Prof. M. C. Sanders is authorized
to receive ami receipt for snbswip
tions to the Gazette and to make
advertising contracts.
We present Hoke Smith's Gaines
ville soeech. Whether you are a
“goldbug'’ or a “silverbug” yon may
learn something by reading the
secretary’s argument.
Notwithstanding the cry of hard
times, we know of Men in this section
who are. paying for land bought on
time, an l t. ey are meeting these
payments witfl the product of the
farm.
The officials of Texas, it is believ
ed, will prevent the Cmbeit-Fitz
siinmons light taking place in that
state. A most of those who will at
tend tins fight wd! be from northern
cities we think that these toughs and
s|*>rts should stay at home with their
fights. _
The Constitution has at last ad
mitted doggedly in head lines over
a dispatch that President Cleveland
will not he a candidate lor a third
term. The Constitution’s unreason
able abuse of the President has made
friends for him and his administra
tion in Georgia.
We stick to our original proposi
tion, that agitation was at the bottom
of the panic. Large manufacturers,
ard importers <li<l not know what
kind of products they would have to
coin pete with, nor what kind of
money they would receive for their
goods, bo rather than run any risk
they closed down, throwing millions
out of employment. Other industries
dependent upon these were also
closed down and more men were
thrown out of work. These great
armies of idle men everywhere in the
Industrial regions, who were formerly
large consumers, were now non-con
sumern. The market for farm prod
ucts being greatly contracted the
markets were glutted and prices on
everything that there was not a
scarcity of ruled low. However,
there is no fear now that there will
be any serious change in either the
tariff or financial laws, and the big
mills are starting up, wages and
prices advancing and prosperity is
surely returning.
Chairman A S Clay says the finan
cial question should be settled inside
the party:
“At the proper time the Democrat
ic State Committeo will be called
together, a primary election should be
ordered to elect delegates to the stale
convention, which convention will
elect delegates to the National Dam
ocraiio oanvention. The Democrats
of Georgia should go to the polls ami
express themselves for or against
the free and unlimited coinage of sil
ver in accordance with their convic
tions, ami when the majority have
spoken on this issue and a platform
has been adopted both State ami
national, then it becomes the duty of
every Democrat to accept tho result.
The will of the majo.ity of the party
convention is binding upon all Demo
crats.”
Have faith in tho future? Have
faith in the land? Stick to it. It Will
not disappoint you m the long run-
The good common sense of the
American peoplo will right nil politi
cal wrongs. Our resources are almost,
unlimited, our recuperative powers
are unsurpassed. Tho world must
have our products. Conditions are
rapidly changing. Population is now
increasing faster than farm arrears,
and demand isiast over taking supply.
1 he future if bright for the level head
ed American farmer. He may not get
rich, but lie will be prosperous- lie can
have plenty of peace. The ambition
to bo rich has ruined thousands, and
the possessions of riches thousands
more. It is an unholy ambition, ami
its realization is too often accomplish
ed by the surrender of every element
of true happiness. He <on tent with n
competence, with plenty, with a vir
tuous life, a happy home, n loving
wife, children who will honor then
parents.—Marietta Journal.

“The free silver advocates claim,
that th* act c.f 1873 was aurreptitloio-lr
panted and rob tied the people of oi.c-hslf of
the money of fnnl payment; second: that
fur ft h reason there Im not sufficient no.iv
of (in a I payment, enl the appreciation of
gold ha* depreciated everything ire. Upon
these two propositions their entire argu
ments are based. **
The Secret or r ir.et these propositions by
claiming, first: that the * liege I contraction
of money * f fmnl pn.rimn! Ia i not taken
; lac* ; second: that the ; r.itoieed remedy
would in reality drive onc-MnJf the money
now in use out of circulnlfn and produce a
contraction ruinous in it* result*.
He e*id it was immaterial, far ns the
proposed 1 gislntion wne comeined, how tiie
act i t 1878 was passed.

INf REAMED VAl.t'K OF MOSEY,
The art < I 1873,be cDluied, did not remove
on*-half tt e money of final payment. In
1873 the in iy silver coin 1 " the I ; tiled States
con-iHted- f mi! sidinry silver amounting to
917.000.00© w hich wr.H not good for tiie

and the subelojary •11v* tto $76,772,0b©.
