THE CAESESTOUI TRI _I_J '
ESTABLISHED 1875 .
ALLIANCE 6 R 1 EVAN-
CCS.
ASTlfEY ARE SEEK
BY A VJBSIA'MjY.
Gomnion Sense From Pen Of a
Democrat.
As the address of President Page
embodies the substance of the griev¬
ances complained of by the Farmers
Alliance, I shall refet to his speech
for the most part. After mature
deliberation the gifted statesmen of
the Alliance have determined that
the “oppressed interests of agri¬
culture must be amelioratedFor
this wise purpose they propose to
down all ‘combines an I trusts which
for twenty-five years have deprived
the producing classes of a market
for their produce save at prices be*
low tlie cost of production.” 15y
producing elates President Page
evidently considers farmers the only
producers. Boots, plows, etc must
therefore have “growed so” like
Topsy. That is a revelation. Up
to this time we have been under the
impression that they were produce
tions. Very costly ones they me-
too, since our wise legislators passed
high tariff bills to prefect us. To
proceed—
The contraction of the currency,
aa stated by Gen. Weaver, shows
that although there are 88,000,000
more people than there was twenty-
five years ago, there are So0‘2,000-
000 less money. The treasury' re¬
ports slate that there is twice as
much money now as there was in
lb71. Which is correct? There
seems to bo more than a slight dif¬
ference between the great authori¬
ties. President Page then pauses to-
ask why there should be. $50*2,000 >
000 less money” A riddle like King
Charles the Second’s fish. The
same answer will do for both. The
statement was false. Again iSena-
tor Ingalls says “that from 1300 to
1890 wealth has been accumulated
to the amount of $100,000,000,000
yet there uve 10,000,000 of people
that never have enough tc eat from
one years cud to the other, As*
tonislnng statement • but only a
statement, as 1 shall prove. Let us
inquire who the-c half starved f eo
pic arc. The wages of a laborer in
the South arc $i per day and I rt.s-
ident^Page states above, that piod-
uce is. so low, it docs not pay the
cost of production. Thus two days
labor will buy ample rations of bread
and meat for one month,the remain¬
ing twenty four days can be spf.nl
in paying for High Taxed clothes lo
tic enrichment ot monopolist - .
Again “thechief cause in my opin¬
ion is attributable to the act passed
by Congress establishing National
Banks lor through the influence of
these Banks, the act was passed de¬
monetizing sih cr w as passed. ” We
are at a loss to understand ho>v sil¬
ver could have betn demonetized ’
since neither silver nor gold was
used as currency between 1800 aud
1871; every one knows that depre¬
ciated pap«r was the solo currency
during that period. These appear
sufficient reasons without drawing I
upon the Nation ii Banks for influ- ;
Debasing the com lor ilu* !
euce.

But it is idle trying to couv.utf
man who can utter such a speech as
t lus. “ At this time when Europe

out means to buy.” Every ship and
railroad is loaded with grain for
poverty stricken Europe, new c&ia
being buiU,every rerye strained by
railroad and steamship companies
to transport grain to supply the fail¬
ure of harvests in Europe. A fair
price! What is a fair price? Why
the highest price any commodity
will bring in the market, seems the
•nly sensible answer. Mr. Adam
Smith has made this fact soplaiB, it
is a wonder any sane man cm be de^
ceived by such nonsense. President’
Page froii the whole tenor of his
address, is as sweetly innocent of all
knowledge of Political Economy, a3
he is, of regard for fact. There is
but one sensible remark in his speech,
namely—
“And at the same time there are
millions of silver bullion held idle
in the Treasury, that ought to be
coined to assist in canceling these
extended bonds.’' I quite agree with
him in this. What is the sense in
employing one large force in the
west to dig up silver and another
large force in Washington to hury
the same eilver. Why not use what
they have except a sufficient reserve,
a,< President Page sensibly suggests
in canceling the bonds. It is a well
maxim among bankers,
that it is safe to issue $3 in notes foj
$1 m metal. ho Government has
an income from taxes of upwards of
$100,000,000, therefore it is only
necessary lo keep sufficient coin in
the vaults, as a basis for balance of
the surplus coin be used
in cancelling bonds, I will say no
raoie < n this point,as I have already
hown above, that the Vest and Free
Coinage bill., are misch'evous inven¬
tions, facts acknowledged by all
thoughtful men The financial
measures ad< pted by Congress arc
are the laughing etcek of Europe,
they consider us lunatics, only pre¬
served from ruin by the immense
natural resources of the country.
We now come to the tit-bit of die
least, the Sub-Treasury plan. Pres -
ident Page is wisely silent on this
subject, remarking “that it received
no consideration by congress but at
the inst'gatiou of Wall Street
was called forth a storm of abuse,
ridicule and misrepresentation.” YYe
must therefore apply to Col- Polk
the distinguished President of ike
whole “At i,.nce.”' “The abolition

