No other preparation lias won success at
home equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. In
Lowell, Mass., where it Is made, It is now,
as it lias boeu for years, the leading medicine
for purifying the blood, and toning and
strengthening the system. This “ good name
at home” Is “a tower of strength abroad.”
It would require a volume
to prlut all Lowell jieoplo
have said in favor of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. Mr. Albert
Kstcs, living at 28 East Pino
Street, Lowell, for 15 years
employed as boss carpenter by J. W. Ilcnnett,
president of the Erie Telephono Company,
had a largo running eore come on his leg,
which troubled him a year, when lie began to
take Hood’s Sarsaparilla. The sore soon grew
’ess In size, and In a short time disappeared.
Jos. Dunphy,214 Cen
tral Street, Lowell, had
swellings and lumps
on his faco and neck,
which Hood's Sarsapa
rilla completely cured.
Mrs. C. W. Marriott, wifo of the First As
sistant Fire Engineer of Lowell, nays that
for 16 years sho was troubled with stomach
disorder and sick headache, which nothing
relieved. The attacks came on every fort
night, when she was obliged to take her bed,
and was unable to endure any noise. She
took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and alter a time
the attacks ceased entirely.
Many more might be given had we room.

ity in tlie House, Is nominally about
ten but fortunately it is stilted that
1 Mr. Randall cannot control the votes
i of more than half of that number.
| How tliis is, is uncertain, but at any
I rate, let the party do its duty as far
as it can and that is nil that can be
I expected of it. If they fail from 'the
i efforts of backsliders they can still go
before tlie country with confidence iu
i tlie coming election. Mr. Cleveland’s
I message will be tlie platform on this
! great and exciting question. We
| give the tax'es on some articles in
which tlie farmers are specially inter
ested, not in Georgia alone, but in
every State iu tlie Union. Paint for
tlie farm house, 64 per cent. The
figures which follow will show the per
cent upon tlie article mentioned: Truce
chains 53, hand saws 40, files 40, bags
and bagging for grain 40, couibs uud
brashes 30, a wooden pipe 80, barbed
wire for fencing 55, tlie commonest
window glass for tlie house 80, castor
oil 102, castile soap50, horseshoe nails
31, Epsom salts 30, tin cups, skimmers,
dippers, and all tin ware 42, tin plate
for canning meats and fruits 34, bricks
35, an ulpuceu umbrella 50, any steel a
farmer may have 50, the iron the
stove is made of 45, hollow ware, pots,
ettlos 53, crockery of the commonest
kind 55, rice 125, sugar 48, salt 36, car
pet if made of druggets 74, looking
glass 60, woollen hats and caps 75.
The farmer’s wife’s silk dress 60, men’s
clothing of wool 48.
We might go on and fill u column
with these robbing taxes, for every
dollar of these taxes which go into
tlie coffers of the protected classes.
The people in many sections, in fact,
in all the north-western States are
becoming aroused to the monstrous
iniquity. Tlie protectionists still
claim that tliis is necessary to pro
tect American industry. They go so
fur as to say that tlie domestic manu
factories would be broken down
without it.
Now mark how a plain statement
will refute this declaration. Mr. Clay
and Mr. Calhoun united their great
efforts in carrying through Congress
a tariff measure that was to reduce
tlie tariff in ten years to 20 per cent.
As far as we know, not a single man
ufacturing establishment was injured
by it. Mr. Clay said that no such es
tablishment deserved to stand that
could not he sustained by a duty of
20 per cent.
During Mr. Polk’s Presidency, he
instructed Ids Secretary of tlie Treas
tiry, Hon. Robt. J. Walker, to frame
the celebrated low tariff of 1846. Un
der tlie successive democratic admin
istrations, tlie duties were constantly
reduced, and when Mr. Buchanan
turned over tlie government to Sir.
Lincoln, the tariff duties avaraged
less than 20 per ceut. The country,
trade, commerce and the condition of
tlie people had never been so prosper
ous before as during the period from
