GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1890. Hon. L. F. Livingston appeared before the ways and means committee in Washington City on Thursday sul/treas- and advocated the passage of the urv bill, and in case this plan could not be secured, then, in the name of the agricultural classes of this try, he asked that the farmers be en a reasonable amount of legislation to save them from bankruptrv and ruin. He made an able and eloquent appeal which was weU received by the committee and highly complimented bv the press all over the Union. He made many friends daring his brief stay in Washington and it is hoped and believed that good to the farmers will result from the information he gave as to the condition of the agri cultural classes and the necessity of national legislation in their behalf. — See full synopsis of speech on inside.
