THE Supreme Issue"

In a speech made in New York
city a few days ago Hon. Adlai
Stevenson remarked as follows:
''In my judgment the tariff is the
supreme issue in this campaign.
Other questions may be of the hour
they will pass with the OCCASION
but this is ever with u.s." In this
view the distinguished Illinoisan
is in perfect accord with Mr.. Cleve-
land and other leading men of the
party who have been quoted lately.
Notwithstanding our boasted
prosperity and the individual
fortunes that have been suddenly
acquired" says Mr.. Stevenson, "the
sad fact remains that to the mass of
the people this oft-repeated boast
of prosperity is but sad mockery."
While prices of the necessaries of
life have been steadily advanced by
the trusts, the prices of labor have
not correspondingly advanced.
The trusts keep wages down in va
rious ways. Thus the dollar of the
worker will buy considerably less
now than it would four or five
years ago, and the average worker
is getting no more dollars than he
was getting then. 1t was stated in
Chicago the other day by COM
mittee appointed for the purpose of
making an investigation that in five
years the cost of living had ad-
vanced between 25 and 33 per cent,
with no appreciable advance in
wages.
"The tariff is the mother of
trusts" said Mr.. Havemeyer of the
sugar trust. High protection is
vicious class legislation, in favor of
the few at the expense ofthe many.
The fact that Democracy's great
est victories have been won on the
Tariff reform principle is sufficient
proof that this should be the slo-
gan of the party now, when tariff |
'eform is more greatly needed than
ever before.

in reference To this mat

Instead of coming to the general

cOKER FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Elderly Screven County Man CharG-
ed with Attempted Fraud.

John G. Coker. an elderly white man
and well known citizen of Screven
county. was tried in the Superior Court
yesterday for selling mortgaged prop
erty, and giving with the conveyance
a warranty of perfect title. He was
found not guilty by the jury.
The specific offense Coker was al
legged to have committed was the sale
to the Hilton-Dodge Lumber Company
Of the timber of a tract of land in
ScreVen county, warranting that the
land was without encumbrance, when
as a matter of fact there had already
been judgment against Coker, which
made lien against the land, rendered
in a Justices court in favor of Hunter,
Pearce & Battey.
Coker's defense was that he had no
knowledge of the judgment against
him, and that he had never been prop
erly served with process-that, there
fore, the judgment and execution were
void. The evidence showed he had
made a tender of the money he re-
ceived on the sale to the Hilton-D Dodge
Lumber Company, though this was
some time afterwards.
Solicitor General Osborne and Mr..
w. b. Stubs appeared for the state
and Mr.. w. F. Slater for the defend
ant. The jury evidently reached the
conclusion that Cocker was in the right,
for the verdict of not guilty. was not
long delayed by it's deliberations.
