OUR NEXT SENATOR ?
eminent degree possesses nil those qual
ities, which malto him the peer of any
man who has represented the huittli
on the floor of the senate since the war.
Va'e will eu'ouiii just one more Tu-
murlt. We do not .visli to appear un
kind, but It appears to us that If our
Charleston contemporary will' concen
trate Its altentlou and energies upon
the preseat senatorial cumpalgu : n
South Caroline, It will Uml an ample
Held for usefulness, without obtruding
Its advice upon the people of Georgia.
THE REASON WHY.
Among the bills introduced by the
Western Popul.sts In congress was one
providing that the government assuats.
the mortgages oa farms aad allow the
mortgagors twooty years In Which to
pay up, charging rn the moiiut'.mo 1
per cent, interest on tae loan. It has
been estimated that more than ten bu
llous of dollar's would he required to
carry this law into effect.
There is no doubt but that It tvould
be a pleasant thing for the farmers of
the country to have their debts paid
liy Uncle Sam. In fact at is safe to as
sume that there are few of ns in any
of the walks of life who would object
to the government assuming our debts,
giving us twenty years In which to re
pay the money, with an Interest charge
of only 1 per cent, per annum.
It must l»e remembered, however, that
these billions of dollars have got to
be paid by taxation, and the taxes are
to be levied without reference to the
amount owed.
A few figures taken frqm the census
i (’ports may not bo uninteresting to
the people of Georgia in this connec
tion. According to the eeiisns reports
on this subject. which are anproxlmate-
Our esteemed neighbor, the Augusta
Chronicle, of which paper Senator Pat
rick Walsh is practically the owner and
proprietor, published on Wednesday
last on its editorial page an elaborate
leader from the Charleston News and
Courier touching the senatorial canvass
in this state. Our space does not ad
mit of otir giving this article in full, blit
we submit to our readers the followin
extract containing rile portion upon
which we desire to make a few coin,
ments:
“We are glad, therefore, that the 8a
vannah people ore discussing the chances j ]} . ,jj e average p er capita of
of the different candidates for senator, ^ mor ,g n ge indebtedness in the United
olui,-a is ?!">. The per capital ,,f mun-
I u oilier

the more certain .hey are, we believe, to , , ,
accept the opinion of the News and Too- ‘ ' ’ “ *' >rK 1 *
tier that Mr. Walsh is by all odds the I words, the people of Georgia would be
most available candidate for senator, and j taxed $00 apiece to carry out Una
being the most available candidate he scheme, while they would receive of
would, under the circumstances, .make the
best senator. There Is no other candidate
In the Held, with the exception of Mr. Tur
ner. who can be compared with Mr. Walsh
In respect of ability and fitness; and Mr.
Turner can far better be spared from the
senate than he can be spared from the j
house. We really do not think that the |
other aandkiates for senator are worth i
considering, as none of them have ever
accomplished anything for Georgia. Mr. j
Turner has made his mark in the hoi se,
the amount raised only $15. Does this
strike the cltlitens of Georgln ns n good
investment?
Examine the figures further and we
get this result, comparing the thirteen
Southern states with thirteen Western
states In which the Populists arc
strong:
MORTGAGE INDEBTEDNESS PER
CAPITA OP POPULATION.
Southern States—Texas, 542; Florida, 510:
sending $20 in money out of tho coun
try, but afforded the fanner ail oppei-
I unity, which he would otherwise not
have had. of selling $20 worth vf his
product io Gicui Britam.
The steel In question nius: as a rule
be paid for with Amcrlcfia cotton or
wheat or pork, for which there will lie
uo market and no demand until the
English customer with his product is
permitted to come in nud trade for It.
Cotton Is low and wheat Is left pretty
much ns a drug on the hands of the
Texas farmer today, because protection
has excluded the customers who would
otherwise consume these products. Too
Argentine .Republic nnd other wheat
and cattle countries have been den 1-
oped and built up by British capitalists
and consumers who were excluded
from this country by unbearable exac
tions. If some hostilities of protection
were indefinitely continued, It will lw
a question of time when there would he
on customers oven to Llverp.nl for
American cotton. There Is neither
sense nor patriotism, front a broad
American vIcyv, In cultivating blindness
to the disastrous trend of a protective
system of repulsion anil exclusion.
When we take $20 worth of English
steel we sell $20 worth of onr surplus
wheat or other product. When wo buy
$20 worth of china or Chem’Cnls from
Germany, we sell to them at least >'■20
worth of our surplus pork or other pro
duct. As the demand for our products
increase, the prices of cottou, wheat,
pork, etc., will go up, in money or in
kind. On the other hand, to exclude
customers Is to hold our resources until
they rot on our haiils. The farmer
whose market has been mercilessly in!
off will be pinched to the famishing'
point to buy the protected products of
his own country. Lug,station which
1ms brought him wed uigh to that con
dition has been a grievous trouble, or
course his Inubillty to buy, brought on
by the commercial stagnation, falls at
last upon the protected pet or privileged
favorite who must depend upon the
victim whom he has depleted. Hence
we saw In the devastating reign of un
mitigated McKinleylsm factories dos
ing dowr. and protected industries dy
ing of rot. Protection Is selfish, nar
row, short-sighted and suicidal.

