I The Second Fifty-Day Session Begins It’s Labors, COVERNOR NORTHER'S MESSAGE He 1’ouclies on Matters of National Importance—The Tariff Law of Protection anti the State Hank Tax—Needed Reforms. Atlanta, Ga., October 25.—The gen eral assembly conveued this morning nt 10 o'click. lu the absence of Speaker Atkinson, who is confined at his room at the Kimball by a sharp •and sudden attack of sickness, the house was called to order by Speaker Protein. Boifeuillet, who made ap propriate remarks welcoming repre- seniatlv.s baok to tlieir seats in the legislature and expressing the hope that the sess on would be pleasant mid harmonious aud that their do* liberations would redound to the jglory aud peace of the state aud the prosperity and a vuueemeut of the people. He t lien announced the house ready for business. Seven new members were sworn in to take the place of members who hud resigned or died since last session. The oath of office was administered by Judge John J. Hunt of the Phut circuit, and coin- snittees were appointed to notify the *enate and file governor that, the house had convened. The roll call of count ies was called for, and the in troduction of bills and several of local und general nature were intro* xluced. Ferguson, of Lee introduced a res olution to the elleut that be it resolv «?d by the genual assembly of Geor gia timt the Georgia senators be in structed and her representatives in cougrtss lie requested to use ail lion* orable means speedily to pi ox ide for the restoration of silver to its con stitutional place in the currency of this republic, and that to that eud the five aud unlimited coinage of sil ver be at once provided, to effect iin; mediate repeal of the ten per cenL tax of state banks ot issue. The lit s- oltition was referred to an appropri ate committee, IN THU SENATE President Clay convened the senate and made fitting und happy remarks. The senate had no special busiues and adjourned early. The nouse adjourned a- noon. The sessions will be from 9 a. in. to 1 p. m. until further notice. THE (iOVKRNOK’S MESSAGE. To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: Since your adjournment, some thing less than one year ago, the people oi our common country, have suffered from the effects of an tin usual und long continued iiuamcial strengency. If such money pauics can occur when our harvests areabuudaut, aud no legitimate causes are easily ap parent, it behooves the representa tives of tue people to inquire into the conditions that make them possi ble. Under such conditions there must 10 cur midst some power, some where, able to paralyze and destroy, at will, the common interest und the common good. ®ucl* dangerous inlluenee, if it exist, should not only be inquired in to and removed, but it should be ub solutely destroyed. No conditions of class can justify the growth of a now within tjie all the ills that affect the country to- I day, come to us. directly or indirect ly from the dangerous aud pernici- lo'ua policy of the general govern ment known us protection. U he tune has come iu the history of our people I when this policy must be rebuked, as contrary to the'spirit of free gov* 1 eminent, and not authorized by the ! organic law that made the American I system. Adopted at tue beginning for rev | enue, it advanced to the .guardian-' ship of our infant industries, until it ! has finally grown into a monster 1 power, producing combinations, trusts j uDd monopolies that override the rights of the common people, while ! they dare dictate the policy of the government in their own interest j and against the interest of the peo ple. It is gratifying to know that the political party now in pow/r stands I committed to repeal its resultant, unconstitutional tax which destroys the equa'ity of right among citizens aud builds a system of centralized government. Not content, with denying the rights of the individual in trade, the general government has advanced to the further denial of the rights of tne states in their use of money as established before the adoption of tue constitution of the United States and fmly recognized, authorized and guaranteed in that fundamental law of our system. It is equally gratifying to know that the present congress is pledged to repeal this protected monopoly of money also, and restore to the states the opportunity for growth and de velopment commensurate with their resources aud their unrestrained ener gy and will. No tax was ever imposed by the federal government upon the issue of state banks uutil the necessities of war demanded ttie revenue. This tux was levied then, first, as upon manufacturers, for revenue, aud fi nally, for protection to our national infant financial industries by prohib iting the rights of the state in money. The authority extended by the na tional government to certain citizens to invest their money in government bonds; deposit them with tile United States treasurer; receive a bank charter aud have issued ninety per cent, of'their face vul le iu bills for circulation, was not enough to guar antee the success of a money monop oly. if state banks of issue were tol erated by the general government. Therefore, state banks cf issue need ed to be suppressed at*d a monopoly created for national currency under protection by the government. The tax was levied, the rights of state authority were destroyed, and pro tected money monopoly now threat ens, more than all else, the liberties of the people. Little, if any, revenue was ever collected on a state issue, and yet the majority of the supreme court of the United States held that it was not within their jurisdiction to protect sta'e banks against this wholesale slaughter, saying, further, such banks must look alone to congress for relief. Congress is now in session, and to congress the states must appeal for an equal chance against protected monopoly to prevent uncalled for panics and tbe consequent distress of the people. 