My Only appeal TO the farmers
of Georgia must be based on years
of devotion to and service in their
interest, and a determination as
fixed as that of my nature to be
ever found in the ranks of the DIES
lenders of their rights and the
promoters of their independence.
THE QUESTION OF EDUCATION.
The peoples money should be
spent for the education of the
MASSES. A school system should
be given the country that will .lot
drive farmers TO the town and city
tor educational advantages.
Give ample powers 10 your rail-
road commission to carry out 3he
great purposes for which that cons
mission was established. Keep the
great principles Of the democratic
party ever in view and demand of
your state and federal officials that
they shall he carried out.
DANGER AHEAD.
Federal bayonets will again be
seen aC your polls.
Force bills and government cons
troll of the ballot box are in store
for our people.
The Old party whose banner you
have placed IN my hands, uust
again take its place before the
temple OF our liberties, and present
an unbroken front to these ene-
mics Of our social organization,
and thereby maintain ",he political

lanta Trust aud Banking company,
says ten millions of foreign loans
have been placed on Georgia farm
lands, and Of this sum halt has
matured and the other half rem aims
in force According to an expert
witness then, the existing loans
amount to about five millions.
With this as a bass we can cal,
culate the pant the 'oan business
will play in the gain of these 1891
farmers There are about $50, 900
adult farmers in Georgia. tthese
$50, 600 owe altogether Us, 900, 900
to foreign lenders, the average far
mer owes in the proportion $50. "a
outside the state; aId 1891 aver
age farmer owe altogether $50, 1856
to foreign lenders. Deducting
this from their net gain of $685.
7l2, they are still 1889, 346 ahead,
alter the loss of the losers has
been paid out of the gain of the
gamers. Ii we consider only the
l ,344 who have gained, and write
off S33. 33 per capital for foreign
loans, We have only S44.800 to de-
duct, and that leaves then the
handsome increase OF 81 ,245, 5l3.
That dispGses OF the question OF tor
elgn loans AS to what these
farmers owe their neighbours,
merchants or local money-lenders,
it may be safely assumed that they
owed no more in 'S9 than in "a. In
fact, we lave high evidence that
they owe a great deal less. Colonel
Livingston, who has canvassed the
subject in almost every countyinthe
state, says that In every part the
farmers are nearer out OF debt than
they have been since the war, and
that a few years more like 1889
viii wipe out their debts and leave
them independent.
Some of the farmers who are
men OF advanced aye have given
part of their property to children
during the last five years. Where
a son or daughter marries, the
Georgia farmer generally does the
handsome thing if he is able.
This cannot appear in the returns,
although it is a certain and regular
cause of diminution of estates,
especially among welI-to do farm
ers, who can give land more easily
than business men can give away
portions OF their 'pitaI.
The gain side of these gifts is not
represented in the returns of the
younger farmers, for the cores
pondeuts were told not to take any
farmer who had inherited property.
Dougherty county furnishes an-
other instance where the facts are
better than the returns. The cor
respondent says it has been the
custom in that county to return
farm lands at the uniform price nt
50 an acre, until Judge John p.
Fort concluded That 50 so was
enough, and returned his property
at that price. There was IA contest
and Judge Fort was sustained.
The other farmers followed suit,
and farm lands have since been
given in at halt the former price.
This clue was followed by the
planters quite generally" says the
correspoL dent, "and the result is
that the farm Lands make but a
small showi Y on the tax books OF
DougherLy county"

THE STARVING SOUDANESE.
A Brief Description Of the RaVages

The English occupation of the
Soudan was one of the most terri
BILE Affections ever visited upon the
people OF that region if we may
Judge from a communication pub
lished in the London Times over
the signature of Mr.. Henry II, Ha-
worth. He calls attention to the fact
that the English invaded the coun~
Try, slaughtered the best and most
vigorous men and then forsook all
responsibility, leaving the ravaged
land a prey to the vultdre and
jackal. A letter to Mr.. Haworth
from a friend residing at Suak i'm
is quoted as follows:
You have no idea the awful
state of misery the country is in.
The population is absolutely starv
ing, and the people are living skel-
tons. Only the very Wealthy for
merIy have sill something left.
OF course the greatest misery is
among the widows and children OF
the men we have killed, and we
must have disposed Of at least
twenty thousand, and those had
considerably over one hundred
thousands dependent on them, so
you can guess the local misery. II