Outrageous Depredations Upon
a Cripphd Bapt ; st Minister.
It will be remembered by our load¬
ers, that last year some one commit¬
ted many depredations upon the
property of Ilev. J. W, Craft near
Goldmine Academy iu this county,
by breaking up several hundred dol¬
lars’ worth of furniture during the
family’s absence, cutting down coni
and otherwise injuring ids growing
crops. SVdcy Gray was arrested and
incarcerated in the Hartwell jail
charged with the offence. It will al¬
so be remembered that the said Gray
escaped jail, since which time ho lias
been running at large. Bent upon
further wreaking his spite aud spleen
on Mr. Craft, lie stole l is horse from
the .stable on the night of the 1 l:h,

A SUB-TREASURY
PI r A M
Better Than^he Concept
Hon Of Alliance
Leaders .
A Way to Silence ‘ Hard Times'-
Growlers.
There is a great cry in Georgia to¬
day about the ‘burdens and oppres¬
sions of the poor farmer.’ The ‘hard
times’ growlers are abroad* in the
band, and the poor susccpfible far*
mer has caught up their refrain and
it is being echoed from the Savan¬
nah to the Chattahoochee.
The jVmcr3 say that they must
have ‘relief and have it right away.
We have a plan to offer 1>y which
every farmer iu Franklin county
may build a sub treasury cm his own
firm.
Here is our plan:
Diversify your crops, ;;
Plant a small crop of d»t on and
large crops of corn ,oat.?,h»—every¬
thing that will hei^W make
your farm sustaining. ™
Bead agricultural journals that
that, talk about agriculture, and not
poUtics, and adopt improved meth¬
ods of forming.
Raise your own meat, stock, etc.
Von can never get ‘relief while y on
allow!ho Western states t« fill your
smoke houses, corn cribs, and stas
Ldes.
Plant a smaller acreage and culti¬
vate better.
Dora buy a faithings worth •n
lime that you are not compelled to
buy.
Produce everything you consume
that can be raised in this climate.
Pont waste any time in attend¬
ing tne Alliance meetings and list¬
ening to the grow lings and speeches
ol the demagogue leaders of the
Alliance. Their false teahinge make
you restless and dissatisfied.
Be industrious, energetic and eco-
nominal.
Give your children the best edu-
calion-d advantages in ’ our power.
Remember that every person in
this county is your friend, and cher¬
ish nothing bat brotherly feeling-
tor your friends and neighbors.
Adopt this plan for one year, and
if at the end of that time, you have
not better sub treasuries in vour
pocket?, smoke houses, stables aud
corn cribs than alliance demagogues
have dreamed of, ana if you do not
feet happier and more at peace with
the world and move of the spirit
°faa intelligent, patriotic Demo¬
crat, come and tell us about it and
we will give you one years subscrip*
Ton to the Tninuxw and acknowl¬
edge that Livingston Mrs. Lease
etc. are better friends to you than
vre are.

