NO INCKEANE OF NAI.ARV.
Some of the Populist orators make
a great blow about Democrats voting
to increase their salary twelve hun
dred dollars per year. The Demo
crats have never voted for any such a
measure. A bill did pass the Fifty
second Congress allowing members
a sum not to exceed one hundred dol
lars per month during the sitting of
Congress for clerk hire. Many mem
bers do not reach the limit allowed
them. Take Major Black, of the
Tenth district. He hires a stenogra
pher when he needs one and pays the
stenographer for the amount of work
he does. Some months Major Black
probably pays out the full hundred
dollars, and others he does not reach
the prescribed limit. Other members
have followed Major Black's example.
Not a single Congressman's salary
has been increased. The Congress
men get five thousand dollars per an
num as their salary, and they have
not been increased one hundred dol
lars per month, for this hundred dol
lars is allowed for clerk hire. Thf
Populist members of Congress take
this hundred dollars per month and
hire a clerk with it.
Since such a to-do has been made
about this, let’s see how much it costs
the government. There are 366 Con
gressmen. Say each man is # allowed
one thousand dollars per annum for
clerk hire; then 356 equals $356,000,
or about one-third of a million dol
lars. Or say that each member pays
out $1,200 per annum for clerk hire,
then the whole amount paid out under
this head would equal $427,200, or
not quite half million of dollars. This
half million dollars item is cited as en
example of Democratic extravagance.
Not a half million dollars for this, and
yet in the Agricultural Department
alone there has been saved over two
millions of dollars—more than four
times as much as is spent for clerk
hire. In the Interior Department
about thirty millions of dollars has
been saved the people—just sixty
times as much as clerk hire oost the
people. In the Treasury Department,
in the Civil Service and other depart
ments several thousands have been
saved by an economical administra
tion of the officers. Nsarly one hun
dred times as much as the item for
clerk hire has been turned into the
Treasury by the economy of the pub
lic officers.
But let’s see what the Populists
would have cost the country had they
been in power and the bills they in
troduced become laws. The famous
Weaver bill, re-introduced in this Con
gress, to pay Union soldiers the dif
ference between greenbacks and gold,
would have cost the people about five
hundred millions of dollars, or just
about one thousand tim s as much as
the clerk hire account. The Coxey
bill, introduced by Davis and cham
pioned by Pence and others, giving
employment to five hundred thousand
men on some public works, would
have cost several millions of dollars.
And yet the two by-four Populists
complain about Democratic extrava
gance. This little clerk hire bill costs
not quite half a cent per capita per
annum, whil* the purchase of, the
railrop.ds, telegraph and telephone
lines would cost about S2OO per capita.
In one hundred years it will cost
about fifty cents per capita to pay the
clerk hire bill, while it will cost two
hundred dollars, or just four hundred
times as much to buy the railroads
as the little clerk bill will cost in a
century. ______________
In discussing Georgia’s present and
probable Congressmen in our last
issue we said that Hon. H. G. Turner
is the Representative from the Second
district and Hon. Ben E. Russell is
the Representative from the Eleventh.
This is a mistake, and should have
been Hon. Ben E. Russell of the Sec
ond and Hon. H. G. Turner of the
Eleventh. Also, in discussing the
number of conferees of the tariff, we
said there were four from the Senate
and four from the House. We should
have said four Democrats from each
body, who virtually settle the points
of difference.
THAT PENSION REDUCTION.
Isn't it strange that men who once
belonged to the Democratic party —
men who now claim to be Jeffersonian
Democrats—will have such extreme
hatred for the party, that they are far
more bitter against it than they are
the Republican party? It is a strange
thing, yet it is true.
Only last week we were greatly
surprised to see an article in the
Georgia Populist, written by Colonel
Mahaffey, headed “Democratic Mis
representation,” in which he says
neither of the two old parties, the
Democratic nor the Republican, and
especially the former, can be relied on
to reduce pensions. He tried to show
that the amount spent for pensions
under a Democratic administration
has been increased instead of dimin
ished.
He has since been shown his error,
and said that the Atlanta Constitution
led him to make the mistake, and
says he will correct it in this week’s
issue of that paper.
We can’t see why he should have
been lead into such an inexcusable
error, when The Atlanta Journal, the
Gainesville Eagle and The Jackson
Herald all had articles previous to
that showing a saving of several mil
lion dollars to the Treasury by the
present Secretary of the Interior De
partment. Besides, he surely knew
he was misrepresenting the Democrats
when he said that the Democrats
especially cannot be relied on to re
duce pensions. The Republican’s
stock in trade is abuse of the Demo
crats for reducing pensions. The
Democrats have always been called
enemies to the Union soldiers.
During the discussion of the pensk n
appropriation bill in the Senate last
week, Mr. Gallinger, a Republican
Senator, hsd this to say:
“Beyond a doubt $26,000,000 have
been saved to the Government, but
think of the loes in respect for the
nation and in patriotic admiration for
our Government that must necessarily
result. As the New York Press has
well said, saving has been accomplish
ed by a wicked warfare on the old sol
diers, their widows and their orphans.”
