Suggestions on the Tai’iff Question.
Our Southern Protectionists are
constantly boasting of Southern pro
gress in manufactures of all kinds,
cotton, iron and other productions.
Are we not all interested and delight
ed in this progress? We have taught
it for over thirty years and urge its
continuance. One great objection we
have to the protective policy is the
obstacles it throws in the path of
Southern progress. It neutralizes our
advantages of climate, increases the
price of machinery, and everything
else we need, to sustain our manufac
turing enterprises. In advocating
the present protective tariff our
Southern protectionists are fighting
for the North and against the South.'
Can’t Southern protectionists see it?
Let us reason together for a moment
or two, and let us look at the highest
authority for our facts and see what
the census has revealed. We wish to
be short and consume but little space
and time, We will take two represen
tative States, New- York and Georgia.
New York has nearly, if not quite
fortv-flve thousand manufacturing es
tablishments with a capital of over
#500,000,000. The census of 1880 show
ed that there were about 30 cotton
factories in Georgia. They have
probably increased to 55 or 00 since.
We write hastily and from memory.
In all the Southern States we may
safely say there are not more than 275
oi 300. Add all the Northern estab
lishments together and see what a
small chance we have, compared with
them, in the race under protection.
We are told that protection will build
up our factories. It will all the
time be hampering and checking us
in such industries. Why, look at
these mighty establishments at the
NoVth entrenched in a capital of very
nearly three billions of dollars. Can’t
anybody see the absurdity of the idea
that we can break down or rival those
giant establishments, especially when
the protective tariff* puts upon the
people of the South, annually, a tax
greater than the entire sum obtained
for their cotton. We revenue tariff
men do not wish to break them down.
We would not do it if we could. We
desire the prosperity of every section
and take pride in the great and grow
ing interests of all. Those powerful
establishments don’t need the chari
ties of the struggling people of this
country. Did they not prosper, as
well as all other interests, under the
low tariffs from Mr. Polk’s time to the
accession of Mr. Lincoln to the Presi
dency, when the tariff duties averaged
only 18 per cent? They now average
over 45 per cent. Let us look at the
early tariffs for a moment when they
needed aid if ever. The first tariff
act passed July 4, 1789, was from 5 to
15 percent.; the 2nd passed lOt.h of
August 1790, was from 3 to 154 per
cent. The next general tariff of 1792,
was from 7£ to 15 per cent; that of
1794 was from 10 to 20 per cent. We
might add more specific acts, but only
state that for the first 15 years they
did not go higher than 224 per cent
and for the first 22 years did not ex
ceed that sum.
The point we make is this, that the
Northern manufactories grew and
sustained themselves during all that
time, when England exerted all her
power to break them down. We
could showjhe acts of her Parliament
to prove tliis assertion but no one
will deny it. That ' was when the
American manufactories were in truth
infant establishments. And now,
when they are giants, the government
is called upon to keep up a protec
tion for tiie suckling manufactories
of the country, hacked by three bil
lions of dollars, to the extent of more
than 45 per cent.
Shame upon such full grown mam
moth beggary and robbery. Tiie
great manufacturers of the country
gave up their splendid commercial
marine, their hundreds of ships and
sixty thousand sailors, with which
they could have continued to com
pete with England for the billions of
her annual commerce, to filch by law,
the pockets of the people at home.
Oh shame! where is tby blush?
A Good Suggestion.
The Augusta Gazette makes an im
portant suggestion to the tax payers
of Georgia, which, if generally adopt
ed, throughout the State next fall,
will have the effect to remedy a great
curse now bearing heavily on their
shoulders. It is tliis; At nominating
conventions in the several counties,
that the people be sure to put out no
man for either branch of the Legisla
ture who can afford to stay in Atlan
ta, away from his business at home,
four or five months at the public ex
pense. This means, send only men to
the legislature who are known at
home as men who have something
else to do besides loafing in Atlanta,
lolling in easy chairs and eating good
victuals at four dollars a day, for five
months in the year.
(Jur State Fairs and Expositions
ought to he held iu the month of
November. The record of past years
sliowB that that month is the freest
from rain and storms of any in the
(all and winter. Tiie beautiful Indian
! Summer comes in that mouth and
usually lasts two or three weeks.
i The Piedmont Exposition cleared
! $10,000, after paying $150,000 for the
' grounds, building, etc. Atlanta people
j are already talking of a World g Fair

The Coming Newspaper.
