THE CONSTITUTION.
Entered at the Atlanta Post-ofilcc as second-class
matter, November 11,1878.
WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, SIX MONTHS, $1.00.
Without consulting with the managers of
the exposition, we undertake to say that the
suggestions in the foregoing will meet with
their cordial approbation. Indeed, the prime
object of the exposition, and one which has
been most frequently pressed upon public at
tention, is to afford the cotton planters of the
???criptlon. Both subscriptions must be made at the |
same time.

We hope to see this important matter thor

Foster denies that he has nominated Blaine for

pressed heavily and sorely upon the cotton
planters, hut somehow or other it has never
compelled them to study their own in
terests by seeking to learn the desires of
those who regulate the price of the crop.
Just at present the price of the crop is regu
lated in Liverpool by the demands of the
English mills, and it is to be supposed that
the desires of American manufacturers are
not vastly different from those of their British
and European competitors. The cotton
planters of the south have studied their own
It has transpired that Hayes invited John Bright

Vennor???s winter appears to be fitting itself to the

We have this consolation???there are no more elec

anything to lessen the taxes or lift the burdens from
the oppressed people?"
After asking this question, the Tribune an
swers it in the negative. The real truth of the
case is this:
In ten years the democratic party lias re
duced the taxes of the people just exactly
one-half. The tax rate in Georgia is now just
one-half what it was even six years ago. This
is a record no other state can show.
In ten years the democratic party hg re
duced the cost of running the government of
the state more than one-half. It has re
duced the salary of every official
that serves the state from errand boy to chief
justice. It has reduced every special fund
and every appropriation to nearly one-lialf
anti many of them to one-third. This reduc
tion has been gradual and constant.
In ten years it has so lifted the credit of the
state that the interest on her bonds has been
It would be a safe estimate to say that the
average loss from careless handling, careless
and indifferent ginning, and careless packing
has not been less than $1 on every bale mar
keted.
It has been demonstrated time and again
that the indifference of our planters to their
own interests will not admit of any
thing like organization; but surely this
indifference will not permit them to neglect
the opportunities for profitable study offered
by the great cotton exposition. Such a com
vention as that proposed by the Covington
Star would signalize the success of the exposi
tion in a far greater degree than even the
most overwhelming attendance of mere casu
al curiosity-seekers, and the influences sur
