The birds are singing on every bouRh.

Trees are dreaming Of rusting leaves
And have dream-God make it true T.

And reapers singing at dawn Of day.

Plenty, both man and beast TO feed

Into the fields the soft spring morn,
Sowing the seed with glad content,
Singing, white sowing the good seed. corn,

General John B. Gordon.

The politics of Georgia are now
very much mixed. It seems the
Democratic party there has become
so large that it has broken in twain,
and as if not satisfied with mere
scrambles for Office between the ms
and outs, the contest is waxing so
hot that the regulations of Georgia's
most distinguished men are being
assailed, and even the personal in.
tegrity of'Gen. John B. Gordon has
not escaped the attacks of some of
his fellow-citizens.
Well, we know but little of Geor-
gia's local politics, or of the causes
which have divided its people and
stirred up 50 much unseemly rancor
and bitterness, and, perhaps, what
we may write will reach the eyes of
very few directly interested, yet we
wish to put on record our protest
against these aspersions upon the
reputation of Gen. Gordon. Geor-
gians ought to realize that General
Gordon is not their exclusive proper
ty, but that his reputation is dear to
all those now surviving who once
"wore the gray.o People that do
not live in Georgia will not readily
listen to or credit, any charges
against him, and those who assail
him will likely be condemned by the
country at large. To put the point
sharply: Georgia ought to honor her
most eminent, and, so far as the
world judges, her most deserving
citizen, for if Gen. Gordon cannot
be trusted, people might come to
the conclusion there was very little
in the State worthy of regard by
honest men.

A Tariff for Revenue Only.

The honest stand taken by the
Democratic party in behalf of a
"tariff for revenue only" brings
prominently into the present can
vass an issue which, though an old
one, should be kept alive until the
infamous system of protection to
Eastern manufacturers, at the ex.
pense of the producers of the South
and West, is broken down forever.
For twenty years now the Republi.
can party has been fostering aud
building up, under the name Of pro.
lection to home industries, huge
monopolies in the manufacturing
districts of the East. This system
of protection by levying heavy du-
ties upon all goods of foreign manu-
facture shipped to America, has cost
the producers of this country untold
millions of dollars, all of which has
gone into the pockets of Eastern
manufacturers. This tariff duty ex-
tends to almost every necessary of
life: and all implements of husband
ry. The agriculturalist pays this
tribute to Eastern monopolists by
paying moro for the pillow with which
he turns the soil, the shoes that pro.
tect his feet, in fact, by paying more
for every article he uses. 1t is true
it is not direct tax collected by the
tax gatherer, but it is nevertheless a
tax he must surely and continually
pay.
The Democratic party comes
sqnarely up and in its platform pro-
claims that it's accession to power
means a tariff for revenue only
Democratic supremacy means the
wiping out of the high protective
tariff levied in behalf of Eastern
manufactures. It means that the
markets of the world shall be thrown
open to the American citizen; that
all nations shall be invited to a free
exchange Of commerce with our
country. 1t means cheap clothing,
cheap hardware, cheap machinery,
cheap everything upon which the
tariff burden now rests.
The Democratic party is the only
party that proposes to lift this bur.
den from the shoulders of the pro-
Queer. The Republicans declare in
favor of continuation of the sys-
tenn of protection, and the Green.
hackers dodge the important issue.
There should be no difficulty in de.
Gliding which party should receive
support upon this great issue in the
South and West.
