Sr#--THF. REPUBLICAN goes to ev¬
ery County in the Ninth Congres¬
sional District—to nearly every Post
office, and has (he largest hona llde
circulation of any paper published
In North Georgia.
Whether tbe Democratic bosses
have decided to dethrone Hill or not
the voters of the Slate of New York
have.
Tuk Buckeye Democrats demand a
campaign of education. Major McKin¬
ley and Senator Sherman are giving
them one, and yet they arn’t happy.
Michigan comes to the front with a
wheat crop exceeding 28,000,000 bushels,
and the outlook for the Democracy in
that State is dismal.
A couple of Idiots out. in Minnesota
have just fought a duel with swords.
One got hurt and the other Is in jail.
Perhaps they will both have more sense
next time.
The best plank in the New York Re¬
publican platform is the quotation from
President Harrison’s Albany speech in
favor of the one hundred cent dollar.
Mu. Flower’s time during the cam¬
paign is, It is said, to Ihs principally
occupied in signing checks. But the
biggest chock be will give will be noth¬
ing to tlie chock he will got the first
Tuesday In November.
The Macon Telegraph says that Bal
maceda’s defeat was “a Democratic
victory.” It was certainly an English
victory, judging from the rejoicing in
London. But then there Is always joy
in London over a Democratic victory.
A dispatch from Ohio says : “It is
note-worthy that the strongest McKinley
meetings arc those held among the farm¬
ers.” The farmers appreciate the value
of the home market and they propose to
be paid for their products in honest dol¬
lars.
A Fair Question For Democrats.
Roswell P. Flower is a rich man—a
very rich man. If he hadn't a dollar in
the world, If he were a man of only or¬
dinary moans, if lie were worth, say,
only $50,000, would he he the nominee
of the Democratic party for Governor ?
$ircumstance$.
A Democratic cotemporary, alluding
to Mr. Flower, remarks that ‘Circum¬
stance?” have made him especially strong
in his party at this time.” They have
indeed. The size of his barrels (of
'Circumstance?”) is believed to bo equal
to his ambition to become Governor of
New York State, and Tammany is very
hungry.
Protection’s Stimulant.
Ot course other causes than tbo pro¬
tective tariff have contributed to the
marked improvement in American wares
that have taken place within a recent
period—but tbe tariff has beeu a large
factor in securing this result. It has
wonderfully stimulated the ingenuity
and enterprise of our inventors, mechan¬
ics, capitalists, by preserving for them
the best, the most prosperous and the
most exacting market in the world—the
market of 60,000,000 American people.
Boston Journal.
NOBODY BID HIGHER.
In one of his erratic but truth-telling
interviews some weeks ago General Ed¬
ward F. Jones, Democratic Lieutenant
Governor of New York, mentioned the
fact that Governor Hull had pledged
the Democratic gubernational nomina¬
tion to one Roswell P. Flower, of
whom he contemptuously remarked that
he “was afraid to run for second place
six yean ago.” General Jones added
that he expected Mr. Flower to be
nominated, “unless some one else bid
higher for the nomination.” Mr. Flow¬
er is nominated. It is fair to presume,
on this high Democratic authority, ’ that
nobody bid higher than Flower fer the
empty “honor.” ....
REPUBLICANISM IS AXERICAMSM.
Rkpcbmcaxisu is this United
States stands for true and Un¬
adulterated Americanism -that
spirit of independence, and of revolt
against oppression and usurpation
which brought the Cavaliers to Vir¬
ginia, the Puritans to Plymouth Rock,
and the Huguenots to Carolina.
Republicanism is the legatee and
embodiment of that spiret which*
resists the efforts of Great Britain,
to prevent the establishment of
manufactures in the Colonies by inter¬
dicting, and imposing penalties on the
exportation of machinery—of models
and even of drawings—so as to keep
the Colonies dependent on the Mother
Country, and compel th$fn to pander
to her greed, swell her manufactures,
commerce and wealth, and increase
her power.
Republicanism is the legatee and
embodiment of that spirit of endur¬
ance, persistency of purpose, and self
sacrifice, which, having broken the
shackles of British tyranny, wrought
out our independence and laid the
foundation of the greatest and grand¬
est Republic, promising to become
the foremost Nation of the world.
Republicanism is the legatee and
embodiment of that spirit of inde¬
pendence which inspired the Fathers
to stimulate manufacturing indus¬
tries by protecting them; which car¬
ried the Nation through the war of
181*2, caused by the aggressive inso¬
lence of the British government,
which, failing to keep us politically
subject to her, sought to keep us com¬
mercially so.
