Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria
FLORIDA AS IT iS
Suggestions from a Former Georgian,
v Written for The Hove Jouhnal.
Live Oak, Fla., June 20th, 1891.
Florida bas been the home of
the writer since December 1877.
Circumstances have, until now,
prevented responses to verbal re
quests before I came, and written
solicitations since, for information
respecting the country. As a let
ter to each is impracticable now, I
propose a compliance through the
columns of The Home Journal.
Much has been written and pub
lished about Florida, and tolerably
correct ideas and conclusions may
be drawn from these effusion, as to
the most desirable portions and !o
calities, provided due allowances
are made for the play of the imag
ination and fancies of the authors,
who,for the most part, are tourists,
pleasure and health seekers-'flnd
newspaper correspondents.. These,
having ample time and means, pass
hurriedly over our highways and
visit only the popular resorts, en
joying the splendid appointments
and sumptuous fare of the palatial
hotels, cars and steamers, and the
homes of the rich and well-to-do.
These come in winter, when to the
invalid, the convalescent and the
robust lovers of pleasure, the cli
mate is exquisitely lovely. As sum
mer approaches they leave us, to
enjoy and write np favorite resorts
in higher latitudes. They know,
and consequently write and say
nothing about onr summer; pre
cious little about our lovely spring
and fall seasons. It is..truethat the
descriptive talent of these people
could find a richer field if they
would come in summer as well as
in winter,and divide their time be
tween tbeir favorite resorts and the
country. Experience is known to
be the'best teacher, and they could
then bette tell all who think of em
igrating to Florida what to expect
the year round; how best to utilize
the advantages and checkmate and
surmount their opposites. Serious
ly, this suggestion should be
stressed, for the reason that the
discouragements, losses and ca
lamities inflicted upon the credu
lous who are induced to come by
partial reports are hurtful,.and in
many instances heartrending.
For the afflicted the great and
good Creator seems to have plant
ed this unique portion of His han
diwork in this genial sunny clime,
under its clear blue covering stud
ded with millions of brightest stars
lit with the’,brilliancy and increas
ed silvery sheen of semi-tropical
sun and moon, continuously mov
ing its soft atmosphere given, and
describd by himself iD Ecclesias
tics 1st and 6th, and made it a san
itarium where health may be res
tored, the pains of disease allevi
ated, and the approaches as well as
the presence of death itself are
made more tolerable.
But, with all these and more,
Florida is not an Eden. Here, as
well as elsewhere, the fragments of
the original garden are mixed end
mingled with the losses and penal
ties incurred by the destruction.
Thorns and thistles grow, storm
clouds and beating rains spend
tbeir fury, sinking waters and even
the eartkquake'shock, disease and
sickness bring anxiety and induce
fears and a longing for a home ex
empt from these; but where can it
be found! Where? While I would
not and do not refuse to tell this,
I do not and cannot hesitate to say
after a residence of more than ten
years here, that I am satisfied that
as good, desirable and healthful !
homes can be built np in Florida
as in aDy other countrj/or clime.
The breaking np of life-long as
sociations, scenes and attachments,
and moving far rway, is a step in
life which, to be wisely taken,must
be maturely, seriously and dis
creetly considered beforehand,each
one for himself, and herself.
A highly wrought and partial
account of what is met with and
seen hereon a flying trip, or dur
ing a few weeks or months so
journ, or by another whose fancies
arc naturally excited by comforts
fully met by a! semi-tropical cli
mate and scenery, and the appoint
ments that only a fall pnrse can
command do not represent Florida
as it is, or furnish sufficient data
for a safe estimate, or calculation,
as to what one who makes his or
her permanent home in this state
may expect. .
The test of contact and experi
ence, and for a' longer term than
a winter pleasure trip, only is re
liable. Come then, if yon will,
expecting to give and take hard
licks. Be sure that you believe
hearfily jn the inexorable decree

A BTJSHEL^)F MEAL.
Monroe Advertiser.
Two pounds of meal is a small
matter to write about; but 46
pounds don’t make a bushel of
meal, and he who sells you 46
pounds for a bushel commits the
same crime es he who sells yon a
spavined horse fora sound horse.
Where the miller or merchant
furnishes the sack, and sacks the
meal, two pounds of meal is little
enough for him to charge,. There
is still objection to the rule. It af
fords the seller an opportunity of
charging twice for the sack and
sacking; once by taking off the two
pounds—twice by putting an an
additional price for sacking and
then deducting the two pounds.
Better put 48 pounds in the sack
and charge for the sack; or do as
most honest merchants do, notify
the buyer that there are only 46
pounds in the sack, but the charge
is so much. This puts the buyer
upon notice, and he buys at Ins
own risk.
There is another objection to the
rule. Custom over-rides law—cus
tom makes law. If the miller con
tinues this practice, soon the law
wall recognize 46 pounds as a bush
el, thus allowing the miller two
pounds more than is now allowed.
By just such sly innovations on
the part of business men, and by
criminal acquiescence on the part
of consumers, have all the great
wrongs been fastened on the con
suming class. Grasping cupidity
on the one hand, and criminal in
difference on the other, have been
the chief causes of slavery the
world over, and have been the
dynamite that has destroyed the
governments of the earth. Little
things count; for behind and un
der them are often principles big
as mountains and as eternal as
God himself. Look well to the
small things. Root out grass and
weeds as soon as they make then-
appearance.-

