Recent events prove conclusively
that Hon. W. J. Bryan and other
democratic orators were right when
they made opposition to trusts one
of the chief campaign contentions.
Acts of congress and the adminis
tration show clearly that the repub
lican party is in league with the in
dustrial and commercial monopolists
against the material interests of the
people generally.
Our Washington correspondent,
Mr. E. G. Siggers, gives the follow
ing illustration of the partnership.
“The sugar trust has scored again;
its last previous victory having been
when it persuaded McKinley to shift
on the Porto Rica tariff question.
This time the result will be more se
rious. Under the Dingley law, when
a foreign country grants bounty to
sugar grown within its borders, the
United States lays a countervailing
duty equal # to the bounty on that
sugar if imported into the United
States. Such duties have been im
posed on German, French and Hol
land sugars. Russia, which has re
cently begun to export sugar, gave
no bounty and has been exempted
from such taxation, a fact that caus
ed much discontent in the European
countries just named. This, howev
er, would have been of little import
ance had not the sugar trust found
that its interests would be injured if
Russia were allowed to develop her
trade in that material. Some Rus
sian sugar comes over raw, but most
of it comes in such a conditien that
no further refining is necessary, thus
entering directly into competition
with the trust. Hence, the latter
set to work to devise some excuse
for barring it out, and with the
present subservient administration
to back it, easily found one. Russia
charges an internal revenue tax on
sugar grown there «nd remits this
when the sugar is axported. The
trust argued that this remission
amounted to a bounty, and succeed
ed in persuading Secretary Gage to
impose a tax equal to Russian inter
nal revenue levy. The secretary ev
idently failed to consider that, if
this be a bounty, the United States
also pays bounties on nearly every
article taxed by its internal revenue
laws, as it remits these duties when
the goods so taxed are exported.
Yet the United States has never
been accused of paying a bounty on
whiskey making, for instance. A
commercial war with Russia is like
ly to follow this unjust discrirainar
tion.”

In speaking of Mrs. Nation’s sa
loon smashing in Kansas, Hon. W.
J. Bryan truthfully says, while it is
not proper to attempt to cure law
lessness with lawlessness, “those
who condemn Mrs. Nation, in order
to be consistent, must also condemn
the violation of the liquor laws. . . .
A law not enforced breeds contempt
of law.” Kansas is nominally a pro
hibition state.
Hon. J. Pope Brown, says the At
lanta Daily News, announced to his
friends in the capital city last week
that he is a candidate for governor
of Georgia, to succeed Gov. Cand
ler. The announcement is referred
to the committee of the people of
the whole state, and they will act
upon it next year.
It was a queer state of affairs in
Atlanta last Saturday, when a po
liceman arrested a Justice court bai
liff for disorderly conduct, and in
turn the bailiff arrested the police
man for interferring with an officer
in the discharge of his duties.
Ordinary Wilkinson of Fulton
county has discovered that oyer 1,-

the irregularities corrected.

It is very generally believed that
the cotton crop of 1901 will be ex
ceptionally large. In proportion to
the decrease in the price of cotton,
there will be an increase in the price
of food products.

nesday of last week, the electoral

Miss Eunice Dukes of Atlanta,
who is visiting Mr. and Mrs. T. H.
Brown, is making many friends
among the young people. She is an
expert organist and delights her
many friends with sweet music.
Mrs. Brown gave a musical enter
tainment one evening last week in
honor of Miss Dukes.
Our postmaster, Mr. Henry Car
ter, was taken quite ill Monday
morning with something like appen
dicitis. Dr. Warren of Byron was
dispatched for, who responded and
said Mr. Carter was quite sick.
We regret to chronicle the death
of Mrs. Jab. Walker, who died at
her home Monday evening. Mr.
Walker has the entire sympathy of
the neighborhood in his sad be
reavement.
The farmers of chis section are
somewhat backward in the prepara
tion of the soil for another crop, ow
ing to so much rain.
Wheat is very small for the time,
but it appears healthy. Those who
did not plant for the harvest this
year are regretting their mistake, as
we have one of *tho finest flour mills
in the country. Mr. A. J. Houser
makes flour by the roller process,
and the flour can’t be beat in the
state. Mr. Houser has been running
his mill about six weeks, putting up
from 15 to 20 barrels per day. Still
the wheat comes. He has from 400
to 600 bushels of wheat ahead all
the time. The people have no ex
cuse for not planting wheat now. I
can truthfully say this mill is a bless
ing to the country.
Editor Bryan, of The Commoner,
correctly endorses the reputed de
sire of Col. Roosevelt that the Vice
President shall hereafter receive
more consideration from the Presi
dent than has heretofore been ac
corded the occupant of that office.
The Commoner says the Vice Presi
dent should at least be an ex-officio
member of the Cabinet and an ad
visor of the President. Certainly,
he should be more than the presid
ing officer of the senate.
