The Democratic Convention of Kentucky has adcpled the following platform: 4,Tbe Democrats cf Kentucky, in convention assembled, re-affirm without the slightest qualification, the principles and policies declared in the Democratic national platform adopted at Chicago in 1S3G. "Our faith in bimetallism is vindicated by events The necessity for the restoration of the double standard was acknowledged by the President and Congress in 1S97, when a commission was sent to Europe to entreat other Dations to aid in establishing bimetallism, and tbe failure cf the commission to secure European co-operation confirms the friends 0* free coinage in their belief that relief can only come by the independent action of the United States. The present legal ration of 16 to 1 is the only ratio by which bimetalism can be restored and opposition to it is confined to"those who oppose bimetallism at any ratio, and to those who misapprehend or ignore the reasons which led three national conventions to adopt it. " We denounce the present Republican national administration for its reckless extravagance in public affairs: for its cruel and inhuman neglect in its treatment of our soldiers and sailors during tbe late war; for its ccm nlf-fp snhnrdinalinn to the interest of i r organized wealth; for its protection and encouragement of trusts and j combinations; and especially for its J appointment and retention in office ! of an Attorney General devoted to the interest cf trusts and combina tiens "We call attention to the incom- j petency of the present Republican i administration in Kentucky, the j abuses and scandals in the management of the penitentiary and asylums while under Republican control, and we commend the wisdom of the last General Assembly cf 'Kentucky in the enactment cf laws which secure the wise and economical^ administration of the penitentiary and other public institutions of the State un- J der Democratic control; to the j increase in the" rate of taxation; to the vetoing cf all Democratic j legislation favorable to the interests of the people and hostile to the op- I pression and extortion of organized i wealth. "We believe that trust is the result, in a large measure, of tie policies j adopted and pursued by the R-pub j lican parly, chief among which is the | demonetization of silver, by which the j volume of currency has been kept be- ; low the demands of business, aod the j enactment and enforcement of vicious, unwise and unpatriotic legislation, such as the protective tariff laws, known as tho McKiuley and DiDgley bills, whereby there is a dislinn in f.t Vnr f,f CftmOfiifc? wealth and against individual enterprise. We favor the destruction ( f the result as well as the removal of the causes. The re establishment of bimetallism at 10 to 1 and the repeal of all protective tariff laws would do more to cripple and destroy the or | ganizution and operation of the i trusts than any other laws. "We believe the law in Kentucky known as the anli trust law, should be so amended as to make unlawful any agreement, combination or arrangement by corporations or individuals under which, in the carrying on of any business, the price charged ! should thereby be fixed, controlled or i regulated And we believe that | said law should be further so amended as to provide that all contracts made by any combination generally known as trusts, in any kiod of busiuess, shall be void and not enforceable by o?w?V> tvn r-f av /?r\rv>kino tmn on/1 w O ! oulu uuou ui v/uuiuiucvuui;) auu u t | especially demand that all trust controlled articles be placed on the free list.

He Thinks the Maryland Ex Senator the Strongest Candidate and that Silvc-r is a Secondary Issue. The Xew York . World says that General and ex United States Senator Matthew C. Butler, of South Carolina, was in the city a few days ago. He gave to a reporter some interesting opinions on Democratic national politics. In bis eighteen years in the Senate General Butler was always classed as a free-silver man. He advised the executive committee of the Democratic silver conference of 1895 to demand "the admission of silver to coinage with gold at 16 to 1." At the Chicago convention he said: "I am a free coinage maD, but I have become slarmed at the extreme radicalism of the silver people. General Butler was asked for his opinion of the statement made by Senator GormaD, of Maryland, which has attracted- such wide comment, and he replied: "I 8gree with Mr. Gorman in the opinion that the 16 to 1 question should not be made its chief issue by the Democratic party next year. "The people of this country have a way of submitting and determining national questions?that is, by fairly presenting them in a Presidential canvass and then taking a vote on them. That process has been complied with in the matter of silver, and the 1G to 1 advocates were defeated. To my mind that is a determination of the question. "As to the assertion of the Republican press that Mr. Gorman is a stalking horse in this efiort to induce j the Democratic national committee j to modify the silver plank in 1000, i you may quote me as sayiDg that in i my judgmtnt Mr. Gorman would i make tie strongest candidate tLe i pirty could nominate for the Presidency.

