The Man Who Told Us So. “What shall the harvest be?” With the seeds of disaster sown: With the devil loose, with net and noose, To gather in his own; But ’tis sad to recall our actions last fall — A debt of remorse we owe— When we howled and hooted and our bas soon tooted, At those who told us so. Our troubles are here, as predicted last year, Did mortal e’er see such distress ? The Juggernaut’s wheels and goldbug heels Are crushing, we’re free to confess. But now, drunk or sober, we’ll think of October— The month of election, you know— When we votea and repealed, and at the ballot box cheated, All those who told us so. Now, our party is divided, our heroes backslided— Alaa! what a pitiful plight; Twixt Grover and gold we’re out in the cold, They raise not an arm for the right; And we can but remember how last Nov ember— To what extremes poor mortals will go— When we “cussed’’ as best we knew, and “rotten eggs” threw, At him who told us so. But now we confess, in direst distress, They were patriots far above our ken; Far above those we know—as General So and-So — Are angels created superior to men; So with “Satan put behind us,” just look and you’ll find us, Not marching to and fro, But we-11 honor our prophet, and our hat we'li doff it, To the man who told us so. E. Wittich. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 31,1893. Resolutions on The Life of Rev, Luke Robinson. Whereas, it has pleased almighty God in His divine majesty and wisdom to take from us our beloved Christian friend and brother, the Rev. Luke Robinson. Resolved Ist, That as we mourn for him. we meekly bow in humble submis to Him whose righteous will we ac knowledge to be supreme for He doeth and governeth all things well. Resolved 2d, That in the death of him whom we all delighted to love and to honor, we have suffered great loss for one has gone whose place we feel will always be vacant. He was a man who stood at all times for God and the right and often against heavy odds. His nev> r failing courage and integrity for truth made him more than conquerer. He was for nearly 23 years a minister of the gospel according to the baptist faith, having been licensed to preach at Union Grove ohuroh, June 26, 1869 (which place at that time was in Newton county, but now Rockdale,) the great est and best efforts of his life he gave to the people and community that sur round old Union Grove, though his in fluence was felt far and wide, for wherever he went as “a faithful watch man upon the walls of Zion.” he was found doing good, to the eternal bene fit of his fellow countrymen. To know -him was to love him and feel impressed with the God given influence of a good great man. His life, his work, his character, will be a lasting monument to the memory of his people. The night following the day on which he was licensed he preached from the text. * And behold! I come quickly and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.” and from that time with the word of the gospel he has waged an incessant warfare upon all that was evil or wicked until he heard the Di vine call of his Master to come up high er, when he laid aside his armor and on the wings of faith he was borne across the chilly waters of death. He went to his abundant reward according as his works had been. “Asleep in Jesus.” Resolved (rd, that we, while mourn ing his loss, realize the simplicity of his life, the fearlessness of his spirit and his honesty, will be an incentive and inspiration to the members of our order wherever hie fidelity is known, 4th, that we extend our sympathies to the bereaved family that they too have a warm place in the hearts of all true alliancemen with him. Resolved sth, that a copy of these resolutions be submitted to the Living Issues for publication. L, A. Ragsdale. Emigrant Rates.

GEORGIA OCTOBER 5 iBH The Dishonest Dollar. The Chicago Farmers'Voice furnishes the following evidence to prove that the gold dollar is the most “dishonest dol lar in existence:” “The most dishonest dollar that ever circulated is the barbaric gold dollar. For thousands of years it has been the silent robber of honest industry and the despoiler of the brightest civilizations that have adorned the world. It has been strangling the producer of the world’s wealth, impoverishing the masses, enriching the few and starving many. In those nations in which it is the cruel monetary despot—the sole measure of value and the only legal tender—its value practically equals the value of all other property and it has the monstrous power of confiscating all other wealth. If one man owned all the gold in the world, his insignificant possession would be equivalent in value to all the farms, and homes and prod ucts of the earth. But while one man does not possess all the gold, all of it is practically under the control of one great, absorbing, greedy and passion less banking house. The gold dollar has crowded itself into the currency of every nation, and usurped the functions of every other kind 'of money, sooner or later, in every instance, bankrupting the masses and paralying industry. What else could be expected? When the basis of business and of debts has been a larger circulating medium of one kind and another, what else could be expected than that bankruptcy and dis tress should follow the confining of legal tender money to a metal that everybody acknowledges is not plentiful enough to do the business of the world with? Whenever any man or set of men or system seeks to put it beyond the power of the debtor to pay his debt, it is an exhibition of impudent dishonesty; and that is what gold standard of value and only legal tender means. The gold dol lar is as dishonest as satan is ugly.” Insurance Earnings, Life Insurance has become one of the best methods for accumulating an im mediate estate for the protection of one’s loved ones and as a provision for one’s own old age. How unwise it is for a man to work and wait twenty years for the accumu lation of two, five or ten thousand dol lars when by this means for about the same amount an he would pay for the taxes on that much property he has an instantly accumulated fortune; and the small amount that he puts away once or twice a year for this purpose is eaning him a good rate of interest. Should his demise occur in the inte rim his family is immediately provided for even as though he had lived, worked and waited twenty years or more to accumulate this sum. There is much to recommend invest ment of this nature it being tax free, exempt from debt and insolvency, made by law and the company’s written con tract non-forfeitable after only three payments, so that in the event of his ceasing further investment the insured will receive his pro rata share. We cannot too strongly commend to our membership the wisdom of this step.
