Summers is our traveling agent, and is duly authorized to receive subscriptions to Tiie Herald and Ad vertiser, and give receipts for all dues collected on this account. Newnan Publishing Co. The President’s Message. President Cleveland’s message to Congress is a characteristic document. By this we mean that it is strong, can did, and comprehensive;—strong, in its reflection of the forceful acumen and courageous statesmanship that have so eminently distinguished the country’s chief executive since his accession to the Presidency; candid, in the unem barrassed frankness with which it points out the evils that barnacle our system of government, and the in genuousness with which it pleads for wholesome legislation on the various subjects indicated; comprehensive, in its admirable simplification of the ope rations of the various departments of government, and the intelligence with which it summarizes all matters of national concern with which the gener al government has to do—executive, de partmental, legislative and diplomatic. No question affecting the national wel fare is overlooked, all being discussed with a fullness and fairness that will re quire no explanatory aids to a thorough understanding of the various matters touched upon, and it will go upon re cord as one of the strongest and most statesmanlike documents that has ever emanated from a President of the Uni ted States. As might have been expect ed, there is no recession from the cour ageous position occupied by the Ad ministration on the tariff question. On the contrary,the President’s well-known views on the subject of tariff reform are more strongly emphasized than ever, and by giving it precedence over hll other subjects he has invested it with a dignity that is altogether peeping with its importance. ' The message is too lengthy for repro duction in its entirety, though we would be remiss in our duty as editor of a repre sentative Democratic journal if we fail ed to give prominence to that portion which refers to the tariff, and do so even at the risk of stinting our space in other departments. The extract is as follows:- We discover that fortunes realized by our manufacturers are no longer solely the work of sturdy industry and en lightened foresight, but that they result from the discriminating favor of the government, and are largely built upon undue exactions from the masses of our people. The gulf between employees and employed is constantly widening and classes are rapidly forming, one comprising the very rich and powerful, while in another are found the toiling poor. As we view the achievements of ag gregated capital, we discover the exist ence of trusts, combinations and mo nopolies, while the citizen is struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel. Corporations, which should be carefully restrained creatures of the law, and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the peo ple’s masters. Still congratulating our selves upon the wealth and prosperity of our country, and complacently con templating every incident of change inseparable from these conditions, it is our duty as patriotic citizens to inquire at the present stage of our progress how the bond of the government made with the people has been kept and perform ed. Instead of limiting the tribute drawn from our citizens to the necessi ties of its economical administration the government persists in exacting from the substance of the people mil lions which, unapplied and useless, lie dormant in its treasury. This flagrant injustice and this breach of faith and obligation adds to extortion the danger attending the diversion of the currehcy of the country from the legitimate channels of business. Under the same laws by which these results are produced, the government permits many millions more to be add ed to the cost of the living of our peo ple and to be taken by our consumers, which unreasonably swell the profits of a small but powerful minority The people must still be taxed for the support of the government under the operation of tariff laws. But to the extent that the mass of our citizens are inordinately burdened beyond any use ful public purpose, and for the benefit of a favored few, the government, un der pretext of an exercise of its taxing power, enters gratuitously into partner ship with these favorites to their ad vantage and to the injury of a vast ma jority of our people. This is not equal lt.y before the law. The existing situa tion is injurious to the health of our en tire body politic. It stifles in those for whose benefit it is permitted all patriot ic love of country, and substitutes in its place selfish greed and grasping av arice. Devotion to American citizen ship for its own sake and for what it should accomplish as a motive, to our Ration’s advancement and the happi ness of our people, is displaced by the assumption that the government, in stead of being the embodiment of equal ity, is but an instrumentality through which especial individual advan tages are to be gained. The arrogance of this assumption is unconcealed. It appears in the sordid disregard of but personal interests in the refusal to abate for the benefit of others one iota of s* lfish disadv oarage, and in combina tions to perpetuate such advantages through efforts to control legislation and improperly influence the suffrages of the people. The grievances of those not ;n bided within the circle of these beneficiaries, when fully realized, will surely arouse irritation and discontent. Our farmers, long suffering and patient, struggling in the race of life with the hardest and most unremitting toil, will not fail to liged to accept such prices for their pro ducts as are fixed in foreign markets where they compete with the farmers of the world, that their lands are de clining in value