SUGAR PLANTERS And THE
TARTEE

The movement Of the sugar planters
Of Louisiana, in organizing themselves
and uniting with the party which they
have fought for the past forty years,
ought to serve as a warning to all politL-
cal parties TO let the tariff alone in the
future. These sugar planters claim that
the government has broken faith with
them. They say that when they were
granted q bounty on their product they
had reason to expect that it would be
continued for at least fifteen years On
the basis of this expectation they made
large investments and borrowed consid-
cradle sums for that purpose
In forsaking their life long political
principles, on account of q neglect Of
their personal affairs, they have estab-
lished a precedent which is likely to be
followed by the representatives of other
commercial interests in the future
should there be any further
tinkerinR with the tariff. If the
business of the country is permitted
to do SO it will adjust itself in time, TO
the present tariff law, bad as it is.
The monetary affairs of the country
need the attention Of the law makers just
now, and should be adjusted sound
business principles. We need an Amer
can system of finance, based on the re-
quirements of the whole people and not
on traditions or experiences Of other ma
tions that have little in common with US.
When the fathers framed our constitu-
ton they did not follow precedent They
were governed by the conditions that
surrounded them. The American peo-
pie have made progress in everything
buf financial rnaftara and vvhv not in
them. The time has arrived to fling
away the traditions OF Europe and estab-
lish a financial system Of our own. The
first step is the free coinage Of American
silver at a ratio Of Is to /.

THE NEW PRETENDER
THE DUKE OF ORLEANS, SON OF THE
LATE COUNT OF PARIS.

He has Always Understood That il His
Fathers Claims TO the French Throne
Failed He was Himself to Claim IN His
Turn.
He is IS years old now, is the Duke
Of Orleans, and all his life he has been
taught that. as in his family is consoli-
dated the blood Of both the Orleans and
Bourbon houses. the head of that family
is by divine right entitled TO reign over
France. His father, the Count of Paris,
claimed the French throne before the
son was born, and it has always been
understood that if the fathers claiming
failed to win it then it would be the
right and duty of the son to go ahead
and claim it for himself. The duke is
named after the last legitimate occu-
pant of the French throne, his full
name being Louis Philippe Robert, and
from all accounts he has sedulously
striven to earn the right to be spoken of
as a typical prince Of the blood royal in
his tastes and training.
The Count Of Paris married his cous-
in, the Princess Isabella, daughter of
the Duke of Montpensier, in 1867, and
the baby that was to be known as the
Duke Of Orleans was born two years
later. As the parents were then in ex-

WITH an accumulated stock Of gold
sufficient to supply the arts for the next
sixty years, how much would gold be
worth if it was everywhere bereft of its
money functions? 1t would not be worth
twenty cents an ounce.-Spring Hill New

The editor of the New Era is to be

Populist or fool. There are no money

The Spring Hill New Era has
the right idea We do not know
the paper, or what its editors

gold were not used for money, it would
depreciate in value as rapidly as silver
has BY being demonetized. It's use aside
from a money metal is very small.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.
Necessities Which are Most Popular
Just Now.

When Christmas comes the average
family begins to calculate about that
turkey the very first thing. 1t is one of
the most important features OF the butch
er's business to be prepared to furnish that
turkey. Never in the course OF the whole
year does he take such an interest in the
special details Of his business. For months
the enterprising butcher Of the Savannah
market, H. Logan, has been making ar
rangements for the grandest display of
turkeys, ducks and poultry that has ever
been exhibited in this city during the holi-
days; orders must be left at any time dur
ing the next week, and selections will be
made TO suit the customers and every fam
lily Will be promptly supplied with just
what they want. The market house is
convenient, being open from a. m. till
II, and on Saturday all day. while at all
hours the telephone No. CSC will transmit
orders, which will be faithfully filled to
the satisfaction of all patrons. There is
no establishment in the city which keeps
finer line Of beef, poultry, pork, fish
and game than II. Logan. the popular
