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, § Fellow clttsrn* "We live In the Mouth, expect to grow Independent hfflVtn pro* perous here; but you must j, 0 t forget one Ulng-Hind that dne thing la we have a thermometer b>' which wo are compelled to live; and when It rise*. w,» rise, but If It falls, we fall; and that thermometer * Awarded Highest Honors—WsrM'e F*ir.

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 til. iiitllu litl |>rn •••* mi in miifiu'ltiii -. 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 protection senator*. 1 am also glad that the present administration has put the wheel, tariff reform, in motion; and If the present administration Is kept In S ower, with nddltlon.il strength, the outhern farmer will ovldently receive the greatest benefit. !'mu*t, and you must, arouse the people to a sense of tlielr Indlspenslble duty.

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.
