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¬ parations to dispense a generous hos¬ pitality ; and the writer was so 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. A crank demanded in Washington the of - other the day the arrest Weather Bureau staff for dealing m futures. — 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. Edlsoi Goes Too Far. Edison is said to hare invented an automatic piano player. This won't do. If we have to listen to the piano, let us have a pretty girl to dperate it. PICKENS SUPERIOR COURT. Court met promptly at 10 o’clock ; immediately after which Judge George F.

Tlie Editor of the Republican will be in Ellijay on Tuesday of Court Week when he will be glad to meet and make the acquaintance of our Gil¬ mer county patrons and friends. 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. List of Letters.

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. A Canadian Opinion.

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* cards W. T. DAY, Attorney at Law, Jasper, Ga.

WILL HAIGHT, Attorney at Law, 25 Marietta Street, Atlanta, Ga. 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.” How to Clean Hair.
