Reed,s Raid on Truth.

Ex-Speaker Reed, in his opening cam
paign speech in Maine, seems to have
tried 10 see how far he could get away
from the truth. In no particular was he
fair and frank in dealing with the new
tariff. For instance, he said:
The Republican party, in the bill of
1850, had given this country free sugar.
If there is a necessity in life, that is one,
and we had freed it entirely from the tax
gatherer
MIR. Reed knew the foregoing assertion
was not true when he made it. The Re
publican party did take off raw sugar the
duty which yielded the treasury $50, ,OOO,-
600 annually, but it put duty of so cents
per hundred pounds on refined sugar, the
kind of sugar the people use, and this
duty yielded nothing to the government,
but it enabled the sugar trust to tax the
people to the extent of many millions
annually for its own benefit. The people
were still further taxed to the extent of
Sl0,00O,000 year to pay the bounty of 2
cents pound to the sugar planters of
this country. The Republican party did
not give the people free sugar. IL simply
transferred the sugar revenue from
the government to the sugar trust.

A Campaign ofDeception.

The tone Of the republican papers in
respect to the new tariff indicates that
it is the purpose Of the republicans u
make their campaign for the control OF
/ the next House a campaign Of decentiOu.
| Their purpose is TO try TO make the farm
| ers and working people believe that the
| new tariff is hostile TO their interests.
| The New York Press, for instance, speak
ing Of the bill, says: "Never before has
such an infamous measure passed an
American congress; never before have
methods so odious and schemes so cor
rupt been devised TO forge upon American
labor the shackles of servitude TO En-
gland"
There are columns Of this sort Of stuff
in the republican papers. 1t is worthy of
notice, however, that not one of them
points out wherein the interests Of
the workingmen or farmers will suffer on
account of the new tariff. The cotton
manufacturers aud the operatives in the
cotton factories cannot find fault with
the cotton schedule. Senator Aldrich,
the leader of the protectionists in the
Senate, speaking Of that schedule said:
This schedule, which was prepared by a
number of manufacturers of Fail River,
so far as the price of cloth is concerned,
is perhaps the most scientific schedule
which has ever been prepared upon the
subject, and the committee that prepared
1t deserves the thanks of the cotton manu-
facturers of the country"
The woolen manufacturers are satisfied
with the tariff. They have free raw ma
terial. and are so confident of prosperity
that wooden mills in all parts of the coun-
try are resuming operations. 1t is even
reported that new plants are projected.
In the tin plate and iron and steel indus
tries there are increasing evidences of re-
newed activity.
The farmers have excellent reasons for
being satisfied with the bill. The cotton
planters get cheaper jute bagging, the
wheat farmers cheaper binding twine,
and all of them get cheaper clothing.
These are only few of the benefits that
will flow from the bill
What rot, therefore, is the assertion
we have quoted from the New York
Press. The republican papers are doubt
ing the intelligence of the people They
will deceive only the most ignorant.
People who read and think know that
the new tariff is not inimical to the in
terests of American workingmen.

A Prohibitionist Fish story.

This is a fish story, says the Philadelphia
Record, told by a strict prohibitionist of good
repute among his neighbors in Wissahickon:
i took my light tackle and went up to the
Wissahckon,' says the story-teller, ITO try
my luck with the catfish on Friday last I
found shady nook, sat down and cast my
line. Bites were few and far between, and
after time l reeled in my line and sat idly
watch -ng the stream. An old specked hen
on the other side OF the creek was leisurely
pattering about the waters in search of a
meal Suddenly l noticed slight disturbance
in the water a few feet below the hen. The
head OF large swapping turtle appeared
above the surface for an instant and then dis
appeared. | grew interested. All at once
there was splash, hutter of wings and a
series Of loud cackles 1he snapper had the
hens leg in its strong beak. The hen with
her remaining leg clutched the root Of a tree
overhanging the water. Then. came tug of
war. The hen was almost torn in two before
she let go OF the root. The snapper went
down, and moment later the hen disap-
peared beneath the surface"

Prospeets Of the Populists.

There are no signs that the populists
are making headway in this state. There
is very little enthusiasm at their meet
ings. aud the meetings are never large,
even at the places which are easily
reached. Judge Hines, from whom so
much was expected by the populist lead
ers. is a failure as a stump speaker. It is
reported that at Gainesville on Tuesday,
where there was the largest gathering of
pOpulists that Hines and Watson have
met since they began their campaign,
many of the audience left before Judge
Hines finished his speech. His effort
was a disappointment. The popu-
lists do not appear to take
much interest in him, and what he says
does not arouse enthusiasm among them.
Even Watson is not meeting with the sue
cess on the stump he did two years ago.
Both he and Judge Hines are devoting
much Of their time to the blacks. They
seem TO think that the black vote can be
captured without much trouble.
The republican leaders, however, are
taking no stock in the populist cause
They do not favor an alliance between the
pbpUAioLS dlu Lne IcpQDAlCduSs duu dS
long as the republican leaders hold aloof
there is not much chance for the populists
to get any considerable number of the
blacks TO Join them
Tie impression is quite strong among
the blacks that Judge Hines is not
friendly TO them and that the populists
have no use for them except to get their
votes. In Bulloch, and perhaps some
other counties, statements are being pub
lished which indicate that Judge Hines
on more than one occasion has expressed
the utmost contempt for the blacks. 1t
will not be long before the blacks
throughout the state will hear the opin-
ion the Bulloch county blacks have of
him. That opinion will have the effect
of keeping the blacks from giving the
populist ticket any support.
The outlook now is that the populists
will not poll as many votes at the next
election as they did two years ago In
that event the populist party will disap-
pear from Georgia's political horizon.

Anarchists in Florida.


From the Philadelphia Ledger (Ind).
The populists of the First congressional
district of Florida have departed somewhat
from the course pursued by their brethren
elsewhere in regard to the part President
Cleveland took in upholding the principle of
law and order during the late railroad riots
at Chicago and elsewhere. Instead of ar.
raigning him for sending United States troops
to various points where the troubles were
worst, on the ground that he was thereby
giving aid to grinding monopolists at the
expense of the laboring men. these Florida
populists boldly denounce the President for
''quelling the riots" such sentiments, OF
course, are to be condemned as being the
spirit of downright anarchy, but those who
uttered them are more honest and courage
Gus than their brethren who believe the
same way but hide their thoughts under less
tncendlary expressions. and they have more
courage and fairness than those rabld parti-
sans who gave him half.hearted, churlish
commeudation for his invincible pu1lc spirit
anu devotion to the highest ideals Of official
duty.