1846 to tlie retirement of Mr. Buch
anan from tlie Presidential chair.
Now that the manufacturing estab
lishments are entrenched behind a
capital of $3,000,000,000 (three thou
sand millions of dollars,) they still put
up the sickening cry of infants pull
ing for the government teats.
Shame upon them! Shame upon
the government! Shame upon the
new light Democratic foster mothers!
Guddlers for the Republican protec
tionists! We refer to this subject
now, specially, because its discussion
in congress is about to commence. We
desire the people to watcti the wild
and extravagant, the false and un
blushing declarations of the chartered
libertines of the protective tariff, who
have long inflicted upon States sover
eignty tne most deadly blows, and
upon tlie people a robbery seldom
equalled in feudal despotisms. The
Democrats are making an appeal to
the honesty and honor of the nation,
as the republicans now call our once
venerated confederacy of States. Tlie
republicans will bridle justice and
trample it in tlie dust if they can!
Mr. Conkling was a great leader and
u great statesman. A courageous
man, he was too ; but he let slip the
great opportunity of his life to win
immortal fame and honor by joining
in the fraud of seating Hayes, when
he believed that Tilden was elected.
He replied as follows: "Well, it is by
no means as bad us it was a week
ago. The deadlock cost us ten days
of valuable time, hut there’s no use
wasting time now in talking about
that. It is over, thank Heaven. The
main question that Congress lias to
deal with tliis session is tlie tariff.
Tlie fight on that will begin tomor
row in tlie House when tlie Mills lav
iff hill is called up for consideration,
and will continue until the bill is pass
ed or defeated, though I don’t think
the last is likely to occur. No other
legislation, witli tlie exception of tho
regular appropriation bills, will he
considered by tlie House until tlie
tariff question is settled; and 1 under
stand that at tlie proper time the lead
ers of tlie party will call a House cau
cus, which will compel all the demo
crats in the House to vote for the hill.
All that will of course take time, but
the intention is, if possible, to bring
tlie hill to a vote before tlie date set
for tlie meeting of tlie St. Louis con
vention.”
“In my opinion,” lie continued, “it
is extremely doubtful whether this
programme can be carried out; there
is not time enough left. There will
probably be a hundred or more set
speeches delivered on the hill, some
75 or 80 members having already filed
notice witli tlie Speaker of their in
tention to speak on the subject. From
tomorrow to the meeting of tlie St.
Louis convention there are just 42
days, exclusive of Sundays. In all
probability the speeches to bo made
on tliis bill will' take up more time
than that, to say nothing of tlie days
that it will be absolutely necessary to
devote to consideration of the regular
appropriation bills whicli must he
passed before tlie 30th of June, or
some of the wheels of government will
become clogged.
“However, much time may be sav
ed by holding an early caucus and
mapping out the exact course to be
followed on tlie floor of the House,
and once mapped out, the leaders
should see that there is no going out
side tlie lines by any member of tlie
party. If a vote is reached on tho
final passage of tlie Mills hill before
tlie 1st of July, I shall be greatly sur
prised.
“Of the otiier legislation now be
fore Congress: The River and Harbor
bill will pass tlie House surely, and
probably the Senate; tlie Dependent
Pension bill is hardly likely to get
through tlie House at this session;
tlie Springer Omnibus bill for tlie ad
mission of the Territories of Dakota,
Montana, Washington and New Mex
ico, will be passed by the House tint
not by tlie Senate; the Blair Educa
tional hill is not likely to be reported
from tlie House committee. There
now, I have given you my ideas of
tlie democratic legislative prospect;
you are welcome to them, but don’t
use my name, not that I care, but
somebody else might, you know.”
Ex-Senator Wallace, of Pa., says
tlie demecrats of that State are unan
imous for the renominatiou of Cleve

