IH A: BAD FIX. FARMER LARRY OANTT ON THE CONDITION FARMERS i WRITES OF THE Cettea Is Low! and Living Is High aid They Have Not the Where, with to Arrange for New Year 8. Watkinsville, Ga. January .' : J Atlanta Constitution. For the past two weeks I have been mingling with farmers and A1-, liancemeu of the counties of Oconee, Clarke Madison and Oglethorpe, . and have also , seen and conversed with planters from other auc tions. I have made a special study of the political, views of Alliancemen investigated their faith in the ulti mate success of their organization, and given particular attention to the financial condition of our agricul tural element 1 will give you a plain and nn varnished report of the outlook as it - appears, to me, and from what I can gather from par ties living in other sections of the state. 1 1 belieye that the situation in the counties around me will also apply to any part of Georgia. There is no disguising the fact that the average farmer has about reach ed the end of his row, and unless the merchant j and creditor carries him another iyear, and leaves him the land and the implements with which to make another crop, that hundreds of men will be turned out of house and home, or forced to be-, come hirelings and tenants in fields that they ; once owned. . And the poor farmer is ! in no manner respon sible for this j condition of affairs, and neither can it. be laid at the door of that great scapegoat, over production of the fleecy staple, to the exclusion Of provision crops. Last Spring the farmers of Geor gia went to work with renewed spir its and faith, j They had great hope io the Alliance movement bringing them the long-hoped-for financial re lief, and the preceding year they had made lan unusually fine crop; but many planters lost their profit by holding their; cotton until spring. This mistake was their first set-back. you wl remember that, we long rainy spell at the very hat cotton should be planted and chopped put, and the result was that the grass grew faster. -than the crop,; and few farmers were -able to clear; their fields. Then last Sum mer, at the very time that rain was most essential to mature the ripe ning!: bolls, ! we .; had a prolonged drought that destroyed ' even the gloomy prospects pf a small harvest. Say to add to the tribulations of the planter, corn, hay and bacon, that he had to buy from the west, greatly advanced m price, and the small orop WTfeic4 iit fU wm the most ex pensive grown in Georgia in the past as of raw material, and yet we are j ANOTHER PROCLIMATIOS NEED- Then had a tjme He did inore work yesterday thut'fifD yar8- fd then caine the -T-J u- frilast straw that broke, the camels i" ot. ft 0;rl, t back.

And yet we see the men who hold our money bags tightening their grip upon .the currency the commercial life-blood of the country and refusing to let out a dollar on any. collateral that t- people can furnish. We see the pockets of every court officer bulsH ing with papers- empowering to seize upon not only the lands and tene ments, bnt also the plow stock, farm ing implements, anoL. bread and meat of the planter upon whom the w orldj and every class depends for prosperity ; and sustenance.

There is a planter liv ing in Oconee ,'county who lost -his : house and contents by fire, anu bor-j rowed $1,200 to replace them. Be- J sides, he incurred store accounts in Athers aggregating not over $800. Up to the time of his misfortune, he was clear of debt and highly pros perous. But with this gentlemen "when trouble came, they came not single spies, but in battalions." This year he ran four plows and only made five bales of cotton. Last year he gathered from the same land over fifty bales. He made, however, an abundance of corn and killed enough meat to do his plaoe. He estimated that fifty dollars would carry him tlfrdngh next year. To meet his in debtedness this planter had 500 acres of splendid land, and as good horses as the community boasted; and raised hy himself. . But last. Sparing, not exp?ctinsr but tnat he" could easily meet his debts, a mortgage was giv en upon his stock and growing crop. He sold his few bales of cotton and paid the last dollar they brought on his debts, but a balance stilled 1 re mained due. He begged his credi tors to indulge him another year, but they -refused to do so, and he tried to sell part of hu i land, but no one had the money to buyv Yester- V?.v tne csnenit was oruereu to lew upon Sat sell riiff Horses, cornyfja bacon, antivill be donea this once prosperous T&'iT"Teft stranded upon his farm without means to' till it.

