When I was assailed on every hand

Men of Madison, never repudiate the

proud and honorable distinction, for
those two words arc synonymous of all
that is true, brave, patriotic and loyal.

There are other ways in which
Georgia can honor this great soldier
and statesman, without the Alliance
discarding the principal plank on
which the order to-day stands.
Gov. Gordon will assuredly give
the farmers the same privilege that
he claims for himself—if he cannoi
consistently support the Sub-Treas

any true Allianceman to sacrifice
his convictions and repudiate the
principles of his order, by supporting
him for an office around which clings
the honor, the success and almost
the existence of the Alliance itself.

select for discussion today. They say
in Athens that it matters not what topic
is brought up, that I am sure to riug in
the Alliance and the sub-treasury bill.
I tell you, my fellow-countrymen,
when I think of the wrongs and oppres
sions to which the farmers of our land
have been so long sub
jected — when 1 see this
brave, patient and long-suffering class
at last aroused to a realization of their
situation, and making the most desper
ate and heroic efforts for relief—when I
see the combined capital and power of
the world thrown against them—my
whole heart and soul go forth
in their behalf, and my only regret is
that I have but one frail body and one
feeble pen to enlist in their cause. I feel
that in toy support of the Farmers* Al
liance I have espoused the grandest
cause and undertaken the noblest mis
sion ever assumed by mortal man.
How any good and patriotic Ameri
can citizen, who has the happiness and
prosperity of his common country at
heart, can oppose this organization of
the fanners is beyond my comprehen
sion. S
I look around me and see that while a
few favored individuals are accumulat
ing unreasonable fortunes, the great
mass of my fellow-countrymen are be
ing crashed into poverty between the
millstones bt capital. I sec springing up
on every hand, as if by magic, the most
magnificent towns and cities. I see our
hilltops dotted and our streams lined
with manufactories, and our great state
«heckered with railroads. I see aU of
these individuals,enterprises and corpo
rations blossoming as a rose and flour
ishing like the green bay tree. Then I
look upon the farmer—the man upon
whom we all depend for support and
prosperity—and I see him burthened
the position that I occupy in regard to
this Alliance movement without being
accused of selfish or ambitious motives.
If 1 were looking out for my own indi
vidual gain and benefit, I would have
enlisted on the side of the corporations
and capitalists, for there the money lies.
If I sought political preferment, the
time lias passed. 1 tell you here today,
that there is no office in the gift of the
American people that I seek or that I
desire. My only aim and ambition has
ever been, and will continue to.be, is to
labor for the success of my party, for
the supremacy of the white race,
for the development and up-building of
my country, and for the prosperity and
happiness of my whole people
From the day the Farmers’ Alliame
was organized, I looked upon it as the
hope of our land, and then and there re
solved that, come weal. come woe, I
would do battle under its banner, and
stand by the farmers in tbeir just and
righteous struggle to the end.
I say, my friends, and the words,too,
come from the bottom of my heart, God
ble«s and God speed the AlliancIt is
to you tillers of the soil a declaration of
independence against the tyranny of
rings, trusts and extortioners—and like
the white plume of Henry of Nevarre,
will lead you to battle and to victory.
Look around you today, my farmer
friends, and compare your condition
with what it was before this Alliance
movement was organized. Compare
your store accounts made in 1890 with
those incurred in 1888, and then
dare tell me that the Alli
ance has not proven your friend and
benefactor? It was the Alliance that
rnet and overcame the juto trust—tlio
strongest organization in America—
and its great work has just begun. It
was tbo Alliance that has cleaned out
the Augean stables of politics, and will
place in office men who are pledged to
the defense of your rights and your in
terests. It was the Alliance that raised
the farmer from his crushed and help
less position, and made his calling oue
of honor and respect thioughonc the
length a breadth of our country. And
it is the Alliance, my friends, that will
lift you from the very depths of ruin and
bankruptcy, and place you in your
righteous and God-ordained position
among the freemen and rulers of your
land.
1 cannot imagine a greater calamity
that could befull our country than that
the Alliance should disband. It would
mean the re-enslavement of cvery;tiller
of the soil in America, and the dawn of
freedom now breaking upon our lar-
mers would become a night of oppres
sion.
And right here let me say to every
farmer beneath the sound of my voice,
that if you are not enrolled in the ranks
of this noble organization, lose no time
