CORRESPONDENCE. Answur To The Republlcmi Reform Party Letter. Mu. Eiutok.—•M r. Block seems to think that the republican party lias so reformed the tariif as to reduce the price of pins to ten papers for ten cents; also ten papers of sewing needles for ten cents, and the plow that cost $1.25 prior to 1800, can now ho bought for 20 cents ; all of which is true. But is it due to the tariff tax or to the increased, better and cheap¬ er facilities of manufacture and ship¬ ment? I think Mr. Brock failed to notice this point, lie also states that seventeen pounds of line, white granulated sugar can be bought in Tallapoosa for one dol¬ lar. “Good for Tallapoosa.” But I would like to present the fact to his no¬ tice that such was not the case until the tariff was removed. Previous to that you might get from nine to ten pounds of said sugar for one dollar. So you see it was not the high tariff but the remov¬ al of it that cheapened sugar. As re¬ gards manufactured articles being cheap¬ er now tlian in IStiO, Mr. Brock must take into consideration the fact that the facil¬ ities for cheaper and more rapid manu¬ facturing has been greatly increased; and that competition has a great deal to do with it. Mr. Brock states that previous to 18(50 we paid England 8100 per ton foi¬ sted railing that we now get for from 828 to $35 per ton. If we can produce these railings for $35 per ton and England charges 8100, why in the name of God do we want the tariff on when the difference in juice would preclude all competition? “Great gee-thunder.” I can’t see any “dog-goned” sense in it at all. And why in “sani-patcli” do American manufact¬ urers sell thdrgoods cheaper in Europe than they do in the United States? And why should American manufacturers be so highly protected, when American day laborers have to compete with the pau¬ per labor of Europe, when American farmers have to sell their produce in the open markets of the world, competing with the cheap labor of Russia, India and South America? Mr. Brock states that the tariff is not the cause of the farmers’ indebtedness, but that they are not self-sustaining. That they buy of the merchant three-fourths of their meat and bread stuff. Now let us examine this statement. Where does the merchant obtain this, if not of the farmer? lie does not pro¬ duce it himself, neither does lie import it. It is evident that Mr. Brock is only looking at a small portion of our great and glorious'country aucPtakes its farm¬ ers for a set of '‘skolionemedonks.” Why the cotton raising portion that he is look¬ ing at comprises not more than one-fourth of our country. What causes the north¬ ern farmer to cry for relief and say his load of debt is greater than lie can hear? Do they buy their bread and meat? If so, what becomes of the great herds of large swine and droves of line cattle they raise there? What becomes of the thousands of bushels of wheat, oats, corn, barley, rye, buckwheat and such stuff that you find in their barns? Some may think that the northern and western farmer is not greatly in debt, hut let us take the two wealthiest agricultural states in the union, Ohio and Illinois, Real estate niortgaes in Ohio amount to 8400,000,000 and Illinois to $402,000,000, and still it is all the farmers fault. He is to blame be¬ cause lie cap’t get more than 15 to 20 cents per bushel for corn, and lias to burn it in the winter for fuel because he can’t sell it for enough to buy wood or coal. Oh, yes; the farmer is to blame for everything. I expect we had better kick the “darn-no-account-cuss” clear out of the country, for maybe we can get along better without farmers than with them. Mr. Brock says for the farmers to raise their own corn and their own bread stuff and fatten their own meat. Well, three-fourths of the farmers do that and have some to sell, but the price is so low that it won’t pay their taxes and buy their groceries and farming implements. Mr. Block'. theory is very good to listen too, hut we can’t practice it to the mu tual benefit of all. ^eGO * TO® MRS. T. V. M’CAIN’S, TEMPLE J ■i GEORGIA FOR your Hats and Dress Goods.

BRIDGEWATER <*** ' CARRIAGE CO. ♦A'.’J-—- Now, wo don’t preteml to understand great political questions thoroughly, be¬ cause we were born and raised on a farm, and a small one at that, and as there j were 14 children of us, our paternal pa-; rent could not afford to give us a thor ongli education. So we would like Co hear * again from friend Brock on this and oth- • or questions for our benefit. Ex-Eaiimek. At Tlie Same Time And Place. Rno. Editor.—I hear a great deal said in regard to the third party. If 1 knew what we were going into 1 could advise with better faith. It seems like the time i has come, if the same jilace lias come to ® take the third degree of the Alliance. Now abideth faith, hope, charity, these throe. If all this be so, why halt ye be¬ tween two opinions? Now at the same time and place 1 be¬ lieve it is right to look to the right and dress and forward march, if it takes the fourth, fifth, tenth or one hundredth fold. And at the same time and place Dick wants his wa\\ Tom wants his way and Ilarry Ii is, but the Ad amide family can’t stop because of these three. There lias never been any institution, church or so¬ ciety but what has changed, only the Masonic order. Now at the same time and as near the same place as possible, to not materially injure ourselves, our families or our country if tlie Alliance is getting bother¬ ed. just light should shift arms and move on in a double quick. I once had my gun shot in two in my hands. The Col¬ onel gave me another. I hope we will never get to that pass again. At the same time and place no govern¬ ment, church, school or Sunday school d ivided against itself won't do well and is likely to come to naught or some other throw. “United we stand divide we fall.” D.

What sort of morality is that which satisfies a man in the non-payment of a debt as long as his creditor refrains from “dunning?” What sort of morality is that which satisfies itself in the non-payment of a debt because it is a small amount—a tr.tle? What sort of morality is that which calls the attention of the ci editor to an overcharge, but is silent about an under¬ charge? What sort of morality is that which seeks to evade meeting his creditor lest he should he more plainly reminded of his indebtedness? What sort of morality is that which satisfies itself in the non-payment of a debt because the creditor is presumed by the debtor not to need what tiie debt calls for? What sort of morality is that which satisfies itself in the non-payment of a debt because of failure in farming or other enterprise or undertaking? What sort of morality is that which gets offended when asked to pay a debt, which the debtor promised to pay long before the timeef dunning? What sort of morality is that winch provides for his own wife and children by defrauding the wife and children of an other man dead or alive, to whom he is justly indebted for things which have been used by the debtor’s family for their own enjoyment or profit? What sort of morality is that which ignores moral obligation as to a debt and niys only wlieu the civil law compels? In short, what sort of moaiity is that which disregards the command, ‘Thou shall not steal?” Chiustiax Neighbor. Do you want to save from 25 to 50 cents -hi every Dollar you spend?
