It has been my pleasure to give my best efforts in an endeavor to defeat the- bill establishing the an gle gold standard and making the people dependent upon the National Banks for-their money. The repub lican party is further, following in the footsteps of England by declar ing for a colonial system and impe rialism. I oppose this and other unjust republican legislation against the interests of my people. I have introduced a bill to repeal the War Stamp tax; but the Ways and Means let the same be considered. I have at all times stood for true, democrat ic principles. My constituents have never, I think, found me unfaithful nor unwilling. In appealing to the people of my district, I feel that I call upon as just and noble a people as live with in any Congressional district in the United States, and I go before them with an account of my stewardship, sure of justice and fair treatment.

I have tried, as often as one time, to read a report of the Secretary of the Treasury. I thought it was well to exercise the mind that way. The words of the honorable Secretary^ considered separately, were plain enough, but his meaning was not clear. Perhaps he understood it. Or he may have reasoned, with him self that it is never unsafe to discuss the obtuse questions of finance, be cause very few men are able to de tect and expose the fallacies of the discussion, and these few are busy with other matters. When, the dis cussion deals with the subtle phases of finance, such as elasticity of the currency, it seems to a novice that the thing might contract at the wrong time. I think it would. But there is much about money and the use of it, and the power of it, that is easily understood. Recently a bill was passed estab lishing the gold standard, and con trary to till argument and all philos ophy the price of beef to the con sumer is higher. The quality of the beef is not improved, and the conclusion is unavoidable that the purchasing power of money is di minished. Now I know that some body will take the opposite view, for there are many intelligent men who will argue with all their might against a mathematical demonstra tion. For instance, an expert ac countant in a neighboring town con tends that the present year is the beginning of the twentieth century. I cahsee clearly enough that my beef argument maybe controverted, if some-one shall say that politicians are cheaper than ever. But may not this imply an obvious deterioration of the commodity? Money that huys whatever we need is good enough for its uses, and all this talk about a gold, stand ard and a gold basis is theoretical bosh- The government itself is the basis, and while the government is thoroughlybad, it still maintains re sponsible existence. Ninety per emit, of the male pop ulation believe that borrowed money is the best money in the world, and a fanatical effort to demonstrate the aonndness of this belief has weHnigh precipitated qthe wreck of matter and the crush of worlds.” C£SflHBl@E0BF LETTER. The Porto Bican bill is now the law of the land with alL its faults and imperfections on its head. Chas. FT. Allen, of Massachusetts, Raw Assistant Secretary of the Na vy, has accepted the post of gov ernor under the bill and will leave at once for the islaad. He and his executive council of carpetbag gers appointed by the President, will have mors power and less responsibility than any body of men in our history has had since the civil war! If they do not loot the island, it will because they are honest men, differing from others of their tribe sent south in 1865, and not because there is anything in the laws to prevent them. They are not elected by the people, but hold office only by the goad will off the President; and they have full control over all the enormously valuable franchises of the island. Mr. Allen is an honest man, but his sense of rectitude will be put Committee (a majority of whomaml tQ severe t6fit „ between the republicans) have so far refused, to people on one side and the power fal trusts and syndicates that have the - ear of the President on the other. If no scandal results, it will be an unexpected tribute to the sense of decency of the carpet bag council. The Senate, having determined to take action on the bill leaving the Philippines expressly in the hands of the President-until the next session of Congress, Senator Morgan has determined to make an effort to secure for the people there some of the rights for which they went to war with Spain.

(Ton stfhi t.i nir. Following the suggestion of The Constitution, in connection with the views of Colonel B. T. Hesbitt, brought out by the condition of the cotton market at the opening of the present season, the producers of Georgia have determined upon united work for the purpose of meeting the next market. The initiative was taken by the farmers df Troop county, who have taken an intlefiigent interest in the matter from the first. They have called upon their brother farmers of the state to meet in convention on May 12th in Macon to take into consideration sack measures as will secure unity of purpose This con vention should be attended by the farmers of the slate generally, be cause the more men who are actual ly brought together the more are influenced by the result. The formers of Troup have al ready marked out two important guides to future success which, if adopted, will go a long way toward bringing abont the desired end. The first is that the aid of mer chants aud bankers is essential. It is a fake policy which would limit the consideration of agricultural topics to those solely engaged in that calling. The: men who supply the credit as well as those who han dle the products as merchants farm a very important part of the class affected, and their addition to any formers’ consultation helps to per fect and give it elements of strength. The anbstantial aid giv en by the bankers and merchants the past season has demonstrated the assistance the one can give to the other. A continance of this friendly condition should be the aim of all who are interested in the prosperity of our country. The second pointrstaked out by Troup county is that the politician should be excluded. A politician has no more business in or about a formers’ convention than he would have about a directory meet- ingof a bank or a brick kiln. Bus iness should be considered from, a basin ess standpoint purely,, and a forming assembly hason hand bus iness of a very serious nature. If aor agriculturists wilL securely rule out the politician and estab lish a fast alliance with the bank ers and merchants they will have au opportunity of improving their condition. The Constitution congratulates the farmers of the state on these evidences of progress and will watch with, attention their future development. STRONG SHOE CO.