Republicanism is the legatee and
embodiment of the Great National,
American spirit which, realizing that
this is an Indissoluble Union of
great States forming a great and
Powerful Nation, crushed the un¬
holy attempt to destroy it, and is
now establishing a national policy
which will advance the Nation to
the front rank among the nations—a
leader of national policies, controller
of national destinies.
These propositions can and will be
demonstrated by the history of the
Republican party and the Nation.
Such a party is worthy of and enti¬
tled to the unswerving support of all
patriots, and of great personal sacri¬
fices to sustain it. We earnestly call
upon all such, especialy those affili¬
ating with the party to unite, concen¬
trate, infuse confidence, and impart
power and potency by organization.
Organize! Organizb!! that is the
talismanie word.
Moiintaintown Association.
We had the pleasure, last Sunday,
of attending Mountamtown Associ¬
ation, held with Pleasant Grove
church, three miles from Ellijay.
Among the ministers present was
Rev. T. C. Boykin, of Decatur, Ga.,
who delivered a very eloquent and
impressive sermon—very much to
the edification of his large attentive
and appreciative audience.
The Association has taken an ad¬
vanced position, and is doing a good
and glorious work. Sunday schools
have been and are being organized
throughout its jurisdiction; and it
has ruled out the use, sale and man¬
ufacture of spiritous liquors.
Deputy United States Marshal, P.
II. Milton and family had made pre¬

fortunate as to be one of the numer¬
ous royally entertained guests.
One More Month.
Then What!
In consequence of requests made
in person and by letter to postpone
the dropping of subscribers who fail¬
ed to pay by October 1st., we have
decided to do so.
The reason given for the request
is the temporary scarcity of money,
owing to the backwardness of the
crops.
To those who have responded we
return our thanks; all they have paid
—and much more—was needed.
the We list shall remaining positivley unpaid drop November all from
1st 1891.

WHY I AM A PWmXTIOXIST.
“I a in Protectionist because I am an
American.
“The free admission of foreign com¬
modities, or their admission at the rates
of duty that are levied for purely reve¬
nue purposes, may suit the economic
conditions and meet the financial needs
of other countries, but history teaches
that the prosperity of our own country
is ls'St promoted by a tariff which Is
levied for Prelection as well as for reve¬
nue. Many of our great industries—the
pottery industry, the carpet industry,
and the steel-rail industry, had only a
nominal existence until adequately pro¬
tective duties were imposed on compet¬
ing foreign product*. All other consid¬
erations aside, older manufacturing
countries could command lower wages
for labor than this country, and protec¬
tive duties were therefore needed to
equalize the labor cost of production.
Our tin-plate industry Is today an infant
industry because we have not had a
Protective duty on foreign tin plateR.
Wo shall always need Protective duties
as long as our people insist upon a high¬
er standard of wages and scale of living
than prevail abroad. If they were now
willing to accept the same wages and the
same social condition which the people
of other countries are compelled to ac¬
cept, our Protective policy could be
greatly modified, If not wholly dispensed
with. Whatever it may have been in
the past, this policy is therefore today
chiefly a question of wages.
James M. Swank”
in the American Economist.
FORCING THE FIGHTING.
As it ha* been in Ohio, so it is to be
in New York—the Republicans are
“forcing the fighting” all along the line.
As Major McKinley assumed the ag¬
gressive in Ohio, so Mr. Fassktt, in
New York, lias assumed the aggiessive
promptly and with marked success.
The rousing Republican ratification
meeting in New York was worthy to
rank in enthusiasm with the magnificent
demonstration in Brooklyn. Both gath¬
erings showed unmistakably the confi¬
dence of Republicans, their loyalty to
the party’s candidates and their intense
interest in the campaign. Mr. Fassktt
spoke on both occasions with great
incisiveness and effect. The two meet¬
ings open the campaign in the metropo¬
lis most auspiciously.
RECIPROCITY’S WORK.
The buncombe platform of the New
York Democrats spoke of recipracity as
“the Blaine reciprocity humbug.”
In June, 1890, under the old tariff, the
United States sold to Brazil breadstuff's
carriages and cars, cotton cloth and
clothing, tools and hardware, sewing
machines, steam engines and machinery,
resin, tar, pitch, turpentine, bacon, lard,
lumber and manufactures of wood to
tlie value of $505,999.
Under the reciprocity clause of the Mc¬
Kinley law the Brazilian duty on these
ai tides was either abolished or reduced
25 per cent. As a result, in June, 1891,
Brazil bought these products of us to
the value of $998,959. The increase is
over 98 per cent.
If this is “humbug” our Democratic
friends arc welcome to make the most
of it.
Tlie McKinley Retaliatory Clause.
