What fate would befall our miners
when fleets of ships would come from
England and Switzerland laden with
free coal? What would become of the
woman operatives in our factories,
when free domestics and prints
come into our market free OF duty from
the hands of the pauper labor OF
Europe? Did you ever contemplate
what suffering and want lies in the
train of free trade which Grover
Cleveland would foster upon this coun-
try? God forbid that the time should
ever come when our industrians shall
be brought in direct contact with free
goods, free trade and the pauper labor
of Europe.
Take heed, ere it is too late to work!
See to it, wage-sisters of America. that
your husbands, sons and brothers are

overthrow of an Administration that

starvation to thousands if longer per-

To the wage-women Of this country
it is not 2 question of Democracy or

RTAn exchange fishes from the
census returns the following sug-
gestive item: "In 1860 the total
number of farms in the country was g.
O44,077, averaging in value S1,565,
while in 1880 there were 4,00S, 907,
showing an increase of 81 per cent. in
the value of farms, and nearly 100 per
cent. in the number of farms" That
does not indicate that the robber "war
tariff" has born very heavily against
the agricultural interests of the coun-
try.
B6-In a letter to a Washington cor
respondent received a few days ago,
General Harrison assuages the for
mer's Indignation over the circulation
of the dollar-a-day falsehood by
the Democratic organs in this pro-
fessedly educational" campaign by
saying: HAS it not occurred TO you
that, in this matter about which youe x
press surprise, our Democratic friends
are only illustrating that which has so
many illustrations in their manage
ment, namely, their low estimate of
the intelligence of our people?
B1The difference between precept
and practice in the Cleveland Admin
istration is in no case more strikingly
illustrated than in the free loan of
S65, 600 600 of the public funds to
favored National banks. The banks
to be thus accommodated were selected
by the Secretary of the Treasury at
his pleasure. No interest is required
on the loan. In addition to receiving
these large sums free, and which they
in turn loan to their customers at
market rates, banks receive from the
Treasury the interest on the bonds
which they deposit to secure the loan.

WELCOME THE NEW YEAR
1887 DIES PEACEFULLY AND 1898
STEPS IN.


The City's Quiet Greeting TO the Young
Twelvenonth-- The Ways in Which
1t Was Welcomed Watch-Night in
the Colored Churches-Ho To-day
VIII be Kept.
The old year went out quietly last night
with the last stroke Of twelve from the Ex-
change dock, and 1888 stepped gayly in. A
wheezy horn or two and the ships bells
along the whaIves welcomed the young
year, but that was the only public welcome
it received Up in the city the streets were
rs quiet as on any other night.
There were few late-outs who meant to
see the last of the old year. They hung
around the street corners aud barrooms
until midnight, when the bars closed, and
then they went home. There was no hurrah,
and 1888 came in as quietly as 1887 went
out.
To-day being Sunday there will be no
calling and the only New Years observ-
ances will be in the churches. Most of the
pastors viii preach New Years sermons,
and hundreds of resolutions will be made
only to be broken before the year is a week
old
The hours that witness the departure Of
the old and the birth of the new year, OF all
other occasions, is the night of all nights
among the colored Baptists and Methodists.
They gather in their churches and engage
in singing, praying and exhortatiOns, which
is kept up until the morning hours.
By 10 o'clock last night most of the Sa-
vannah churches We're crowded. st. Phil
lips church on New street was packed.
Several colored divineS occupied slightly
elevated rostrum. and from 10 O'Clock until
II the time was occupied in singing and
praying. The religious fervor of the people
began to get worked up after a few
songs, and when the city clock
struck the hour of T. the entire mass of
humanity opened on song which had for
its only words Happy New Year" There
were about six weird bars to the air, and 1t
was sung in a measure that would have be-
trayed a wording into a stately valsou-
vienne. Keeping time was the hand-shak
ing clapping of hands and swaying bodies
of the people. Gradually the varsouvienne
quickened into waltz time, and
the swaying bodies and clappng
hands likewise got liyelier. A smile was on
every face, and it was evident that the heel,
of the watchers had caught the infection Of
the music. Still the measure qUickened,
and soon it went into a rollicking gallon,
with regular double shufiles
"bg -ball-intownn hurrah. This song
was kept up for some time. Every
one felt obliged to take the rounds of the
densely packed room, and when he emerged
covered with perspiration, clothing disar-
ranged and voice hoarse from long singing
and shouting his place was taken by a new
conner

The great reputation which our Pianos
possess, owing to their intrinsic superiority, has
induced every Piano manufacturer in the United

Europe to initiate the improvements introduced
by u.s. The system of which we have been the
founders, created such a Juror among artists
and conuOScurs in Paris, at the Exposition in
1857, and was houOied in such u pre-emnently
distinguished manner, that, in cOntradistinctiOn
10 the accepted method OF Piano manufacture

American System" Foreign makers VINO

Chickering system tine American System) and
many have announced some Of our Well-known
principles. which We had employed for years, as
being original with them. Fortunately, the
misrepresentation and fraud thus practiced
have only resulted to our advantage, as the
curiosity of the purchasing public has been
stimulated, buyers have Investigated these frau
dulent CLAIMS and have thereby discovered not
only their true character but also the fact that
every vital point in the construction of the per-
feet Piano of to-day has been the original and
exclusive work OF Chickermg Il Sons.
The great perfection which we have attained
in the construction Of our Piauos has, TO very
great extent, been owing 10 the fact that the

The Old County Jail About to Yield
Up the Ghost


The handsome old jail, with its turrets,
merlons and embrasures, is about to disap-
pear. 1t has served its purpose for forty
three years. and for the time in which it
was built it was as well adapted to the
necessities of the county as any similar
building in the country. When il was
erected it was far distant from the built-up
portion of the city, but it is now in the
midst of the most desirable part of it,
The Jail has been a perennial source of
many unfavorable reports from the Grand
Juries of the courts, many of them unjust
for the reason that what was complained of
were not radical defects in the structure.
This might have been remedied. The old
building, however, was doomed, and after
years of complaining the peoples voice
prevailed, and it was decided to build new
jail That building Is now completed and a
part of the Jail lots have been sold, and the
old building must give way to handsome
residences
The land, however, on which the old
prison proper stands will not be built on,
but they viii be part of Howard street,
which is TO he opened through to Gwmnett
street The buildings and fences are to be
sold as they stand and bids on the same will
