It U tunnv to sec what faces some of the Northern Republican papers are making over the dawning suspicion that Grant is willing to play the “dark horse," or dark donkey, for that matter, for another term f<>r himself and "the boys," in the White House. Tn* latest from Mr. Tilden is embodied in this dispatch from Albany, N. Y„ un der date of the 23d instant: "A party of leading Democrats and friends of Tilden who left Qreystone to-day, say that nndcr n, circumstances will ho be a candidate for the Presidency, and nndcr no clrcum stances will he accept if nominated. They regard this, his last refusal, as final, and say that the field is now left, so far as Democratic candidates from this State are concerned, to Flower and Cleveland. 1 Paor. Wiggins claims that the rccen- storms and ths earthquake in England are a fair fulfillment of his March predictions, The Professor believes the forces which caused the diaatrona storm last month will again unite Saturday svening next, and earthquakes probably occur Friday and Monday, while there is a serious probabil ity that Uie eorthquaks In England will re turn with increased violence aboutthe 20th of May. O'Donovan Rossa per contra swears that the disturbance In Faigland credited to an earthquake was but the ex plosion of one of his buried dynamite car tridges. Nothtog short of a commission ran decide between the claims of these cranks. TIIE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, MAY 2,1884 7 Third Term Talk. Tlio first suggestion to the effect that Grant was the dark horse in keep for l 'hicago, .was denounced by the Repub lican press as “a vain, wicked and idle device of the enemy.” It was laughed at and sneered at, but haa at lost de manded respectful and serious copaid- <■ ration. It is recognized fully now, and the thnnder against a third tenn is invoked to destroy the chances of the "old man” and the "old guard” with the 300 brass medals. The Philadelphia Prttt gives promi nent position to this protest from the Rochester, N. Y. Chronicle. .' It seem, to be dawning upon the mind, of many careful observer* that a movement haa really begun for the nomination of General Grant at Chicago. It will nottuceced, but It should be understood.

It It further said that the Grand Army Posts are to be used to promote the programme. It might succeed w ere not the people irrevocably ho.rile to the third tana. There haa not, probably, been a time In twenty years wben the ex President was more respected or more popular than he I, to-day, but this docs not mean that* the t.drd term has more support than It had In VoO. Indeed, it has far less, as Its supporters will find If they try to press the third term to an editorial column to properly treat such questions. All the infor mation needed by persons in terested in the subject and the only information worth acting upon, can be had from people engaged in the silk business. The free circular of the Women’s Silk Culture Association, of Philadelphia, and the Complete Guide to Silk Culture (25cents), published by the New York Silk Exchange, 27 Bond street, will supply all information de sired. ^ As we have before stated there exists no good reason why our Southern ladies who have more leisure than income should not by means of this industry devote a portion of the former to in- reasing the latter. Steadily the business has been growing in the Unit ed States for years, until now its per manent establishment is assured. Sev eral States have associations to aid women and children in their efforts to engage in the industry, notably South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Califor nia, Alabama and Louisiana. There is practically no limit to the demand for raw silk. The United States alone buys $30,000,000 worth in foreign mar kets, while yearly $400,000,000 is sold throughout the world. The silk culture of the United States at present in the hands oi twelve associations, numerous stock companies, a colony of Italians in Tex as, a German colony in North Carolina, settlement of Norwegians in Georgia, and several colonies of Menonites in Kansas. A ready market for every thing produced—silk, eggs and cocoons —is found in Philadelphia and New York. While it is true that tho culture of silk will furnish our ladies and many children with an easy and re munerative employment for a short time each year, it must not be supposed that the methods are al together simple and rules unimportant- The business calls for intelligence and care for the fifty days of the season. And not only these, but unlimited pa tience. Tito remuneration, considering the short time required each year, is fair. The cocoons, as likely to be pro duced in Georgia, will bring about $1 per pound and tlio eggs $2.50 per ounce, so that any woman combining in her labor the necessary elements of intelli gence and patience and having at hand the necessary worm food, can clear from $200 *to $400 from one ounce of eggs. The equipments are inexpensive and can readily bo con structed by any man who ha» a fancy for tools. When tho industry has so developed as to justify the establish ment of filatures for reeling tlio silk the profits will be very much larger. The TsLEGBArn, however, agrees with the gentleman whose views It recently expressed; tho best plan at present for