The important concession which Ger¬
many makes regarding our hog pro¬
ducts and cereals are a conspicuous
tribute to the potency of Republican
legislation. Boston Journal.
RASCALS WHO GOT IN.
Tuk Republican has been asked to
re-publish the names of those State
Treasurers who have defaulted within the
hist few years. Here are the names of
the delinquent State Treasurers and the
amounts of their thefts so far as we know
them: Churchill of Arkansas, $80,000;
Poi.k, Tennessee, $400,000! Vincent,
Alabama, $243,000; Tate, Kentucky,
$247,000. Burks, Louisiana, $827,000:
Noland, Missouri, 32,000; Hemingway,
Mississppi, 315,000; Archer Maryland,
$200,000; Woodruff, Arkansas, $96,000.
These men are all Democrats
The above with “honest” Jack Jones
of Georgia, of previous date, makes near¬
ly $3,000,000.
FALSE PROPHETS.
Our free trade contemporaries can
scarcely have forgotton how strenuously
they insisted that the McKinley bill
would restrict our foreign trade. We
hope the fact will not escape their at¬
tention that our foreign trade is the
heaviest in our history, and that during
the seven months ending August 1 our
exports gained $36,000,000, and our im¬
ports gained $10,000,000 over the cor¬
responding period of the previous year.
Our free trade friends would do well to
go out of the prophecy business alto¬
gether.

FIGHTING AMERICAN INDUSTRY.
A cable dispatch from Europe, in a
newspaper which is a Mugwump when it
is anything, says that “the Tin Plate
Workers’ Union has agreed to stand by
the masters and fight the American ef¬
forts to establish the tin plate industry
to the bitter end, on condition that their
present wages shall not be disturbed.”
This is interesting. So it appears that
the Welsh tin plate masters have been
fighting the establishment in America
of an industry that would bring, accor¬
ding to the same authority, many mill¬
ions of dollars to the United States, and
cause proportionate loss to England.
For allies in this fight the foreign tin
plate masters have had such papers as
the New York Times, the New York
Evening Post and other publications
that are suspected, with good reason
apparently, of being under the influence
of foreign free trade interests. The tin
plate masters across the water are not to
blame for doing all they can to keep a
highly valuable and profitable industry
away from tbe United States; but with
newspapers that depend upon American
patronage, and pretend to be American
it is quite another thing. However, we
are getting the industry, the British
masters and their American allies to the
contrary notwithstanding.

AGAINST FREE SILVER.
The series of article# that have been
contributed recently to the New York
press in advocacy of the free and unlimi¬
ted coinage of silver, by Senator Stkw
AKT of Nevada, have had a most excellent
effect in drawing out expression# from
representative silver producers, by which
it appears that in his demand for unlimi¬
ted silver coinage Mr. Stkwart by no
means represents the solver miners of
the West. Score# of silver miners who
are conducting mitiiug operations in
Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Montana,
have openly avowed their preference for
free American coinage over unlimited
coinage of the silver product; and have
indicated the danger of throwing open
our mints to the world’s product of sil¬
ver as long as we coin on the present ra¬
tio of gold to silver. They are begin¬
ning to understand that unlimited coin¬
age would drive every dollar of gold out
of the country, and produce such a finan¬
cial paralysis as the nation has never
known. They are intent also on protect¬
ing their own product.
A letter from one of these producers,
Mr. E. R. Holden, of Colorado, who is
a smelter as well as a miner, has been
published, in which he voiced the senti¬
ments of the silver producers for free
American coinage. It lias drawn out
from Senator Stewart a reply in which
he asserts that Mr. IIolden sets up a
claim for the miners which they do not
and never have made. The files of the
New York papers, in which miner after
miner from the silver States can be
found to have spoken openly for free
American coinage and in opposition to
unlimited coinage, prove that Mr.
Holden, is right and that Senator
Stewart is wrong The silver Senator
has been so longin Washington, says the
New r York Press, that he represents only
himself in advocating unlimited coinage,
and is not in touch with the silver pro¬
ducers of the West.
REVOLT IN NEW YORK.
Licuteu int-Governor Jones, of New
York, in a letter to the press, lias declar¬
ed his intention to oppose the Democrat¬
ic nominee for Governor of New York.
His defection from his party is caused
by his abhorrence of the element# that
dominate and control it. These he fitly
describes as “men whose every sentiment
of patriotism is subject either to their
personal ambition or their selfish greed.”
The administration of public affairs he
openly charges “is shaped to perpetuate
their rule,” and “continued subservience
but makes tlie condition too degrading
to be quietly borne by American citizens.’
