CAUSE. EFFECT AND REMEDY*
The existing state of affairs in
this country has called forth a great
deal of discussion and articles of
great interest have been written upon
it by writers of eminence and wis
dom. In their eagerness to grasp at
a solution of their financial troubles
the psople of the entire nation have
devoured with intense interest all
that has been said or written upon
this subjeotsnd now stand at the
doors of Congress demanding the
enactment of such laws as will
nullify the evil effects now prevalent
throughout the country and give an
honest, toiling citizenry a living
chanoe at success.
There is no denying the fact that
something has gone wrosg in this
government and that affairs have
gotten in that shape where they need
a straightening out. All this had a
cause, for things do not happen by
chance. The cause dates back to
the war, that source so prolific of
evils to onr people. In those days,-
with the horrors of reconstruction
upon the people, with homes dia*.
mantled and fortunes swept away,
with firesides desolate and sorrow
sitting at every hearthstone, there
wer&.ihose Who with the keen* fore*
sight of statesmen looked into the fu
tare and saw the day when the mon*
ey king would wield a sceptre far
more tyrannical than the war kin&
and when the people, who were quiet
under the woes of reconstruction
would revolt against the laws that
enabled the rich to snatch from them
tie fruits of honest• toil. That
day has ctme and the evils of the
sixties are cropping ont sgsin in
’ninety-three. The laws of Republi
can rule have so been framed as to
work together most systematically
for the impoverishment of the poor
and the enrichment of the rich.
Every movement has been towards
the benefit of the rich and the detri
ment of the poor.
Four laws have done much to
wards bringing about the present
stat3 of affaire, viz, the national
hank laws, the demonetisation of
stiver, the pension law and the
iniquitous tariff, neither of which
can be evenly lemotely charged to
democracy and all of which are the
eff-epringof republican is m. Other
c&nsis ctme in incidentally and have
had their weight in # bringing about
the present condition of govermen
tal affairs,’ but these are the great and
leading causes.
What haa been the effect off these
causes? We have bat to look turooi d
us to see the effect. The national
bank laws have limited onr banking
facilities until the people have not
enough help of this kind to .trans
act half their business. The silver
demonetisation has placed in the
hands of the East the power to al
most absolutely dictate to the coun
try the terms of all financial transac
tions. The pension ||laws have
sapped the veiy life from the country
and taken millions of dollars from
the pockets of honest men to trans
fer them to the pockets cf swindlers,
cheats, and frauds, and have given to
the United States the distinction of
having presented to the world the
most enoimonB iniqui’y ever placed
upon a people, whether free on in
subjection. And to crown the ir.-
f&imy we see the results of the tariff
in every home, as it takes food fiom
the tab'e and clothes from the backs
of the people and weighs down the
little home with the ever-increasing
weight of the mortgage.
It is idle to say that onr farmers
and mechani cs tre lazy and lack the
spirit of economy. Some of them
at description and some
[o not. The vest majority of them
the question. There is a paralyn >d
aia'e of business all over the country,
scores of banks are going to the
wall; the shrewdest financiers admit
the'r inability to stem the tide; and
business men of all stations know
that something is ont of joint that
mast be straightened oat and that at
an'early date. Confidence has dis
appeared and those who have money
are disposed to hang to it as long as
possible and not let it get ont of
their reach if they can help it.
These are some of the effects of the
causes mentioned that gave raise to
the call for the extra session of Con
gress.
There is a -'remedy for all
this, for there never was a disease
that didn’t have a remedy. And
when Congress gets together on the
7th day of August, like a good physi
cian it should diagnose the case
thoroughly and then apply the reme
dy. The disease is of old standing
and is in an advanced stage. The
cancer whicn has fed upon the body
politio for over a quarter of a century
is not to be removed by the admin
istration of angar-coated pills. It
will require the knife and it will
have to cat deep. It may bs a lit
tle harrowing to the feelings of some
timorous democrats, but in the
operation they mast follow the di
rections of the Chioago platform to
the letter. The administration of
that platform of principles will cure
the disease thoroughly and well.
The platform contains the man
dates of a free people to their ser
vants, and they should be carried
ont. The man who deviates from
them should be forever relegated to
the rear. If a party doesn’t mein
to stand by its platform of princi
ples, it basely deceives the people
whose support it asks. There is no
reason for hesitance or donbt on the
part of Democratic Congressmen,
Democratic Senators, and a Demo
cratic President. The demands of
the party are plain and should be re
garded. If they are not it will not
be well for him who disregards them,
The extra session 'ot Congress will
act perhaps entirely on the solution
of tie financial question. The
Will silver be disregarded as a
money mi tal entirely? Will the
repeal of the Sherman act mean the
establishment of monometalism? If
that is what it means and if Congra«s
should take sneb a step, they would
absolutely disregard the pledge cf
the Chicago platform on that subs
jeet. No one knows better than M *.
Cleveland that the party is pledged
to the keeping of g >ld and silver on
a parity and to the use of bath metals
as money metals. We don’t say that
the cry of the free silver men is just
in its entirety, nor do we say that
free coinage is without faults or
evils. We do say that if Mr. Cleve
land makes himself a party to any
measure looking^to the removing of
silver as one of the miney metals of
country and refuses to carry
ont the financial danse of the
Chicago - platform, he will
sat himself np as a man who thinks
himsdf bigger than his party and
prostitute. the high trust reposed in
him by the American people. Whan
the Sherman act is repealed each
legislation shohld be framed as will
give force and effect to ths financial
plank of the Chioigo platform, Con
gress should endeavor to pass all
such legislation as will tend to res
tore confidence among the people
and if it does these things the extra
session will prove the way to better
things in the fature.
At the regular session the national
bank laws could be knocked ou‘;
the pension frauds rectified, the ten
per oent tax on State basks repealed;
the tariff reduced to a basis of free
trade for necessaries and tariff fir
luxuries, and an income tax be levied
on a'jnst scale of graduation.
Of coarse Congress cannot do these
things at one sittings and perhaps it
will take .years, but that is the
remedy in part at least for the evils
that sourounds us. The people
need Hot think, however, that legis
lation will remove all evils or put
money m thdr pockets. They do
not think so, and even if they do
they are mistaken. There remains
one other thing necessary to com
plete the remedy, and that is energy

The article in yesterday’s Bahsxr on
the subject of farming near Athens by
Prof. J. B. Hunnicntt has attracted a
great deal of attention.
A gentleman m-.t the reporter yes
terday and had a leg conversation
with him. During the couraeof his re
marks he said: “I was deeply im
pressed with Dr. Hunnicntt’s ideas and
hope that they will leave their impress
upon the minds cf onr people. These
old worn out fields, these neglected
farms, can be made to pay a handsome
profit.
“I know whereof I speak when I say
that great profit would result from the
culture of grapes. The land iB suita
ble and there can be found ni more
perf.-ct climate for such a crop. These
auds around Athens would answer in
every way for grape culture and would
yield & splendid profit in such a busi-
>ea.
“The little town of Newnan shows
what can be done In this way. Old
lands th atoned to be considered worth
less have been tamed into vineyards
and sell at fifty dcllars an tore. A can
ning faotory is ran at Newnan,at which
a great deal of fruit is canned, and a
basket factory is also run at which the
baskets are made in which the grapes
are shipped off.
“Now the only thing necessary to
