HON. HENRY G. TURNER
ADDRESSES HI3 CONSTITUENTS ON
THE SUB-TP.EASURY BILL,
Ard Bays That it la Not Only Imprac
ticable, but Dangerous to the Whole
Country-An Able Defense of South
ern Congressmen, etc.
[Tbe following article from Hon. H. G
Turner against the bill will
an near in tbe Quitman Pres, of July U]
'To My Constituents: On June -4 a
number of gentlemen, members of the
farmers’ alliance, met in tecret conference
at Albany, at which an address was deliv
ered by Mr. Jackson cf Decatur. That
address is said to havv been adopted as
embodying the views of tbe conference, or
rather of a majority of the members. These
proceedings are published in the last issue
of tbe Bambridge Democrat, an.i had been
previous.y distributed through the district
in the form of a secret circular. As these
contain a very serious arraignment of dem
ocratic representatives, I propose a brief
reply.
The address, in effect, charges that these
representatives, of whom I am tbe hum
blest met in caucus and “repudiated, a > un
worthy their consideration,’" “a bill for tbe
relief of agricultural depression,’’ and in
dulged in ignorant criticisms of the bill.
It is perhaps a sufficient answer to t hese
imputations to say that they are entirely
groundless. We held no such caucus; we
repulsed nobody; we gave tbe measure
careful study and returred to all inquiries
courteous and candid answers. It is true
in the face ot the assurance that wo would
be returned without opposition in case we
should support the bill, we felt bound to
sav that we could not conscientiously give
it our support. It was persistently pressed,
and it would have been much easier to
kneel. Our constituents are largely en-
gaged in farming. What motive could we
have had for unworthy or contumelious
treatment of farmers?
The address affirms that “we are given to
understand by discourtesies shown our dele
gation that on account of our stupidity we
don't know what is best fer us.”
If the gentlemen who made this charge
will investigate the matter, they will find
that these discourtesies never occurred.
We are also accused of “fumbling with
the tariff,”and it is also said in this address
f bat “while our representatives have been
umbliug at tbe spigot, the main leak has
.een at tbe hung, and that which has been
regarded as the principal issue has been in
great measui e a decoy for our representa
tives.” This is an indictment of the Dem
ocratic party! If we have shown an inter
est in tariff reform, which means the
reduction of taxation, we have but fol
lowed Mr. Tildsn and tbe platform of
f BTb, Mr. Cleveland and the plat
form of 1888. Every presidential campaign
during our entire period of service, aud
every platform of the state has made the
tariff the chief issue. Was it wrong for us
to follow our own faith, the creed which our
party has so often formulated for our guid
ance, and nVch has so often been ratified
i .mu co is? When Mr. Cleveland
sent Ins i .e sage to congress devoted
to one e subject, and that
the tariff, a. he a “fumbler?” And
when we passed through the House, in ac
cordance with his message and with the
sentiments of the people who voted for us,
a measure of real reform, were we blame
worth? Ard when the people of our party
renominated Mr. Cleveland for theleadei
ship of our party, after that message, and
chiefly on that great issue, were we cul-
pably stupid because we followed his flag
and the national democratic platform ! We
are not ashamed of our allegiance to our
party on this cardinal principle, and f r our
fidelity to it we will go to the political block.
The preamble to the resolutions recites
that it is "evident that the interests of the
farmers have been wilfully ignored,” etc.
It cannot be denied that we have at least
been democrats. If anew test is to bo ap
plied to us, it ought at least to be prescribed
by a convention of our party , duly consti
tuted, according to established usage.
But if it is pioposed to divide our peo
ple on this class issue, in our present
situation, the burden is on these who
lead the movement to make a clear
case. The gentlemen who have pre
pared this manifesto, I must say, with all
due respect, nave taken too much for
granted. If they are “better informed,”
they ought to have left out more denuncia
tion, and put in its stead more informa
tion. They are silent as to their plan of
relief. The governor, who is a candidate
for tbe United States Senate—mo it accept
able to these gentlemen, I presume —s not
prepared to advise as to the sub- reasurv bill,
and Mr. Northen, the candidate for the
next gubernatorial term, in his Thompson
speech, seemed to favor that bill, “or some
better plan.” Mr. N. then added this quo
tation from Dr. Macune’s speech bef re the
committee ou ways and means: “If this
bill, after mature deliberation, be found to
be impracticable, the farmers do not want
it. If it be found to be a class measure, it
is not what they ask.” And Mr. Living
ston is represented, in the report of his
Georgetown speech, published in the Cuth
bert Enterprise and Appeal, to have
said that “he was not particularly
wedded to the sub-treasury plan,” etc.
Senator Vance, who introduced the suo
treasury bill in the Senate, and on account
of his popularity with the agricultural
classes, was nominated by Dr. Macune’s
paper for the presidency, has just written
a letter declaring that he cannot support
the bill. Surely, in such a state of the case,
no man ought to be outlawed because he
doubts the infallibility of tbo measure.
If unquestioning support of the sub-treas
ury bill is to be prescribed as the indispen
sable prerequisite to a nomination for
congress iu tuis district, then will tbe same
measure be applied to tbe candidate of the
Democratic par'v for the next speakership
of the House of Representatives? Our peo
ple have recently had very vivid and lurid
illustrations of the great powers of the
speaker. The present occupant of chat high
place has done more to alarm freemen and to
mould and advance measures for tin ir
■ oppression than was ever done by aav man
■ m tais country in a time of peace, if the
l{r,r ed J Uh t J" eas ury bill is to be applied

