DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
Wc hold to the use of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the country, and
to the coinage of both gold and silver with¬
out discrimination for mintage, against but the either dollar in eta], unit or of
charge both metals must be of equal in¬
coinage of
trinsic and exchangeable value or be adjust¬
ed through international agreement, or by
such safeguards of legislation as shall insure
the maintenance of the parity of the two met
ills and the equal power of every dollar at all
times in the markets ami in the payment of
debts; and we demand that all paper curren¬
cy shall be kept at par with and redeemable
iii such coin. Wo insist, upon this policy as
especially necessary for the protection of the
farmers aud laboring classes, the fiist and
most defenseless victims of unstable money
and a fluctuating currency.—Currency Plank
of the National Democratic Platform.
Upon the great question of currency, we
reiterate the principles and purposes of our
national platform, indorsed with such unpar¬
alleled unanimity by the people in 1892. and
urge upon our senators and president,a representatives
iu congress, and upon our speedy
repeal of the prohibitory tax upon the issue
of state banks. We demand the immediate
passage of such legislation us will restore
silver to its constitutional position the ns free a
money metal, and will secure at once
and untilited coinage of gold and silver on a
parity, and give to every dollar in circula¬
tion, whether coin or paper, the same debt
paying and purchasing power.—Currency
Plank of the State Democratic Platform.
Tammany is done for. Last
week’s election killed it, and the
addition of Brooklyn and other
adjoining cities will help to ketp
it dead.

The House finance committe has
made one move in the direction of
economy, having reported favora¬

$2,500 to $2,000.

The Japanese and Chinese war
continues, with honors in favor of
the Japs. The rat eaters seem to
have no backbone, and are easily
put to flight by their enemies in
every engagement. They are anx¬
ious for peace, hut it is not likely
to come until their empire is bro¬
ken up.
A bill providing for the election
of judges and solicitors by the peo¬
ple has been reported adversely by
the House committee on general
judiciary. It seems that senti¬
ment is rather in favor of placing
their appointment in the hands of
the governor, and a hill will prob¬
ably be introduced to that effect.

A certain old farmer had neg¬

his corn patch presented a rather
sickly appearance; but he than!ed
God for the consolation that his
was not the only patch that look¬

lists find great consolation in
fact that they were not the only
ones who were defeated in last
week’s election.

New York will soon be the Jarg

second only in population, a hill
having been passed by the New
York legislature providing for con
solidatiing New York, Brooklyn,
Jersey City, Hoboken and other
suburbs of the metropolis of the
new world. The population of the
new municipality will be over
3,000,000—next to London, with
her 5,000,000.

“A WHITE ELEPHANT.”
Comparing last week’s landslide
with that of two years ago, there
is no certainty that another slide
may not take place in 1896.
Regarding this possibility, the
Augusta Chronicle says:
“There is iittle doubt that the
republicans were as much surpris¬
ed at the result of the recent elec¬
tion as the democrats themselves,
and after the first flush of victory
is over, and the responsibility of
the situation begins to loom up be¬
fore the g. o. p., it will be like the
unhappy fellow in “Wang,” “with
an elephant on his hands.” It is
a mighty easy matter to laugh and
poke fun at another fellow on
skates, but when he takes them off
and we put them on, we find that
the fun goes on just the same,—
but we are not in it. The possi¬
bilities are that the next Congress
may furnish just as much room
for criticism as the present, but
the republicans will not be in a po¬
sition to enjoy it.
“No more tariff legislation will
be possible for them, and the dem¬
ocrats could wish for nothing bet¬
ter than for the republicans to re¬
peal the income tax. The great
problem before the country is that
of finance, and while the republi¬
cans would doubtless like to settle
it, they are as much divided on the
subject as the democrats. It is not
a problem to be solved satisfacto¬
rily to all classes the first guess,
and republicans will have a bad
quarter of au hour when they
tackle it.
“In the Senate the republicans
will have a helpless majority, and
one they can never depend upon.
They will be worse off with their
populist balance of power than the
Democrats were with a nominal
majority in the preseut. Senate,
and will find themselves entirely
unable to force legislation. From
a purely stragetio standpoint, and
looking at the election as a play
for position, it is a very open ques¬
tion if the republicans have
hurt themselves by their tremen¬
dous victory. They have shifted
all responsibility from the shoul¬
ders of the democrats to their own,
and will, nevertheless, be unable
to carry out any legislation that
will be calculated to strengthen
them before the people. They have
been ridiculing democratic incom¬
petence, and are iu great danger of
making a spectacle of themselves
in turn. They have throughout
the present campaign charged the
hard times upon the democratic
party and promised good times if
republicans were elected. The peo¬
ple have put the beer on them, so
to speak, and if they do cot re¬
deem their promise they will be
thrown overboard lock, stock and
barrel.
“A thoughtful man said yester¬
day that he regarded as the most
hopeful phase of the recent land¬
slide the notice that had been serv
ed on both the old parties that the
people were independent of either,
and would overthrow one as quick¬
ly as the other if recreant to its
obligations, Two years ago the
republican party was overwhelm¬
ingly defeated. The defeat of the
democrats this year could not mean
a reversal of public opinion on the
issues they decided two years ago,
but simply meant dissatisfaction
with the democrtic administration,
The election means that the people
are on top and not the party. It
meaps that the people mean to con
trol parties, and not allow parties
and party machines to control
them. It is a hopeful sign. It
presages better government.