Southerners who desire to engnge in tho business, is to raise only the pierced cocoons and eggs for the market while educating themselves. In the mean time the planted trees will be growing. When the conditions are favorable for a higher grade of productions those who have followed this rule will find themselves equipped for securing the larger profits. to week. If they were driven to the wall in a discussion, they sought to ex tricate themselves by crying “Bour bon.” If they weredetectcd in a piece of particularly dirty work, they resort ed to the strategy of the flying thief, and cried all the louder against dip "Bourbons.” But we shall hear no more of this parrot cry from Mahonc and fipeer, and their allies, the “commercial Democrats.” The battle has been whipped in Virginia as it has been whipped in Georgia. Ttio “commer cial" wing cf the party has managed, by the aid of the Republican and ne gro vote, to keep their iicads above water, but this they will find it impracticable to do hereafter, even with tlie lavish use of “checks" and money. In a square, open trial of strength, the clean Democrats would be found to out number the unclean by two to one. No one knows this better than the leaders of the latter faction. The strength displayed by Mr. Bacon in his contest last year, without patron age and with the use of only legitimate means and methods, was a revclationjto them. The party is stronger to-day than it was then, and there is no office within the gift of the people which it might not bear off, if it chose to make the effort. Henceforth “bourbon” will be classed among the obsolete words in Georgia. Agricultural Prospect*. The weather conld not have been more unfavorable for fanners, truck growers and gardeners, than it has been during the past two months. The storms and beating rains, followed by high winds, have done great damog., and to these must be added the low temperature which lias prevailed for many weeks throughout the State. These causes have conspired to retard all agricultural and horticultural work, and to seriously interfere with the planting of crops of every kind. This loss of time, though unfortunate lias not been so serious as tlio injury done to lands by the frequent and unprecedented freshets.

The public mind has long since been settled as to the certain ignominious close of his career. sions need be indulged no longer. Tho general coiimuut of tlio bar is that he is an admirable judge, quick in his perceptions, ready in his application of the law, upright, able and impartial. It is not known whether there will be any opposition to the re-election of Judge Blandford. It is hoped there will not be. He has not been on the beneli a yoar yet, but his short torm of service lias sufficed to show that he possesses tho qualifications of a safe and conscientious judicial officer, But the people of Georgia are inter ested in the administration of justice young crops and the fertilizers put un- and law by the Federal courts. r of Seventh Congressional District. We had,supposed that there would no Democratic opposition to the nomination and rc-clectien of 51 r. foments to Congress from the seventh district. A rumor reaches us, however, ^jiitt the present incumbent will have t.-. ,!o battle, if he would retain his seat. Our information is that Hon. L. N •tfawimell is An aspirant for Congrc ai-.uel honors, and that he will contest tlie nomination with Mr. Clements. It will be remembered that Mr. Trammell secured the nomination ,-::ee before, and that he entered ac tively upon the canvass, but retired from the race soon thereafter. 51 r. Dabney was nominated as his sue- reasor, but was beaten by Dr. Felton. The letter of Dr. Felton, announcing i.is purpose not to become a candidate ti n year, has simplified the political :; nation in the seventh district. Had d- - ided to renew the contest, it is iv.t probable that 5Ir. Clements would have had any opposition to hia nomina tion. Southern Bourbons, The resolutions adopted by the Re- adjuster convention in Virginia on Wednesday are significant and impor tant. They were reported by General Malione himself, and adopted with great unanimity and enthusiasm Tho first resolution declares “that from and after this day our party shall be know-nos tho Republican party Virginia.” 'hie sixth declaration is a long ar raignment nml denunciation of Bonr- bonism for its hostility to the most sacred rights and dearest interests of tho people.” Such is tlie language of the dispatch. That Gen. 5hthonc and his followers should have finally landed in the Re publican party, is what all flsoughttul persons have foreseen and predicted. Rapid as his movement lias been, he was preceded by 5Ir. Emory Speer of Georgis, who some time since gave in his adhesion to the Republican organi zation. It was the custom of the Virginia apostate to denounce the white men of his State, who opposed his political methods and aspirations, as “Demo cratic Bourbons,” and even now, as he takes formal leave of the party he betrayed, he letsfly a Parthian arrow feathered wfth the same insult ing device. The true men of that grand old State can well afford to despise the renegade, and to laugh at his epithets, just as the honest people of Georgia have regarded, and still regard 5fr. Speer and his abuse. But the