The last cotton cron will he larger thail

It is sometimes the case that a woman
is outspoken, but they are never outtalked.
The tariff ought to be improved so'that
the necessaries of life may bo sold cheaper
and all luxuries made dearer.
The Flair bill ought to be given a -rest,
and Blair, himself, should he made to rest
after operating the crank so much.
The man who can tell you exactly how
to make money, and doesn’t seem to have
much else to do, will be easy to find.
So-called Republican presidential
booms are getting to be as common up
North as blackbirds in Mississippi, and
there is about the same attention paid to
the booms as to the birds.
In the city of Minneapolis the compara¬
tive rate of divorces to marriages is one to

Northern journals if some Southern city
showed such a state of heathenism.
BrtoTiiEit Bexns, of the Butler Herald
in ad vocating protection to American in¬
dustries, writes as it something hurts him.
Ho seems to get Ins ideas badly mixed
■ when lie tackles this great national issue.
The Prohibition party uses Washing¬
ton and his wife as examples in the cause
of Temperance. It will not help the cause,
.
to have it known that old lady Martha

The export of bidis from this country
amounts to ion million of dollars a year,
and the export of woolen goods amounts
.to half a million a year. The question is
•why did not the republican government
put a duty on hides to protect the cattle
business ?
Me. Sidney Lewis, one of tbe best
writers among the Georgia press, has been
appointed private secretary to Senator Col
.quitt, and the Maccn Telegraph congratu¬
lates Senator.Colquitt. There is no stron¬
ger or more able advocate of tariff reform
iu the country than Mr. Lewis.
Should the great European war start
: about the time onr government reduces the
■tariff fifty per cent a season of prosperity
such as was never known in this country
will be the result on our side rf the water.
■The war seems inevitable and tariff reduc¬
tion is the crying need of the hour.
The farmers of the South are taxed forty
per cent on their clothiug and implements.
After working as hard as any people Under
the sun and economizing in every way- the
majority of them barely make a living.
How then can auy public citizeu or any
journal that is for the people advocate
protection ?
Senator Blair seems to bo rather fa¬
natical. To put the matter mildly, he : is
cranky. Tbe.Sonator is working on a bill
to enfranchise women, and lie is accnsed of
using unfair means for exciting interest in
his project- Blair ought to turn his atten¬
tion to something profitable and sensible.
Bills are pending in the legislatures of
New York and New Jersey, providing for
the execution of criminals by electricity.
They are getting too nice up there. The in¬
dications arc that those two states are

IIon. W. J. Noiithen, of Hancockconn
ty, President of the State Agricultural So¬
ciety, is working on plans which, if
developed, will make the society more
useful and' beneficial to the interests of all
classes of Georgians. Mr. Northen is a
successful farmer and progressive citizen,
and deserves more praise than anyone else
for the prosperous condition of the Society*
Ex-Mayor Lowe, of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
in a speech to the republican league recent¬
ly, threw cold-water on both the “bloody
shirt and the high protection hobbies of
the party. He told them that the agita¬
tion of old war issues would cause them to
lose new voters ; also that they “might as
well expect to keep the ocean at high tide
as to keep the-tariff in times of peace sub¬
stantially -what ia was in time of war ”.—Jix
It may be a source of gratification to
some people to know that the circus -show
busin ess is about to be driven into obscu¬
rity. Under the inter-state commerce law
it has become so expensive to transport a
circu-G that most ot them have disbanded
aud gone out of business There wore
forty-three circus shows traveling in the
States about two years ago, and the
amount of money they drew out of this
country was astonishing when made
knowu. Some of the shows operated at a
daily expense of $6,000, and.money mat¬
ters may be easier among the common
people.
A majority of the Democrats of the
Union and the best of the Republicans ad¬
vocate a reduction ol the tariff. At pres¬
ent the duty on certain classes of goods is
so enormous that there is no chance for
foreign manufacturers to compete with
those iu this country, and the people are
compelled to pay the prices that the man¬
ufacturers agree among themselves to
charge. In many cases they charge double
as much as they would if the taxes were
cut down ; wheu, if such were the case,
they could still undersell foreign manu¬
facturers by reason of natural advantages
which enable them to manufacture more
cheaply.than can be done elsewhere. This
great imposition in the shape of war taxes
is a blot upon the fair name of America.
Against Internal lfevenue.
From the Monroe Advertiser.
The Atlanta Constitution, wiih a few
straggling folloivcrs, the majority of whom
are monopolists, or the agents ot monopo¬
lists, is using every means to make an
aboliyion of the internal revenue. The
Constitution is uo more attached to the
theory that it advances than arc the people
of Georgia interested in it. It places its
theory before the people with all the inge¬
nuity of expression and unscrupulous fig¬
ures can present it; and yet the Constitu¬
tion cares not a cent whether the internal
revenue is abolished or not. 'Its iutention
aud sole object is to keep tho mind of the
people diverted from the issue that is vital
to then interests, and bids fair to be a bar¬
rier to tho progress of monopoly..