When the South was politically di
vided by two great parties, Whig and
Democratic, the massos looked to tiie
leading organs of the press at the
seat of government of their respec
tive States for counsel and polities
both of principle and organization.
Then a column leader, or even one
much longer, in such papers as those
of father Ritchie and Gales and Sea
ton at Washington were read as at
tentively and sacredly as the deacon
in the church reads Ins Sunday morn
ing’s chapter in the Bible, from be
ginning to end, and often with
more lasting impression. The South
lias hut one party now, and long po
litical leaders in the press are read
by few, if any of the masses who do
the voting at the polls. The ever
alert newspaper organs recognized
this change, and set about to meet
it. Then began immense double and
triple sheets, and a reduction in price
so striking ns to captivate the aver
age subscriber, who jumped at a
chance to get a paper three times as
big for the same money he had been
paying ulj Ids life-for the one publish
ed at his county site. He thought lie
was making a sharp trade when he
stopped taking-ids home paper, which
he always read from end to end, (and
then was hungry for more) and sent
off to some city, North or South, for
a big paper to get something cheap
and with more reading matter than
his home paper contained. Well, he
S ot the big paper, and is not happy.
le hasn’t got time, he says, to read
it, and if tie had, the type is so little
it hurts Ids eyes, and what he does
find to read is not what lie under
stands or cares for. He don’t see in
it anything about home affairs, and
his neighbors, and finds himself, when
lie comes to the county town, so ig
norant ol' what is going on right un
der Ids nose, he is ashamed of himself,
quits the big weekly away off yonder,
subscribes forliis county paper, which
is only fifty cents a year more, reads
it, and his wife arid-children read it,
and get as mad as a wet lien if any
body takes it out of the office and
reads it before they do, and he swears,
if Godwin only forgive him, lie will
never stop Ids home paper uguin
while he lives. That is just the way
of it.
But what the man wants now to
read in his paper, is the news. He
wants a paper with hundreds of
short paragraphs, disconnected, well
selected, on live subjects, so that he
can pick it up at odd times, read here
and there and lay it down without
having to make a mark at the line
where he stopped reading. That’s
what he wants.
The big papers are now trying, be
sides the double sheets, to attract the
eye of readers with pictures of nota
ble people, which are about as cor
rect likenesses of the original as if
pine knots had been used to print
their faces instead of wood and lead
cuts. These features of the present
newspaper are fatiguing the patience
of readers, and they are sick of them.
Immense so-called “Trade Journals”
are got out to attract advertisers,
wlio are foolish enough to bite at
such bait. Not one man, woman, or
child, outside of a city, ever reads ad
vertisements in a “Trade Journal”
and the only use they are put to in
the country is to make bustles, kindle
fires, and clean lamp chimneys.
What tiie people—the country and
town readers want—and will have,
is the newspaper that contains home
and (State anil National news boiled
down to the smallest possible space,
and plenty of it. They don’t want
an immense blanket sheet, or two or
three sheets pasted together, or loose
and hard to handle, but an averuge
sized sheet filled with the latest home
and foreign news, put together in
such a shape and so arranged that
they can turn right to the very page
and column to find what they want.
That’s what they want and they
mean to have it, too.
STATE INEBRIATE ASYLUM.
Views of the Projector of the Move-
• ment.
Hon. P. G. Veazey, the represen
tative from Taliaferro county, intro
duced a resolution in the house of
representation to appoint a coinmis-
son to consider tiie utility and feasibil
ity of establishing in this state an
asylum for inebriates, which was
adopted.
Meeting Mr. Veazey, a representa
tlve of Tiie Constitution asked him as
to the purposes and plans of the com
mission. Mr. Veazey explained that
believing that there was need of such
an institution he offered the resolu
tion in order that the question might
be fully discussed, and some plan
adopted to care for and cure those
addicted to alcoholic stimulants and
opiates. In many cases the drink
habit is a disease and requires careful
treatment to secure a cure. ‘‘In
fruining the commission” remarked Mr
Veuzey, “1 endeavored to select men
of scientific attainments and liberal
and progressive views. Dr. Joseph P.
Logan, of Atlanta, is regarded as a
profound thinker. Dr. Eugene Fos
ter, of Augusta, is a physician of rare
learning and ability. Dr. T. O.
