SHALL WE APOLOGIZE?
We don’t know whether or not our
readers will claim an apology from us for
'ur changed appearance this week, and
\e really don’t know whether or not we
.we them one. We confess that we are
not entirely satisfied, because we are not
giving just t he paper that it has been our
ambition to present to our numerous
readers, it has been our desire to issue
an all-home print, and have the exclu¬
sive control of the character of the news
furnished, as well as all advertisements
appearing iii these columns. Since con
ducting the Times wejhaveactually reject¬
ed advertisements such as frequently ap¬
pear in ready-print sheets, because we did
not regard them ns worthy of being plac¬
ed before our subscribers; and certain
kinds of news have been studiously ex¬
cluded from the Times. For these rea¬
sons we have been very desirous of retain¬
ing our original form and issuing au all
home print.
But while our effort to please the read¬
ing public lias been duly appreciated, and
the resuR has been a large increase in the
circulation of the Times since we took
hold of it, the advertising patronage lias
not-been sufleient to justify us in main¬
taining the expense incurred in the publi¬
cation of such a pqper. We have, there¬
fore, for the present at least, felt obliged
to reduce expenses by the adoption of the
present form and the use of a ready-print
“beet, giving our readers thereby more
than 100 indies, or more than one page
Bf the present sheet, of reading mutter in
excels of that supplied by the form just
discarded.
At the same’time we shall endeavor to
protect the columns'of the Times from
everything objectionable, in tlie way of
both advertisements and reading matter,
and will maintain it us a vehicle for the
moral and intellectual elevation of every
home into which it may be admitted.
But we believe that as populous and
prosperous a county as Bulloch, and as
wealthy a town as Statesboro, should
sustain an all-home-print paper even
larger than the present Times; and we
hope soon to be able to create and to
meet the demand for such a publication.

Congressman Bryan fared only as
other embryo statesmen will fare in the
“sweet by and by.”
Mr. Cleveland’s recommendations
are meeting with unanimous endorse¬
ment by the people, and our national
lawmakers will do well totake thehint.
President Cleveland has made some
appointments decidedly distasteful to the
south. But-he is our Grover still, and
the most successful practical politician in
the democratic party .—Columbus Herald.
“Rex" in fhe Banner is congratulating
the populist party on the heresy of Col.
Brannen upon the financial question.
The Colonel is just a little off, but not
enough to do Tom Watson & Co. any
good.
The appropriation asked for by Sec.
Smith to meet the expenses of his depart¬
ment for the ensuing year. will be nearly
three and a half million dollars less than
the appropriation for last year. This is
an economical administration, and the
people’s money will not be wasted.
Two good horses kept at work will cul¬
tivate a one-hundred-acre farm, while
one hundred horses locked up in some
man's stable would not break one furrow;
so $25 per capita kept in circulation will
transact thebusiuess of the wholecountrv,
while $500 per capita buried in the mill¬
ionaire's vaults would not buy one loaf
of bread.
I)u. L. B. Davis, who attained some
notoriety as an expert in the treatment
of yellow fever in the epedemic of 1876,
an d in consequence of which was employ
ed by Surgeon Murray to assist in
m-esent siege, ha* been dismissed for in
efficiency. He did not know yellow fever
when he saw a case, aud several of his
patients have died of it while he insisted
upon treating them for malaria.
UNANTMOUSIA’ ENDOUSED.
While the United States senate is beat
ing around the bush in an attempt to
frustrate the effort to repeal the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman bill,
and are talking themselves to death in
the attempt to convince their constitu
cuts that iMr. Cleveland doesn’t know
his business, the people at home are go
ing quietly ahead in endorsing the policy
of the administration and arranging to
lay on t lie shelf those inspired (?) states
men who refuse to aid in carrying out
the pledges of the national democratic
platform.
Congress convened on the 7th of Au
gust upon the call of the President, for
the express purpose of dealing with the
Sherman bill, and in such other legisla
tive action as may be required to “put
beyond all doubt, or mistake, the inten
tion and the ability of the government to
fulfill its obligations in money universal
Jy recognized by all civilized countries.”
Since that date seven democratic state
con vent ions have been held, and every
one of them has endorsed the policy of
the administration ns set forth in the
President's message. They are: Ohio,
Iowa, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Massa
ehusetts, Nebraska and New York.
