we find the following interesting an
nouncement at the head of the editorial
columns OF the Atlanta Constitution:
IL is the habit OF some statesmen TO
endeavor to persuade customers into buy
ing something else than things asked for
as the result OF the advertising of special
ties, the advantages of which are present.
ed i'm the advertising columns OF the news
papers. Very frequently something Is Of
fered, guaranteed 20 be lust as good"
It very often happens that the store In
dulgng in this imposition makes more
money from lust as good" preparation.
but the customer is the loser. Reputable
dealers should not try TO substitute and
customers should be careful to protect
themselves by insisting upon being given
what they ask for or going elsewhere 10
get 1t.
This is good advice and we approve It
in the sense in which it IL used but we
have also been trying to follow that adj
vice IN the political world. We love the
old fashioned Jenersonian Democracy
and we applied for it ut the Chicago con-
vention in 1896. Instead OF getting what
we asked for we were offered as a substi-
tute a silver plated article with the as
surance that II was lust as good as the
genuine.
But the silver plated article wont do fol
us. We wait the original and genuine
with the ST mp or Jefferson upon 1t and
we will take no substitute.
We concur most heartily in the senti-
ment Of our Atlanta contemporary (all
save the grammar) that reputable deal
ers should not try to substitute and cuts
toners should be careful TO protect them
selves by insisting upon being given what
they ask for, or going elsewhere 10 get
IT,"
AS we could not get the pure article at
Chicago. we went 10 the indianapolis
Convention and found It. Nor shall we
exchange It for the spurious substitute
which the Chicago party Is offering.

The principles OF Democracy and OF Pop
ulism are the very antipodes of each other
and this fact is plain TO all who know
anything about the two parties. Yet we
nave seen Democracy strike hands with
PopuIIsm in shameless disregard OF its
duty to itself. IL there was nothing vi
cious in Populsm, nothing which would
hazard the happiness and liberties OF the
people. the course Of Democracy in maxi
ing this unnatural alliance would not
amount TO a crime, but when the very es-
sence of the Populists' faith is socialism,
the purpose OF which is to substitute gov
ermental action for individual enterprise,
ture, 20 adopt a system OF society which
would encourage and inevitably result in
most oppressive tyranny, TO have every
function of social existence Of an indus
trial or a mechanical kind operated by
governmental machinery. the alliance OF
Democracy with party proposing such a
programme is q monstrous perversion %
principle and a crime against society.
The recent action OF the regents of the
Kansas state Agricultural College shows
the extent 10 which this aggressive spirit
OF socialism Is going. Besides removing
several conservative professors and sub
shutting radicals. they turned out Presi-
dent George +. Fairchild and put I'm his
place Thomas T.. WIN, from whose inau-
gural address we take the following:
with slight occasional backward
bitches toward good times. society,
sinothered In It's own wealth. privately
appropriated. moves steadily toward the
swamp Of chronic hard times. marked by
general overproduction. Industrial stagna-
ton, and poverty alleyiated only by c.iar-
ity.
That such Is the trend OF modern 80
ciety any sane man capable or conse-u-
tive thought and willing 10 look about
him should be able 10 see. That in such
q state OF affairs nothing can yield relief
that does not destroy the concentration
OF ownership mot OF Industry. and trans
fer the unused purchasing power from
the few in whose hands ~ stagnates 10

Der that when you scratch a Populist

OF the socialists are towards the most OPP
pressive OF all tyrannies and are a con
slant defiance OF the very fundamental
principle OF Democracy which is the
greatest liberty for the individual and

COTTON INDUSTRY IN THE SOUTH

The growth OF the cotton industry in
the South during the past ten years has
been phenomenal In 1887 the Southern
cotton mills consumed 40l. ASP bales of raw
cotton and the Northern mills consumed
l.7l00S0 bales. In 1897 the consumption is
estimated at l,Oi2.67l bales in the South
against 1854 $50 bales at the North.
The South now has 4s2 cotton mills with
about three and half Millions spindles
and consumes about 81 per cent. OF the
raw cotton used by the cotton mills OF the
whole country. The increase during the
past ten years has been l59 per cent.
while the Increase In the Northern mills
has been only per cent, and the cotton
Industry Is still growing.
The South has been combining itself to
the coarser grades OF cotton goods. but
there is no reason why It should not also
manufacture the finer grades and with
