We call tho attention of our read ers to the advertisement in the Times of a valuable river plantation. Tills plantation is one of the finest tracts in this country. The bottom land (650 acres) is almost perfectly level, and entirely freo from stones and stumps. No better pluoo for steam culture could be found. The “bluff overlooking the railway which courses through tho “flats” abound In picturesque locations for building. The curs stop on the place and give an opportunity of reaching this city in ten minutes, or less time. Numer ous springs, branches, and a large creek runs to the river, and there is over u mile river-front abounding in cane sufficient to winter, perhaps, a hundred head of cattle. Tho very place for our grasshopper friends to raise grass upon without fear of grasshoppers. Yesterday wo took a long excur sion into the country in order to see the effects of the ten weeks drouth. We have never seen such disastrous results ns have oocurred in tho past two weeks in tho vicinity of Colum bus. The leaves on tiie forest trees look crisp, shriveled and parched. The ground in many localities is cov ered as thickly with forest leaves as if Autumn instead of a sirocco sum mer wus the seusou. Reports from river plantations iri Stewart oounty stato t.lmt several of the largest planters, in view of tho fact that not more than a half crop will be raised, have paid off half of their bunds and dismissed them. The cotton crop has suffered so much that full recuperation is not now pos sible. The policy of an enlightened sys tem of irrigation must bo jiatent to our planters. But they are heavily in debt and cannot embrace tho ad vantage# offered them by nature. I'IIJ 11st. We mentioned n few days ago that there were ono thousand skilled workmen in Atlanta out of employ ment. Their places were filled by negroes who work fur seventy-five cents a day. These men (the me chanics) and their friends are sign ing a pledge to buy nothing from and have no dealings with those who em ploy negro mechanics. This is alto gether wrong wrong iu principle and wrong in policy, Itis ns unjust us the orusade against the Chinese on the Pacific Slope. It is contrary to our political interest. We should do all in our power to abolish the "color-line” iu polities by convinc ing tho negroes that, our interests are identical with theirs; the mechanics among them should be encouraged, because they are the most enterpris ing of their roue. It is a narrow minded policy that would throw ob stacles in their way in the acquire ment ol property, because, when they become property-holders, they will naturally vote with conservative citi- zens. N Senator Norwood made an elabor ate address at Oxford, last Tuesday, on the “war and its results.” Let the reader ponder on the extracts given below, und he will agree with us in saying that the notion of the Atlanta mechanics is reprehensible and should be frowned down: While emancipation diminished our wealth It increased our political power. Negroes vote for men and not measures, and their 800,000 votes will be added to ours. The controlling interest among the people is the material one.

The drouth in this region is becom ing distressing: ami in ii very large section of country the corn crop has been out short aiui cotton is suffer ing badly. As tar as we eau learn, the drouth extends through a large jiortion of Caddo, bossier and Web ster parishes in this State, through southwestern Arkansas, and west ami north of Marshall, in Texas. If this drouth extends generally throughout the cotton region, the large calculations made us to the yield of that crop will have to be very considerably curtailed. Should the drouth be followed by a wet season in August the damage will probably l>e aggravated.— Sln-cve/wt Times. KK-Gov. Ces. <l. Fen diet mi. The synopsis of the speech of Hon. Geo. 11. l’endleton at Galllpolis, Ohio, sent us by telegraph, is worthy a more extended uotiee. His speech was clear, logical, forcible; and, epi tomizing the Ohio platform, explained how hard-money Democrats could consistently oppose a further con traction of the currency. Of the Re publican and Democratic creeds lie spoke as follows: Whoa tho Republican Convention met, in 1874, it spoke in the language of triumph, and with the presage of victory. It congratulated itself upon tho history and achievements of its purty, of its groat services aud great successes, tiie wisdom of its financial policy, its protection of civil l ights, the economy of its expenditures, the purity of its administration. It de clared itself in favor of a speedy re turn to specie payments, of further contraction of tho currency, of the withdrawal of legal-tender notes, of i free banking, of internal improve ments, of sumptuary laws to tho full extent of the