THE TAKIFF AND COST OF living

1t is impossible for the republicans
to disguise the fact that the trust era
is synchrOnOus with the present tariff
law. which so layishly protects those
special interests at the expense OF the
American people. No one has ever
heard of our manufacturers selling
their products abroad cheaper than at
home until the tariff was increased be-
You'd the high rates. of the Mckinley
bill to purposely protect the manufac-
turers from foreign competition. There
were some trusts before 1897, but they
were feeble infants compared to the
vast combines that now control our
markets. There are now l6S trusts
that enjoy direct tariff benefit,
and there are 80 other trusts that bene-
fit to some extent. To these giant cor
pOrations must be attri 5uted the enOr-
nous increase in prices through the
protection granted them in the tariff
law. Dun's index figures, which are
published in the United States statis-
tical abstract of 1895, page 54l, show
that in July, 1897, the necessary arti-
cles consumed on the average by each
individual cost S72. A., whereas on Jan
uary l, 1895, those figures had increas-
ed to $l04. 45 and are now sos, or A
per cent higher than in 1897. Thus, il
now takes $l.47 to buy what cost 81 in
1897. And yet President Roosevelt
and the republican leaders stand pat,
and propose if they have Il majority
of the next congress to continue to
stand pat"

STANDARD OH HOCus POCUs.

The Standard oil company has been
indicted for violating the law prohib-
iting rebates, but no individual is to
be punished, The corporation may
be fined a few thousand dollars, and
the price of oil put up a cent or two on
the gallon. That's all. The people
will pay the bills. If the men guilty
of the nineteen separate otfenses
charged in the indictment were prose-
cuted and sent to jail, as they should
be. the people would have less to pay,
and less cause to complain of favor
itism in the administration Of justice.
If there were democratic president
the criminals would soon be serving
their country in striped uniforms, and
there would be no such actual lustiti-
cation of the socialistic propaganda.

IS TOP HEAVY.

The top heavy government of the
Philippines that the republicans have
erected is breaking down of its own
weight, from sheer inability of the in
habitants to pay enough taxes to sup
port it. Either the people of the Unit
ed States will have to pay part of the
local expenses, added to the present
taxes they pay for the army and navy
employed there, or we will have TO give
the islands up to the Filipinos to do
what they like with and virtually ex-
tend the Monroe doctrine there to pre-
vent any foreign nation from Cypress

DESERVES A BIG VOTE.

The people of Terrell county ought
TO give to Hon. a. NJ. Raines today
their rousing support for judge OF the
superior court of the Pataula circuit
While there is every indication that
his majority in this as well as the 9TH
er counties of the circuit will be a
handsome one, his friends and neigh
bors of his home county should make
the vote 5 nearly unanimous as they
can. This is a compliment Judge
Raines amply merits. He has fully
proven mis- ability as a jurist, and is
Woodworking, painstaking and con
scientiouS.
Besides, it would be of immeasura-
BILE benefit to the people of the county
to have the judge of the superior court
located in Dawson. Those who have
business with the court would be saw
ed a great deal Of expense if the judge
were in easy reach.

duty by their home candidate today

THE COMING JUDGE"

From the Blakely Reporter.
Since our last issue Judge Raines
has been shaking hands with the boys
in Early county, and seems very conf
dent of his election. There is no doubt
that if A. M. Raines is made judge by
the voters at the general primary we
will have as good judge as sits on
the superior court bench OF Georgia
Starting out in life with absolutely
nothing he has obtained an education
and made a financial success, too, by
honest work. He is one of the few sue
cessful business men who have never
had a mortgage held against him.
In his habits Judge Raines IS a tenn
perate man, guarding his actions and
conduct at all times from the high plane
of an upright, honorable gentleman
AS a lawyer he has delved into
the intricate details of law until he
ranks with the best at the bar OF our
state. Many of his brothers at the
bar who are for his opponent in the
race will testify from actual experience
as to his splendid legal ability.
AS Judge of the city court of Daw-
son he has served the people of Ter
rell county wisely, impartially and
Justly, managing tne coufG suoSoo9
fully and satisfactorily as we'll as from
a judicial standpoint.
If ne is elected judge of the Pataula
circuit we can safely count on the SUI
perior courts of the various counties
being handled with the minimum OF
expense and impartialy in the dispen-
sation of Justice. He is clean, up.
right, moral man, and this, combined
with his ability, will give us Judge
we will be Justly proud Of.

ANIMAL KINDERGARTENS.
The Beaver Kittens Training and the
Young Otter's Swim.

The Beaver Kittens training ana InS
Young otter's Swim.
1t will be noticed that all crea-
lures which have large families,
whether beasts or birds, have less
trouble in rearing them than those
which have only one or two young.
Little pigs are weeks ahead Of calves
in intelligence, and the young
partridge, with its dozen brothers
and sisters, is far more teachable
than the young eagle. There seems
no doubt that the latter is taught to
fly by its parents. A correspondent
informs the writer that he has
watched the old birds so engaged
and the young eagles reluctantly
following them to height.
Specialized education in animals
begins late. The beaver kittens
training does not begin until the
autumn of the year in which it was
born. The old beavers, which have
moved up tributary streams into
the woods or roamed to the larger
lakes during summer, then return
to inspect their dam and repair it
for the winter. They then cut
down a few trees and, dividing
them into logs, roll them or tow
them to the dam. The kittens
meantime are put on to what in a
workshop would be called "soft
job" They cut all the small
branches and twigs into lengths and
do their share of light transport
service. In the mud patting and re-
pairing of the dam the beaver kit
tens take their share, but there is
little doubt that they do SO because
their elders are SO engaged. 1t is a
kindergarten of the best kind, be-
cause mud patting and stick cutting
are a great joy and solace to old
beavers as well as young ones, and
so instruction, pleasure and busl-
ness are all combined.
