T1IE miO.Ut SCHEDULE,.V
The Republican* arc trying to make
much polltlcul capital out of the sugar
nUiediile of tlio now tariff bill. I hoy
made sugar free, they any, aul thv
Democrats put u tux on It, Ju the In
terest nf the sugar trust. What lire
tlio facts? (Tudcr tto MeKluley hill
sugar was isit free. When reiinid-
tlmt Is, remly to enter Into consuiup-
tlon—It wan taxed at the rale of UU
coals per hundred pounds, aul this tax
was purely protective. It raised no
roveuuo whatever for tlio government,
hut gave to Iho trust imiuy nilllloiis
orrry year. 'Jim light of tho Demo
crats In congress was to tnko away tills
protection to tho trust, anil they arc
bitterly disappointed liecnnso they par-
tlnlly*fulled. Ihlt they did succeed ill
reducing thu tux from UO cunts lo 42 1-2
cents per hundred pounds uul to Uiut
extent mluml Iho oontrihutlon which
thu sugar consumers of the country
will pay to tlie trust In ndilllhst tlio
MeKluley law gave to the sugar grow
ers a bounty of 2 cents a pound,
umountlng lo nliout $12,000,000 this
year, and tills should bo added, of
course, to the UO cents u hundred
pounds given to the trust.
It Is calculated Unit a duty of n cent
n puuud will produce d ' revenue of
$20,000,000. Tho Kepulilleans gave the
trust tho power to collect -il of a cent
a poUnd-or $16,000,000 a year. Tlioy
gave to tlio growers $12,000,000. They
therefore taxed the people ou account
of sugar $20,000,000 a year, and gave
every dollar nf Hint vast mini to tho
*lmit mul the growers, none of It going
Into tlio treasury for tho use of Iho
people. The Democratic tariff hill, ac
cording to Secretary Carlisle's cnlcnla-
tlou, Impuaoa a duty on raw sugar
equivalent U> a little more Ilian ono and
onodhlnl cents per teaiud, from which
tho treasury wilt derlvo n roveuuo of
$12,000,000, mul the sngnr planters
ultout $8,000,000, If they sijcoo<>dcd In
tnklug full mtvautngo of tho protection
afforded them. In addition, It gives
tlio 1 trust about $12,000,000. Tho Mc
Kinley bill, therefore, collected from
sugar oousnmors $20,000,000, all of
which weal to tho trust anil growers;
tlio Democratic law collects about $U2>-
000,000, of which $12,000,000 imes to
thu treasury, the hocus to the favereil
lulcrosts being reduced about $0,600,000
u year.
Tlio showing Is not a good ono for
the nemecratlo bill, when compared
with wluit tho Dianoeratlo party prom
ised mid tried hnnl to accomplish; but
It Is a great deni better allowing than
the Uepubllcuti party made when It
passed tho MoKhdcy hill.
After nearly two years’ delay Hie
msnnfnetiirers of Uir great S-inch end
154Deb pneumatic dynamite guns have
'got their weapons lu rendiucss for a
test by the ordnance olfleers at Handy
Hook. Although the cxpcidiuontH with
idin’.lnr wrapiiis fin Issirtl Hie dynamite
cnilsiT Vesuvius oeem to have demob-
stratod the Impractlcahlllty of tbese> en
gines of wnr for u«e in Iho naval ser
vice, the trials of pucmuntlc guns at
Mhochuryness, England, In 1800, ’ re
sulted In tho uccepiancc of tho weap
ons by the Itrltlsh government, and
some of them have lieon mounted nt