The farmers shonld not be mis
led by such arguments as these.
The simplest investigation of the
facts will prove that "they are not'
correct
The entire revenues of the gov
ernment are raised by means of
this tariff. There is no other source
from which a single dollar comes
into the national treasury. It is
levied upon various articles, upon
nearly every article, in fact, used
for food, raiment, and for their
production. It has been properly
said that the American farmer
taxed by this tariff from sunrise to
sundown, and from sundown to the
coming of the morning. It taxes
the clothes lie wears and the food
he consumes; the plows and hoes
he uses in the cultivation of his
crops; the chair in which he sits at
noon and night, and the table from
which, and the knife and fork with
which he eats: It draws its trib
ute from the lamp which he lights
at night, and the bed and bedding
which he sleeps. He cannot
escape it and live. It is with him
every moment, and walks and
sleeps by bis side, and even ' when
he dies it follows him to his grave
in his coffin and mingles with bis
dust in his burial robe. Still, not
vital! If the tariff is not vital,
what question is? The money
which the tariff draws from him
every moment, waking and sleep
ing, would remain in bis pnrse
were that tariff removed. It would
remain in circulation and not be
thrown into the vaults of the treas
ury and thence into the coffers of
the manufacturers and holders of
non-taxable bonds.
The amount of money saved to
the masses is in proportion to the
amount they pay towards the sup
port of the government Statistics
show that the farmers pay eighty
per cent, of the taxes of the United
States. This tax comes only
throngh the tariff. Is it not plain,
therefore, were this tariff removed,
eighty per cent, of the revenues of
the government would remain with
the farmers? The fact is too evi
dent to require argument.
How can the National Econo
mist, or any other organ having at
heart the prosperity of the masses,
conscientiously advise the farmers
not to disease and advocate a re
duction of the tariff? That tariff
secures a half billion of dollars an
nually, of which, according to the
Economist’s own fignres, four hun
dred millions are paid by the far
mers. Why should not that five
hundred millions, or fully twenty
dollars per capita, remain in the
pockets of the farmers? Why
should it not remain in circulation
instead of being drawn into gov
ernment vaults?
The tariff is a vital matter to the
farmers. It is a vital matter to eve
ry wage earner and laborer in this
anion. To declare that its reduc
tion and reform would not benefit
the farmers is to make an asser
tion the facts will not for a mo
ment sustain.
The tariff is not alone responsi-
ble 0 for the depressed condition of
the agricultural and laboring class-
ess, but it is largely so. It has
been a powerful factor in building
up trusts and monopolies and cre
ating a plutocracy. If the farmers
abandon the tariff as an issue, they
will have abandoned • one of their
most powerful strongholds and re
leased a measure which would
bring them relief. Arguments ad
vising them to abandon it should
be thoroughly sifted.
to work, and who are diligently at
work in obedience to God’s com
mand. While this is true, it is al
so true that we will find many who
are not thus, and not a few who
cannot be properly classed save it
be in the line of vagrants. And a
close observation will satisfy any
one that this class is increasing
throughout this country. They
comprise the non-workers, who
produce nothing, do nothing, have
no visible means of snpport.no em
ployment and seek none. They
are to be found in large cities,
small cities, towns, villages, and in
the country. They are passing
through this world living on the
labor of others, and are not only
dead weights, bat evil nuisances in
any community in which they hap
pen to be. Out of this class natu
rally develop burglars, thieves and
robbers. - They have no pride'of
character, no ambition, no aspira
tion, but are simply self abandon
ed idlers, profligates and roaming
tramps. An exchange says of
them:
“They are able-bodied men, but
it soon becomes evident that they
have no occupation, and are seek
ing none. - They fill the legal defi
nition of vagrancy - by having no
visible means of support, aud by
leading idle and dissolute lives.
Their presence in a city is a con
stant-menace to its peace, its mor
als and its property. They live
upon the labor of others, produce
nothing, and in the course of time
go to swell the ranks of more ac
tive criminals.”
Yes, they are evidently vagrants
and are amenible to the vagrant
law. They prowl about the towns
and throngh the country simply to
seek an opportunity for plunder
ing a living from those Adio do
work.'
There is no channel through
which these “dead beat” idlers can
be reached except through the va
grant law, and its rigid enforce
ment, in'every instance, would be
a blessing to the whole people.
And if the present vagrant law is
not sufficiently strong and sweep
ing to meet the emergency, it
should be made so, and that speed
ily. Idleness and vagrancy, which
constitute the hot-bed of profliga
cy and dissolute habits, shonld not
be tolerated anywhere or among
any people. Wherever evidencies
of these come to the surface the
vagrant law should be speedily
and rigidly enforced. Touching
its enforcement the Atlanta Con
stitution says:
‘So long as we ignore the va
grancy law, we may expect to see a
worthless class in the city recruit
ed by the same class in the coun
try, and onr streets will swarm
with tramping' negroes and a few
whites whose labor is actually
needed in many lines of employ
ment.
We must get rid of these nuis
ances, or they will take possession
of the cities and towns, and make
it necessary to double our police
force. The vagrancy statute is one
of the best laws in our penal code.
It does not strike at the honest
poor man who is out of work and
looking for a job. It is aimed at
the fellow who „witb no means of
support, is determined to lead an
immoral and idle life.
“We must put new life into this
half-dead statute and carry it out.
The beneficial effects of such a
course will soon be apparent.”
THE POWER OF RAILROADS.
Greensboro Heral(l-Journal.
Since the .legislature of 1888-89
refused to pass an act enforcing
the article of the constitution rein
tive to the control of railroads and
the preventing ot consolidation,
the work of absorption by the
Richmond Terminal has steadily
progressed until every railroad
line in this State, with perhaps
oua or two exceptions; is under the
sway of JJmt corporation, whose
headquarters are in Wall street.
One by one lines which checked
the way of this anaconda of rail
roads have been seized, crushed
and swallowed until nothing in the
way of appreciable eompetiton re
mains. In past.pumbers we have
faintly illustrated how the advan
tage gained has been used by the
railroads to demand whatever they
might desire in the way of tariff,
and the people have been compell
ed to knuckle. The beginning,
however, has 'scarcely been made.
FOOLISH EXPENDITURES.
Sunny South. —
We often hear persons make the
1 remark that they can make money
bht cannot save it. As-« matter of
fact'the explanation of the larger
share of poverty in the world lies
not in a lack of industry so much
as in a lack of economy. Did even
half the people lay up what they
might from their earning3 the
number of the wealthy would be
greatly increased. There would
too, in- this event, be fewer enor
mous fortunes accumulated. For
it is a truth, thongh unwillingly
admitted to be so, that the few get
vastly rich because the many are
not prudent in taking care of what
they earn. Every man who re
solves to live within, his income,
and persistently stands to that res
olution, removes himself from the
risk of becoming a prey for specu
lators.