in sending in your application; and
then let your highest aim—next to the
duty you owe to your God—be to live
up to its teachings and its principles.
This is a duty you owe to yourself, to
your country, to your calling and to
your family.
In union there is strength. So long
as the farmers remained a disorganized
body, they were the helpless prey of any
and every man who saw fit to take ad
vantage of their dependent condition;
but with the farmers united, they can
bid defiance to the world. My greatest
regret is that I am not eligible to mem
bership in,the Alliance; and were I ~k
farmer, I would send in my application
to tlie nearest lodge ere yonder sun had
set.
Never has there been an organiza
tion in America, since the declaration
of independence was signed, that has
met with such bitter and determined
opposition as the Farmers’ Alliance. It
lias been assailed on all sides, and by
every element and every class.
Why, the papers and politicians
openly charged the Alliance with being
a secret, oath-bound organization, form
ed for the purpose of breaking down
the democratic party. Why, my far
mer friends, the Alliance within itself
is the democratic party. While you
held your secret meetings—as every
class of our citizens have a light to do—
you fought your political battles in
broad daylight, beneath our Southern
skies; you fought them in the
democratic ranks, and with bal-
lots;and by democratic ballots you won
the grandest political victory in the an
nals of our state. The Alliance in
Georgia, South Carolina and other
southern states did not break up the
democratic party, as prophesied—they
simply swallowed the party, spat out a
few old moss-backed politicians and
office-holders, and pursued the even
tenor of its way.
But your grand victory this year is
only a foretaste of what is in store. The
Augean stable is not yet thoroughly
cleased, but this needful work will be
completed in due time.
The AHiancemen of Georgia are not
alone in their great fight for relief. The
farmers in every Southern and Western
state are to-day aroused and doing ns
noble and successful battle as are their
brothers in Georgia. From the prairies
of Kansas anil Nebraska to the ocean-
bound shores extending from Maryland
to Florida; and from the great lakes on
tlie North to the balmy waters of the
Gulf, the farmers of our great nation
are to-day working and voting together
as one tnan. Even now you have your
oppressors and tyrants trembling on
their very thrones, and their overthrow
as a proof of this fact, you will find
the combined monied powers of the
world ridw arrayed against it. In my
support of this measure I have made
more enemies, estranged more friends,
and received more abuse than for any
cause 1 have ever espoused. And 1 cannot
blame certain men and classosjwho have
so long fed and fattened upon the mis
eries and utter helplessness of the far
mer, for opposing this bill—tor at one
stroke of the President’s approving pen
it strikes from the limbs of every tiller
of the soil the last shackle that binds
him to his taskmaster. It is a most far-
reaching and sweeping measure for the
emancipation of our agricultural ele
ment—for the day that this sub-treasury
hill is a law, ever}’ farmer becomes his
own banker, his own cotton laetor, and
the sole master of his own crop; and it
renders him independent of the op
pressive power of combined capital,
whether it be in the guise of a ring, a
trust, a speculator or an extortioner.
Every argument that the brain of our
statesmen can frame; eveiy influence
that money can buy, and every power
that force can command, has been
brought to bear to defeat this bill. Its
obituary has been written time and
again ; but thank God, the sub-treasury
bill is today the livest issue in our
American politics.
1 have taken up in iny paper, one by
boys.
The Alliance of Georgia 'has made a
noble fiiht and won a great victory.
You have nominated, and will elect, a
sub-treasury governor; a majority of
your next representatives in Congress
are. pledged to support the sub-treasury
bill, and you will also elect a sub-treas
ury legislature. Now, ray friends, 6ee
that this body in turn eleots a sub-treas
ury senator. Georgia loves and honors
.To m B. Gordon. He was a brave sol
dier. He is a patriot and a statesman;
but since he has proclaimed himself
opposed to this great measure of relief
for our fanners, he is not the man to
represent tlie Alliance in the upper
house of Congress. The fight that the
Alliance made on members of the house
would he worse thau useless if they fail
ed to guard with equal care the other
law-making branch of our government
It is in the Senate where the lymle.-c
and bitterest fight will be made against
the sub-treasury bill, and the farmers of
Georgia must have in that body a repre
sentative who stands pledged to vote for
and support this measure.)
My Alliance friends, 1 am enlisted
with you to the end, and so long as I
can wield a pen or raise my voice I shall
champion your cause. All I ask is that
you stand together and work together,

