AX APT REPLY.
The Hancock County Farmers lo tho
Xew York Trlbuue.
The New York Tribune has been
flooding tho country with circulars
addressed to agricultural societies,
farmers’ clubs and grangers, setting
forth ihe imaginary advantages of a
protective tariff lo the agricnl
tnral interest, and requesting sugges
tiop.s as to how f irm products may
be better protected. One of these
circulars was sent to the Hancock
County Farmers’ club. We publish
the reply which was sent to the l’rib
une by Mr. 8. D, Rogers, the secie
tary of the club. It is excellent
reading, aud v.e hope the Tribune
will give its readers the benefit of it;
Sparta, Jan- 20. — Henry Hall,Eeq-,
business superintendent of the New
York Tribune—Sit; Our club (the
Hanc'ck Farmers) is in receipt of
your circular letter of January 14th,
setting forth the necessity of speedy
tariff action by congress in the iDter
est of American farmers, truck rais
ers and fruit growers. Also, we re
ceived along with said circular a
schedule of important duties upon
many such articles as farmers pro
dace.
This county (HulcgcL), named for
the patriot, John Hancock, the first
signer of tho declaration of independ
ence, a man who loved freedom and
hated tyrants the world over, won,
by the efforts of our club, the first
premium, $1000, for the best display
of farm products at our state fair,
in October. One of the mofet beauti
ful designs in our display bore this
inscription: “Tariff reform ihe
Farmers’. Hope." On each side of
the base, in letters of golden grain,
were the names of tariff reformers,
viz: Northcn (president state agri
cultural society), Davie, Gordon and
Cleveland. This elicited great adrni
ration and favoiable comment. A
picture of our exhibit will bo for
warded you, postage free, on receipt
of one dollar and fifty cents. This
is suggested as an offset to your so
licitation of purchasers for the Trib
une Almanac.
With such a record as we made,
under such a motto, we could never
get our consent to go before the
American people in the contemptible
attitude of beggars to congress for
protection, so called. Our people
want real protection, that which ena
bles us to go into the markets of the
world and make our sales and pur
chases with the least possible taxa
tion compatible with our obligation
to the government that protects us.
This we can never have with the pres
ent vampire tariff, that compels ns to
sell our products, principally cotton,
at plices fixed in Liverpool, but pro
hibits us from going, or sending
there to make our purchases.
. We aro neither clamorous nor de
sirous to have prohibitive duties im
posed upon farm products, since that
would benefit American farmers but
little aud do much harm to our
friends, the American public in gen
eral. If the fruit and truck growers
near the sea cost towns where you
claim so much of such stuff is dump
ed on the American market, fail io
grow a sufficiency of these things
for their pillions, they have no just
cause of complaint if the ’deficiency
is imported.
The president has demonstrated
to the satisfaction of all right mind
ed persons, who have given any
thought to Lis message, that a Ligb
protective tariff is a public curse,
not a blessing. That it is de
signed to benefit only the proprie
tors of protected industries, and not
the mass of farmers, laborers and
artisans. He shows that of the sev
enteea and a half million laborers,
only about three milbon are engaged
in industries that are proiected.
The message is not unfriendly to
the farming interest, as you claim ii
to be. He seems to be for the peo
pie: against the monopolists and
plunderers! And by that sign he'll
conquer! if could only
As to the farmer, he
buy his implements duty free, and
his clothing, family supplies, nnd
comforts, at greatly reduced duly
rates, he could furnish all provisions
consumed by the Americin people
and export vastly more than they
now do. Then agriculture would
flourish lo an unknown and astonish
ing degree, which it can never attain
by tho present high tariff methods.
Respectfully, yours.
S. D. Rogers,
Secretary Hancock County Farmers’
Club.
TVILKES FARMERS.
Resolutions of the Club in Regard to
the Tariff Policy of the President.
At a meeting of the Eist Wilkes
Farmers Club, the following pre
amble and resolutions, introduced by
Mr. Frank W. Barnett, were noaoi
rnously passed:
Whereas, some of the politicians
and daily patters of tho atate of
Georgia are making great opposi
tion to the measures of tariff reform
recommended in President Cleve
land's message; and, whereas, the
farmers of this state do not bappon
to fall in the category of “mouopo
lists,“ or ’‘the favored few,” who
grow fat under protection: and where
as, nearly all the necessary articles
of consumption bought by them are
bought at an advanced price of fifty
to one hundred per ceut, by reason
of tho protective tariff taxes, and
none of tho articles produced by
them for sale are in any manner
whatever increased in ptiee by this
same protective tariff;
Aud. whereas, protection dees in
no manner whatever protect the
farmers of the state of Georgia,
everything they boy being taxed,
and nothing they sell being protec
ted; therefor#, be it resolved:
1. That we heartily endorse Presi
dent Cleveland’s message, and bis
propcsod method of tariff reform.
2. ThatVe oppose Senator Brown‘s
bill for tho repeal of the internal
reveuue, because wo belive that re
foim should begin first on the ueces
saries of life, and because, likewise,
the direct and pecuniary interests of
the farmers of the state demand
that reform should begin here, just
as the direct and pecuniary interests
of “the monopolists 1 ’ and “the favor
ed few” demand that reform should
not begin here.
3. That we will not. iu coming
elections, support aDy candidate
who is not in avowed sympathy
with these resolutions.
