DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
We hold to the use ol both gold and silver
n.s the standard money of the country, nnd
to the coinage of both liold nnd silver with¬
out discrimination against, cither mctnl. or
charge for mintage, but the dollar unit, of
coinoEo of both exchangeable nietnls must value lie of equal in¬
trinsic and or lie adjust¬
ed through interrnitioxal agreement, or Wk
such safeguards of legislation ns sluill insure
the maintenance of the parity of the two met¬
als nnd the equal powerof nnd in every dollar «t ull
times in the markets (lie payment of
debts: nnd wo demand that nil paper curren¬
cy shall be kept fit par with and redeemable
in such coin. We insist.upon this policy ns
especially necessary for tile protection of the
fanners and l.-ibnring Hasses, the first and
most, defenseless victims of unstable money
nnd n fhictnntimr currency.—Cm-rAncy Plank
of the National Democratic Platform.
Upon the great question of currency, we
reiterate the principles and purposes of our
notional platform, indorsed with such unpar¬
alleled unanimity b.v'the people in 1892. an.d
urge upon our sepators and representatives
in congress, and upon our president, a speedy
repeal of the prohibitory tax upon the issue
of state banks. We demand the immediate
passage of such legislation as will restore
silver to its constitutional position ns n
money metal,' nnd will secure at once the free
aud untilited eoinnge of gold and silver on a
parity, nnd give to every dollar in circula¬
tion, whether coin or paper. the saiuo debt
paying and purchasing Democratic power.—Currency Platform.
Plank of the State
mrrsrsxrtsss:
The president of France receives
a salary of $300,000 a year—near¬
ly $1,000 a day. ^’ho wouldn’t

The Press and Printer says that
the expense of publishing a first
class daily newspaper of eight to
twelve pages, is about $3,000 a
week. At those figures, a daily
paper in Statesboro would go un¬
der in about two minutes.
We have upon the pension rolls
of this country 969,547 persona,
and we distribute among them an¬
nually $140,772,163. The New

wealth as well as the poverty of
the country will contribute to it,
and maintains that the income tax
fits the case exactly.

The North German Lloyd steam
spip Elbe, bound from Bremen for
New York, was sunk in a collision
with a small steamer 50 miles off
Lowesteft early yesterday morn¬
ing. She carried 380 souls, and
but-21 survivors have been lauded,
but a few others may still be afloat
in one of the ship’s small boats.
The number of lives lost wasgiyen
out as 350.

If we a^e to have bonds—and
there seems to be no kelp for it—
then it is only common sense to
make the denominations and the
interest as low as possible, as the
president suggests in his message.
If the people are obliged to pay in¬
terest on them, it is manifestly to
their interest to get as many of the
bonds scattered among as many of
the people as practicable, so that
interest will come back to them.
Dr. Sampson Pope, independent
democratic candidate for governor
of South Carolina at the late elec¬
tion, has addressed“'a petition to
congress, asking an investigation
of election metli9dg in that state.
The document declares that voters
were intimidated, and that great
numbers of ballots were cast out
and others substituted. . He asks
congress to take such steps in re¬
gard to the matter as a thorough
investigation may indicate to be
necessary for the correction of cor¬
rupt politics in South Carolina.
It is to be regretted that such an
appeal appears to be necessary up¬
on the face of the fact that we have
insisted upon, and have lately ob¬
tained, a repeal of the federal elec¬
tion law. We have ^insisted that
thg states were competent to pro¬
tect their elections, and have eb
served that it is only the defeated
candidates who cry out fraud; aad,
while we do not doubt that South
Carolina is in a pretty bad way, it
is scarcely to be questioned that
her elections are conducted
as fairly as they have been in twen¬
ty years,
THE NATION’S CREDIT.
The message which the President
sent to congress this week states
the financial situation very clear¬
ly. The credit of the nation is m
peril, and unless congress provides
relief for the treasury at once the
government may have difficulty in -
paying its obligations.
The President would not have
sent this message to congress if lie
had not been satisfied that the con¬
dition of the government’s finan
ces warranted it. He is not an
alarmist, neither is he desirous of
influencing congress to accept his
financial views. He has only one
purpose in view, and that is saving
the nation’s credit.
That this is true is shown by Un
fad that he abandons the Carlisle
pJan for reviving the treasury and
reforming the currency which he
indorses in his message to congress
at the beginning of the present
session, and now recommends a
radically different plan—a plan
which undoubtedly has the appro¬
val of some of the ablest financiers
of the country. The plan which
he now urgesa congress to adopt
would continue the national bank¬
ing system and provide for a lar¬
ger use of silver. It is a question,
however, whether it will cammand
the approval of a majority of con¬
gress. It will yery likely bo an¬
tagonized by the silver men and
those who favor state banks of is¬
sue. Perhaps if the President liad
recommended legislation author¬
izing the Secretary of the Treasury
to issue 3 per cent, gold bonds to
an amount sufficient to maintain
for the pr.osent the gold reserve and
the appointment of a commission
to report the plan for the settle
of the currency question
that recommendation would have
stood a better, chance for being
adopted than the one he has made.
Still, there are excellent reasons
for the course he has se«fn fit to
•pursue. One of the Reasons is the
necessity for the speedy retirement
of the legal/tender notes. As long
as these notes are outstanding
tjTilI bs a very difficult matter, in
the present state of the public
mind, to keep gold in the
And there ought not to he any
great objection to retiring those
notes. A favorite argument of the
silverites is that it is folly to re¬
place the legal tender notes with
interest bearing bonds, but as the
President points out, the notes
have already cost the country a
vast amount of interest, and if they
are not retired they will cost it a
great deal more.
It is the duty of congress to look
at the financial situation
and honestly, hoivever mxch it
dislike to do so. It is a situation
that is full of danger. The
dent does not state it too
when he intimates that the
tiy is threatened with a financial
disaster which would paralyze
iness and the industries and
the burdens of the laboring
harder to bear.
This being the condition of af¬
congress should address itself
once to the task of providing
necessary remedial legislation.