The farm-, era are not bankrupt, and , their lands are worth many times the amount of their indebtedness. There is more home-raised corn, forage and bacon in the country than known since the abolition of slavery. Thiee fourths, if uot more, of our planters will be able to operate their farms wet yer wilh bttt little, if any as istanae from the west; Their plow stock and cattle are in better condi tion than lever kuew them before. By the improved system ot prepare ine against washes and the rotation pf crops, our fielda will produoe ful ly 25 per cent more tnan tney um five years ago. Farmers are, learn ing toeconomize too, and anv mer chant will tell you that their store accounts have been greatly reduced. And neither can 1 see auy lust rea son for the low price that cotton brings. . -If their be an overproduc tion of the staple, it shoo Id also af fect the price of manufactured goods ; Here is a great; worn oefore such influential papers as the Cowtitutiori, and 1 air glad it has come to the as-, sistanee of the' farmers. ..Try and build up that confidence so essential; for the prosperity of our country. Show to our lawmakers at Washiugtoni that nb time must be lost in giving the people financial relief. When a panic threatens mercantile' interests of New York the government at once, unlocks ; its coffers and averts the calamity. But today we see the ag ricultural interests of the entire cot ton growing states, imperiled. We seejja million or more farmers on the verge of bankruptcy, and by extend ing them timely aid they can be res cued and 6ave'd. Iet congress at once appoint a conmiittee; to visit their states, 'and investigate the con dition of the farmers aud devise some means to enable them to meet their pressin sr necessities on such "collateral ai. they can give, viz: their lands, or their stock and crops. ' The farmers need help, and thev need it right nOw. It is high time they were preparing for their . next cropand only too many of them are withoh-t means or hope. Recently I was talking to Hon James M. Smith, Oglethorpe's great planter, and one of the brainiest and clearest headed men in the south Colonel Smith tells me that he never knew the country so demoralized. Both whites and blacks have lost heart and hope, and threaten to move in masses to the towns and cities, with a hODc"of bettering their con dition. They ; see nothing tor tneni on the farm. Nearly - every land owner von meet is anxious to sell his place and try his hand at some other business than farming. Many plan ters only made one or; two bales to the plow, and could not pay one-half of their indebtedness. Even the most successful farmers, who paid cash for their supplies, lost heavily. Mer chants tell us that not one farmer in five has paid out. run in the interest of wealth instead of humanity?. Do you not know that it is administered in the interest of capital,so called, or wealth? Do you not know that our system of ex change or commerce is a system of giguatic robbery? .Do' you not know that the toilers who produce J all the wealth have the least, and the ones that produce the least or. nothing have the most? Do you not know, Mr. President, that under this system which "takes from him .that has nothing" and gves to him that has much," or from the noor and p-ives to .the rich has en abled a few men, a mere haudful r31.000 to acouire half the wealth of the country? Now, Mr. President, if 31.000 men or families.? can in thirty years acquire half the wealth of the republic, how long will it take them to e-obble it'all? Under " this system of commerce three mill Siirmiicxs or and sup ported by charity. Thi3. system of unjust exchanges fills our land with idle men who tramp the country .-hunting, work. An advertisement for twenty-five men to labor will bring five hundred in twenty-four hours in any larire citv. Our peni- teutaries are crowded to overflowing, oar jails are full, a demand for larga insaiiuasylnms. What does it mean? More executions by lynch law than by civil law. Murders, suicides, robbery, embezzlements, all kinds of crimes on the increase. What does it mean, Mr. President? . O u r: robbery .system - of exchanges 1 has built up and is now building great eitie3 more rapidly than any country ever did in any age. These Cities in the eyes oi tne supernciai observer are the' pride of the nation. But to the reflecting man who Jooks beneath the surface for causes they. seem to be "storm centers-"' By the mad morah blind mammon-worshiper, they are centers; (6f vice, crime, poverty, wretchedness and misery, tvper of the pit below. They are ul cers on the "body politic, Beethmg