Atlanta Constitution.
The wayfarcr sometimes thinks thas
the tariff does not effect him, but lie
was never more mistaken. Suppose
for example, he buys a shotgun. A
shotgun with an ordinary barrel, is
worth in Europe $l.50 the house
bill pnts a tax of SIS OH such guns,
and of course the home manufacturer
adds that much to his price A shot
gun with laminated steel barrels can
be bought in Europe for about 40 shill-
ings. or $40 The house bill places Il
duty Of SIS On such guns. $l2 so
vii! buy in Europe, shotgun with
Damascus steel barrels. Mr.. KELLEY
and his associate conspirators say that
such guns shall pay duty Of SIS
apiece. An Englishman buys, in 9th
er words, good shotgun for from $40
to $l5, while citizen Of this country
would, if the house bill becomes law
have to pay for similar gun from $50
to $50 This is about the size of any
tariff on the basis of projections sake.
Very little Of the differences in the
prices of shotgnns would 60 Tito the
treasury, but the money would be ia
ken from the men who buy shotguns,
and if traced to its destination would
probably be found in good part in the
palaces of gun makers who are just now
so much troubled over the welfare of
the laboring man aud the condition of
the country.
Shotguns are ouly an instance.
What is true about them holds good
wien man buys pocket knife. A
Rogers knife that is worth So in En-
gland is worth here $3.50 or more
likely 81. The duty is so per cent
al valorem. This duty is used as a
SHELTER to pat upon US inferior knives
at an exorbitant price. We are bIed
at every turn, and the money forced
from US does not 60 to public use as
the constitution alone contempIates,
but to provide bountics for the men
who are schening day aud night ex-
tentions Of the portions of the system
If robbery which fit them.
The Dawson journal., 1883-02-08
EVERY WORD TRUE.

A great drawback, as we con-
ceive, to the farmers Of this
country is that many of them try
to do more than they are able to
do. II a farmer can run one pillow
on a cash basis it is better to do
that than attempt to run two on a
credit basis, and this holds good
with any number of plows. For
instance a man runs ten plows and
buys about half of his provisions
at credit prices in order to get
through the year. 1t would be
infinitely better were he to sell
three, four or five Of his mules, let
his lands rest and grow up in
weeds, and run the remaining
number Oh Il cash basis. It is
hard, however, to get our people
to belive this, and, really. we have
but little hope of ever seeing our
country III a better condition so
long as the credit system prevails.
If a farmer is able to buy his
fertilizers and pay the cash for
them, or his bacon for his hands
and pay the cash for that, then, he
may have some hope of making
some money, but 50 long as cred
it prices are kept up and every
thing that is used on a farm
bought on time by paying from
Is to 50 per cent for the privilege,
it is all folly to talk ABOUT clear
ing a dollar. We don't believe
any man i'll the world can keep up
at it. He must either abandon
the credit system or prepare in tie
course Of time to have his land,
mules and crop sold at sheriff S
sale. The man who has the firm
ness and pluck to pass though the
present year without buying a
nickle's worth of goods ON cred
1t is the man who bids fair to be-
come Independent and free.

A HAPPY VIEW.
MEssRs. EDITORS:

MESSRS. EDITORS:
A few years since, and the pros
poets of our country were dark
cloud OF sable gloom overshadow-
ed it, and the hearts of our citizens
were Respondent. Time in it's
onward course has wrought q hap
Ply change, clouds and darkness
have departed. The sun of pros
perity shines brightly, and the
hearts of our people are strong,
hopeful and bouyant. A benef-
cent Providence has blessed our
land, the untiring efforts, industry
and perseverance Of our noble
yeomanry, aided by "Him in
whom they trusted" have con-
quered the difficulties, surmount-
ed the opposing barrier, and with
true heroism, undaunted courage
and zeal that knew no failure;
have triumphed, and are now re-
warded with the rich fruition of
5heir cherished hopes. To-day
we are free" want and restitution
does not bow us down, poverty, but
stimulates to honest effort, and
with manly hearts, and invinceble
wills, our citizens will go on con-
quering and to conquer.
We have right (and with graf
itude we cherish it, to anticipate
bright and happy future for our
country; the signs of the times
portend it, and the intelligence,
morality and religion Of our citi-
zens, all make it most certain. Let
us then as good citizens of oul
loved Terrell, molly resolve to dc
our duty, help one another by
precept and example, exemplify
what is good and proper and right
that as we are now, 50 may we be
in the future, the thankful anC

EMORY SPEER.

AS everybody had right to
expect, Emory Speer, the defeat
ed congressman from the ninth,
has turned up in the radical
camp, For a number Of years
past he has been petted by the
administration with the appella-
ton Of the young Independent
from Georgia" until at length he
has been completely won into the
affectionate embrace of the most
stalwart of the party. On the
tariff, he moves hand in hand with
the EXTREMIST of the band, and
only once has he felt it to be tc
his interest to vote with the dem.
ocrats. But Emory had his
price, and at last the sale has been
made. For his fidelity to the radi.
- administration he Is t. receiyl
the Office of district attorney Of
Georgia.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
From almost every town in
Georgia we hear Of one or more
failures i'll business. Notwith-
standing the fine crops Of last year
business has been more prostrat-
ed i'll this section, at least, than
Tor several years past. 1t seemed
at first, from tie large cotton crop
that was made, and the high prices
which obtained in the early part
of the Season, that our farmers
would be able to pay their debts
promptly, thus relieving the mer-
chant and have a surplus Of cash
left. But such has not been tho
case. There is less money in the
country to-day than for several
years, AMI why it is so We think
there exists several reasons. We
think likely that many Of our far
mers were 80 eIated at the large
crop and the fine prospect of high
prices in tho early part of the sea-
son that they spent their money
rather too lavishly before they
finished paying their debts. An
other reason, many farmers of
doubtful integrity seeing their
corn cribs and bins filled with
grain felt 10 necessity for paying
their deb in order to obtain
credit for lnother year. Having
made an abundance Of braadstuffs,
they felt just like they never would
want anything else on credit, and,
therefore, if they could avoid pay
ing their honest debts it would be
Just so much cash III their pockets,
and thus the merchants who sold
them goods on time had to 60
without their money. The truth
is, and it can't be denied, that our
merchants have been in terrible
stress for money, and the only
wonder is, that more of them have
not failed in business. The only
safe plan that can be adopted is
the cash system, and we would
delight to see the merchants Of
South West Georgia in particlar
adopt it. It would be best for
the merchant, best for the farmer
and best for the country.
