THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE FUL TON COUNTY ALLIANCE Proente nil View. nn the Polltlcsl Outlook In Unmistakable Lnnt-uacn- Tbe Farmera of the South Should Pro duce What They Need. THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SATURDAY* AUGUST 8, iBfll. W*'r m 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. SPEAKING OF PEOPLE.

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.