from all sections of tlie country.

Mr. Allen, of Mississippi, is making
quite a reputation in the House as a
quick witted and ready debater. He
gave a fine example of hia talent in
that line on Saturday, which waa
much enjoyed by the members. His
victim was Mr. Perkins, of Kansas,
who had started to address the House
on tlie Indian appropriation bill but
who floundered around, mixing up
tlie tariff and tlie slave trade anil mis
taking tin* constitution of the Confed
erate States for tlie platform of the
democratic party. Mr. Allen stood
this ns long as he could and then pro
ceeded to make the disconnected gen
tleman from Kansas a laughing stock.
He said Mr. Perkins reminded him of
tlie story of two men, who when trav
eling, slept in a room with a cupboard
in it. During the night one asked
tlie other to look out of the window
and see wlint kind of a day it was go-
inn to lie. Tlie latter opened the glass
door of the cupboard and exclaimed,
"It is daiji as liell and smells like
cheese.” Instead of getting his lkonil
out into the daylight of 1888, tlie gen
tleman from Kansas Imd got bis head
into tlie cupboard of rebellion, whore
everything was dark and smelled like
slavery. Mr. Allen invited him to
discuss tlie live issues presented by
tlie democratic party into the open
sunshine of to-day.
Immigration to Georgia.
Morning Nows.
Southern newspapers have given a
great (leal of attention to the subject
of immigration to tlie south lately.—
The severe winter at the north lias
drawn attention strongly to the
south’s advantages. The northern
lauds are not more fertile than those of
tlie south, and for five or six months
of tlie year in tlie north no work can
be done and tlie stock must be fed.
Tlie south’s advantages are only just
beginning to be known.
Erroneous impressions are enter
tained of it. To correct those, im
pressions is a task to which tlie south
ern press is devoting itself. Each
southern state should assist in this
work by means of a bureau of immi
gration. The southern railroads could
also spend money profitably in ma
king known tlie advantages of tlie
section of country tributary to them.
Tho action of the Central railroad of
Georgia iu establishing a bureau of
immigration is a most encouraging
sigp. If the other roads of this state
will follow its example, and if the peo
ple will supplement the work of the
roads, the benefit that will accrue to
Georgia will lie very great. Tliis is a
matter of vital importance to Geor
gians. It is not sufficient that they
should admit its importance. They
should act. Approval of a good work
is all very well, but action iu its be
half is a great deal better.
If tiiere is an impression iu any
quarter that spasmodic efforts in be
half of immigration will serve tlie
purpose it should lie dismissed. Spas
modic effort does notaccomplisli much
anywhere. In the matter of immi
gration, men do not give up homes
and associations without thought and
study. The advantages of other
sections have to be drilled Into them.
Every county in Georgia should set
fortli in some shape its particular ad
vantages, to be placed before people
who are thinking of seeking new
homes.
The Manufacturer’s Record says:
when tlie truth of the south’s brilliant
future and the desirability of living in
a country where blizzards are un
known become deeply impressed upon
people, they will decide to make
change, anil then they will naturally
select that place which most forcibly
attracted their attention through
some pamphlet or newspaper article.”
There is sound sense in tliis, und it
should he acted upon by progressive
Georgians who desire to see their
lands occupied by a desirable class of
people.
Advertising A City.
To our mind t..e people of Colum
bus, Ga. have struck upon the best
plan yet presented to advertise their
town. They do not propose to spend
fabulous sums with newspapers at a
distance, but they will elaborately
and thoroughly advertise their city
through their own daily newspapers.
It is their purpose to engage a full
page of each of these dailies, supply
them with a list of first-class men in
tlie north and western states, includ
ing farmers, mechanics, artisans, man
ufacturers, hankers and capitalists,
who may be favorably inclined this
way. They will secure thirty thous
and names, to whom these papers will
be sent. This issue of the paper will
have editorial notices endorsing and
promoting the scheme. On the page
used by them wilfbe a full view of the
city, and every feature of the mate
rial and social life will be proclaimed,
and the entire space devoted to the
yurpose of attracting new comers.—
It will be written by the best talent of
tlie city, revised and changed every
issue, and with the regular subscri
bers of these journals added to the
list, they hope to reach fifty thousand
people. It needs no argument to show
tho superiority of this method of ad
vertising over that employed by some
in engaging the dailies of tho great
cities to give grand write-ups.—Car-

Are some men born for fortune’s fa

perpetual pall? I don’t know ; but it
seems so. How often we see a man of

grain, and ho no “giant angel” either.

There is nothitig in Nature beauti

have their uses. Womanly is tlie
highest order of natural beauty in
the world; hut if sho havo all tt&a-

Writersof power are shorn of much
of their influence for good by the
temper of their compositions. Read
ers are not like-minded. While a few
prefer the oracular and obscure, as
Milton, Coleridge and Emerson, or
tho irfoody and sullen like Swift, naz-
lltt and Byron, by far the greater
nmnlier prefer tho cheerful, amusing,
communicative, like Addison, Gold
smith, Scott, Washington Irving. It
was tin* peculiar distinction of Hhaks-
peare to combine all these qualities.
Ho was as happy in delineating a Ti-
mou, Hamlet, Othello, Portia, Cal-
phurnia and Cleopatra, as a Jaques,
Ful staff, l'etruehio, Hhylock, Rosa
lind, Miranda and Imogen. Tliemod-
ern American Novelists are too prune
to adopt tho oracular and obscure at
tiie expense of tlie cheerful, amusing
and communicative.
There is nothing unpleasant in the
taste or effects of Brewer’s Lung Re
storer, but besides relieving the
cough, it strengthens, invigorates and
builds up the system.
Groat occasions—circumstances—
do not singly, or combined, make-
orators. They display eloquence born,
of exciteinont, and tho arousement
of people’s sympathies or passions—
as before a jury in an Intensely ab
sorbing trial for murder—at a gath
ering of men and women at a com
petitive agricultural fair, or iq pres
ence of a maddened mob clamoring
for human blood—but these are fit
ful flashes that last no longer than
the excitement lasts; and the men
who capture the crowd of listener*
on such occasions are not orators—
they are impressive speakers, only.
A profound lawyer, and one of great
celebrity as an advocate, niav be-
without tho qualifications necessary-
for an orator. Not even Coke, him
self, the oracle of the law, was au or
ator. Thorough equipment in on®
science, indeed. In all the sciences,
will not make an orator; but if to