The only one of those conventions in
which there was any opposition, what¬
ever, was that of Nebraska. Congress¬
man Bryan has been representing
state as being out of harmony with the
administration upon financial question,
and was one of the anti-repealers in the
House of Representatives, He
identic though he was posted on the
lament of the people he represented, and
went home at the , tunc . ol . the , assembling .
of the convention to be present when
should endorse his course . tu
But wliat must have been Mr. Bryan’s
chagrin i • and i mortification -,. , - when , his , • state ,
convention ga\e lum a back scat, and by

the committee on resolutions, and then
adopted resolutions demanding the un¬
conditional repeal of the Sherman bill?
• ► Q --
It is reported that Messrs. Atkinson
and Clay will probably both drop out of
the gubernatorial race in favor of Hon.
Robert G. Mitchell of Thomas county,
giving biii) a clear field in which to meet
Gen. C. A. Evans. Senator Mitchell is
reported to be an anti-Cleveland man,
while Gen Evans is in strict accord with
the administration. That being the case
Gen. Evans is to be the next governor of
Georgia.
Congressman Bryan is in a passion
iifjolit ttio*i?ay las party v Vouv«hitlba sat
down on him, and threatens to go out
and serve his country and his G<yd under
some other name, if he has to go alone.
A u exchange kindly suggests to him*
that he will have Mrs. Lease and Tom
Watson for company; but it is a question
with tile Times whether they ar# serving
either their country or their God.* *!
The - Gen. - — R. E. Lee’s v.
rank and file of
army followed their great commander,
not questioning the wisdom of his move¬
ments. They Imd faith that their leader
understood the situation better than
they, that his heart and his labors were
devoted to the interests of the cause com¬
mitted to his hands, and that he was
worthy to lie trusted. So no democrat
need to wince when charged with confid¬
ingly following thelead of Grover Cleve¬
land.
i
Whfn a mail needs a lawyer, he tries
to obtain the best one in reach; if he i
needs a physician, he has no use for the.
quack. So in the present ailing condi-,
tion of our country we need the prescrip
tion ol the man who is competent to di
agnose the case and name the remedy. |
Pseudo statesmen, whether in legislative:
hull or editing some country paper from
astride a soap box, cannot meet the re
quirements. j
Last night the United States Senate,
began a continuous session, which is not I
intended to adjourn until an agreement I
is reached on the Voorkees bill for the re-!
peal of the Sherman law. I he repealers, i
1
being in the majority, say they are going
to sit there and keep the silverites mak -1
ing speeches until they yield to a vote on
the question of an unconditional repeal;
while the antis say that they haven’t any
sick men in their ranks, and can talk and
talk „ and , talk ,. until ... the repealers will be ,
glad to take a recess until December and
let the question forever drop. That’s
legislation conducted under “senatorial
courtesy.”
Thk House ot Representatives passed
the Tucker bill (being for the repeal of
the federal election laws) Tuesday, by
vote of 200 to 101— a strictly party vote.
The bill was then passed on to the Sen
ate, where . a similar • one had , 11 aa eaih , 1.1 ieen
introduced by Senator Hill.
But if the “senatorial courtesy” that
holds the Senate down on the repeal of the
Sherman law is to be a rule, the Tucker
bill will “strike a stump.” The republi
cans will never agree to its passage, and
the democrats-well, we will wait a little
while and see "hat effect then coin <-s\
is to have on the promise to repeal the
federal election laws.
GONE ON A TANGENT.
Under the important question. “What
is money?” Col.,I. A. Brannen flew off m
a tangent through the columns of the
Star last week. He says: “The $1,600,
000,000 will now buy all of the products,
cotton, wheat, etc. If theinouey remains
stationery in volume, that same amount
of money would buy all the property five
or ten years from now.”
The truth is that the volume of money
in existence has no more to do with the
wealth of the country at large, than the
volume of cash in Bulloch county has to
do with the wealth of the county. In
1890 the assessed value (and everybody
knows that the mil value of property is
greater than its assessed value) of nil the
property in the United States aggregated
$24,249,589,804. To say that “the $1 ,
000,000,000 will now buy all” this is too
absurd. Why, even each o',' the slates of
Massachusetts, New York, Ohio and
Pennsylvania,exceed in assessed wealth
the total amount of money of every char
aeter—gold, silver and paper—in exist
ence in the United States.
