A REPORTER learned from a con-
versation with Hon. Robert Alex
ander yesterday that his pear
crop will be an utter failure. He
says that his Leconte trees are bar
rem of fruit and that there is yary
little fruit on the Kieffer trees. He
attributes this to the late cold spell.
Mr.. Alexander's orchard is situated
in rather low place, and is entirely
surrounded by a forest. 1t is
thought by many that this would
protect the trees from the cold, but
it has tnrned cut that trees growing
on high elevation suffered less
than those in low places, even when
sourrounded by a forest. Thomas

ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT.
MARIETTA URNAL rs THE
Official Organ Of the Farmers Alliance
of Cobb County.
EDITED BY ALLIANCE COMMITTEE.


The world of business and very
much of what good will there is in
the world will be turned upside
down in this year, 1892. Whoever
''gets there" will be of less account
than the fact that tariff "reform, "
the bloody shirt, carpet bag rule,
the ''force" bill, the Solid South
and all that class Of bugaboo, no
issue issues, will be largely relocated
to the rear and the men of muscle
will demand of the men of money !:
How is it that we do so much and
have so little, while you do 50 little
and have so much?
The alliance and all other indus
trial organizations will press this
question home in all its forms, and
in all its bearings.
The demands of the Ocala plat
form are some OF the different phases
CT this supreme question of the hour.
Friendly conversations, morning
salutations and evening good-byes
will be seasoned with earnest in
quiries and discussions OF the cause
OF the producers of capital.
The managers and holders . Cor
getters) of capital, with their great
projects and more than kingly power
have, for the past generation, beer
the observed OF all observers.
1t will be the same stage but :
new troupe of actors. The greasy
mechanic and the sun Drowned farm
er are coming before the foot lights
They will hold up to view and ask {
solution of such figures as the fol
lowing:
How is it that thirty years ago we
farmers owned three-fourths of the
wealth OF this nation and paid three
fourths CT its taxes, while to-day we
possess less than one-fourth the
wealth and pay about the same pro-
portion of taxes?
In whose interest are laws made
and executed in a nation with
$50, 900, 100000 of wealth, SIT,
900, 1000, 100000 of which is enrolled
for taxation and all except $4,000,
600, 100000 is assessed against farm
ers? Please answer or retire. S.

The Puritan fathers, who settled
in America, we're greatly addicted
to smoking; indeed, the practice
became SO common that even these
straight>laced observers OF time and
seasons actually smoked in church.
This custom soon caused consider
able annoyance, as the religious
exercises were greatly disturbed by
the blinking Of steels and fints and
the clouds Of smoke in church.

AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION..ITS
CAUSES AND CURE.
BY HON. T. R., CARsKADoN.

BY HON. T. R.. CARSKADON.
By many well-meaning people it
is not believed that there is any real
depression in agriculture, perhaps
largely growing out of the fact that
political necessity seems to require
party organs to teach the masses
otherwise. Want of space and time
will prevent my going largely into
details. / will, however, give GER
tain incontrovertible facts, which, l
think, clearly prove the position l
have assumed.
1t will not be disputed that in the
last twenty years the aggregate
wealth Of the country has increased
more rapidly than ever before. This
being true, it would naturally fol-
low that farmers should now be bet
ter off, more prosperous, and their
lands worth relatively more than in
the past. For it will not be denied
that the largest part of the wealth
OF the nation comes from the grow
ing, harvesting and distribution Of
the products ofthe soil. This being
the case, with fair distribution Of
the proceeds farming ought to be,
and would be, a prosperous and
ever-increasingly profitable business
to those engaged therein. Unfor-
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1892-05-19
1T Is THE FIRST STEP THAT
COUNTS,

