fundamental differences between the re publican party and it's chief opponent
 which makes the one worthy and the other unworthy of public trust.
 Difference in Parties.
 In history the difference between democracy and republlcanism is that tha one stood for secession, the other for the union; the one for slavery, the other for freedom the one for a debased currency, the other for a pure currency; the one for free silver, the other for sound raoney; the one for free trade, the other for protection; the one for the eontrae- ton of American influence, the other for its expansions the one has been forced to abandon every proposition taken on the great issues before the people, the ether has held and vindicated all.
 In experience, the difference between democracy and republicanism is that one means adversty, while the other means prosperity: one means low wages the other means higher: one means doubt and debt. the other means confidence ana thrift.
 In principle the difference between de- mocracy and republicanism, is that one stands for vaccilatlon and timidity in government, the other for strength and purpose; one stands for obstruction, the other for construction; one promises the other performs: one finds fault, the other finds work. The present tendencies of the two parties are even more marked by inherent differences. The trend of democracy is toward socialism, while the republican party stands for wise and regulated individualism. Socialism would give to each an equal right to take; republicanism would give to each an equal right to earn; so- cialism would offer equality of possession which would soon leave no one anything to possess Republicanism would give equality of opportunity. which would as sure to each his share of the constantly increasing store of possessions. In line with this tendency the democratic party of today believes in government owner ship, while the republican party believes in government regulation. Ultimately de. mocracy would have the nation own the people, while republicanism would have the people own the nation.
 Upon this platform of principles aA-a purposes. feaffrming our adherence to every republican doctrine proclaimed since the birth of the party, we go before the country asking the support not only of those who have acted with us heretofore, but of all our fellow citizens who re- gardess of past political differences unite gardess of past political differences, per petuate the blessings and make secure the achievements of a greater America.

 Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index

 issue:
 From all over Georgia and Alabama come reports of resuming industries, show
 ing that this section is recovering rapid
 ly, very rapidly, from the effects of the
 business depression of a few months ago.
 which, while 1t affected the south less
 than any other section of the country, yet
 had in a general way more or less de-
 moralizing influence on all business en-
 terprise.
 Cotton mills that have been running on
 half time and four days of the week are
 going back to full time, iron and steel
 plants are in full blast again, and mis-
 cellaneous manufacturing enterprises of
 every description are getting back to nor
 mai condition. Monday of thls week was
 enthusiastically described as "Birming-
 hams Prosperity Monday" by one of the
 papers in that city. on account of so many
 thousands of workingmen going back to
 work on that day.
 The Southern railway announces that
 the work of double tracking its line be- tween Atlanta, Ga., and Washington, D. C., suspended because of the financial stringency, is to be resumed. The old cheerful look is beginning to re- turn to the faces of the lumbermen, for the volume of inquiries. sales are getting more satisfactory and the market is be- gining to stiffen.
 Investors in the two states appear to realize that the present low prices of building materials cannot continue indefi- nitely, and judging by the freedom with winch they are buying brick and other material they seem determined to make bay while the sun shines. Building ac- .....k. k11r rfs tnr m r l during the past few days, and large amount of construction is announced in the Index this week.
 Numbers of interesting land deals are reported for the week, the one of the greatest magnitude being the sale of 5000O acres of timber lands, together with big lumber mill, in South Alabama, the trans action being in the S$450, 900 class All the prosperity is not confined to factories and mines, or to the more com mon forms of agriculture. for the German farmers at Cullman, Ala, are jinging coin in their pockets freely, the resui1 of the big strawberry sales during the spring. Cullman shipped over 70 carloads of stra wberries this season, and the ship ments brought in quite tidy sum. Jefferson county, Alabama is building what it terms model boulevard and the incident is of interest in connection with | the good roads movement all over the two states.
 During the week the sum of $50,0O0 was given the University of Georgia out of the Peabody fund, and this means the erec- ton of another handsome college building at Athens.
 Quite number of Georgia and Alaba- ma cities are now advertising bonds for sale the result of recent elections, and before long will be building schools, streets and sewers and making other pub lie improvements with the proceeds

Welfare of Farmer.

Among those whose welfare is as vital to the welfare of the whole country as is that of the wage-earner is the American farmer The prosperity of the whole country rests peculiarly upon the pros perity of agriculture. The republican party during the last 12 years has &C., complished extraordinary work in bring ing the resources of the national govern ment to the aid of the farmer. Not only in advancing agriculture itself, but in creasing the conveniences of rural life in order to attract farmers sons and daugh- ters toward rather than away from the farm, have the energies of the admin istratlon been engaged.
 Free rural mail delivery was established oyer earnest democratic opposition; 1t now reaches millions of our citizens and we favor it's extension until every com munity in the land receives the full ben efts of the postal service. We recognize the social and economical advantages of good country roads, maintained more and more largely at public expense and jess and less at the expense of the abutting | owners. In this work we recommend the 1 growing factors of state aid and believe l in such national assistance as can be ap- propriately rendered.
 We declare for such amendments of the
 statutes of procedure in the federal courts

Even the old countries like France

Cultiyator A writer who has been
travelling through the pine forests and
rough farming country Of the Auvergne
region was impressed by the large
number OF farm houses that were not
occupied. The region appears to be
much like the hilly sections OF Nor
thern New England. and no doubt the
land has been abandoned to forest
growth for similar reasons in both in
stances. The soil is rather thin and
too rough for successful working by
machinery. Accordingly. many OF the
farmers emigrated or obtained work In
the cities. OF late, however, the French
farmers OF this section note a return
ing tendency on the part OF their
former neighbors. many OF whom were
dissatisfied with their city experience.
