Atlanta, Ga, December Is, 1881.
We have also in our possession an account
of sales from Gardner & Cepp, of New Or
leans, dated October %, 1881, for SO bales
sold for account of the Hon. d. NJ. Russell,
of Jamestown, Mississippi, with Mr.. Russelps
statement that it was ginned on our gin and
the Crowson Combined Feeder and Cleaner,
Is bales of which brought I3gc, IL bales 13c,
bales 141c, and bale 15c per pound.
VIII the Eagle Gin Company produce an
account of sales showing as high prices from
cotton ginned on their gin during this season?
With this statement OF facts we will leave
it to an intelligent public to draw their own
conclusions.
We claim that our outfit as exhibited at
Atlanta was superior to that of the Eagle
Cotton Gin Company and as an evidence of
our sincerity in this belief, we shall be glad
to have contest between their gin and ours,
fed by hand, and with the same brands of
attachments as exhibited at Atlanta, and will
put up $1,000, with the privilege of $4,000,
with the Cotton Exchange of Memphis, the
same to be covered by the Eagle Gin Com
pany, and have the test made inside of the
next sixty days, at any place agreed upon
within two hundred and fifty miles
of Memphis; one Judge to be Sc
lected from each of the following cotton
exchanges: Memphis, New Orleans, Calves
ton, St. Louis and Mobile; said judges to be
Sc -ecteQ from among tue lcaQlng cOttOn
planters in their vicinity, and the expenses
Of the judges to be paid by the party winning
in the contest.
In this contest, ginning cotton from the
cleanest to the very toughest and hulliest
cotton grown and picked or gathered in the
river bottoms The rules to govern this trial
to be: First, sample; second, turn out; third,
time; fourth, condition of seed for planting
or for market. There to be ginned not less
than one bale OF lint cotton in each test; each
gin to have the same diameter and face of
pulley, same width and kind of pulley, and
to be run at the same speed.
We have correspondence from owners of
the Eagle Gins, stating that they are troubled
in very hully cotton with the slowness of their
gin, and asking if we can and will change
their gin to our double roller and put on our
cotton-seed and hull separator attachment.
We have a customer who is also a customer
of the Eagle Company, having bought both
gins, who wishes to bet ten bales of cotton in
the above contest, that the Milburn Eclipse
Huller is the best GIN Yours truly,

Who Taxes the Laboring Man?

Pig Iron Kelly, of Pennsylvania,
recently delivered a campaign speech,
in which he said:
"We raised last year $4,000 more
than we needed, land hence the result
is the corrupt legislation of the last
session of Congress. They said
why, we have gothic money there;
it is lying dead, why not use i'll" |
answer: "ln Gods name, don't get it
inW There is u very ready answer.
If they had not taxed you laboring
men for every pipe of tobacco you
smoke, for every match with which
you light it; if they had not exiting.
uished by taxation the cheap cigars
you used to get; if they had not seiz-
ed part of your days earning from
you when you got your wife or moth
or the alcohol to put in her camphor
bottle, those S140,000000 would not
have been in the Treasury. l say
those are not only internal taxes,
but they are internal taxes"

Boosted Benefits.
Fairmont Index:

Falrmont Index:
There are today in the United
States Fifty thousand laboring men

Where are the boosted benefits to the
working classes that the Republican
party would have the country believe
they enjoy? II after twenty years of
uninterrupted power in which a pro-
tective tariff has been rigidly enfor-
ced, why is there so much want and
misery? 1t is because the system of
protection which the Republican
party has placed upon the shoulders
of the people is unjust, unequal and
thoroughly iniQuitous.

Their Friend ~
Clarksburg News:

Sl"hhouuiS NcMo'
The Republican platform adopted
at Clarksburg says that that party is
the friend of the laboring man, and
that it (the Radical party must be
kept in power if the laborer wishes
to be protected. 1t seems they have
badly managed the laborer's affairs
lately. We have a Republican Pres.
ident and Congress and yet our army
of workingmen are compelled to
strike for bread. Does this look as
though the party of assessments and
corruption funds was the champion
of the poor laborer? The workmen