legislative powor of the Slate, and promising lower taxation, greater economy anu increased pros perity, it saw, or thought it saw, many years of continued mid even enlarged power. In striking contrast is tho deolara- i tion of principles by tiie Democratic i Convention. Read it; Adherence to the principles of government estab lished by tho Fathers; opposition to all encroachments of one department uiion another, or by tho Federal power upon the Constitutional rights of the States; equality before the law of all citizens; one term for tile President; retrenchment wherever there is extravagance; reform wher ever there Is abuse; no subsidies; publio luud for actual settlers; a tariff for revenue only; equal and "X --actjustlcotoall religions; freesecular education in the Public Schools; op position to sumptuary laws, to inter ference witli social habits not crimi nal, to malignant espionage. And on the financial questions: Cessation of contraction ; a sound and sufficient currency; promotion of industries tiie surest road to the appreciation of pu per to a par with gold; greenbacks instead of National Bank notes; greenbacks for customs to the extent that tho necessities of the Govern ment will permit. There is tiie Democratic faith! To this it is pledged, and upon this it asks your concurrence iu giving it power in tiie Suites and in tho Fed eral Government. Ho explodes the fallacy that It is dangerous to demand that the vol ume of currency be made and kept equal to tho wants of trade. Ho cites Atnasu Walker, “the hardest of hard money men,” and the foremost polit ical economist in tiie country, to prove that tiie proper volume of cur rency is that natural volume which is regulated by tho laws of trade. Tiie Democratic party does not fa vor a depreciated currency, but it de sires a return to specie payments as speedily os the Interests of labor and business will permit. “So long,” ho continues, “as we must have a Government, paper, we prefer greenbacks to National Bunk notes, which cost the people at the outset six per cont., and are at. last only redeemable in greenbacks.” This clause In his speech tolls a patent truth: The Congress has passed a law de claring absolutely that resumption shall take place in January, 1579, and to prepare for it hns authorized tiie Secretary of tho Secretary to issue gold bonds with gold interest, to buy gold and silver; and it is stated ill the papers that lie has actual Iv sold $15,000,000 silver. No limn will en gage in business and undertake en terprises when, by law, the money is to be appreciated and his indebted ness is to be increased seventeen per cent, in throe years. And this quotation is nono the less forcible: The bonded debt of the Government was then (1865) twenty-five hundred millions. Tho taxes were six hun dred millions. Tile whole South was opened up to the currency, which Imd been confin ed to the North and West alone, and one million of moil who, as soldiers, laid been consumers, were returned to the field of aetivo production. Then commenced the Republican system of finance. It was plain and simple. Oonlract tho currency, and, if necessary to this end, increase the interest-paying debt. And from that hour to this, with occasional brief re spites, ttiere has been steady, grind ing of the currency. Down, down has oomo the currency; and down, down, down, ulso, have come the prosperity and happiness of the country, the for tunes and credit of tho wealthy, the vigor und activity of enterprise, the rewards and comforts of the labor ers, until now we are confronted with a condition of affairs which you, my fellow-citizens, feel too keenly to make description necessary. The iron and coal of all ibis region can find no market. Tiie supply lies heavy on your hands. Your mines and mills are stopped. Your capital is unproductive. Your laborers cun not get. employment and are suffer ing. The rest of the country is iu the same condition. Last week tiie fa tuous Atlantic Cotton Mills, employ ing twelve liundrpd and fifty men and women, were closed, because there was no market for their goods, and others have followed their example. The eonditon of affairs thus pictur ed of the West, equally true of the South. We are all anxious for the resumption of specie payments, but we believe in the policy of “making haste slowly.” Feolina lente is an an cient maxim full of wisdom. We eu : dorse fully the speech of Mr. Pendlo- I ton us true Domooratie doctrine suit !od to the exigencies of the times. If | figures don’t lie let these, presented by Mr. Pendleton plead their own cause; In eleven months in these nine ar- 1 tides, the production of farmers’ la bor or land, there has been a reduc tion of exports to the amount of cigli-1 ty-seven million of dollars : Exports. 1875. 1874.

