We thought when wo began these articles, we would present the sub ject in a systematic form under dis tinct heads, but we believe that the cheapest mental form, for conveying useful Information on the subject, to the great masses of the people, will be to present Isolated features, taken at random, from separate and distinct features of the subjeot. We have thought the matter over and conclu ded that this Is the best way to un fold and expose the tariff juggle. The reader must bear in mind all the time, that the jugglers insist that protection Is fair for the manufactur ers, for the government, and for all classes of the people. Let us see if it is fair for the government. In 1880, (we copy from authentic reports) the census year showed that tne values, of the cotton goods manufactured in the United States in that year was $210,050,883. In 1878 the sum imported, that is the sum paid by the British and other foreigners for the privilege of selling th% &qods in the {ITJiifcaT States, was about sevetyt SnllliqnJMr Aolle rs. Yet the ratio, in ravor ortne manufactur ers, was six dollarefffAf the govern ment one doHar.-~~ m?— ■ In 1880, the domestic woollen man ufactures was $368,8%RJMR Imported Woollens averaged WH§ or fat,-, of 65 per cent. The revenue, obtained' by the government for that year on woollens, amounted to $18,000,000. For each dollar obtained by the gov ernment on these woollens, the man ufacturers, of the United States, ob tained $4. On steel rails, in 1880, the government collected only $1,478,668, while the manufacturers of such rails, in this conntry, received a tribute of $20,000,000. This was caused by the high tariff upon foreign steel rails of 83 per cent. This was a tribute of thirteen dollars for the steel rail man ufacturers, of this country, to one dollar for the government. The total value of manufactures in 1880, in the United States, was $5,369,- 579,196. This is not our statement. It is the statement of the oenanB of 1880. It would not be unreasonable to say that of this immense sum the consumers bought ilvetbtjUions of dol lars wWrth of tne goods represented. The tariff average, of that year, was about 44 per cent. Let us suppose that the average height of t tbe tariff was not really 44 per cept. What will the advocate of protection say was the average per cent? Will they say 35? Will they say 80? We will eomotyMuise with them, against truth and justice, amV^vs sayfor 11- lusttation, that it was 85. Well if they will agree to come down to 25, they will see that this goes to some thing over $1,000,000,000—one billion of dollars. If they are staggered at this 25 per cent, why <lo they demand 44 per cent? It is to he wondered at, that they are frightened at 25 per cent., which gives them $1,000,200,000 one billion two hundred thousand dollars protection. The protectionist startled at tho # immensity of the figures at 25 per 'cent. Then what will he do? W hen the moderate tariff men propose to reduce the high pro tective figures, why do the protec tionists object? We ask why? when they know, or 6lioukl know, that a tariff which averages 25 per cent, cre ates a cost of one billion two hundred thousand millions, which does not go into the United States Treasury, hut absolutely imposes a tax upon the people of $20 a year for every man, woman autl child in the United States. The shrewd protective tariff leaders know this to bo true. ‘Indeed the tax exceeds that sum. We are ready to admit that the tax does not reach the full sum of 44 per cent up on the whole amount of the goods upon which it is imposed. The man ufacturers are two shrewd to permit that. They know that their whole scheme would be so immensely bur densome were they to add the 44 per cent to the price of their goods that they cunningly adopt a smaller per oent to prevent a universal abhor rence of their scheming and detrac tive cupidity. In this cunning arrangement, the manufacturers whether of cotton or woollen goods, silks, carpets, or iron material in any of its forms, whether of glass, starch, tobacco, hats, or other articles, the makers of chemi cals, drugs, perfumeries, mineral and vegetable oils, paints and colors, salt in bulk, varnishes, pipes, fire-crackers and other articles, while, in adding greatly to theif prices, take care not to go the whole length lest the indig nation of the people would he aroused to such an extent as to overthrow their crafty cupidity. It seems to us, that, if high taxes should be imposed at all, it should be upon luxuries and not necessities, but the tariff in many things reverses tms considerate rule. Rice Jis taxed from. 105 to 114 per cent.; chemicals and drugs from 105 to 114; calicoes 53; spool thread 73 to 77; pipes 75 to 88; glass 58, 80, 123; iron 61, 88, 91; steel rails 83; mineral oils G7, 99; vegetable oils 56, 91, 150; paints and colors 09, 203; salt in hulk, 73; starch 55, 128; mo lasses and sugar 52, 73, 98; tobacco manufactured, 89, 119, 227; umbrellas 50; varnish 07; carpets 08, 105; blank ets 72, 91, 107; flannels 74; print goods 57, 93; wool hats 57.

