Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-05-29

Commissioner Stevens recon-
mendation has met the disap-
proval of the editor of the Og1e-
thrope Echo. Editor Shackle-
ford in commenting on the Com
missinoner's recommendation
says:
We have no idea that our farm
ers will, to any material extent,
take this advice of the commits
sioner. They have some COM
junction of conscience about the
matter anyway. All they want
is what the product is actually
worth at the time they put it on
the market. They don't always
get it, that is true butthey realize
ed that future selling is more re-
sponsible than any thing else for
cotton selling below it's real val
ue at market time. To encour-
age what they are so ready to
condemn would be rank incon-
sistency.
The reference of the editor of
the Echo to conscience grows
out of a misconception as to
what is bling. The farmer
who buys his land believing
that the price will be better in
the future or buys his meat in
January because he believes it is
cheaper that it will be in March
or sells his cotton on a given
date in October, or refuses to sell
as the case may be, is just as
much gambler as the farmer
who sells his cotton to be deliv-
cred next October.
1t isn't question ofconscience
at all; its question of judgment
as to whether it's the proper
thing to do or not. The iudg-
ment of the Enterprise is that
the farmer who can sell cotton
now, approximately about what
he will raise, at 9 or 915cts to be
delivered next October has got
the judgment on his side. Even
if the cotton goes higher it in
sures him a profit, and that's
what farmers need more than
conscience.

There is considerable talk of
a contest over the titles of some
of the colony lands, and tract
men east of the city are particu-

of the old rumor that the Brisbon

there is no good cause for alarm,
although the loss would fall heav-
lily on the tract owners by reason
of the fact that the warrant of

Probably many readers of the
Enterprise in the city noticed the
extraordinary length of the blast
of the whistle at the water and

last Monday. To any who
may want an explanation we

some sick people on Altamaha

power house had been re-
quested that morning to shorten
the blast of the fire whistle if
possible with the result that the
blast was several minutes longer.

We desire to notice this week
the several letters from Mr.. H.
Wettstein published in this pa
per and the Citizen recently on
the question of city taxes. Mr..
Wettstein's theories are alright.
He not only has the privilege of
investigating these matters for
himself, but it is his right and
his duty to his neighbors to pub
lish any information that affect
the common interest.
The greatest safeguard in our
system of government is public
ity.
The Enterprise believes that
the present council will find that
they have a surplus on hand at
the close of the year allowing sew
eral thousand dollars for streets
and sewers. q"
We regret that the levy was
made as high as 1 per cent.
We believe that it will be dem.
onstrated that three-quarters of
one per cent. or perhapsa smaller
levy would have been ample, but
so long as the council does not
misapp1y or extravagantly ex-
pend any of the money, we see no
special reason for complaint, al
though the taxpayers should not
be called on to pay in advance
money not absolutely necessary
for the government.-On this
theory the council has adopted
the unusual plan of dividing the
payments of city taxes into two
installments.
1t is entirely too late now to re-
consider the tax levy, as a large
part of the taxes have already
been paid.
1t is not, however, out of order
for any taxpayer to express free
ly his opinion and to criticise any
act of the city's officers, who
should be as careful and as eco
nomica1 in the administration of
the peoples affairs as any good
business man would be in his
private business.
We promise at an early date
to publish a complete state
ment from the city trearsurer's
books, showing the receipts and
from what sources, and to what
the taxpayers money has been
applied. We will do the work
gratis probably employing an ex-
pert accountant at our own ex-
pense. A pleasant duty to our
readers and patrons.

Six or eight years ago the dem

two strong factions. One be-
1ieYed that by initiating the cur
rencv of the country generally
by the unlimited coinage of silver
at the ratio of 16 to / with gold,
in particular. business confidence
would be revived and conditions
generally improved. The other
faction believed that confidence
in the money market and in BUSH
ness circles and the revival of
business and commerce could
only be obtained through a
strong policy that would convince
the commercial world that the
integrity of our money would be :
held sacred and that every dollar
should always be a hundred cent
dollar. The issue was made in
the party.
By placing all the blame for
every i'll condition on the admin
istration it was easy for design
ing politicians to mis1ead the
masses, and whether it is gener.
ally acknowledged or not, it is
true that men who hold their
personal interest above the COM
mon good adopted the doctrine
of free silver and cheap money
because they believed that they
could more easily control the
votes of the masses by affecting
to take the poor mans view of
the situation. Thus men who be-
lieved and expressed themselves
as opposed to the free silver fall
lacy went into the campaign and
advocated free silver, for the sake
of Office.
The craze dominated the party

experienced an era of phenom-

been demonstrated to every man
with the intelligence of school
boy that free silver would have
been mistake, that it was not
what we wanted; that the howl
that went up for free silver from
ten thousand stumps and plat
forms was the result of miscon-
ception, or the handiwork of
demagogues.

Organism and free silverism has
proved to be the veriest folly,
isn't it time, (even if they now
represent the strong wing of the
party for these false prophets to
take position in the rear ranks,
and allow the men who were too
honest to follow the ignus fatuus
that led to the nomination of
Bryan to take hand in the par
tvs affairs. Let's suppose that
free silverism is still regarded
as democratic doctrine, isn't it
time that leading party men who
honestly or designedly found
themselves six years ago on the
free silver side of the question to
acknowledge that they we're mis-
