Did Speaker Carlisle find the free trade

when to leave his post of duty and when
to keep it.
The Virginia Legislature has passed
over the veto of the Governor a bill giving
the election of Commissioner of Agriculture
to the people. Georgia needs just such a
legislature.
Ax unpronounceable Russian paper has
Tho Tilden Brigade.
As a matter of public interest, the
Telegraph feels constrained this
morning to lay aside all feelings of
rivalry, and point with pride to the
Atlanta Const Union's grand coup d'etat
of Sunday in connection with the
alleged Tilden boom. Probably never
before in the history of Southern jour
nalism has such a triumph over time,
space, wind and water been achieved.
In one week, by means ot its exten
sive corps of correspondents, mounted
couriers and local reporters, the Con
stitution found out and interviewed
every Tilden man in Georgia, roughly
estimated at five hundred in number.
The stupendous character of this work
can be well understood when it is re
membered that there are about 175,-
000 voters in the State. The skill
with which the five hundred were
sought out and spotted in this vast ag
gregate of suffragists, challenges admi
ration from even the most captious.
But while there is cause for praise
in the successful execution of this mag
nificent enterprise, there is also
ground for complaint and regret. The
Telegraph tenders its most sacred
sympathies to its esteemed contempo
rary over the accidental discovery that
the greab Tilden organ of Georgia,
whose weekly edition alone “is read by
140,000 people,” has been able to affect
the views or coincide with the opinions
of only 500. It is a bitter realization
for the whole journalistic brotherhood,
who are accustomed to believe tliatsuh-
scriliers swallow' the gifted editor’s
views along with their coffee and hot

Fbeesom of comment on public meas
ures aim the records of public men is ab
solutely eisential to the safety ot the pub
lic institutions of a free country. The
tendency to deny this right is dangerous.
It would not be a bad idea for the Demo
cratic masses to take a hand in deciding
what men sball represent them in the Chi
cago convention. It ia time to retire to
the rear the cut and dried programmes.
Ir the New England States were atliicted
with the negro incubus as South Carolina
and some other Southern States are, the
country would hear nothing more from
that quarter about the peculiar rights and
peculiar wrongs of the block-skinned race.
SutAToa Hawley wants a reward of