It is a wide spread instance of the cross- grains of life which ought to have been avoided, and exist through folly and stupidity. The troubles, In Chi cago, is a memorable instance of the folly of labor associations interfer ing with the plain and simple arrange ments between capitalists and labor ers. It would seem as it society is thrown into convulsions by foolish and hair-brained intermedlers, who for some selfish purposes Rre con stantly engaged in trying to disturb the peaceful arrangements existing between capital and labor. The prosperity of the country depends upon peaceful and satisfactory ar- rmagements between men who have money devoted to useful enterprises, and men whp are employed to give success to those enterprises by their labor. . Anarchists, socialists and iu- termedlers are constantly engaged in trying to disturb the peaceful ar rangements of these monied wen and laborers! It is capital and labor that gives prosperity to acognfr'y; with out both no country can be prosper ous. It takes both to build railroads, Construct manufacturing establish ments, give value to the sol), and do every thing to reward the rich, give prosperity to laborers, and millions of people engaged in all the useful occupations of life. Our country a- bounds in every thing to give pros perity to our people, and make them the master of their own destiny un der free government and wise laws. But all this splendid heritage is mar red by such characters as we have re ferred to, who are constantly engaged in sowing seeds of discord between cap- tal and labor and organizing a social hell, through ignorance and selfish ness in part, mingled with devilish principles which threaten the peace of society ami even the existence of the Union. We do not doubt tha,t there are even many in our country who are unfavorable to political freedom, such as we enjoy, and desire a change that would enable them to supplant class who are now evidently seeking to substitute the rule of socialism for the wise and constitutional methbdB of our former and present constitu tional methods of our former and pres ent prudent and popular councillers. The strikes, so often and constantly occurring, attended, in some cases even with the shedding of blood, indicate changes . eroinsf n» tnav he con tempLateu with dread by tne“wlse anu the good. The latter, in the concious- ness of freedom and independence, may rely too much upon the hope, yeti the belief, that no ultimate dan ger does, or can exist, but let it be remembered that the leaders and ac tive partisans of the thoughtless and unenlightened, may be led to imagine greater good and more prosperous destinies under promisesof the division of property and possession, that will be given under the pretence of rights withheld by the accumulation of rich es in the hands of the unscrupulous few. Already they are taught that a division of lands should be made in their favor, and thousands are becom ing converts to Mr. George’s theory. He openly and earnestly teaches that the lands of the rich should be confis cated, divided into small lots and given to the poor who have no land. Such were the crowds who adopted his agrarian sentiments, that he con sented to be their candidate for May-1 or of New York, at the last election, I with the hope of success at the polls; and the people who opposed his agra- j rian principles were so excited, and ! even frightened, that they appealed j to Mr. Hewitt, who was a very popu- | lar representative in Congress from New York City, to become a candi date for Mayor to defeat him. Mr. Hewitt was successful, but Mr. George received a large vote exceed ing fifty thousand. We see in this how easily large masses of the people may be led astray from honesty and duty by appeals to their cupidity in violation of personal rights. It would seem that so flagrant a departure from constitutional and personal rights, as to seize and confiscate land ed property and divide it out among those wh9 had no shadow of right to it ought to’find no supporters among the people. This shows the exceed ing danger to which our country is subjected by the new fangled schemes of leaders, who, if they have any ideas at all of constitutional law, utterly disregard it and are ready to trample it down as a political chimera unworthy of their obedience. It is folly to suppose that these troubles are merely deceitful gleams, tempo rary turbulent speculations of a few which can be easily* swppt away by the patriotic sentiment or the many. Revolutionary armies have overrun nations of the earth for want of timely foresight. We are safe yet, but it will require potent and enlightened management to guide our country’s fortunes safely on against the inso lence and audacity of unbridled forces led by daring an unprincipled con spirators, who castoff thetrainmelsof old constitutional rights and doctrines, while imposing upon the people de grading dogmas of violence and ter ror. KINTUCKY DEMOCRATS. Perh'afis ther>■ is no state in the South in which the democrats adhere more closelvi'to the time-honored prin ciples of the Democratic