Under assignment of Chairman Clay
of the state cnmpa’gn committee, MaJ.
Bacon has duriDg th * past week spoken
for the cause of Democracy at Ilaxfey,
Butler, Fayetteville, Trenton and Dan-
' tolsvllle. W1 ,
At Baxley, where be spoke on the
17tli, two thousand people had gathered
and It Yvnt Indeed a Democratic rally,
because uny Ut those in at
tendance who were not Demo
crats must have been converted by
the grent speech delN'cred by MaJ. Ba
con. It has been said that muith Geor
gia Is the Democratic stronghold of
the state, and MaJ. Bacon’s effort will
-certainly help It to retain that distinc
tion. The speech was enthusiastically'
received by the large crowd uud every
one went away confident of their cause

date tlie necessity of work.
The points which this gentleman
makes are well taken. It Is true that
there are thousands of Democrats—
faithful Democrats, too—who take lit
tle or no interest in the pending cam
paign. for the single reason that they
have no fear that their party will l>e
beaten. Their confidence may have a
Bound foundation. We think ourselves
that there la no danger of the party
suffering defeat. But admitting that
there Is no danger of defeat, the ueces-’
sity for hard work, for bringing out
tlie full Democratic vote, for inflicting
rn annihilating defeat on the euenty,
Is not less for that reason.
Wlmt wo mean Is that tlie prosperity
and peace of the country, quick recov
ery front the disasters of tivo or
three years, absolutely require that tho
ropulist movement shall be decisively
cheeked. In no other way can confi
dence in the future of the country, in
the safety of ' property—particularly
the safety of capital invested Iu the
good faith of others- -bo restored. That
movement Is everywhere recognised ns
a crusade against men whose business
it Is to advance capital for temitorary
use l>y other meu engaged In trade and
productive.euierpr'ses; If It were suc
cessful, the forumes of these men, or u
large part of them, would he practically
confiscated. While tho movement has
any clmnce whatever of success, there
fore, the wan who control capital will
be very cautions iu parting with it,
and to the extent that they are enu-
Haim IKav limit
progress toward recovery. Hecovery
cannot be complete until meu who have
money to Invest themselves or to lend
to other people' fur Investment can
feel that they nlll take no more than
tho ordinary bus'ness risks of loss. So
long as to these risks Is added the dan
ger that by a political change the
money they Invest may be lost to
them they yvIU prefer to keep tltelr cap
ital idle and safe.
For this reason the Democratic vic
tory on October 3 in this stale might to
l>e so complete,'so overwhelming, that
nobody thereafter cut fear that Geor
gia, to Its state government or its rep-
reseutaiiou In congress, will ever be In
Ihe control of men who expect to make
everybody rich by legislation that will
confiscate the wealth of all who have
already acquired mure loan a compe

time when we In Georgia will feel the
effects of this revival which is so ap
parent lu the Eastern trade centers. It
is true that the price of cotlon, the sta
ple iTuoasy mop of Georgia, ,s exceed
ingly low, and this fact under ordinary
circumstances might retard the return
of good times with us, but It Is equally
true that this cotton crop has been
raised at perhaps the smallest of any
crop since tho war, and that the Geor
gia farmers are in better condition
financially than they have been In a
long time, If reports from various sec
tions of the state are to be believed,
hence the low price of cotton will not
hurt us as much as it would have done
in former years.
Tlie Telegraph feels sure that before
tlie end of 1894 the people of Georgia
will be to better oonilltiou than they
have been for a long time.
UNHAP/’Y BRAZIL.
From Brazil comes rumor which de
clares that those who ivere most prom
inent. to the revolt which was finally
suppressed by President Pelxoto will
once more endeavor to overthrow tho
republic and to proclaim a monarchy
over at least the province of Rio
Grande do Sul. This rumor, however,
la denied by Adm r.il Mello, who v.’as
one of the insurgent leaders during tlie
receut rebellion. Not only is tin; denial
very positive but a countercharge Is
filed by the admiral, who says it Is
strongly tho opinion of litany Braziliaus
that President Pelxoto will refuse to
turn over his o'llce to President-elect
Monies whet; the day for the tnriupira-
tlon of the 'utter comes around. The
Mello hlen Is that Pelxito will soon an
nounce himself as a military dictator,
and .in vappor, 07 oils uouc’iumou ura
admiral calls attention to the fact that
Pelxoto has Increased the nnuy from
14,900 to 21,000 men. has purchased