But €ol. Brannen didn’t mention real
estate and ordinary personal property,
such as gets on the tax' books, buthesuid
“the $1,000,000,000 will now buy all
of the products, cotton, wheat, etc.”
The Times hasn’t the report of thengri
eultural products for 1892: but the corn
wheat and cotton produced in 1891 was
estimated, in round numbers, at one bill
ion dollars, while the mineral products
of the same year were estimated at $052
414,823. Thus we see the wheat, eorn.
cotton and mineral products of the Uni*
ted States for on<* re -xemled the to
tal amount of mow . in <isten«-e in this
country v nt the time bv fiftv ’ two million
dollars. ... Now tin.- is ;or one years pro
duel ion, w Ilieh does not, by a large sum
constitute the , | mnonnl on hand , , at any
0U( > time, and which the Bolonel savs can
be 0 bought • ” with the mo,.ev • in existence ' ‘
To this is to be added a’i other farm pro
dilutions, including horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs, etc., etc.; then add the manufac¬
tured products, which are also the result
of labor, and tell us if you think the $t
600,000,000 of gold and silver and paper
money would buy them all? We would
be glad to find some well-fixed farmer in
Bulloch that could be persuaded to fol¬
low that argument to its last analysis,
and who would part with his property
upon the theo»y that the money and the
property in the country balance each
other. We’d get a good farm very cheap.
But when he ascertained that there was
no money 0:1 OUI ‘ side, and that conse¬
p.i^rily tb4r Avas no value nt the prop
erty on bi^rete, he'd be apt t to “craw
fish.”
Thp e is in trying to belive that
the United Spates is a little pen tied-up ter
ritory thaL makes no more than it wants
itself, vpul that there must be money
enough, to sril it all at one time for the
t I that when the cash is notforth
H ip a heap, the overplus of pro
ifpce isrf>^orth anything.
In reaufy'American productions of ev¬
ery sort hifV: to enter into competition
with those^of the balance of the world,
aud large proportions of the products
consumed ia -this country come from
across the water. If we were w alled up
and cut off from the balance of the world,
it would make’ no difference what we
used for money. If.a man is inclined to
do so he can make his own farm so nea r
ly self-susfaining as to have a little king
( j om of his own and be independent of the
balance of tb'* world. It will matter not
him if corn is worth 10 cents or $2 a
bushel, as helijyes to himself and neither
huys nor sells. He may have no money;
p u t he has no use for any. But so long
as men traffic with each other, they want
something that constitutes a measure of
vu ] ue . It can make no material difference
w j )a t, that is, just so long as it is sotne
thing that will be accepted by both par
ties.
Now Co). Brannen tells us that “the
best money is gold and silver, because it
f “niveraaHy recognized and lias been
from the remotest ages: and then he
£ e |] iS U8 that there is trouble on baud lie
cause silver ia not recognized, and “the
man who owns the silver mine has no
^Theuatilioa! democratic platform de
niands that the metal in our dollars
“must be of intrinsic and exdiangable
value, or be adjusted through interna
tionat agreement. £ So we disagreement see bv this
that th e muat b(V son.e
U j,on the subject of tbe two precious met
al«, even though we are assured that they
are both “universally recognized.”
How are they recognized in the mar¬
kets of the world? Why, gold is reeog
n \ z ?, d '<g * lhout * 20 dollars per ounce,
while silver is recognized at t o cents per
0111100 — or nearly 27 to 1; and .vet Col.
Brannen would join in the unreasonable
demand that we endeavor, in the face ot
*! ie ' v, i°le world, to_keep up the price of
silver to sixteen to one. Might inst as
we n t«ll tlie nations that our cotton is
worth $1 a pound, and that they must
take it as a legal tender at that price.
.J,} 1 ' 1 ' 1 ’ t'eply would lie worth hearing.
They would say: “You can keep your and
cotton and we will keep will our gold!”
tjiat is just what they say to us on
the silver question when the Colonel’s
policy is carried ont. Me will then have
having all drifted abroad to find the mar
ket that most appreciates its value in
comparison with silver.