speakers and newspaper or gans of the “commercial Democracy” in Georgia were also wont to fling this hateful epithet in the. faces of the clean-banded Democracy who opposed their methods and arraigned their wrong-doing. This journal came in for its foil share of such impotent abuse. Even such a man as the senirr Senator from Geor gia who, whatever may be thought of his ways, is known to be shrewd and able, descended to this kind of tactics. Nothing better could be expected of Colquitt and the “commercial" organs, big and Uttle, that yelped the Mine strain from day to day and from week A Misdirected Charity, On this memorable day, devoted to the memories of the dead heroes of a great war, it may not be an inappropri ate occasion to refer to the movement recently inaugurated in behalf of the survivors of that struggle. The women of Richtnond, Virginia, (and the women of the South have never forgotten, their dead or living kin,) sometime since proposed to give fair, the proceeds of wiiich were to be devoted to tlie establishment of a homo for poor and disabled Confeder ate soldiers. Sundry Southern men have appro priated the suggestion, and propose to enlarge tlio plan by appealing to the people of the North for aid. It may be said to the credit ol our Northern brethren, particularly those who par ticipated in tlie war, that the appeal has reached eager ears, generous hearts and lavish hands. Al ready contributions arc flowing in, and to-day in the city of New York, the metropolis of the nation and tlie most cosmopolitan city on the continent, the dramatic profession will do its part by a grand performance. The response has been so quick, the sympathy so universal, that it is now proposed to raise $1,000,000 and to erect two homes in place of one. To those whose pity is stirred by tlie appeal from tender women in behalf of bravo and suffering men, any criticism upon the proposed plan must at first seem harsh. Wo arc fully aware of this fact, and would gladly avoidatask that does not carry with it that pleas ure, which is said always to accompany the discharge of a duty. The inspiration of this charity is no ble, but there Is reason to apprehend that this, like other great public char ities, is likely to bo misdirected; that zeal in behalf of a delayed and neg lected duty is likely to overlook tlio cold business calculations, absolutely necessary to make it a success. The Soldiers’ Home at Washington City, after which all others are mod eled, was founded by Gen .’Scott, from the money taken from the government of 5fexlco. It is suj?portcd by a fund raised from tho pay of soldiers while in active service, twelve, cents per month being deducted from each pay roll. Like the Hotel ties Invalid#* in Paris, and tlie Soldiers Hospital at Woolwich England, it is placed under tlie super vision of the government, the war de partment taking immediate control Here soldiers are allowed to come and find food, clothing and sleeping room when disabled from farther service. The men who go there are generally without families, money or relatives for comparatively few men enlist in the. ranks of tlie regular army, who have not from bad fortune or evil habits lost their hold upon society. But even in this retreat, watched over by tlie government, they are not all happy or contented. Many scandals have originated here, and hut a year since a Congressional committee unearthed the fact that officers were living upon the funds provided for tlie soldiers, and that the flowers and deli cacies from the garden of tlie estali- lishment went to load the tables and grace tlie houses of government offi cials in Washington. Anil yet this house is the model in this country. Nearly twenty years have elapsed since tlie last Confederate soldier turned his bronzed face towards his homo and began Ids weary tramp, with little baggage beyond a broken heart, to tlie loved ones and familiar scenes. Death has mode sad havoc with the old and disabled of this last roster of tlie war, The younger ones have been swallowed up in tlie various departments of active life, many are prosperous and many still making a brave struggle for the necessaries and comforts of life. They are scattered over the continent. Would they consent to lie gathered to gether under a single roof 7 Coming years will rapidly reduce the roster already referred to, and the Confederate soldier will have no place save in the hearts of his people and the pages of history. What, then, shall become of the costly home erected by the offer ings of s brave and generous people? These considerations should be weighed before any derided direction is given to the moneys now being gath ered. It is not within our province to der them for their support have been swept away, leaving the planter no choice but to begin work anew, or to abandon nil hope of a crop. In many counties, and especially in North Georgia, nearly all the bridges and water mills have been carried away, and with them all fencing within the high water mark. Even lands sown to small grain and tho grasses have been greatly injured. ' Notwithstanding these drawbacks, the work of planting cotton and corn lias been accomplished in tho south- on, and Boutnwesteru counties, and is under full headway in the section north of 5tacon. Many ^planters lack the means to purchase another supply of commercial fertilizers, and their own necessities and the demand of tho oil mills have left them but little if any cotton seed for replanting or ma nuring. And this justifies the expression of a doubt whether the establishment of oil mills will in the end prove beneficial to planters. The best use that can prob ably be made of cotton seed is to com post and put them in tbo ground. The sale of them to the oil mills would be well enough, it the planters would carry tho meal back home with them, and feed it to their stock or use it as a fertilizer; but this they are not likely to do, particularly if they happen to need a little money. 