heavy ordnance nnd large tjuantitles
of defensive material for the forts now
In his possession. The possibility of n
dictatorship Is never remote In any of
the South American countries, so Mel-
lo's accusation is by no means a strange
one, but it Is nothing less than absurd
to talk of tie-establishing n monarchical
government In Brazil or anywhere else
on this oontineut. 'Administrations In

ter states iu our doutest'c affairs. We
concede also their right both of criti
cism aud suggestion. But wo most re
spectfully submit that In this instance
the News uud Courier lias transgressed
the hounds of all decent criticism, uml
has tendered its suggestion on the sen
atorial issue in such forth as to violate
most uupardouab’.y all the proprieties
of the occasion.
It happens that Senator Walsh's
youth was spent la the city of Charles
ton and this may possibly account for
tbe warm interest which our neighbor
is exhibiting In his behalf. Of litis we
do not complain, for It Is very natural,
nor do wo cotup'ala of tho culogiatlo
language used by our contemporary
both as to Mr. Turner mul Senator
Walsh. The Telegraph Itself has had
occasion to the past to speak of both
gentlemen to terms of high commenda
tion; but wo do ihiuk that the people
of Georgia have Just grounds for Indig
nantly resenting the contemptuous
manner with which tho candidacy of
MaJ. Bacon aud Mr. Garrard is muted
by the News and Courier. It will cer
tainly he news to our people to learn
tltat these gentlemen "are not to be
compared with Mr. WaUh to respect of
ability aud fltuesa" and therefore that
“they are not worth considering, as
neither of them has ever accomplished
anything for Georgia.” Such state
ments in a public Journal of a uelgh-
boriug state are simply Intolerable. The
only excuse wh'.cu can be offered for
such utterances Is tlie gross ignorance
of the writer of the article to question.
Wo are astonished that such nn arti
cle should have found admission into
the columns of the Augusta Chronicle.
For nearly three months past MaJ. Ba
con ha* ut-ou on the stump before tho
people of Georgia. In ’.lie entire series
of speeches which be has delivered, he
has msde no allusion to his own csndl
dacy for the senate, nor has ha uttered
one stogie tmfricodly word with re
gard to tbe candidacy of bis distin
guished competitors. nis speeches can
well take rank with,the most cogent
and powerful ever delivered before pop
ular audieuced in this state. They have
been strong, urgent and Irresistible up-
pciilt m favor of adhesion to Demo
cratic principles, and for unity nnd har
mony In tbe ranks of the party: Ills

twenty-five years Is « op»n book to the'
peep's of his native state. From us he

without disparaging tho merits nf the

This bill would be a mighty good
thing for tlie people to the West, who
would get $190 for every $90 they paid
In taxes, but where would the Southern
people bo benefited when they would
get back only $22 for every $!Ki they
id? Doesn't that str.ke our Southern
Populists os a one-sided arraugumeut?

nearly fourteen times greater than that
Georgia. Kansas nearly twelve times
as grout and Nebraska more Hutu eight
times as great. All these are Populist
states.
-Of oourso there Is not tbe remotest
probability that this measure will ever
become a law, but It indicates what
kind of relief the fanners of Georgia
have to expect from the Populist party
should it by any freak of fortune sue
coed in getting control of ihe govern
ment.

