THE BLESSED TARIFF.

There is more buncombe--
pure political buncomoe-in the
Republican tariff position than
there is in anything else we have
in our government.
Nothing is more certain than
that the high protective tariff
under which the country has oper
ated whenever Republicans adj
ministrations were in power has
enriched a certain class-the pro
tected manufacturers. 1t has
made millionaires of many, and
multi-millionaires of not few.
1t is the machinery by operation
of which, in the name of protec.
ton, a small manufacturing class
has fattened at the expense of &
large consuming class.-Albany

SPRING FEVER

Spring fever is not altogether
a disease. 1t is the method ma
ture has adopted to give US all an
annual regeneration. Nature
does not grow old. 1t keeps its
youthful visions by living by sea-
sons and starting all over again
each spring time. Spring time
is natures annual resurrection to
newness of life. The man who
does not experience spring fever,
either severely or mildly, might
as well make up his mind that he
is out of step with nature, and
has allowed himself to grow old
and unresponsive to the thrilling
joy of natures annual intoxica-
tion.-Dawson News.

1914 Dollar Worth
Only 90 Cents

At the bottom of an old
trunk. Rodger DoIan finds a
silver dollar in a pair of trous-
ers he packed away just before
the war started in 1914.
This dollar now will buy only
as much as 90 cents would have
bought in 1914.
In effect, 40 cents of the
original dollar disappeared.
That is, 40 per cent of its buy
ing power has vanished, as a
result of the increased cost of
living.
Dolan has always been
thrifty, but he is wondering if
he wouldn't have been better
off if he had spent the dollar
in 1914.
On the other hand, 10 years
have passed since then. If he
had put the dollar in bank at
4 per cent compound interest,
it would have increased to 81
by the year 1882. Money at 4
per cent doubles in II years
246 days.
This phenomenal power of
compound interest, however,
has just about been Cancelled by
depreciation of buying power,
due to higher prices we have to
pay now.
The most pathetic sight in
Germany is the aged couple
who saved for years to provide
for their old age, and now find
their life savings wiped out by
the collapse of the mark
value.
But did it ever occur to you,
that the same thing on a small
er scale has happened here in
Americap
Hundreds of thousands Of
old people thought they had
saved enough to care for them
in their old age. The rise in
cost of living has reduced the
buying power of their savings
by 40 per cent.
AS usual, it's a poor rule that
won't work both ways. And 90
cents saved now will be worth
about ST later, not counting
any increase by interest, provid-
ed the buying power of the
dollar eventually returns to
normal.
Whether the dollar will ever
return to normal, is debatable.
Few economists expect any
sudden return. But history has
the reputation of always repeat
ing. And history shows that
prices travel in 50-year cycles
roughly, up for 20 years,
then down for 80 years, then up
again, later down, so on.
Lately prices have beene ris-
ing again, but they're still much
lower than at the peak of the
cost of living in 1920. Viewed
as long-range proposition,
we may be on the down path
again.
twenty or even 30 years may
pass before cost Of living gets
back to its old-time level, sup
posing that it ever will. That s
just about when old age will be
creeping up to many of us. Re-
CARELESS of how far the cost of
living will finally drop, the dol
lar saved now will be worth
much more later in buying
power.

An Enviable Record

Al A<AA NAe+AA~
Graduation is a momentous
occasion in the life of boys and
girls-a milestone that will al
ways be remembered.
Forty-6ve boys and girls who
had completed their study at
Americus High school received
diplomas from that institution
Thursday.
Their diplomas, cherished
evidence of years spent in dill
gent study, documentary proof
that each possessor has finish
ed the course, carry with them
both honor and responsibility.
To possess a diploma issued
by Americus High school is an
honor to be coveted by any boy
or girl today. Introducing the
speaker, Hon. Frank A. Hoop
er, Of Atlanta, ]. E. Mathis.
superintendent of Americus
schools, Thursday evening paid
high tribute to past graduates of
the high school here, when he
said in substance:
"The public schools of Ameri-
Gus were first established forty
four years ago. Since their
establishment here thousands of
students boys and girls-have
gone out from its portals into
various walks of life.
Its graduates are scattered
now throughout the whole world,
a and in this day of unusual oc-
currences, when crimes of every
81 conceivable sort are committed
almost daily by persons of every
age, it can be said with honor
of Americas High school that
not one of lis graduates-no a
single student who ever studied
there, SO far as is known--has
done one thing 20 bring reproach
upon Americas High school, nor
is there numbered among them
a single individual of whom
the school here has ever had
reason to be ashamed"
Such an utterance can be said
of few institutions in Georgia or
anywhere else. Graduates of
Americus High school, there
fore, may be doubly proud of
their diplomas issued from that
institution.
These precious documents
mean more than the right to
attend Georgia. institutions of
higher learning without formal
ity of entrance examinations.
They mean that every boy and
every girl who accepted such
diploma has earned the right
to uphold the unparalleled rec
ord of their alma mater; to
maintain and expand its sacred
traditions, to add to the lustre
already spread upon its escutch-
con by former students. and to
honor themselves and every
community into which they may
wander through life.
These are the honors and re-
sponsibilities that go with grad
uation from Americas High
school. and we believe. that ev-
cry boy and every girl in the
class of "a will strive through
out life to meet these duties
fearlessly and discharge them
with the same degree of dill
gence and precision that has
characterized their years of
study within the sacred precincts
of Rees Park institution.
The record cited by Professor
Mathis reflects credit, not only
on the institution itself, but on
each Individual instructor, the
various principals and heads of
departments. The influence of
these good men and women
has, in no small degree, made
possible the statement of Prof.
Mathis.
