Only a few days remain until the
time of the national election. In the
doubtful states a good deal of inter-
est and enthusiasm has been worked
up, but it is to be confessed that there
is apathy in Georgia. The time in
tervening until election day should be
employed by the officials of the va
rious Democratic organizations in i'm
pressing upon the voters the duty they
owe to the party and the country of
going to the polls and swelling the
returns to good, old-fashioned proper
tions.
Because the state ticket has already
been elected and there are no con-
tests in the congressional districts that
neglecting the election. AS Chairman
Miller of the First district pointed out
i'm an address to the voters a few days
ago, there are -four presidential tick
cts in the field. one headed by a dis
tinguished citizen of this state, a man
who in the strength of past personal
and party Affiliations may lead astray
many otherwise sound Democrats"
The tickets referred to are, of course,
the Democratic, Republican, Populist
and Prohibition. 1t is necessary for
the winning ticket to have a majority
of the votes cast. who then can
say with certainty" says Chairman
Miller in view of the circumstances,
that even the rock-ribbed Democracy
of Georgia is safe for a majority vote
for its duly nominated electors p"
Doubtless great many Georgia Dem
ocrats have never dreamed OF the pos
sibility of the electors lacking a ma
jority of the votes cast. But there
is such a possibility. and Chairman
Miller is right in urging that it shall
not be permitted to become prob
ability.
state Chairman Yeomans and the
various congressional district chair
men have issued similar calls to the
rank and file of the party. and It is
TO be hoped they will prove effective.
Every Democratic congressional can
didate should be given a rousing in
dorsement at the polls, and the ma
tional ticket should have majority
like those given Cleveland and Bryan.

STANDARD OIL ON THE DEFENSIVE,

It isn't often that critic gets a
rise" out of the Standard Oil Com
pany. Usually the big trust goes on
the even tenor of it's way and leaves
the public to think and believe what
it pledses. But Thomas w. Lawson
and Miss Tarbell, by means of their
magazine articles, have succeeded in
inducing from the Standard Oil an ex-
PLANTATION as to its relations with other
corporations and politics. And the ex-
plantation is general denial. The
attorney of the company, presumably
speaking by order of the head of the
concern, says that the company has
nothing to do with politics, nor with
any other corporation, nor with the
handling of any other commodity than
petroleum and it's products. AT the
same time it is admitted that gentle
men who are members of the corpora
ton may be connected with other cor
porations. But they are not the Stand
ard Oil, and what they do should not
be charged up against that corpora
ton.
Thus, If the Rockefellers get control
of railroad or a bank, it is not the
have done the thing. If H. H. Rog-
ers becomes largely interested in cop
per stocks, that is Mr.. Rogers BUSH
ness, not the corporations. If half
a dozen Standard Oil magnates com
bine together to acquire property, they
n IND
Oil representatives. 1t is another case
of the wicked pAiSner." The Stand
ards skirts are sIw4ys clear.
Republican politicians have been at
much pains lately to show that the
Standard Oil cannot possibly have any
interest in the success of that party
In speech the other day Senator
Beverage asked: How would the OPP
position remedy of free trade in trust
made articles hurt the Standard Oil
Company? There is no tariff on oil. !"
That assertion has been frequently
made, and many well-informed persons
really believe that the oil trust en-
joys no protection under the Dingley
tariff. On this point the New York
Evening Post says:
1T is true that the tariff law I'M
poses no specific duties on oil, but Sec
ton 626 provides that in every case
where foreign country imposes a duty
on petroleum and its products, the
United States shall collect an equal
duty on these same articles. Instead
Of there being no duty on oil there
are so many duties that it takes a
stable government pamphlet to enum-
crate them. Russia's duty, for in
stance, is 1 ruble per pood, and is
equivalent in our standards to so. 002g52
per gallon. Allowing Si2 pounds to the
gallon, the unit familiar TO the con-
sumner, the rates from the important
foreign countries work out approxi-
mately as follows: Austro- Hungary.
1916 cents; Finland, IL cents; France.
SIS cents; Germany, 5.5 cents; Greece,
29 cents; Italy. 1871 cents; Netherlands.
IS cent; Portugal 27.S cents; Russia,
"a cents; Spain, 1876 cents: Switzer-
land, g cent; Canada, So cents. OF
course, in these cases we have practi-
cally delegated the power of fixing our
tariff schedules to foreign governments.
but the duties are there: and so long
as they exist 1t is idle to talk of free
trade in OIL"
