touches four questions, v z; American
shipping, the tariff, ownership of laud, and
immigration. He exposes the folly of our
shipping law* which prevent -,i» either
from buildiog ships at home or purchasing
them abroad. The idea that ownership of
land Bhould rest in the state he shows to
be not only inherently unjust but impos
sible as a practical remedy for the evils
which Henry George and his school com
plain of. Unrestricted foreign immigration
Mr. McCullough believes embodies grave
dangers which can be avoided only by a
change in our naturalization laws. It
would be wise, he thinks, to restrict the
ballot to American born citizens. If this
cacnot be done generally the cities at least
should make such a local requiremen ,
says he: “If our naturalization iawa
should be so changed that none
should vote but those who,
when the change is made, have the
right to vote, and that thereafter none but
the native born Bhould be voters, the dan
ger would not be entirely removed, but it
would be greatly lessened. If tills should
not be done—if revolutionists who are
rapidly increasing in numbers in Europe
should continue to be invited to come and
participate in the government ol the re
public how long will not capitalists only,
but industrious, frugal liberty-loving men
be able to comteuip ate the future without
misgivings? If tbe republic is
to be short-lived like those
which have heretofore existed un
restricted manhood suffrage will be the
cause.”
On the question of federal taxation Mr.
Cuilough’s opinions must carry considera
ble weight. He served as secretary of tbe
treasury under Presidents Lincoln, John
son and Arthur, and had exceptional op
portunities for observing the workings of
our fiscal system. Mr. McCullough has long
been a republican in politics, but he can"-
not indorse the position of his party on
tbe tariff. He says: “What is now needed
in the United Slates and needed more than
anything e'se to promote general prosper
ity, is su h a modification of our tariff as
will facilitate exchanges with other coun
tries. The jiiulculitv policy muni he
abandoned. A revenue tariff we must
have.”
• ••••••
"Much the larger part of the revenue
required for the support of the
government and the payment of
the national debt, must be derived
from duties on imports, and it will, there
fore, he impossible so to reduce them that
they will not be protective. A tariff for
revenue, which must necessarily be, to
some extent, protective, is now required to
increase and enlarge the foreign markets
for our various manufactured goods, and
our agricultural productions. Without
these markets our great industrial interests
can never be permanent! prosperous.
Time will be required to overcome what
has already been lo.-t, but ‘ it
will he recovered, and more than
recovered, if wisdom prevails in our
national councils. That a country with
60,000,000of people, rap dly increasing in
population, washed by the At antic and
Pacific oceans, with thousands of miles in-
den ed with the finest harbors; with un
equaled facilities for ship-building; with
a soil better fitted to produce cotton, lo-
bacco, maize, cattle and hog* than is pos
sessed by any other country, and with
equal capabilities for the production of
wheat; that such a country should be
without ships to transport its surplus to
foreign parts is an anomaly in the hi-tory
of nations; that in such a country, with
manufacturers of all descriptions will **•
tablish and skilfully managed, witli’pienty
of capital and cheap money, manufacturers
who have become enriched by our protec.
*tive tariffs shonid claim more protection
than a tariff for revenue will afford, is
unreasonable and unjust.”
Mr. McCullough has gained much by
the experience of a long life and lost noth
ing of the vigor of his mind or the force
of his style. His recent article is
thoughtful, statesmanlike discussion of
some of the great political problems which
confront the country! The most valuable
portions of his article are those which re
fer to shipping and the tariff. He puts
his views on these questions with a force
which cannot fait to impress even tho:e
who do not agree with him.
Clay «»*.«•»*» Know Them
Forty-five years ago, when a tariff aver
sging 33.47 per cent, on dutiable goods was
in force, Henry Clay wrote to a friend in
Georgia as follows:
My opinion that th»re It no danger hcriaftor
of « high tariff i* founded on the gratifying fact
that our manufactures have now taken a diep
root. In their infancy they needed a greater
met ure of protection: but aa they grow’ and ad
vance they acquire strength and stability, aud
consequently will require less protection. Even
now some branches of them are able to main*
tain in dlajant markets auccestful competition
with rival foreign manufactures
This shows that Mr. Clay did not appre
ciate the fact that infant industries, fed on
pap contributed at the public expense,
may become very great and powerful but
never get grown. The infants which Mr.
Clay thought nearly able to stand alone
and make their own living are now strong
enough to enter a contest with the gener
ous people wbo have so long supported them
for the control of tbe government, but they
are not strong enou ( b, they aay, to stand
alone, evan with the support which was.
amply sufficient in 1843. A tariff of 33.4
per cent, satisfied even Mr. Clay, but the
men of our day who claim to be his fol
lowers will have nothing Isas than 47.
imposed by men. They are good worn
and as a rule possessed of more than the
average intellectual ability of men
and women. Their work has nut been
without good effects in causing reforms de
manded by justice. They have accom
plished enough to justify tho agitation
they have kept up and to some extent are
entitien to the thanks of their fellow citi
zens, both men and women.
