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 risk his life for that? - ♦ ------------------— 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 York World insists that the only way icwfwett wru*wii*» wr’Sjr vise soma means by which the 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. patriotic men of congress put aside schemes for party get together and agree up¬ a plan for saving the nation’s There was a great rejoic¬ ing when by the borrowing of $100,000,000 in gold payments in gold were resumed. Should not then every possible effort be made to maintain gold payments?-—Sav. 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.” -• Bring Your Harness, I am agaiu in town ready lo fix jour old harness or to make you a new set.

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. M. L. Yeale. Statesboro, Ga., Jan. 27,1895. Not Ashamed Nop Afraid.