party, than Kentucky. The late convention was held in Louisville, on the 4tli instant, to nominate a ticket for State officers. It heartfiv endorsed the Administra tion of Resident Cleveland. A reso lution to that effect was offered by Hon. James McKenzie, who was hear tily cheered during his remarks. The ■latform Was written and drawn up ny Hon. Jnn, G. Carlisle, anil Hon. Henry Wattergon. It complimented President Cleveland for the fidelity and courage with which he has pro tected the Treasury from pillage by the exercise of the veto power, and denounced the life tenure civil pen sion list, and all other appendages of thq bureaucratic system foreign to our institutions and people, declared honast money of the constitution, good enough for the people as ex pressed in gold and silver, and paper convertible into coin on demand, and opposed to all sumptuary laws. We contend that there are, already, on our statute books, sufficient general laws having local application to pro tect publlo morals without infriraring OQ private rights. We- view with tM mowing tendency to ,en- pojrars granted, and multiply W, > tot delegatfed and contend, 411 powers, not delegated to the States, are reserved to the respectively, or to the people. An expression was made of earnest sympathy with the people of Ireland in their struggle for local self-govern ment and a denunciation of the present coercive measure now pend ing in the British Parliament as a monstrous crime against a brave, generous ami long suffering people, as an obstruction to human freedom, ab horrent to the spirit of liberty in ev ery land. With this brief abridge ment of the platform in part, we con clude, as we find it, the concluding portion of the platform as follows: “We dehounce the present war tar iff, said to confuse, as well as to liar- rate the people, as a master piece of Injustice, inequality and false pre tence. It has been maintained by the Belfish and false theory of protection, which TObs many to enrich the few. It has piled Up in the National Treasury sur plus which menaces the property of all classes and every industry. We demand the immediate reduction of thiB war tariff, not merely as an act of redress to ;he people promised by all parties, bn as the only safe and just method > • slewing the surplus; and. 4 18 ■ * e in MjFh vcuiictic,n. we demand runner that the taxes sliau arm, uc Hi abolished, or lowered npon the neces sities of life, and finally we reassert the constitutional and Democratic doctrine that taxes should be levied exclusively for public purposes and limited to the requirements of the gov ernment economically administered.” FOR GOVERNOR. General Buckner lias been nomina ted by acclamation for Governor by the Democratic Convention. ATHENS BRIEFED. We copy tlie following from the Atlanta Constitution of May the 10th. ft is very complimentary to some* of the young Athenians and to our State at large, anil wo publish it as an in centive to others tqfollow their bright examples: “Athens, May 15th.—[Special.]— The classic city, as Athens is so fre quently called, has a good record at tne government aoademies at West Point and Annapolis. Indeed I know of no place In the country whose rep resentatives have better Illustrated the intelligence and standing of their communities than the young men who have gone forth from this staid old town, to become accomplished sol diers and skillful sailors. And there is a strange fact connected with our representatives at these two schools, strange because it is seldom seen—two or three families have furnished the boys who represent the city. A short account of these young fellows will prove interesting. The first to go af ter the war was Alhin Hodgson, one of the numerous Hodgsons who have contributed so much of the bone and sinew of this town. At the timeHodg- soh received his appointment, be was a student in the university here. He was a student, for he stood, first in a olass noted 'for bright minds and stu dious habits. A fellow of splendid physique, of excellent attainments, be easily passed his examination, en tered the academy at Annapdlts, and after four years of hard study and work, was graduated with the liigh- of the Among cur Exchanges. The Gate City Gads still have the floor and continue to sensate. The latest is a movement upon the part of wrongs it inflicts | gome of the members to request the Captain to resign.