CRISP’S LETTER
TO THE FARMEItS’ A ELI
ANTE OF HIS DISTRICT.
The Evils of Legislation fortlie
Classes—His Views on the
Subtreasury Bill, Kte.
Washington. July 10.—Judge
Crisp has written a letter to the
alliance of his district. It is in reply
to the alliance questions sent him
to be answered. It is pronounced
to Vie the ablest document ever
written upon the subject, and one
which all thinking farmers ap¬
prove. After mentioning the re¬
ception of the questions, the letter
is as follows :
the judge's letter.
For the seven years last past I
have had the honor of representing
in congress, as a democrat, the
of the third district of Geor
ia Durir *S ,ny services !iere 1
‘
have had frequent occasions to in
to discuss and to vote
upon public measures, and repre
*enting, as I do, a district whose
most important industry is agricul
tore, finite naturally 1 have devo
t.ed much attention and thought to
tile existing and proposed laws
which directly relate to or affect
those engaged therein. One at all
acquainted with the legislation of
the last twenty-five years must be
impressed with the fact that very
much oi It has been m favor of
classes at the expense of tnemass
es of the people. Class legislation
is wrong—that is, any law which
grants to one person or class of
persons the rights, advantages and
privileges wliicl, nuiy net be cn
joyed by every oihei person or
class of persons is unjust, and vio
lates the fundamental principle oi
democratic government equali

resulted in giving us a rich govern

goes into tlie treasury, anil they
pay at least |SOO,000,000 enhanced
price on home made goods, which
goes into the pockets of the Amer
ican manufacturers. Let meilius
trate this: Suppose there was no
tariff law and a hat could lie
brought from Liverpool and sold
here for $1. r ihe American man
ufacturer of hats would have to
sell a like hat at tiie same price
or go out of the business. Alarm
law which imposes a duty or tax
of 47 per cent on imported hats,
would force the American pur
chaserof the same foreign hat to
pay q 1.47 for it, and would enable
(he American manufacturer to
charge $1.47 for the same Ameri
can hat. This makes clear the tax
that is put upon Hie buyers of
hats, and it also makes clear «at
whose expense and how the Amer
ican manufacturer is protected.—
The tariff law thus increases the
price of nearly everything the far
mers have to buy, and while the
increase on any one article may
not be very great in the aggregate
it amounts to more than a tl.ous
and million dollars. 1 his vast sum
is unjustly taken from the farmers
and other consumers in the United
States and given to a privileged
class, the manufacturers.

This brings me to the last ques
tion propounded—that relating to
the sub-treasury bill. So tar as
that measure seeks to atlord rebel
and assistance to those engaged in .
the production of the articles men .
tioned therein, it has my hearty
sympathy. But it does not occur
that the object sought would beac
coinplislied by its passage, nor does
!t appear that the bill conforms to
that principle which you and I,
and all other good democrat so
ardently advocate--cml rights to

do not have for deposit the articles

ate part of the taxes necessary to
sustain the system, and yet could

Shall we, who have so long, so
earnestly and so justly insisted
upon the repeal of all laws which
tax some for the exclusive benefit
of others, now abandon that prin
ciple? Unfortunately, many of
our best farmers and best men are
in debt, and that, too, without the
fault on their part. If it could
be made clearly to appear that the
proposed law would benefit them

would be very much in its favor; |

LIMBER INDUSTRY,

Atlanta < ’onstitution.
The lumber and naval stores
business comes next to cotton in
Georgia. The immense cut of 120.
000 acres, or 187 square miles per
aflnura, shows the enormous extent
of the industry.
The extent of the pine belt has
been variously estimated from
5,000 jo 12,500 square miles, or six¬
teen to forty billion feet of Limber
landing.
Without pomp or noise the saw
m jq business in Georgia has grow n
-top by step until it has become
an industry of imposing strength.

j rv j n the hands of rising men.
Atone time the possession of a
saw mill was Ihe be s i,min s of Ii
nancial grief; but withingtliepast
decade a score of Georgians have
been able to heap up handsome
fortunes through the tireless song
of the buzz saw. Ten years ago
the spasmodic home market for the
cheaper grode of lumber, amlthe
not too remunerative foreign mar
ket for the finer grades were de¬
ponded on to keep the Georgia
mills in operation. To-day our

Much of this development comes
the enlightenment of the country
regarding the intrinsic merit of our
forests. Much more of Hie splen
reformation is due to the ac¬
tivity of certain leading spirits
whose energies have been directed
to the lumber industry.
Men like Bacon, Gress, Steele,
Tift, Stillwell. Smart, Amorous,
Colcord, and their associates, have
nursed an infant industry into an
independent line of commerce.

Press Association.
[The following article was intended
for last week's issue, bat was unavoida¬
bly crowded out, and as ii is fraught
w’itli a deal of interest we publish it this
w. ek.]
On (lie morning of the Sth im ...
after waiting Jive hours, we hoard¬
ed the train at Eastman on our
way to attend the press convention
which convened in Fort Valiev.
All trains arriving there were met
by a committee who gave to each
editor and visitor a badge to be
worn during the convention. Any
one wearing this badge was in
formed that they could get any
thing in the city free of cost. Eve
ry store was instructed not to
take , . any pay r from any one
ing the badge. The poor editors
and visitors were certainly well
entertained two days to the
the land affords.
A grand banquet was given on
the evening of the 8t!i. It was tin*
prevailing sentiment of all present
that Grady Institute, where the
banquet was held, was the most
elaborately decorated hall they
had ever seen. It ’rzEz was a

the stage, hearing the motto ot j
Welcome.” No pen can desorilie
the loveliness of this stage; the
most beautiful stands of lovely
■lowers graced every corner; hang¬
ing baskets, pots and vases of rare
flowers were arranged in the most
artistic manner, .ill pleasing to the
eye.
Surrounded by this scene of beau
(y was a table with every thing
that the heart could wish lor.
Many kinds of barbecued meats,
breads, pickles, salads, fruits,
cakes and ices were spread in pro
fusion, and a more elegant table
was never set in Fort Valley, it
was presided over by a bevy of the
most beautiful young ladies of the
city, attired in costumes of pink
and blue, with Tam O’Sbantacaps
andlovely,dainty aprons. Tliis table
was for the speakers, and one of
them said in lus speech that he
had , , not ,, had , a good , square meal , m •
six months until lie came to Fort
Valley.
On each side were Hie large class
rooms, with over twenty-five ta¬
heavily laden, and a close ob¬
could not tell which was Hie
most beautiful. These were for the
and visitors, who were first
in ited to partake. There were
twenty-five young ladies to wait
•m tiiese tables, and they did their
part well, No one went away
hungry.
After the first tables were served
was only a sliorl wink* before
n]] was rearranged, and the dining
anils were l ull again. After the*
