ATLANTA, Ga, April, 1889.
We cannot get along without the
visits of the friendly, peaee-inspiring
Neighbor. I find in 1t more real profit
able reading, for the length Of its
columns, than in any other paper. It's
special mission being Peace, we.
search for the sweet morsels which
encourage and cultivate this particular
virtue.
We went out to West View Cemetery
one afternoon recently. 1t is lovely
place, embracing seven hundred acres
including the battle grounds where
the two armies met, about three miles
outside the CITY, of Atlanta. While
standing on hill and viewing these
grounds over. the thought was more
convincing than ever, how cruel and
barbarous is war! How much better 1t
would have been, to make peacable
settlemet of those difficulties. There
are the old breast-works thrown up,
first by the Confederates, then the
Federals getting possession of the
grounds, cast up intrenchments the
opposite way; the entire line extern
ing from the Chattahochee, across the
country thirteen miles, its bare, red
surface continual reminder Of war
times. AS we stood on the heaps OF
dirt raised by the conflicting armies
what varied scenes passed through our
minds-"Two armies covered hill and
plaip"-the winding streamlet gliding
peacefully along, while these hosts
harbored feelings Of animosity towards
each other, endeavoring by every
means each to take advantage Of the
other. The side which would slaugh-s
ter most, would claim the victory.
Every child now kows the results Of
such engagements. Our beloved :
South suffered more than can be told
from depredations, and loss to property
and the sacred lives of her sons. There
on those hills, numbers untold were
slain, scarcely receiving decent burial,
but few whose names are. known.
There is an organization here known
as "The Blue aud Gray endeavoring to
gather up the bones and fragments
around, keeping them with the view
Of erecting monument more than 200
feet high on commanding eminenee,
and when the corner stone Is laid,
they intend putting in these crumbling
remains of unknown soldiers from
both sides. But for this cruel war
these very men, most likely, would
have been living to-day, receiving, and
enjoying earthly blessings as bestowed
upon others. AS we were returning,
we chatted with gentleman who was
in Sherman's army, and fought on
this very field, he said. 1T Is ali over
now; we've laid aside our differences,
and no longer hold enmity against
each other. There were small forcss
on the other side, but they were game,
and it was no child's play to oppose
Them"
All are willing to pay tribute to
the valiant dead, but, while this is
commendable, it should be the upper
most tho'ts in our minds as civilized
nation, to Danish all possibility or
inclination to war. Let US have peace
at home, abroad, and everywhere;
peace with mankind proclaims peace
with God. ~

thoroughly discussed, not clone durias

calcium Night Of investigation has beer
thrown On the trust business as whole
and manyifestures of the system broueA'
to view shst'have been heretofore KEEP
concealed from the knowledge or even
the observation Of the general public
This system OF vast "combinee," fol
the purpose OF controlling the prodac-
ton end prices of commodities
that enter into the daily life
and necessities of the people, has
grown to enormous proportions far
greater than the average citizen has any
idea of. There are all sorts Of trusts and
what is Eost significant and impor ant
is that their operations are almost alto
gether iR.erticles. of necessity. They are
not operated for any other purpose thsn
to promote the financial interests Of the
men whoacontrol them, the people, the
consumezs, are the last ones considered.
II the production OF any article or coEi-
modify is SO large as 20 cause competition
to degree that will lower prices beyond
what the holders of trust certificates
think they ought to have or can get, the
trust proceeds to cut down production
and put Up prices. If opposition is made
to this policy then capital combines to
"freezs outs and crush those
who we1ld make competition and
lower prices possible. This is
practiced without any conjunction or
concealmsnt. "A strong feature of the
Mills billis that II it ever becomes law,
it will render these huge combinations OF
capital, In the shape Of "trusts," almost
next to impossible. II the bill is defeat
ed, the people will still have the benefit
Ut the discussion, and will have their eyes
opened to what the numerous trusts are
doing to rob the consumer. The trust,
