THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE FUL

THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SATURDAY* AUGUST 8, iBfll.

The Southern Alliance Farmer thus
refers, editorially, to the speech of Dr.
Helms:
“While some of the order may not
agree with the entire policy outlined by
Brother Nelms, yet it is a very fine
speech, and Dr. Nelms is one of our
truest alliancemen, belonging to the
headquarters alliance, is vice-president
Fulton county alliance, and stands upon
the Ocala platform with all his avordu
pols."
The Times-Hecoiiiikii has only space
for the following pithy extracts:
In my remarks to-day, I propose to
make a now departure, and if any per
sons in my audienco should find reason
to differ with mo In the positions that I
propose to take, why, be assured that I
shall not be aggrieved. 1 am never op
posed to any of my people exercising
this inestimable right of citizenship.
The alliance movement is meant to
rectify great evils that exist to-day. I
say to you, with all the seriousness of
friendly candor, that if we will but
stand together as a people we will suc
ceed. There has been spoken and much
that has been written during the pro
gress of this educational campaign I do
not endorse. I do not yield to any, In-
jjido or outside the alliance, in my devo
tion to the rights of the people, a decla
ration that Is thoroughly consistent with
my past, and, by the help of God, shall
be In striot accord with my future life.
But, I say to you, that I feel that it is a
duty that I owe to myself; a duty that I
owe to this great movement that holds
my fullest sympathy; a sacred pledge
that I have made to the state that I love,
as well as a privilege that I claim as a
citizen, to declare now, once and for
ever, that I believe the best and truest
political allegiance is due to the demo
cratic party. In thus declaring my feal
ty to the democratic party I believe that
I display, in the strongest possible way,
my loyalty to the alliance organization.
Tou have heard much about the griev
ances of the farmer during the past
few months. The many evils growing
out of a long train of unjust legislation
have been graphically related through
the medium of the press and from the
hustings; the crying need of better and
sounder financial laws has been empha
sized by men of experience and ability,
until the masses, chafing under real and
imaginary wrongs, have been worked
up to the verge of revolution. I feel
with you the weight of the oppressive
laws that have been put upon us by the
heartless tyranny of the republican par
ty. I, too, feel the crushing weight of
the yoke that these enemies of financial
reform have placed upon the necks of
the masses. I realize the great injustice
done the whole country by a most Infa
mous tariff legislation. But, brethren,
the time has come when we must come
together and reason with each other
about this matter.
I charge,without fear of successful ref
utation, that the farmers of Georgia are
in a great measure responsible to each
other for the condition that they are in
to-day. What has bgen the practice of
the fanner since the war ? They have
been supporting the railroads of the
country, the grain-growers of the west,
the stock raisers of Kentucky and Ten-
nessco, a long line of middle men and
guano men, to the neglect of their own
families. Ton haven’t Intended to do
this, but such has been the result of a
ruinous method that has been unlverally
adopted. Have you been indolent f No,
a thousand times no! Tear after year,
from early mom to dewy eve, you have
tolled. Hour by hour, as the great king
of day mounts to his meridian height,
and on, through cold and heat, until his
face is hidden beyond the western hori
zon, you have tirelessly labored—to
what end f Merely that a given number
of bales of cotton might crowd the mar
kets of the world each year. It is my
conviction that this practice of raising
cotton to the exclusion of all other pro
ducts has done more to cripple the
finances of tho south, and by sympathy
demoralize tho financial condition of our
common country, than any ;>ther one
cause that can be mentioned.' Dema
gogues, who seek to work- upon your
prejudices, will take issue with me on
this proposition. Honest men, admit
ting the ruinous policy of exclusive pro
duction, will argue that the greatest suf
fering comes from corrupt legislation.
But while the latter comes in for its
share of the responsibility, the laws that
now burden us could never bring ruin
and disaster upon a people and section
that wore self-sustaining.
Why, if the farmers of the south
should pursue the method of producing
everything they needed, they would, at
one stroke of policy, save $25,000,000 in
freights annually paid the railroads.
This Small amount token from the
pocket of your adopted son, Jay Gould,
would relieve him of his small change.
Then your smoke-houses and corn-cribs
would bo in your own lots instead of the
far west. Your panturen of green would
certain pedigree, and this entire section
would be aglow with prosperity Incident
re thoughtful, methodical
and economical practice of "living at
home.”
If we should pursue such economy,
practical, money-saving economy, 50,000
stock-sellers would be out of a job, for
we would raise our own mules; a long
list of guano men and middlemen would
lose their occupations, for we would
make our own fertilizers and raise our
own provisions; and last, but by no
means least, we would save a great vol
ume of money that every year goes to
ward fattening railroad magnates. Tho
adoption of this plan would place you in
a position to handle a little surplus of
your own. I would rather get my
pocket change from an old sock hid
away under my own roof, than to give It
in order that those other fellows might
grow fat Do this, and you will have no
need to complain further. You will have
a little treasury of your own creation,
and of easier access. Am I right? If
so, are you guilty or not guilty? Guilty
the record says.
So much for my charge of financial
responsibility. Now, I want to say that
you are to blame politically. If the
farmers of the north and south had re
tained tho control of their government,
and they had the power to do it, thoy
could have defeated the unjust laws
that favor the classes over the masses,
and In their stead enacted such legisla
tion as guarantees "equal rights to all-
special privileges to none.” Tho farm
ers of the south did what they could in
this direction, but thoy were in the mi
nority and had no co-operation from -the
farmers of the north and west. Our
public servants have opposod with their
best abilities and most heroic courage
this arbitrary and oppressive legislation,
and deservo all credit for a faithful per
formance of duty, but they were in the
minority, and opposed by a sectional
compact. The best mon that wo have
in our order could have done no more
than these true and tried democrats
have done. No, it is the easiest thing in
this world to find fault, but let us see to
it that we are just.
This is “a government of the people,
by the people and for the people,” and
the people should control it. The way
to do it is for the farmers to get together
and work to the end that this govern
ment shall rest In the hands of that party
which promises the most good to tho
greatest number. And, now, that tho
farmers of the north and west are dis
gusted with the flagrant mismanagement
and unpardonable crimes of the republi
can party, it occurss to me that now is
the most seasonable time to maintain
democratic unity in the south, and in
vite these honest brethren to join, under
whatever name they choose, in our fight
for the people. I here extend to them
the right hand of fellowship, and pledge
you that I will do what I can to help
them into a party of clean methods and
honest practices.
The south can only hope for relief
by staying on board the old democratlo
ship, that has furnished her protection
all through the, terrific battles of soo-
tlonal hate.

