THE TirO-THMlft RULE.
The Macon Telegraph and Mess
enger is in favor of a continuance
of the two-thirds rule by the Dem
ocrats of Georgia in their state
conventions. The principal argu
ment advanced by it in favor of the
TRADE DOLLARS.
The trade dollars haring aii been
bought up at eighty cents on the ■
dollar, Congress has passed a bill
authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to redeem them at their
face value, giving in exchange

retention of this rule is that it is ■ there-for the standard silver dollar,
an old custom, although it admits j There was never any reason why
that it was originated in national
convention to protect the slave
states. A uses the further argu
ment that it is necessary to protect
the minority.
As to the first argument, it is not
a safe policy to issist that what
has been shall always lie. Mistakes
are sometimes made, but it is not
the part of wisdom to pcrpetaule
them. A ride adopted tor the sake
of expediency may be a good one
these trade dollars should not have
always passed at their face value,
for they contained more silver than
the standard dollar; but it seems
to be a principle with the federal
government, under Republican ad
ministration, to rob tl.e people in
every possible way and favor the
speculators. Congress could have
passed this bill long ago, but it al
lowed the speculators to pass these
trade dollars at par among the peo-

some reason for its destruction, an opportunity of buy ing them in
to vigorously push a business,
strength to study a profession,
strength to regulate a household,
strength to do a day's labor with
out physical pain. All this repre
sents wltat is wanted, in the often
heard expression, “ Oh! I wish I
had the strength!” If you are
broken down, have not energy, or
feel as if life was hardly worth liv
ing, you can be relieved and re

The Savannah News pointedly
nays that the persons in the country
who will lie most benefitted by the

not only lie able to make a report
to their own interests, but they
will get $10 a day for doing it.
It has been developed by the
census tliut there is only one cow
to every twelve inhabitants. The
average man must Imvc something
to drink, and when the cow goes
dry a dozen men must tnke some
thing else than milk. The tem
perance people ought to sec that
there are more cows.
This is the experience ol' John
M. Ware, of Ilarncsvllle, in ship
ping fruit: Early the present
month lie shipped seven crates (or
about three bislicis) to A. M.
Collin, New York. His expenses
on them were “.oss of one duy’s
time, $3; freight, $4.30; crates, sev
enty-five cents, and extra expenses
ill correspondence, etc., seventy-
live cents,” making a total of $8.-
110, for which lie rccoivcd in return
$0.(10, witli the consolution that the
“market was glutted.” ily the
figures lie lost $2.00; but as lie had
been offered twenty-five cents per
dozen at home for them, his actual
loss is reckoned at something above
$2(1.
JUST LIKE Pilll. COOK.
We saw a lew days ago a letter
from General Cook in reply to one
written him by a citizen of Hawk-
insvillu asking him to come to
Georgia nud canvass his district.
The answer was characteristic, ol
Lho gallnnt old fellow. He said
Congress would not adjourn until
July, and that lie would rather lie
defeated than liavc it said Hint ho
had left bis post of duty to work
for his re-election. These were the
words of brave old Cook—a man
wlm has never turned his buck
upon his country or his friends,
who has never voted ng linst Ids
party, nnd was never absent at the
roll call of duty. There are no
truer men than Phil Cook.— Hand--
insville Disjmlch.
They should be able to show that
it has defeated the will ol the peo
ple anil brought wrong and shame
to the commonwealth." If the
Democratic state convention of
two years Hgo does not afford the
reason and example asked for, its
record has been sadly garbled and
the memory ol those who partici
pated in that convention and the
Hubsctpient campaign sadly defi
cient.
We admit that the minority
should be altorded protection, ami
the parliamentary rules of all con
ventions generally give them that
protection to an extent that it
would some times seeui the majori
ty had no rights which the minori
ty was IkiuikI to respect. But
when it comes to balloting it is im
possible to give them any further
protection than their own votes
without robbing Hie majority of
their rights. It is not in the pro
vince of fairness to say that a frac
tion over one-third of any body
shall have ns much power us nearly
two-tliirds. Asa general thing the
power of the minority, under the
two-thirds rule, has been used to
defeat the will of the majority, of
ten to the detriment of the party
and llie country. As under our
laws the expression of a majority of
the people is regarded as the will
ol the people, wo do not see why
the same rule cannot he as safely
adopted in the nomination ol n cun-
didate as in his election. While
under the two-thirds rule the mi
nority cunnot formally nominate u
candidate, it can practically do so
by dictating to the majority who it
bliull nominate. The instances are
not a fewjwherc a stubborn minority
Ims broken up conventions and dis
rupted Hie party. It is because
we do not wish a repetition ofsueh
scenes that *we advocate Hie abo-
lition'of a rule Hint is more fraught
with mischief Hum benefits.
From a paragraph in the Tele -
gra/ili -article we Inlcr that - one of
the weightiest reasons for its wish
ing the continuance of the two-
tliirds rule is that under itN pro
visions is its only hope to defeat
the nomination of Mr. Stephens,
lint we warn it tliut it the two-
thirds rule is continued, nml the
minority defeat Mr. Stephens’
nomination, there will follow such
a disruption of the Democratic
parly in Georgia as will not he
healed us easily ns wits thu one two
years #go. If Mr. Stephens is de
feated in the convention, to be a
fruitful victory, it must be in a
squint*, lair tight, in which the will
of the people must be represented
at four-fifths their face value, and
now this hill is passed making a
fitting conclusion to the history of
tlie trade dollar, which as first
coined lor the benefit of specula
tors.
