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. ATLANTA, GA., NOVEMBER 1.5,1881. We hope to see this important matter thor oughly discussed by oar exchanges. The sub ject is a suggestive one.

Foster denies that he has nominated Blaine for president in 1884. Foster, however, is a very rapid hedger, as he demonstrated at Chicago. There is no good reason why he shouldn???t deny his denial two years from now. Thf. New Orleans Picayune says that ???Buffalo Bill wants a play with some grammar in it???

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 to visit him at Washington during his term of office, and that Mr. Bright refused. Had Mr. Bright known that the white house was used asa cider flat, he would have returned the Hayes invitation uno pened. Nobody will ever know what Mr. Hayes ex pected to make out of Bright. Vennor???s winter appears to be fitting itself to the mildness which he predicted. And yet, to allow this paragraph to go to press without employing a man to set up with it in case of a flurry in the neighbor hood of the thermometer Is a very rash thing to do. We have this consolation???there are no more elec tions in Ohio this fall. Only under an intensely republican form of government is it possible to ap preciate such a boon as this. Miss Frances E. Willard has been saying some monstrous nice things about Arthur, and right to his face, too. As yet Miss Willard is single, rather handsome and a remarkably clever talker. A PLAIN ANSWER. The Home Tribune, a paper that ought to I convenience and clung to old methods when know better, and probably does know better, a little economy???a little enterprise???a little asks this question: I additional energy???would have saved them ???For ten years the democratic party has had I on the sixteen years since the war (to go back charge of the shite. In all that time has it done I no further) millions and millions of dollars. 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 rounding it would guide its deliberations in channels and directions wholly new and yet of pressing importance.

The saving to tlic people from the reduction of expenses and interest is so great, that even Hie half taxes now collected make a surplus where the high taxes formerly left a deficien cy. And the legislature discussed at its last session the propriety of still further lowering the taxes. Wo submit these facts to the Tribune. There is no state in the length or breadth of this union can make a better showing. With tion seems to meet the approval of the cotton planters of the south, that the leading manu facturers of New England and the south will lie in attendance. We need not undertake to outline the proceedings of such a convention. No thought ful person needs to be told that its deliberations will be of vital interest to the cotton planters of the south, or that it results will be of far-reaching importance.