masses - of' corruption, " sinks of iniquity standing - over, rumb ling volcanoes. If the great -Father above should see fit to withold only otie crop as He - has in Russia this year, it would strike great cities Ufce a cyclone. And if J our great crops are to be the prize of gamblers, can we expect the great Kuler of the world will continue to put np the stakes to be gambled for?,. Won't lie get tired of being forced into par tnership relations with boards ' of trade men and grain gamblers soon? What does He say on this question? "Go now ve rich men. weep and howl" Why? Because the "cry of the men who reap the fields have come up into the ears of the Lord,' whose "wages have- been kept back by fraud." Who will be the "calam ity howlers" .then? Mr. President,1 do you hear the cry of the toiler of the soil, of the miner in the pit, of the horny-handed me chanic, of the i wealth -producers everywhere; do you bear them crying fon relief, for justice? Do you think that the great God is a'disinterested spectator." Mr. President, do you know what social war now raging means? Or are you of the blind ones whose preju dices prevent them from1 investiga ting and learning? . V Is it possible that you belong to the class who believe that money bas always ruled, therefore it always will?" Don't you see the different state of society now to that of forjner ages? There is too much light in our country now, to admit of any form of slavery being practiced. Not is not paid in mpuey, but the vast debts of our . country, like the fa mous mael-strom, swallow up the property of the people. Hence the farms aro going into this sink-hole by the thousands year by vear. liun- ning on in these old ruts, slavery is our certain doom. Tellintr the iei- ple that. high tariff or low tariff will be a remedy, is giving them a stone" for bread And the dumb people will find i tout by and by! It is not' safe, Mn President to bank on the ignorance of the pebple much longer. ; For ages labor has been the underdog because of igiior- ance, DUt now tne :aoorer is getting his blind eyes open to see hi rights "and demand them. Mr. : I'resident, don't be deceived by the silly . talk that this People's Party ' movement, this "craze," this, "calamity" howl." is spasmodic, epTiemeral, ' ' and will soon pass. You may as1 well dismiss that idea at once .audi forever. It would be as easy to make the Missi ssippi River run' toward the North Pole as to stop this "howl" until the people get justice. ; j No government can count on the great God upholding them in oppres sioiKand -injustice." - Wearied to '.en-' list'IIim in our system of chattel slavery but it did not work. ,We said, and made millions believe the lie, that it was a divine institution. But the 'Lord said no. j We are . how saying by our laws and practice, that usury is right Out of this has come untold millions of debts. From it comes trusts, combines, monopolies, the concentration of wealth i and slavery. - Mr. President, (you occupy a very responsible position. . ' p Scarcely any president of the re- publio, not even Mr. Liiucoln, ruled in a more critical time. . Industrial slavery must go. This war between capital and': labor will end in the emancipation of lVvr I TK; lay.n vt ry much in your power -to! decide wheth .erjt ends peacefully Or in violence. Nothing would be more -apropriate now, that for you as chief magistrate to appoint a national fast day, and call on the people to assemble iu their churches, and ask Goid to help the nofirin tn rtnf ?fanlf iujtuu J rr ii n j wi tnefeTine( law. : National sins are punished by national , Calamities un less repented of, and turned away from.

Oolesby Kichview, 111. A Basiness Tlew We clip the following from ! the Truth, because it gives the truth as well, or better than we could: ; '; "-" -' "Now, the farmers "and; laborers, who are interested in this paper, j ask the business men of this city i and county to give their support fo' their paper. The farmers have determined to patronize those who patranize them. It is merely a matter of busi ness. . The farmers or laborers are not making a fight Jagainst any busi ness-man or nis pusmess, nerc or elsewnere, iney aesire to tee every body prosper, to see all make uioney, if they do so legitimately auu hon estly. It is not , business men these'laborera are after; it is the un holy schemers and corrupt poli ticians that take bread from their months and clothing from' their backs; and by the eternal gods they will; fight them to the bitter end, or "untili their grievances are adjusted. If yon are a reader of history you; knbwj the causes of the destruction of .