Powell, of Milledgeville, superintend
ent of the lunatic asylum, is conceded
to he tiie ablest anil best superintend
ent in this country, and his enlarged
experience will materially aid the
commission. Dr. J. T. DeJarnette,
of Putnam, is an experienced physi
cian, a prudent legislator, and a man
* of culture. Dr. Seth N. Jordan, of
Columbus, is a young physician of
eminence and skill. Walter B. Hill is
one of tiie ablest members of tiie Ma
con bar. Rev. J. G. UibHoti, of Ogle-
thorp county, is a Baptist divine,
known ns tile Spurgeon of Georgia.
Colonel J. H. Estill, of Savannah,
whose name is as familiar as household
words or Morning News. Hon. How
ell Cobb of Athens, Hon. H. W. J.
Ham of Guinseville, and Hon. Harper
Mack of Americus, Hon. R. N. Lamar
of Milledgeville, are all well known
men.”
“How about the feasibility of the
asylum?” inquired the Constitution
man.
“Well,” replied Mr. Veazey, “1
hardly know how to answer it just
now, the commission is raised to set
tle that. But it is t bought that the
old executive mansion at Milledgeville
can he utilized for this purpose, and
placed under the charge of Dr. T. O.
Powell, as a branch of the lunatic
asylum. This will make the establish
ment of the inebriate asylum com
paratively an inexpensive experi
ment.
“When will the commission organ
ize?”
“I.can’t say,’’said Mr. Veazey, “but
I hear the name of Dr. Logan suggest
ed for chairman, and Dr. Eugene Fos
ter for secretary. I suppose they will
organize soon, and submit the result
of their actions to the governor next
fall.’’—Atlanta Constitution.
Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Oct. 24, 1887.
Editors Union-Rkcordkii: '
The number of Interesting oases befor e
the Supreme Court of the United States
probably has not been so large for years as
at the present timo. Among the number
1 may mention the cases of the Virginia
State officials, who have been released un
der writs of habeas corpus—the trial being
set for healing on the first Monday In No
vember; the appeal of the Chicago anarch
ists, whose counsel, Generuls Roger A.
Pryor and Benjamin F. Butler, have ap
plied for a writ of supercedas—to be heard
next Thursday. Besides those, there are a
number of prohibition cases,—all of which,
the first named Included, involve constitu
tional questions of the gravest import to
the legal rights of the citizens. Hence
their Importance and the general Interest
that attaches to them.
Civil Service Is again to the front, both
in the departments, where the examina
tion of the clocks has been resumed, and
In the public prints, where the diverging
views of Civil Service Commissioners
Oberly and Edgerton furnish current top
ics of editorial comment and private dis
cussion. Mr. EdgerUiu boldly Dikes Issuo
with Ills colleague on the position taken
by him In regard to the alleged Illegality
of Government employes being active mem
bers of political associations, and asserts
his belief that there Is no good foundation
either In law or in reason for such a con
clusion.
Secretary Bnynrd authorizes a denial of
the reported difference between Attorney
General Garland and himself, over the
question of the Alaskan seal fisheries.
Some Washington newspapers and corres
pondents, In their zeal to furnish sensa
tional news, have even gravely atated that
Secretary Bayard would surely resign if
the President did not endorse his views.
During the past week there was a con
vention of Agricultural Scientists, repre
senting all of the agricultural colleges and
experimental stations in the United States.
This meeting was provided for by a special
act of Congress, with the view of fostering
progressive methods and measures of
farming and Increasing the producing ca
pacity of the land in cultivation. The pro
ceedings of the convention were very harm
onious and satisfactory, and Its delibera
tions will doubtless result in great and
lasting good to the agricultural Interest of
the country.
The State Department has announced
the ratllcatlon of the extradition treaty
with Guatemala, which was sent to the
Senate many years ago, during Grant's
Presidency, thelastelauso being as follows:
“Neither Government shall be requited to
give up Its own citizens under the stipula
tions of tills convention.” This treaty Is
significant a* showing a return to the old
Democratic doctrines of firmly dealing
with foreign nations.
The fact that Postmaster General Vilas
was the only member of the President’s
Cabinet who accompanied him on his late
tour is considered of great political signifi
cance In some quarters, as it is thro light to
foreshadow a Vice-Presidential candidacy,
on tiie part of the gentleman mimed.
There are those who believe that Mr. Vilas
has more ambitious designs, that his real
purpose Is to place himself in tralnlug
with the view of succeeding his present
chief in 1892.
The Capitol has been overhauled and
renovated, preparatory to the meeting fit
the national anions. Among the Improve
ment" are elsgant new carpets, and new
covering for the desks.