while their debts in crease, and that without compensating favor they are forced by the. act of the government to pay, for the benefit of others, such enhanced prices for the things they need that the scanty re turns of their labor fail to furnish their support or leave no margin for accumu lation. Our workingmen, enfranchised from all delusions and no longer frightened by the cry that their wages are endan gered by a just revision of our tariff laws, will reasonably demand through such revision steadier employment, cheaper means of living in their homes, freedom for themselves and their child ren from the doom of perpetual servi tude, and an open door to their advance ment beyond the limits of a laboring Others of our citizens whose comforts and expenditures are measured by moderated salaries and fixed incomes will insist upon the fairness and jus tice of cheapening the cost of necessa ries for themselves and their families. When to the selfishness of the benefici aries of unjust discrimination under our laws there shall be added the discon tent of those who suffer from such dis crimination, we will realize the fact that the beneficiary purposes of our government dependent upon the patri otism and contentment of our people are endangered. Communism is a hateful thing, and a menace to peace and organized govern ment. But this communism of combined wealth and capital, the outgrowth of overweening cupidity and selfishness which insidiously undermines the jus tice and integrity of free institutions, is not less dangerous than the commun ism of oppressed poverty and toil whjoh, exasperated by injustice and discon tent, attacks with wild disorder the cit adel of rule. He mocks the people who proposes that the government shall protect the rich, and that they in turn will care for the laboring poor. Any intermediary between the people and their govern ment, or the least delegation of the care and protection the government owes to the humblest citizen in the land, makes the boast of free institu tions a glittering delusion and the pre tended boon of American citizenship a shameless imposition. Ajust and sensible revision of our tariff laws should be made for the re lief of those of our countrymen who suffer under present conditions. Such a revision gliould receive the support of all who love that justice and equality due to American citizenship; of all who realize that in .this justice and equality pur government finds its strength and its power to protect that citizen and his property; of all who believe the con- 111 tented competence and comfort of the many accord better with the spirit of our institutions than colossal fortunes unfairly gathered in the hands of a few; of all who appreciate that a forbearance and fraternity among our people, which recognize the value of every American interest, are the surest guaranty of our national progress, and of all who desire to see the products of American skill and ingenuity in every market of the world, with a resulting restoration of American commerce. The necessity of the reduction of our revenue is so apparent as to be general ly conceded, but the means by which this end shall be accomplished, and the sum of direct benefit which shall result to our citizens, present a controversy of the utmost importance. There should be no scheme accepted as satisfactory .by which the burdens of the people are only apparently removed. Extravagant THE 10 Cent STORE. appropriations of public money, with 11 their demoralizing consequences, should not be tolerated, either as a means of relieving the treasury of its present surplus or as furnishing a pre text for resisting a proper reduction in tariff rates. Existing evils and injus tice should be honestly recognized, boldly met and effectually, remedied. There should be no cessation of the struggle until a plan is perfected, fair and conservative, toward existing industries, but which will reduce the cost to consumers of the nec essaries of life, while it provides for our manufacturers the advantage of freer raw materials and permits no in jury to the interests of American labor. The cause for which the battle is waged is comprised within lines clearly and distinctly defined. It should never be compromised, for it is the people’s cause. The recount in West Virginia shows that Anderson (Democrat) is elected to Congress from the Third district by a small but safe majority. The same re sult shows that Fleming, the Demo cratic candidate for Governor, is also elected. ~ The North Georgia M. E. Conference is in session at Milledgeville, Bishop Keener presiding. Congress convened last Monday. TRe Century Magazine for December. The Century for December, if not strictly speaking a Christmas number, is still a Christmasy number, opening as it does with a frontispiece picture, “The Coming of Winter,” by Mary Halleck Foote, and containing also a number of full-page engravings of sa cred pictures by the old and little known Italian master, Duccio, in the gallery of Italian masters, which is now oue of the most valuable features of the Century. In addition to this thereqs a western story in verse bv James Whit comb Eiley entitled “East Christmas Was a Year Ago,” and still further a Christmas editorial. But the two con tributions to this number having per haps the highest importance are the in stallment of the Life of Lincoln, enti tled “First Plans fpr Emancipation,” and the paper by Mr. Kennan, in which he graphically describes “Life on the Great Siberian Road.” In the Lincoln Life arc printed for the first time two letters by Lincoln, to the editor of the New York Times and to Senator Mc- D oil gall, in fayor of the “Plan of Grad- all \ mil Emancipation,with Compensation. ’ la this number is the first of the stories Irish-American life, by Mr. George 11.
