Democratic Unity and Exertion.
At a time, now, less than a year
nence, the two great parties of our
country will meet in their respective
conventions and issue their respective
declarations of principles to the peo-
P le ‘ We were pleased to see, recent
ly, that some leading Democrats
would soon meet in Washington to
confer upon some means of bringing
the whole strength of the party to-
Kf^her upon the tariff question and
others, upon which there may be any
difference of sentiment. We can call
to mind no question but the tariff
that seriously disturbs the harmony
of the democracy. A few rather
thoughtless and passionate members
of the party may feel disposed to find
fault with President Cleveland’s poli
cy on the civil service question, but in
the sober spirit of compromise, it
seems to us that only a very few will
find a stumbling block in that. It
should be remembered that a civil
service law is on the statute book, and
the President and everybody else,
owes obedience to the laws of the
land, and, of all men In our country
[be Pretjifiriii is expected to obey
tyifc la*l xvaui the strictest scru
pulosity. liv-nhe appointment of
Cabinet officers, Foreign Ministers,
afid, indeed, u£ officers of, all kiuds,
the President has shown his true
democratic proclivities with unmis-
(Wkable spirit, so, that by’any fair
Standard of opinion he MioAld escape
all distrust and apprehension. All ob
jections founded upon his acts taken
in mass, dwindle into Insignificance
especially when we consider his scru
pulous honesty and public virtues: so
that we doubt not he will be sustain
ed by the party with a universality
not exceeded in former selections for
his high position. If character is
made an issue as it should be, the
democracy will rally universally for
President Cleveland in preference to
Sherman, who is trying to fly again
the bloody shirt, or Blaine tainted so
strong with the Mulligan letters in-
iquitv.
Taking everythihg into eonsidera
tion, especially, the disposition of
some democratic members of Congress
and publishers of a few influential
democratic papers to sustain the high
protective tariff, there never was more
necessity for the strict organization of
the demoetatic party: This is render
ed necssarv because of the apparent
equality or the voters of the two par
ties. A few hundred votes would
have changed the result at the last
election, and from a close inspection
of passing events, neither party can
confidentially hope for success. The
course pursued by democratic protec
tionists will inevitably cause the loss
of many democratic votes to the dem
ocratic candidate, not that they will
vote for the republican candidate
but will be lukewarm, and either not
vote at all or not exert themselves to
secure votes for the democratic can
didate. Just so far as Democratic
congressmen, leaders and workers
in the party may succeed in influ
encing democrats’ to believe that the
protective tariff is a good thing, just
to that extent will the party suffer in
the great contest for the victory. We
remember that a Washington corres
pondent for some paper said when a
reduction on iron was before the
House there were enough democrats
absent from their seats to have carri
ed the measure had they been present
and voted, and, finally on the tariff
reduction bill of Mr. Morrison enough
democrats voted with the republicans
to defeat it.
As the democrats, in their conven
tion, will declare for a reduction of
the high tariff, every one can see at a
glance the injury that will be done by
the declaration of the democratic high
tariff men who advocate protection.
Onv hope of success consists in tlie
changes that are going on in the pub
lic mind in the New England States
and in the great West. Protection is
weakning in the former and giving
way in the latter. While that is the
case it is increasing to some extent in
the Southern States. But anti-pro
tection will be strong enough to carry
every Southern State for the demo
cratic candidate and carry enough
votes in the North and West, added
to them, to secure the election of the
democratic candidate. Under all the
circumstances the probabilities are
favorable to Democratic success. So
that, in our opinion, Southern demo
cratic support of protection will not
be strong enough to bewitch the
democrats out of their rights. We
don’t object to free inquiry, and the
private right of opinion. Our main
regret is that democrats should fall
into the - traps set for them by their
old enemies. They may have sincere
convictions, now, but other convic
tions will be stronger in the future,
that they nullified and destroyed
themselves by following the “inarch
of ideas,” “the new light of the times
and other influences that the devil, In
politics, misled them with.
A Big Farmer on Cotton.
Col. J. M. Smith, of Oglethorpe
county, the man who makes more
bales of cotton than any other plant
er in Georgia, says: . .
“That there is no money in raising
cotton now, no matter what kind of
labor you work, that every bale of
cotton raised last year cost twice as
much as it brought. Like too many
other farmers, I am|in debt and am
obliged to have something that wlP
bring money in the fall. The fanners
in this section, one and all, are in a
deplorable condition, and no amount
of finely written articles within the
newspapers can change it.
A GOOD “OLD WAY.
It is one of the “bad signs of
the times” to see men and wo
men grow in sentiment and con
duct with the spirit of this “New
Age”—which is more distinctive
ly denominated an “Iron Age”—
an age of hard work, hard ideas,
and hard money. The man of
fifty to sixty years is disappoint
ed, when he looks about mm for
companions and pleasant associa
tions—what the knightly Chris
topher North would call “hearts
ease;” or sweet Spenser desig
nate, “the daintie lineaments of
beautie” to find all these linea
ments lost in the surging waters
of a raalestrom—an age of Dot-
and-carry-One. We do not pro-
noso an essay or a sermon today,

