'I he tariff in all period.- of the government has discriminated in favor of the manufacturer and the wealthy able to afford luxurious living, and against the poor consumer ot the coarser grades of commercial cornmod ities, in al sections of the whole coun try, aud no one not a lunatic or an idiot expects anything like an equitable re form of the tariff in these days of prof ligaoy and dishouest legislation, of which no party can claim exemption.— Nor does the evil rest here ; but every time the tariff is tinkered upon in Con gress the money kings are granted some new monopoly privilege, and some new burden placed upon the already over loaded shoulders of the poor consumer.

The tariff reform bill is still worrying life out of Congress, and with the filibustering tactics employed ou both side there is not time before adjourn uieut to pa*H it. aud President Arthur threatens if the bill is uut passed to call i>n extra session, fhe consequences of a misstep upon this measure loom up in the minds of the politicians of both parties as an important factor in the can vass of 1884. Indeed, it is an elephant which neither pat tv are anxious to win. ‘ he cfl rts uf our national legislators are evidently directed to the fluding ot some way by which they will be able to hoodwink the common people, and by granting to the money kings of the JNorth and East, of whom they are inor tally afraid, all the monopolies they sire and have so long enjoyed, placate ’them and retain the influence of their which it is quite certain would be Igainst any party or individual daraM^fli^tbeir enjoyment of »bese monopolieswmtph they have had long that they olairn' them by right popsttbrion. ’fhe Democratic dggtrine trade,” which meaqfl^Bsriff Avenue only, has never BOOTH BARTOW ITEMS. Mu. Editor :—Below you will find a few items from sooth Bartow. News is very scarce here, and will be so until the wool season opens. Cotton still continues to coino in slowly, and guano is being carried away from here at a rapid rate. There will without doubt be more of it used in Jefferson, John son and Emanuel counties than in any season in the past ten years. I am sorry to say that our farmers, or a ma jority of them, seem to work as if biindfo'ded. They are so elated at be ing so successful and making such largo crops of corn and oats last year, that they have sown very few oats and are arranging to plant yery little corn, aud even that on their poorest land, and are going in heels over head for ootton, re serving all their best land for it and ma nuring heavier than ever before.— Should there come a drought or a bad crop year generally (and there is a pretty good indication of it), they will be almost hopelessly ruined, deeply iu debt for guano, supplies, etc., their lands heavily mortgaged—the result can readily and plainly be seen. Lawsuits will be in abundance, homes levied upon and sold, families on the verge of starv ation all will be more or less in a more desperate conditirn than over. There is only about one-fifth the area planted in corn this year that was planted last. A terrible homicide occurred just off the line of Jefferson and Emanuel coun ties a few weeks ago. The victim, Mr. West, was a young man ot quiet de nnanor aud habits, and was well thought of in his community. His murderer’s name was Williams. The two were at a log rolling, and some dispute arose as to whooouldoutlift, and William’s curs cd West terribly ; We*t called Wil liams a liar, and stooped down to pick up something he had dropped, while in that position Williams dealt him a ter rible blow with a hand-spike, fractur ing his skull some 5 or 6 inches; Wil liams then picked him up in his arms, carried him to the house and assisted in reviving him and dressing his wound, expressing at the time his sorrow and regret at his deed. His friendB made him leave, and up to this time has not been heard of. West lingered for seve ral days suffering untold agony, when he died. Strange to say, up to the time he died no one eould make him believe that Williams did the dastardly deed. He dimly believed that auother man with whom he had been disputing some time before aud who was present, struck had T1IK SFW RIOKRL. AM iKtA Post-Appeal. The editor of this paper has received a number of the new nickel tive-oent pieces. The new ooin is certainly the handsomest in circulation, both in de sign and workmanship The ‘ head” aide has a strong side face view of the Goddess of Liberty, tho word ‘ Liber ty” appearing on the band resting ou the brow, and baok of this Yankee tiara rests a wreath of laurel. The conven tional thirteen stars surround the head, and beneath it are tho figures, “1883.” On the reverse is the letter “V” in the center, around which are ivy and oak leaves twined about two circled corn stalks, on which appear tho grain and leaves, evidently meant to be etu >]e- matic of the ever freshness and strength of the country’s prosperity. On the upper half of this side, circling the edge of the coin, are the words, “United States of America,” the lower half the coin having the words, “K Flu ribus Unutn.” running about it. It is larger but thinner, than the ordinary niokel, and it will, no doubt, be some time before the new coin gets into circu lation in these parts. Jchi 2). Ashton. Attorney at Law WAYNESBORO, GA.
