If reform were compelled to wait until a reduction of duties or the threat of It would uot affect business unfa vorably, then tnr.ff tnxntUm could never lie reduced, but would iiecoasa- rlly nlwnya increase when changed nt nil. llut while tlila la true, the period of uueortnlnty during which this lull tvu pending was unjustifiably Imip. The business men of tUo country and citizens generally felt thill tlley were tho victims of the lncompctcncy if not of tho selfishness of politicians. They will 'demand a rest, and they will get It. llut tbo protests against tlio protec tive features of the bill do not for this reason go for nothing. On tho con trary, they mean u great deal. They mnUo tho luteiitlou* of tho Democratic party clear, and we buvo not the slight est doulit that cveutuidly those Inten tions will ht» carried out. The delay, probably, will not bo very long- 'Tho uext court, vw, It Democratic lit both brunches, will amend tho, law until It 1ms assumed a shape satisfactory to the party. Tito next session of the prescut congress, howover, need not bo expected to deni with tlto matter.

The representa tive* of Now England uml the Middle slates, almost without regard to party, voted ngainst It. They boUevad that tho prosperity of the people whom tbry represented depended upon the continuation of tlio high protection they had for many years enjoyed. Eleven yean afterwards, wliou tho reveuue produosd by that free trade law, wore excessive, another tariff bill was Intro duced. carry lug wait lower rates of duty, aud the majority cl tho members •from thnac stales, without rvganl to party, voted fotj It.

Tlmt auitemeut was as false as the assertion that this was a Democratic m.-uare. On the ques- tioa of tariff reform it never was uml never cau be a Democratic senate ns nt present constituted. The question was between tho semte bill and the McKinley law. There the choice was to lie made, and every one conversant with the situation so undertt/od It."

If HILVEIl DOLLARS WERE WORTH no CENTS?. The Telegraph I* nskal by ouo of its friends If u man who was In possession of $100 lu gold would not gain $100 if the mbits were opened to the free coin age of silver nnd the result wn» legal tender silver dollars worth only SO cents hi gold, lie seems strongly of tlio opinion that tho man would ranko such a gain. v The Telegraph la unable to agree wltU him in that opinion. Under tho clr- cumstapce* he describe*, 100 gold dol- lam and 200 silver dollars would be worth the same. Tlio man might ox- chiuigo hi* 100 gold dolhirs fur silver dollars and hnvo twlco as many, but lie would have gained nolliliig by the oxcliungo uules* he used the silver dol lar* to pay a debt contracted before tho change in the standard of value oc curred If he did so use his silver dol lars, he would lm able to legally sat isfy each dollar of debt with n silver dollar. In effect, he would lio settling with bis creditor at 110 cents on tho dol lar, nud could keep tho other I/O cents In' bis pocket—a clear gain to him, ex cept for the wear und tear uu Ids con science, anil a clear loss to his creditor. If, however, tho man had do debts to pay, we seo no way In which lie could profit by exchanging his gold for silver. He could buy n's much with hi* money In otto form or tlio oilier, whether It wero called $100 or $200. Tho value of tho gold Itoing real, it could not bo used to cheat anybody, ami would not tie In demand for puylug debts. DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY. Tlio statement made by Mr. Sayers, chairman of the house appropriations committee, which Is published else where, shows that tho Democratic con gress Is making tvn earliest and sue- eessftd effort to reduce t|)c expenses of Ihe government. The appropriations made by this congress during Its ses sion of more tlmu a year hnvo been smaller by many millions than these of uily congress for several years. As compared with the Itecd congress, coni trolled by the Republicans, they ua? less by about $50,000,000 a year. Tlio showing is a good one. GOOD UY. SWEETHEART., SENATOR -VEST’S - SPEECH.