no relief whatever, I was persuaded to try your ,

change for the better, and at the end of two
months I was completely cured. My tie h was

one, the arguments advanced against j ancemen on whom you can rely to rep
tile bill, and I hejieve I have refuted
them lo the satisfaction of any fair-
minded and reasoning man. So far
as those parties are concerned who are
engaged in fighting this bill for
their own selfish ends, I know that they
are incapable of receiving reason—for
to argue with a capitalist in favor of
this sub-treasury bill is like waving a
red rag in front of a mad bull.
But, my farmer friends,there is an ar.
gument in favor of this bill written in
letters so large and plain that he who
runs may read. Cotton a few weeks
ago was worth twelve cents a pound
Last fall the farmer was paid from tiine
to ten cents. Here is a difference < f
from two to three cents per pound,, or
from $10 to $15 per bale, between what
the speculators received and what the
men were paid who dug this crop from
the ground by their horny hands and
watered it with the sweat of their hon
est brows. The Georgia farmers last
year raised nearly 1,000,000 bales of cot
ton, and were robbed of over $10,000,000
to benefit the speculator. Why, this
vast sum of money would build a gov
ernment warehouse in every county in
our state—would take many a hard day’s
labor from that poor farmer’s back and
give many a comfort to his wife and lit
tle ones. Let this sub-treasury bill be
come a law, and the enormous profits
annually going into the pockets of the
greedy speculator will remain in the
hands of the men who made the crop.
But this great bill will do even more
than this for you. It will enable the
farmer to hold his cotton and dictate
prices. The cotton belt of the world i 3
confined to a very narrow strip of terri
tory, comprising the Southern States of
Nortli America. No other country can
successfully produce this great staple;
and with this sub-treasury bill a law,