Mllfoid Haven. The shells from Hie
td-incli guns, loaded with 200 pounds
of uitro-glyceronc, have sultlclent ex
plosive force to crash In tho bottoms
of any vessel If exploded beneath Iho
water within fifty feet of Iter. Most
of the shells nt Hie Shoehtirytioss trials
deviated considerably less than this
distance from tliefr mark. As n coast
defense weapon,' therefore, the pneu
matic gun may prove to bo of consid
erable value.
MIL WATSON'S TARIFF IDEAS.
Mr. Thomas II. Watson nlcads. In Ills
psper nuil mi- the slump, for fairness
In the discussion of public questions,
that Uu> people may bo nhlo to pass
upon thoao questions Intelltgeutly. He
Is therefore bound to bo fair himself
or re*» under the suspicion Hut Ills
plea Bln leaded merely to ibxvtve.
He says In Ids paper of I'rltlay:
••Oar article published y set relay headed
This la Democratic,’ states exactly what
the raductlon la the tariff la, using Demo
cratic figure*.
"The reduction Is not as the Journal
stairs, ncarty U per cent., hut I* shout
2.72 per cant.
’To show this elosrly, wt repast a small
pan of our article of yesterday grief,
"Mr. Park*!* stele* that the revenue
which would have been raloed during 1
under the McKinley law would have Men
tltO.on.OX).
"The aeeretsry of tho treasury also e*tl-
mate* that the revenue* which, will be
raised under tha new tariff MU In the
year It* will be 217MWW.
”U Is dear, then, that then will he a
reduction of tll.OM.on, which Is about MS
per rent.”
In this Mr. Wntsou assumes that a
tariff !* high or low in proportion to
the tyvenut? It JtKffpttf H lids as-
sumptlou Is justtilvd by the facts, the
people of this country, without tvgard
to party, hav» In tho past leva terribly
iltedml or have Won densely stupid.
They have nil hellnvvd Hut tho Mc
Kinley Taw xvos a very high tariff law
—the highest the country ever had.
llecouKo of thl* belief they camo near
wiping the Republican party.out of cx-
bteoee In ItDO nod gave It another lor-
rlbto beating in 1*2. llut they wvre
very much mistaken, tf Mr. Watson hi
righv for the urtft Uw which the Me-
KkOey law displaced had produced us
much as $223,W«.iW0 In rowane. Ac
cording to Mr. Wntaoo'g Men, there.
fore. Mr. McKinley reduced Hie tariff
to Hio extent of $20,000,000 or $40,000,-
000 n year. Instead of raising It. ns
everybody else has thought.
Till) MeKluley duty on relbwd sugar
del not pul-any fevonue In the'treas
ury, trad therefore, If Mr. Wnls<*i is
rlghL tltc tariff on sugar was reduced
to nothing. Hut somehow or other the
trust manngid lo pay n g.wd many
million* In dlvidesu'H out of It every
year.
If Mr. Wntoon In rlghL n duty high
enough In tie prohibitory Is, If we un-
tiers!,iial his argument, Hie lowest |s*t-
sllilo duty, and a tariff law made up
of prohibitory duties, so lliat It would
produce no rerenue, the lowest possible
tariff.
We linve nlwnys understood Mr. Wnt-
wm to lath free trailer. Is Ibis the Uuil
of free trader ho is? If so. III* free
trade uml Mr. McKinley's protection
are very marly related.
We hope we lire not In tho least
imfalr to Mr. Watson.

