONDENTS.
Our county paper is and ought to
be the pride of every citizen, man,
woman and child in the county, and
the interest is greatly enhanced by
the local news from Cataula, Mulber¬
ry Grove, Blue Spring, Mountain
Hill, Whitesville, New Hope, Wis¬
dom's Store, Valley Plains, Chipley
and other points. Be it known to
these correspondents that they are
highly appreciated and give a valued
feature to the paper. Let us hjear
from you frequently. A& a y^hole
they are ! ighly creditable, often spicy
and witty and always newsy. Three
cheers for the Hamilton Journal’s
correspondents, both male and fe¬
male, and may their shadows never
grow less.
SUBSCRIBER AND READER.
We cannot agree with our esteemed
correspondent that the tax upon
whiskey and tobacco will be removed
or that it ought to be. As we have
endeavored to show in another article
the tax by the general government is
the only tax that will prevent the evil
of free whiskey. The states cannot
agree upon a uniform tax and as the)
cannot impose a tax upon any article
manufactured in another state, the
state having the lowest tax rate upon
the manufacture would flood the
other states with its production.
The law may forter the whiskey ring,
but it is decidedly better to “bear the
ills we hare than fly to others that we
know not of.” President Cleveland
is a safe ruler. He has proven
himself so. It is safer for democrats
to stand squarely upon the platform
he has laid down. He favors neither
free trade nor protection, except
incidentally,and his party is with him.
HOPE FOR CONSUMPTIVES.
A IVew Theory of the Dread Disease
Which Seems Very Sensible.
In fifty per cent, of the cases, con
sum ptionis only the symptons of some
other disease! The dsease, in such
cases, cannot be cured until the cause,
whatever it is, is removed, More
than half the victims of consumption
have albumen in thr water.
“What does this indicate?”
Albumen cannot appear in what
escapes from the body, if the organs
which take the water from the blood
are healthy.
We drink wa L er in large quantities
every day. This water goes through
the body and washes away the waste
matter and decay of the system, and
takes it to the kidneys. If these or
gans are healthy, this waste in solu
tion in the water is removed by them,
If not, the natural action* is reversed,
and, instead of removing the waste,
that poisonous stuff remains in the
blood, but the real life giving element
or the albumen escapes.
Fancy the effect!
This uric acid waste is a rank poison
and attacks the weakest organ first.
m1 I he Brompton n Hospital of , _ London, ,
; \ ’
England, shows . its that
in reports
over 52 per cent, of the victims q£
consumption really victims . . cf
are
kidney disease, the lung trouble being
shown , by the . of albumen
presence in
the blood to be but the indication of
. kidney . , derangement. , he
1 real cause
of pulmonary troubles being so au¬
thoritatively shown to be faulty even
through unsuspected action of the •
kidneys, explains why, in order to
master the dreaded consumption, or.e
must rid the blood of the uric acid
irritant, which inflames and burns up
the lung substance. For this purpose
there is nothing equal to that great
specific, Warner’s safe cure. Thi#
remedy has won the favor of medical
men all over the world, purely on its
merits. We have no doubt that if
the kidneys are kept in natural action
consumption and a great many other
diseases caused by uric acid will not
only be cured, but will be prevented.
J. W Westlake, of Mt. Vernon,
Ohio, had a sister residing in Michi¬
gan who was thought suiely to be
going with consumption. She took
ten bottles ot Warner’s safe kidney
cure, which he sent her and he says:
“That was the last 1 heard of her
consumption.” Thousands ot such
cases are developed every day.
Dip your finger in acid every day,
and it soon festers and is destroyed.
Send acid-poisoned blood through
the lungs every second and they
soon give way.
This then is the condition of
things that always precedes consump¬
tion : First, weakened kidneys: sec-
ond, retained uric acid, poisoning the
blood; the developement of disease
in the lungs by the irritant acids
passing through them. Then there
is a little cough in the morning; soon
thick yellow matter is spit up, follow
ed by loss of flesh and strength with
dreadlul night sweats; and when the
patient goes to his school physician
j for help he is put on cod liver oil,
which his stomach, weakened also by
uric acid in the blood, cannot digest.
j Because there is no pain present
in the kidneys, the patient does
not think they are affected,
! but the kidnt-y acid is doing
its work every minute, every
hour, day and night, and by and by
the disease of the lungs has advanced
until pus is developed, then comes
hemorrhages, and at last the glassy
stare of the eyes, which denote that
the end is near.
j A post mortem examination of such
j cases shows that the terrible uric acid
has completely destroyed the sub
stance of the lung,
It is impossible to cure lung dis¬
ease, when the blood is poisoned with
; uric acid,