At the Bankers Con vention at Saratoga, New York, July 21st, the following resolutions were passed: Fist—A resolution favoring resump tion, and calling upon every citizen to hasten the day when every prom ise of the Government to pay a dol lar should be redeemed in coin. Second Galling for a repealof the war tax on bonks. Fifth—Favoring a permanent or ganization of national bankers. Mr. liuelL of New York City, spoke :in favor of the resolution for Imtne | diate resumption. But, says Mr. Pendleton: This country is not all made up of creditors, bondholders, money-lend ers whose interest and greed load them to be eontractionists, and debt ors, who, with equal selfishness and dishonesty are inflationists asu guise for repudiations. These extreme classes are in fact small. Between thorn is that great body of rnen, com posing tho largo majority of citizens engaged ill the vurious pursuits of industry, at onoe producer* aud oon sumers, at once creditors and debt or*, who are content to labor und live on Its rewards, who pay their debts, who desire no policy for their special benefit,' but find their individual prosperity in the common weal. It is not our province to make war on those whose superior skill, expe rience und judgment places them among the creditor classes. But, leaving aside the purely Southern interest, we regard the views of Mr. Pendleton, as expressed at Gallipoli.-,, as the safest exponent of the will and interests of the people throughout the United States. Tlio way to re sume is not to resume too soon. We do not want inflation, but we oppose further contraction. Tile Atlanta llrralil on the Demnrratle Press. The editor of tho Atlanta Herald takes the Democratic press of Geor gia severely to task, for giving to their readers the sentiment North, as gleaned from the Washington Chron icle. Itdenles that that paper con veys the sentiment of the North, and adds; “It is the organ of Ben Butler, Oliver P. Morton, and Ulysses 8. Grant, and represents hardly anybo dy outside of this odirous trinity.” We are very much surprised to see such a statement made in a wall in formed journal, and given to an in telligent people. Wo agree that the Washington Chronicle is unscrupu lous in its blind adherence to Radi cal faith,but“glve the Devil his duo,” aud admit that it is the organ for a vast number of people, who believe implicitly in every word it utters, and are willing dovotees at the shririe of Radicalism and envenomed hate to the South. If tho ent ire opposition to tho South ami the Democratic party is centered iu the Washington Chronicle and iu Morton and Butler, it seems to us that there would bo no necessity for anything being said or done to de feat them. But tiie truth is, that the radical purty North Is a powerful one; and in order to gain u victory over them, a united effort, mid a firm re solve will bo necessary to consum mate our object. We are not in favor of throwing any obstacle in the path of reconcili ation and good will; nor are wo In fa vor of telling the people that, the en tire Nortli want to embrace us, and to restore us our losts rights. They have sinned too much against us to forget all, and to weep and have the hysterics, now that some are realiz ing to what extent their pockets will be depleted if t his game of bate goes on much longer. Wo want to see peace and happiness restored on u solid basis, - by each suction accepting matters, and in eatrieit commencing n new era in the political history of this country. Those Southern papers that have quoted from the Chronicle did it not to stir up feeling, but rath er to unite our friends and ourselves for a renewed determination to shake out of office and public favor the par ty endorsing the views of tho Chroni cle. There are many lesser lights than the Chronicle thatched the same light of hate and wilful misrepresentations upon the Ignorant masses that com pose the Radical party. The Chroni cle's Influence is large and extended, and in order to bring filial defeat and a complete overthrow to that party, the course of the Chronicle, and its adherents, must bo combatted; that even its own allies may become dis gusted with the “bloody shirt” and join the party that Is to save the coun try and declare a permanent peace. Wo should like to know also what is the financial condition of the cot ton planters in the different States, and whether they are anywhere largely in debt, to factors, and thus embarrassed in their operations— AVie York Herald. The cotton planters, in all the Cot ton States are almost unanimously a debtor class. In most cases they are largely in debt’, and it is a very rare thing to find a planter who is, not embarrassed in his operations. They commenced at the close of the war the herculean task of converting 4,- 000,000 freed slaves into free laborers ami citizens. They have worked harder than any class of our people, and theirs has been the most harass ing of all the industrial pursuits. The task was too great in face of Radical Reconstruction, and they have never been able to repay the debt incurred, when the war ended, to purchase new stock and repair their planta tions. This is the truth. The expansion of general systems of common-school education is. take it all in all. a most remarkable phe nomenon of the last ten remarkable years. By common consent the en tire civilized and semi-eivilized world seems to have waked up to the need of education for tiie masse*, and pro ceeds to secure it by the most expedi tious methods. In this country the means of com mon-school education have been put within the reach of 4,000.u00 negroes i who before imd no chance to learn. ' The systems ate doubtless imperfect and full of gaus as yet, but a very j good opening has been made, the ne groes seek instruction withasingular avidity, am! there will doubtless be \ enough teachers from their own ranks to take care of the reading and writ ing of the next generation. .V.