The ultimate demand of these reformers
is that the law shall net discriminate
against women in conferring political pow
er upon citizens. Give women the right to
vote, they say, and the inlluence which
makes ourhomes pure will make our gov
ernment pure. Conscience will be brought
into politics, which will be corresponding
ly elevated. All other reforms are of
little importance in their eyes compared
with this.
When men come to consider the demands
of these ladies, they will, in the dull, mas.
culine way, refuse to be satisfied with
pretty theories as to what will be tbe result
of having female voters, female office
holders and, mayhap, female legislators.
They will look around for the woman in
politics of to-day, that they may judge
whether woman eieva.es politics or politics
degrades woman.
Iu the bright and charming woman who
is said to be earning $200 by each republi
can speech she delivers in Indiana, we are
afraid they will Bee an object-lesson that
will not incline them la alio y their wives
and sisters to undertake the task of raising
politics to the home standard. Miss Dick
inson is a lady of national reputa
tion—an eloqueat speaker, a brilliant
writer, and is, withal, a person
of refinement and good manners in
he ordinary relations of life. Yet this
lady, when she stood before a great polit
ical meeting in Indianapolis the other
day, began her speech with a reference to
“the hangman of Buffalo,” by whom sin
meant the President of tbe United States,
a gentleman who by liis conduct in office
has won for himself, at least in his public
capacity, the respect of all thinking men-
The average male politician would not
h tve been so coarse in speech, hot Miss
Dickinson was not satisfied to rival the
average politician, and she proceeded to
accept the gage of battle, though it be
(lung down by the devil in hell dr his
present emissary in power in this land.”
Again site meant the President of the
United States.
This language was hardly in keeping
with the refinement and gentleness ex
pected of ladies, and it will not be con
tended that it haa a tendency to elevate
politics. We will not say that it degrades
tlte lady who gave it utterance. Mise
Dickinson, however, evidently thought
it especially salted to the occasion, for iter
speech abounded in more of the same son.
She referred to the noise made by a demo
cratic procession passing the hall ns the
‘discords of hell,” and in a liberal spirit
said of individual democrats that they
were fools, with whom it would be insanity
to argue. Then she resurrected southern
slaveholders, buried this quarter of a cen
tury, ana poured upon them such a flood
of vituperation as has not been licard for
many a day.
Of the sweetness, the charitableness, the
regard for truth, the conscientiousness that
it is claimed women would bring into poli
tics, MU* Dickinson shows no trace. She
differs from the male partisan of low de
gree only in that she is more intolerant of
difift-ence and hate* more bitterly than he.
The masculine “bigetry” of which site
complains because it excludes her from the
ballot box, she more than matches witli a
bigotry that excludes from her sympathy
and understanding ail who venture to
differ with her ou a question of govern
mental policy. It is only fair to remem
ber, however, that the lady is talking for
money, and, doubtless, endeavors to please
her employers. It may be she takes her
cue from them, and, if so, her speeches in
dicate not so much her narrowness and
bitterness as that her abilities are for sale
to the highest bidder. .
I* It Cause nud Effect?
For centuries China excluded foreigners
from her territory aud her citizens were
obliged to do all their trading in the home
market. Even now foreigners can only
enter a few ports, and the interior of tbe
country is an unknown land to them.
China is, therefore, the best “protected" »•
nations. The next best, perhaps, is Rus
sia, whose tariff is the highest in Europe,
and the other nations may be arranged in
the degree of their imitation of Chins's
exclusive policy in about the following
order: Spain, Italy, Austria,
Germany, France, England. It
is a little remarkable, when the confident
claims for protection as a wealth producer
in onr own country are remembered, that
this list would hare to read backward if it
were desired to name in their proper order
the countries of the largest accumulated
wealth ami paying the highest wages to
their working people,
Editor Joseph Mkdili. has bought s
villa near Florence, Italy, and will live in
it tbe balance of bis life. The Chicago
Tribune, which he hsl so long controlicd |
it is announced, will flop on November 1
front free trade to protection, but that mo
mentous event may be postponed a week.
The election will occur on the sixth and
and the decision rendered that day will
probably make a too radical changeof pol
icy unwise. Tariff reform i, about tin-
proper thing.
Vote Next Wednesday.
Next Wednesday the people of Georgia
will elect a governor, attorney general,
secretary of state, treasuier, comptroller-
general am? members of the legislature.