Chairman Wilson, although ho coulil
not carry Ills tariff bill through the sen-
nte over the votes of Iho Havemeyer
senators, bi not without compensation
in his dlsnppolntiinait. At tlie prlunfry
elcetlou held 'n his cougtvssloual dis

West Virginia. Throughout the whole

This good nows comes by way of the
solid and reliable U-iInbrlilge Domboraf:

The lluena Vista Patriot was a strong

The Gatncavllle Nagle, another loyal

The Covington Enterprise Joins in the
chorus timely: "Oen. Evan* Ik'h mem

These chunks of frozen truth are
from the Statesboro HUr: “Democrats
do not slip uround negro bouses und

Populist haulers are doing. Democracy
pledges to all people, regaidless of

Alarming Intelligence comes from Lee

says: “The Populists have Increased

eight then; now they have eleven.”

RHYME AND RBABPN.
THE AUGUST CAMPAIGN.
“O. wblther .are Wh drifting?"
The politician cried*, *
“1 thlulc lt’» to the devil,"
The fat man, hot, replied.
It'» a pity that Watson, Hines Cc Co.
have forced upon the people the necessity
of weltering under this bluing Augui’
run In order that the apostles of Democ*
racy may smash the dangeroua fallacies
and Isms of Populist propagation. -11s
true, 'tUi pity; pity *Us, tis true; but the
perspiring Democrat, an he mops nis mat
ing t.*ountenanc«i consoles hlmsslf with
the thougift that it's a blamed sight hot
ter for the Populists, who have not only
to bear the sun's heat, but the bum is
words cf Democratic truth fired at them
from every stump in Georgia.
LAUGH AND GROW FAT.
Good people, lay aside your cares.
And have a merry chat,
For ’Us a proverb wise that say#
Thro’ laughing we grow fat.
The recent hot wave Is supposed to have
been caused by Cupt. Kolb’s remarks
when he heard tha election returns over
In Alabama.
NOW, WOULDN’T IT ?
O. wouldn’t It be awful nice.
If, as it -whirl* apace.
The earth should slip Tom Watson’a grip
And fling him Into space?
Without Watson's guiding hand at the
helm, the Populist bark, “driven by tne
winds and tossed," would long ago have
been dashsd to pieces on the rock of Geor
gia Democracy, but even his hand is
losing its cunning, and after the Demo
cratic cyclone of next October gets
through with it, all that will remain of
the aforesaid political bark will be its
stempost, stuck high on a sandbank,
and marked: “Sacred to the memory of
departed Populist aspirations.”
"Oh, my friends," shouted the parson,
"are you not Interested <n Uie burning
questions of today?"
“Not much," replied the fat man in the
back pew; “the burning question of the
future is what worries me, b’goah!"
Here is a good ono. The Populists re
cently held their convention to nominate
candidates for the leglelature in Meri
wether county, and, a* Is their custom,
they came from several neighboring conn-
tie* and made a ( showin# of strength
which greatly pleased them. Some diys
later the Democratic convention met for
the same purpose, and about 1,000 true-
blue voters put in their appearance, tuliy
as many as the Populists had been able
to gather from all sources. A. prominent
third portyito was on hand, and, walk
ing up to a Democrat, he remarked:
"Aleck, is this the best you fellows can
do? Why, when we Populists met the
other day It .ook{d like Gabriel foul
bio wed his trumpet." f
"Yes," said Aleck; "but colonel," and
there was a far-away* expresalon In his
eyes as he surveyed the thousand or more
men in sight, “but, colonel, this ’eras
Just the Democratic executive committee,
and some of them were sick and couldn t
come!"
Now doth the thirsty voter seek
The candidates galore.
And With a moet beguiling wink.
He gently murmurs—'’’moreP'
And he not only demands It, but he
gets It—more whisky, more money, more
promises. By these means tho gilded fpol
supplants the man of ability In tho halts
of legislation, and the Interests of the
people have to foot it down the middle
of the road, while the. trusts and com
bines of the wealthy occupy soft places
on the bond wagon.

