“The Democratic members of the
I louse whose views upon the Tariff
I till have been ascertained, are, as a
rule, much pleased with it. Some who
were opposed to touching the tariff
two years ago now favor the new hill.
Bliss and Stahlnecker, of New York,
Outhwaite, of Ohio, and some of the
Louisiana ‘sugar men’ expressed them
selves, it is said, as disinclined to follow
the Republicans in resistance to the
measure, now proposed. The Demo
crats who seem disposed to oppose it
are the ‘wool men’ of Ohio and Califor
nia, and the ‘iron men’ of Pennsylva
nia. Mr. Randall is reticent, but has
unbosomed himself so far, it is report
ed, as to describe the bill as a joke and
as a compromise all on one side. His
obligations to the Republican party of
Pennsylvania for bis seat are, however,
of unyeielding character, and his oppo
sition lias been expected all along by
those who took the trouble to consider
bis position. He, will, as usual, lead a
contingent of so-called Democrats over
to the Republican side when the time
comes to vote, but the indications are
that his forces will not amount to
much. The defection will be to some
extent repaired by recruits from the
Republicans. The Minnesota Republi
cans are sturdy supporters of the bill,
and members from other parts of the-
Northwest may be expected to-#lisown
the suicidal policy of stupidly opposing
all reduction of taxes. This is the policy
t he Republican party is allowing itself
to be committed to, to sustain the exist-
ingonerous taxes and spend in pensions
the surplus revenue they produce. •It
lacks, evidently, an intelligent sense ol
the present needs and convictions of
tlie people, and the Democrats, from
the point of view of practical politi
cians,could have in the coining campaign
no better card than to ridicule the folly
of a party bent on making times hard
by keeping taxes high. When the new
tariff hill is presented in the House
and the more sensible Republicans con
sider the probability of its defeat, it is
not unlikely, therefore, that a break
will occur in t heir ranks, with the result
of giving the bill a fair majority.”

COTTON SEED MEAE!
We offer for sale Cotton Seed Meal, or would exchange for
Seed where parties desire to do so. At present prices of Meal
and Seed, thirty bushels of the latter would pay for sufficient
Meal to manufacture one ton of Guano—requiring, in addi
tion, the proper proportions of the cheaper ingredients—Acid
Phosphate and Kainit.
We give below reports as to results obtained from Meal,
properly composted.
Hon. J. T. Henderson, in his report of the Soil-Test of Fer
tilizers, conducted under the direction of the State Chemist at
Athens, Ga., says the object of the experiment was—
“To test the result of fertilizing with a cheap composted fertilizer compared
with equal quantities of high-priced commercial fertilizers. A compost was
made of the following substances in the relative proportion named, viz:
Acid Phosphate 1250 lbs.
Cotton Seed Meal 500 lbs.
Kainit 250 lbs.
“This was applied on one portion of the plat >tde by side with three standard
fertilizers, A, B, and C, each at the rate of BOO lbs. per acre. The plat contained
four sections, whose area was each one-half acre.
RESULTS IN SEED COTTON:
Compost, 899* lb. per acre.

“The mixture described above produces'bet ter results than the average of the
three fertilizers used in competition with it. -Vs it costs about half as much as
tnese it is much more profitable,”
Special prices made to clubs, and full directions given for
mixing the compost.
McBRIDE & CO., Newnan, Ga.
We would caution our customers against mixing and selling this compost,
unless the State inspection fee of 59 cents per ton is paid. There is no law,
however, to prevent a farmer from manufacturing fertilizers for use on his own
land.
