The Fort Valley Leader expresses
the opinion that Atlanta’s desire to
secure an elephant springs from a
purpose to secure an attraction that
will help out the $4 a week boarding

show the Legislature Is not apt to ad

In 1892 pensions will take $14 from
the head of every family in the United
States, if the estimates made of the
probable effects of recently passed
laws are correct. If this money were
collected by direct taxation, so that
each man could know exactly what is
taken from him, the pension system
would not stand six months. Hut as it
is. the taxpayer not only gives his $14
to the government, hut a much larger
amount to the “protected” persons
whose interests have demanded the
pievaflitig pension extravagance.—

Mr. McMillin of Tennessee gives his
views of the McKinley bill as follows:
“The republicans have passed their
bill on schedule time and Mr. McKlo -
ley’s work is done, but howf Two-
thirds of tbe bill has not even been
considered. Think of it! There are
200 clauses which no opportunity has
been given the democrats to amend.
There has been no deliberate or ade
quate consideration of the measure.. It
is a measure substantially increasing
the taxation of everything except
sugar.
Tlie committee admitted to forty mil
lions increased taxes on schedules oth
er than sugar. They also admitted
that they did not include in these
statements many of the increases pro
posed. 1 have, with the aid of an ex
pert, gone over the bill in detail, and
find that these increases not included
in their report amount to over $25,000,-
000. This, added to the committee’s
admission of increases, makes the to
tal increase over $60,000,000.
Therefore, the truth is they have
taken $55,000,000 from sugar and nut
$66,000,000 on the other schedules.

Atlanta, Ga., March 13th, 1890.—
Hon. R. L. Berner, Chairman Demo
cratic State Executive Committee,
Forsyth, Ga.: Dear Sir—We ask that
the enclosed request be dulycousidered
by your body. We ask tbis in no idle,
meddlesome spirit, but for the purpose
of giving the people an opportunity
of expressing their preference, in the
most general manner, at a time when
the farm operations will not be inter
fered with, and also for the purpose
of affording them all ample opportun
ity of weighing men and measures.
Very trulv yours,

THE ALLIANCE RESOLUTION.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee Hon. L. F. Livingston, presi
dent of the State Farmers’ alliance,
concurring, the following preamble
and resolution was passed:
Whereas, we deem it advisable to
afford the people an ample opportun
ity to consider men and measures,
and to give them facilities for a full
and free expression of their prefer
ences, and this at such time as will In
the least interfere with the duties of
the farmer; therefore—
Resolved, That we most respectful
ly request the executive committee of
the respective political parties iu
Georgia to order or recommend that
nominations be made by primaries in
all counties where nominations are to
be bad, and the same extend to militia
districts in the counties, and the day
fixed for the nominations of members
of both houses of the legislature and
state officers, and congressmen be de
ferred to the latest possible day, not
sooner than the first of August.

I concur in the foregoing:
L. F. Livingston,
President State Farmers’ Alliance.
The following Resolutions wen
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That a convention of the
democratic party of Georgia be
called to convene in the hall of the
house of representatives, iu the capi-
tol of the state, at 12 o’clock m, on
Thursday the 7th day of August next
to nominate a candidate for governor
and candidates for attorney-general,
comptroller, treasurer, secretary of
tlie state, commissioner of agricul
ture. •
Resolved, That each county bo en
titled to twice the number of votes
in said convention that it is now en
titled to iu the lower house of the
general assembly of the state.
Resolved, That the time and man
ner of selecting delegates to the
convention, and tlie number of dele
gates the county may send to cast the
vote to which it is entitled, he left to
tlie executive committee of each
county to determine for themselves.
Resolved, That the executive com
mittee of each county is earnestly
requested to adopt such methods sat
isfactory to itself as will insure a full,
free and fair expression of popular
choice, but we earnestly recommend
the adoption of the primary elections
iti all nominations where tlie same is
practicable.
Resolved, That to secure bona fide
representatives, upon whom the par
ty must depend for a true expression
of its preference in nominating con
veutions, each county be requested
to select alternates, to take the plaee
of regularly appointed delegates who
fail to attend. _
Georgia s Northern Citizens.
There is great interest, botli north
and south, in that convention of>
northern men whicli meets at Doug-
lasville in June. In many respects it
will be one of the most notable ever
held in the state. It lias certainly
been widely advertised and comment
ed on, and has met with general en
dorsement everywhere.
There are, perhaps more northern
families iu Georgia than in any other
-southern state, and the number in
creases every day. Her rioh resour
ces first attracted them, and then tlie
genial influences of the climate and
the people have bound them to their
new home by ties as tender as those
that link them to the old. They ure
here, and here to stay; their interests
are identical with our own, and tliCy
are doing a noble part in tlie upbuild
ing of the country.
In the meantime, as we have before
predicted good results are sure to fol
low this meeting at Dougiasvilie. No
sectional issues or party strifes will
enter into it; it will be a love-feast of
the north under the blue of southern
skies—a meeting of brethren iu the
house of their friends.—Constitution.
makes $73,500,000. Even with the
credit of sugar, it leaves the par
ty with a charge against it of an in
creased taxation of $18,000,000. There
are 150 increases in the bill which the
committee lias failed to give any reas
on for making because there is no
good reason, unless it may be cosider-
ed a good reason to increase the tariff
for the benefit of one class to the in
jury of another.
OUR CENSUS OF MANUFACTURES.
On the 2d day of June tbe work of
collecting statistics of manufactures
for the report of the eleventh census
will be inaugurated throughout the
entire country. The value of this re
port must depend wholly upon the
accuracy and thoroughness witli
which manufacturers answer tlie ques
tions propounded.
The personal interests of every
manufacturer are involved in tlie
character of tlie report on manufac
tures. It will be quoted for the next
ten years as tbe.oflicial announcement
of the exact industrial condition of
tlie country, and will be the basis for
any future legislation that may be en
acted in regard to the wants of our
people, whether engaged in agricul
tural or mechanical pursuits. There
fore it is of vital importance to each
munufaotarer that an accurate report
shall be made.
The superintendent of census has
taken every possible precaution in
the preliminary work to make this
census complete and satisfactory, and
the earnest co-operation of those en
gaged in productive industry is all
that is now necessary to secure valu
able results.
Every manufacturer should bear in
mind tiiat his answers to tlie ques
tions relating to his business are held
strictly confidential, are not disclosed
to any competitor or toother persons,
and are not used by the government
as predicate for the purpose of taxa
tion or license, or in any way to ad
versely affect his individual business.
This assurance is printed oil each
schedule over the signature of the
superintendent of census.
The expert special agent in charge
of this branch of census work, Mr,
Frank It. Williams, has personally
visited the principal manufacturing
centres and consulted representative
manufacturers, the publishers of
journals, and practical business men
generally for the purpose of ascer
taining the proper scope of tlie inqui
ry for each branch manufacture. The
questions contained in tbe census
schedules are those suggested by tlie
manufacturers and other persons
most interested in the progress of the
country, and cover ground absolutely
essential to the proper presentation
of its industrial conditions and re
sources.