EFFECTS OF PROTECTION.
During his short service In congress,
Abraham Lincoln mjule a brief speech
uu the tariff, to irhicb lie said that
‘when nu American paid $20 for steel
to an Kuglish manufacturer, America
had the steel and England had tbe $20;
but when be paid $20 for steel to uu
American manufacturer, America Itml
both the steel and the $20.” This speech
to being extensively reprinted tu the
Republican newspapers, by which It
treated as If It were proof that protec
tion Is wise and right.
If Mr. Lincoln’s argument
sound, it would be true that the United
States has never paid a stogie cent for
Ihe hundreds of mlUtons of dollars*
worth of goods Imported from England
luring the lost thirty yean, for dtirto;
that period more money has come from
England to the United State* than bn*
gone from the United States to Eng-
uind. All that vaat amount of goods
would be a pnre gratuity to the people
of the Unitisl States. .Vs a matter
fact, everybody knows that we have
not received a dollar's worth of goods
from England fur which we did not
pay a full equivalent—bin we did not
pay to motley. We paid In cotton,
wheat, meat and other thing* which we
can produce at 1ms cost than Great
Britain. The purchase of steel which
deprived the American steel mamifac-
tunr of the opportunity to sell $29
worth of his product did not result In
We find in the Jcsttp Sentinel the
following somewhat, romsrlftihls edllo-
rtnl paragraph:
“8hetp owners do not know wlmt tree
wool means under the new tariff bill. It
you don’t know it’s time you were learn- |
tng. It means tbat you are to take :i
cents a pound less tor your wool man

_ . was the proepect of this free wool tariff
On the 18th MaJ. Bacon spoke at But- . wu that has mode your wool so low
ler. There are n groat many Populists | priced for tbe tost year or so.”
In Taylor county nnd tlie Democrats
lmve a hard struggle ahead of them.
The white people are ncnrly evenly di
vided, and there Is no county In tbe
state where Democratic work is more
needed. It is to such places ns this
that speeches of the character VlaJ. Ba-
con Is making throughout tbe state can
be most effective. His clear, forcible
enunciation of Democratic principles,
hi* knowledge of the public question*
of tho day, bis logical argument, free
from appeal to prejudice or passion,
nnd hto exposure of the fall leles of the
Populist* can but make friends for his
cause uud lead hack those who have
left it. Although MaJ. Bacon was to
one of the counties composing Mr. Gar
rard’s judicial circuit, yet not one word
did be say about the Kcttntorin! race.
Ill* W’hole effort was devoted to tho
good of Democracy aud that i>. accom
plished great good cannot lie doubted.
On tho 19th he spoke at Fayetteville,
to Fayette county, during the uoou re
cess of coun. a largo crowd was pres
ent and they showed their Interest to
the speech by thoir strict attention anil
henrty applause. A great many polit
ical s:>eeches have been made m Fay
etteville during the present campaign,
but It 1* the opinion of ill who heard
MaJ. Bacon^tliat It was tho greatest
speech ever'made at this place. It Is
the unanimous venllet of the crowd
that no man could be elected to the
senate from this state who Is his equal
iu statesmanship and who would do
more honor to our people.
On the 20th ho spoke at Trenton to
a large crowd. His reception here
showed that his strength to not cou-
fined to the wlregras* but that ho Is
equally ns strong in tho mountains.
Ills speech was received with great en
thusiasm, and from the very begin
ning he had the strict sttentlon of his
entire audience. His arguments were
unanswerable, bis lode convincing,
and the whole tenor of his speech led
to the inevitable conclusion that the
only party that can ever be successful
In this state is the Democratic party.
It made many friends for Dem do racy
and no enemies. ,
Yesterday MaJ. Bacon spoke In Daw-
sonrille. While we have not yet re
ceived any report from there. We doubt
not that he was received with the sam
enthusiasm os at other places, ami tire
his speech was Just ss effective for Hi
cause of Democracy.
The writer 1s evidently ignorant of
the fact, which a study of market prices
during the Inst forty years will prove,
tltat the price of ivool lias Iks-ii highest
when the tariff was lowest aud lowest
under a high tariff, "’hen he »«ys that
Georgia tvool will he worth It cent*
per pouud less than It has been selling
for, he practically says that It will ho
worthless—that all of It* value was
given to It by protection. As people
will wear woolen clothes Yvhether wool
bo protected or not, this conclusion
partakes of the nl»unl. When lie say*
that the dcellue <n she price of yvooI
during tho last two or threo years lias
been due to the threatened reduction
o', duty, he Ignore* the tact tnat tnc
fall in the price of wool has liecu uni
versal—has occurred In every civilized
and uncivilized country. T’ne Georgia
wool growers need not four that free
wool means a lower price for tbelr pro
duct than they would nave obtained
for It had the McKinley law continued
In operation. The price will depend on
the demand for the kind of yvooI they
grow, and that demand will Ito In
creased, not decreased, by the prosper
ity of woolen manufacturers caused by
the opening to them of the world’s wool
markets. *

Tlie causes of this business revival
arc easily to be found. Pending ilio
settlement of the tariff quest,on, bust
il.-. men in all sections of the country

necessities of their trade. They nude
