imany are thoughtlessly enjoying

/The main reason the Pennsylva
nia iron men are shutting down
their mills is that tile Alabama iron
manufacturers are now telling iron
cheaper than the Pennsylvanians
■can make it. The “business inter-

acorn to require t’. at an extra spe
cific tax should be put on Aiabatua

outcome of tho protection doctrine.
Mr. G. W. Oheves having bought
the interest of his partner, Mr. U.
%j. Weston, in the Dawson Journal,
it now sole editor ami proprietor.
Mr. Chovcs is one of the best edito-
vial writers in Georgia, his articles
'being pertinent and pointed, and
Che attention he has devoted to the
agricultural interests of Ids section

'The Courial-Jimrnal thinks the
issue for 1884- is as dear-oul as a
diamond nml puts it tiiiu; A reform
-of the tariff: the rights of the pep-
iplc aguinst the robber demands ot

•ministration of the affairs of the
government. ' If the republicans
don’t like the prograupne—why,
•the Ecyplian army seeqis sadly in
steed ol recruits, and they can go
and hunt for lil Muhdi.
Some of the more candid lie-
-publican papers admit that tho best
policy of their parted* to try to
dodge the tariff question—tc sub-
ordinate it at the North tp a rcuew-
•cd outcry about Southern outrages,
and in the South by. a hypocritical
demand lor “civil rights.” They
rely upon section issues entirely to
■Uc.oy them up, and will give them
different turns in tho North and in
the South. The Democracy every
where will do well to make the fight
on a national issue which the Re-
•publicans arc afraid to meet openly.
The N’cw Y ork Sun says: “The
■Democratic party will be forced to
tight on a platform of tariff for rev.
ouuc only. It was badly whipped
-oa that platlorm, and seems not to j
have learned wisdom by defeat - ’
The Sun is mistakcu; the Demo-
cuaU have never been whipped on
That platform. In the last presi-
-de-dial campaign it was defeated
because it abandoned its platform
aad tried to out-protectlon the pro
tectionists. IA the Peirocratic
party make a square stand on a
.tariff for revenue platform in the
atext-campaign a id it will be vic
torious.
dreds of fanners, s!io>vs that, Lite at
tention of the people of the thick'y
populated section* of the North is
being turned to the South and it
will inquire but a Ijbcral policy on
Lhe part of the railroads to turn the
tide of emigration Southward.
Tlie Central Railroad of Georgia
runs through almost every portion
ol the State. Much of tho country
through which it run* is, compara
tively speaking,thinly popuiated;yet
it bus a fine soil, a genial climate,
lands arc cheap, and it is an invit
ing country to Northern farmers
wlio desire larger farms, or who
Imvc not tbe means to buy the
high-priced lands in the North.
Now, why cannot the Central do as
the Illinois Central is doing—get
up cheap excursions in order to al
low Northern farmers to come
down and examine this country?
The increase of population and
products which would follow such
a course would surely be beneficial
to the Central company, for its
business would Ire increased. The
Central makes a bid for Florida
travel, giving low rates and long
time tickets, and advertises its line
as the "Andersonville route,” yet
ruthes its passengers through
Georgia in the night, giving them
no opportunity of seeing the coun
try or of stopping over and com
pelling them to go to Jacksonville
to gel their tickets stamped before
they can return. The same amount
of energy expended in getting up
excursions to points along tho line
of its ronds would pay it as well m
tiio present and far greater In the
future.
IVu hope president Raoul and his
associates will take this matter into
consideration anil take such action
ns will greatly benefit Georgia ned
(lie rend in their charge.
No tariff can bo levied, no tariff
law can be framed, even "for reve
nue <»i/,v,.” without giving inciden
tal protection. That is what tho
Democracy lias claimed from the
days of Jackson until now. And
that “incidental protection” is nil
that manufacturers nml capitalists
have any right to, or any right to
claim. The incidental protection
is inevitable and canuot be avoided.
Tiio revenue muni be raised in part
by duties oil imported goods, and
these duties afford incidental pro.
tection, and all the protection tho
government has any right to be
stow.
A
event he shall decide to devote his
time and attention to the study of
political and governmental ques
tions.
Our county is not now in the
Congressional district in which
Judge Crisp belongs; nevertheless,
we take the liberty of saying to tin
people of the district in which the
county of SurateC is embraced, that
they cannot do better than to con
tinue 'lie JudgOrin the place that he
now occupies, and in which wc do
not doubt that be will alike benefit
and honor, his people and himself.
John B. Gough, the temperance
lecturer says, “we must educate the
young up to a sentiment against
tho use of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage, before wc can Successful
ly enforce a prohibition law.”
Gough is about right. That is the
place to hegin,