THIS < lti:i;i> OF FAKE Til VUE. I LX-COJIMISHIONEIt DAVID A, WELLS IN THE AL'OrsT ATLANTIC. The ndvoctny of protection, how ! evpr.'tneetsThfs averment, as well as the argument embodied in the coal | and Bessemer-steel illustrations above given, by sayiug that by pro j Dilating or restricting the importa ! tiori und use of foreign coal and steel Ia demand will be created for u oor ! responding additional quantity of similar American products. Tho im | mediate result of this will be that uu I additional opportunity must in con- I sequence be afforded to American I citizens desirous of following the oc cupations of coal-miners or trans ! porterH of steel-makers; and, the re sults of their labor iiinl expenditure remaining in tho country, tile nation al wealth will be thereby augmented, whereas if the same amount of labor and expenditure is diverted to, and takes place iu, a foreign country, tiie result will be exactly opposite. In answer, now, to this, it may be said, first, that the amount of consumption in tlio two instances,aud consequent ly the results of consumption, will not be the same; for whatever in creases the price of a ustrful commod ity diminishes itis consumption, and, vice versa, whatever diminishes the price increases eonsum ptlOTf necond. To admit the desirability of creating an opportunity of employing labor, through the agency of a tax on all consumers of coal and steel, to do work that would yield to the same consumers a greater product of tho sumo articles if performed elsewhere, or uu equal product at less cost, is to admit that the natural resources of a country are so far exhausted that there is ao opportunity for the truly productive employment of labor—an argument whioh, however effective iu overpopulated countries, can have impossible application in anew coun try like tho United States, whose natural resources, so far from beitig exhausted, are yet, as it were unap propriated and unexplored. Again, a tax levied in pursuance of legisla- tive eimetiiieut for the mainteuanoe of such labor is clearly in the nature of a forced charity, while the peti tioners for its enactment answer in every particular to tiie definition of tiie term "pauper”—namely one who confesses that he cannot earn a liv ing by lii,s own exertions, and, there fore, asks the community to tax themselves or diminish their abun dance for his support. Third. The only true test of the Increase of na tional wealth is tiie possession of an increased quanity of useful things in the aggregate, and not in the amount of labor performed or the number of laborers employed, irrespective of re sults. A tariil', from its very nature, cannot create anything; it only af fects the distribution of what already exists. If the impositiou of restric tions by means of taxes on iin ports tumbles a producer to employ a larger number of workmen and to give them better wages than lief ore, it can be accomplished only at the ex pense of tho domestic consumers, wiio pay increased price*. Capital thus transferred is no more increased than is money by transference from one pocket tii another, but on the contra ry itis divertedtromemployinglabor that is naturally profitable to that which is naturally unprofitable. PROTECTION IN REALITY DOES SOT PRO TECT. Herein, then, is exposed the fal lacy of the averment that duties levied on tlie'iipportation of foreign commodities protect home industry. It may be conceded that certain in dustries may bo temporarily stimu lated, as the result of such duties, aud that the producers may obtain large profits by aoonsequent increase in the price of their products; but tnen, it is at the expense of those who pay the increased price, who are always the domestic consumers. To futlier make clear this position, the following illustration, drawn from actual American experience, is submitted: For a number of years subsequent to 1800, Congress, with a view of proteclng tiie American pro ducer, imposed such a duty on for eign salt us to restrict the import and at least doublo tho price of this com modity, whether of foreign or domes tic production, to the American eon- j sumer. The result was, taking the average price of No. 1 soring wheat for the sumo period in Chicago, that I a farmer of the West, desirous of buying salt in that market, would ! have been obliged to give two bushels j of wheat for a lirrol of salt, which, i without the tariff, he would have readily obtained for one bushel. If, now, the tax had been imposed jole lv with a view to obtaining revenue, ] and the farmers bad bought import-: ed salt,tho extra bushel given by him j would have accrued to the benefit of j the State; and if the trircuinstances i of the government required the tax,; and its imposition was expedient i and equitable tiie act was not one to which any advocate of freo trade could object. But in the .case ini question the tax was not imposed ] primarily for revenue, as was shown ! by tho circumstance that imports; and revenue greatly decreased uudor i its Influence; and tho salt purchased; by the farmer in Chicago was domes tic salt, which had paid no direct or corresponding tax to the Govern ment. The extra bushel of wheat, therefore, which the farmer was compelled to give for his salt accrued wholly to the benefit of the American salt-boiler, and the act was justified on tiie ground that American indus