The whisky Ring Must 60.

At the conclusion OF Senator Browl',
speech few days ago in suppori Of 1T
resolutions to abolish the whole interna
revenue system, Senator Beck, OF Ken,
lucky, uttered the subjoined oaustic senti
ment In his well known crusty manner:
1t may suit some Georgia moonshiners to b
rid OF the internal revenue tax, and proven
the money so realized going into the ttGasurv,
foriit all goes there, so as to impose n necessity
for taxes in such n shape that the tnree.fourth
of the money will 20 into the pockets of som
gentlemen out of the pockets OF the laborin
poor. I want TO be heard on that question be.
fore II is acted on.
Passing over for the time being the dis.
courtesy Of this fling at brother Demo.
cratic senator, and also the threat OF Sena.
tor Beck's well known free trade speech
repeated for the one hundreth time, II Is iu.
tefesting to examine the cause Of the sena-
tors irritation. II would be OF little con
sequence were t. merely a personal que'.
zion between two honorable senators, hsr
monious In the same political faith. To
county cares very little whether senate
Brown represents the Illicit distlllcrIcs
otherwise known as moonshiners, o
whether Senator Beck represents the COY
porate distilleries, otherwise known as ia
whisky ring.
The sepsi,iveness OF Senator Beck o.
this question is natural. He represents 4,
great combination OF whisky makers, who's,
monopoly was assailed by the proposition
Of Senator Brown. Hence this persons
affair becomes one Of public consequence
The whisky ring is the most highly pro.
tected "industryn In this country, an,
Senator Beck wants this protection mIin
tained, although in all other industries b.
| is frantic for free trade, The wealth an
power in politics Of the whisky ring ar,
made possible only by the revenue Law
| giving the great distillers the protection
which thousands Of officials armed witt
government authority can furnish. Tat
ring would willingly pay into the treasur'
many millions more than 1t does to have tn
protecting force doubled, and, as Senate
Beck suggests, nearly all this would b,
clear revenue. II this is good thipg, VIII!
not have 1t in its fullest?
This is fair question. 1t is easily an
swercd. 1t is not good thing, and there
fore the government should not tolerate I
at all, The machinery Of the whisky rev
enue gives life to the worst monopoly whicl
exists to poison the politics of the republic
1t breeds corruption in public and privat
life, and 1t is to day the most powerful TO
Of legitimate American industries. Tn

The Real Enemy,

The New York sun is doing a good warI,
In its fight against the power of the whisky

"the real enemyn of American Industries
and the ''greatest promoter OF free trade"
So far II is well. But the Sun. does not
go far enough The Democratic party is
the sole reliance Of the "whIsky powern

whisky power placed Mr.. Cleveland in au.

a GENTLEMAN who has just returned from
the gold mining region Of Georgia, after
making an extensive examination of the
mines, says that In the near future Georgia
will be one OF the great gold producing
states. While in Carroll county he visited
the Bonner mines, which he thinks will
alone yield fully $4,000, 900 OF the precious
metal. These mines are on tract Of land
containing over 1900 acres, and Of this hr
says fully 700 acres show traces Of gold
even IN the top dirt, while there are nun
b,r of large quartz veins yielding largely NJ
free gold. These mines he tells us ar. eX.

and none on Saturday. / then sent another
complaint. on Monday, the 10th instant, no

job. But on that morning another sample copy
of the Post was left in its stead. That evening
an agent called asking me to subscribe for the