1 recommend, therefore, iu antici pation of such action by congress us is guaranteed by the democratic plat form, such legislation as will charter I state bauks of issue, upon such safe conditions, without federal in terference or control, as will secure their credit beyond question aud fur nish to tbe bill-holder absolute and perfect protection. When this is done our people will get money at a fair rate of interest when they need it, and the states will furnish an elastic currency that will expand und contract as our business needs demand; [trices of products will not he reduced because of scarcity of money, and congestion aud contrac tion will be an Impossibility under our financial system. By independent state action, solvent conuty, s'ate and municipal, as well as national bonds and cash resources can be used with perfect security for the redemption oi state bank bills. In this way our financial basis will be broadened' and, with the protection of the government, removed from monopolies, whether in manufactures or money, we will have sound and abundant money for the state aud prosperity and content for the cit izen. TAX RETURN'S. For many successive years the property of this state has steadily advanced in value, uutil the past year, in 1892 the property of all kinds returned for taxation in this state amounted to $403,753,534. The re* turns for the past year amount, in the aggregate, to $452,000,000, making a decrease amounting to $12,000,000, the first decrease in tax values since the war. How much of this falling off can be attributed to the severe financial crisis through which we have passed, and bow much to the repeal of the law providing for the equalization of tax returns, I leave for your judg uieut to determine. The condition is worthy of your consideration, cer tainly, when it is known that not only the tax values have fallen off $12,000,000, but that the acreage of the state has shrunk 554,023 acres— not quite one thousand square miles. It is quite evident that our system of taxation is at fault. Justice to the citizen demands a remedy. Tile expenses of the government remaining the same, the larger the tax returns the less the rate; the greater the lack of uniformity in the returns, the greater the inequality of burden imposed by the rate. The state is growing in its charities EDUCATION. The falling off in tax values, just noted, will reduce the amount con templated by your appropriation to the school fund of the state some thing more than $35,000. If the schools are continued five mouths, as • heretofore, an additional fippropria- I tior. will be necessary. j 1 earnestly urge upon the general j assembly some provision by which | the teachers in our common schools l . shall be paid quarterly, as are all ) ether state officials. / j The salaries received by the teach- ! ers are not commensurate with the service they render. Delayed pay* j ment compels a heavy discount, on ; the scrip furnished them, neither creditable to the state nor just to a most worthy class of our citizens. The teachers in our Bchools, are, iu no sense, inferior in their rights to other officers in the state, and they should not be compelled to carry a tax in the shape of a discount to save the people from a burden very much less, because of a much more general distribution. If no netter plan can be devised by the general assembly I would respect fully recommend the levy of a special tax for one year to raise the amount necessary to meet the salaries of the teachers iu our common schools, even though it should require a double tax for the year of the levy. It is far better to distribute this burden among the people who receive the benefit of the service than confine it to the teachers who have fully earned the money the state denies them. MATTERS OF STATIC. In regard to matters of state, the governor urges the necessity of the establishment of a reformatory prison lor juveniles: a revision of the laws authorizing county chaingangs, so as to eliminate the evils growing out of the hiring out of those convicts to parties who are under no restraint of law, and who may, and in some in stances do, abuse the prisoners while they have no right of redress. He says: These convicts should receive from the state the same supenntendance- as is given to the convicts hired to the lessees of our penitentiary, Iu my judgment the general assembly cannot afford to delay longer the consideration d.te prisoners confined in onr county chaingangs. A revision of tbe penal code is ear nestly recommended in order that punishment commensurate with the crimes committed may be more justly provided. Another important change advocated is that the law now pro viding for tbe payment of the public school teachers be changed, and that they shall receive their pay quarterly, instead of annually, as is now the law. The governor was very thor ough and explicit in reviewing every department of the state’s interest, and the paper is pronounced an able and concise presentation of the state’s needs* Good Looks. Good looks are more than skin deep, de pending upou a healthy condition of all the vital organs. If the liver be inactive, you have a Bilious Look, if your stomach is disordered you have a Dyspeptic Look and if your Kidneys be affected you have a Pinched Look. Secure good health and you will have good looks. Electrio Bitters is the great alterative and Tonic, acts di rectly on these vital organs. Cures Pim ples, Blotches, Boils and gives a good complexion.

It was by a peculiar incident. 1 was selling papers on a train running out of Detroit. The news of the great battle of Sbiloli, (50,000 killed and wounded, came iu one night. I knew the telegraph operator at Detroit and I went to him and made a trade. “I promised him ‘Hamer's Month ly' and the New York ‘Tribune 1 regu larly if he would send out little dis patches along the line and have them posted up publicly. Then I went to the 'Free Press' aud took 400 copies. That emptied my treasury. I wanted 200 more. They sent me up to the editor. It was Wilber Storey, a dark looking man. I managed to get up to his desk and make a strong plea. He listened aud then yelled out, ‘Give this Arab 200 papers.' I took 000 papers out. 1 was taken off my feet when we readied the first little station. The depot was crowded with men wanting papers. The next station it was worse, aud I raised the price of the paper to ten cents. At the third station there was a mob and I soltl out with papers going at twenty-five cents a piece. “Well, do yon know that episode impressed me that telegraphy was a great thing, and 1 went into it. Tel egraphy led to electricity.—Intei- Oceun. ' ~WE MANUFACTURE-and • deal• in * every/Lina sucjyested- bij fne^ /d/e,s 'oy/nnse Looks.