5Iany—perhaps a majority of them—will he tempted to sell the meal and buy later on commer cial manures at credit prices. l’asturage is still poor, and gardens arc very backward, but the prospect for an abundant yield of fruit is be lieved to be excellent. A late spring is generally followed by a bountiful fruit crop. Wo have no opinions to express as to tlie guilt or innocence of Conley and Nall, further than that Conley is known to be a very hard man,and Nall a weak one. But a grand jury, upon proof furnished by government officers, has charged them witli a heinous offense. If they are guilty they should be promptly tried, convicted and punish ed. If they are innocent, it should be promptly established. It is a mockery of law and justice that by a process of huggermuggery they should be permitted to settle their financial differences, while hundreds of poor and ignorant moonshiners are hunted down, imprisoned and robbed by spies and detectives, under the forms of law. 5tr. Springer’s committeb is still in session, and it is submitted to the dele gation from Georgia that this matter is ripe for vigorous probing. FROM ATLANTA. The Otlrtin Cotton Fuctcr»-The Buno and Machlnory—OtherJEnterprise*" 1 * Crlffln Politics—Concrnl notes. The Situation In Ceora'n. There is but little change to note in the political situation in Georgia. In the seventh Congressional district Dr. Felton has made formal announce ment of the fact that he is not A candi date for his old seat in the House of Representatives. This, it is conjec tured, will lie a great relief to a number of aspirants in the famous seventh, who are willing to contest the Demo cratic nomination with Mr. Clcmonts, the present Incumbent, but yet are not anxious to measure strength with tho doughty Doctor before the people. Now that tlie latter is out oi the way, it 1b not improbable that Mr. Cloments will soon find it necessary to imitate 5Ir. Nicltolls, and return to Georgia to at tend to some "Important private busi ness.” The contests in the seventh district have been the most spirited and inter esting within our tuter history. For six years, Dr. Felton, while adher ing to tho principles of tlio national Democracy, dolled Us local organi zation and methods, and held Ids own with masterful ability against all comers, though reinforced by the ablest and most eloquent men In the party. His friends at home havo been hoping to induce him to stand for the Legislature, but thus far their efforts have proved unavailing. There is somewhat of a lull in the fifth district. Captain Jackson is still prosecuting his canvass vigorously, in the absence of 5!r. Hammond, and this fact, like a two-edged sword is cutting both ways. It is reported that very lively times may be expected os soon os Mr. Hammond can quit his post of duty nt Washington. He and his friends will then, we are told, enter at once upon an active and determined canvass, and will “carry the war into Africa,” possibly overhaul some records and make things lively generally Tlie con test, we trust, will be conducted decor ously and in good temper. Buccess on any other terms would be neither cred itable nor desirable. There will lie three candidates for the nomination, according to report, in the first district—Mr. Meidrim of Savannah, Judge Mention of Bruns wick, and Mr. Nicbolls, the sitting member, of Blacksbear. We are not advised as to tbeir relative strength before the people. It Jadge Mention is a candidate or intends to be, he would only be doing his duty to forth with resign his seat on the bench. A presiding judge has no business run ning for a political office. Ths Now York Herald, Since the latter days of the Hancock campaign, has been rated as one of the leading Republican organs of the coun try. Under the elder Bennett, it was content to bo considered ns a barome ter of public opinion. The younger Bennett seems determined to make it a powerful aud active factor in politics. In its evening tender, the Telegram, it has raised the names of Arthur and Lincoln, for President and Vice Presi dent, and will support these gentlemen for the nomination. In event of their failure, it will support tlie nominees of the Chicago convention, and Upon any platform that may be promul gated. The Herald has a perfect right to take whatever course may seem best to it, and to advocate the selection of candidates that, in its judgment, are best calculated to win. But it will be remcmbored.thatit was the aciivo supporter of the Carlisle combination in its free trade crusade. It has counselled and supported this gentleman and his followers in all of tho unwise and foolish talk and