LETTER FROM AcwoRrn.
What Prohibition Has Done for Tina
Town

What Prohibition Has Done for That
Town.
We give below letter from our
Bro. Il. NJ. Mitchell, of Acworth.-
We hope to hear from him often.
Short communications are always
received with pleasure. We need
just such help and we hope our
friends will remember it.
This letters shows that while there
were $4,000 per annum fines under
license, there are only So under
prohibition, while taxation is less,
and drunkenness, profanity and
loafng are things of the past. Read
it and be convinced:
AcwoRrH, GA, Dec. 1st, 1873.
MISUNDERSTANDING little of the
history of Acworth, on the subject of
temperance, would not be without its
interest to you.
In this, | will only compare this
wear, 1879, with 1873. In 1878
we were cursed with two places
where d7uukards were manufacture
ed. Previous to that time we had as
many as six of the manufactures in
our town in full blast at the same
time. But to 1873, during that
year Acworth paid into her treas
ury more than eleven hundred dol
lars by way of liquor license fees
and fines for drunkenness. One
third of this amount was paid into
the Treasury by persons for which
they were licensed to make their fel
low men drunk and to lead our chill
dren to vice and debauchery. The
other two thirds were taken from the
pockets of poor fellows who had fall
en- into the ST. are set for them by the
town officials.
In other words, the town authori
ties for the pirable sum of four hun
dred dollars licensed men to deal ou
to their customers the accursed rum
to make them drunk, that the towr
might fleece them of their remaining
change, thus in many instances de
priving women and children of the
necessaries of live. The result o
this, over seven hundred dollar
were taken from these poor unfortu
nate men who had only been caugh
in the trap set for them.
In 1875, we have had none o
these places, the people of the tow
having voted it out, consequently thu
treasury has not been replenished t.
the amount of dollar fsom the Ii
cense tax, neither has there gon'
into the treasury exceeding fiiIteer
dollars of fines for the entire year
In 1873 you could scarcely look on
on our streets without beholding
some victim of the wretched liquo
traffic or your ear would catch thu
sounds of some obscene lanSuag,
spoken by some intoxicated man.
In 1875 you scarce ever see an
intoxicated man on our streets and
less frequent hear the curses spoken
by drunk men.
In 1873 all the loafers of the coun.
try were lying around on our streets
In 1879 you can scarcely ever see
any one our streets, except busy
men on business.
Our streets are in as good condi
ton now as then. The property tax
is exactly the same now as them
Our street tax is one dollar less in
1875 than in 1873. We are out of
debt, and don't need the eleven hun
bred dollars blood money. In fact
we get along better Tithout it.

UNION AND AMERICAN.
FRIDAY. JULY Ie, Iszo.
HOW N0T ID ID ID.


Secretary Bristow's mad scheme of
silver resumption continues to meet
with unqualified disapprobation, ex-
cept among the subsidized organs of
the Administration. Apart from the
folly OF replacing a perfectly sound
and convenient currency by one the
purchase of which involves an addition
Of s2,250,OOO to the annual
taxes, the issuing of the
silver currency cannot possibly help
resumption. If q certain ratio Of value
cannot be maintained between the sill
yer dollar and the paper dollar during
the interval before resumption, the
silver viii 60 out of the country as
being more available for export than
gold; and, IN that case, we shall suffer
first the inconvenience Of being de-
prived Of small currency, and next
the needless burthens Of taxation
involved in buying and coming the
silver. If we should succeed IN retain
ing the silver coinage at home, then 50
much of our usual shipment Of the
precious metals Will be withheld from
export; and, the wants Of the exchanges
being infe1ible, we shall have to export
an equivalent amount Of gold in lieu Of
the silver. The success Of the
wholly needless attempt at silver re-
sumption can therefore be won only
at the expense Of driving out Of the
country about one half the sum of gold
which is imperatiyely needed for Sec
rotary BristOw's pet scheme of general
resumption in 1879. It is gradually
dawning upon the country that the ma
tional finances would not have suffered
to any alarming extent, if Bristow had
remained in the Obscurity of his Ken
lucky law-Ofice.