COUNTS.
Financially, the farmers of this
South Land were az the starting
point when the war closed. They
had to take the first step towards
getting food and shelter for their
families. Now suppose it had been
absolutely impossible to incur any
Indebtedness at any store from that
day to this. What do you think
would have been the present fnan-
cial condition of farmers as a class =?
While you are studying and guess
ing over that question you will be
clearing the way for the correct So
luton of our present financial diff
culties.
In trying to solve the riddle just
take into account that a store &C.
count for running a business is very
mnch OF the same nature as indirect
taxation fer the running expenses Of
the general government.
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1892-05-19

lstics prove exactly the contrary.
Forty years ago farmers owned a
very much larger proportion of the
nations wealth than now. Farmers
owned of the wealthof the nation:
In 1850, i've Fights;
In 1860, less than one-half;
In 1870, little over one-third;
In 1880, little over one-fourth;
In 1890, less than one, fifth.
This, too, while farmers compose
over so per cent. of the population
and pay over 81 per ceat. Of the
taxes.
These peculiar hardships to the
farmers will be further and better
understood when we note the fact
that while the total wealth of the
nation is given as S., GOO,O 900 in
round numbers, only 81, 1000, 100000
is taxed, and Of this S14, Zoo, 900, 900
is charged up to the farmers.
Statistics also show that while
manufactures and general commerce
have greatly increased, agriculture,
while large in volume, has, notwith-
standing our marvellous agricultural
growth and expansion into the al
most illimitable farming lands of
the West and Northwest, fallen off
feartully in comparison with other
industries. While to many it would
seem but fair to conclude that with
proper treatment and protection
agriculture would have maintained
its original high position, | presume
none will deny that nothing but
most oppressive and Unequal bur-
dens could have reduced it to its
present humiliating and unnatural
relation. AS further proof of our
rapid enslavement through the re-
duction of the currency, through
railroad pools and other ungodly
combinations hereinafter referred
TO, other statistics show that while
in 1867 the average value of wheat
per acre was S23.05, during the ten
years ending in 1888 the average
value was only S10.58 per acre
less than half of what it was in 1867.
Corn since 1867 has gradually come
down from 1887 per acre to 1882
in 1888. In 1867 farmers received
from the cultivation of 65,000,000
acres s1,204,03 300, while from
al, 100000 acres in 1887 they re.
ceived only s1,204,2 89,37O. Thus
from the cultivation of more than
double the number of acres, and
consequently of more than double
the expense and labor, farmers re>
ceived about $50, 100000 less in 1887
than for the 65,0O0,OO0 acres in
1867.
The further baneful effect and
natural result of these facts and this
experience have been to seriously
affect the value OF our farms-for
like any other property farms are
only valuable in proportion to the
profits derived thereirom-so that
where it takes two acres to yield
what one did before, the two are
worth no more, but less than the
one was. Hence we find that in the
lands of this State, West Virginia
and others of which / know, there is
a depression or loss in value of from
40 to so per cent from what these
lands were worth 20 years ago. To
illustrate give the result Of actual
sales which have come under my
own observation:
A 12O-acre tarm near Pennington,
N. j., sold in 1876 for s10,8OO.
The same farm sold in 1889 for
$3.50. And dozen others show a
similar depl eciation.

important theme. Education. as his
subject.
1he address, though short, was new
ertheless very pointed. and abounded
in good advice to the pupils. He spoke
OF the great and glorious opportunities

us to take advantage of them. He en-
couraged the slow, hard-studying pu-

despair because they could not learn
as easily as some Of the brighter ones.

as quickly forgotten. He gave some of
his own experience as illustration of
this. He spoke Of the ethical as well
as the intellectual part of education.
and gave to the boys special warning
III regard to the state of affairs in our
country, and especially in our county.

Observation from Oxford.

DR.. Needham, the Irish Bible
teacher, is now in Oxford. He has
been conducting these services twice
a day since last Sunday morning. and
will close them Wednesday night.
DR.. Needham is a scholar. a clear,
deep thinker and fine talker. His
illustrations are opposite, clear, forcible
and chaste; and sincerity and Goodness
pervade his intellectual face. sending
JOY and gladness, like the gentle dews
of heaven,' to the hearts of his most
silent and appreciative hearers. Every
morning and every night the church is
crowded to overlooking by the ex-
pectant hearts of men. women and
children, eager to catch the inspired
words as they flow like a mighty river
Of water from the great heart of the
speaker.
His talks on the Bible are entertain
ing and instructive, helpful; and Hen
derson and its good people are to be
congratulated upon their good fortune
in having him soon with them.
Mr.. Fife has been here also in COM
pany with DR.. Needham. making after
talks in the services. S.
Pine Island GuanO, the popular tobacco
fertilizer, has stood the field test for wears
and never been surpassed. Its results are