Divid saitb "Put not your trust in prince?," and if be had lived in our day be would have added nor in million iires or oil trusts or sugar or whiskey or tobacco or even in cbewing gutn trusts. "Trust in the Lord and do good'' is the only trust he commended. I wonder why these combines are called trust?. I reckon it is because the combiners know it is ;i rascally business and they will have to trust one another to lote fair and divide square, for they can't enforce it by law. These trusts seem to be a modern invention?a North American idea?an idea of our northern brethren to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. The consumers of oil and sugar and such things are not complaining of the price? nor would they complain if they got them for nothing, but these combines are fouuded on selfishness and greed. They disturb the general' welfare, destroy the equilibrium and put the public in constant peril. They can raise the price when they wish to and there is do competition to keep it down. If competition dares to build up against them they can destroy it in a week or a month. They have no heait or pity or kind consideration for their employees, but can reduce their wages or discharge them at their pleasure. They defy the law and biibe courts and lawmakers. Now, it may be possible that the oil trust or the sugar trust sell us those commodities a3 cheap or cheaper than if there were no trust?, but we would rather pay more and have a free fight. It is all a one-sided business and the old maxim that "competition is the life of trade" has been viitually destroyed. We old men have not ceased to lament the destruction of the hundreds of small industries that before the war enriched our State aDd made cur people happy and contented. The time was when there was a wagon shop and* a blacksmith shop at every cross roads?a hatter's shop and two or three shocshops in every village?a tanyard in every settlement and little mills on every creek. But big fhb have swallowed up the little ones. Their products may be cheaper now, but the producers have had to move away or go to planting cotton. Northern capital takes our irou and timber and bides and wool and after paying freight both ways sell back to us what we had been makiDg at home. Time was when I wore shoes that were made in our village?made from leather that was tanned not far away. Time was when I was proud of the wool hat that Ben South made?made while I was looking on. I remember that the whipping post was planted not far from the batter's sbop and bow I ran bcms 012 one occasion to keep from seeiDg a wbite man whipped. "I will meet you at tbe batter's," was a time-bonorcd maxim, but is not now. Time was wben once a week I rode tbe little bay mare to mill tbree miles away and left my ^rist so as to bave a race back with ?ome other boy. And there was a country school on tbe road and tbe boys waylaid us because we bad drred to cry "school butter." This reminds me to say in passing I received a letter the other day from some Alabama school-boys wanting to kcow the origin and meaning of school butter. My father was an old-time school teacher and said that in Lis boybocd the expression was "school better" and signified that "our school is better than jour ?chool," and it always provoked a collision. Some very hungry boys corrupted it into "school butter." But the town boys never go the mill nowadays: the mill comes to them. Home-made shoes and hats aie things of the past?everything comes from the north, and is now made by a trust? and on almost everything we use cr consume there i= a duty or taiifT, and we pay our pait of it to keep up the pensions and fight the Filipinos. Talk about the trusts? that pension trust is the biggest trust of all, and the most corrupt. Hjw the north stands it I cannot understand.

