DKMIMItAIV. ^ The two prominent ideas of govern- nient in the world's history have heeu to rule the |Ms>ple through kings ami mon arch* and favored classes, controlling them by strong laws and with force, or to leave them free and independent to work out their own destinies unrestrained except by such laws as they in their wisdom might enact for the g«s*| of so ciety and the preservation of life, liberty and pro|H‘rty and the pursuit of happi ness to every individual, without partiali ty or inequality to any citizen or class. The latter idea is the rocklied on which the republic was founded, and the great underlying principle of true democracy. It has equally opposed the centralizing tendencies of the early federalist* aud latter day republicans, and under the teachings and leadership of Jefferson, Madison. Jackson and Cleveland, has fought every encroachment of power, contending for a simple, frugal govern ment. aud opposing all forms of taxation except for the actual necessities of an honest economical administration of pub- lic affairs. And it stands to-day as the party of the people op|>osed to re|»ubli- can high tariff taxation and force hill legislation, and to the ruinous policy of the third party of enlarging the powers of government by having it engage in tlu* money lending business and govern ment ownership and operation of all transisirtation, telegraph and telephone lines. Other patties may come and go, but democracy will live as long as tli« republic survives. WARE’S REPRESENTATIVE. It is believed a large majority of the citizens of Ware county are opposed to bringing bar-rooms with their immense train of evils back iuto our midst, and yet there are those who seem bent thrusting tliis issue upon the people the nomination of a representative, there by courting discord and division in th« democratic ranks, for men's religion art above jMilitics, and scores of dennx'rat* will not support a whiskey man if nom inated. Those who are opposed to mak ing the liquor question an Issue in the nomination of a democratic candidate, and favor leaving the law as it now stands aud letting well enough alone, will doubtless run that able lawyer, worthy citizen and devote! democrat.

Nor- then has written a letter to the Afro- American Democratic Club, of Chicago, on an inquiry from that club asking what the democratic party of Georgia has done to deserve the votes the negro. In his letter, which is an interesting sta tistical (taper, the governor says: While the people of this state have done nothing with the direct view of se curing the vote of the colored people they have done a great deal which should go toward inducing the colored voters to i ray themselves on the democratic side the oouiing fight, both as between t democrats aud the third party ami be tween the democrats and the republicans. I think that the record we have made will have its effect in showing to the negro that in this state, as in every other state the south, his liest friend is the white in of his own section, tbe man who best knows him, l*e*t understands his needs, sympathizes im«t deeply with him and feels for him the truest friendship ii a time of deep and universal distress. I nder the republican regime in tHis state the negroes were given no facilities and no opportunities for education. A fund for educational purj»o*cs had accumula ted in the treasury, but this was seized upon by the republicans and used to pay member* of the legislature their per diem of *9 a day, and the schools did not get a cent. The deumcrat* on getting back into (sorer immediately restored (lie fund and have been steadily increasing it every year, until 1*91 (the last year f<«r which we have complete figures) it reached $1,125,000. The white people of the state own $145,000,000 of the property; the negroes own $14,200,000. It may Ik* stated briefly that the negroes pay for school purjtoses to the state treasury $6)^000, while the whites pay $1,068,000.* The school attendance among the negroes is about 40 per cent, as compared with the white attendance. The negroes receive a!tout 40 per cent, of the entire fund of $1,125,000. The whites, having 60 per cent, of the attend ance, receive <>0 |>er cent, of the funds. In other words the hool purposes in the sum of $19,000 id receive for school purposes fr< ate the sum of $450,000.

Morgan Hildreth, who waa elected to tbe assembly last year by tbe Repub licans of tbe Twenty-first district, baa written a letter to John Proctor Clarke, president of the Republican organiza tion ef that district, in which he says: “Permit me to tender to the Repub lican organization through you my resig nation as a member thereof. Up to the present time 1 have actively co-operated with Republicans, and in so doing I was actuated by a belief that the platform of the two great parties represented the sincere principles of government which were placed in issue in each succeeding election. “1 realize that 1 have received at the hands of the Republican organization of tbe Twenty-first election district the highest honor it had to confer in my nomination and election as a member of assembly from that district, one of the few Republican organizations in the city of New York capable of so honoring one of its constituents. **I have certainly naught to complaiu of in the treatment 1 have received at the hands of the leaders of the district. For all favors bestowed upon me I am sincerely grateful. 1 have come to be lieve, however, the fact to be that the professions of the Republican party are insincere, and that the platforms adopt ed in the past have been adopted solely with a view of inducing such enthusi astic theorists as myself to swear alle giance to that party. Therefore I now retire from what seems to me to be a field of hypocrisy to which I was allured by blandishments, misstatements and deception. The only issue that I recognized iu the years that I have actively particijiated in politics as existing between the two dominant political parties was that of protection. 1 believed in it on principle. I believe In it today, provided that its attendant advantages can be made nniversal and not special.” Mr. Hildreth goes on to say that the protective system as applied to manu facturers and laborers gives the former all advantages through the increased prices they are able to charge for ar ticles, and that the wages of workmen are not correspondingly increased. He concludes: “My allegiance to the Republican party iu the jiast has been induced by exaction of conscience, and 1 now retire from that party because of the fact that 1 have learned from experience to know and believe in its absolute insincerity iu this one cardinal issue as demonstrat ed in practice.”—New York Herald.

