esi involved * Since my appointment a finan
cial storm of great severity haa swept over
the States, felling, in its fury, onr proudest
financial structures. It would have, *
been marvelcus, if we had not felt
lence when it was destroying other
nities and peoples, better prepared
d its power. We did not escape,
that the danger has passed, we shonld
ly ascertain the extent of thO dutna;
tained, and as speedily bend our energftv to
repair it. It would avail me nothing
pict its severity, nor would it answer-;
purpose to excite additional alarm by the
rediction that its murmurs were not forever
hushed Suffice it, for the occasion, to
that it was general in its compass, and
structive in its sweep. No interest escapi
its influence, and no industry but what ft
the severity of its shock; yet, destructive
as it was, Georgia withstood it as well as
other States, far more prosperous in wealth
and resources, and nc ne will advance more
rapidly (in proportion to her means), in re
pairing the injuries sustained, if she does
not prove recreant to her past history. 1
am aware that her recuperate powers have
been severely taxed, and that many of her
sons are discourage'*. at the present sur
roundings, yet we can survive the dangers
that threaten to engulf us, if we pursue the
course that duty will dictate.. Some, con
trasting our condition now with thut of our
people before war had devasted our fields
aud destroyed our property, deduce couclu
sion* therefrom'that we are sinking in tne
scale of wealth and predict for Georgia a
gloomy future. I do not belong to that class;
for. to ascertain our preseut bearing, I begin
not my comparison with the prosperous past,
before we hud known war or fell its conse
quences I look not frmn the elevated stand
point of our greatest prosperity, when wealth
filled our coffers aud plenty crowned our
boSTds—when regulated labor cultivated our
fields, and accumulated capital supplied our
necessities. I stand, as it were, in the great
desert of our misfortunes and our losses, and
here, beside the grave of ruined fortunes
and blighted industries, with nothing left
Jbut land, honor und will. 1 look at the condi-
ion of our people—wealth gone, interest
destroyed, industries para'yzcd, strength
asted—and, relying upou the manhood
that has ever characterized them, 1 look to
the future—not despairingly—aud in pio-
phAic vision I see them slowly ascending,
again, the “green heights" from which they
had fallen during the ltctoic struggles of au
unsuccessful revolution. Paralyzed in re
sources and wealth, the old Stale moves in
the power of bbr majesty; blasted in the
hour of her greatest prosperity, upon the
old trunk, are seen again the swelling buds
of future promise ; buried in poverty by the
powers of war, the hand of resurrection has
reached her, aud with renewed life she he-
gins her onward and upward march. De
spite of gloomy forebodings, prophetic croak
ing*, bad laws amf worse legislation, Geor
gia has ueitber been dead nor sleeping, but.
with a zeal burnished by misfortunes, she
has been slowly working out the great prob
lem of material advancement. True, her
tread has been slow, for she has been heavi
ly burdened, yet still she has advanced in all
the material elements of prosperity. To prove
this, 1 shall not produce the figures of I860,
which tell iu flattering numbers of the wealth
of our people, but I shall begin at the numer
ical table of 1805, with a decimal to start
from and nothing to cany, aud from that
date (the day of our new political existence)
propose to show, by the statistics of the
country, ibat our people have made a for*
ward maroh in the road to prosperity. Ow
ing to a want of authentic statistical infor
mation, 1 am fore d to begin at 1807, und. as
reason for so doing, will copy the signifi
cant words of Mr. Imdge, in his report to the
Commissioner of Agriculture, found in the
Agricultural Report of 1SC5, page 87;: “For
several years the statistics have been con"
fined to the Northern States. Arrangements
are in progress for securing a full corps ot
‘ntelligent and reliable correspondents in the
hitherto unrepresented districts. Unfortu
nately, this region would, at present, maxe a
melancholy exhibition in agricultural sta
tistics, the poverty of which may, perhaps, bet
ter be concealed " Such was the accredited
condition of the State when I begin my in
vestigations. Huin was written upon the
door, posts. Desolation covered her altars
and her hearthstones. From the wealthiest
heights our people had been prostrated to
poverty’s lowest depths. True,? our lands
were left, but, the labor that had cultivated
them had been taken from ns, and without
means, with but little stock but the refuse of
un invading army; with a government in
imical to our every interest, and our towns
and cities swarming with officials, robbing
us of the little that had escaped the rava
ges of war—such, 1 say. was our condition
when I begin my enquiry, and from which
point, let me ask iqgjill sincerity, have we
made no advance movement? In 1865, noth
ing was accomplished as labor was then
revelling in the sweets of an idle freedom.
In 1806, something was done toward organ
izing it and rebuilding our industries, but
unfriendly legislation did muck to retard
it; still, however, some progress was made,
and. in 1867, we agalb Appear in the agri
cultural statistics of the country, and from
that time I propose to trace our progress.
Here let mo premise that, iu I860 we had
slave property valued at $302,091.85*5, while
the value of land in Georgia was $161,764.-
955, or about $4 75 per acre. After the war.
owing to this unprecedent loss of capital (for
slaves were capital) it had decreased fifty
per cent., and was rated at $2 49 per acre.
Begining then, at 1S6S, let us watch its pro
gress in valuation, and see if it has retro.**
graded, as some would lead you to believe.
In 1868 it was valued at $79,727,584, or
$2 40 per acre; in 1S69 it was valued at
$84,576,109, or $2 60 per acre; in 1870 it
was valued at $95,000,674. or $2 83 per acre;
in 1871 it was valued at $96,857,512. or
per acre; in 1872 it was valued at $96,885,-
217, or per*acre—550,000 acres not re
turned; in 1873 it was valued at $101,805,«
039, or $3 05 per acre. Bringing the value
of our improved lands to their estimated
value in 1859, and showing an increase in
value equal to that which yearly marked
our growth previous to the war, having, al
ready, in five years, recovered over twenty-
two millions of it* former value, and surely
I may be justified inlaying that the increase
in value of ihe lands ot the State is a fair
index of Jhe growth and prosperity of the
people. But 1 desire to call the attention of
the Convention to every branch of our mate
rial interest, and see if we arc justified in
the Conclusion that we are retrograding in
point of wealth.
Much importance hasbeen attached to the
apparently great falling off in the value of
agricultural implements and farming tools,
as appears in the returns as found in our
Comptroller General's report, of 1872-73,
when compared with the returns of farming
implements and machinery, ns found in the
United States census returns of 1870, but
this is easily explained when we remember
that, in that of the latter is included onr
household and kitchen fornitaft, plantation
and mechanical tools and machinery of all
kinds As an evidence that they are not
made op of estimates of the same articles, it
is only necessary to refer to the ComptrolIer’s
report of 1870, showing the returns of planta
tion and mechanical tools, for that year, to be
$162,859, while that of the census is $4,614,-
701. As a farther illustration of my pori-
.tion, I will instance the returns of one of onr
most prosperous counties, one that every one
will admit has gained an enviable notoriety
in the State for the energy and enterprise of
its people; I mean the agricultural banner
county of the State—the county of Cobb.—
Her rcturns.of 1873. for plantation and me
chanical! ools. over and above the amount
exempted (as appears from the Comptroller
Vo da* Eeneral's report) is $250, while according to
Tv my i* 1 ® census report, of 1870 it wa9 $61,694. I
* ^ mention these facts simply to show it will
pot do to argue that we are daily growing
K ir in our r.»sources by comparing the re-
upon our tax books,* as found in the
4roller's report, embracing certain spec
article* with the census reports, which
ins other species of property not classed in
returns Let us look to our owu yeatly
reports, where the same classifications are
* [tained, and froth these it will be seen