This is sufficient proof for our
neighbor that the Democrats especi
ally can be relied on to reduce pensions
THE COINAGE OF MILVER.
The United States government is
now coining silver dollars. It is coin
ing the bullion purchased under the
Sherman act.
Secretary Carlisle put the mints to
work last week, and the first day
$175,000 were coined. This coinage
the Secretary of the Treasury pro
poses to continue at the rate of about
one million dollars per month for the
present A little later on the amount
coined per month will be increased.
The Populists have about reduced
their charges against the Democratic
party to one, namely—they say “the
Democrats struck down silver.” They
tell, in words of bitterness and
vehemence, that not one dollar is now
being coined. The Democrats have
never “struck silver down.” A silver
dollar has the same purchasing power
now that it did before the repeal of the
purchase clause of the Sherman act.
They did not take one silver dollar
from circulation, and did not “strike
down” a silver dollar in circulation.
They have not demonetized silver,
as some of the Third party men claim.
Demonetize means to deprive of value
as a money metal, or to withdraw
from circulation. The Democrats
have not deprived silver of its money
value, but repealed that purchase
clause in order that silver might main
tain its money value. Neither have
they withdrawn one dollar that was
already in circulation. So we see
that silver has not been demonetized,
but the coinage was only temporarily
suspended.
Now, that the coinage of silver has
commenced again, the Populists can’t
reiterate their oft repeated charges
against the Democrats of demoniti
zation and say that not a dollar is
being coined. They will have to hus
tle around awhile and scare up some
other charge against the party.
Don’t forget to come out next Tues
day and hear Hon. R L. Berner.
ONE OF COL. TWITTI’N BLUFFS.
‘•Mr. Twitty, in his speech last Sat
urday, said the reason why the Dem
ocratic speakers are Eot meeting him
in joint debate this year is because
‘they have nothing to say.’ ”—Cleve
land Progress.
When did Mr. Twitty ever invite
any Democrat to meet him in joint
debate and the Democrat refused?
Who was the Democrat that was afraid
to meet the great mrg'il of Third
partyism in the Ninth Congressional
district? Who is the man? 'Where
does he live? What does he do?
And when did Colonel Twitty issue a
challenge to the Democrats of Geor
gia to meet him?
Not only can Colonel Twitty find
plenty of Democrats in Georgia who
would gladly meet him in joint dis
cussion, anywhere and at any time,
but right here in Jackson county he
can find Democrats who will meet him
in joint debate in every county in the
Ninth Congressional district.
WINDER.
While seated by a bed of beautiful
pansies, a few days since, examining them
intently, 1 was asked by a young Ger
man, who chanced to pass by, if 1 knew
what his people called them. Answering
in the negative, he replied: “We call
them steep mootre,” meaning step
mother.
This reminds me of a little story l have
heard of the pansy, and from the question
of my young friend, I know it must be
of German origin. This is the story :
A king married, and his queen bore
him two daughters and then died. He
then married again, and by this second
marriage likewise had two daughters.
This second queen was very unkind to her
step-daughters, taking all of the laded
clothing of their half sisters and compell
ing them to wear them, and even forcing
the two girls to sit on one chair. The
two top petals of the pansy represent the
step-daughters. If you notice you will
see that these are never so highly colored
as the other petals unless the flower is
solid color, and hence suggest the faded
garments of the sisters. By pulling out
these petals you will find that they both
grow from one opening in the calix, and
this represents the two step-daughters on
one chair. To her own daughters she
was exceedingly kind, giving them fine
clothing and allowing each to sit on a
chair by herself. The two petals below
the ones already mentioned, one on each
side, are the second queen’s own
daughters These are more highly
colored, and by pulling them off you find
that each comes from a single opening.
The queen, though she may have loved
all the girls, cherished the sentiment of
the old song, and “loved herself the best,’’
and hence she sat upon two chairs, and
wore more gaily colored clothing even
than her daughters. Pull out the fifth
or bottom petal of the pansy, which rep
resents the queen,and you find twoopen
ings in the calix, or the two chairs upon
which she sits. Now examine, and see if
this petal is not more highly colored than
the others. While the queen was unkind
to her step-daughters, she was even more
unkind to the king, for she compelled
him to sit on the floor with his feet in a
tut of hot water. After the petals are
stripped from the flower what remains
represents the king upon the floor. If
you notice closely you will see a combi
nation of filaments just opposite the stem,
and taking hold of this and pulling, you
detach a little sack, which represents the
tub of water, and two pistils within rep
resent his feet. Thus we have the name
of step-mother for the pansy.
We have a great many beautiful stories
among the German people, and those
who would like to get an excellent book
for their children would do well to buy
the stories Of Hans Christean Andersen.
It does not cost much, and will interest
the older members of the family as well
as the little folks.