News.
Not long since a prisoner in the
jail at Pittsburg, Pa., confessed
having committed a murder on
New Year’s day, 1891, for which
threemen were convicted and were
serving life sentencesjih the state
penitentiary. The men were first
sentenced to hang, but the gover
nor of Pennsylvania commuted
their sentences to life imprison¬
ment, and thus they are now per¬
mitted to regain their liberty. The
frequent reports of such instances
as this should caution our courts
in regard to capital punishment.
It is an easy matter to liberate a
live man who has suffered for an¬
other’s crime ; but a broken-necked
victim cannot be restored to life.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
The opinion has been
expressed th; t the reports of dam¬
age to Florida by the late freeze
wore exagerated, ar.d we could but
hopo so ; but now, after a run down
the F. C. & P., through the best
orange growing section of the state,
wo are impressed that those unac¬
quainted with o.ir previous con¬
dition are unable to conceive of the
calamity which this state lias stif
fured.
The orange trees all along the
route.have every indication of be¬
ing dead to the roots, with the ex¬
ception of these on the borders of
the large lakes. We had a talk
with the owner of a grove near
Waldo, while the train was stop¬
ped for dinner, who said that near¬
ly all the trees in that section of
the state were undoubtedly killed,
and that many groves would
abandoned. Ilis grove consisted
of 500 bearing trees, which he said
he expected to make no attempt to
restore.
Night overtook ns in the vicin¬
ity of Lacoochee, but down to that
point no evidences were apparent
from the road that the destruction
was not almost complete. The
dead foliage still hanging to the
trees indicated that there was no
sap flowing, and some were cut¬
ting their large trees even with the
ground. On* young man who
boarded the train in the middle of
the orange belt told us that some
laborers were working for their
board in that section.
■ While the above i3 the appear¬
ance of things as we saw them up¬
on our trip down, we are glad to
be able to say that we have heard
somewhat more favorable reports
from other parts of the state, and
that th> 'approaching springtime
will tVevelop the fact that Florida
may be counted on for perhaps
half a crop of oranges next season.
But if the recent calamity shall
serve to direct tillers ot the soil
back to original paths, it will not
prove void of benefits. M’-ny of
the fertile fields where, the farmer
was once managing to make a com¬
fortable living independent of the
orange, have been planted in groves -
to the abandonment of all other
crops. Many have put all their
eggs into one basket, and have had
that basket wrecked. They will
be driven to the strictest economy
for a season, but the experience
will profit them in the end.
—- •-
The Savannah News in comment¬
ing upon the fact that Washing¬
ton, Wyoming and Montana are
only half represented in the pres¬
ent United States Senate, by rea¬
son of the State legislatures failing
to elect mor6 than one Senator,
takes occasion to remark that some
of the States whose seats are filled
by two Senators, are not sa much
as half represented. Of course the
News had no reference to Senator
Gordon leaving his seat and going
out en a lecturing tour during the
last session of congress.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
The Times eommends to the con¬
sideration of the monied men of
this country, the following from
the Thomasville Times:
“Instead of begging northern
mills to come south, and it is all
right if they wish tc come, south¬
ern capital should combine and
build cotton mills. If it will pay
northern capital it will pay south¬
ern capital. And then we ought
to show mill men and investors at
the north that we have sufficient
confidence in the manufacturing of
cotton at the south to put our own
money in it. That will prove, af¬
ter all the best. argument. There
is enough capital in Thomasville
ahd Thomas county to put up more
than one cotton factory. We
should like to see some of the mills
which are coming south located
here, but our people should not
sit down and wait for others to
come and do what they can to a
very great extent, do for them¬
selves.”

HOME, SWEET HOME.
There is one vision that never fades
from the soul, and that is the vision of
mother and of home. No man in all his
weary wanderings ever goes out beyond
the overshadowing arch of home. Lot
him stand on the surf-beaten eoast of the
Atlantic,or roam over western wilds,and
every dash of the wave or murmur of the
breeze will whisper “home, sweet home."’
Let him down amid the glaciers of the
north, and even there thoughts of home,
too warm to be chilled by the eternal
frosts, will float in upon him. Let him
rove through the green, waving groves
and over the sunny slopes of the south,
and in the smile of the soft skies, and in
the kiss of the balmy breeze, 'home will
live again. Let prosperity reward bis
every exertions aud wealth and affluence
bring round him all the luxury of the
earth, yet in his marble palace will rise
unforbidden the vision of his childhood’s
home. Let misfortune overtake him.
still in troubled dreams will his thoughts
revert to his olde nliome.
Ask the lone wanderer as he plods his
weary wi.v, bent with the weight of years
and white with the frost of age—ask hin
what is home, and he will tell .Von, “it is
a green spot in memory, an oasis in the
desert, a centre about which the fondest
recollection of his grief oppressed hearl
clings with all the tenacity of youth’s
first love. It was once a glorious, a hap¬
py reality, hut now it rests only as an
image of the mind.”
The sweetest type of heaven is home.
Nay, heaven itself is home for' whose ac¬
quisition we are to strive most strongly.
Home in one form or another is the great
object of life. It stands at the end of
every day’s labor, and beckons us to its
bosom; and life would be cheerless and
meaningless did we not discern across
the river that divides us from the life be¬
yond, glimpses of the pleasant mansion
prepared for us. Yes, heaven is the home
towards which those who have
aright direct their steps when wearied by
the toils of life. There the members of
the homes on earth, separated here, will
meet again, to part uo more.