10 the { Citizens Of Houston

as evlnced by your votes in your
primary election, at which time
you affirmed, in no doubtful mans
her, your desire that | should en-
ter the gubernatorial race, and
bear the standard OF the democratic
party, commands my gratitude and
my services.
This voluntary testimonial Of
confidence, from men who have
known me tor years, has touched
the tendcrest chords of my nature,
tor it was given by persons of ev :
cry calling, and in every profess
sion and industry.

rs au evidence of their estimate of
life service to the great party they
represent, and to the unwavering
friendship aud support 50 long gIv>
en- to the great industries of The
people.
THIS action on your part is APP
preciated more highly because it
cones from merchants, mechanics,
professional men, farmers, and
jealous aIliancemen; men who have
known me for a quarter of a cents
ury. and who are, therefore, relia-
bic witnesses when they testify to
my devotion to their rights and my
fidelity to their interests.
THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE.
am not asked to accept the
position of standard bearer as the
farmers candidate, CIR that of the
alliance, or other professions, but
as a representative Of the great
democratic party which fosters,
with jealous care, the Interests of
all classes, all professions, and all
industries. The democratic party
is the party OF the people, the de-
fender of their rights ami protec-
tor Of their interests. Its cartlio
nal principles are openly avowed.
Rigid economy in conducting public
affairs, the raising Of no more rev>
enue than Is required for the nec>
essary expenses of the government;
opposed to the fostering Of one
branch of industry to the det>
riment of the others, and to the
Capitalization of the powers Of the
government; exact justice to all
men and to all industries, special
privileges to noue; in dividual lib
erty, uncontrolled by sumptuary
laws; the faithful education of the
rising generation; hostility to any
and all monopolies in all legisla>
ton: to money trusts and combines,
because they rob toll of its earnings
and labor Of its bread.

Remember the state grange,

ever instituted for the planters
wcltare.) 1t driited from its moor>
ings, entered INTO politics under
the guise of direct trade, wherein
great results assumed much saving
in cost and much increase in prot
its to every farmer in Georgia.
Some, high in agricultural posi-
tons now, made these promises
then as they are making Others
now. They were never fulfilled.
Distrust of the members in their
organization followed, and the

could be written "Killed too much

This was the condition off affairs
in Georgia when an ante-bellum
wing .espoused the cause of the
democratic party, and called upon
the people from the mountains to
the seaboard to rise in their males
ty to put the usurpers down.
GEORGIA WAS REDEEMED.
Success crowned our efforts.

white people OF the state, who now

My services were rendered to
the party then, as all Georgians
can testify, aud no one will doubt
my fealty new to her principles
and her cause.
THE FARMING INTEREST.
AS to my connection vita and
fealty to the agricultural interests
Of the state, which is the engrossing
topic CT the present, l can only re-
fer you to my record in the past.
Fer twenty years president ofyour
State Agricultural Society, elected
eleven times with great unanimity
its president, l can point trium-
phantly to the confidence thus re-
posed il me by the agriculturists
OF Georgia, as an evidence of my
fidelity to their interests. Their
cause has never suffered at my
hands, and | assure them now,
VITA all the earnestness of my ma
ture, that the same zeal in their in
terest, the same support of their
rights and demands that characters
lied my record in the past, will
mark and crown my present and
future efforts.

condition. for | said to your last

their demands that you have
formed an alliance for the protec>
ton and maintenance of your
rights. 1t is a holy crusade
against an army Of extortionists
who unblushingly demand the
fruits OF your toll. There are
trusts on the right of you, uu-
friendly combinations in front OF
you, hostile capital on the left OF
you, each and all actuated by a
common purpose to rob toll of its
earnings, and labor OF its reward,
though in so doing they throttle
to death The great industries Of the
country. In your great struggle
against them, take no steps back

is ruin. Demand for yourselves
nothing but what is right; submit
to nothing that is wrong. SO act

DR.. BOWERS SUES. SUIT has
been commenced In the United
States District Court of San Fran
cisco by DIR. j. Milton Bowers
against the Supreme Council of the
American Legion OF Honor tor
SIS 900, with interest thereon from
Decem Der /, 1885. The case is
the same one that was commenced
by the plaintiff in the State Courts
some time ago, and it has been
transferred to the Federal tribunal.
The complaint sets forth that the
So 200 sued for is the money, that
should have been paid to him, ow-
ing to the death of his wife, Cecilia
Bowers, and which is known as life
insurance money. 1t is rumored
that the setting of the case in the
Federal Courts will lead to a stub
born contest, and it is not improb-
able that the entire Bowers case
will be reopened in hearing the
matter.
