.If Mr. Lincoln's argument were
iomid, it would ho true (lint the United

north of goods Iniporlial from ICiiglantl

that period more money lias came from
England to the Lulled Wittes than inis

wheat or pork, for wldeh there will lie
no market nud no demand until fho
English customer with lila product la

Cotton Is low and whont Is left pretty
much a* a drug on the hands of the
Texas farmer today, Imsmiuso protection

otherwise consume those products. Tho

n quest ion of time when there would he
no cum.aiiers even In I.lverpoil for
American cotton. There Is neither
souse nor patriotism, from a broad
American view, In culti rating blindness
to the disastrous trcnfl of r, protective
system of repulsion and exclusion.
When wo take #20 worth of English
steel tve sell #20 worth of our Mirplun
whent or other prisluct. When wo liny

It can be a question of hut a short

effects of this rovlvnl which is' so ap

is true that tho price of cotlou, the sta
ple money crop of Georgia, is exceed
ingly low,' and this fact umler crd.uary
circumstance* might retard the return
of g.skl times with us, hut I: Is equally
true that this cotlou crop lias been
raised at perhaps tlie smallest of any
crop since the war, anil that the Geor

financially than they have been In u
long tlirte, If report* from various sec

hence tlie low price of cotton will not
hurt us as moch as it. would have done

same period Is repr-wented , hy a total
o! 835,000 new spindles. From these
figures It Is easy to show that the pro
ducing capacity, measured by eplndles,
of the Northern mUla has lncpeaaM a
trifle over 6 it>er centl, while that of
the Southern mlHs has risen -to above
150 per cent, of what It was In J8S9. And
the growth ot the spindle capacity ha*
been regular and fairly isteaUy In the

1890-91. 131;'1891-2. 146; 1892-3. 163. and
1893-4, 125.
A number ot other important facts
ore ascertained In studying .these fig
ures In' relation «o oerUIn espeots of
the cotton manufacturing Industry. In
the first place, it Is seen that (he pro
duction of cotton goods In -the South
must be regarded ns permanent. lathe
pext place the capacity of the Southern
mills Is already very large. Comparing
the aggregate of the spindles Is not the
safest method bf arriving at the real
tlgniflcant point of this seotlonal Com
petition. Take a eltv like Fall River,
however, ami imagine It set In the
South. The mills of ■ Fall River now
contain 3,546,489 spindles, against 2,300,-
009 -below Mason and Dixon's Its*. Or
suppose nnothta- city with as many spin
dles 4o be -planted among our Now Eng-
Uvnil manufacturing towsn. I-ts com pe
tition would prdbaMy dWocste tho cot
ton goods mirket for several years.
Passing finally to <he movement -which
over/body knows Is now In progress
among the Northern mills, largely if
not wholly the result of the develop
ment of ttfiji Industry In -the South, the
onqulrer learn* that the struggle for ex
istence has nlreadv begun. Tho Fall
River and New Bedford manufactur
ers lire more sharply competing among
IhemsiJvcH for the loid In Ihe beat of
marketable goods.

