advantages against Itls disadvantages, you
will find a large balance on the wrong side.
Of course, tiie domestic market, the home
market, is improving and has been improv
ing and will continue to improve under any
system of taxation, along with the increase
of population, the increase of wealth, im

tion in the country. Ilut how long are our
farmers to sit down and wait for tbe coming
ot th.it Inline mark' l wiiii li ill.- eeiilleiin-n ol
the other side have been promising them for
lone years?
Tiie last statistics showing consumption
and production and exportation of raw cot
ton in tills country show that in 1886 we
sent abroad about two-thirds of our produc
tion and we consumed in our manufacture
at home, therefore, one-third. The capital
invested in 18SO was $319,0011,000; the num
ber of hands employed was 127,000; now, if
we had been more thau a hundred years in
so developing these cotton interests os to
enable them to take and consume only one-
third of the American cotton crop at priccB
fixed in Europe, how many centuries shall
we have to wait until these factories shall so
develop as to consume all our productions
at fair prices fixed in this country? When
the gentlemen have
SOLVED THIS PUOULEM
to the satisfaction of the American cotton
grower, he will perhaps have patience to lli
ten to arguments showing the advantages t
a home market that will never exist. What
is to become of these products? Are the
farmers of the North and the planters of
the South to abandon their great wheat and
1 cotton fields and undertake the cultivation
of crops not suited to their soil and their cli
mates in order that these gentlemen may
have opportunity to make experiments to
see whether home markets can be made by
legislation? No, sir; these great agricultural
interests must go on and the American
farmer must continue to sell his
surplus production in any market he can
reach and for any price he can get. The gen
tleman from Maine (Mr. Dingley), while not
fearing to admit that the price oi nil our
exportable product Is fixed in the foreign
market, undertook to avoid the force of th
admission by contending that tiie price il
the foreign market wns fixed by the supply
in America. Undoubtedly the supply in
this country has an infiuence in fixing the
price in the foreign market, but the great
controlling element is the world’s supply
and the world’s demand. The American
producers of wheat, for instance, do not
compete among themselves alone in the grent
wheat market of Europe; they meet there
wheat from England, Russia, Austria, Hum
gary and India, and
ALL OTIIEB GRAIN' GROWING REGIONS
of Europe and Asia, aud they sell their
product there in competion with all the
product* and prices of labor on the face
the earth. The lately emancipated slaves
Russia, the ryots of India, who live all sum
mer os rice and milk ana require no gar
ments except coarse cotton shirts and sleep
on the iloor of a bamboo hut, all pour their
products into the market* of Europe to meet
wheat from Minnesota and Dakota, and n<
tariff wc can nut on, and no system of taxa
tiou that can be devised here by the ingenu
ity of man can prevent this being done,
The argument applies to all oar agnoaitafsl
products, and tfie American fanner under-
a lands it. And lie understands I tint
ns long as he is compelled
to export and seii in foreign laud any part of
his product, tiie foreign market is worth just
ns much to him as the home market, because
iie receives there just what he would receive
here after deducting the costs of transporta
tion. Therefore, ia pises of restricting !>>>
niarket ho wants it extended and enlarged
so that his products, which - cannot be con
sumed lierc, can find a market among people
elsewhere. What tiie American farmers want
is a home market in which he can purchase
his supplies as cheap ns Isis competitors pur
chase their euppiies. When he can’t get thU
then he asks that there may bc such
a system as will enable him to purchase his
supplies elsewhere and bring them into his
own country without being unreasonably
fined for carrying on this harmless business.
That is what the American farmer wants.
We want, gentlemen, not only home mar.
kets, but the markets of all ’the world for

tries so that this country may take its place
alongside of the great commercial countries
of tbe world and become rich and powerful
as no other country bus before.
Mr. Carlisle thanked the committee for
the attention with which it had heard him
and explained that ho had undertaken to
speak under several difficulties.
It was generally reported that he was far
from well, and lie appeared to be much
fatigued at the close of his speech. When
he had finished there was a burst of tumultu
ous applause and cheering, which, In fact,
bad been plentifully accorded at each of his
points, and it was some minutes before order
could be restored, owing to the pressure of
members to get near the speaker and con
gratulate him. At 3:S0 o’clock the commit
tee arose and the House adjourned.
Pope’s Missing Link.
From the Summerville Gazette.
There are several errors in articles
which we ace published in the newspapers
concerning the Pone affair. Almost all of
them say it was fifty mile* from Kockrun,
where Pope was working, to the scche of
the crime. According to the best infor
mation that we can get, it is between
thirty an! thirly-five miles. Pope had
worked a good deal in this country, and
about the time of his arrest we heard
several men say that it did not distress
him at all to walk six miles an hoar. It
U ovSslant nitlw
an alibi for him k |e sacw that ha it-ns at
work in Alabama on February 3rd, 1887,the
day when the crime was committod. He
might have been in Alabama on the ffd
and -1th of February, and still be the
criminal. There were three of the wit-
neaaea from Alabama who swore to seeing
Pope on that day. Tiie other witnesses
from Alabama testify that they saw him,
some at one time, some at another; but
not one of them says that he saw Pope on
the third. AH o*f them fix thia date by
the death of a mule. Most of them say
this was on January 31; one, about Jan
uary 31; one, on February 2. We pre
sume it was this uncertainty about the
date which led the jury to decide not to
allow their evidence ta discredit the posi
tive testimony of Miss Minnie Kendrick
that he was the criminal.

