MACON’S TRADE.
Fortuneo do not cbtno In a day, nor
la aucron attained by a afn«la tpurt
of good luck or work, steady pulling
at the oara landa at laat the boat But
two auceeealve aeaaona of good prices
for cotton and peaches In middle and
lower Georgia have advanced theec
sections well along the good way to the
haven of material well-doing.
Mscon, the central city of theae
parts, Is bound to cotne In this fall and
winter for Its good share of the fruits
of the honest toll.
During the cotton eeaeon lust closed
Macon handled aeveral thousand more
hales of cotton than she did the year
la-fore, notwithstanding the crop In the
whole country was neurly a million
lmlea short of the preceding crop. All
Ihe Indications point not only to good
prt,. .. but a Urge crop tlila year. Mo
-•on Will undoubtedly hundlo more o
the elaple during the aeaaon of H04-6
than she haa handled In many a dny.
More cotton at a glvan price means
more money, and more money means
more trade, end more trade means
more end wider prosperity,
Do Macon’S bualneaa houses realise
these facts? Do they know that the
’’coin" la going to be In the land, anil
* are they reaching out for It? Are they
1 preparing to "do huslnaaa'* this wilt
. tar? We suspect that their eyee are
. open. There la an Immense out-of-
, town trado within slaty or eighty miles
of thle city which Macon should go
1 right after. The trade te going iome-
v here, and while Macon cannot ea
ter t to get all of It, she can get the
major portion of It by working for It.
-Community of Interests" among
liter, hunts ought to bring about closer
relations and compact work for the
r.neral trad*. Macon haa In recent
years lost some of her trade to other
hggtnesg centers. Is not ths ueusan of
1904-1 all suspicious tlms to maku a
heroic attempt to get this trada back
where It naturally*belonge? We have
lost none of our avenuec of approach
to this trade. In fact our facllUlsa for
reaching It have tncreeeed In recent
years. Why not go out after It and
bring It bark?

The chief end of moat men has sl
ays bean to gat money, and It always
will be so ns long as money la the tool
by which labor and product* are ex
changed. The passions for air, and
water,and fire and land are aa strong as
the passion for wealth.
The ownership of wealth la no crime.
It la not under the ban of God as a
sin. It Is the love of money—tho greed
of Its pursuit and possession for solely
aelflsh enda—that Is “the root of all
evil/' Abraham had money to throw
at the birds and Solomon was the
greatest exemplar of the free ailver cult
the world ever looked upon.
We all want money. That is whnt
e dream about and wake to work for.
he banker, the merchant, the baker
and the candlestick-maker Jostle each
othor dally In the struggle to get all of
It that la In their ranch. Of course,
when we haven't got much money to
peak of we are prone to be liberal In
our Ideas of how we would act If we
had a plenty. Ilut when we get that
plenty we Just naturally become one
with nil the other plutocrats.
The trouble about money Is that
those who have it li^ powerful wads
generally "shut up the bowels of com*
passion” toward their poorer f eHow-cl t
ixens and sot themselves to uso every
dollar they own as a'hammer to knock
and spoil the remainder of mankind. It
Is tho misuse of moneyvthe selfish abuse
of Its undoubted power, that excites
popular Indignation against Its owners.
Hut the so-called plutocrats are not
the only tough ones- on the human
checker-board. The poor when they
got f»ower In any shape, ran bo uh
brutal and unjust In purposes and ac
tions as the over-rich. Humanity Is
all mads of tho sutjie sort of mud and
when you probe to tho raw you And the
pure animal regnunt In tho whole or
ganism. A tfegger on horse-back Is as
dangerous to tho public good as a mul
timillionaire butting through tho mass
es In an automobile.
Capital too often conspires to oppress
labor and shows a disregard for claims
of humanity and equity, because It
feels that It has the brend of the work
er In Its hands. And the sympathetic
public gets up on Its hack legs and
cusses out the capitalists. Thrn la
bor organises and the unions combine
mid strike. The enterprises and oper
ations of the capitalists ure paralysed
and the supplies of the populace are
mude scarce and higher In prices!
Whereupon ths same public re-erects
itself on Its hind legs and bowls de
rision and damnation on the striking
laborers!
What, then, la the true philosophy of
this strenuous life of endeavor, urged
on by tho Insatiablo appetite foi
money?
All these Ills of avarice and pinto
crncy are due to the common passion
of rich and poor alike. The dominion
of the dollar In all the circles of our
civilisation Is based on ths same omni
present subsoil of covetousness.
Men publicly deplore that the pro
sldency can be determined by money.
Hut how can a presidency be purcha:
unless thore Is s presidency for salo?
And If ths presidency Is for sale who
can deliver the goods but a popular
electorate thnt Is “out for the (join?
The only way to prevent tt|e 9 sftle of a
presidency Is to pjsurtft venal* voters
from having tv* power to barter it for
a cash ration at the ballot-box.

they would Join the Fopullat candidate

But there la another view to take
nf It. We prefer to believe that If
Watson had been full grown and ma
ture with years in the days of Stephens
nd Toomba, and if he had gone out
gunning for the Democratic party aa
he la now doing, aiding and abetting
a negrophlllst candidate of the Re

case, however, the boring Is up. Instead
of through, the mountain. A height
of 8,100 yards has already been
reached, and there still remain about
710 yards to bore. The aim Is to get,
by a funicular line, to the Mer

panoramas of scenery In the world.
The boring, which will be the highest
In Europe, will be Anished in time for

It appears thnt the volcanic eruptions
which devastated Guatemala last year
were really blessings In disguise. The
coffee Ancus, or plantations, suffered
severely, and so gloomy was the out
look that many planters abandoned
their nsh-covered acres and considered
themselves ruined. As it happened,
the eruptions were followed by heavy
and long-continued rains, which
washed away a large proportion of the
ashes and Incorporated the rest of them
with the sol!. In the result the mix
ture proved of great beneAt to the
coffee trees, and the new crop Is said
be ns large again as last year's. Now
the planters who did not get their
share of volcanic dust hre lamenting
their hard plight and looking forward
more eruptions as soon as may be.

Exporting Art Treasures.
However severe the laws which the
Italian government may pass to pre
vent the exportation of her old art
treasures, those who scent n profit In It
are undeterred, says the Manchester
Guardian. The recent discovery of a
valuable thirteenth-century eccleslnstl-
crl vestment which had been stolen
from the Cathedral of Ascoll In South
Kensington Museum, to which It had
been lent by Plerpont Morgan, is a case
In point. Signor RIccL the Director of
the Florentine Gsllerles. in a letter to a
local paper cries aloud for an Inquiry
whether many other valuable objects,
Including the miniatures stolen from a
missal of Plus the Second nt Plenzn,
may not have also found their way to
South Kensington or some other na
tional collection, having been presented
by donors who had bought them, of
course unwittingly, from the thieves.
Signor Ricci demands that Mr. Morgan
be called upon to give the name of the
person from whom he purchased tho
cope in question. In order that Its pre
vious history may be traced from the
time It was stolen. He nlso declares
that the town of Ascoll should bring an
action agnlnst Mr. Morgan for its re
turn, and for damages for Its detention.