—Albany News. The Drummers had a good time in Macon and an interesting and profit able meeting. The Covington and Macon road will reach its depot at Athens through a tunnel 1,155 feet long, to excavate which will cost $30,000, as it will bt through solid rock. Mr. James R. Magill says lie uses sweet milk and molasses for colic in horses and it works well. One pint anil a half of sweet milk and a half pint of molasses, mixed thoroughly, used as a drench for the sick horse, will give relief. Editor O’Brien, of Dublin, Ireland, in his speaking tour in Canada, at several places was surrounded by mobs and pelted with brickbats anil rocks. The mob cried, “God save the Queen,” “Down with home rule” and “Hang the traitor.” A colored boy about 11 years old living in Terrell county, is a physical monstrosity. He has but two toes to each foot, which branch out at the instep, are about 5 inches long, curv ed like crawfish claws, and coming nearly together at the points. The boy is healthy and sensible, and does average work in the field. It doesn’t appear from the tax di gest of Atlanta that prohibition nor anything else has hurt Georgia’s capi tal city much during the last yeart From the Constitution wfe learn' that there is an increase of nearly.two mil lions in the value of real estate alone, while the indications are that the in crease iu the value of personalty will amount to another million. Last year the real estate amounted tp $23,880,544, and the personalty to $7,785,000.-Albany News. “Mamma,” said a Seventh-street mer chant’s little boy the other night to his mother, “what will God do to me i if I am not good?” ! “He will punish you, Bobbie, and ] make you very, very sorry for having done wrong,” replied the mother. ' “But if I kept on doing wrong, mamma, then what?” “He will punish you more severely than before.” “Mamma, do you think He would boycott me after while?” Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiai to itself and superior to all other prepar ations in strength, economy and me dicinal merit. est honors ever given a pupil naval training school. Young Hodgson was a southern hoy to the core, and his ideas, In re gard to thee quality of the races from a social point of view were extremely orthodox, according to the standard in vogue in Athens. When the colored citizens began to invade the sacred precincts of the school they went prepared to claim and take all the liberties the law al lowed, and one of the liberties that commended itself to the attention of the first colored cadet was to call his fellow eadots by their names, Irrespec tive of the prefix “Mister,” or some other token of respeot. One day he addressed the promising young cadet from Athens as “Hodgson,” the colored brother was never very positive as to what struck him, but lie was.satisfied he was hit, and he was also prepared to testify that Hodgson had a hand in it. Ths result was Hodgson was placed in confinement and severely E unished, hut the records show that e managed to graduate with remark ably high honors, and the testimony of nis fellows is strong on the point that he was ever after addressed as taYnm®^?e” graduation, young Hodgson was made an instructor in the school, a position he filled most acceptably. He lias steadily risen in rank, and when last heard from was an ensign with good prospects of becoming some thing better before long. A short time after this splendid re cord was made at the Naval Academy- two other boys from Athens were rep resenting the city in a most creditable manner, at West Point. Fred Hodg son, a brother of the naval oilicer, took a most excellent stand at the Point, graduated with the regulation rank, lias since seen active duty in the west, and lately has been assigned’ to the work of teaching military tac tics to the boys who draw their learn ing and culture from the North Geor gia branch college at Dahlonega. The other Athens boy, at the Point was Dewitt Willcox. He at an early- age graduated with first honor at the University. The eonfjietitive examin ation took place at'Gainesville, and of course, young Willcox, with his splen did college training, easily passed. But he didn’t. The examination was not regarded, and the appointment was given el young man on account of some political arrangements. But the fellow could not make the trip, and despite his best efforts the exami nations got the best of hlru, and to save the district from absolute defeat young Willcox was sent for. Of course he got in without the least trouble, and his record at the Point was splen did. His class was a large one, and some of the brightest young fellows m the Union were his mates, but his wit was as bright and keen as theirs and he was graduated third. Now he revels in all the luxury and ease of fashionable garison life at St? Augus tine, and is as skilled a German lead er as he was a student and scholar. Robb. L. Russell succeeded Albiii Hodgson -at Annapolis. Russell is from Athens, and is a brothel of Hon. R. B. Russell, the member of the leg islature from this county. Russell was a University student when he got the appointment from Hon. Emo ry Speer. Hepnssedthe 1 preliminary examination and entered the Acade my, graduating a year or more ago with honor and credit. He Is now off the Asiatic station with his Vestel on a long cruise, and spends his leisure moments writing descriptive letters of the lands and places he visits for a weekly paper in the State. Edward Russell, a younger brother of the naval cadet, stood the examin ation for the Annapolis appointment a few days ago, and will be nominated by Congressman Carlton for the place. The examination was competitive. He is also a University student, and is said to be a bright and promising young fellow, who will endeavor