Americub, May 19.—[Special.]-Our
firemmic tournament comes off next Wed
nesday, 23rd inst. The E. B. "Youngs, of
Eufaula, are now the champions, having
beaten, in Dawson, the record of 22J
seconds made by the Wide Awakes of this
city; the Young’s time being 21 j seconds,
difference of three-fourths of a second.
The Wide Awakes are anxious to meet the
Youngs here next Wednesday, but will
hardly do so as the Youngs have declined
to come over.
We shall, however, have the pleasure of
meeting, besides other companies, the
Stonewalls and No. 1, of Griffin. We ex
pect a large attendance and pledge a good
time to all who come.
The following domestic drama, which
might be appropriately named “All’s Well
That Ends Well,” was acted in this city
during the past week. The principal ac
tors were two ladies and their two littft
boys, another lady neighbor and her tur
key hen.
The two little boys, sons of neighbors,
found a turkey sitting upon some eggs in
the yard of another neighbor. They took
the eggs one by one and “blew” them, re
turning the shells to their places in the
nest. Not being able to keep the secret,
their mischievous act reached the ears of
their mothers, who gave the boys a good
bogging and then set about repairing the
damage. T hey tried all means at hand to
;et some new eggs to place under the tur-
;cy, but failed. All this time this
lady neighbor was in blissful
iguorance of the state of affairs. Wt last,
as a desperate resort, the mother of one of
the boys went to a gentleman friend, a
relative of the lady, who owns the tnrkey
hen, and a part of her family, foe advice
as to how slip could best repair the wrong
done her neighbor. After hearing all, the
gentleman calmly replied that no wrong
had been done; that the existence of the
turkey's nest was not known by the lady
supposed to have been wronged; that the
eggs were just as liable to hatch as if they
had not been “blown,” as there had not
been a “gobbler” in the yard since Christ
mas. The finale is, mirth among the three
families.
Mr. Duke Pilcher, of Schley county, was
brought to this city several (lays ago for
treatment by Dr. llawkins, for some kid
ney tronbie. Tiie case mi- a desperate
one. and the old gentleman died last night.

During ilia campaign lxst winter Mr.

As time wore on the church came to the
conclusion that it was best to drop the
charges against Kent o£ “cooperating with
the whisky party” and that of “drunken

A Gooti Siam or Cat.
From tha Irwlnton Appeal.
While in Toomiiioro Ire-t Saturday wc
learned that a gentleman living near the
Oconee river put a fish basket in the river
im fall, the river rising until lie was un
able to get the basket until a short time
since, when,, to hi* surprise, he found
lour cat fish in the basket that weighed
even 100 pounds- There were sl-o several
other smaller fish. That is what we call
fishing.
capacity and the general appearance in
side of the building was that of a court
roesn.
Soon after business was begun a young
man, with a note-hook in his hand, was
spied in one earner of the assembly. It
become known that he was seut to take
tiie evidence bv the anti-prohibition or
ganization ot Mutual Aid Brotherhood,
and. on motion, lie was fired from the
building.
Air. Kent was then arraigned on the
charge oi drunkenness, and in his owu de
fence made a few remark*, saying that
whatever had been his actions in the past
he proposed in the future to try and live
a Christian life. He said he had sinned,
but (lul not acknowledge the charges ol
drunkenness. God was willing and able
to forgive sinners, and he thought a
church should do likewise. The witnesses
against him were not examined, as they
hail testified before the deacon*' meeting
The ru es of the Fifth Baptist Church
are very Btrict, and when a member is ever
proven guilty of drunkenness, the mem
bers can expet him if they so desire, and
if his couduct is that oi sorrow and re-
pentence he can be tnken back. The vote
was taken and Mr. Kcnl was expelled.
Air. Kent denies tiie charge ot drunken
ness in toto, and says the only wrong he
can see nkout his conduct, if any nt all, is
that occasionally he indulges in a class of
beer, which he thinks he Gas a right to do.
lie thinks the entire matter a scheme of
persecution, and says that lie believes Dr.
J. B. Hawthorne, pastor of tho First Bap
tist church, nrlffmatcd it. He thinKs
tiie Doctor lias had an extreme dis
like to him. On the Sunday evening timt
the prohibitionists opened their campaign
last November, Mr. Kent and Dr. Haw
thorne engaged in a hotcolloqtioy over tho
effect* of prohibition in Atlanta, and
sinte then they have not been on good
terms.
Tbe members of tho church deny that
Dr, Hawthorne was the instigator uf the
expulsion. They fay it is a simple ease oi
the violation of the church rules and
that their action was such as wns made
their duty under the evidence. They are
willing to take him hack after thre
months, provided he will agree to repent.
It is not likely that Mr. Kent will attempt
to he taken into the church again.

Pierson lost from tbe start, but about 2
o’clock thia morning he recovered $40 000

however. One of hi* old partners is un

fame and fortune u a gambler.