They will also vote on the proposed con
stitutional amendment providing for two
additional justices of tire supreme c urt.
There is no organized opposition to the
democratic state ticket. Id a few counties
independents or third party men are run-
niug against the regular democratic nomi
nees.
But the assurance of victory should not
keep democrats away from the polls. There
should be a full vote polled next Wednes
day. The honest and able administration
of Governor Gordon, the faithful se-vices
of the state house officer,) merit a hearty
recognition from the voters of the state.
The entire democratic state ticket was
nominated unanimously and it ought to
receive a big vote. The democrats io the
various counties of the state have-
nominated their candidates for the Senate
and the House. They ought^to turn out
next Wtdsieaday and give the nominees a
rousing vote. The great bulkof the voters
in Georgia can reach a ballot box on that
day with very little trouble. Polls will he
open in every militia district. For the
past ten yearn the bad habit of not voting
lias been growing on the democrats of this
state. It was-induced by the feeling of
perfect security which succeeded the utter
rout and demoralization, of the Republican
party in this state'. This neglect has gone
quite far enough. The meagre vote of
•eorgia in congressional and presidential
elections has been m do the subject of re
publican sneers time and time again. Our
small vote has been duly explained but it
would be more becoming' the dignity of
the state for the people to turn out in force
on election days. Five weeks after our
state election comes the decision of
the presidential conte t and the c oice
of congressmen. Georgia ought to roll up
a great major ty lor Cleveland and Thur
man. Ten men of character and ability
have been nominated for congress in this
state. They ought to receive a strong
popular indorsement at the polls. Let u$
have a fall vote next Wednesday apd it
will put us in better trim for the presi
dential election. Two year* from now
congress will come to consider the question
of represent*! o,n tinder the elev-
enth census. At the present ratio of rep
resentallon Georgia will be entitled to at
least one additional congressman,,but the
paltry vote which we have recently cast
for our members ot congress will bo used
against us when the next apportionment of
seats shall take place. We can avoid sueh
unfriendly criticism by cultivating the
liatiit.of voting at state and national elec
tions. The pendingconstitutional amend
ment should bo adopted, next
Wednesday. The supreme court of'Georgia
now baa three judges. The work ot the
court is not only too heavy for three men,
but there is an unavoidable delay iu liti
gation which works very general injustice.
Two additional judges would enable the
court to dispose of appeals mnch more
readily, and would afford some measure of
relief t) the judges who now carry very
heavy burdens for very moderate salaries.
The statute law requires that a vote on
the amendment Bhail state particaiarly
what paragraph, section and article it is
proposed to amend. Unless care is taken
to have ballots printed correctly some
votes oo tho amendment may be
illegal. We give the correct form for the
democratic ticket in Bibb county and it
may he adopted as a model for tickets in
other counties with tho proper changes in
the names of candidates for senator and
representatives:
For Governor—John B. Gordon.
For Attorney-General—Clifford Anderson.
For Secretory of State—N. C. Barnett.
For Tre**urer—B. U. Hardeman.
For Comptroller-General—W. A. Wright.
For Senator from Twenty-second Diitrlct-C.
L. Dsrttctt.
For Representative* W. A. Huff, R. W. Tat-
teraon, 8. C. Chambliss. •
For (or against) ratification of the amend
ment of Paragraph I of Section 2 of Article ti of
tbe Constitution.
Vote for the nmendment, and see that
yoor ticket is worded correctly on that
point. Let us have a full vote next
Wednesday.
. Cotton Statement.
From the Chronicle’s cotton article of
Sept. 28, the following facta are gathered
relative to the movement of the crop of the
past week.
For tlte week ending this evening, Sept.
28, the total receipts have reached 128,399
bales, against 89,677 bales lost week,
45,691 hales the previous week, and 39,164
hales three weeks since, making the total
receipts since Sept. 1, 1887, 302,031 balesi
against 654,776 bales for the same period
of 1886, showing an increase Btnce Sept. 1,
1887, of 351,845 bales.
The receipts of all the interior town*
(or this week have beeu 88,258 bales.
Iautt year the receipts of the same week
were 147,886 bales.
The old interior stocks have increased
during the weelt 21,999, and are to-night
61,778 bales less tliau at the same period
last year, The receipts at the same towns
have I teen 52,021 bales less than the same
week Inst year, and since September 1 the
receipts at all the towns are 200,455 bales
less than for the same time in 1887.
Among the interior towns the receipts at
Macon for the week have been 3,504 bale*.
Last year the receipts for the week were
2,974 bait*. This show* an increase for the
week of 630 bales.