mistakable,
No FAErr can afford to trifle with justice
by trying to cover up the short-comings of
any of Its olflcials. The Democrat who
would not expose wrong-doing in a Demo
cratic oflicial os readily as in a Republican
official may be a very fine partisan, but he
lacks a great deal of coming up to the
proper standard of citizenship.
Jolts SniXMAN declines to move for a
committee to investigate the probable
causca that led totbcaisoulnat'on of Gar
field. But, then, he probably couldn’t hope
to become the beneficiary of any excite
ment in that line; and so he will continue
to dig in the South for the wondrous grati
tude of the white-eyed patriots.
evil has been made apparent* It is too
late to express regrets. Yet while all
are sufferers, no right thinking journal
ist can refuse to shed a tear over the
misfortunes of an esteemed contempo
rary, who in the blind exercise of his
strength has pulled the pillars from
under the glorious temple of his pride,
and buried himself in the mins.
The Contlilulion, however, has yet an
opportunity to be great. 11 is evident that
the fewer friends one has, the closer
should he stick to them. Here are
five hundred people out of 175,000 who
have responded to the rash call of the
Tilden organ. What could be more
graceful than for the esteemed Atlanta
contemporary to arrange for these gen
tlemen an excursion to Macon during
he cavalry tournament? Compared
with the importance of the occasion,
the expense would be ridiculously
small. For our part, wc will do all in
our power to make the occasion a mem
orable one. The visitors shall be en
tertained and shown all over “the pret
tiest city on the continent,” and made
happy. We pledge our word as jour
nalists, and will give bond if necessary,
that the Tilden boom will not he hurt,
if we have to borrow a hot-house to
keep it in.
The arrangement will be mutually
advantageous, and we beg our contem
porary to scrionsly consider it. Its
five hundred constituents will be made
to enjoy themselves copiously, and
thousands of Georgians who did not
know there was such a thing as a Til
den boom, will have an opportunity to
crowd around and look a real one in
the teeth.
And not only will the five hundred
be complimented, but tiie Cotulilulion
will have the ineffable satisfaction of
knowing that, while tho faithful arc
frolicking, the remaining 1.10,500 who
read our esteemed contemporary’s
weekly edition will be laid up with an
attack of the “dry grins.”
For What Reason?
Referring to the call of the executive
committee to provide for a convention
to select delegates to the Chicago con
vention, the Albany -Yrtr» and Adter-
I iitr says:
The committee wttl determine the date of a
convention to .elect delexjdc. to the national
Democratic convention In Chicago. This
ought to meet in May. The convention
month, on sheriff’s sale daw at n time
when business generally calls farmers to
the county sites. If the convention is
held in May the«« farmers will be put
to the extra inconvenience of having
to attend a convention at a distance
from home.
Why should delegates be selected in
May to bo exposed to the importunities
of the agents and partisans of Presiden
tial aspirants from that time until July
8th, many weeks?
Why should Georgia ruslt into a con
vention before the situation lias become
clear and settled?
Some years back and the political
lead of Georgia was esteemed a wise
and sound indication. Iior Democrats
were patriotic, united and possessed
of strong common senso. Factions un
der the lead of selfish and unscrupu-
otts partisans have so distracted her
councils that site now stands in dire
need of patient examination ami delib
erate action.
It is by no means assured that the
Chicago convention will name a win
ning ticket. It is very certain that no
good can come of haste where a large
margin of delay has been expressly
allowed.
Some Thoughts cn Mr. Carlisle's History
of Free Trade.
The speech of Mr. Carlisle, at the
banquet of the New Y’ork Free Trade
Club, was a remarkable performance,
when judged by what he said as well as
what he failed to say.
His announcement that "the old fed
eration possessed no means to sustain
itself,” conflicts with the results
of the revolutionary war. If
the history of the country, heretofore
regarded as authentic, has truly re
corded the iactsin connection with that
war, its duration, the resources of Eng
land employed in its prosecution, and
the successful resistance made by tho
colonies, it is clear that the “federa
tion” sustained itself.
Whether or not the objects for which
our forefathers fought were accom
plished to their satisfaction, during the
period that intervened between the
close of tho war and the adop
tion of the Federal constitution,
is another question. Mr. Carlisle ap
preciates this fact. He said, speaking
of the men who framed the Federal
constitution: “Did not they say that
they believed that free trade, absolute
free trade, between the several States
was imperatively demanded by the in
terests oi tho people?” Who ever
questioned that they did? On the con
trary who docs not know that this idea
was a prominent one with the framers
of the constitution ?
But why did Mr. Carlisio stop here?
Why this half statement of one of the
main reasons that led to the formation
of the Federal Union? Its founders
believed in free trade, absolute freo
trade, between the States of the Union.
They also believed that power should
be lodged somewhere, and that this
power should be exercised, to secure to
American citizens the benefits ot this
trade. Mr. Carlialo omitted to
state this latter fact. The wis
dom of tho first proposition has
never been questioned in the
history of Die country, until the school
of politicians to which Mr. Carlisle be
longs came into prominence. While
the framers ot the constitution wanted
trade between tiie States freo aa air,
and as unobstructed as God’s sunlight;
while they proposed to protect this
trade to the people of these States as
against all foreign nations, Mr. Carlisio
as to have made such a partial state
ment of the case. He is open to the
charge of suppressing the truth
for a partiean pern-w. The
question of protection had much
to do with the formation of the
sentiment that found expression at last
in open revolt against the authority
of Great Britain. If, as Mr. Carlisle
says, the “federation was impotent”
when tiie constitution was formed,
it was because it could not, for the very
reasons lie assigns, secure free trade
between the States or protection to the
States from foreign competition for
this trade.
Something Better than Durango.
It may he remembered that Dr.
Bliss, who butchered Garfield, in
veigled tiie StateJ Department into im
porting for him a quantity of a South
American weed called durango. He,
in turn, duped many people into tho
belief that it would cure cancer, and
thereby added shekels to his slender
professional income tor a time. Smil
ing Schuyler Colfax famished a cer
tificate as to its efficiency, bat it proved
to bo as great a fraud and deception as
Schuyler himself.
Just now Washington society is
wrought up over a cancer cure by
Madamc de Struve, wife of tho Russian
minister. It appears that Mrs. Bing
ham, wife of one of the Congressmen
from Philadelphia, developed what
was pronounced acancer in the month.
Dr. Agnew and other distinguished
physicians were consulted, and an
operation was performed, but failed to
arrest the malady. Mrs. Bingham
was given over to die, and opiates
alone were used to alleviate the tor-
cotton Statement.
The Chronicle’t cotton article of
March 14 gives the following facts rel
ative to the movement of tiie crop for
the past week:
For the weekending March 14, the
total receipts have reached 48,876
bales, against 68,720 bales Inst week,
76,487 bales the previous week, and
65,014 bales three weekB since; making
the total receipts since September 1,
1883, 4,485,024 bales, against 5,137,-
721 bales for the same period of 1882-
83, showing a decrease since Septem
ber 1, 1883, of 651,797 hales.
Tiie total receipts at all the interior
towns for the past week have reached
whom they can hope to win. But he
docs not attempt to dodge and hide be
hind Mr. Tilden. He appreciates the
fact that there is no hope in that quar
ter. He ia willing to surrender his
side arms and his baggage, but begs to
retain his honor. These terms are ac
cepted, and upon giving his parole, the
proper officer will be instructed not to
interfere with the pocket pistol in Mr.
Watterson's haversack.