LOOKING FOR THE REASON.
It is in order now for every pol¬
itician and every newspaper to
bring forward a reason for the re¬
publican landslide of last week.
Those of the populist persuasion
will tell us that it is a demand for
free silver; but the falling oft’in
populist representation in congress
suggests the fallacy cf that the
ory.
The republicans will tell us that
it is a demand for a re-adoption of
the McKinley bill; but the Mc¬
Kinley bill was in full swing when
the people ousted the republicans,
which fact indicates that the peo¬
ple can hardly be charged with be¬
ing in love with that iniquity.
We btdieve that it is the result
of a lack of sufficient common
sense upon the great bulk of vot¬
ers m this country to form opin¬
ions for themselves, the conse¬
quence being that they don’t know
what they want, and are just
s .vung from side to side by the ut¬
terances of loud-meuthed irre¬
sponsible politicians.
Both republicans and populists
have left nothing unsaid in their
efforts to convince the people that
all the disasters of the past year—
storms, train robkeriee, fires and
floods—were attributable to dem¬
ocratic legislation, and thousands
of ignorant voters have been fools
enough to think that may be it
was so.
-----
A bill introduced into the legis¬
late by 1 Mr. Houston, of DeKolb,
makes it a misdemeanor far a
street railway to run open cars be¬
tween October and April. It
not pass until another bill, mak¬
ing it a misdemeanor punishable
by chaingang or fine, “or both, at
the discretion of the court,” shall
have been put through, providing
that the temperature shall not go
above 80 ° during that time.
THEY WANT PROTECTION.
Brunswick laborers are leaving
the city, on the pretext that they
are being driven out by competi¬
tion ; and the merchants of the
city are disgruntled, and do not
think that imported laborers
should be allowed to stand iu the
way ef home muscle.
The Times moves that a
staked-and-ridfcred fence be
around Brunswick, and every idle
boy in the city put on guard with
a Winchester.
Let the work to be done iff*
city all be given to men living in
the city, and let these workmen
obliged to do all their trading with
merchants of the city; then com¬
pel these merchants to confine
their sales to people residing in
the city, and make the country
people go to some other city to sell
their produce. Let this strict reg¬
ulation be enforced until the mer¬
chants and laborers of the city
Brunswick learn that this is a
thoroughly free country, in which
men do pretty much as they please
—sometimes.
If Brunswick shall fail to learn
this lesson, then let her secede and
set up a little kingdom of her own,
and adopt a revised edition of the
McKinley tariff law,
---« -M--
Another issue of $50,000,000 of
government bonds is to be made,
Secretary Carlisle having issued
circulars calling for bids. This is
made inevitable by the fact that
the gold reserve has now r leached a
point where it could be completely
wiped out by a few heavy ship
ir outs nul it is thought to he the
part of wisdom not to wait until
the gold in the treasury is practi¬
cally exhausted before making an
effort to recoup.
NOT SO.
Says the Tampa Daily Times:
“The election of Mr. Bacon as
Senator from Geoogia is a distinct
triumph believe in for those and democrats immediate who
the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1.”
The election of Mr. Bacon is no
such thing. In his speech before
the . ... legislature . Mr. „ Bacon insisted . . . .
”
the necessity of , maintaining . , . .
upon
the parity of the gold and silver
’ and stated emphatically 1 that
.. 1 must , he done , somehow. , T He r
1
.. it his , . idea ., that . interuation- . .
as
agreement was the most reliable
and the most desirable of all meth*
for reaching this end.
A resolution which was intro
duced into the Georgia legislature
demanding the immediate and un¬
conditional coinage of silrer at the
ratio of 16 to 1 was squelched by
the very crowd that elected Maj.
Bacon to the United States sen¬
ate.
Will Buy All Your Cotton.
I will say to the farmers and merchants
that I now have orders for cotton and
will buy freely, giving highest limits,
spot cash, no trade, no drafts but money
paid you in Statesboro. I am prepared
to buy any amount in one day. I am
having Sea-island cotton seed selected on
the islands, as there is great need of them
iu this country, and it will be well for all
parties who wish to obtain them to place
their orders with me, and have them de¬
livered later for planting season and profit
thereby. Respectfully, N. R. Lee.
It Has Went Off.
A story is told of a certain showman
who combined with the ordinary circus
performance a display of fireworks, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch. At one town he
advertised the “Battle ol Trafalgar,’’
with burning ships, blazing oceans and
other magnificent effects. He drew such
a vivid picture of that great naval en¬
counter that the people from that entire
countryside were attracted to see it.
When the time arrived the showman
brought his guiding hand to bear,on the
set piece, applied the match in the usual
manner and retired to await results. Sev
e - al minutes passed, but no battle ensu¬
ed. The showman then stepped forward
and addressed the crowd.
“It has not went off,” lie remarked.
“I will now show you the earth quake of
Lisbon.” He gathered the fireworks to¬
gether, and filled a barrel with them. He
poured turpentine over them, sprinkled
the lot freely with gunpowder, and once
more applied the torch with astonishing
results. When all was over he gave a
parting address.
“It has went off, ladies and gentlemen, Good
and so has three of my fingers.

quake will not be repeated.”
