TVtUGLAS, GEORGIA, AUG., 5 191 C. CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS stiMfetew* #wEP ? I 4f|fe*£ TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF THE ELEVENTH DISTRICT. I hereby announce myself a candid ate for Congress from the Eleventh District of Georgia, in the Democra tic Primary of September, 12th. Ishall stand by the Constitution of the United States and the Demo cratic principals of equal rights to all and special privileges to none. The Congress has the power, by its tariff regulations, to make certain sections of the country rich and others poor. It can make one class or section a people of fortune and wealth, leav ing other sections in destitute and povety. It shall be the aim of my candidacy that the Congress in arranging its tariff regulations, shall deal with all classes alike. Since both the Republican and Dem ocratic parties are agreed that, much of the revenues of the Government should be raised through the tariff system, it should be the purpose of Congress to fix the tariff so that all interests should be dealt with alike, and on equal terms. Under the pres ent system the products of the man ufacturers are protected, whereby the manufacturer secures a profit in the sale of his goods, while the products of producers, of cotton, lumber and naval stores are left off the protected (list, resulting in a sale of these pro ducts many times at cost of product ion, and often less,, to pay high pro tected prices for manufactured prod ucts. This system adds to the wealth of the large industries, while the prod ucers of cotton, lumber and naval stores generally conduct their enter prises with little, if any, profit. For many years the Congress in arranging the tariff dealt alike with both manufacturer and producers, keeping the prices of cotton protect- ed for about sixty years, and at the J begining of the Cival war the South i owned 41 per cent of the wealth of I the United States. But after the war the polioy was changed, and the prod nets of Manufacturers protected, and : other products of the South neglect | ed. As a result, it is estimated that 70 per cent of the farms in this sec -1 tion are under a mortgage loan, and j 07000 little white children of Georgia jof school age are unable to read or | write because their parents are too 1 poor to get them into school. The prosperity of the producers j of cotton and other products is depend ent upon a fair price for what they have to sell. With out it, thousands of our people are unable to educate their children, and have to fight for an actual existence. I also favor a market •. bureau through whichthe cotton growers and others mya negotiate with purchasers throught the world for the best price of cotton and 1 other products, there>- by protecting 'their interests frota speculation. ' The Government has, by irrigation and drainage, reclaimed and turned into wealth millions of acres of worth less, land in tne West,'and there are thousands of acres of valuable lands in the Eleventh ‘District!,-which, under scientific and economal draining, would be sources of comfort and pros perity to those who own them, and he Government owes it to these people who are carring the burdens of the Government, to give them such con sideration] ! If with fair and equal opportunity the land owners, cotton growers, lumbermen and naval stores interests in the Eleventh district can have reas onable prosperity, the laborer will re ceive his reward and all other interests prosper as well.
