The tax on the bagging and ties for
one bale of cotton is more than the in
tire pro no. to. share of a Georgia or South
(’arolina farmer in the internal revenue
taxes for a whole year! And yet Joe
Grown, Gus Bacon and the Atlanta
( institution want the farmers to believe
1 hat the internal revenue taxes are ruin
ing them !
Augusta Gazette.
Do the people of Georgia desire tobe {
taxed on their food, clothing and farm- .
ing implements, to raise a yearly fund
of $.80,000,000 to pay pensions to Federal
soldiers, rather than to have that 1
amount raised from an excise tax on
whisky? If so, let them favor the abo
lition of the internal revenue system,
and tliey will have their wish.
Augusta Chronicle.
Senator Brown no doubt thinks more
highly of the moonshiners than lie does
of the other people of Georgia, hut it
is nonsense for him to pretend to oppose
t he internal revenue tax on whisky in
the moonshine interest. \V hat liereal-
ly wants is to have the tariff taxes re
tained on iron and coal. IF 01 ?' 4
moonshine in that. “Joey B. is devil

Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
When Mr. Brown undertook to take
rare of his private coal and iron inter
ests in the United States Senate, a few
davs ago, he did so at the expense of
his constituents. Every dollar that he
was trying to get for himself would
have cost the people one hundred. It
is a pity to have a representative whose
interests conflict with those of the peo
ple. It. would be better for us to put
the State road question m his hands tor
settlement, even if he robbed the peo
ple of the road, than to place the tariff
question in his hands, and let him rob
them every year of more property than
tlie value of the State road*.

opinion that if the tariff were removed

the last year or two there lias bee ni a
boom in the iron business in the South,
not because of the protective tariff., but
in suite of it. Iron can be produced
mucK cheaper at the South than at the
North, and if it were not for the -
nipnao cost of iron nianufactuiui-

Southerners are an agriculturali peo
ple, aretillers of the soil, ami would
loyouslv welcome prosperity, but the
protection organs lail to show thuc
farmers how and at what point the pay,
to them, from protection conies in
()ne of the reasons why they au not
prosperous is that they are buKlenei
with a high protective tariff. M hat
benefit is a protective tariff to them.
Their great crop is cotton, and Hie tar
iff doesn’t add anything to the price
which they receive for it. The pi u e is
fixed in Liverpool, and is regulated by
1 he demand. If t he tariff in ei e me 1 eas
ed or reduced the price of cotton would
not be affected. But a protective tariff
does affect farmers, and that, too, iciy
injuriously. It compels them to pay a
very high price for cotton ties, trace
chains, plows, harrows, hoes, cotton gin
machinery, harness, shoes, blankets
in fact for about everything they buy.
Will tlie protectionists tell the farmer
who cultivates cotton, or, 111 tact any
other crop, how a protective tariff ben
efits him?

ties of the State. Already the licenses
of three saloons have expired, and to
day' there are less than a dozen saloons
in Home. Three years ago the local op
tion agitation was commenced in this
county, and in February, 1885, the anti-
Prohildtionists carried the county' by
several hundred majority. Various
causes led to this result, and it was felt,
at the time, that the verdict was not
final. So, last summer, just after the
Sam Jones meetings had closed, the
temperance people went to work in
earnest, and obtained hundreds of
signatures to petitions asking the Ordi
nary to order another local option elec

an election for July 9, 1887. The cam