To the Editor of the Telegraph: Par- di>n me for again catling into service your valuable space to notice un article uf August 2, over the signature or O. it. Houser vt' fori -Valcy. Hu article calls to ur.nd on amusing incld-nt which occurred to myself and an Iraish Dries mason wnom 1 engaged to build a su/ne flue to a school mouse. He had no plumb or leva! uml expressed doubt about getting the flue straight, i told him It ae go: it eiralght enough to draw the amoke and a contribution from the pa irons to pay for It, that I would be satisfied, and when Sie fin ished and came down und looked up st it he remarked -that he had burmed on getting ic straight, but thought it was crooked enough to draw the atten tion of all Ihe <1—d fou.s that passed by. Now since Mr. Houser Iras seen tit -to auuck my Integrity and bring into question my Democracy he must not be susprisi-d if I reverse the pitch- fork and come at him point foremost. Now 1 am really surprised a* some of hi* statements. I don’t know chat Mr. Houser -would willfully and know ingly misrepresent a matter, but i do know that' he haa handled the truth quite recklessly tn several uf his st'ate- menu In hi* article of the second In*:. He said that Mr. Colyer eras declared the nominee and 'Mr. Duncan con tested- The -truth la that Mr. Dun can was declared the nominee by a ma jority of seven vote* and Mr. Colyer contested on the ground of illegal votes, and as sound und pure Demo- ci-a-ts nosing from pure and unpreju diced motives, mot willing to run the man over the party and its precedents and principles, ihe then executive com mittee cheerfully granted him a hear ing, which resulted In him being de clared the nominee by a major,'ty of 21 votes, and 'without going into fur ther detain tl Anally resulted In giving the office to Mr. Colyer. the contestant, and not’to Mr. Duncan, the contes- tee, and the same results would have followed In tMs case hud the same sound Democratic principles character ised -the action of Mr. Houser when casting th* deciding vote on my appli cation to be tiearil on the ground of illegal votes, hence my comfort and f tetcedent In th-ai case. Now he aays the Fatgan-Bauimun contest wus before the legisiuuure. So It was, but It was between Houston county claimants, and both Democrats, and hence It was prop erly a Houston county contest. Consis tency is a Jewel'that Mr. Houser seems to be a slonger to. He oaya that our people are satlsfled and pay no atten tion to my dying kick, nnd yet he says tney ure on tipioi- of expectation to pee my next race bn -the political stage, clearly potniUng to -a probable inde- Pendewt candidacy on my part. ■Now 1 have always noticed that peo ple who live tn gaits houses take great risk to be costing stones around pro miscuously. 1 have In mind a case of u tie between OIr. Houser and Mr. Skellit for tho nomination for candidate for -tho office of mayor of Fort Val ley. and after the tie hart been se-ttled in favor of Mr. Bkellle by arbliralurs chosen by themselves, the only thing that saved the good -town the misfor tune of having .Mr. Houser on them as nn independent onndldake was the superior strength of hts cook skirt and the great welgnt of his frlehds put upon It ta hold him down. ’ Now I tnlnk Mr. Houser's .tiptoe expectants represent the same crowd tha-. were to be drawn by the crookedness, of the Irishman's stone flue, and after having allowed them to restrain In -that totter ing tiptoe position until 1 think they have been sufficiently punished for their unpardonable folly, I shall then proceed to the work of easntf them down to a more natural Democratic position. Something 'that, perhaps, tney are not very well acquainted with especially If they learned It upder Mr. Houser's reformed friend, Mr.-G'.les, who, by the elpotlon returns of 1X13, is shown to have peen slewed to ihe offle* of ordlntiry pf Houston couhty on the straight out Republican ticket and whom ‘Mr. lluuser seems-willing io force upon the people of the county in tho October elections. Mr. Houser refers sarcastically to the h*t of Ille gal votes submitted by us for boniest und broadly asserts mat he know# they were nil right, and he offers nothing (o back up hts numerous, absolutely false assei-tlons. He usserl* that no one believes the resultl -.would have 'been changed had the Contest gone on. If ho I* honfst ln what he say a, why was he so opposed to being mvasl«fU<edf lie cJuinis io write to correct wredig Impressions Jhai 1 have mails on ta* outs/de world, und eays, coll our people pay no attention to Pwfee. Now; l would infoiln t|.e gen tleman that i did not, emp.oy t-'ounm and drive over uuo county gelling up ei.uencc. Just tor fun, as my old friend George Maddox of Fort Valley and io tho paatvr of Ms church, when tvaviug an overdose of John Barleycorn great pain and racket, nod was, d«K«d i>y in’-* S*A»t° r M nc ' N%UI BlcK ; HlQ k h e ii ae* do you suppose l am doing ail ttola Ju*t tor fun? Now l don i Know wno no rater* to ^ e .*5 no nay* our people. He certainly don < mean DdntocMie-lf h* oliasr noi In possesion of ihe. trutn ut rae Toattvr or is not dl.powd to sneak U. The urllc.e from Denard tn list week's Home Journal, as well SS a number of teters 1 have received und many strong personal appeals from as true Democru** as there ure tn Geor gia to enter the raoe. not os an Inde pendent, but aa the Democratic nom inee, on the ground tnat Giles Is not ihe nominee, go to show that our peo ple. th* Democrats, ere greatly exer cised over the situation, und well should they be. wnen auen bombastry and egotism as characterised by the elec tive comniltec at U* last meeting, should be put upon them. Mr. Houser charges on me that 1 Ig nored I .leg.) I votes cast for myself looking up for the contest. 6o I dkl. because t was not engaged for Mr. Giles, as Mr. llouser was now Messrs. Gile. Houser & Oo., have cited quite u long list of laws to sustain them In tbelr actions. Now I snail submit btK tittle law und rely more upon facts which ars better nnd safer for Dem ocrat* in pa ray matter* between them selves. In tha acts of 1X91. ruse 210. Is tne first and only law In Georgia that makes a nomination a legal election, and tl>« simply doss so by the party tor the government add nunag.-nent of its party selection of candidates for office. In thla case th* party rule re quired notice of contest to be served In fifteen days, which waa done.. The new of UU. pug* lit. on contests, re quires service on the committee tn five days, wntch waa done by leaving It at his borne as the law requires, and Giles and counsel eet up the unheard- of plea that service upon Giles In person vrsa required, nnd that five days no tice meant front a period and not to h period, a tMng unheard-of in legal business. A thin* may be required In a stated period, as was our notice of contest, but the time of notice to be given when an action Is brought against a party, aa 1n this case, always runs to tbs period of bearing and not from a period. » Mr. Houser talks about many weeks of tlm* being occupied by the contest, t was one of the board that acted In the Duncan-Ootyer contest, and tn ana Jty we did tho work, and could have Jon* the same ta tbie alee had we hare been met with an honest purpose on the part of Giles, Houser A Oo.. cared to go honestly und earneetly Into the work, but they wet* nfratd to stand th* rachst. Now, Mr. Houser, very kindly re lieve* me of the unpeasant duty of charging and proving he was mistaken, by simply saying that lie did not believe I wae advised by lawyer* and Demo- w-i-ta. aa he stated, to enter my eas iest. ft Is very strange that Mr Iiouaer labors so Hard to make the Impression that no one waa In sympa thy with my e**e, in the face of (he facta that fourteen out of twenty-nine of the committee voted to sustain me, and three out of c-ie four lawyers on III- -■ jin mi:'- • were on my K--1-. An-1 the nets show -that of the impartial vote I bad -a decided majority, a* veus fully demon Strata* by the conduct of •he bomt/a*Uc chairman, who could, wttb difficulty, be pulled down from a set speech" to influence the vote of the committee to disqualify a member./rogi acting In the contest case, when coun sel on twth aides had been heard from, and the only right the chairman had In the mailer was to vote In case of a tie. Now, in conclusion and for the relief of that tortured tiptoe crowd, I will say that I am 51 years old nnd have never broke rank* nor showed the whits feather yet, either In word or act, nnd I Shall certainly not set out st this late day. If I stood -the racket In 1873, when Mr. Glte* pulled on the black' mantle, I can surely stand In this bright hour when the effulgent splen dor of th* great sun of Democratic victory Is io guild our banners all over this Southland. And I sky now. what 1 said to « friend last week, who sought to draw me out on the subject of en tering the canvas, my answer *o him was that i could not be Induced to do so under any circumstances, not if I could be eleoted by it- majority of three to one over my opponent .without leav ing borne at h1l. I am a Democrat and shall do as much to secure a large majority for Democracy tn October as nny man In the county, with no giwatrr field to work In. and though I am a* sure that I aim the Democratic nominee of this county for the legisla ture. aqd Mr. Gles Is not, as I am of my life. Yea: 'If the party oan stand him I can, nod I Shall-support him with all my force when the /lay comes. * Chester Pearce. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S.