hundred dollars an acre, incroacing
to more than double that when
fifteen years old, earning fortunes for
his children, his children’s children,
their children’s children, to the
twelfth generation, is a fact worthy
of your earnest attention. If, when
you fully investigate it, you find that
for you there is no merit iu it, it cost
you nothing to look into.
When California has lands in oran¬
ges, almonds, walnuts, prunes, olives
and raisin grapes, which, fifteen years
ago, were dull sale at $10 per acre,
and now paying good tea per cent,
interest on such lands at $4,000 to
$5,000 per acre, it means something
worth looking into. When, all
through the United States we have
lands just as good, not now worth $5
per acre, which in ten years, could
equal the earnings of the best fruit
lands of Calilornia, it means some¬
thing worthy of trial in planting
pecans, wliich earn double that.
When the cotton planter gets tir¬
ed of being only an overseer for his
merchant, growing cotton at the
cost of ten cents per pound to sell at
six cents, he may have the good
sense to look into some other indus¬
try, and, if sensible, will select some
good land on lus farm, and plant a
pecan grove one acre of which at
only one cent per pound, will earn
him ten per esnt. on a valuation of
$000 per acre, at which price he
could not afford to sell his laud.
'‘Factm nutshell”
Another Fact.—Men who read
this article and tarn up their nose,
and throw it aside as a “boomer,”
not worthy their noitce. will, if they
live ten years, feel like kicking them¬
selves because they did not act as
wisely as their neighbors, and plant
fifty acres in pecans, which would
give them all the money they need
through life.
Another Fact.—The Southern
cotton States should be the orchards
ol the United States. Sumo portion
of them can grow all the fnuts and
nuts Which fcavc made such fortunes
for Californians during the past
v>--
er markets, tiian Californian^ supply
means a big profit to the South.
Twenty-five years of cotton-growing
has left the South very poor;
twenty.-fivc j ears growing fruit and
nuts will make her very wealthy.
Lots of facts i>. a nut shed; but
nothing bettor, nothing sweeter,
nothing earns the money raster than
the Texas .inn shell pecan, which
has a shell easily crushed, and fur¬
nishes food fit tor a queen.
No humbug about these statements,
i hey are all true, and can be easily
proven by most reliable parties.
Eighteen hundred niwe was a year
prolific in the birth of distinguished men.
iu that year were bom Darwin, Tenny¬
son, Gladstone and Oliver Wendell
Holmes. The late Hannibal Hamlin,

for the education of tlic boy* of the
state. But through the Normal and
Industrial college, she pays her first
tribute to the higher education of
vromeu. And it is well. If we
would make G eorgia groat, we must
educate the women of Georgia,
There are Colleges and Colleges m
Georgia, but none Dial promisesBur-h
broad, practical training as the Nor¬
mal sind Industrial College.
The average Georgia college fits a
girl tor society and nothing else.
For those who may bo permitted to
grace the softer phase of life; this is
well enough. But since all girls
should aim at usefulness, and may at
some period in tlicir lives bo forced
out into (he busy world aa bread
winners, parents should teach their
daughters to be independent aud
self supporting as conscientiously as
they should t each them to love the
Lord.
The girl who leaves tba average
Georgia college with her sheep skin
is about as helpless as a babe out in
the worlds great tread mill. She is
not prepared for teaching because she
has had no training in that line.
She U not acquainted with any of
the industrial aria which would en¬
able hsr to hold * j dace t- uocesafully
out in the busy vork-a-day world.
Her education has not been practical
duties of lac Now the Normal and
Industrial cob-oge propotes to reme¬
dy all this. It will give a girl a fin¬
ished education, Ot her for sc nool
teaching, for home making and
house keeping, and acquaint her
with some of the industrial :i arts
which will enable her to support
herself if she should ever be thrown
on her own resources. Franklin
county gills who are going off to
college should consider these facts.
The Normal and Industrial College
will give you all th polish that
any other college can, with a
great deal mor< hat will be praoti-
cal and useful to you m ai'tci life.