Our party has had only one viotory in
twenty-five years, and this was a partial
one. Then, however, Grover Cleveland
showed to the world what It was to
have an honest government economically
administered, giving to the country an
administration that will stand as a mon
ument to him and the great old party be
represented, long after we have passed
away. Let ns stand by the democratic
party then, my brethren, and nut turn
our books on thousands of friends in the
sonth, who are not members of our order
for the reason that we will not admit
them. These men are our neighbors
and fiiends, who have, at all times, in
war and in peace, been with us. They
have stood by our side when the rifle
was needed, and they have marched with
us shoulder to shoulder in hotly con
tested battles of ballots. They aro true
and tried. We need them, and thoy
need us. Then let us treat them fairly,
and invite them to aid us in this great
fight for principle. Let us take advant
age of the beautiful resources that God
in His mercy has given us, by determin
ing to make ourselves and our country
self-sustaining, and this dono, lot us
remedy our political evils through our
best and truest friend, the democratic
party, and my word for it, there is noth
ing that can stand in the way of our in
dependence.
Tho patrons of Tue Tiues-Kecodder
aro urged to pay promptly the bills
which are now due for subscription, ad
vertising and job work for the past
month. A nowspapor has to pay its
labor the cash weekly, aud on the first
of the month it is necessary for all its
bills to bo promptly collected.
The current expenses of The Times-
Recorder establishment aro about $50
per day, which must be paid every
Monday without fall or delay.
We are therefore compelled to press
collections; and while the small bills
that some owe may cause them to re
gard the matter as Insignificant, thoso
small accounts aggregate several thou
sand dollars, which we are compelled to
collect promptly to meet our obligations.

"Jack the Ripper” Onoe More.
London, August 7.—Much excitement
was occasioned in the Whitechapel dis
trict this morning when a rumor was
rapidly passed from mouth to mouth
that the dreaded "Jack the Iilpper” had
appeared and committed one of his
butcheries that has made his name
household word in this most ill-favored
portion of London.
At an early hour this morning, as one
of the deuizen of Whitechapel, an old
woman named Wolfe, was passing
through one of tho numerous dark alleys
with which the region abounds, she was
set upon by an unknown man armed
with a sharp knife.
From what can bo learned of the cir
cumstances surrounding the attack,
it appears that tho man,whom the people
of Whitechapel are firmly convinced was
the famous "Ripper,” used his kbife
with fiendish energy.
The usual beastly details are given
which wo leave out os unhealthy read
ing.
One of the easiest and best ways of
curing a setting hen is to put her in a
box or cage with nothing to set on or
amuse herself with but boards.