to beat his brother's good record at the navivl school. It will thus be seen that’Athens lias had splendid expo nents at thje j wo schools, and has been exceptibnally well represented. Washington Letter, From Oitr Regular Correspondent. Washington, May 23, 1887. Editor Union-Rkcordkii: To-day more than a thousand tents whiten the greensward that stretches around the Washington Monument. The troops are now all here who in tended to participate In the National Drill, and they represent Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Colorado, Da kota, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mary land, Massachusetts, Michigan, Min nesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Tennessee, Vir ginia, Washington Territory and the District of Columbia. The Drill opened tin's morning, but the day was consumed by some for malities such ns nnmlng t lie camp, ig- suiug orders, receiving the le.ti^t ar rivals of troops, etc., and tills even ing there was a dress parade hy ail of the organizations encamped, But tlie competitive drill begins tomor row. The soldiers here repret$ttt tke flower of the National Gauird dFtbeir States, and many of the commands are noted for their excellent dfsclpfine and won trophies in State and ftrfSr- state drills. Such a camp bos not been seen iu this conntry elnoe the veterans of’ th4 civil war broke their cainp in ’65. Now the soldiers of the North, South, East and West assemble in one camp and contend in friendly strife for the trophies of the peaceful drill ground. The week will be exceedingly lively in Washington. It will he filled with events, brilliant street pageants, at tractive drills, reviews nnd street pa rades. Washington can boast in superla tive language of many things, ft has the largest public buildings, the most beautiful streets, the widest and the smoothest pavements, the finest pub lic grounds, the greatest number of shade trees and fountains anil statues, the highest monument, and many other things the most wonderful nnd best and “biggest” of their kind, nnd now it adds to the list the largest competitive drill. Up to this time the greatest gathering of the kind was at “Camp R. C. Drum,” in Mobile, two years ago, but the National Drill ex ceeds that more than three fold in the number of military bodies that will take part. The good people of Washington are rejoicing that the order permitting the sale of intoxicating liquors on the drill ground has been revoked. The bar priyt’ wold, drinl fresh merit counter'under the grand 1 stand this week. The revocation of the privilege has been attributed to the influence of the President through tlie efforts of some ladies of W. T. C. U., who called upon him to interfere, and also to a suggestion from the Commissioner of public grounds, to the effeefrthat the War Department, (to which the drill ground belongs) would be gratified if the committee would exclude intoxicating liquors. But from whatever source the influ ence may have come, most, people wcrS pleased with final decision and action of the National Drill Commit tee. After the close of the Drill the President will take a vacation of about ten days, accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland, Colonel Lnmont and lii.- family. They will go to Saranac Lake, New York, where the fishing is said to be good ut this season, it is said they will go on tlie second of June, which is tne anniversary of the President's marriage. Doubtless lie feels the need of rest, and the event could not, probably, be celebrated in a way more agreeable to him. The financial situation has been de manding a great ileal of the Presi dent’s time and attention of late, as, indeed, it is the most important ques tion now before him. On last Wed nesday night the Secretary ’ of the Treasury remained at the White House until two o’clock in tlie morn ing, talking over the matter with him. He is being urged by the advocates of tariff reduction to call an extra session of Congress early in the fall for the purpose of considering reven ue measures. But Secretary Fair- child is so safe and conservative a manager that theTe can be uy real cause of alarm concerning the strin gency of the money market, whether Congress is Bpecially.convened or not. BesfiieH the Secretary’s powers are sufficient, under existing law's to en able him to ward off any threatening danger. In the. worst, contingency that can pb jmagtped.be is at libefty to step iqto the opeh’market and buy bonds fof Government account. "Orer and Over Again-” Repetition is sometimes the only way to impress a truth up.on tlie mind. Accordingly take notice that l)r. Pierce’s “Pleasant Purgative Pellets,” (the original Little Liver Pills) continue to be wonderfully ef fective in cases of sick anil nervous headache, constipation, indigestion, rush of blood to the head, cold ex tremities, and all ailments arising from obstruction of the bodily func tions. Their action is thorough, yet gentle, and the ingredients being en tirely vegetable, they can be taken with impunity into the most delicate stomach. All druggists.