General Jones lias struck the keyuote
of the issue between two parties in these
utterances. If he pursues as wise a
eourse as liis letter is dignified in tone,
he can make himself a great factor in
saving the Empire State from the threat¬
ened disgrace and disaster of Tammany
rule.
FIRST NATIONAL DELEGATE.
The Reading (Pa.) county convention,
held on Saturday, elected the first dele¬
gate in the United States to the Repub¬
lican National Convention of 1892. Thp
delegate, Augustus M. High, was “in¬
structed for Blaine.” The county from
which Mr High hails is strongly Demo¬
cratic.

THE MILLENNIUM!
JESUS AT OUR DOORS-THE FUL¬
FILLMENT OF THE PROPHECY
Near at Hand-An Order to Rebuild the
Temple Will be Given November 8,
1894. 50,000 Jews Already Within the
Walls of Jerusalem.
Rev. E. R. Carswell, that eloquent divine who
has, for the past twenty years, been searching
the scriptures, has come to the conclusion, vary¬
ing two years with others who calculated
with different figures, that the
millennium will come in April, 1901,
and has written a startling book of 100 pages,
bound in cloth, entitled "Jesus at Our Doors,
or His Early Coming,” which tells all about It.
The calculations of the prophesies of this book
are token from the old and new Testaments, and
are soul thrilling indeed. Here is what Rev.
J. B. Hawthorne has to say of the book :
■‘This little work, from the pen of Dr. E. R.
Carswell, is a real sensation In literary and re¬
ligious circles. Everybody who reads it is ex¬
cited, not only by the grandeur and solemnity
of the theme, but by the intense earnestness of
the miter. Every sentence is indicative of
deep conviction. The reader gets into the cur¬
rent of the author’s feeling in the opening chap¬
ter and is swept on with increasing velocity to
the close. I do not agree with some of tbe doc¬
tor’s interpretations ef prophesy, and would not
commit myself to many of his conclusions, but
that he has written a profoundly interesting
hook admits of no controversy.”
This book is now for sale, and can he secured
by sending the small sum of SO cents to Brantly
& Co., state agents, 321-2 South Broad street,
Atlanta. They will send It postpaid to any ad¬
dress. The hook sells fast, and it is thought
that in the next few days 10,000 more will have
been sold. 1*

TO OCR COUNTY PEOPLE.
The Piedmont Republican has been
published in Jasper now more than
eighteen months. The late suspension
of the “Herald” leaves this as the only
paper in the county. The Republican
has not accomplished all it set out to do,
but expects to leave nothing undone,
which it is in its power to do, to fulfill its
self-imposed mission—to be instrumental
in the up-building of Jasper, and the
development of Pickens county.
The Republican has come to stay.
The Management respectfully asks the
good will and wishes, and the substan¬
tial support of the citizens of Pickens
and the adjoining counties, and of Ke
publicans throughout tlie State ; and in
order to merit and secure this good will
and support, expects, on its part, to do
all in its power to promote and advance/
the individual and collective interests of
our people, irrespective of personal feel¬
ing, partisan bias or religious creed.
Politically, while Unswervingly
Republican the management will stu¬
diously avoid giving offense to any.
Local information of general interest
is solicited, and will be gladly published.
Short, newsy letters from different lo¬
calities in this and adjoining counties,
and the counties composing the Ninth
Congressional District, will be welcome
and published with cheerfulness.
It is the desire and the intention of
the Management to publish a paper
creditable alike to the publishers and
the people; one, of which the people
will be proud. To do this we respect- I
ffully ask the hearty co-operation of the
people of Pickens county. If given we
can safely promise one of the best papers
published in North-Georgia.
CHARLES LAMB S WARNING.
Charles Lamb tells his sad experi¬
ence, as a warning to young men, in
the following language;
“The waters have gone over me;
but out of the black depths, could I
be heard, I would cry out to all those
who have set a foot in the perilous
flood. Could the youth, to whom the
flavor of the first wine is delicious as
the opening scenes of life, or the
entering upon some newly discovered
paradise, look into my desolation and
be made to understand what a dreary
thing it is—when he shall feel him¬
self going down a precipice with
open eyes and a passive will; to see
his destruction and have no power
to stop it, and yet feel it all the way
emanating from himself; to see all
godliness emptied out of him, and
yet not be able to forget a time when
it was otherwise; to bear about the
piteous spectacle of his own ruin;
could he see my fevered eye—fever¬
ish with last night’s drinking, and
feverishly looking for to-night’s rep¬
etition of the folly; could he but feel
the body of the death out of which I
cry hourly with feebler outcry to be
delivered, it were enough to make
him cast the sparkling beverage to
the earth, in all the pi ide of its m ant
ling temptation.”