Graduated In the famous class of Ml at Antra polls, he took a conspic uous part In naval history before tho war, serving lu the first expedition to Japan under Commodore Matthew Perry, tile l.lireatentd wur with Lopes in South Amerioi, and In California against the Mexican*. Tendering Ills sword to Ills native Georgia -niton #he seceded, be was, at Admiral Semmes' req test, assigned to duty «3 first lieutenant and executive officer of the Sumter, then fitting for a cruise to New Orleans.

The history of these ves sels, from tho statu of the Sumter at Now Orleans to the bloody deoth of the ‘‘Alatmana" lu the English channel. Is a romance of the «?jo far surpassing any ever penned by Capt. -Maryatt. in commenting on tho fight with the Kcursarge, Admiral Semmes Bays: "The ship settled by the stern, nnd us tbo taffr.all wus about lobe submerged Kell nnd myself threw ourselves into the sex and swam out tar enough from the sinking ship to avoid being drawn down Into the voi'.ox of waters.

A noble Roman once slabbed his daughter rather than she F-hould be polluted by the foul embrace of the tyrant. It was with n similar feeling that Kell and I saw the Alabama go down. We had burled her, as we had christened her, and she was safe from the polluting touch of the hated Yan kee.” , Capt Kell married hts wife. Miss Hlanchc 'Munroe of Macon, In Christ church in 1856.