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, July 4,1887.
Editor Union-Rkcordkr:
Controller of the Treasury Tren-
holm in the matter of the suspension
of the Fidelity National Bank of Cin-
catastrophe is not without its lessons
and uses, as it shows the unquestion
ed superiority of our National bank
ing system over all others in the
world, for ours is being rapidly recog
nized as the model for most civilised
nations. • When, for instance, this
bank suspended, what man in the
United States stopped for a moment
to examine whether or not he had one
of its bills? realizing the fact that if
all the banks of the country were
to break in a tlay, the Government
would be fully, responsible as long ns
a United States bond is good for its
face value and most of them are
worth a great deal more.

present purpose is to ; pidk out
one of the old ways, dust it,
dress it' for the cold, critical 6ye
of the modern man or worffdn
who appropriates to his or her use
properties that do not belong to
them, and turn them to profit
in a metalic way.
When it was our good fortune
to enter the rough journey of
journalism, nearly forty years ago,
we found it a hard road to travel.
Politics were so intensely per
sonal that all the way along one
had to encounter stumps, and
rough places, and dangerous pit-
falls on either side the rugged
road—but with all these obstacles
and ugly environments, there was
honesty among the men you trav
eled with on the same road. They
would have thought it no less a
crime to steal the products of a
brother editor’s brain than to
steal liis purse.
When they borrowed his brains
they were as particular about tell
ing the readers of their own pa
pers that this and that were not
their own property, as they were
to keep their fingers away from
a forged paper. All this sensi
tiveness has disappeared, or at
least is fast disappearing. And
to-day the great majority of pro
gressive newspaper men seize,
appropriate and claim, as their
own, the brain-work of fellow-
travelers, with as little scrupulos
ity, as to the sin of the cliptoma-
nia, (so to speak,) as a train rob
ber would a lady’s watch. This
is a mortifying confession, but a
true and honest one. Would a
decent lawyer, doctor or a divine
do this thing? Not willingly, or
knowingly. We would suggest to
our press conventions an expres
sion of disapproval of this rude
warfare on personal and proprie
tary rights, and by a solemn cov
enant agree to amend the present
practice of petty literature larce
ny, and re-establish, even in this
Dot-and-carry-One age, the cus
toms and courtesies that main
tained, when Ritchie, and Gales
and Seaton, and Noah, and Gree-
ly and their contemporaries illus
trated the dignity, honest}', and
power of the Press. N.
What I Know About Farming.
It is customary for countrymen to
smile at an editor who presumes to
say anything about farming. Wliat
does he know about it? says one.—
Well, he knows the A, B. G’., about it
and no man can be a successful farm
er who doesn’t know that and prac
tice it to the letter. What is it? Go
•to bed by, or shortly after, dark ; get
out of it before, or by, daylight; and
eat breakfast by or before sunrise.
The would-be farmer who losses two
hours of sleep before midnight, and
two hours of work after sunrise, may
have some qualifications for a farmer,
but lacking this A, B, C, he will nev
er be a successful or prosperous one.
I know that; and it is more than
some farmers know who make pre
tensions to know all about it. N.
The Price County.
Atlanta, July 5.—Baldwin county
is entitled to some kind of recognition
as being the first to forward to the
Comptroller-General its tax digest for
the year 1887. The digest arrived yes
terday and in a marvel of neatness,
the work of Mr. J. H. MeComb, the
popular tax receiver. The returns
show a total of taxable property
amounting to $1,027,418, as against
$1,584,033 last year, an increase of
$93,385. The returns in 1885, were
$1,359,111.—Macon correspondent At