And a cotton crop of 72G,40C bales,, instead
of 473,034—the yield, 18(>9 and 1S70 Let us
study the»‘e returns. Here (if this census be
true,)we have a falling off of about 19,000,-
000 bushels of corn, with an increase of over
250,000 bales of cotton. Docs not the in
creased average in cotton sufficiently account
for the decrease In the growth of cereals fbr
that year, and the value thereof? But, says
a distinguished speaker, we shall again show
a falling off in the yield ot our leading sta
ples in 1873, and reasons as follows in sup*
port of liis f>orition :
“We have not positive, but only compara
tive data in estimating the yield of our lead
ing staples for 1873. But let us see how the
case stands fur the last three years. In 1870
we made in Georgia 473,934 bales of cottong.
Will make this year one bale for every four
uctcs planted This, said the speaker, is a
liberal if not au-.cxccssive allowance. But
say four acres to the bale, and this-will give
for this crop,.calculated on the acreage plant
ed.* a return of 465,159 bales. . This may be
better than we may do,. nr it may not be as
well I am awariref the doubts Mid ttneer^
taiutics involved ; but doubtless it is not far
from the, mark. So by this calculation the
cotton crop of this S»ate‘ will be less this
year than it was in 1870. by 8 795 bales. In
1870. we made of wheat 2,127,017- This year
our crop is, 1,102,394, showing^ decrease.of
24,623, if the allowance of seven bnsheb to
ihe acre is not grcaGy over (he mark, jwluclr
it most be. ; , - > 5
New we come-IA the great stand-by; tke
farmer's right arm—Indian corn. What say
the figures here ? Why, that in 1870 wc made
18.G46.459 bushels* and this year, allowing
eight bushels to the acre returned as plant
ed, we will have 16,421,168 bushels. This is
a falling off on the present year’s yield, of
2,225,291 bushels.”
now stands the case ? Let us refer to our
agricultural statistics for a guide in forming
our estimates. By reference to the Agricul
tural Reports o f 1868. 1869, (1870 I efiuld
not get,) 1871, it will be seen that the aver-
age yield of corn, per acre, for these three
years is a fraction over eleven bushels. Ta
king this for an estimate of yield of the year
just past, (and no one will say it was not an
average corn-growing year,) and we have—
number of acres in com, 1,927,646, (see
Comptroller General's Report muUiplied by
11. yield of bushel per acre) which gives us a
yield of—21,204,106 busheis, instead of 16,**
421,168. And this -docs not include in the es
timate tlio six. counties which made no re
turn, which made in 1870, 830 622 bushels,
making the crcp, with this addition, 22 000,-