fute the charges, ore given In Mr.
Brown'e statement. That of Fkills
shows that (Mr. B. W. Thornton of Cal
houn did hi* best to get Falls to make
an affidavit implicating Mr. Brown, but
he refused to do so,
‘The loot charge to that I told Mr.
Eltlreo Cornet that If he would support
Mr. Atkinson I ‘would represent him for
nothing.' This could not have occurred
In a criminal case, for the season that
Mr.-Cornet had no such case in court,
as ie shown by the following certificate
of the clerk, to-wlt:
" 'Georgia. Fannin County.—I, J. H.
Davis, clerk superior court of Fannin
oounty, hereby certify that at the Ot »y
term. 1894. of Fannin county superior
court, there were no criminal cases In
nald court against Eldred Cornet, and
no criminal eases In which he was In
terested or concerned. The case against
John Comet, who Is a eon of E’.-ired
Cornet, was disposed of at the October
term, 1893, of the court.
“ ‘Witness my hand and seal this Ao-
giwi in 189'. .r. h. nn-i-i r. a. O,'
And Mr. Cornett maltrs this statement
In regard to his afddavlt. which was pub
lished:
Georgia. Fannin County--Tn person ap
peared before me the undersinnctl, Eldred
Cornett, who, on oath, gays that ho na.1
no criminal ease in Fannin superior court
at the May term. 1891, and no criminal ease
in which he was interested or concerned.
Deponent further swears that ho has
seen published whut purports to have
been an affidavit from him with reference
to what transpired at the primary elec
tion In Fannin county, and deponent
swears that -all that pari of the affidavit
In reference to fines Imposed on Elbert
Falls was either not, correctly read to de
ponent. or was changed after deponent
signed lb Deponent did nit swear to the
facts that said affidavit contained in ref
erence to Falls. This August 4, 1891.
Elder Cornett
AttestJ. C. Powell,
I have no redollccbon whatever <
having any conversation with Ml
Cornett at the primary election, but
I am Informed he had a small appeal
case on the civil docket, and that be In
sists that he came t> me to employ me
to represent Him, and tint I staled to
him that l would represent him If he
would support Idr. Atkinson for governs?.
I do not recollect of making nny such
statement to Mr. Cornett, or having any
conversation with Jilin whatever. Out, If I
did, whether It be right or wrong, 1 am
ready to stand by it; hut, ns tho charge
has no connection with my office, and does
not relate to my official conduct, 1 will
not pursue the subject further.
•'I am not a candidate for any office,
neither have I stated to unymttn tnat I
expected to be a candplute tn the near
future. I have had nothing to do with pol
itics. except to support my friends In a
quiet way, and help to fight tne batllea
of my party, X nave contributed liberally
of my time, labor and means to the sup
port of each. I shall continue to do bo in
future. I have stood In .the way of no
Iran's ambition. It lure been my earnest
desire to quietly attend to my own affairs,
and keep out of personal controversies.
"In 1892 I assisted In representing Judge
George F. Gobc'r before a joint commit
tee of tho general assembly appointed to
investigate certain thorges made ugainst
him. I felt that a good man was being
outrageously persecuted, and f presented
his case with all the power and earnest
ness nt my command. Since that time,
especially during the present year, I have
been assaulted In the most shameful,
merciless and cowardly manner, week ot
ter week, through the columns of a news
paper published in this cliy called the
Atlanta Gazette, and In a little newspa
per published In Acworih, Ga. The mis
erable penny-a-llnei who pretends to edit
the Post Is unworthy of my attentloi ‘

IMr. Thomas svrears most positively
that Mr. Brown "never o* troy time
ma'lc my agreement or understanding,
os ever referred 4o 9-tld oases, In say
manner, to Infiuenofl deponent's tsetton
or conduct In the gubernatorial rose,
rad his/never, «t any thn*. Wad any

ponent tn reference to arid «««• «£
the charge Is a wilful unU deMbersto
S "The r other charges relate to the pri
mary election held In Fannin county.
An affidavit hv been,published from
occB. S. Hidden, in which he says that
I fried to‘influence one Sam Boss, a
Republican, to any that he was a Dem
ocrat arul to vote in the Democratic
primary. I do not think thit Mr. Hol
den would Intent tonally do me an In-
lue'ice. ole mad# his affldivU when
iolttica! excitement was «t fever heat
and without waiting to see what the
truth of the matter was. In order that
the nubile may know how much truth
there ws* In tht« charge. I desire to
submit an affidavit made by Mr. W. XV.
Findley, a reenoi-toble citizen of Fan
nin e-iunty. and Hen. IV. D. Smlth.who
renresented hU district tn the last state

shall be in an open.fleii and in a fair
fight. The public shall know who my
accusers are. Their faces shall ba un
masked, and I will srand before n»y ca
lumniators face to face.*’
"The men who are responsible directly
or ind.uectiy for all that raa Jbcert bom
about him In the Atlanta Gazvutc, says
Mr. Brown, are W. C.,t»ienn and C. D.
Maddox.
Then follow! a most flcatblng denun
ciation of these two men.
“Time and space would faU me in an
effort to portray the unfathomable depths
of rascality to wfoich these men nave de
scended. The English language is inade
quate to give them the lull measure of
their deserts. Two more infamous, das
tardly assassins never disgraced a civil-...
Jzed community, or dlnnonor!d one or the
learned , professions x*f this
Among other things be says of them,
are the following: "it is a union or all
that is low, vulgar, mean and contempti
ble in human nature. As a monumental
liar, C. D. Maddox stands without a rival
In this state. He ts u liar by birch, edu
cation and training. He is not ouiy an
habitual liar and notorious perjmer, but
his moral depravity is only equalled by th#
Imbecility of his mind.
In conclusion, Mr. Brown nays: vi*
brand these men nml eneh or tnem ns
being political bushwhackers, ■-.personal'
cowards and constitutional Hr/t. ir tnia
denunciation la severe, it In lemuse the
facts are true. *Tis nature's pic tine too