try, us exemplified in salt-mak ing, was protected. And yet it must be clear to every mind that if the far mer Imd not given the extra bushel of wheat to the salt-boiler, he would have had it to use for some other purpose advantageous to himself to give to the shoemaker, for example, in exchange for n puir of brogans. By so imieh, therefore, as Iho indus try of the salt-boiler was encouraged, that of the farmer and the shoemaker was discouraged; and, putting the whole matter in the form of a com mercial statement, we have the fol lowing result; under the so-called “protective system” a barrel of salt and two bushels of wheat were passed to the credit of what is ealled “home industry,” while under a free system there were a barrel of salt, two bush els of wheat, and a pair of shoes. Protection, therefore, seeks to pro mote industry at tho expense of tiie products of industry; and its favorite proposition, that though under a sys tem of restriction a higher price may be given for an article, yet all that is paid by one is given to some other person in increased employment and wages, has this fallacy, namely, that iit conceals the fact that the entire amount paid bv the consumer would ! "in tiie long ruii” have been equally expended upon something and some body if the consumer had been al lowed to buy the cheap article instead ! of the dear one, and consequently the i loss to the consumer is balanced by no advantage iu the aggregate to any ! one. "When a highwayman takes a ! purse from a traveler he expends it, j it may be, at a drinking-saloon, and the traveler would have expended it somewhere else. But in this there is no loss in the aggregate; the vice of the transaction is that the enjoyment goes to the wrong man. But if the same money is taken from the trav eler by forcing him to pay for a dear article Instead of a cheap one, he is not only despoiled of his just enjoy ment as before, but there is a de structive process besides, in the same manner as if the loss had been caused by making him work with a blunt uxo instead of a sharp one. When ever, therefore, anything is taken from one man and given to another under the "pretense of protection to trade, an equal amount is virtually thrown into the sea, in addition to the robbery of the Individual.” INFLUENCE OF PROTECTION NOT PERMA NENT, BET TEMPORARY. A further conclusion, alike deduci ble from theory and proved by all ex perience, is that not only does Pro tection to a sjieeial industry not re sult in any benefit to the general in dustry of a country, but also that its beneficial influence on any special industry is not permanent, but tem porary. Thus the price of no article can be permanently advanced by ar tificial agencies without an effort on the part of every person directly or indirectly concerned in its consump tion to protect and compensate him self by advancing the price of tlje la bor or products he gives in exchange. If sufficient, time is afforded, and lo cal exchanges are not unduly re stricted, this effort of compensation is always successful. Hence, from tiie very necessity of the ease, no pro tective duty can be permanently ef fective. Hence, also, it is that pro tected manufacturers always pro claim, und no doubt honestly reel, that the abandonment of protection, or even abatement would f>e ruinous ; and in all history uototie case can be cited whore tho representatives of an industry once protected hnve ever tome forward and asked for un abate ment of taxation on the ground that protection had done its work. Un der tiiis head the recent experience of the United States affords a most curious and convincing illustration. Thus, in 1862-63, in order to moet the expenses of a great war, the Govern ment imposed internal taxes on every variety of domestic manufactures, and iti accordance with the piinciples of equity imposed what were claimed to be corresponding taxes on the im ports of all competing foreign pro ducts. Boou after the close of the war, however, when the cessation of hostilities diminished the necessity for such large revenues, the internal taxes were repealed, but in no one instance was there a protected manu facturer found who took any other posit ion t han that a repeal corres ponding-tariff would be most disas trous to his business. The tariff, ns originally raised to compensate for the new internal taxes, was therefore left, in a great degree, unchanged. That the principle here laid down, of want of permanency in protective agencies, is furthermore admitted by the protected (American) manufac turers themselves as a result of their own experience, is also proved by the following testimony, forced out un der oath beforeaGovernmetcommis sion from one of the foremost of their number in 1868—the late Oakes Ames, of Massachusetts: Question What, according to your experience, was the effect of the in crease of the tariff in 1664 on the in dustries with which you are specially acquainted? Answer TWflrst effect was to stim ulate nearly every branch, to give ail impulse and activity to business; but in a few months the increased cost of production and tho advance in the price of labor and tiie products of la bor wore greater than tiie increase of t he tariff, so that the business of pro duction was no better, even if iu so good a condition, as it was previous to the advance or tho tariff referred to.