And the receipts in Georgia so*far, of the
present crop, ju?tify the conclusion that the
crop instead of being 465.139 bries, will ex*
coed 600,000 bales as it did last year. Thus
it wili be teen that for three‘yfears since the
war, Georgia lias .raisei T *moi e'cotton than for
any three years preccetfing it.' Or this, how
ever. she should not'boast, because to do this
she has neglected home products—the neces
sary supplies of the country. Large cotton
crops and short supplies will never enrich
the farmers of Georgia, for I assure them that
large crops do not always command the greaU
est.moneypdreturns, as will be seen by the
following statement of crops and their valne:

Here you will see that while in 1870 and
1871 the crop exceeded that of 1871 and 1872
1,372,655 bales, it did not bring as much
money by $20,000 000; the former averaging
$76 per bale, the latter $106- Time will not

lesson taught in these figures. Every thought

Large crops of cotton and small'grain orops
are not as remunerative as large grain iauil
shorter cotiou crops. But to proceed in my

of the State say : “The State has been stead
ily increasing in wealth since the war." And
surely it cannot be claimed that in this year
ly growth onr planters have made no advance
movement.' When we consider that agricul**
tare is the base of the material prosperity of
a State, it would be paradoxical to conclude
that the State was prospering when her
“wealth-producing powei **
smaller and poorer. B&t, s
we grant yon the State has
wealth, pur planters have not added to their
means.* if this be true, (which 1 do not grant)
let ioe ask, wby it is so ? This is anim'po'r^
tant question, and requires a dispassionate
and states.*, unlike consideration. From the
statistics produced, it will be see’n tharinour
great staples we have increased in proportion.
Why fe- it, then, that . the . growers thereof
have not advanced more rapidly ? There is a
cause.. Let us look it squarely in the face.
Is it because of railroad monopolies or extor
tions of capitalfsts ? ' These have retarded
your growth and fed upon yonr earnings and
your necessities; but is this the sole' cause ?
1 shall not flatter to please ; but shall speak
plainly, even at the risk of unkind criticism,
because truth demands ir, and your great
interest requires it You prospered before the
war; you had railroads then; yon had money
dealers then; pon had middlemen then; but
yotr had also, then, well filled corncribs- and
smokehouses. Your agricultural interest was
a setf-feeding, self-suataing one. We did not
practice the short-sighted economy of rais
ing cotton to buy supplies ; but yoii raised
supplies that you might lay up the proceeds
of your cotton crop. Yen have grown cotton
so exclusively that yon have injured your
land; not giving it.a systematic-and recu
perative rotation in' crops; and by this ah’

The Legislature of that j'ear provided /or the

act, in 1867. our number had swe’led to 13U,
of which 93 were indigent soldiers, paid for

University—the pride of every Georgian who
lovos bis State and her institutions. Says
my infotmnni: **In 1866.the University had
78 matriculated; iu 1870, 292, and in 1873,
312.”
The increase in 1869 and 1870 was largely
due to disabled soldiers whose expenses were
paid by the State. The estimate ofthose who
pay their expenses, from 1866 to 1873. has
been about three hundred pei cent. In 1860
the university ha-1 fire professors; it has
now sixteen professors and instructors '’
