A SHAMEFUL PICTURE.

We do not wonder that Rev. Mr.. Tai
mage, the New York Times, and other
authorities in respectable circles" are
beginning to be startled at the rapid sue.
cession of colossal railroad combinations
which have fastened upon the homes and
throats of the people of late. Thirty six
million bushels of grain are now lying
blocked up in New York, waiting for
shipment, but the extortion of transporta-
ton monopolies has crowded up prices to
figure which destroys its sale abroad.
Over 900 ships line the docks in idleness,
ready and willing to load, but the high
prices forbid; while the news comes that
some 600 ships lie in the harbor of Cork,
almost in sight of famishing people, but
can not dispose of their cargoes at the
ruinous prices which grain syndicates and
railroad monopolists have enforced upon
dealers.
Chicago is blockaded with sixteen
million bushels of wheat, and the same
state of things is true of all the great
Western channels of traffic. The Chicago
Tribune tells the farmers plainly that they
might Just as we'll LET their grain rot in
their cribs as to turn it over to the rail
roads, by attempting to pay the outra-

While Ireland is furnishing for food, the
Western farmer is leaving his corn to rot,
or burning it for fuel.
How long will a free people submit to
such denominations? Do working people
propose to see these things go on till their
children shall inherit the notwithstanding
| wretchedness of Ireland? These thieves
propose to gobble up, and swindle, and
bulldoze the masses in the coming Presi-
dental election. Have the working peo-
pie not the intelligence and manliness to
organize for self-protection? California
has shown what is possible, when the
people present solid front to monoPo-
lists and robbers. 1t is time the people in
every State were astir, before the plans of
these railroad, food, and fuel pirates shall
become so fortified in law and legislation
that nothing but bloody revolution can
uproot them.-IriSA World.

The Republic.
New York SUM-


Mr.. OCOnor's remarkable letter
to the Essex County Democratic
Club has been extensively publish
ed and discussed, but We have yet
to hear of the Democratic journalist
or citizen who agrees with him
either in the conclusion that II is
impossible to elect a Democratic
President, or that our present IN
situations are worn out aud worth
less.
These institutions had stood the
test of a century and borne the
strains of intrigue, corruption, and
civil war. They seemed TO be
founded upon the rock. The storms
beat upon them, but never shooK
them. Our fathers went TO sleep
in the firm belief that they were
: the best sgeg devised by man, and
political sctlaents, not less than suf-
fering people, the world over, look.
ed upon the experiment as crowned
bv assured success. But in 1876
came the Great Fraud, when a
President was put in office against
the declared will of the people
and now it is proposed to follow up
that deadly blow by making a snc-
cessful soldier President for a third
term.
Like Mr.. OConnor, we see that
the moment of supreme peril has
arrived but unlike him We believe
that the republic-this republic of
Washington, jackson and Lincoln
will survive. The people will
avenge the fraud of 1876 at the
polls, and rebuke the new cOnsplr-
acy by majnrities so overwhelming
as to bear down every form of re-
sistance, whether 1t be force. fraud
corruption, or all combined, by
which the plotters may attempt to
stem the tide.
But nobody desires to replace
with the schemes of dreaming re-
cluse the fire-tried Government
erected by our forefathers to secure
to themselves and their posterity
the blessings of liberty. 1t is still
perfect in all it's parts. and still
strong, in the sense of being held
sacred in the popular heart. We
want no other and will have no
other. 1t needs only to be honestly
administered TO ensure peace, JUS
tice and tranquility TO all it's citi-
zens; and MIR. O'COnor will serve
his country best by joining Us in
the effort to turn out the r0gues by
an old fashioned appeal to the vir-
tue and intelligence Of the people.

Augusta, Georgia, has six cotton
factories in operation, one is in course
of building, and capital is being rails
ed for still another, the last to have
$4,000 spindles and to cost 100000.
The six factories used last year 40, 900
bales of cotton, their products being
worth 100000. Cotton mill stocks
there are quoted at S1.20 to S1.3O.
Last year the mills paid ten to twelve
per cent. dividends, and put away
handsome sums in their sinking funds
for extensions. The new $4,000
spindle factory will add to the popula-
ton of the city at least 5000 souls,
and will pay to employees $4,000
annually. These mills make, besides
what they consume, market for
10000 bales of cotton, which re-
