Olfidal Paper of all tbc Officers
of Spalding County and City
of Griffin
Grandpa Harrison would rather
he married a second time than run
for president again. There waa
never any disoount op the personal
bravery of the old “Tippecanoe”
stock, but there is sometimes rash¬
ness in choosing the greater of two
hazardou s undertaking s.
The humor of Ham, tire Georgia
Cracker man, suffers no diminution
with advancing years. In the same
column he protests against mixing
national and State issues in one
ocmvention, and then goes on to ad-
i the election of every offlocr,
^lo^Btate and county, on. one
‘We have too many
elections, with their strife and loss
of time.” The man who strained
at a gnat and gulped down a drom¬
edary Is not in it with Ham—he
would include the camel driver in
the same mouthful.
Governor Atkinson has appointed
the following hanks as State deposi¬
tories for the term of four years,
be ginning from the expiration of
their present. term: La Grange
Bulking and Trust Company, Bank
of the University of Georgia,
Griffin Banking Company, Bank
of the State of Georgia at Sa¬
vannah, Hawkinsville Banking and

the Governor some time ago,
OUB COMING COMPETITORS.
We print this morning, by permis¬
sion of the recipient, a letter from
Hon. J. W. Robertson, of Haber¬
sham, that deserves the careful at¬
tention not only of every student of
political economy—which every one
should be under this government—
hut of every practical business man
and especially of every cotton plan-
te?r factor and manufacturer. It
brings to our doors a danger that
others have already seen to lx: im¬
minent, but which does not affect
other classes as immediately as
those mentioned. If the rich allu¬
vial lands of China ever begin to
grow cotton with the infinitesimal
cost of labor in that country, we
may as well turn our attention en¬
tirely to something else tlian our
present great staple; and manufac
taring would then languish in equal-
ly as great a degree with the in¬
creased Japanese competition. The
letter is too dear to require com¬
ment ; it needs only to be read.

rive some consolation when think¬

of years is passing away from a
knowledge of the fact, that the Cleve¬
land administration is running on
the same rapid schedule.
Yes, as I said in my last letter, we
are confronted with the Oriental
problem, the solution of which is
intimately connected with the solu¬
tion of our greet financial problem ;
for there is one important factor
common the to condition both problems—that of silver fac¬
tor is as a
money metal. In 1864, if my mem¬
ory does not fail me, Commodore
Perry negotiated a commercial
treaty with Japan which was then
regarded as a master stroke of com
‘ of the
was to
on and
open a new channel of trade to our
producers, manufacturers and mer¬
chants, through which the wealt h of
the Orient was to flow for our bene¬
fit and counteract England's Had cove¬
tous greed in the East. some
statesman in 1864 predicted Perry’s that treaty in
forty.two would become years boomerang and
a
Japan be a thorn in our side, he
would have been written down as a
pessimistic ass. Yet such a prophe¬ predic¬
tion would have proven true
cy, for the boomerang is on the
backward flight and the felt. prick of the
thorn is being sensibly
How true it is that “Man proposes
but God disposes.” We broke
through Japan’s wall to get in,
while she has taken advantage of
the breach to get, out, and in forty
years has moved forward on the
line of modem progress faster and
faster than other peoples have leap mov¬ she
ed in a oeptury. At one
has taken advantage of the results
accomplished by others through the
struggles of generations, and to-day
with confidence enters into a com¬
mercial competition with her teach¬
ers, which is giving those teachers
concern, and well it may. It would
be very interesting, but too tedious,
to trace in detail the wonderful pro¬
gress of Japan during the past gen¬
eration. One illustration will suffice
as an index to that progress and
show why the development of Japan
should, under existing conditions,
give ns concern and demand serious
consideration.
We of the South, the great cotton
producing the section, are very proud of
progress we have made in the
manufacture of our staple In product
within the past few years. 1883
the South operated 860,000 cotton
spindles, in 1893, 2,200,000—an In¬
crease to which which we point, with pride,
and cm we congratulate our¬
selves and assert that the hum of
those-two million spindles is the
sign and song of her prosperity.
And so it may be, if we ore wise.
In 1883 Japan, just emerging from
what we call barbarism, operated
had 92,000 cotton increased spindles; in 1893 these If
been to 680,504.
our increase of 155 per cent, in a de-
cate ran be called marvelous, what
should be said of Japan's 531 per
cent, the increase in the same time? If
one is a marvel is not the other
a miracle? Yes, I know that my
optimistic of friend this, will at Japdn once thous¬ say,

such conditions, how can she com¬

cotton fields? Will not Japan’s de¬
mand for cotton open op a com

did you ever think of the fact that a
blind optimist can see no further
than a bltad pessimist and that both
deal taextmnes? Tfre one is as un¬
reliable for leadership as the other.

