A well gotten up little “almanac” of a
paper is liked by the people better than a
•clipped up blanket sheet.
It is very fortunate for 'he democratic
party that there are such men in the other
party as the vile, mouthed Furaker and the
slanderous Ingalls.
Thf. Fort Valley papers are urging the
.citizens of that town to build fourteen
banks. But, perhaps our figures are
vviong. Maybe it was more than fourteen.
Vvndeubilt’s now French cook gets
three times as large a salary as docs our
Governor. This shows how little we think
of our Governor and how much Vander¬
bilt thinks of his belly.
There : are ^33 newspapers published in
Georgia. One man out of every 6,010. in
the state is bossing a paper. This is the
main reason why wo have so many banks
in the Banner State of tlae South.
Pennsylvania may be called the home
cf striker and the hot-bed of protection,
yet every time the peop’e of that state de¬
clare themselvi s tic v endorse tariff reform
dtspitc the hard bosses of that region.
Thf. “scissors tote.r’' of the Dodge Courtly
Journal Imagines that j .let because his pa¬
per is a blanket sheet there must be a
bushel o! brains at the head of it. Then
comes nearer being a ton of fool at the
head of it.
The people need protection. They need
to be prolectsd against the rich. Thi
poor man’s pennies should buy uotaxed
breab, fuel, and clqthii.g, and the rici>
mm’s gold should pay the government lax
on vines, brandies, imported fabrics, dia¬
monds an 1 other luxuries.
Washington people are talking about
a marriage that is to come off soon in the
Inilim Territory between Miss Cora Somc
lody of that ci'y, who has been teaching
school among the royal red-skins, and a
full-blooded Cheyenne. This shows how
6ome of the Northerners are determined to
imposo upon the much abused children ol
nature.
Old bx-Govebjtob Bullock, though a
rank republican, will tell the truth theugb
it hurts his party, He has recently
knocked the spots out of the lying New
York Press by saying and proving that
the negroes of the South are allowed a free
vote at all natioual elections, Verily,
“there is honor among thieves.”
The Telegraph needn’t thow mud at
Knoxville and Crawford county because
Macon is going to lose our trade. We
have been the slaves of the Maconites, but
after the A & F. comes along it will be a
grey horse of another color. Atlanta men
built us the road, and they will gat our
trade, which amount* to about a (third df
a million of (dollars a year
Thal’sit Neighbor!
The Fort Valley Mirror repeats in sub¬
stance what we have many times said, but
cannot put any better than it lias it:
The distinctive doctrine of the Demo¬
cratic party to-day is and ought to be, a
reduction of tariff (taxation. Therefore afi,
intelligent Democrats ought to study the
question. It won’t do to say that the
question is too big for the average mind,
for it is not. We can easily understand
when a rogue or a robber steals or wrests
from us our property, and we can as easily
understand the protective tariff', for it
amounts to the same thing The protected
iron man, or cotton spinner, is allowed to
force us to pay him about 60 per cent,
more than his goods are worth in ,the
market, and the government backs him up
in the demand, says we can take no other
such goods, and at the puint of the custom
.house bayonet, we hove to sijbmit and give
up our money, or else go without the
goods.

If there is a farmer in t.Ue country why
has been reading the Costiturion and be¬
lieves iu protection as it now is, he should
read this from Mr. Turner, v\ huh appeared
in the. some time
“When the farmer rises from his bed in
the morning be quits on his common ff.iu
nel shirt, taxed 92 per cent; Ms coat,
taxed 57 per cent; his shoes, taxed 35 per
cent ; and hat, taxed 92 per cent, and
washes his face and hands in a tin bowl,
taxed 24 per cent; dries them on a cheap
'cotton towel, taxed 45 per cent. He sits
down to his humble meal and eats from a
plate, taxed 60 per ceut, with a knife and
fork, taxed 35 per cent; drinks his coffee
with sugar taxed 68 per cent; seasons his
r«d»*• <mimm ....., !»p
taxed 61 per cent, lie looks around to
his wife and children all taxed in the same
way; and even tn.e sunlight *»*, from heaven
«... w» i.,» *
through window glasses, taxed 58 per
cent ; and jet he thinks he lives in the
freest government under heaven. Then
ho starts to work ; puts on a bridle, taxed
35 per 1 cent, on his horse, add takes
lmrse i *i that . has i been i shod , .- the nails .. used , in .
sh. eing being taxed t>9 per cent, driven by
■i hammer taxed 20 pei cent, and hitches
him to a plow taxed 45 per cent; chains,
taxed 58 per cent ; and after the day’s !u
uo. is elostcl and his family aie all
ertd around lie reads a chapter from his
B hie, taxed 25 per cent, and kneels to
pray on au humble carpet tax'ed 61 per j
cent; and i hen ho rests his weary J limbs
, ,h,,t, lual 45 per c,M.
hnnself with a blanket that lias paid 104 ;
percent. Nor do tlie grasping maunfact- i
urers stop hero, bnt even the hromn with [
which his good-wife sweeps the floor is
meals are taxed 4 r per cent, and the soda j
used to lighten his bread, taxed 50 per 1
cent. Then she sits clown to her sevvin;
with a needle taxed 25 nor r °‘ cent 0 ,„d a,,c1 a A :
spool , of thread, i tax.d , , /3 per cent, to make ,
dress, taxed ;
a calico 58 per 'cent; or if she
w slies to knit warm socks to protect her [
hits' an ! and cl.ildien from the bitter e >!<’.
she uses yarn tax 120 per cent, . and , thus, ,
daily and hourly must the hard earnings
of the laborer go to satisfy the manufact¬
urer, and add to his ill-gotton wealth,”
A man from New York who was sent
to Atlanta to advertise a new kind of
noap, hired several Atlantians to help
him. The other day when one of his
men, whose , name was Williams, to
came
work a few minutes late the “bossy’' 1
yankee , abused him with his tongue
as
only a Northern boss can, and Williams
,„ r promptly gov. him . Mi™, blot,
in the mouth. The soap man had Wil
lianas arrested, hut the case wa# difl-
missed, and the Northerner told that in
the grand old state ot Georgia Williams
did the right thiug under the circum¬
stances. There are too many Southern
men given to the hahit of abusing their
employees, and who many a time deserve
a good beating that they do not get.
Thf weather, which was some days
ago very bad for this-part of the country,
was simply terrible in some of the North¬
ern states, Railroads were blockaded,
telegraph lines blown down and business
almost entirely broken up in some parts
of the country. It is now thought that
the “lion” business ot March is about
over.