The statement that a tariff for reve nue “confines the dutiable list to non competitive products” is a false defini tiou. The Democratic platform ad vances no such theory. The Democratic candidate in liis celebrated message to congress clearly stated that he favored such an adjustment of the tariff as would conserve the interests of Ameri- manufacturing and American labor. At Madison Square garden he said: “Ours is not a destructive party. We are uot at enmity with tho rights of any of our citizens. All are our coun trymen. We are not recklessly heed less of any American interests, nor will we abandon our regard for them.”—Ex change. * ^ _ Ttietr Tune Hu Changed. Republican leaders ought to feel a lit tle cheap themselves to be telling their followers that things have never been so cheap as now, when not many months ago their present chief, whom they so stoutly profess to worship, expressed great contempt for cheap things, saying that when you Bee a cheap coat “you generally expect to find a cheap man un der it.” Now the tune appears to run the other way, aud to insist that the Mc Kinley bill lias rather depressed prices —made them cheaper instead of making them dearer, as it was planned to do, aud as it has undoubtedly done.—Port land (Me.)

ITow Much Do Van Oct? Mr. Carnegie draws $4,500,000 a year as his part of the profits of the iron busi ness— that is, he gains every second ninety-five cents; every minute, $5.70; every hour, $343.40; every day, $4,120.85; every week, $28,840.50; every month, $125,000. How much do you get out of the tariff? Let every mau answer this question for himself, remembering that every dollar Carnegie makes is pure bounty, according to the statement of the protectionists, because, if they tell the truth, manufactures would not pay at all in this country but for this blessed tariff.—Salem (N. C.) People’s Press, Yka views «r It**. Owen Scott, a Cos- <m«iurns from Illinois. The following is an extract from the speech of the Hon. Owen Scott, of Illi nois, in the national house of representa tives: Every pound of raw sugar bought, whether produced here or abroad, is bought by the trust and all the refined sugar sold passes through their hands and pays tribute to this conscienceless corporation. In increasing its capital it also provided for $10,000,000 of 6 per cent, bonds with which to operate the business and to silence the competition of any refinery which might hereafter make it interesting. Not only has the Sugar trust succeeded in destroying all competition, but it has, at the same time, prepared the means for perpetually preventing competition. The result of this has been to depress the price of all raw sugar and to largely increase the price of refined. Prior to this absorption of refineries and destruc tion of competition it was not believed by any one at all well informed that the Sugar trust or those engaged in refining sugar were not making large profits. Ou the contrary, there was every evi dence that sugar refining was a most lucrative business. The present prices of raw sugar, 90 deg*, centrifugal, and refined, granulated, have been so adjusted by the trust that the net profits are it* cents per jiound. The cost of fining does not exceed at the most five- eighths of a cent. and the best equipped refineries can produce it at one-half cent. This changed condition between raw and refined, made (stssible by the abeorptiou by the trust of the outside refineries, has given them enormously increased profits. There is a net increased profit of five- eighth of a cent per pound, or $2.03 per barrel. On a minimum yearly produc tion of 12,000,000 barrels this amounts to the enormous sum of over $25,500,000, or a little more than tbe amount of the in creased capital of tho trust employed to destroy competition. Experts place the actual value of Sugar trust properties at $35,000,000, so that the rate of profit on actual valua tion is a little over 73 per cent. After paying 7 per cent, on $37,500,000 of pre ferred stock and 6 per cent, interest on the $10,000,000 of bonds the above rate it profit would yield almost CO per cent. du the common stock. Such enormous profits are only (tossi- ble by giving exclusive and sole control if the market for this commodity, which is a necessity ir. every household in the land. At the time of the formation of the trust in 1997 tho actual value of the establishments taken in was estimated to be abont $15,000,000. Additions since and cliange3 made iu the plans, iu the opinion of experts, make the property of the trust worth about $35,000,000. The remainder of tho $50,000,000 capital prior to the recent increase represents undistributed earnings, good will and plenty of water. To illustrate tho wonderful profit that is made by these refiners mention may be made of the largest—that of Have- meyer & Elder’s Sugar Refining com pany, Brooklyn. It is estimated by good authority that the properties and equip ments cost not to exceed $4,000,000. Its capacity is 8.000 barrels per day, giving in one year of ,300 days a production of 2,400,000 barrels, or 790,000,000 pound*. Even allowiug a net profit of one-half cent per pound, the exact amount of tariff on refined sugar, it will be.vu that the annual profit is the enormous sum of $3,900,000, being almost if not quite 100 per cent, on the cost of the works. Republicans In a Kail Way. The Republicans are saying a good deal about Mr. Cleveland’s “misgivings” as to the advisability of nominating him. They are also industriously cir culating the report that he is not quite so slender os Hamlet or Romeo. All we have to say on the subject is that if our Republican friends are depending on these great arguments to elect Messrs. Harrison and Reid, they must lie in a sad way for campaign material, and have very slim hopes of electing their candidates. — Memphis Appeal - Ava- The Ware County Institute dosed its session of one week on Saturday, at 4 p. ux. The attendance was good until the last. The teachers of the county showed their appreciation of the new law by a commendable interest from the begin ning.

The impressiveness of Grover Cleve land'* speech was principally in the fact that he spoke truths that all have ex perienced, when he said that the people are “burdened as consumers by a tariff system that relentlessly and unjustly demands from them in the purchase of the necessaries and comforts of life ar. amount scarcely met by wages of hard and daily toil.” From every city and hamlet in the land the facta prove this truth, and no sweeping general state ment can convince the consumers of the country, who see the margin between wages and cost of living grow thinner and thinner, that they are being benefit ed by Republican protection.—Utica (N.

In the proof of the enormous profit made by the Carnegie company in the production of steel ingots tinder the Mc Kinley tariff may be seen tbe ground on which Mr. Swank congratulated the members of the Iron and Steel associa tion on the passage of “the most protec tive of all the tariff schedules.” In it, too, will be seen the bads of Mr. Carne gie’s ability to exemplify the great American system of protection by pur chasing castles in Scotland, England and other countries, whose citizens he desires to cheer with a sight of a tri umphant Democrat.
