, ADDRESS DY CHAIRMAN GORDON.
HonorobCo Fellow.Tariff Reformers, nnd
all Good Reasoning Cltlicns: The princi
ples und stylo of our organisation at
this present moment demand some con
sideration by tho people of Georgia and
It's moaning. At you know, wo have and
hold only two fundamental principles In
politico-tariff reform nnd repeal of that
infamous und unconstitutional tux lovlcd
upon state bank Usuo, whirh nro at pres
ent a detriment and a gross violation of
American principles; and us my time Is
limited. I win only discuss the tariff us
It atood two weeks ago. For these reas
ons only was this organisation founded.
Therefore, 1 ennnot for once constrain
myself from arguing our political prtncl-
!>le at this fwrlloua hour. Our tariff bus
g.. .-«> an in-lit* el huUd u|"»n Imports,
which only taxes the Busses and pro
tects a few; and that few are capital-
juts, monopolies and certain sections nnd
individuals. Sonu* might ask why dues
the South kick? Why should idte kick?
Ah! I'll tetl yout because Ub Uborvrs
of the Hmithern states go to make up
tho majority of this mass who arc un
protected. Our farmer* and our producers
are the suffering ckiss upon whom all
the manufacturer* of America protlt by
thotr labor and product. And with no
protection for their product on one hund.
but a natural drainage tm the other,
they will perish In mortgage and debt,
and their prosperity will be surrounds
by want, necessity, and last, but not
least, starvation and prostitution. Now,
2 propose to deal very; short with thHi
most and all-important question, and WlQ
tho greotest care, as It Is not only a
party Issue, but a section at one-yea. an
interesting one, §

la our Southern farmer, or staple agri
cultural producer. There are. or ha vs
been, three great evils piuctlced upon
the agricultural Interests of the country.
1. Manufacture* arc protected by a
tariff, which.causes an artificial enhance
ment of tho prices of manufactures In
the United States, Whereas staple agri
cultural products are sold at the world's
free trade prices. This 1s true not only
of the quantity exported, but a* to the
much larger quantity sold for hom6 con
sumption. ' .
2. England being the chief purchaser of
staple agricultural products, the highest
price offered by her is the highest price
at which It can be sold.
3. The highest price that England offer*
for our surplus i* no higher than she
can obtain the same products for In any
other country In the world.
Therefore, our surplus staple agricul
tural products will bring no higher price
than the lowest pries, at which they can
l>e had In other countries of the world.
Mo you plainly see tlr.it ataple agricultural
products raised in the United States, and
principally in the Mouth, and last but
not least, raised by our farmers, of whom
GO per cent, are negroes, are sold at the
world's free trade prices, less cost of
transportation—whether exported or used
In homo consumption.
Out now, on the other hand, manufact
ures which are our necessities are sold
at artificial or protected prices. Conse
quently, as the producers of these pro
ducts are compelled to sell at the world's
free trade prices'and buy manufactures
at artificially enhanced prices, they pay
the cost at protection of manufactures—
or, in other words, saddle the responsi
bility of this great Issue, tariff.
Again, the enhancement of all other
values except the great atopies would not
only bo of no benefit to our country what
ever, but. on the. contrary. It would In
the end bo detrimental, for as aoon os
producers of staple agricultural product#
would be compelled to see at Liverpool
declining prices, It would further tend to
diminish the purchasing power of the ag
ricultural producer, and thereby lower
the demand for labor and the rate of
wages In the South; and this In eplte of
the protective tariff. Therefore, should
tho world's free trade price for staple
agricultural products remain at the low
flguss at which they can be hod now,
'then a low tariff Is not only preferable,
but the total abolition of the tariff will
become necessary, unless the (prices of
the great agricultural staples be artificially
advanced In our country bo as to- offset

ranked by tho operation of the protective
tariff.
However. I am exceedingly and over
whelmingly gr.it*lied that one of the great
parties (the Democratic party) has placed
In It's platform tbs declaration of the
reduction of thla Infamous tariff,''and
they also succeeded In accomplishing some,
thing towurd the deslhed end. though vlg<
orously oppose 1 by un organised set of

the present administration has put the
wheel, tariff reform, in motion; and If
the present administration Is kept In

the greatest benefit.

to a sense of tlielr Indlspenslble duty.