The candidates for the various offices In
the gift ol the House are making an unu
sually vigorous canvass. While there U no
possible way of forecasting the result, I
should not lie ut all surprised to see several
changes In the House officials. Nobody Is
safe except Ex-Speaker Carlisle.
After their great tour, covering .4,500
miles, and crossing seventeen states, ev
erywhere being overwhelmed with grand
popular ovations, President and Mrs.
Cleveland returned to the Capital with as
little ceremony or ostentation as if the dis
tinguished travelers wero the humblest
private citizens—truly a happy and im
pressive illustration of the genius and spir
it of our republican system of government.
The President and his wife wero delighted
with their varied and pleasing experiences
of tho past three weeks, and both of them
resume their duties, brightened and re
freshed by their association with tho great
American public.
Last Thursday was ft notable day
in the history of Richmond, Va. The
corner stone of the monument to be
erected iu that city to the memory of
Gen. Robert E. Lee, was laid with ap
propriate ceremonies, and there was a
vast crowd in attendance on the mem
orable occasion.

Byron wrote Don Juan with gin
and water close by his . manuscript,
and Blackstone composed his Cqm-
mentaries with the inkstand on one
side of his paper and a bottle of old
Port on the other. But this is no ar
gument to prove that Georgia genius
can't thrive in prohibition counties;
and this, too, in spite of the Jugernaut
car.
Chunking a fellow when he is down,
and in the ditch, is mighty mean.

See you a man full of humor—not
that sort of a fellow who thinks noth
ing is funnier than to frighten his sis
ter by pointing a gun at her and see
her fall over a chair and dislooate her
bustle and back hair, or laugh till he
cries when the clown in the circug
falls on the saw dust, humps hiinsfelf,
and grabs his belly with painful emo
tion—but a man who laughs way
down in his heart, the smile appearing
like the flicker of a sunbeam on the
surface, hiding the depth of a peren
nial well, as he reuds something Cer
vantes, Sydney Smith, Christopher
North, Tom Hood, or our own in
comparable Washington Irving has
written—when you see such a man in
your pilgrimage by the way, if relig
ion, love, honor, self-devotion dnd all
the charities of the soul don’t abide in
his bosom, lie is a curiosity that
would enrich Harnum’s Museum,

The most successful way to attack a
man’s follies and prejudices is not to
fire at him with the heavy artillery of
argument; if you did he might come
off with the self-conscious air of a
conqueror, and by some of his friends
be crowned with the hays Of a hero.
Hut show up his weakness in its nak
ed absurdity—surround hiin with all
its comic accessories—cover it with a
pile of pompous and outlandish lan
guage, and if you don’t see him take
night like a dog in a country village
with an antiquated oyster can tied to
his tail, lapping the earth at, every
leap to getaway from human habita
tion, then I have done one side of hu
man nature gross injustice.

Bovs.—This is a fruitful theme and
one short paragraph is not enough to
do the subject justice; or even touch
the wide field covered all over as it is
with knuek-holes, the debris of ball
liases, marble rings, hop-skotch fig*-
ures, jam-juice, cake crumbs, knife
handles, old tops, tobacco quids and
cigarette stumps; but the boys shall
not be overlooked, “that the mind of
desultory man, studious of change,”
may be indulged. It is said “boys
will be boys,” and “noise will be
noise.” The man who never was a
boy, so to speak, and in a boyish
sense, and tiie man who has a culti
vated ear for all kinds of noises, will
not accept the above propositions as
exact. There are, ana ever will be,
boys that are not boys, and noise
that is not noise, paradoxical as it mav
seem. There are hoys not in their
teens who are nothing but old chil
dren, and will be so all their lives. So
it is with noise, as that in a partially
dUtif ear, the thundering of tl\e cata
ract and the avalanche, and that
caught up from the parlor when a
fellow and his girl are tasting the hon
ey of plighted love in the most ap
proved oscalutory, fashion. There is
as much difference between boys as
there is between men. I don’t know
any boys, who were boys when I was
a boy, who have made any “noise in
the world,” since they have grown to
be men, who laid about in the shade,
reading, dreaming or sleeping at the
summer school recesses, when the oth
er boys were at play. It is the full
grown boy who makes the full grown
man.
Fashion may change in some things
hut an old well tried remedy is grap
pled with hooks of steel. Such is
White's Cream Vermifuge, which ha3
a larger sale than any so-called rem
edy, because it never fails to expel
worms from a child who is their vic
tim. Therefore do not defer its use,
but relieve your child speedily by a
dose of White’s Cream Vermifuge.