THE OHIO DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM.

So general an interest is felt by
Tennesseeans In the Ohio contest that
although the State Democratic Con-
ventiOn met hardly a month ago we are
already asked from various quarters to
republish the financial plank Of the
Platform. We are good-nstured enough
t. comply, only remarking that our
friends ought to keep better posted by
reading the UNION AND AMERICAN
early and often. The declarations now
making such a str IN the politics Of
the country are as follows:
That the contraction of the currency
heretofore made by the Republican
party, and the further contraction pro-
posed by it, with n view to the forced
resumption of specie payment, has al
ready brought disaster to the business
of the country and threatens it with
gcner a bankruptcy and ruin. We de-
mand this policy be abandonedand the
volume Of currency be kept equal to
the wants Of trade, leaving the resto-
ration of legal tenders with par gold
TO be brought about by promoting the
industries of the people, and not by
destroying them.
That the policy already initiated by
the Republican party of abolishing le-
gal tenders, and giving national banks
the power of an already dangerous
monopoly and the enormous burdens
now expressing the people, without
any compromising advantage; that we
oppose this policy and demand that all
the national bank circulation be
promptly and permanently retired, and
legal tenders be issued IN their place.
That the public interest demands
that the government should cease to
discredit Its own currency and should
make its legal tenders receivable for
all public dues, except where respect
for the obligation Of contracts re-
quires payment in coin, and that we
favor the payment Of at least one
half the customs in legal tenders.
The extinction Of the present nation
al banks and the establishment in their
stead Of a system Of free banks of dis
count and deposit only, under such
regulations as the States may respec-
lively prescribe, and no paper currency,
except as may be issued directly by and
upon the faith of the General Govern.

NEW ENGLAND's sCEPTRE PASSING
AWAY

AWAY.
While the Southern cotton mills are
still running on full time-though at
reduced pr0fts-it is announced that
more Of the Eastern establishments
have closed down on account Of an
over-production and inability to find a
market for their goods. This has
caused the Ne1g York Bulletin to in
quire with some anxiety into the causes
Of such an anoma Gus state Of affairs,
with a view to determining their posi-
bic influence upon the future Of New
EDgland's great industry. 1t quotes
from one Of our Atlanta exchanges,
which said recently, concerning the
prospects of the mill to be erected in
that city:
Beyond the depression IF business,
Of which mention has been made, the
Northern mills are affected more Sc
riOusly than ever by Southern competi-
ton. They are being driven out Of the
market by the Southern spinners of
heavy goods, and the time is fast CON-
ing when they must close up or come
South. In the meanwhile the cost of
machinery has fallen considerably. the
price Of labor and material is low, aud
therefore no more favorable season for
building new mills In the South could
be had. This is understood, we are
glad to see, by the gentlemen who are
getting up the new mill IN Atlanta.
They will be ready for work next fall,
by which time business will be brisk
again, and they viii be in condition to
float on the top of the tide.
The Bulletin admits that the machine
~ now purchased for the South costs
less than that of most Of the New
England mills, which was largely
bought at war prices, but says the same
is true of all mill property. In the
South water privileges, dams, millsan
machinery can doubtless all be bought
and constructed at nearly, If not quite,
half the aggregate cost of many Of the
New England mills. Beside, the
South has virtually protective tariff
on its manufacture, both on raw ma
terial and goods, in the saving in
transportation. And this advantage
it will continue to hold until
It's production exceeds its home con-
sumption, when only it can be CON-
PEELED to come into equal competition
with the mills at the North. These
facts must have an important influence
for some years to come, no doubt while
the effects may very possibly prove
permanent. At all events the DISPOSE
ton certainly exists on the part of the
Southern people to make thorough eI-
pertinent in the matter. Capital only
is wanting, and that doubtless, viii be
speedily SUPPLIED under the new era of
prosperity which is evidently dawning
On the South.