Tlte total receipts from the plantatioi
since September 1, 1887, are 349,030
bales; in 1887 were 749,907 balee; in
1 - 86 were 113,919 bales.
Although the receipts at tbe outports the
pant week were 128,399 bales, tJ*r artcml
movement from plantations wts 153,305
bales, the balance being taken frorw tho
stocks at tlte interior towns. Last year
tlte receipts* from the plantations for the
same week were 275,152 hales and fqr 18816
they were 170,385 bales.
The imports in continental ports this
week have been* 10,000 bales.
These figures radicate a decrease in the
cotton in sight to-night of 674,070 bales, as
compared with the samedateof 1887, a de
crease of 371 485 bales as compared with
the corresponding dtrte of 1886, and a de
crease of 375,013 bales as compared with
1885.
Limiting tlie Power of Capital.
It has been repeatedly shown: that the
lwbor cost in a pound of spuu or woven
cotton is less in the United States-than in
England. Mr. Blaine himself is authority
for the statement that the American man
ufacturer pays Ie83,for lalior, when its
product is taken iuto account, thin does
his English rival. This being true, the
question naturally arises: Why can not
American* be sold in competition with
English goods? To this question various
answers-have been given. One authority
states that the English are more economi
cal in lite use of material, so that
while it may be trne that American goods
cost less, pound for pound, than do the
English, .it is not tnie that they cost less
yard for yard; There is probably truth in
this statement, but it is not a sufficient ex
planation. American goods, having more
cotton in them* and not being loaded with
with size, ate of more value and would
make their way iu the mark .-is in spite of
a8mall excess in oost,. if t *ey had no other
disadvantage to cuntend with.
A difference in the conditions of cotton
manufacture in England and the United
States which has much more to
o with giving the former con
trol of the world's markets than
he relative tost of labor is pointed out b..
the Loui ville Courier Journal. It L-
shown by ihe highest authoiity that the
machinery at present in txiu-n e in the
nt<re Eng ish cotton industry probably
e st on an average twenty-fo r shillings
(ti.84) perspi die, and about £24 ($116
66) per loom, including all building and
ther expenses.
With this lo cost of English mills, the
Courier-Journal contrasts thecost, as rep-
re ented in the cipiUlization ol the best
known of southern factories. Thethir cen
establishments of Augusta represent a cap
ital of $5,440,00 , and their average coal
per epinule was $27 60, (Hn 0 lish $5 84)
and per loom $1,0JO (English $116
76 Th-. Eagle and Phemx,
at Columbus, cost $27 per spindle
aud $833 per loom. Those investments
are among the mo;t favorable. In some
southern factories the cost has been as
high a: 548 per spindle and *2,600 per
loom.
If these figures are reliable*it is easy to
see that American cotton manufacture car
ries an immense burden from which the
English is exempt. As the Courier-Jour
nal says, “an aggregate dividend of 15
per cent, in Augusta would be about 75
per cent, in Oldham (the center of the
English spinning district) on similar con
ditions of labor, material, fuel, amount of
product and selling price of product, be
cause the work bos to earn pro6ts on one-
fifth as much money invested aud em
ployed in Oldham as in Augusts.”
This is a startling exhibit, and illus
trates powerfully the manner in which
“protection” limits the productive power
of capital. There are doubtless various
other elements that enter into the greater
cost of American mills. Necessity way.
not have forced our manufacturers to
adopt every possible economy in construc
tion, and it may be true that the nominal
capital does nothin every instapee cover
only a factory’s cost; but it remains
that the tariff does- add greatly to the
amount of capital necessary. As capital
is as much entitled to returns as labor is to
wages (and is generally in better position
to get its rights) the returns on that extra
cost go permanently into the goods pro
duced. The consequence is that not only
are consumers compelled to pay more for
the goods than is necessary, but the amount
of goods produced bf a given amount of
capital is much less. The money that
would build one faelory and give em
ployment to 1,000 hands in Augusta
would almost build five factories and
give employment to 6,000 hands in Old
ham, if the English estimate of cost can
fairly lie compared with the capitalix.tion
of mills iu Augusta
The policy which deprives capital of a
great part of its usefulness, even though it
insure returns to the owners, cannot be
wise for the country at large.
William R. Footer, who skipped to
Canada last week with $168,000 belonging
to the New York Produce Exchange, is a
brother of the Foster who is president of
the national league of republican clubs
and anther of the famous “fat frying” cir
cular, of which the democrats have made
such good use. It is an open question
which of the two brothers is most heartily
cursed by his late associates.
The democrats are trying to win this
campaign through the soundness of their
poi ical principles and appeals to tbe pa
triotism of citixens. The republicans de