Ohio gets 813,000,0)0 this year, : and Georgia bas to pay l.er quota of ! the 100,000,000 and gets nothing. | Yes, Georgia pays about S-3,000,000 annually through the operations of the tariff. I bought a pocket knife i today for 50 cents that I could have , bougLt in London for half the money. Just think of it, my brethren, ?6,000,j 000 in tariff taxes annually to sup| port a million pensioners, one-tenth j of whom are entitled to it under the i law and nineteenths are irauds. This scandalous trust is backed by the G. A. Rs, and they are backed | by the Republican party, and that party is backed by the cohesive power of public plunder. If this wa9 811 that Georgia paid we would ! be happy, but our State has to pay her part of $890,000,000 more than ! it takes to run the national machine. ' I Altogether we pay not less than j $40,000,000 annually for the privl ilege of remaining in the union? | How is that for oppression? I tell you, it takes a vast amount of patriot! ism for a southern man to love his | government and fight for it. The ! only way to be a patriot is to shut one's eyes and go it blind. It would j not do to think about our grievances, j for they interfere with our digestion. Besides all these troubles there is a long, dry drought upon us, and | our gardens have dried up and the ! mnridv Via?j aivpn r.nfc. and Mia <?nnk ! is sick, and I have to hunt up kindling : wood and fire up the stove before ' sun-up and go to market, and there is a picnic on band tomorrow and ; one of the littTte grand-children got j hurt on the juggling board.

Besides all ; this, the town is kept in commotion ! about the jug business, and it has got into the courts and into the churchep, and folks have taken sides and friends are alienated, aDd a man i don't dare to go town hardly for j fear of being drawn into it.

"When a man's ways please the Lord He naaketh even his enemies to be at peace with him," but his ways don't seem to pleaso tbo Lord in Cartersville, for his enemies aro not ; at peace with him.

Then, again, Hon. Pope Brown, ; the zealous president of the State Agricultural Society, says the State j will not prosper any mere until the ! negroes are sent away or colonized; | but if they won't go, what is to be i done abcut it? He says that education has ruined the negro as a laborer, but how is it to be stopped?

That would be a good deliverance all round, but I i don't delieve they will go to any extent. The nigger is in the wood pile 1 and he is here to stay.

Mss'.ors Mads Slaves. ' j I Edward W. Eok, Editor Ladies' Home Jour. al. One thing which led me to make I up my mind never to touch liquor j was the ruin I saw it bring to some J of the fiuest minds with which I have I r>.r?me in rnntnnh. T have aeon. oven , J in my few years of prcfestional life, i some of the smartest literary men > dethroned from splendid positions, .owing to nothing else but their indulgence in wine. I have known men with salaries of thousands of dollars a year come to beggary from drink. Only recently there applied to me for any position I could offer him, one of the most brilliant editorial writers in the newspaper profession ?a man who two years ago easily commanded one hundred dollars for a single editorial in his special field. The man became so unreliable from drink that editors are now afraid of his articles, and, although today he can write as forcible editorials as at j any time during his life, he sits in a _11 # r ? !i! ceiiar in one 01 our cuiea wrurag newspaper wrappers at one dollar a thousand. That is one instance of several that I could relate. I do not hold ray fiiend up as a "terrible example". He is but one of a type of men who convinced me, and may convince others, that a clear mind and liquor do not go together. I know it is said when one brings up such an instance as this: "0, well, that man drank to excess. One glass will not hurt any one." How do i these people know that it will not? One drop of kerosene has been known to throw into flame an almost hopeless fire, and one glass of liquor may fan into flame a smoldering spark hidden away wbere~we never thought it existed. The spark may be there, and it may not bo. "Why take the risk? Liquor will never do a healthy boy or young man the least particle of good: it may do him harm. A man who wili wittingly tempt a youDg man whom he knows has a principle against liquor is a man for whom the halter is too good.

Becoming interested in this fact, I had the curiosity to inquire into it; I found that of the twentyeight leading business men in the country, whose name I selected at random, twenty two never touched a drop of wine. I made, up my mind that there was some reason for this. If liquor brought safe pleasure, why did these men abstain from u? If, as some say, it is a stimulant to a busy man, wby'do not these men, directing the largest business interests in this country, resort to it? And when I say that these were the men whose opinions in great business matters were accepted by the leading concerns of the woild, I concluded that their judgment in the use of liquor would satisfy me.
