This is startling, j I Augusta Gazette. 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.

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*.

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?

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 tion. The Ordinary thereupon called an election for July 9, 1887. The cam paign was a short but very r spirited on<. From the first, the Prohibitionists seemed confident of victory.