that begins to show to our people pros,

A Young Lady's Desperate Efforts to
Save Herself From Their
Fiendish Lust.
WAS SAVED BV A TIMELY SHOT
fsvo Unknown Seoantfrels Attempt s
Horrible Crime on Mies Nsrjr Ids
Yntesof (lie XVnrrior District—
Armed Men Hunting Them.
A dautar/lly attemp t nt criminal
assault waa committed in <thte county
oh 'tile ThoijAiet&D road fifteen miles
from Macon near Midway church at
noon Friday.
Tho victim of «the villainous assault
was Mias Miry Ida Yates, 24 yeara of
age, and her us*aikra‘:s, there being
two of them, were unknown tramp*,
one of them weighing about 150 pounda,
medium height, light aandy moustache,
and short, stuoby beard; the t other
somewhat smaller und clean shaven.
Both were very dirty and bpne every
evidence of being professional tramps.
Neither, wore a coat.
Miss Yatea, who lives with her sister
and brother-lu-ki-w, air. and Mrs. T.
J. Williams, near Midway church, went
into the garden to look after some
yeat’i, she had put into title
sun to rise, and while there iuanl some
guineas cackling In the high weeds
about >three hundred yarns from the
house. Believing *fhe guineas had made
a newt in the weeds eae determined
to go where -they wore for the purpose
of getting tide eggs. On toer way to
the place where the guineas were
cackling she picked 'up a small stick
und with tchlt she parted weeds in
starch of the n$at. After searching for
some little 'time without finding the
nest Miss Yates upprouihed a fence
und as she did so tv,v> white men sprang
up and grabbed her. Mhe attempted to
scream, but they clapped their
bauds over hfcr mouth and prevented
her from doing bo. . &ne then began
to mruggle -witut Uieta as there wa.*» 'no
mistaking their purpose, out being
overpqwvreu sue oeemne partially un
conscious ana wus completely mi their
mercy vruen some one omy a few auu-
litvid yaras at way fired a guu. Tats
fnyhtened the scouuurels ulni they
lUif ou, leaving Miss Ya'»es so ex
hausted tmtt It \\i\& several fttOte.es
before she could recover sufficient
mrength to rise to her feet nuo go to
Uio house. As noon as taie.was able,
however, aho ran 4o the house and m-
Xormvd her sister of what had bap-
peuod. ^ Word was sent to Mr. Wil-
\vh<* w is ill 'uIk- ilv-L-i. aii'l n •
hastened to the house and, after being
infol.'hed of wuat hud occurred, got hU
guu» mouuted <hta 'horse JUd went in
puff alt ot we tramps, but being una
ble »o find any -trace of them, he noti
fied his neighbors and 111 an hour nnd
n half ai ! ter the crime was committed
about thirty men were in tlu* saddle
armed with shot gun* loaded witn
buckffhot, Wiutoester riiles and pistols.
The whole country for mlUM around
was scoured, but no trace of Ihe tramp*
could bo found. Thu searching party
kept up tCivir search until way Into
the nirht, but were at kast foroed to
give up without success. •
Had the tramps fallen Into tthe hands
of the enraged and indignant farm
ers they would never have been given
a, trial, but would have met wKh sum
mary fates at the cuds of two stout
ropes and tlielr villainous carcasses
filled with iea>l. But the farmers are
atill searching for them and whenever
or wherever found death will be me
ted out to Uhatn in ohort order.
Word was Milt to tho police Friday
night to look out for the tramps as
the farmers thought they would come
to M I on. but : n<* polite kept '.he nut
ter quiet, .fraftng publicity would
frighten the tramp* tvwny. Mr. Wil
liams, however, was In tho city yooter-
ady around with tils shot gun loaded
with buckshot. He fats offered |50 re
ward Cor *the capture of the tramps. Ho
says that whenever gad wherever he
sees one or both of the tramps they
fhttll have the coMoffts of his gun, and
While In the city \te made careful scru
tiny of every pfftaoQ that In any man
ner Tfssemblcd the tramps. Two men
ware lulled and questioned, but proved
to be tho wrong men. Mr. Williams
Is a quiet, peaceable, law-abiding citi
zen with high standing in the commu
nity, but he has put the olllcers on no
tice that he Intend* to whodt the tramps
like they were mnddogs if ho finds
them.
Yesterday Miss YrWes* throat was
greatly swolvii and she suffered from
n •wovere contusion on the forehead.
Otherwise she was not injured wfth the
exception of Slight tlhikes about the
body sustained in hwc struggle with
the men. 6l»e Is of the opinion that
the same two tramps called nt the house
two weeki ago. «*» two men bearing
close resemblance called, and when she
MW them at the gate, nuked ‘them what
they wanted, They asked her if her
husband was In. She replied that site
had no hu>b\iid and they started at
her. She ran and Just nt that 'rime ti
negro woman in the yard cam? up nnd
JoltKd in the nlirm. This frightened
th>* tramps "IT. • Mr. William* n\
IKUffted and pursued them, but could
not overtake them. The general belief
Is that tbe tramps had remained In
the neighborhood or were on the return
trip when they attempted titetr hlenoun
crime Frldiy, which would no doubt
have proven hudMA*fully had not some
one who was hunting birds In tli*» neigh
borhood fired his gun In tho very nTck
of • time.
Min Yates belong* to one of the most
prominent and highly respected fitmi-
lfiN in the Warrior district, and is a
fount lady loved ind admired by all
who know her. The assault has been a
great sN>ck to her and she has the sym
pathy of the community.
