ALL ABOUT GEORGIA.
The State is to Publish a handbook OF
Information.

ATLANTA, March 0.-Commissionel
Nesbitt and DR.. Hunnicutt are about to
begin collecting material for book tc
be published soon. 1t is designed to be
a source of general information about
the state, for general distribution botl
at home and abroad. Letters of inquiry
are received by the dozen every day al
the capitol, and it is impossible to an
swer them. The information, in the
first place, is not at hand. Each letter
would require, usually, separate inves-
tigation, and there is no clerical force tC
carry on correspondence.
People anxious to come to Georgia te
live, or willing to invest money here
are unable to secure information, or il
at all, only of private nature, What
is needed is public bureau or source OF
information--a recognized authority
where no private interests would figure.
Commissioner James printed three such
books while he was in charge of the ag-
ricultural department. They were in
tended to direct immigration to this
state, and for general distribution. The
largest Of these was his Handbook ot
Georgia.

CHINCHB BUGS KILLED
In Dickinson County by Prof. Snow S
Patent Infection.


Patent Infection.
Prof. Shows sixth report on the
results Of chinch bug infection is out.
This report cannot fail to be read
with qualification by farmers all over
The state. 1t indicates the downfall of
the chinch bug as crop destroyer.
The representative replies printed in
this report from farmers who used the
infected bugs, but whose neighbors did
not, show that while the bug did much
damage in their neighbours fields,i it was
destroyed in their own and the crop
saved. Charles F. Moran, of Industry,
says that old bugs were numerous and
young ones overwhelming in his wheat.
The infected bugs, however, extermi-
mated them, and his crop was Is BUSH
els per acre. 1t is certain, therefore,
that Prof. Shows experiments in the
labratory saved Mr.. Moran's wheat
crop.
Dan Weaver, of Herington, is also
reported as one of the farmers who
tried the modern specific against injury
from insects and he tells similar
story of valuable aid being done his
fields by the infection. He found that
the bugs died rapidly where it was
introduced and much Of his corn crop
was undoubtedly saved.

Pointers from Our Exchanges on the
. Doings of the Day.
The Manchester Sun says, There
will be 80 more republican votes in
Flora township this fall than a year
ago."
Hope Herald: All the liars did not
die with the boom in Abilene. 4 real
estate man of that town claims to have
discovered d bed of coal six feet thick
oVerlaid with a rich deposit of ochre.
1t is presumed to be in some coal shed
with a painted roof.
Hope Dispatch: We are sorry for the
crowd that cannot find anything
against fellow only that they tried to
get him into their party and failed.
Mr.. Nottorf has sought no Office any
where. He Joined the alliance last
year but attended every republican
convention in the county as republic
can delegate. He has not been to an
alliance meeting this year. NOttorf
will be a republican clerk and don't
you forget it.
Hope Herald: 1t was decidedly
amusing to see the Abilene News do
the crawfish act last week after reading
old man Hoffman's letter pulling the
News up for its slurs at the Germans.
The News lost friends by its gross and
wanton insult of our German citizens
and the way it takes the back track is
funny, 10 be sure. In lis zeal to de-
feat the republican ticket the New is
not always wise.
Enterprise journal. The News is
trying to get the Harrington people to
bolt the republican nominations be-
cause Mr.. Lowe was not nominated
for sheriff. The people of Herington
are too sharp to allow paper that has
no political principles to dictate what
they should do.
Solomon Sentinel: The failure Of the
Hope people to make expenses at their
fair should open the eyes of the farmers
and citizens to the fact that one good,
rousing, old fashioned fair at the
county seat would do far more good
to Dickinson county than three sec
tional ones can accomplish. It's Lice
to have fair at our own doors, aud
the day may come when it may be
attained without loss, but it will be
more satisfactory at present to have a
joint venture. And let that joint
venture have a representative from
each of the six large towns of the
county, and then it will be a success.

Damages Awarded the Plaintiff
District Court Notes.

District Court Notes.
The case of VIM. Shook VS.. the Z. T..
railroad company was concluded in the
district court yesterday evening by the
jury rendering verdict for the plain
tiff and awarding him damages in the
sum of S285. Shocks claim was based
upon an experience he had in Nebraska
last winter. He started with his II
year old boy from Omaha to Lincoln.
Shook had ticket for himself but
only so cents to pay on the boys trans
portation. He rendered this amount
but as it was insufficient the conductor
refused to take it and the two were
were put off and finished the journey
on foot. The damages asked were
g, 500 of which as seen above about
one tenth was received.
Court was occupied this morning
with hearing motions, setting the
docket. etc. Cases are set for every
day next week except Tuesday, on
which day Judge Nicholson is booked
to attend an alliance picnic at Talmsge.
The jurymen have been discharged
and court adjourned at noon until
Monday morning.

FREE TRADE AND REVENUE.

4 Tariff for Revenue Only is Equivalent to
Free Trade - Opposite Conditions Must
Be Considered - "RefOrmers" Are the
Same as Free Traders.
As a matter of theory, a tariff for
revenue only is not synonymous with
absolute free trade, inasmuch as absO-
lutte free trade excludes the idea of any
sort of tariff on foreign importations,
while tariff for revenue only not only
permits, but requires the levying of i'm
port duties. However, while the two
are not Synonymous in theory, they
may be, in effect, equivalents, so far as
the nurture of American industries or
the fostering of American labor in com
petition with the industries and the
labor of foreign lands may be con-
cerned. A tariff for revenue only takai
no account of this competition. 1t
makes no provision for the difference
between two conflicting conditions-one
at home and the other abroad. On the
contrary, tariff for protection recog-
nizes these opposing and unequal con-
ditions, and, as Mr.. Randall expresses
it, no two industrial systems, side by
side, with labor in one receiving double
the wages of labor in the other, could
long exist under free trade between
them" The schedule of duties under
tariff for revenue only may be based
upon so low grade that, while bring
ing 10 the government large revenue,
it would depress the rates of American
wages to a ruinous point, destroy the
facilities for production, and drive in
vested capital, for lack of profit, out of
domestic industries, thereby surrender
ing the American market to the COM
peting products of cheap foreign labor
which would consequently pour into all
American ports
1t is this inequality of conditions, af-
tecting both labor and capital, that rem
1ers necessary to America a tariff for
protection as contra-distinguished from
tariff for revenue only; and, mas
much as the latter sort of tariff can not
squalize those conditions, it is apparent
hat tariff for revenue only is equiva-
.ent in effect, if not synonymous in
theory, to absolute free trade. At any
rate, the laborer, seeking standard of
living wages, and the manufacturer,
looking for safe and profitable invest
nent, need not pause in rejecting both
IS equally hostile to their own interest
and to the country's growth.
The protectionist democrats and the
tariff reform" or tariff-for-revenue-
only democrats, who voted for Mr..
Cleveland in 1888. are not "all to be in
1istinguishably classed as free traders"
for they do not, in fact, agree in either
principle or policy. They are wide
apart in their convictions But never
theless they alike voted for free trade
when they supported the democratic
presidential candidate last year. They
voted for free trade because they fol-
lowed and sustained leader who, de-
spite his alleged courage, was governed
by the free trade element of his party,
and who, if elected. would have put
that element in control of his admins
tration- The bottom fact is that the
majority of the democratic voters are
hostile to tariff for protection This
Is the opinion, at least, of one Kentucky
democrat whois also protectionist