action that has divided the Democratic party, It has counselled and maintained them in an effort to force upon the Democratic party free trado candidates and a free trade platform. Having in volved them In difficulties that seem to secure Democratic defeat and humilia tion, It now proposes to leave them and to support a party whose platform and candidates wjll both be, pronounced in favor of the doctrine of protection. - Whatever the Herald may lack in ability, it more titan makes up in the subtlety of its political tactics, and the Republican party way well rejoice that it liecomcs at last an active leader, rather than a well-disposed ally. As To a Soldiers' Home. A recent report to Congress upon tho soldiers’ home says the homo is adm- mirably managed and conducted, but “notwithstanding that tho old soldiers of the army are aware of tho comforts furnished to tho inmates of tlio home, they have n great aversion, and it wight bo called a dread, of tlie home. The great dislike to it by those broken down with age and honorable service, who are eligiblo and have a right to on ter it, Is tho known lack here of all oc cupation or recreation.” The report states that the majority of old soldiers do not like reading, and are too old to acquire the habit, and knowing they will have literally nothing to do but sit round and smoke, they dread tlie place. 5Iany, too, object to sundering domes tic ties, in order to enter the home. Our people will do well to think of this before it is concluded to build a home for Confederate soldiore. It is now proposed to take the Soldiers Home near Washington for the Agri cultural Department, and to put the old and disabled veterans away in some place far removed from beer saloons and the temptations of a large city with an idle anil vicious population. Memorial Dar. Nineteen years havo passed since tho Southern armies laid down their weapons, and its worn and weary veterans began their long marclt home ward. Over the hills, through the valleys, across tlie plains they csine, some dropping by tlie way after having braved thb horrors of a four years war, never more to look upon homo faces; some to stagger grief stricken about the ruins of their old homes; some to stand over the graves in the neglect ed burying grounds and feel al! hard ships, trials, sorrows fade out in tlie presence of their sad memorials; some to lie down at the end of the long jour ney and tlie’longer absence, and pass over the river with the new found joy smiling upon their lips. Ragged, worn, bare-headed, bare-footed, their path way through ruin, with tlie past black behind them and tho future blacker before, came tho broken armies, the saddest panorama of tho nineteenth century. There is a sweep of utter desolation in the picture seen nowhere else in the history of a great people. Even tlie Tartar tribe, after its long flight across Asia, found a safe haven in the Celes tial Kingdom. Tlie Jews in tlie deHert were tenderly cared for and brought into the land flowing’with milk and honey. The armies of the world, fsr hundreds of years, have generally dis persed after defeat and retired to unde vastated homes. But not 60 with the armies of tho Confederacy. When to their old haunts of peace, the surviving soldiers were joined, it was a union of physical rain and the jetsam of a per ished prosperity. Practically they stood empty handed and unclothed in the presence of Nature. But not des pairing. Yesterday throughout tho hills and valleys where tho feet of tho wear)' host had pressed, flowers were gathered and laid upon the wanderers' graves. A simple memorial it was to tho spirit whichmade possible tho Confederate soldier. Nineteen times has the season rolled in upon us, but tlie flowers ore sweeter and skies brighter upon each return. The rem nant of the great armies, the tattered veterans empty handed, homeless, whom nothing but fate could check, has wrung success at last from fate and brought the South, crowned with pros perity, smiling abreast tho age. The scientists tell us that the impal pable dust of a distant volcano floating evenly balanced in tho upper air, tem pers the fierce white rays of tho even ing sun and crowns our western slojies with unapproachable glories. . So, through tho vanished moments, tlie impalpable dust of the ages that floats in eternity, as History lilts her lamp, does tho light Strike and fall In silent splendor, not alone upon the hillside grave, but on' the wan faces which looked out from beneath the old gray caps over the South's desolation, and then turned bravely to the future. IsriciAL cor.nrai-uxueucx.1 Atlanta. April 21.—Your correspondent made a run down to Griffin to-day and [ell into tho hands pf a number of citizens who besides treating him with the well-known hospitality oi the town, showed him the various industries, old and new, which ar so creditable to t| 1B city, and are bound tl mak u,. 