+1? that we need more money
, >r * ly easier tra ;faction of our growing
■usiness. W e do not need more money of
mferior kind, such as tho proposed ineas-
B re offers. No class of tbe community is
■ r >re interested in a sound currency than
■'rrnors and lab rers. The inferior money
■ " ays finds its way into their hands more
■dsily than good money, and the good
■ n /’ ,iey is then hoarded by bankers and
■>ttH-rs from circulation.
■ i here is “a better way.” We should have
■" re silver. Kvon the present limited coin
-1 f that metal, which was all that detn
■'ratio i epresentatives could force from a
y-put'lican Senate and republican President
■ -’•■■S. added over $300,000,000 to the
■m ency. We ought to have a repeal of

■ Republican party cannot have tbe power
■ ”< utrol the currency for their own pur-
M" jSe > a “d so that the state can provide.
from time to time, for periods Of strin
gency. Ido not see why the state of Geor
gia could not create banks and
safely invest them with power to
issue bills upon this basis of state bonds ami
gold and silver. We ought to red ice taxa
tion so as toleaviin she bands of the peo
ple SIDD.OOi,bOO, which-the government
could spare without any embarrassment j
wnatever to its neeessarv operations. We
ougnt to reduce expenditures so that tie
profligacy engendered by the system which
takes takes imme :se sums from all the peo
ple and testowi, them on one section, shall
cease. These suggestions need not now be
enforced by argument. They are too plain
to require iliiPtration. Tuey can be ;U -
ported by ail democrats, aud * ouli i less a 1
classes alike.
But the question which, in my opinion,
rises above all others now, is the next q eas
ership. We cannot have adequate finan
cial relief, as all know, as long as the office
is administered by the party now in power.
Even if tbe sub treasury bill is all that its
most zealous friends claim for it, the Re
publican party jeered it when Mr. Bland,
the other day, alluded to it as evid mce of a
demand for more money. But, at last, it is
nothing compared with liberty! A'l that
we love ss a people, and all that we hold
dear in our estate, freedom, is in jeopardy.
The maa who would divide our people
now, or class against class, is not entitled to
the confidence of those who this fall may
be the victims of strangled elections and
arbitrary power. The principles of the
alliance as submitted to Mr. Cleveland I
can approve as heartily as he did. Tbe
national banks I have always opposed, and
voted against the extension of their char
ters. But if 1 stand in the way of harmony,
lam ready to bs sacrificed. But at a time
when the only party that ever oppressed
the people is united under a bold and aggres
sive leader, on the most horrid scheme of
dominion that party ever attempted, let,
not the party of the people be rent iu twain
as in 1860. H. G. Turner.

The American Flag in a New Form.
From the -Yen' York Marine Journal July 5.
When the steamship Olivette left here on
June 30 for her route between Boston and
Bar Harbor she flung to the breeze the new
American flag, or the old flag with the new
arrangement of stars, as suggested by the
ve.ierableGen. F. E. Spinner. This former
register of the United States treasury,
whose unique signature caused so much
comment, writes to President H. B. Plant
of the Plant Investment Company, and
owner of the Olivette, a characteristic letter,
in which he says: “I consider it a great
honor that you do me by p.aeing a flag
with the stars arrauged, as is proposed, to
represent a single star.” The arrangement
alluded to here consists in placing the forty
two stars, representing the several states,
in the form of a single star cn the “union,”
tbe blue background for the stars. It is to be
hoped that the innovation inaugurated by
Gen. Spinner and Mr. Plant will univer
sally prevail soon. Tbe utility of the flag
would be fuliy preserved, and its beauty
and convenience very much enhanced.
MEDICAL.
When The Face
Is constantly covered with eruptions, the
need of a blood-purifier is plainly indicated.
Washes and external applications are of
no avail. The poison must be thoroughly
eliminated from the system by stimulating
the action of the liver and kidneys, which
organs have become sluggish and inopera
tive, thereby throwing upon the skin the un
natural work of cleansing the system of its
impurities. What is needed is Ayer’s Sarsa
parilla— the best of blood medicines.
“ My face for years was covered with pim
ples and humors, for which I could find no
remedy till I hegan to take Ayer’S Sarsapa
rilla. Three bottles of this medicine effected
a thorough cure. I can confidently recom
mend it to all suffering from similar troubles.”
Madison Parker, Concord, Vt.
“I had been troubled for some time with an
eruption of the skin which, till I was induced
to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, defied all efforts
to cure. After taking two bottles of this
medicine, the eruption began to disappear,
and with the third bottle it left me entirely.”