pare the relative positions of the
British Islands with the continent of

the only difference is to be found in

tude, or two or transportation. days time

The comparison made is, of course,
between England apd our Atlantic
coast and Japan and our Pacific
coast, and leaves the rail transpor¬
tation in England’s favor, an advan-
tage which is now neutralized by
the low wages of the Orientals, and
which will he swept away when the
Nicaraugua canal is opened. in
England, after the difference
distance is equalized by either or
both wages and watey transporta¬
tion, will yet hold one advantage
over the United States and Japan,
that is a much lower rate of interest
on developing and working fully capital. realize
The statesmen of Japan
this trouble and are now giving the
question serious consideration, as
is shown by a recent report from the
consul general of the United States
at Shanghai, China. In speaking Japan,” of
the “banking projects in
the consul informs us that Count
Matsukata, minister of finance for
Japan, “thinks that one of the first
duties of his office is to provide and
cheap capital for agriculturists
industrials. ’ ’ Count Matsukata cer¬
tainly understands on what founda¬
tions the prosperity of his country
must rest. What a wide difference
is there between this policy of
Japan’s minister of finance and our
secretary of the treasury, whose
sole idea of duty seems to be the
protection of the credit of corpora¬
tions, while the “agriculturists and of
industrials” suffer from want
adequate developing rale and working
capital at reasonable of interest.
Our consul'general adapted goes on to rais- say
that the land to cotton
The distance from this cotton sec
tion, or rather the export port for
this dbetion, is only about a thousand
miles from the capital of Japan by
water transportation. from
In 1886 the export cotton
China to Japan was 6,346,666
pounds through the port of Shang¬
hai j in 1896 this export increased to
76,800,000 pounds, while the total
export of cotton from Shanghai in
1886 was 37,146,333 pounds and in
1894 increased to 124,053,333 iijoigbt pounds
—over 30 per cent, increase
years. Our consul adds that the
only difficulty now with the produc¬ of
tion of cotton in China is the want
knowledge as to methods of culture.
Japan, as is shown by her last treaty
with China, fully appreciates the
fact that she has near by a country
available for the raising of a full
supply of cotton. How long will
she be ih developing this resource?
Judging by the past, a resonable an¬
swer to the question will be, not
long. Again, Japan is on the silver
basis—our mints are closed to the
metal. Consequently bullion is
cheap in thd United States in com¬
parison with the legal tender silver
dollar, hence Japan can sell us her
produce or manufactured articles at
cost—carriage and duties added—in¬
vest proceeds in silver bullion to be
coined in Japan, and make a profit
of 50 per cent*; and on many articles
undersell us in our own markets.
* You have the situation. Does it
not look like that of the fellow be¬
tween the devil and the deep sea?
England, the devil on one hand, and
Japan, the deep sea, whose depths
are yet unsounded, on the other.
How is the problem to be solved?
The protectionist per se—if I may
use the < .pression—will blister, make at once du¬ say
apply atariff the
ties on Oriental manufactured goods
so high as to prohibit their importo
tion. Such a remedy will not do; it
would be an unjust and unwise dis¬
crimination, which in the end would
prove a more dangerous boomerang
than the Perry treaty. As I have
said, there is a factor common to
this Oriental and our financial prob¬
lem, that factor the condition of sil¬
ver as a money metal; found in this com¬
mon factor will be a key to
the solution. Restore to silver its
God-given prerogative as a money
metal, gold—making place it on a perfect parity
with no discrimina¬
tion against it at the mints—and in
my opinion both our financial and
the Oriental problems will be solved
and the solutions will be in the in¬
terest of the American agricultural
and industrial classes. In building
the superstructure of our national
prosperity, that superstructure to
he lasting, should rest on a solid
foundation, which can only be found
in a combination of the interests of
the two classes named. If these
two are prosperous the prosperity
will be general, the foundation safe
and solid and the superstructure
stable. If both these interests are
neglected or either fostered by legis¬
lation at the expense of the other,
then will the foundation be faulty,
and the superstructure of national
prosperity ish man who meet built the his fate house of the fool¬