THE STROLLER.
The expression "to eat crow has
been brought Into prominence a good
deal lately owing to the dlstrubed condi
tion of politics and tne many discus
sions that have arisen os a consequence.
A party of gentlemen were discussing
tne merits of the very signiacant ex
pression the other day, when somebody
remarked that It had a kind of accepted
definition that Juat satisfied everybody
who wanted to use IL oaying that he
didn't believe It ever had legitimate
authorship.
“Oh, yes It has. to'o," remarked a
veteran politician—If his name were
called he would resent the well applied
title—as he squared himself against the
brick wall of Sol. Hose's drug store
to explain IL “I read some years ago
the Interesting history of the expres
sion and It waa about like this:
"Years ago." he went on, “a soldier
on the Western plains was stationed
near a town and- one day wandered out
from camp upon ti pasture. There lie
spied a craw hopping about among the
cows, anil, having hla gun along, aimed
at the bird and killed It. As he did so
a little boy who had been watching
him dashed off with -awl Id yell in the
direction of a distant house. The sol
dier laughed at what he thought to be
the boy's terror ut the report of the
gun, and laying it down carefully ut
the root of a tree, went to pick up the
crow.
"After that eomethlng else attracted
his attention and he did not think of hla
gun again until he heard an angry
voice behind him. and turning around,
found himself gazing straight down the
bnrrel. A furious Dutchman was at the
other end. . He had shot the Dutch
man's pet crow; the boy had borne
testimony to the deed, nnd now for tlio
penalty.
“Sparing you a recital of the heated
conversation which followed, the result
was that the Dutchman spared the sol
dier’s life on the condition that he
would straightway eat the crow he had
shot. The soldier protested to no pur
pose. He linn'lly got perm Union to cook
the craw a little over a Are made with a
few chips. ’
“Then he began to eat But before
he had eaten more than half of the bird
he became ao sick that he swore he
would rather die than finish the meal.
The Dutchman’s wrath seemed to be
appeased by this time, however, nnd
he restored the soldier hls gun and told
him to move on. TJie soldier took the
gun with apparent appreciation ot the
Dutchman'* leniency, but instead of
moving on he Instantly took "lm at the
Dutchman’* head and swore he would
blow his brains out If he did not eat
the other half of .the craw.
"The Dutchman cat Targe gobs ot
crow.’
"He was compelled by rear of death
to swallow the crow In big hunke, and
then the soldier went on hls way re-
Joiclng. leaving the Dutchman nffclng
like a Texas cyclone. The latter swore
vengeance and next day appeared at
the military station and mado complaint
to the company officer that one of hls
soldiers had wantonly shot hls tame
crow. The officer told the Dutchman
to point out the offender and he should
be duly punished. The offending soldier
was identified. 1
“Calling the soldier to him the offi
cer said sternly; 'Did you ever see this
man before?’ (pointing to the Dutch'
man). . -
“ 'Yes, air.’ the soldier replied, ‘I
dined with him yesterday.’
"This answer so amused the Dutch
man, beside* showing him how all hls
friends would laugh at him If the story
got out, that he refused to push the
complaint against the soldier, and to
'eat crow' rather than suffer anything
mortifying or humiliating passed Into
a proverb from that day.”
black Milk, but good.
Butter Like Coal Tar From n Bovine
Freak.
Ed iMareh of Mineral township comes
to the front with a Btory that Is Loth
wonderful and unique, but true in ev
ery detail. About live weeks ngo n
Durham-Altlerney cow, aged 2 years,
gave birth to a calf, and they began to
milk the oow. but were thunderstruck
when they discovered that its milk was
black. The calf, however, thrived upon
tho milk, and last week Mrs. Mursh,
having overcome her prejudices, de
cided to try some of tho milk, snys the
Plantburg Dispatch. It tasted the same
as outer milk, only It was much richer,
arid by leaving a crock of It set for four
hours nearly two Inohea of cream, n
.little lighter In color than the milk,
would raise on the top. Two gallons
of .the cream were churned and four
pounds of butter were secured.
The butter was examined by e chem
ist, who pronounced It perfect butter,
egeept In color, and gave the reason
fbr the color eomathlng yet unknown
to sclehce In the blood of -the animal.
The ibutter much resembles coal tar
and has a dellalous taste. People are
coming from far and near to see the
freuk, and Mr. Marsh has been offered
big sums of money fqr the cow. He has
decided not to sell her. however. In the
hope that toe can raise some more stock
of the same kind. A roll ot butter
will be shortly sent to this city and
placed on exhibition. The milk makes
fairly good Ink and tthe cream might be
ueed for printers' Ink.