How sad to see that even this august

ties of temper as are ordinary people 1
The changes In the different Depart
ments incident to the beginning of the
new fiscal year were not numerous
or important. Twenty Treasury
clerks were dismissed, also seven in
the Quarter Master General’s Office
and forty employed in the Govern
ment Printing Office—most of the dis
charges being made on account of the
appropriation bill failing to provide
for tlie continuance of the incum
bents. The order consolidating rev
enue districts went into effect at the
same time and also tlie 20 per cent re
duction in salaries of Assistant Dis
trict Attorneys; there were a few mi
nor clerical changes, iu nearly all the
Departments.
Under the beneficent methods of
our honest and upright Democratic
Administration :the reduction of the
public debt continues steadily—the
amount for the morith of June being
$15,000,000 which ,1s a pretty good
showing.
Of 57 clerk* in the Quarter Master
General’s '“.'■fire, who were examined
under the new Civil Service rules, six
men and two women failed to attain
the minimum of 75 out of a possible
100. The following fact is regarded
of much significance by tlie Commis
sion. Before the examination, the
Quarter Master General had made
markings for efficiency and kept them
ft secret, for comparison with those of
the examiners and it turned out that
botli markings were substantially the
same—a result highly satisfactory to
the Commission, as it tends to dis
prove the charge of favoritism in the
ratings.
During the last fiscal year the Pen
sion Office issued 111,840, certificates,
which is said to be the best showing
ever made by the bureau. It is also
said that there is not a case in the
Pension Office that has not been ex
amined in that time and the proper
action taken to prepare it for final
settlement—a record that is exceed
ingly gratifying to the officials of that
bureau.
If a dynamite bomb had exploded
in the corridors of the Patent Office
the other day, there could not have
been much greater commotion among
the army of Republican clerks than
when it was made public, that, after
a patient investigation, the accounts
of Levi Bacon, a protege of Each
Chandler’s, who died a few days since,
after having been many years finan
cial clerk of the Patent Office—dying
in the position—were short over $33,-
000. Who can blame these Republi
can clerks for holding a eulogistic
meeting ovor the dead defaulter, for
they knew he held their due bills for
thousand of dollars unlawfully ad
vanced to them out of the public
funds? Many of the clerks will not
have any salary in three months, as
Secretary Lamar will deduct there
from their dues. The bondsmen will
have to pay the full amount for which
they are responsible, $10,000, yet it is
thought there will be a considerable
shortage after the clerks are made to
refund, as most of the sum is in pa
per on Bacon's outside friends. It
appears that his accounts have been
crooked eight years. The Democrats
can afford to raise a gTeat deal of such
unsavory “Bacon out of office.”
“Turn the rascals out.” In the words
of the noble lamented Hendricks,
“Open the books.” Mr. John L. Nor
ris, of this city, one of Bacon’s bonds
men, now expresses his emphatic con
viction, to use the language of the
great and honored Tilden, that “Re
form is necessary,” and says he be
lieves that.' the accounts of other dis
bursing officers of the Government,
will, if fully investigated, be found in
as bad a condition as those of the es
teemed Republican Bacon.
A statement prepared by the Treas
ury Department shows that in the
month of June, there was an increase
of $2,004,840, in the circulation and a
decrease of $3,152,981 of the cash in
the Treasury. The principal increase
in circulation was in silver certificates
and United States notes and the prin
cipal decrease in the Treasury cash
was in gold and silver certificates,
United States notes and national bank
note*.

Jacob Haas, of Atlanta, received a
letter from Germany addressed 347
Whitehall street. Having at one time
resided on Whitehall street, and not
thinking that he had a namesake in
the city, he opened the letter and
found it was intended for some one
else by that name. Tha writer ad
dresses tlie person as “My son,” and
by ft strange coincident signs himself
Jacob Haas. It was equally strange
that the letter was postmarked at
Obrigheim, Bavaria, a town situated
only about fifteen miles from where
Mr. Jacob Haas was born. Mr. Haas
is quite anxious to turn the letter over
to his namesake.
There used to be In Milledgevllle, a

Some people don’t care any
thing at all about the old Confed
erate flags. We’d cheerfully give
a month’s living for tlie battle-
scarred flag of the old 6 th Geor
gia Regiment. What memoriea
the sight of its tattered folds
would invoke! Those who did
not follow the Confederate flag
when it floated over heroes, can
not be expected to honor it now
when covered with the dust and
humiliation of defeat.
The Sparta Ishmaelite says this,
and we warmly sympathize with
its sentiments. Our view is that
either side should have their lost
flags, if they want them. If this
view is denied, the profession of
restored friendly feeling beween
the sections is a mere sham.

Sometimes he gets tired of reading
and looks at us as though he yearned
to converse. At such times we are
always taciturn and reserved. We
know then that he is aching to tell us
about his indigestion and what he is

Men who sit around all winter and

tell industrious people alt about it.
This man will come up here some

groan, and a gurgle or two, and then
the soiled hands will bo still. The

and the overworked jaws will be at
rest. He will drop out of our lives
like the memory of a minstrel show.