with debt and fast becoming 1 an J destruction is as sure to follow as
a serf upon the lands heonce owned. I j that day will follow night,
see one class fattening on the good. My farmer friends, by far tbe most
thingsof the land—to the other is thrown important measure for your rolief ever
the hufiks. I see jfcbe enormous wealth ntr educed is the sub-treasury b.Jl; and
and the Alliance to hold tbe farmers to
gether, and make them act in unity and
concert, there is no reason why our
Southern cotton planters cannot dictate
prices to New York and Liverpool, in
steiul of having prices for their *reat sta
ple fixed by strangers. I believe that it
is only a question of time when the sub
treasury bill will be passed, and cotton
worth from fifteen to twenty cents per
pound. Our farmers can then hid de
fiance to all the protected industries—
for the Creator of our universe has
thrown around the cotton belt of the
South a girdle of protection that no
earthly power can break.
All the Southern farmers lack of be
ing the richest aud most prosperous peo
ple on the globe is the means and the
power to hold their crops and dietatt
prices. We have no competition to meet
or fear from abroad, and tlie manufac
turer must have • ir great staple. In
fact, boys, let this sub-treasury bill
pass, and our Southern cotton growers
will have the world by the tail and a
down-hill pull ou it.'
We don’t want any substitute for this
hill, for it’s good enough and all that
we desire. I want to see tbe day come
when you can carry your cotton to a
town, and when the merchant prices his
goods, that you can have the privilege
of pricing the fruits of your honest toil
As it is now, you l are at the mercy of
the man who sells you goods and buys
your crops. There is an old Adage that
it takes two to make a trade, but this
don’t apply to a farmer when he walks
into a Btore with a sample of his cotton.
You can only secure this right and priv
ilege through the sub-treasury bill—
and please paste this fact on your mem
ory
I tell you, my fellow-countrymen, I
am anxious to see that glorious day
come when a farmer can either get his
own priee for the fruits of his labor, or
deposit it with Uncle Sam and draw tbe
money thereon.
As one of the many substitutes pro
posed for the sub-treasury bill, the one
that meets with most general favor, is
for the government to loan a farmer
money on his lands. Any man with a
thimblefull of sense knows that only
those who have their places unencum
bered could borrow, and a man who, in
this day and generation, has no mort
gage or debt upon his farm don’t need
help.
But this sub-treasury bill helps alike
the rich and the poor—the tenant with
his one bale of cotton is placed on the
same footing with the man who owns
hia thousands ofutres. This sub-treas
ury hill helps those who stand most in
need pf assistance—tiUe poor ono-gallers pet rotors.

K1DKNAPPED BY GYPSIES.
A Son Retuns to His Mother After an
Absense of Forty Years.
Moline, Ill., August 21.—Hiram
Gregg, eight years old, disappeared
from the house of his parents at Elmira,
N. C’., forty years ago. Search for him
was kept up several months, but with
out result. The parents removed to
the West some time afterward, and fi
nally settled near this place. Yester
day a man forty-eight years old appear
ed at the Gregg homestead and an
nounced himself as the boy who disap
peared forty years ago. According to
his story he was stolen by gypsies, who
took him to Wisconsin. He was cruel
ly treated by his captors, and often
times had been beaten and threatened
with death. About fifteen years ago
Hiram married and his gypsy foster
mother disappeared. Hiram and his
wife took up their residence at Richard
son, Oak, countv, Wis., where they
lived until a mysterious communica
tion was received by Hiram telling him
his leal name and that his mother was
living nrar Moline. This led to an in
vestigation, which resulted in the meet
ing. It is presumed that the letter was
written by one of the gypsies in a fit of
remorse.

all out and smash the vehicle into doll
rags. Mrs. Foddrill was badly but not
dangerously hurt. Miss Annie got a
bad bruise on the face. Miss Ilallie
was considerably but not seriously hurt.
I guess the reason the mule is not
mentioned in the Bible is because the
Btblemen didn’t want to take up space
with the devilish animals. You m iy
feed, curry and pet them all you can
and they will runaway and kill you the
first good chance they get.
Mr. Brown and Mr. Weaver, living
near here, got into a dispute a few days
ago. when Mr. Brown threw a rock,
hitting Mr.. Weaver in tae head and
breaking his skull. Mr. Weaver was
still alive to-day, but little hopes of his
recovery. Mr. Brown had business in
Smith Carolina, and has not yet been
c. p .ured.
a party representing a New York
company are buying all the timber they
can get in twenty-one miles of Tallulah
Falls.
Messrs. Ham Finley and Davis Shirly,
while fishing on Tugalo river, near the
mouth of Panther’s creek, saw a sea
monster. They say it was at least thir
ty feet long, and larger than a man’s
body. It was just like an eel, with a
head like an adder, and as large as a
bushel measure, and its eyes as large as
a half dollar, its head extending at least
four feet out of the water. What it was
or its business this high up the country
no one can imagine. The river banks
have bee i lined for miles up and down
looking for this strange monster, hut up
to late yesterday no one had come up
with it. Pkgwood