and they will' push the advantage
they have gained with all their
might.
Writing upon this subject, the
Macon Evening News says:
“Georgians do not kuow how
powerfully railroad influence is
brought to bear upon the state’s
legislature, bat the history of the
past will be ns nothing to the fu
rare.
The Richmond Terminal has
taken possession ol Georgia. It is
mauagedby tbe shrewdest railroad
operators of the age. It is without
conscience, seeing naught that
stands between it aud success.—
Georgia is likely to regret the day
the Richmond Terminal invaded
this fair commonwealth.
“The power of these roads, grow
ing year by year as the conceptions
of their managers expand and
broaden, is soMething thnt some
how and’in some way must be met
and overcome. Hence it is very
necessary that our people awaken
to the conditions surrounding
them. They must study the meth
ods of these invaders, and devise
means to hold them to their legiti
mate rights, otherwise they will
soon become tbe masters, and tbe
sovereign people tbeir bounden
subjects.”
The News is not au alarmist,and
the points it sets forth are worthy
of study, The power of this giant
monopoly shonld be checked be
fore it has gained a position of ab
solutely invulnerable power. Ef
forts to do so in the past have
proved futile because the people
have been lukewarm. They have
allowed specious arguments of
shrewd railroad attorneys to move
them from a prosecution of their
demands. It will be remembered
how often it was advanced in the
legislature referred to above that
the enforcement of the constitu
tion wonld stop railroad building in
Georgia. Could it have been more
effectually stopped than at present
under crushing effect of the Ter
minal system"? Wonld competition
have been as utterly destroyed as
at present? Would the railroads
of Georgia,and the people who are
dependent upon them for trans
portation, have been so completely
under tbe power of one system and
that system under the control of
Gould, the wrecker, and his Wall
street brothers?
The people can study these ques
tions, and they can then ascertain
whether the abandonment of <he
fight on railroad combinations was
a wise step.

a dollar’s service. This is a form
of common sense that is very far
from being common. Some in
their efforts in this direction de
velop a stinginess (bat does not
and should not commend itself to
general admiration. But the prac
tice of a prudent economy which'
has in it nothing of niggardliness,
demands a sonndness of judgment
that is decidedly rare. The num
ber of those who become rich with
out being unduly close or unjustly
grasping tire very small.
Some, however,know better than
they care . willingly to do. They
are not willing to subject tlir-m-
elves to the sacrifice which they
recognize as necessary to accumu
lation. They cannot bring them
selves, to forego the gratification of
their tastes, though aware that
such gratification is unwise. Tims

they conkl have dispensed with,
