our Protective Tariff Policy.
There is nothing the matter with the
protective policy of the Republican
pnrty while we continue to record
large balances of trade in our favor, as
has been the case since the Dingley tar
if was enacted, July 81, 1897. Month
after month and year after year the
l.ures published by the useful bureau
ul statistics of the department or COM
lncrce and labor show large balances
on The right side of our national ledger.
The accounts for January, 1904, and
for the seven months ending January
II the present fiscal year and for the
,Helye months ending in January have
been made up. They prove no eXcep-
tipn 10, the rule which has prevailed for
the past six and half years of Repub-
lican policies and control. The figures
themselves constitute the best argu-
n.pnt..along this line. They speak as

Sunday at the Seashore.

Commencing Sunday, June
5th, and continuing throughout
the season the Atlantic & Birm-
ingham Railway will make it
convenient for the Irwin County
public to spend Sundays at those
peerlessSeashore Resorts, Bruins
wick, St. Simons and Cumber-
land, by putting on a new train
which will run from Fitzgerald
to Brunswick and return, giving
almost the entire day at the
Ocean. This train will leave
Fitzgerald at $50 a. m. and will
arrive at Brunswick HOO a. M;
returning will leave Brunswick
at 700 p. m.
The fare from Fitzgerald to
Brunswick and return on this
train has been fixed at $500,
which is so low that it will be
within the means of everyone to
spend at least one day during
the summer at the Seashore.
A sufficient quantity of the
very best equipment will be furn-
ished so that everyone will be
comfortable. Arrangements
have been made for special boat
to connect to and from this train
for st. Simons Island. The
short boat ride will be one of the
features OF the trip.
Each of these trips will be in
charge of competent passenger

duty, by allowing Ha1sey to es-
cape, if his charges are true. We
know absolutely nothing but
hear-say and what is contained
in the mayors letter with refer
ence to his misdeeds.
AS to the mayors attitude to-
ward the A. & B. railroad, we
have nothing to say, except re-
iteration of what we have already
written. Every sane business
man realizes that nothing can be
gained by fighting this road,
which has done so much for
Fitzgerald and is today such an
important factor in our material
progress.
AS to the fact, with refer
ence to the resolution passed by
the council, extending the time
for the payment of water rent,
we believed that we had reliable
information to that effect. We
have not had time to investigate,
and cannot now state whether
such a resolution was passed.
We are perfectly willing to grant
that it was not, but still insist
that the mayors action was I'M
necessarily arbitrary.
With reference to the ward
heelers, we merely copied in the
Enterprise two or three para
graphs from an article in one of
the big dai1ies, and since it has
disturbed the mayors serenity
it would indicate that his diseased
conscience has led him to make
this attempt at defense.
He does us great credit by
stating that he understands that
we are to be the next mayor. 1t
was the first time we had heard it
suggested, and we are really
proud to have the suggestion cone
from so high a source. If he can
find another man who agrees with
him, we will agree to join them
which will make it, at least three,
although we have realized that it
would be difficult matter to Sc
cure the services of the ward
heelers as that class of citizens
is unanimously antago nistic to
the writer, and we fear they (the
heelers) will charge an unusual
price for their services.
There is nothing really objec-
tionable to us, personally, in
what the mayor has written
above, and trust that he will see
the harm he's doing himself and
the community, and make an
honest effort to give the city
better administration the bal