Ue Struve, who had made a study of
medccine, took charge of the case. She
is a homeopathist, and she uses chiefly
tho medicine of the great Dr. Mattel,
of Bologna, Italy. Dr. Mattel has been
especially successful in the treatment
of cancers, and Mme. de Struve keeps
with’her always a full case of his pre
parations.
The case is tlms reported -. “With

proved so wonderfully as to bewilder
those who expected to hear of her
death at any time. The opium is whol

the cancer is diminishing in size, and

says that site can not tell whether Mrs.

is not cancer. The discontinuance of

gave her system opportunity to rally.

A great many people jump to most il
logical conclusions. The fact that more
cotton is produced in the South now than
before the war ia adduced to prove that
thc negroes have not retrograded u labor
ere. The improved methods and the in
creased ares given to cotton and the extra
attention given that crop—all count for
naught. The fact ia.it ia an extremely

The Chicago convention will not lie
held until thc 8th day of July. We
have tiie best of reasons to know that
a much later date was desired by many,
and if tiie matter had been freely dis
cussed beforehand a later date would
have been selected. California, Ar
kansas and Illinois have followed the
line marked out, and will hold
conventions to select delegates
to Chicago in the latter part of June.
In 1872 delegates were selected from
Georgia to tiie Baltimore convention
only a short time before the conven
tion met. So in 1876, likewise in 1880.
We are seeking information, and as the
.Vein and Adeertieer has first spoken,
we apply to it for the resons in behalf
of a convention at ao early a date aa
May.
The Democratic party, notwithstand

“babble*,” ia confused and embar

in Congrcgi, the frail tenure of Mr.

geta, seem to tu to demand delibcra-

Free trade between the States was a

anil internal taxation levied upon
the products of our own people is thc
doctrine of thc Carlisle school of states
men. Mr. Carlisle’s failure to state tiie
case fully was a confession upon his
part that, judged by all thc traditions
of the people from thc days of Jeffer
son, Madison and Monroe down to the
present, the doctrine was pernicious.
He feared tho result "of an open con
fession of this modern political heresy.

L,- the framers of tiie constitution, wc
beg to call attention to an authority
which lie will not question, as to
their position in reference to foreign
trade.
Mr. Webster, in a speech de-
delivered at Albany, New York,
1842, said that when tiie
Federal constitution was submitted to
the people of the States for ratification,
the discussions that followed proved
conclusively that it would have failed
of adoption, bat for the fact that it was
generally conceded that the govern
ment under it, if formed, would have
the power, the promised exercise of
which was implied, to foster and pro
tect its capital and labor,by levying ad
equate duties, for this purpose, upon
all foreign products imported into tiie
the country.
Aa an evidence that this was true,
Mr. Madiaon, who woa a member of the
first House ot Representative*, before
the first Congress had been
in session forty-eight hoars, offered a
preamble and resolutions setting forth
this authority of tiie constitution, and
foe that has baffied and defied it.
The State Fair.
We print elsewhere an interesting
communication from the president of
the State Agricultural Society, in which
an earnest appeal is made to thc peo
ple of Georgia for active effort and co
operation in behalf of the State fair
which the society proposes to hold in
Macon next October.
Wc cannot see why tiie fair should
not he eminently stu-cessfui, ns weii as
an occasion of general enjoyment for
the |icoplo who attend it, and of profit
to merchants, dealers, hotels nnd
boarding houses, and others. No 1 (ot
ter place titan Macon can be found in
the Slate, or in thc South, for thc fuir.
Located in the centre ot tiie finest agri
cultural section of the State, with more
miles of railways converging here titan
in any city in Georgia, witli ample ac
commodations for guests, and witli
more and better light and water than arc
possessed elsewhere, and with twenty-
fire thousand courteous am! hospitable
people to greet and entertain visitors,
there need be no doubt that thc fair
will prove to be a gratifying success.
But whilst success is within easy
reach, it will not come of itself. The
necessary effort most be mode by the
societv and its friends throughout tiie
State, and by the people of Macon.
Planters and farmers, orchardiats and
gardeners, merchants and manufactur
ers, miners and machinists, the friends
ot fine cattle, hones, hogs and poultry,
and withal our nimblefingered mothers
and maidens, must unite together, and
by their joint efforts and counsels
crown the enterprise with triumph.
A successful fair would be of great
benefit to the Agricultural Society
itself. It would infnsc a more hopeful
spirit into farmers and planters, and
would recall public attention to Macon
to a degree that would be alike advan
tageous and agreeable. Indeed \he
(air will be a benefit and a pleasure to
all concerned.