1 in the future prosperous anS wealthy. Since the visit oi M.Quad ota. Free Prett, and his graphic letter Griffin, there is oi coiirse little* lefttSu said, and I shr.il not, therefore atb>m«? anything at length. ' attcm P‘ Tills morning. In company with W j Kincaid and Hon. 8. Grantland, presidm! and treasurer of the Griffin cotton factor, and Col. Glessner, of the Newt, I rode on! now factory, which nearly completed. The factory handsome building, snnnouutsd by a tall tower, on the track’of theCenbst railroad within the city limits, and on tS front of the prettiest eight-acre lot in Snald ing county. The building proper is feet long and 52 wide, ana is a most solid and substantial structure. The machinery is now being put in place, and the plaoe « already taking on the air of a cotton far tory. The factory will have 4,180 spindle, with 128 looms, which it is expected will i* Iv - largely increased at an early day The building is constructed witli all the modern improvements, including steam heatinx apparatus, automatic sprinklers oil every floor, perfectly fire proof, and will be light ed with the improved electric 1 ght. The company will erect on tlie grounds a num her of tenement houses for its employes Tlie water used in tho factory will be forced from Wright’s pond, about 200 yards off into a tank in the tower, of a capacity oi 12,000 gallons. The plant when completed and in operation will cost $125,000. Tlie people of Griffin are enthusiastic about (heir factory,and there isnodouotas o its success. To W. J. Kincaid, the president of tlie company, is largely due tlie credit of this enterprise, and I under stand he is moving, with several other K rominent citizens of Griffin, to establish i that city other manufacturing enter itises. Among these is a bagging factory nvoiving an investment of $50,000, whica a already assured, and a knitting mills, an iron foundry, etc. A The movement toward the establishment ot these manufacturing industries speaks well for Griffin, and it an example worthy of imitation by other cities ot Georgia. There is unemployed capital to-day in Griffin, and in other towns, to successfully inaugurate all such enterprises, and there Is no doubt, with good management, they could be made to pay handsomely on the investment. NO POLITICS. After getting through with tlie cottcn i factory I^made* a tour” along Hill street . .... - . .

Nobody - seemed in a mood to talk politics although • " gj there was no dearth of candidates. course Spalding will send a Stewprt dele gation to tlie Congressional convention, although there is not much talk of his can- iliilacy. The prospect is the county will have a lively season In the election for the Legislature. The present outlook Is that the whisky question will be an issue, al- i hough there is an effort being made to keep that out of politics. The TzLEoaAFH has a host of friends in Griffin and daring mg abort vMt the paper received many compliments. I went down on tlie train with W. W.t Wood ruff. the live proprietor of the weU knows Woodruff fruit farm. He spoke very hope fully of the fruit prospects ol tlie year, and very confidently of tlie outlook on his own place. At a future day I hope to make a run through his orchards, and write them up for tlio Tzlzor.mil Mr. Woodruffis a member of tlie Young Farmers' Club, and will go to Holton on the first, and probably read an interesting paper at that convo nflon.

The court will reassemble on the 13th of Slay for the purpose of disjiosing of those after which it will adjourn for the term. We are informed tlwt Justice Blandford In dispensing justice has Who dispensed with bis well-known and well-worn felt hat, and in lieu thereof has mounted a modern beaver. It remains to be seen whether his friends and neighbors will recognize him under his new headgear, flow ever this may be, we trust that bis per ennial wit and humor have not been dismissed along with his ancient tile. Jesting azide, the friends of Justice Blandford felt some apprehensions, when he went on the trench, lest he might not sustain bis reputation as s lawyer. It was s new position, aiul it wns not known whether he possessed the judicial mind and temper to me- jqoit himself successfully as a juJge of These arprehen- Mr. Springer Will Plonso Tnka tho Stand 51r. Springer has devoted whatever timo he could spare from putting the thumbscrews to Benjamin Brewster anil hlsTinilerlingH, to the expression of tho very crude views ho entertains upon the tariff. Tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat Invites him to come forward and unravel knotty inquiry. It says: "Mr. Springer Is asked to step forward where he ean be eesily hoard aud explain how it comes if. as be says, "consumers this country pay a tax of IS per cent, wood and wnodenwaro,” that wo ship such products to nearly every nation oa tbo earth, and make money at It. Does he wish us believe that if we had free trade we could buy from other countries at a saving of U tier cent, tlie very things which these coun tries now buy from us at remunerative price.? Mr. Sprinter is obviously not good at agurea." Perhaps 5Ir. Springer may yet he too busy to devote hit powerful mind to 1 ft he solution of the problem given. In that event perhaps some of his free trade admirers and supporters In Geor gia would not object to taking the job off Ids hands. The Savannah jV’ew’s, tho Albany New* nml Adtertieer, the Fort Valley Uirrort the HiomasqUlc Enterji the Monroe Adcertieer and. the Federal Union, of 5tillcdgevfUc, are advanced advocates of the views held by 5Ir. Springer. Wo should be pleasd if any one or ail of them would favor us with a solution of the rebus quoted above. Safety! Economyt!
